HI.

Little slow around here this week.

I am still sick but feel better today, thankfully. I didn't get all of my points in yesterday, but hope that is okay once in awhile. I tried to, I even had a ww sundae & sherbet last night.

Dab - the energy I had on Sunday is totally gone now! Wish I had it back.:p

Lauren - sorry about the nausea.

Liz - hooray for your good run! Hope the scales start moving for you.

bye! Rabbit

:) OK I still can not get into eatting right. I didn't walk yestrday and really don't want to today. Woke up with throat killing me. It is the weather changes here I am sure. I am going to get off my butt and go for my walk I will post when I get back. OK I am going, going gone for my walk. Daphne

OK I did my walk and I about died. Why is it so easy to lose stamina? I didn't like my walk today like I usually do. I have to be OP today because it is to easy to say tomorrow. OK my tomorrow is today and I will be OP again. Daphne

Hello!!!
Rabbit and Lauren-hope U both are better!!!

Debrat--Yeah on the walk!!!!!

I went to the healthclub-did 3 miles on the treadmill and kept hitting my stomach with my kness when I was doing the recumbant bike soo I cut that short....I am 12w 1 d and now my energy is picking back up!!Yeah!!!!!:smug: Nausea is down to every few days!!!Lauren-hang on a little longer!!!:^:

Hello all!!!!!Have a great evening!!!

Hello All,

Just got back from standing in the rain for 8 hours :^: . OK so it didn't rain for the whole 8 hours, just enough to make it feel like it. Sun's supposed to come out tomorrow though so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Was pretty disappointed at WW yesterday, I had a touch of the flu on Mon and didn't drink any water since carbinated beverages made my tummy feel better, so I'm hoping it was just water weight :( . I've been re-evaluating this whole weight loss thing, I don't seem to have the right mindset, and I need to get it back.

LBH & Rabbit - hope you're feeling better soon.

RR - glad you're getting you're energy back :) .

DeBrat - Congrats on getting in your walk even when you didn't want to.

Liz - Glad you had a good weekend :D.

Lys - Been there, done that :o ! Good luck getting back on track.

Well hope everyone has a great rest of the week.

- Tech :spin:

Well all, my life has turned to complete chaos. There are so many things going on at once, that I can barely keep track of it all. Being here has been such a good motivation, but I am afraid I must leave for a time. I do hope to come back, but for now, I must say adieu.

I wish you all blessings as you continue to work on loosing weight. I hope each of you can find your inner motivation, that will propel you toward you goal. Remember, that loosing weight is for you and not for anyone else.

Check ya'll later!!!

Princess, you know where to find me!!!!

Hi girls!

It's been an awful week at work! Fortunately, The rest went OK, except for the diet. I didn't go over the edge, stayed in at about 1900 cals for two days, but am not happy with me either (can also be pms, because as they say here the Red Commies are arriving in a day or two). Havent't weighed myself either: still did not buy scale (feel very inefficient person), went to the gym to get weighed, and was suddenly at my ideal weight (20 pounds less than now). Was happy person for about 2 seconds, then I realized that these scales had broken down, too...
Well, all in all I think it's been a pretty tough week on all of us, reading your posts. Hang in there.

One good thing (when it comes, it comes all at once)
I went to see a friend, who told me she is moving fom Athens to New York. She's doing satellite TV for Greeks abroed, and they have a farewell live broadcasting on Saturday. As I am a Greek from abroad now living and working in Greece, she asked me if she could interview me. I don't know what this is, next thing you'll probably see me in a guestrole in "friends"...

I'm doing this thread in the Food!section, does anyone read it? it's about easy recipes, and they get a lot of reading, but nobody tells me if they like 'm or hate 'em...

Dabrat, get yoself together girl! You might have a touch of the flu if you're not feeling well, but try to eat healthy, too, it will help you to feel better! Try do something else if the weather is not helping and you're feeling like...

Rabbit, you're almost done with being sick! Hang in there

rr - wonderful the nausea is finally going, and keep up the good work in the gym!

Tech-alum, don't lose heart! We all know how difficult it is to lose weight. But you can do it and so can we. And if you have been on track with the rest of the diet then it probably just IS water retention, you'll see!
I feel very bloated right now (pre-mens) so I don't want to weigh myself, either!

lizzard, I had 4 glasses of wine yesterday (I partied 2 days in a row). I always drink some water in between drinks and a BIG glass about 1/2 hour before I go to bed. I used to have awful hangovers but now I feel bouncing (!) and fine in the morningas long as I drink the water during and after (1 glass wine/spirits+1 big glass of water). I felt guily too about the amount of wine, but enjoyed it nevertheless, and I know I am going to make it up during the weekend when I'm supposed instead!

Pryia, where have you gone?

Greetings for now, madhouse in here

:devil: Greekgirl

Hi All,

Well, it's starting to look like Day 3 of feeling kind of OK! :) I hope it's passing for good, but who knows. As long as it stays away for at least the weekend, because I really need to clean my house and switch all the clothes around!

GG- Well, you're just becoming a regular celebrity over there, aren't you?! :lol: Have fun! I'll have to take a look over in the food section for ya'.

Lyss- I'm soo sorry to hear you must leave us for awhile...I hope it is just that, only awhile. Please check in every now and then if possible, and let us know how you are!!

Tech- Yuck, doesn't sound like you had fun. :( We're supposed to get 4" of rain today. :eek: Hope you have a nice sunny day today! Hope you're feeling better.

RR- Glad you're feeling better and the energy level is picking back up! Another week and you'll be out of the 1st, right?

Brat- Good for you going for the walk! It's soo hard to get back into a routine, isn't it?

Rabbit- Hope you're feeling better!

Liz- Ooo, sorry to hear about the wine, but good for you going for a run after waking up feeling like that! :D

Have a great day all!!

HI ALL.

I'm still congested, but the energy is picking up. :)

Dab - yeah for walking. Hope the sore throat is not the beginning of getting sick.:p

RR - hooray that your energy is coming back.:D

Tech - hope you can find your way. I know it is tough.

Lyssa - goodbye for now & good luck!

Greek - :lol:

Weigh in is tonight - should have a loss.:smug:

Hi guys. I've been a real slacker lately. My eating, journaling and posting all suck bigtime. I know that I do better when I journal and when I come here. Well, so far, I am OP today. I still have dinner to go, but hopefully I will be good.

Lyssa: Sorry things aren't going well. Please stay in touch. Let us know how things are going.

Lauren: Yeah on feeling well (I'm wearing a mask even as I type 'cause you are way too close to me and I don't want to catch those PG germs!!) :D Hope it lasts through the weekend!!

Rabbit: Yeah for you too. It awful to be congested. I've had to go back on the meds but at least they are working!! Good for you staying OP.

Greekgirl: Wow, just think, we can boast that we knew you before you became famous....................Have fun with it!!

I've been having so much fun collecting my Dawn dolls. I have 11 now with three more on the way. I even made an out fit. Here's the link if your interested:http://mywebpages.comcast.net/kek/outfit2.jpg

Guess I'll go for now. May check back later if I feel like cheating!!

Hello all!

thanx for the good wishes for saturday! I am sooo nervous! Anyway, i was approached by a beauty center about two weeks ago because I had "won" something. I knew they wanted to sell me a wonder slimming program (no, thanks) but they are obliged to give me the present anyway, which is a complete facial. I am having it on Saturday before the broadcasting, that should boost my confidence! Also, was good on the diet yesterday!
Went to the hairdressers today at 08.30 without an appointment and begged for a haircut. Fortunately they had an opening. I look a bit alike Halle Berry with the short hair, only it's not curly, red and a lot chubbier.
(Gawd, aren't I vain? Anyway, it boosts my conf so I consider it's good for me, kinda rewarding therapy, I've been needing that what with work not going very well and all)

I have finally bought my protein: it's from the brand Perfect, 92+ whey protein, 1 scoop (1 heaped tbs, about 1 oz) is about 28 gr protein and 1.89 carbs, 115 cals. This is perfect with skim or no-fat milk (about 200 cals total for a big glass).
Also good for a low carb diet or when you are fitnessing. Mine has also got vitamin B complex but no guarana or caffeine, or ephedrines etc. It's definitely more filling than a smoothie. Just shake wel! here it costs about 30 Euro's which would be about 27 $ for 750 gr.
For me, it's the only way to keep the proteins up! I eat healthy but never get my quota of protein!

Girls, hope I'm not getting boring!

Have a wonderful weekend all!


:cool: :cool: Greekgirl

God loves you when you love yourself

Happy Friday to everyone!!!!!

I just want to share my huge incredible accomplishment today. I jogged a 10K this morning which is 6.2 miles non-stop in 72:28. Never in a million years did I think I would be able to do this. I can still remember like it was yesterday the first time I was able to complete a mile without walking.

I'm really proud of myself and I feel great (mostly mentally at the moment -- my feet, legs, & hips are not as happy as the rest of me is :D )

Thank you Bailey!! I feel like I owe a lot to you for inspiring me to get serious about running again. You're the best!! :)

Hi All,

OK, so eating crackers in bed before I get up definitely helps! I feel pretty good today.

Liz- How incredible!! I envy you, I admire you! Hope you're not in too much pain later! :D

GG- Have fun with the facial tomorrow! Man, I'd love it if someone would just massage my face for an hour or so, then they could play with my hair...I could almost fall asleep thinking about it!! :lol: I'll have to remember to write down the contents of the protein powder I bought. This AM I made a shake of 1 c skim, almost a cup OJ, a few icecubes, 1 strawberry (the rest were getting fuzzy!) and 1 1/2 scoops of protein powder. It was OK, thought it would taste like a creamsicle, but it didn't, that's why I added the strawberry. It wasn't very thick, so I guess I need to keep bananas in the house.

Karen- Hope you dragged yourself back on the OP wagon! I'll try to aim my sneezes north or west, so they don't head your way!! :lol: What a cute outfit you made...I didn't realize you were soo domestic!! :lol: :lol:

Rabbit- Glad you're feeling a little better at least!

Have a great day all!!

HI!

I lost 3.5 pounds last night at weigh in!! WooHoo! I'm back in the 17's for the first time since before the holidays. And I don't plan to go back up.

Karen - journaling is definitely the key for me.

Greek - Enjoy the facial.:cool:

Liz - Wow on the jogging! Awesome. :eek:

Lauren - glad the crackers are helping you.

have a great weekend all.
