That's excellent Dee! :congrat:
Weekends are my downfall. We do a lot of family things, which can include a hike in the woods, etc. but with the heat in GA this time of year, we do more indoor stuff and not much physical which can lead to snacking badly :corn: Today I'm hoping to do a nice hike walking around the mall. :p Here's to everyone having a great weekend! ~Suzie :cheer3: :goodluck: everyone! :cheer3: http://www.3fatchicks.net/img/bar-da...2/140/200/.png |
Go Dix!
My weight sucks. But I do have a NSV for this morning. I ran my first ever race. It was a 6k. I was going to be pleased with anything under 50 mins. I finished in approx 45:15 which is my best pace time EVER! It was starting to rain and I was cold and tired so I won't know my official results until the paper comes out on Thursday. I'm pleased though. :) |
Mia...
Heya bombshells.
So glad to still see a core group of you here. I am afraid my world has gone haywire. And the scale shows it. I missed the last weigh in (and maybe even the one before that) and I know I am officially out of the contest, but I look forward to starting with a new zest if SOMEONE decides to get it going again with the show. Quick update ~ lots of stuff on our plates ~ our businesses are booming with work, but slow to pay. Always rough starting out (I'm sure soon2b gets it!). I have put out applications for 2 jobs. I have been with the City I work for, for 10 years, but its time to push myself again. Its nerve racking and I just want to be good enough to pull off a great interview. It my weak point. My work ethic speaks for itself if I can get in the door somewhere else! Most exciting... my property burnt last thursday. MY HOUSE WAS SAVED THANKS TO GOD AND CALIFORNIA FIRE! But its been a hard weekend working and trying to get things back together. So... not to make this a "hey check my hectic life out" moment... but I thought I'd share. Feel bad for not being here like I was supposed to. Just wanted to let you all know I am still reading the thread when I have 2 seconds and I am always hoping you all are doing fabulous! GO BLUE! |

It looks like it's going to be a crazy week around here chickies! Remember that next weeks weigh-in summary won't be posted until the 20th.
zinke - congrats on your race time! :bravo: Nixmom- I'm glad your house is okay and that no one was hurt. :hug: Sounds like you're as busy this summer as I feel. :D Suzie - I'm envious of your family hikes. When I suggest something like that I get laughed at or ignored. Selina - Hope you hear something soon about the babies. :hug: Everyone else :wave: (Gotta go to a meeting, no more time for personals) |
Good morning all!
Well I'm on week 3 of a delightful plateau. I knew this was coming, and at least it's not gaining! Just going to keep plugging away, tweaking things here and there, until I see some progress again. We're going to start working with a trainer in the next couple weeks, so hopefully that will have me losing inches and gaining strength, if nothing else! Quote:

I took some progress pictures this morning, and my photography skills with a self timer really stink. But it says something about how far I've come in my confidence that the picture I like the best out of the group is from behind. :D

Looking good Dix!
Tonight's my first night working with the trainer... scary! Wish me luck :) |
I guess I'm out of the challenge as I've missed 3 weigh ins. My mother passed away on Monday and I couldn't weigh in. I'm very sad right now and really need a few weeks to get back to eating correctly. I've signed up for September so hopefully I'll be able to finish that challenge.

:hug: retiredone. I am so sorry for your loss. :(
|
retiredone - :hug: I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you can come to us all for support anytime!
As for me - just got home from the gym, first session with our new trainer. FH is there for his session right now. It was hard but awesome - I am super excited to get strong again! It was also a bit embarrassing though, because it really showed me how weak I've become. Onwards and upwards! |
retiredone-so very sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom, you take care.
|
Well I miss 3 weigh ins so I am out of the comp. We left for vacation on Sunday and I meant to post before I left but I forgot. :mad: Anyway we had a wonderful time and I am already signed up for September. Keep up the good fight, girls!!!!

Hi Bombshells...
retiredone.. my thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep your heart open to celebrating her life! :hug: Thanks to you all for your kind comments about my house not burning down. It was quite an adventure and reminds me that someone bigger than me is in control! Speaking of control, yay for you girls hitting the gym, remembering to weigh in and busting out the last of summer challenge. I see that a few of you have mentioned signing up for the September challenge. I need to go do that right now because..... I, actually, am out of control. I weighed in at 210 again this morning. My scale has gone the wrong direction the last 2 months. It's horrid. I am disgusted but no discouraged. I just have tune in, tone it down, and take it a decision at time. I'm gonna go sign up for the blue team right now! |
Nixmom-You Can Do It!!! Did you sign up yet??

I can't remember last weigh in so dunno if I'm still in the challenge but just trying to stop in to say hi. And so sorry to hear about your mom passing, Retiredone. Big hugs to you. I know there isn't much we can say but I'm praying for you and your family.
Dixie, great behind pic! I'd love to look that good from behind. :) Hi to everyone. Been having CPS trainings, still waiting to hear when our boys are coming. Going crazy of course. Getting kids ready to go bk to school, and gotta register our new exchange student in high school. He is a sweety, very good with the kids and baby. Wants more than 5 kids when he grows up! Wants to be a doctor like both his parents. He'll be a good one too. :) Also, my doc called me about my levels after she had me do more blood work.. added more Cytomel to my Synthroid for low thyroid and I notice I don't crave sweets as bad, weird. Hoping this can help. Are we signing up for Sept now?? I need to do that!! Meadow is crying so gotta go, hugs to each of you, chat more later! Selina :hug: |

I'm back in town and I'm not leaving again until the holidays, so maybe I can keep up now. :D |
Hey everybody...just stopping by to say hello. Been with my mom after her double knee surgery yesterday. Slept at the hospital last night and will again tonight. Then will go home tomorrow evening so that I can get my 2 oldest kids off to college Thursday (DS) and Saturday (DD).
Very tired and VERY off plan. Eating has been not so good and exercise has been nil although I am taking the stairs whenever possible. I have not exercised since Friday morning except for a half hour on an ancient treadmill...didn't even have a cup holder for my bottle. No time for personals...don't even have time to check the pages of posts on all the threads I follow. I do hope EVERYBODY is doing great!!! Joci |
Hi old friends!
I'm still weighing in (though not proud--been plateauing for 6 weeks now... seriously, same weight, every week, maybe up a hair but never below 151 lbs) but haven't been to talkative. I want to get back into the boards and maybe that will help my weight loss. I hope at least! Anyways, I just got back from a 10-day trip to Japan. I was so convinced I would break my plateau since I would be walking a lot and I'm not a huge Japanese food fan. WELL, I ate worse than I thought but I still walked a ton... and came home to weigh the exact same thing as I did when I left! UGH! The trip was good but I'm back and feeling stressed. I move away from Korea in 10 days, go home to the US for a month and then I move to Australia for 8 months. My work schedule is light so I'm trying to work out a lot but I also have to pack up my life (been here a year) and clean out my apartment and say good-bye to friends. We only have a couple more weigh-ins and I'm a little disappointed I didn't lose more. I've lost 22 lbs since coming to Korea a year ago and I'd love to shave off 3 more lbs before I get home to make it 25 lbs gone in a year... but I haven't lost a new lb since the first week of July so...??? I'll keep working out and eating well and see what my body decides. |
Hi everyone!
I've been rather busy lately, but it looks that way all around. :) joyra- good to hear from you again! Hope your move goes smoothly! joci- my mother is in desperate need of a double knee replacement, but basically refuses. She thinks they'll be worse afterwards...so I'll be curious to how your mom progresses. Sounds like you are very busy with this and sending the kids off to school! good luck! Dee- glad you're back! Holidays.....It'll be Halloween before you know it! I can't believe how fast 2009 has been. I had my teeth cleaned on thursday and saw the appt card with Feb. 2010 on it and just shook my head... We went for a hike at the park this morning. My son had to count frogs for school and we counted 16. :D I hope everyone is having a great weekend! ~Suzie :cheer3: :goodluck: everyone! :cheer3: http://www.3fatchicks.net/img/bar-da...2/140/195/.png |
Was just looking at the weigh-in results...for me to come in as a runner up for losing just .8, that's just sad, lol. This is turning into an Agatha Christie mystery...and then there were nine (of us)....:p. Oh, well, now TOM's here so this may be a freebie for me this week.
I wanted to do better in this challenge, too, and I was doing better with the exercising at first but then I got sidelined with getting sick for the summer. But...I'm up for the next challenge and I've been learning some stuff, too, that will hopefully help me improve my workouts. :) But I said at the start of the challenge that, at the very least, I wanted to weigh less when I finished than when I started and I will have managed that! :^: |
Everyone must be very busy, but just wanted to say Hi, and hope all is well. Having some trouble staying OP, but my exercise is great. I just think I'm kinda burnt out, tired of trying to be good!! :dizzy: I think maybe I need some new recipes to motivate me again, or a swift kick in the butt :o
Hope everyone has a great Sunday, and a wonderful week |
I know what you mean Ellie, I didn't make my goal of 20 lbs for this challenge, but did lose so that's a good thing. :)
Hope you are feeling better from being sick for the summer! Institches- If you find any good new motivation, let me know! I'm trying to rekindle the motivaton myself. Maybe the new season of the biggest loser starting soon will help. I'm excited for the next challenge already and hope to see a lot of you! Have a great week everyone! See you tomorrow for the weigh in! ;) ~Suzie :cheer3: :goodluck: everyone! :cheer3: http://www.3fatchicks.net/img/bar-da...2/140/195/.png |
