Sorry, been MIA for a while. Just found out this week that my aunt is losing her battle with brain cancer. Been making arrangements to get some time off to take my mom down to Texas to see her.

Anyway...down another pound since Monday. 3 more lbs for the challenge. Probably going to come up a little short, but close at least!

Hope eveyone has a good weekend.

I only had 900 cal. today. I was so busy I had no time to eat. It was a good busy though! I'm not losing for the past 2 days, maybe my calories are too low. Still one pound to go!

~awwwww~U all all super! Never fail to make me smile ~NEVER!
I started a thread that alot of y'all have seen Under calorie counters threads where we can post before & after pics to help others with a way to lose weight or encourage anyone that needs encouragement.~Check it out if ya get a chance & post pics if ya wanna~I actually even posted some beforee & after pics of my daughter ~Just from switching the food calories in the household she has lost massive ~She could care less ~but I was excited about it~~hard to believe my baby girl will be 17 years old in a few weeks!
Anyways check it all out~it's a great thread & has so many inspiring stories & pics on there!!

Off to post o a few more threads then to sleep~No anxiety attacks today so far~which was cool~gotta get up early to go get my lungs x-ray & then off to a master gardeners plant exchange~I am taking 8 burningbushes in 4 the exchange~i am not in there group I just go to the yearly exchange & I can get free plants by taking in free stuff for others! So it saves a flower lover like me alot of money! I am hoping someone brings in some more zebra grass this year~I love that stuff! that and would like some more ajuga!
Well ttyl~proboly 2morrow eveening since I got a busy day 2morrow. HUGS!

Northern~I am so sorry to hear that about your aunt~you both Are in my prayers~HUGS !

Yay Jiggle I knew you'd get them on! I usually am right in between on short/petite and average but these jeans fit me great in length. I was able to wear them with flat sandals and with heels (about 3 inch).

They stretch out quite a bit, so you'll be wearing them for real super soon. Just don't wait too long!

Mrs. Lovett I'm sorry you were disappointed by the weigh in at the doctor. Those doctor scales are so wicked!

Krista: I thought my Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout was a little hokey on the production too. But it did kick my bootie! Jillian doesn't do much of anything and the contestants are not very in sync either.

Hope y'all have a great weekend.

I'm craving mexican food. I think it's the weather, we're stormy here and I have been wanting to cozy up with some cheesy goodness. But I won't. I'll head to bed. We're under tornado watch, so hopefully we'll be safe and get some sleep and not be on high alert.

Northern, I'm sorry to hear about your aunt. What part of Texas will you be coming to? That's a long drive from MN!

Good Morning everyone!!
It's storming outside but I wanted to jump on and post before I get my workout done.
Northern - So sorry to hear about your aunt. Be safe and know we are thinking and praying for you and your family. :hug::hug:
Lori - I was so excited to hear about your lack of panic attacks. Hope you get lots of good plants. I don't do yard, plant or flower stuff...never had an interest. :):)
Susie - How about it's 6am and I just saw the note you sent with the jeans...LOL!! I will wear the around and will be trying them on every week until I can get in the comfortably. That helps me work hard. I took a picture in them so I can see my progress when they fit loose!!

Well I'm happy to report my shoulder feels so much better and I can get back to my regularly scheduled workout outs, with today being my intense workout day!! I'm potty training the little girl so I gotta workout out before she gets up because it's gonna be potty training boot camp all day!!! :boxing::boxing:

Lori~ less attacks, that's fantastic! How's our breathing?
Jiggle~ good luck with potty training!
I bet those jeans will fit well in no time.

I hope everyone is having a good day. I have. It was sunny today, so I went to the track this afternoon and did week 3 day 1 of the C25K. I went to the store on the way home and they finally have gas grills in stock (I'm overseas and have been waiting for the Navy Exchange to recieve their shipment of grills so I could buy one). I spent the next few hours assembling it. I am excited about having a grill again.
I hope you all have a great OP day!

Thanks, guys...I really appreciate your thoughts and prayers!

Susie, she is in a hospital in Houston. My family lives outside of Houston in Highlands. Yes, it is a long drive...but my mom is on disability and can't afford to fly. I don't have enough money right now to fly us both (plus we need to get a room when we get there because they have other family visiting and not enough room in their house for two more right now) so we're going to drive. My boss was great in working with me to take a week off, so we'll make it work. I just hope she holds out that long :( We're heading down on May 1st.

Hoping I can keep things in check with all the road food/no exercise. I know family is WAY more important than my "diet" right now, but I know you guys can understand how I feel, lol.

Again, I really appreciate the support. I almost feel like I "know" you guys! Hope you all have a good weekend.

quick check in : got my 4x workout in this week woohoo!

have a great saturday everyone

Susieyarb, well it was kinda okay because I was wearing a coat and shoes at the time... but still disappointing. She said that I had only lost 9 lbs. since the last time I saw her and that was either in December 09 or January 2010. I can't remember the date. I'm guessing my dietitian's was more like my "true" weight because when I stepped on her scale, I wasn't wearing shoes and a coat. I will not be weighing in at the doctor's office anymore...

MrsLovett

hello everyone!

This is just a really quick post from me, I'm at work and shouldn't be on the computer...again! haha oops. well I am down another pound, so I was able to win my 3rd 5 pound challenge!!! whoo!!! that was a real motivator for me! I have family in town and last night we had deep dish pizza, dairy queen, and pop galore! Except...I didn't have ANY!!!!!! I am so proud of myself for that. I just had my boca burger and a bowl of soup! It was really hard cuz I haven't had pizza in such a long time nor dairy queen and it looked so good, but I just thought hey they will be done eating in like 30 minutes and I can do this! well it paid off! Ok i have customers, got to go! have a good day!

Just a quick check-in....30ds ARRIVED!! YAY!!! I'll be starting it tomorrow! I"m really hoping to be able to do it every day or atleast every other day because I'll be going home in 18 days and would like to get the best results possible by then!!! I may even take it with me so that I can still WO while visiting :)

Northern--I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt!! *Praying for you & your family*

Lori--CONGRATS on no attacks yesterday!! How was the lung doc today??

Farn--you are kickin butt girl!! you're definitely gonna be in smaller sizes soon so you can restock your wardrobe!!!

mkyice--I LOVE GRILLING!!! good job doin C25K outside...I never really did that...was too afraid :)

jiggle--Good Luck potty training!! And with the way you WO, I'm sure those traveling pants are gonna fit in NO TIME!!!

Susie--good job not craving for Mexican...you have more will power than me!! lol

shylah--congrats on 4 WO this week!! AWESOME JOB!

mrslovett--do you not have a personal scale?? or do you always go by the dr. scale??? maybe you should choose one scale and stick with it for every weighing...or atleast for "official" weighs...there's no way you could gain 4lbs that quickly!

WE'RE IN THE HOME STRETCH....WE CAN DO THIS...WE'VE ALL BEEN KICKING BUTT THROUGHOUT THIS CHALLENGE...EVEN IF WE DON'T REACH OUR GOALS, ATLEAST WE'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER!!! :D

Ashley! Way to go in resisting that pizza, soda and Dairy Queen! I've been drooling over that Jalito Burger they're advertising, but I haven't caved in yet.

Northern! I'll bet you're going to drive right past my town on the way to Houston!

Hey guys! Sorry ive been MIA, lately ive been kinda down about things so i didn't want to come on here and bring everyone else down too:( Ive got to nip these bad habits in the bud..QUICK! I started counting calories again today(the first day is always the hardest for me) and im taking it one meal at a time. Think i will go back to staggering my calories like I use too...Today i will eat 1400.

I started a Blog and its helping to motivate me a little. Losing my job really upset me,ive got to snap out of it. Thanks for all the hugs and words of encouragement...i really appreciate it!:hug:You guys ROCK:cool:

Congratulations to everyone on this challenge..Im always AMAZED and INSPIRED every time i log in...WTG on your achievements!!!!

I will bb soon!!!:)
