Hi! I'm OP but think I'm about to start because my weight is still not back down. Uggh! :yikes:

I exercised for about 40 mins while watch TBL this morning. I feel good too!! Woohoo!!! :woohoo:

I am also making sure to drink more water. I hope it helps. I'm so bloated! :(

Ok, gotta run, hugsssssssssss Selina :hug:

I am teetering on the onederland fence too. You're not alone. Just keep LEANING towards that lower side. Soon we will be in the middle of the yard, not on the fence!

Okay woman ~ consider yourself partnered! I will be hitting this thread at lunch every day. I expect at least to see your name somewhere! Hope your day slowed down a bit. Signed... I hate mornings too. :0)

Cake you say? I have this cake I baked sunday that has been my arch nemesis for three days now. Last night hubby snoring woke me up at midnight and I headed straight for some midnight cake eating. I'm throwing it out tonight after I get home~

I agree. 100%. She's a fraud.

Okay chicks. Scale was down a bit today - even after cake - and I am geared up to hit class tonight. Lets do the dang thing!

Hey Angela, did you say how many members we've lost yet? I'm curious to see. I could sound more positive I suppose, Like, How many of us wonderful bluezers are still here and going strong?? :strong:

ok... next goal is 189. I would LOVE to hit that in one month. Will hafta step up my game for sure, more water, more veggies, more exercise but it CAN be done!!!! :strong: And then I wanna take a new pic especially for the site. :belly:

Have a great nite ladiessss!!

Hugs, Selina :hug:

Hello everyone:D I have been really busy lately, sorry no personals, but I am really proud of everyone and their accomplishments. Unlike the RED TEAM on BL, we are a genuinely a good group of people who are doing their best.:D

Good evening blue team!

I am doing good. Still OP, but am dedicated to eating more fresh fruit and veggies! I bought a bunch of 100 calorie snack foods to keep around "in case of emergencies" but they've been sneaking into my diet, so I want to get back into eating fruit/veggies/cheese/nuts for snacks.

Howdy chicas! I hope you all are doing wonderful!

I'm not quitting the challenge, but I'll probably be MIA on the chat for a while. The drama train has entered the station, and that's about all I can say about that for now. I'll fill you all in when I can. Just pray for my sanity.

Love you guys!!!

I hope it's not because of any of my posts.....?? I do use this thread sometimes to vent and most of the time I feel bad about it but it makes me feel better having people who understand.

:cheer2: :cheer3: Congrats weebles, Nella,Turning30 and shoupfamily!!! :cheer2: :cheer3:

Oh man, I was just coming on here to vent about my week too! I hope that isn't why Nella's leaving us for a bit...

So when I last posted, I was really happy about the way things were going. Mostly about the potential interview I had lined up. Wellllll, one of my bosses (process of elimination) decided to tell the potential boss (when he called them) that I wasn't really done yet with my grad thesis and so I wouldn't be ready for a postdoc. Right. Thanks, dude. After EVERYTHING I did for you - trained people, showed up to lab EVERYDAY for 12 hours, helping you with your grants, working on two projects for YOU all the while hoping that this would leave you with a good impression of me so that you could convince potential bosses to hire me. The ONE thing I wanted from you and you threw me under a bus. Nice. The reason he thinks I'm not done is because I'm working on a second paper with him that we will be submitting within the next couple of weeks. I won't be doing any more experiments for it - it's an issue of "can't" not "won't". I can't believe he did this to me. I'm SO angry! :mad: I decided to take that anger and focus it on other things, like my workouts. Haha.

So I've been on plan so far even with snacks in the house. I went for a 4.5 mile walk yesterday. I felt really good after my walk - listened to some music that got my heart rate up! Plus, it was beautiful out, so I was happy. I accidentally left my baby bell pepper plants outside a couple of nights and they were wilted when I brought them back in yesterday. I was so depressed! Today they're unwilting (it's a word, heh ;)) and getting back to where they were. Whew! Close call. I've been growing them since Sept and according to this gardening website, they should be ready to give me peppers sometime in April. I'm so close so I don't want them to die on me...

Ok, that's it for me. One of my goals this week is to log in here more often. I was addicted to these forums last Challenge. I wonder what's wrong with me now...

Hope you all have a fabulous Thursday!! :hug:

Quicky before work!!! Oh my do my muscles hurt from doing the firm wave yesterday and today. AHHHHH! Got up bright and early to get it done before work. I'm hoping I don't retain for the weigh in due to super sore muscles.

have a great day!

No, no, no!!!! It's personal drama!!!! You ladies are great!!!!

I just can't really post any details because a certain someone likes to stalk me and my DH online. I swear you guys are fine!!! Vent away!!!! Please!!!

But, I FINALLY made it to the 150's this morning. 159.2, and it's TOM, so I'm super psyched. With all the added drama and stress going on right now, I have skipped 2 days at the gym, and I was sure there was going to be an ugly gain. But then a happy, happy surprise this morning to make me feel better for about 5 minutes, then I went back into my dramatic reality :( I'm trying so hard to stay focused and positive, but there is a certain thorn *ahem - person* in mine and DH's side that just keeps digging in deeper. This thorn refuses to leave us alone, and keeps trying to pull ridiculous stunts and turn our life upside down.

There's a reason I don't like roses, it's because they have thorns. I don't like thorns.

I wouldn't take her comment personally, I think she has other issues going on right now.:)

We posted at the same time lol

Nella! Awesome on your weightloss, and that you have managed to do that with the stress and tom, it's truly amazing. Stress usually makes us retain water:D.

Try to stay focused and positive and you say, I can't tell you that your "drama" will get better, but you have a choice in how you handle it and I think so far you have been doing great!:)

You will be missed(by me) and others as well as you are so positive and understanding.

Don't stay away too long:)

Ok! I just wanted to make sure.

We'll all be riding the cotton pony with you soon! Congrats on the 150's!

Thanks ya'll!!! :hug: I'm ready for this cotton pony to head on to greener pastures, lol.

I'll probably check in most days, might just not have time for many personals. I have a moments break because the boss is out of the office right now, lol.

Congrtaz on the weightloss gf and I hope this certain thorn will go get a life soon and leave yours alone.

Have a great weekend all. I've dropped out due to some personal issues of my own and I find that I actually do better when I am not focusing so much on the scale. I will be checking in and keeping in touch though.

love you gals. :hug:
