haven't had time to workout lately, been too busy working on hubby's fleece quilt to send him. trying to get it sent soon so it gets to him before the stop mail deadline (they stop mail appx 1 month before they head home, so they can have their stuff packed and on its way back home)
So have been super busy working on that. finished the top today going to put the back together tomorrow when i wake up. and hope to get it mailed sometime on Monday.
i'm tired, but glad the site is back up and running... once i'm done with hubby's football quilt, i will have lots of house to clean - the kids have been busy destroying it and making big messes - but i dont have a deadline on that like i do with beating the mail stop :0 lol oh well, i'll burn extra calories on that when i'm doing the heavy cleaning. lol
here are the pics of the quilt front from earlier today....i've put a black border around the edges. i'll start on the back part (which will be a golden yellow and black squares) once i wake up in a few hours. lol
Oh good, it wasn't just me. Even though I'm not a regular poster, I do lurk on the boards and read people's posts. It was killing me too not to be able to do that!!
I'm finally staying in the 154s. I got back into walking and starting counting calories again. I remember around the 160 point, this started happening to me where I bounced between 161 and 162 but never going below 161. Then I realized that I was taking it easy and not paying attention to my portions or the kinds of foods I was eating. Well, what do you know? It's happening again. Yesterday, I ate out for lunch and dinner but controlled portions. I'm up 0.3 lbs this morning from yesterday but that's ok by me. Normal fluctuations. I know I'm getting closer to my goal weight because any loss I've had has been in the 0.Xs. Hmm. I did walk 5 miles the day before yesterday and 3.25 miles yesterday. Went shopping and tried on a pair of sz 8 black pants that fit perfectly. Last night went shopping for hubby and tried on sz 10 jeans and found that they were snug. I was hoping to be a snug 8. Why are jeans always a size up from dress pants or is it just with me? I fit into sz 8 black dress pants I tried on, but the stupid jeans are tiny at a sz 8. Grrrr.... I guess that's a goal I need to work on.
How's everybody doing? Armywife - love that quilt! I wish I had sewing talent; I'd make myself dresses and shirts that complement my body instead of being a slave to the department stores.
thanks Sunni I'm not good at making clothes I hope to eventually learn how. My mom and aunt are great at making clothes - maybe I'll get a chance to learn how to make clothes when I'm home in GA long enough to get some lessons lol for now, I'm making quilts, a dog bed, and curtains and other stuff ppl dont wear. LOL
Hey all! I weighed in today with a decent 1.2 pound loss. I've nearly hit my initial goal, but plan to continue losing as I decrease my body fat to more healthy percentage. Unfortunately, I overate at lunch today which I'm not sure why I did it. We ate out and I wanted somehting I hadn't had for awhile. We ended up at a small breakfast buffet and I did NOT stop when my body told me to. UGH!!! I'm mad at myself for doing it. I hadn't been off plan for quite while, so I was feeling great about that, but it just goes to show I'm still a work in progress. Now it's a light healthy supper for me and LOTS of water to flush me out!! Have a great rest of the weekend girls!
Hey all..did much better this week with a 4.5 pound loss instead of only 1 pound like last week. (Amazing how you can actually lose weight when you don't stuff your face full with Halloween candy for 4 days straight, lol). Anyways, I was just wondering if I am missing it, but is there another place with the week's weigh in results and winners besides the main thread that hasn't been updated for weeks?

I have been posting them in the chat threads. Dixied has not been around much, and I don't have admin access. As a matter of fact, I need to make sure Blue Team got their numbers posted.........
Hello everyone! I've missed being on here for the past 3 days. The site must have been down or something. Here' s what you've missed going on in my life:
1) Have a 3 day vacation this week because an elementary school cancelled because of swine flu.
2) I've been dating a wonderful Korean man for 2 weeks now. Things are going amazingly well.
3) I hiked a HUGE, and I do mean HUGE mountain yesterday morning.
4) I weighed in this morning with a..............6lbs loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOHOO! Only 20 more pounds to go to make my new year's eve challenge! Hope everyone is doing great.
I've finished putting the strips together for the back panel of hubby's quilt. gonna make the kids some pasta (that's what they want for dinner) and then put them to bed so i can sew the strips together so i have one big panel :0 then tomorrow can start on putting the three layers together and quilting it depending on how tomorrow goes, I hope to get it done tomorrow, or tuesday at the latest
I weighed in at 150 this morning...cant seem to get out of the 150s right now. but hopefully once this quilt is done, i can resume a life again...lol....and get back to my workouts - after i clean the disaster known as my house lol
Hi everyone! I spent the last three days at the hospital with my hubby....he had surgery to repair six hernias....he's at home doing well now, and I'm trying to recover from 3 days of eating whatever was easily available (as opposed to eating what was on plan). Sticking to the plan well today so I feel like I'm getting back on track. I haven't been doing so well in the exercise department....my goal for the coming week will be 5 days x 45 mins. on the treadmill, and to log my food and exercise daily in the accountability thread.
Weighed the same this week as last week.....not complaining, with all the crap I ate while hubby was in the hospital earlier in the week it could have been much, much worse!
I must say sorry to the red team I have only lost 2 pounds this entire challenge. I am not complaining because I have not gained but the weight seems to just be holding on for dear life. I did rake the yard Saturday and Sunday and my arms are so sore so I hope maybe with hard work and exercise this week I can jump start a loss.
I went to my 2nd of 4 kids birthday parties and I did not eat any cake. I ate a little bit of chex mix but other than that no snacks. So I am doing great in the resisting temptation area. I have also been finding so recipies for thanksgiving that I think I can alter a little to make lower in calories.
This week I am concentrating on getting in my water everyday and getting some form of exercise whether it is yard work, a DVD or jogging.
Great job everyone on the weight loss, some big losers this week!!
I am down a little bit this week, which I'm happy about; it could have been a lot worse, it was a rough week foodwise. I'm so ready to get back on plan, and today is definitly my day.
I was hoping to be a snug 8. Why are jeans always a size up from dress pants or is it just with me? I fit into sz 8 black dress pants I tried on, but the stupid jeans are tiny at a sz 8. Grrrr.... I guess that's a goal I need to work on. 
girls!
