Hiya everyone~i have been enjoying my kids being at school all week so I have been lazy about posting~anyways I hope ya'll didn't miss me too much
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Alright It's alright!! hehehehe We still Adore ya! 157 is fabulous though ~I would so love to be there at that weight! So good Job.

My goal was for 179.8 at least ~to break into those 170's and hit 80 lbs lost~I did see 182.8 yesterday~but I doubt I make my goal either~but Its fun trying ~I have noticed the smaller you get the slower it seems to come off.....DANG IT.


Anyways jam~I am getting better with the ab slide...I have been using it for a little over a week now...And I think my tummy is starting to shrink some.
I hope anyways~Cause it was a "B" to start out with And still aint that pleasant. hahaha


David~Even if you don't reach your goal this challenge you have been doing super~I am very proud of you~WAY TO GO. And I am proud of all the others who are doing great!!!


BARB~ HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU ,THE HUBBY, & THOSE 2 precious boys!!!

EVERYONE ELSE Continue doing your best for the challenge~looks like everyone is doing great.

I will type again soon

im getting back into that "all or nothing " mode specifically on weekends...its so easy for me to overeat on saturdays and sundays...if ive got plans i use them as an excuse to go off plan...if i want to acheive longterm success i have to break this cycle...right now im kind of disappointed with myself...i know ill lose this weight eventually but i dont want to gain in back as soon as i lose it...i DID have a really nice weekend otherwise

[BarbPA]

Hi Gang!

Sorry I haven't been around much. Everything is great. Just busy...and a lil painful. I have something going on with my right wrist. It hurts periodically but I never thought much about it because it usually went away quickly. Well, it started hurting again the end of last week and it's worse than ever. I have no flexibility to move it up (like waving at someone) and if I move it certain ways I get shooting pains. I'm thinking a pinced nerve. I have an appt with a specialist on Thurs morning so we'll see.

In the meantime I need to put the ice back on it.

I just wanted to say HI!!!!

[Lori259]

HI BACK AT YA BARB!!
I hope all is ok with your wrist.
Let us know what the specialist says.
Lord Knows you need both those hands working to keep up with your precious little boys.

David~I totally agree with ya~break the cycle! It is "all or nothing"
Glad you had a nice weekend. Hope everything goes great for ya.



I had to place a new battery in my scale ~I was weighing 3 or 4 times a day!
LOL
Anyways, I am gonna start weighing every Sunday Morning Is my new plan unless I have a challenge to where I need to weigh a different day ever so often....I hope I can Because I am definetly a scale addict ~which is ok~but I hate to run the batteries low so quickly LOL!

Anyways~I am weighing on Sunday~Hopefully I will get some results.
I was thinking that if I did get to my 179 (which will more than likely be after labor day)
That I will be at 80 pounds lost & 29 to go ~which I knew but Also I will be just considered overweight at that number also...NO MORE OBESE!
So I am really wanting that number.

A super thing has been happening to me That I would like to share...I have been getting asked on how I lost my weight and people are guessing my weight ~like where I grocery shop at mainly ~And it's kinda exciting.
I have been being guessed at 150 and 155!!!! can y'all believe that?
I am getting guessed to be My goal weight!
I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Proud of where I am right now....After I get my tummy in a bit of better shape I may just maintain.
Even if it's before I reach 150.
I Like when I have some curves and I feel my only problem area to me is just my tummy~but my AB SLIDE FROM HECK is helping that problem. I have seen a change in my tummy within the last few days that is very noticeable.YEEEEHAW!
So That 3 minutes day is worth it.
So the ab slide gets to live.
hahahahaha
( Oh and I also tell them I count calories and how to go about doing it for those who ask how I have lost Here in my town I nearly forgot to add that part)

Hope all is well with everyone.
TAKE CARE

I did good on the weight goal, but not on the minutes of exercise goal. I think I was a bit ambitious in my goal, but at least I worked hard to get as close as I did.

So we have a couple more days to see if there are any last minute miracles for some of us! haha Good luck to everyone....can't wait to hear all about the results on Monday!

[david]

im finishing this challenge with a wimper, not a roar...been spinning my wheels the past couple of weeks and not moving the ticker...next challenge im going to focus on more productive weekends and more exercise

[jamsk8r]

Hey all. !

Sorry I haven't beena around...just crazy busy this week. Today is the last day of the craziness, I hope, then things should be calmer on the weekend. The good news is, the crazy busy has been paying jobs, so I can't complain about that! I made enough to pay the last bill I was behind on, plus the Sept bills are paid, I bought a new (but cheap) vacuum cleaner for the house (my old one kept breaking belts), and have money left for the rest of the month...woohoo!

Been working out 6 days a week at the gym, except this week is 7, because of volunteering at the cert last Sunday. I've been feeling good, though, and I asked for and got some practice and help on the olympic lifts this week, so I've been in weightlifting heaven this week! This morning before my workout, I went for an easy (pace) 2 mile run. It was sunny and not too hot, very pretty out. When I got almost back to the gym, I had to sprint, though, because the stinky awful garbage truck was coming up behind, and I did NOT want to get stuck trying to run behind that thing. Did that once and nearly died from the fumes, lol!

I don't think I will make my other LD goals either. I was at 163.6 this morning, and still haven't worked on my handstand kick-up at all. I'm okay with it, though. I tried my best with the weight loss bit, and did pretty well, considering I was at 171.2 on 4th of July! That's about 7.5 lbs, which is good for me, at this point in the game. The handstand, well, I will get it eventually, I know!

Okay, gotta run, peeps. I'll try to catch up with replies this weekend!

My miracle would be to get about 1000 min of exercise in....ya think I can do it by Monday....I think I was a bit too ambitious....

[Deana]

Hey all! I Just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS! to everyone whether we met our goal or not the most important thing is that we made progress and we are healthier today than we were when we first started. Have a safe and happy Labor Day!

[Alright]

I'm not posting anything until Monday morning when I officially weigh myself.

I just started a new 4 month challenge on another site I use. From one to another...a great way to go.

Good luck to all until Monday morning.
