edzard/Charlene~ Thanks! I'm scared of being able to maintain, but I'm determined (i.e. stubborn.)

Everyone have a great evening!

Hello everyone.. I'm new on here.. well, not really, It's just been a while... I just got married, just graduated college, starting a new job.. Basically all of my life changing events are happening now. So, I've decided to add another one to the pile.. Lose weight!! I lose weight easily however I always gain it right back. I don't maintain.. I am determined this time.. It is a fresh start for me. I'm going to count calories.. which has helped in the past and exercise 3-4 x a week.. or so my plan is. I can use all the help and support I can get. .. Thanks for listening! =)

hi, Girls
my numbers for monday
1306 cal
44 fiber
13 glasses of water.

Oh lord. I just wrote on of the longest posts ever. And then Safari decided to close. :mad:

Okay, I can't write a novel again, so here's a short story.

3 Teens in our area burned 2 dogs to death and got 2 months in the YDC. They were 13-14 years old.

I ate a 3 Musketeers bar this morning because it floated to the top of the ceiling and I had to get it down and get rid of it.

Tinky ~ It's always hot in GA, and I hate it. Moving to North GA this Fall should be better, right? And I see you live in Seattle. You probably get tons of rain. So lucky. :envy:

cablgurl/Nessy ~ :welcome3:

CraftyMommy ~ I :love: weddings! I haven't been to one in a while though. I think I was 10.

Lara ~ Driving tests? I didn't turn the right age to get my liscense until my Senior year. I just barely made it into my grade. (I think the cut off date was the day after my birthday.)

Well I'm gonna go clean the house and not eat it too.

BYE!

Hi all, I'm trying out a new calorie counting program this week. Last week I used CalorieKing, which I liked and this week I'm trying out MyFoodDiary.com. Anyone use that one? So far, I like it a lot. The recipe builder is a good feature that CK didn't have.

Edzard - We have almost the exact same stats and goals! I agree, this is a great place for encouragement and support!

I've upped my treadmill workouts to 40 minutes/day. 20 mins at 10% incline, 20 mins at 7% incline. Trying to keep the calories around 1500, but on some days, I get up to around 1600. Exercise makes me HUNGRY!

Anyway, just checking in on everyone! Have a good day...

Grammy~ Just a quick note since I should be working. Lol. Get yourself (and anyone who'll be near your ODD) some shampoo with tea tree oil in it. It repels them (the lice)! I don't think it'll help much now that she has them (or it might~don't know for sure.) If you can't find shampoo with it in it you can add some of the oil to your current shampoo. Just thought it might ease your mind a bit.

Good evening ladies


Hi,
welcome Neesy, You have found a wonderful place to get info. and a great place to chat with the girls
they are a great bunch. good luck with your new life. sounds very busy.

Charlene
I used to loose my post like that. and I started to use a word processor. like Works or Word. then I copy and paste. no more post that are not here.

Lara,
I hope all goes well with your hubby’s weight loss. That’s going to be a lot of thought and concentration for both of you.
But, at least you can eat the same healthy foods. unlike my hubby, who will not eat a salad with out a fight. I did get him to eat 2 salads this week!


CONGRATS on the 7 lbs. http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/gen129.gif

How long did that take. Not long I know. I better watch out. you will be passing me up soon. :D

Zenor,
I have to remember that Tea tree oil. I have a big phobia of Lice. Never had it. Just went crazy every time the kids came home and told me so and so at school had it. YUK!
I would definitely need a hair cut with that stuff.

well, I think my scale is broken. I hopped in this morning and I was down 2 full lbs! From 2 days ago. WTF? Musta been the KFC !! LOL
The weirdest part is although I feel like I've been eating more in the past few days, I just started religiously using mydailyplate and tracking..and I've been around 1400 for every day except one, at 1750 ..yep I was pretty snacky that day..lol
Hoping I'm not +6 tomorrow!! lol
Is there a way to link my daily plate to my profile like you do fitday? Just wondering, I wouldnt mind the added accountability factor.

ETA: just wanted to add that the bmr's have me at around 1550 for a basal rate..and I must move a little during the day, right? According to mydailyplate, if I eat 1400 cals a day, I can expect to lose 1.5 lbs a week..we shall see ..but if I go too low, I' might have a psychotic episode..:D

Hello everyone~
Welcome to all the new people!!

Well I actually did good over the weekend. Then yesterday and today have been the greatest. Alittle more than ususal. So tomorrow I am sticking back to what I was eating before. But hey gotta have a little bit of difference everyonce in awhile right?? Well I am feeling sick from having McDonald's at lunch (that was at 11:45 and it is now 7:30 and still feel sick) no wonder I stopped eating it. My stomach defiently can't handle it anymore. Well I think that I am going to bed early. Even though the kids want to go swimming they will either have to get DH to go out there or wait til tomorrow.
Mary

Weigh in went well, and I'm down another 2.5. :D My naked weight is 165! Only 5 more pounds until my next goal. I am just so amazed I am only 15 pounds from pre-third baby weight. I topped out at 230 when I went in to give birth, 80 pounds more than when I started. yikes!

Wow! what a bunch of loosers! ;) Really Congrats to all of you...

that is a grand total of....almost 400 pounds. Now just imagin...
if we added up the total losses of every person, man and woman at this web site. Wow.
Just imagin, how much lighter this old planet is now.

I know, silly useless info. but its a kick.
keep up the good work
everyone.

think we could get the moderators to have a link where everyone could put their number of pounds in and have a grand total?


And Yes, I really added those numbers, with mine.
Yes, I was bored and goofy. ;)

Welcome to all the newbies! :welcome2:

Littlered~ What a great idea! I would have never thought to add up all the weight lost.

Well, I'm still fighting this headache (allergies I think) so, I'm off to rest a bit. Everyone have a great evening!

Zenor ~ Thanks for the tip. DH is totally freaked and said when I pick up DGS (only has stubbles because DD keeps it short) that I am not to take his back pack, buy diapers for our house and his cloths and diaper come off before he enters the house. Cloths directly into the washer diaper, trash bin.

Has anyone heard of this, I hadn't. DD's friend said a beer poured thru your hair will sufficate and kill adult lice. Never heard of such a thing. They did get 5 adults off of her and to many eggs to count. I bought her spray for her house so she can do that.

Littlered ~ My DH actually likes salad and eats it during the week but flips his nose at it on the weekends. I bought those new salad kits that have the meat, cheese, croutons, and cheese. Told him they were in there but he chose to eat hotdogs and mac and cheese. I ate a salad. I don't know, his thought has always been he is going to eat what he wants on the weekends but we can't continue down this path any longer. His weight has ballooned to a dangerous level and me, I am just up and down the same 5 to 7 lbs.

As you can tell I weighed and lost 7 lbs before Friday. I would be right close again because the weekend bloat is somewhat gone. Not all the bloat because TOM is trying to start. GOODY! It has been three weeks since I started Curves. My official weigh in would be the 4th but I am sure they will be closed so I will go in on Tuesday the 3rd and ask them to do measurements and my weighin. I am excited, especially if I am good between now and then.

Well I better get going and get some work done around here. I have to go to my initial visit today about getting my wisedom teeth out. Mine is just a regular extraction because they are in but I am sick of the dentist complaining about them.
