I need to re-adjust my GW too...I am gaining more muscle, my tummy is getting smaller and my arms are getting more defined.....I've got to focus more on tone vs weight.

I"m 177.5 this am....

happierme88 07-23-2013 08:03 PM

Im back! Sorry I checked out for a bit. I started working in a hospital...my shifts are 10-14 hours 5 days a week and I have never been so exhausted lol. My diet was really tightly controlled my first two weeks, but I found it too hard to keep up with Atkins/ low carb. I basically dont get a lunch break, so I was going all day on 2 eggs, a cheesestick, and almonds. My stomach started to kill me so now Im transitioning to weight watchers which allows me more flexibility. Hopefully thatll work out, otherwise, Im gonna have to figure out how to fit in low-carb meals while working!

Id like to join this challenge, and Im gonna set a goal weight loss of 5 pounds but i have no idea what i weigh right now (i imagine its a bit higher than I last checked lol). Ill check tomorrow morning.

Shoutout to Sue and Lulu! You're both doing so well! Congrats!!! I read your posts from a few weeks ago and you're messages were very sweet so thank you! And also, Sue you asked how the test went that I took a little over a month ago, and I got my score back and....i did well!! haha thanks for your support =)

wannaskipandlaugh 07-24-2013 07:47 AM

Happierme!!!!! HELLO and it is so good to see you!!!!!! :) Glad you did well on the test YEAH! and working so hard on top of that! But you are helping people which is one of the best things ever... Don't disappear so long again!!!

Wannaskipandlaugh - WOW on 249!!!!!!!!! That is totally awesome!! Best news ever!!!

Happierme - From what I have read consistency is what matters most not the plan - one of my male coworkers is doing weight watchers and using an online app to keep track!!!

Not at home so I can't weigh today but I overate yesterday so I know it wouldn't be kind to me anyway!!!! Today is a new day!!!! ......people are starting to notice the progress!!!

Lulu NH 07-25-2013 05:45 AM

Argh.. had a Really BAD DAY at work yesterday... Meeting to air out stresses and it was all directed at me... I work too hard... I do all the closings, I click on an email task 10 minutes after it comes in and say I reacted too fast, I did marketing to get new business and was chastised when I actually met an office manager for a new possible client and the other girls were mad I did not ask them to come with me? WTF????? I just think they are worried about their jobs and they are just looking for things to get mad at me for... But since I have only been there 4 months I have to eat it... and it is REALLY HARD!

smith1313 07-26-2013 08:29 AM

:hug: sorry about work.

I really kicked in the exercise and drinking water. I know I wasn't doing too much of either. I hope to see a difference not only in my weight but my tolerance as well.

wannaskipandlaugh 07-30-2013 07:52 AM

I am up.. and sad about it.... Had another stressful day at work... I am just keeping to myself so that I am not perceived as overworking... so that makes me sad... The other 2 girls are just happy as they have all the work now. I spent 2 hours just looking at our companies contacts to make the time go past.. I ...... just need to go find another job that does not waste me and my work ethic.... I have only been here at this job for 4 months and I had thought it would be a good job.. sigh.... (which the other 2 girls are complaining I am doing too much of.. gee wonder why?) I am eating on plan.. but eating more than I should...

YICK!! Too bad we were not born rich and famous! Stress is a killer on weight loss too. I remember seeing a think on cortisol, stress and weight gain. I think dr oz mentioned something too, he always has a pill and potion for things. I kinda like vodka myself. LOL!

i work in nursing and we are expecting our state/federal inspection soon. It's getting ridiculous!

wannaskipandlaugh 07-31-2013 07:21 AM

Maybe I have a shot at the GW and not settle! :D Lost all the water I had gained yesterday and an extra 1/2

I agree with you Smith.... STRESS really is a killer... I hope that your inspections have, at most, minor corrections! I wish you a good day and where is everyone else? I know Lulu was outta town for awhile.. but she could say hello! LOLOLOL
