Hi everyone. I'm still hanging in but put on a few pounds last week. I'm on a baking and cooking marathon for DS's wedding and have tasted way too much wedding food...sigh...Today I'm making decorations and thank goodness they're not edible. Less than 3 weeks to go for the wedding and so much more to do. I'll try and check in every now and again until I get my life back to normal. :D

Good Morning Ladies:)

This another gloomy:P day but tomorrow we're suppose to see the sun:sunny: shinning again. Another day on the bike but this time I'm going for the spin.Going to undo the tension button on the bike, to make it easier to get the results.

WHERE'S IS EVERY ONE.HAVEN'T SEEN THE REGULARSZ ON THIS CHAT IN WEEKS.That's the reason I haven't posted as I don't want to post to my self. The chat is going down and will disappear into page 2.


RETIRE-You'll get that off once the stress :stress:and tension of the wedding will be over.


Have agreat morning will check in this afternoon

Yeah, I don't know where everyone is. I will be out of touch (mostly) until Monday evening starting tomorrow. I'm going to Ky for a class reunion and I'm not sure how the internet is there yet.

I guess it's summertime and everyone is busy doing outdoor stuff. Unless everyone is busy doing weddings. :D

Good Morning Ladies:)

Looks like we are going to see the sun come out ,as it been a long time since that happened.WoW!!! what a difference my possitivity is coming back again don't feel any of the negativity around, like I did all those weeks. My weight is coming down again also,hope it stays that way until Monday's W-I.


MELWOLFE-Have safe trip and long with a great time at your class reunion.So we'll see you next week. Thanks for checking in.

RETIRE-I guess your right, must people in the summer time do spend there time out doors.I'm going to start now that the rain and gloomy weather is gone.

Can I join you?
I was doing weight watchers, but I cant afford it and thought the whole process of hard to follow. So I decided to just count calories.

I now weight 230 and that is the biggest I have ever been. I am tied all the time and depressed.

Well I was on my trip which got 1) insanely busy 2) I stopped logging so I just stopped coming here because it made me feel guilty. I was as good as I could be, but with so many people cooking for me it was hard.

All in all the trip was not all I had hoped it would be. I had fun, but the weather also made it really miserable and kept me from doing a lot. I feel kind of like I spent a lot of money we really couldn't afford and it wasn't worth it. :?:

Then on my way home I find out the little bit of work my husband had... well... he's been laid off completely. We only have health insurance till the end of the month and he is trying to get unemployment. :(

I got back yesterday, and am logging today and plan to workout tonight. I did some floor exercises while there, and burned OMG ONE THOUSAND CALORIES dancing. I definitely need to do that more often.

Anyway, I should be posting daily-ish again now I am home.

Oh yeah. I was going to wait but decided I needed to bite the bullet and KNOW so I weighed myself this morning and I was 146.6, about where I was when I left. The good news is, I also have TOM and I probably have bloat from being in a car for 2.5 days straight so maybe I am actually a bit below that? I also hope eating a bit more for nearly 2 weeks reset my metabolism somewhat so this last 10 pounds won't be as hard.


EDIT: So I just worked out for the first time in like 2 weeks. I really couldn't do it like I did before I left. Not as many reps and no way could I do the bike for as long. Not happy. Will have to work up to what I was doing before.

Good Morning Ladies:)

Sun is shinning again, so maybe we'll be able to get some walking done if the rain didn't leave to many puddles the walkways.

Just looking over my food & w-i journals and notice that I was 6 lbs lighter last Thanksgiving, than I'm now. That the time I was using the high fiber foods and recipes. I think I'm going back to look over the recipes that I used to cook. I think I was eating more filling foods that kept the snacking a bay.

IN DECEMBER-Welcome:welcome: to the board & chat. Some of the ladies that are here are either on vacation or too busy to post. I was a former WW member,but I thought counting calories was more accurate than the 50cal per point. All I can say is to go up to the sticky for FAQ and you find a starting range of calories that right for you.Than work on it from there.


PRINNY-Welcome:welcome: back to the chat.Sorry you had such terrible weather,and couldn't do much,but that's a great accomplishment to travel back & fort from coast to coast and still remain the same before you left. Sorry to hear about your DH being laid off ,my DS lost his job on a tv show last month. Things will work out for you,keep your chin:chin: up,things will turn around again in the near future.



Have a great weekend

This heat is killing me. I can't sleep and I have no idea how I am going to work out.

*dies*

Hello all! I'm back from Ky.! I had a great time. I have no idea what the weight is until tomorrow morning. I weighed the same this evening as I did the morning I left so in theory the weight should be down a little.

Will write more later!

I didn't weigh in this morning but I just checked my measurements and I am down half an inch on thighs, hips and (cry) chest and half an inch on my waist since the 9th. I am guessing that means my trip didn't mess me up too much. ;)

I am taking up doing my own yard work which I have NEVER done in my life. The change is partly due to not having money for a gardener anymore and partly because weed pulling burns 5 calories a min!!! I can only do like an hour at a time because of my allergies but I figure I can reclaim my yard in a month or two this way. It's way out of control since no one has touched it in a year. I was threatening to get a goat for a while.

Standard workout first though! Need to wait for the sun to go down before I go outside and do stuff.


edit: ARGH!!!! TDP IS DOWN!!! Even the phone app isn't working. THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*runs around in a panic*

Good Morning Ladies:)

The sun is shinning, & we're going for a walk and than to walmart for some of the trail sizes for our cruise in two weeks.

PRINNY-I can imagine what your going thought with this heat. Luckily the Cape isn't hot yet,but we'll see it shortly and we'll need the get the A/C in soon.BIG Congrats on your NSV,that great to see that that your losing in inches. Took mine yesterday and no change since this month.


MELWOLFE-Welcome back to the chat. Glad you had a great time,that all that matters. The scale,hopefully will be good to you. Sorry I haven't posted as it been very quite,don't know what happened to the others.

I weighed this morning and it was the same as last night but I was big time retaining water this morning so we'll see I guess. I didn't drink enough water while I was away or yesterday while on the road so we'll see once I'm back to my normal routine how it works out.

I'm just glad to be home. I had a great time but I missed my boys!

Good Morning all!

I just started Calorie counting yesterday. I hope it is ok to join you here!!

Im Karen, 42, mom to 2 (13 and 11) and wife to David. I have been on a roller coaster with my weight the last 6 years, and I am done. It is time to lose it and keep it off.

Its going to be a gorgeous day here in Seattle... The kids and I have to go to the dentist this morning, and then I have to run some errands, but I hope to enjoy a little of this weather!

Welcome Jovi! It's perfectly OK to join us. We will start a new thread tomorrow though JULY CALORIE COUNTERS so look for that one tomorrow. Whichever one of us signs on first should start it IMO.

I know what you mean exactly. I had my little epiphany in mid January and just decided to do it. So far so good.
