Hello everyone. Had my WW weigh in today -- lost 1.8 ponds, I'm down 28 lbs -- I hope to drop that "last" two by next week's weigh in -- then I would be 30 down 70 to go :dizzy:!! I think it's time to get back into my nightly exercise.
Hope everyone is having a great day -- kind of hot here, but our pool should be in tomorrow :D |

Roni - good for you for working out with music! Music is a must have for me!
Shelby - Way to go!! You're doing awesome and with exercise - girl you'll be a skinny minny in no time! Danielle - thanks. I'm nervous about pics because I honestly don't see a difference in myself other then my clothes being a bit baggy. We'll see what next week's weigh-in brings ;-) |
Well, the scenery was still very nice. ;)
Have y'all read this? Check out the name of the chick who wrote it, hehe! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25464987/ |
Hi ladies! I got the hotel internet working. Yea! I got out of my meeting and walked around the mall for a couple of hours and still got back to the hotel at about the same time I would have if I'd gone to my night job. I didn't find anything to buy which probably isn't a bad thing. I ate horribly. When I got back to the hotel I walked on the treadmill for a very short while. I've never walked on a treadmill before. I couldn't really walk on it going too slow and got really winded when I was walking faster. Oh well. It was something. I'm going to relax tonight and try to enjoy my slow evening. I'm tired because it seems I can't ever sleep well in a hotel room.
Stacy - congrats on the tickets! Roni - I've had a similar problem with my iPod. Once you said how to reset it, I remembered that's what I had to do. I'd be willing to bet that the next time mine needs reset, I'll forget that I can do that and throw a hissy fit! :) Have a great evening and I'll talk to you all later! |
Hi all - a quick fly-by tonight. No time for personals. I love the story on NY's new calorie posting law. I WISH they would do it more places. Eating out is always a mine field when it comes to staying on plan. And - I have to eat out way more than I would like for work.
I hope everyone had a good day - let's stay strong the rest of this week and ROCK the challenge with our weigh-in on Monday! :) |
Danielle -- Unfortunately, I won't be hitting my challenge goal -- I'm down 28 from when I started in March but have barely made it 1/2 to my challenge goal of 30 -- but that's okay -- any loss is better than a gain :). Besides, I always seem to be on a "challenge high" when I set my goals but knowing myself the way I do, I should think small!!
I found some old pictures of me from when I was dating my husband today -- kind of depressing. I don't know what is worse, seeing myself 100 lbs thinner or 14 years younger!! Hope everyone had a good day and gets lots of rest to start tomorrow!! |
Hi :wave:
Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I'm having alot of Family problems right now. I just got into a huge fight with my Mom and Sister. My Sister gave her kids away to their step grandmother back in April. She never told me or anyone else that she was doing it...she just did it. I've been trying for months to get them down here to visit (the step grandmother is a real you know what). Their finally here (as you know) and now they don't want to go back. They've been upset for days because they don't want to go back. They want to stay here with their mom and the rest of us. So I told my sister this and I brought them by my mom's house so that they could talk to the kids. My mom and sister had the girls call Their grandmother to tell her. Well she bribed them with activities telling them if they come back she'll enroll them in karate and horse back riding. She's on welfare and gets money from the state for each kid and thats all she cares about. She doesn't care about them. Now they want to go back. I'm so mad! My sister is so selfish. She wants a party life and doesn't want the responsibility of raising her kids. I think it's bull!!! Me and the rest of the family has offered to help her but she still insists on sending them away. I'm so upset right now :( I'm so sorry for not getting to do personals tonight. I'm just really upset and I needed a place to go to...so thanks for being here :hug: |
Hi Ladies,
Just a quick post...I have seen people talking about their challenge goals...i might be able to make mine. but i still have 5.5 pounds left to lose...which isn't sooo... much...but it is 5 pounds... is anyone else buckling down for these last few weeks of our challenge? |
Lonnie - I'm so sorry, what a difficult situation for you and the kids.
Chickichiki- I have 10.4 to lose to be under 200 at the end to meet my goal. The goal was a bit lofty to be honest. Like Shelby said I think I hit a "challenge" high. I've lost almost 25lbs on this challenge so in my head as long as I lose 5 more I'm okay with it. |
Lonnie -- I'm so sorry -- it must be very difficult knowing the kids are going back to somewhere unhealthy for them. Unfortunately, it is up to your sister. I've always wondered why you need a license to drive a car or most times to have a dog -- but anyone can have a baby!!
My sister had a baby (on my birthday) and gave him up for adoption when I was 15 -- my family was not aware of this until a few years later. I have been looking for him ever since :( The best you can do it be supportive, visit the kids as much as you can and unfortunately be pleasant to that evil woman who has them -- in order to be able to stay in touch. I did this for years with my sister -- to be able to be in touch with my nephew and help him whenever I can (I moved from NY to WI for three years to take care of him) and, when he moved out -- that's when I ended all contact with her. Everyone else -- hope you are doing well -- how many of you think you will make your challenge goal??? |
I've got 10 lbs more to go to make my challenge goal. I honestly don't see that happening, as I'm not going to starve myself, or kill myself with exercise just to reach an arbitrary goal that I created out of thin air. I've lost 15lbs on this challenge, and hope to lose a bit more, and I'm happy with that (although, if I do happen to make it to 25lbs I'll filp out!!)
|
Lonnie :hug: So sorry you are stressed and worried. I think it's best to do what Shelby said, and just try your best to be civil with that woman so that you can remain in their lives. Hang in there girly.
Karen, I am just the opposite of you. I sleep like a baby in hotels lol! That's funny about you & the treadmill. I don't go very fast on mine (well, my fav one at the GYM). That new interval workout has me going from 3.0, 3.2, to 4.0, 4.5 and then finally 5.0 which is the fastest I have ever gone and it kicks my behind. My friend @ the GYM walks a very fast 4.6 on hers, but she's way taller than me. My short little legs have to run once it gets to 4.0. It also does inclines, which is new to me. At one point, right after the minute of running on 5.0, I bump the speed down to 3.0 but the incline goes to 8% and OMG! I don't think I am going to make it through that minute, but I do. Thank goodness that's the last really tough on and cool down is right around the corner. All I know is I BETTER see a loss after doing that workout this week. It only takes 32 minutes, and I was used to doing an hour, but oh my goodness, it's tough! I don't think I am going to make my challenge goal. Since we had 3 extra weeks I thought maybe I could lose 20, but it ain't gonna happpen. I've only lose 4 or 5 and I just keep yo-yo'ing with that. Tis okay though...I'll be very happy if I can just lose 10 and be out of the 190's. :D I had a good OP day yesterday. No binging. I have had a VERY hard time controlling myself the past 3 weeks, but I am just taking it one day at a time. Hoping for another one today. I have a good plan, lets hope I can stick with it. I had a hard time sleeping last night and when I did I dreamed about snakes & spiders, so I am on about 4 or 5 hours here, which is NOT good, because it makes me wanna eat more. I think I see a nap in my future today. |
Good Morning Sunshines!!! Well I got my girls home safe and sound, they were exhausted. A week of nothing but fun and sun! My oldest should get her braces off this morning.
Shelby...way to go on the loss!! You are just doing so fantastic! Keep up the good work! Danielle...when do we get word on those new measurements! I'm anxious to hear how much progress you've made with all this gym time. New job yet? Heather...oh I cant wait to see pics!! Roni...I saw that article on the front page of msn yesterday LOL...I didnt read it just because I feel like seriously if you arent calorie conscious yet...where have ya been in a hole? LOL! It is interesting a few restraunts Red Robin in particular refuse to share nutritional info. Sounds to me like someone's got something to hide! I'm so proud of you for turning around the binging situation!!! Keep that power woman!! You can do this! You are worth it! Karen....I'm a dope, I didnt even know you were gonna be gone! No wonder we havent seen you around to chat! I hope you had a nice relaxing evening!! I'm looking forward to one of those tonight! Counting...so great to see you!! I just had to tell you that I think of your success often lately, especially the timeline of your pictures and its really inspired me to try to make better choices! Lonnie...I'm so sorry hun. Are you feeling any better today? I hope so. Is there any way to get family services involved? or is the mothers word the last word? Such an awful situation. Dont worry about your sister though, just focus on the kids and what is best for them. We are here for ya when you need us! chicki...5 more lbs!! You can do it!!! Monte...you are doing fantastic!!! I think you are right, you need to be realistic in your goals...and lord knows...no killing yourself to meet them! LOL! Have a wonderful day everyone!!! |
