Morning Ladies!

Hope everyone enjoyed their brief mid week holiday! I sure loved sleeping in late!

I've been really bad lately and it finally hit me on the car ride home last night that I really need to get my act together and start exercising again. I have to alter my dress so it can fit me and I'd really like to be able to say it fits good before my wedding. Right now its just too tight

Either way, eating out has really been my downfall lately. That and not counting points. I haven't been to an actual meeting since before June because every weekend now is like critical for the wedding. I even had to cancel plans with my dad for father's day because something else was going on. It's bad. And I'm ready for it to be over with.

I got a call from my bridesmaid last night that her dress didn't fit her. I'm so worried that David's Bridal is not going to let me exchange it that it's not funny. Guess I'll find out how thats going to work out later today.

Ok.... enough of my pouting... its time to get positive and start losing some weight for me! Who's with me?

Morning Ladies! Finally work has slowed down and I'm pretty much just cleaning the office today. I spent an hour cleaning out the flower beds and getting all the weeds out. Now if my boss would just tell me what kind of plants he wants in there I'll be ok.

I'll probably be cleaning all day which is good cause I need to move a lot considering I have to weigh in tomorrow! I think I'll maintain or hopefully lose with all this movement! Next week I'm jumping back on the horse for a strong finale loss!

This weekend is really packed. I have to get my nails and hair done tomorrow so I can take my bridal portrait on Sunday. I'm kind of excited about it even though I still need to get the dress altered.

I imagine that a lot of you are out for holiday. Just don't forget to weigh in!

Have fun Tina! I wish I were poolside...

Well, I have bad news and good news. Bad news is I put on 2 lbs during the 4th of July eating and whatnot...the good news is I went back on program Saturday and am happy to announce that I lost those 2 lbs plus one more, hehe....I am still not in the 190's but I am working on it. I never thought in all my day's I'd want to be back in the 190's, but this 200's stuff really bums me out.

I weighed @130 this morning but I put 128 cause I know it is water retention and as soon as I drink plenty of water it will be gone. It is from the birthday eating I did this weekend lol

Thank you it almost feels like it is all in vain thought cause of the excess skin and i just cannot sfford to have it removed. I am hoping it will still tighten up some by next summer then i will have to learn to live with it. It is a chilly summer here here so at least most days I am wearing a sweater even thought I would like to be able to show off what i have accompliched so far.

You will get there Diva it just takes a lot of persistence and hard work as you know it ain't eay and never will be cause even thought most of the weight is gone the real challenge starts....keeping it off.

The skin thing is gonna suck. I won't be able to afford removal either unless we save up for yrs. I'm hoping the weights and toning will help that situation and I am always moisturizing and drinking water, so we'll see. I haven't been fat my whole life, just the past 14 yrs of it, lol! Actually I was only a bit overweight. The obese thing didn't happen until 3 or 4 yrs ago.

You are so lucky to have a cool Summer. It's freaking 94 here. I HATE being hot. Thank God for AC.

I love the heat ,it isn't even hitting 20 degrees celcius here most days. I have seperated abs and A LOT of stretch marks from having 4 kids and being oveweight. I was 200+ at my highest but was about 185 after baby 4. Ispent most of my adult life at about 170. I am smaller now than I was at my prom cause my dress is too big.(BTW I am 29 as of the 7th). Weights have helped some expecially in the arms (I stil have batwigns just not as bad lol) but I would still rather have extra skin and be heakty rather than overweight.

Popping in saying hello!! I've been busy with my bestfriend here and me, her and the kidlets are leaving tomorrow for our drive down to Texas. I'll check in again when I get to my parents. Hope everyone is doing well. I put on 2lbs in the last 2 wks. I hope with the swimming I'll be doing at my mom's that some of this weight will go go go!!!
I just wanted to stop in and let ya'll know that I'm still in this. I hope Chellez you can use my free pass for last week.
Well I gotta go finish packing. Talk to you all soon!!

Afternoon ladies!

Well we are into our third day of our final week of the challenge and I know we are still moving right along! We have had some great times this go round and thankfully no drama! I'm excited for us to finish with 17 people on our team Let's pull it together and give the red team a run for their money this week!

I took my bridal portraits on Sunday and I'm going to put them up in my photobucket this afternoon after I finish my homework. The wedding is only 39 days away and I'm so excited!

I'll try to be back on later... depending on how busy I get at work.

Hi Blue Team!!! Just popping in to let ya'll know I'm in Texas now. Can't believe this is the last week of our challenge. I didn't come close to my challenge goal, but I did lose and learn. I'm going to keep going and not give up no matter what!! I found a WW close to my parents house to go weigh in on Monday and brought my WW handouts they gave me to reread while I'm here to help motivate me. And I have a pool right out back so I have a good workout just a few feet away. I hope everyone is doing well. I'll check back later.
