My WI went well this morning, down 2.2lbs...feels great! thats puts me at 179...bye,bye 180's....whoot,whoot! And 1lb past my goal for the month. yay!

Lori-your so close to the 160's...im sure it will be soon!

Cubbyphotographer-Congrats on your weightloss!!! yay

Jae165-Thats one of the things i love about this thread, all the positive posters...everyone is so determined and motivated,its helps for me to read it when i don't feel like working out,lol. Im crossing my fingers for you this week...

Congrats on all the weightloss so far,you guys ROCK! Have a wonderful weekend! DH is taking me to see New Moon tonight and out to dinner,i can't wait for some time away from the kids,lol.

I'm down another 2lbs this week. Not as big of a number as last week, but I also only made it to the gym one time last week. I'm really determined to hit my New Year's goal. So for this Thanksgiving challenge, I have lost 12 of the 13lbs goal I set. So I still have one more pound to go for this week. :)

misspriss~WOOOOOHOOOO!!! Congrads On the 170's!!! I am soooooo proud of you!!!!!


Shan AWESOME JOB GIRL! Your doing Fabulous!

I Am hoping for a good weigh in tommorrow.....WISH ME LUCK I WANNA SEE THOSE 160's soooooooo bad! I will have to see.

Good Monday Morning All !!!!

Well I went to a family brunch yesterday and I am happy to report I am actually down another 1/2lb this morning (216.5). I am proud of myself how I handled the event. Usually I am in a rush and want to eat and eat. But this time, I enjoyed the time with family I have not seen in a while. I waited and was the last one to make my plate. So while others were on there 2nd and 3rd I was just eating my first. :D I just kinda hung around till people started asking me was I going to eat, then I made a small plate when the crowd died down. Another part of my strategy was to eat before I went. I had some homemade clam chowder before going and then made sure to get in my run on the treadmill that evening. It worked perfectly. :carrot:

Lori you are soooo close I have my fingers crossed for you.

misspriss you are on your way. YaY on the 2.2. Thanks for the good vibes I know they will make a difference.

Shan 12lbs is AWESOME!!!! I have no doubt you will make it.

chubbyphotograph I am so excited for you. You are working it out (literally!)

Alrighty.....3days and counting. We Can Do It!

And remember any Success is SUCCESS. Be proud of what you are doing to change your life for the better.

I'm still here but not losing weight. Congrats to all the losers! You rock!:carrot:

Hey everyone, I'm sorry I'm never on here anymore. School has been crazy this past week, and it will continue for the next 3 weeks. But I graduate on December 20!!! I can't wait to be finished with all of this studying. I did pretty good with eating last week, but hardly exercised at all. I did somehow lose 2.8 lbs though!!!!! I am now at 172.2. I tried something new for the second half of last week and didn't count calories. I just tried to only eat when I was ACTUALLY hungry and not just because it was time to eat. It definitely helped to cut my calories down. So I think I'm going to stick with this for a while to see how it works, and hopefully I'll lost the last 2.2 by Sunday to get to my Thanksgiving goal.

Another week, another weigh in and still 189. But I am eating great! So I am certain it will start showing next week.

I'm having "green smoothies" for breakfasts and now I'm having green....errr number twos. LOLOL!

2 bananas
handful of frozen strawberries
1 cup frozen blueberries
100g fresh spinach
1 cup water

Blended smooth and in a HUGE cup.

Jae~Thanks so much!! It must have worked!!!

I am In a bit of a hurry ~making kids something to eat I got 20 minutes Til they get home from school......JUST WANTED TO SHARE I WAS 169.8 On the scale this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did It....I made my Thanksgiving goal. I am so happy to Be in a new decade.
I will be back online tonight if possible....To post a little bit more.
HUGS TO EVERYONE!

HUGE NSV!!

Let me preface this by saying that when I first came to Korea back in February I was wearing a size 30/32 pant, and a size 26/28 shirt. This morning I am wearing a size 24 jeans (AND I LOOK HOT!!), and a size 2x from old navy shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lori and Amelia, congrats to both of you:flow1: . It is really a wonderful to see the scales move from the 180s to the 170s or from the 170s to the 160s. So I am happy for both of you for reaching one of those "little milestones" on the way.

Wow, shan84, you are doing great!!

I am happy to report that I also reached my goal, small though it may have been. My support group is not meeting this week because of Thanksgiving so I weighed this evening at same time and same amount of clothing and the scales said 172, so I am claiming it!

Finally back with no more stuff today until tommorrow~LOL

I am worn out!

Hey to everyone i missed! I plan on staying on my calorie diet until thursday then eating that one meal for thanksgiving then getting right back on my diet friday. I will skip my cheat meal on sunday so all should be good on the following sundays WI.

I also plan on working out everyday...have a good holiday everyone:)

:thanks1: :thanks2:

Hey guys....it's been awhile since I've been here but life has been crazy the past two weeks. I went away both last weekend and this past weekend to see some skating competitions. I had such a great time at both of them with my friends!!!!

Something horrible happened though on my way home from Toronto this past weekend. I was waiting in line to check in and a mom walked in with her baby on her hip and her other son walking behind her. Somehow, the baby fell from the mom's arms from the departures level down to the arrivals level. Sherri (from here) told me that the baby ended up dying from the fall. This was the scariest and saddest thing I have ever experienced in my life. I have not been able to sleep since then. Everytime I close my eyes, I can picture the baby and then I can picture the mother screaming uncontrollably. I have had this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach ever since....the experience has definitely scarred me. It was seriously the worst thing ever and I can't even imagine what that mother is going through right now.

So needless to say, things have been weird ever since Sunday. I have started back at the gym and thankfully it's giving me an outlet to just go somewhere and not think about the tragedy for an hour out of the day.

Good calorie counting website I use
 

I swear by calorieking.com it is really handy and you can search by practically anything.

misspriss78 ~YOU ROCK GIRL! IN YOUR NEW AVATAR PIC~YOU LOOK AMAZZZZZZZING! (loved the other of course also~But LOOK AT YOU IN THIS ONE ~WOWZA!!!)



OMG Chele~how horrible That must have been & is being for you.
I Feel so horrible for the mother......Mothers always have there hands full & are multi~tasking.......I have that family definetly In My prayers.......As I do you as well.............It must have been so scary to see that.
I still to this day can see my father (who passed awy on september 7th 2007) When I got to the hospital and he didn't make it......Laying there lifeless.......I was destroyed..........I can see him like it just happened..........so I could not imagine seeing a baby Falling to his/or her death.......I am so sorry you had to witness that.
HUGS TO YOU!


As for me....Going to do like kinda like Misspriss~I am having a free day On thanksgiving....I did last year too & it worked out well for me....One free day a year is better than stressing myself for that day & ruining the holidays for myself & my family. I Start back on 1400 calories the next day...regardless if there is leftovers. ~I actually will be lucky to get a whole lot down...My stomach has definetly shrunk and I get full very quickly now.

Well off to sleep...Chele~you are definetly in my prayers tonight.TAKE CARE
