Good morning! Just saying hi. :wave:

Mary, you are right. I need to be coming here alot more!

I'm glad to hear everyone is having mostly the same thoughts as I am about counting cals. Yeah, I can't be trusted long either. Have any of you ever wondered about this? What if there was no perfect weight and each person ended up about the weight that they are sposed to be either 230 or 180 or 115 or 165 or even 275?? What if we are all trying so hard to do what books say we need to do? It's like fighting against a current. Your body wantssss to be at that weight and we may never really reset our setpoint. Your body may be craving bad foods because it wants to be heavier. You think it can be true? That each body, even if it's bad for it, wants something and will do what it needs to to get it? It's sooo frustrating. :tantrum:

What do you think?? Back in the 1600s bigger women meant they had more money and more value because food was so scarce. No one wanted a bony wench!! Aaarghhh!!! LOL! :lol:

Well gotta run, that was just some food for thought. :)

Hugs!
Selina :hug:

Oh! And thank you for the congrats on the 62 lbs lost. But that's over like 5 years and should be even better and actually has been in the last 5 yrs. Got down to 194 but I have emotional issues about being under 200 so I never stay under long at all. So we'll see what happens this spring when I am hoping to be around 202. The next step will require some soul-searching first. :)

Ok, on to the next! Paperwork and housework! Then football at 2 then birthday party at 4 and home to cook dinner after that!

Bye for now!
Selina :hug:

Hi blue team! 1 more day left till our official weigh in on monday! hope everyone has a great sunday :)

Bigmid- thanks so much !!! :) so nice ofyou to say about my 160s and heart rate monitor.
well done on your 2lbs loss at WW

hope you feel better soon :hug:

Thanks Alwe! definately will let you know :)

Karen - good on ya for getting back on track!

Selina- that is an interesting concept! but i think that the body WANTS to be healthy, its our minds and hormones that kinda fight against it!

i think some people just have to work harder at keeping their "healthy" weight. bad luck of the draw! maybe its origin is in our genes.

i really believe its all down to our own specific body chemistry, like some people may suffer from an ailment- some people will just struggle with keeping their weight at a healthy range. of course every "body" will find its own personal ideal weight that the body is comfortable with.

someone asked about next weeks challenge (sorry forgot who it was!). does anyone have any ideas for next weeks? i have a friend on the red team and she mentioned how they have a challenge - i think to do a certain number of minutes of exercise and if they get it they get badges! i want a badge lol :dance: can we have something like that? no idea how they do badges

Hey girls,

Still here... too busy to keep up on the thread.... but at least posted a loss this week.

5 birthdays in November (DSS is today), getting married on Thursday, and trying to figure out how to make 2 invites for Thanksgiving. Bootcamp is still going strong, work is crazy, and we just hired 2 employees last week for our home business. I am ready to crawl into a corner and hide.

I hope you all are doing well and MAYBE I can get back here before January! :)

Have a great Sunday.

Wow that is so exciting, Diva! Congratulations!

Just got back from all day at Dewberry Farm in Brookshire, TX, look it up online, sooo cute! Tons of fun stuff for the kids, too fun, no one wanted to leave, we were almost last to leave at dark! LOL. But hope to have used up some major cals out there. And still don't have my taste right after my tonsil surgery so I had a few bites out there and that was it. I'm not gonna go into other thread and post my weight unless it would help you all. Will it count toward Blue team's total even if I'm not in the challenge to win anymore?? I will just tell you all here in the morning what I weigh after I weigh unless it can help then I'll go post. Someone tell me by tomorrow and I'll go put it in, hopefully I have a loss! LOL. We'll see. I should but you never know! :sumo:

Ok, nite, soooo tired!!

Hugs, Selina :hug:

I'm prob going to have a good weigh in tomorrow! After a couple of weeks of "freebies" since I was lacking motivation :d:)

Diva - congrats on the house! I'm hoping to buy one next summer, if I can afford it !

Congrats Diva!!!!!!!!! You deserve it!!:carrot::carrot:

Best Wishes for Thursday, hope your day is wonderful-

That is so exciting!! :carrot:

just wanted to pop in and say Hi, and hope all is well with everyone! well not much time for personals, but I do want to say Hi and wish a great week everyone

Thanks, Institches, Mercy, & Somni and everyone! I am beyond excited and can barely sleep from it! LOL! All I think about is how I will decorate it, how I want to landscape that HUGE back yard....So many thoughts & ideas and of course freaking out over our rent turning into a mortgage and tripling & HAVING to get a job now after 8 yrs of being a SAHM. Hoping someone will hire me. I dunno why peeps think, oh you are a SAHM, must mean you are stupid and can't do anything...Um HELLO! I managed a house, I was a driver, a bookkeeper, a maid, and um raising a teenager WELL certainly is not for dummies! But whateve...I am sure I can get my foot in the door someplace. All the retail places are hiring Christmas help at least right??? BTW still planning on doing the online school too, but that doesn't start until January. So my life is about to completely change.

My mind is completely racing and it won't stop LOL!

I don't have much time this morning, I have some errands and I will talk to you later, but, PRESIDENT OBAMA JUST EXTENDED THE 8000.00 TAX CREDIT UNTIL JUNE, SO YOU ARE IN LUCK!

LUCKY YOU, THINGS ARE CHANGING FOR THE BETTER.

See new thread.
