Hey everyone... Just wanted to check in. Its been a CRAZY stressful week. Trying to get all my finals and projects done. I just have one left, although I only got 3 hours sleep last night. :eek: UGH... almost done. And going out of town this weekend for my best friends birthday. SO I think I am just going to weigh in friday, before I leave.

On a positive note I ordered 30 DS and 2 others, it was a pack of 3 and they came today. Prob wont get to it tonight but definitely tomorrow. I'm excited! lol... Hope Everyone is OP and having a great week!

Thanks everyone for the advice!! I will probably try that equate test by the end of the week. I actually bought one a few months ago just to have it since I went off the pill....maybe I should find it tonight and take it in the morning...but then again, maybe I shouldn't get stressed before flying home?!?!? I got excited this morning thinking "it" was here, but haven't seen anything since...

I did 30DS L2-D5 today...it's not really getting easier like it did with L1...but I"m getting through...and YES, I packed it today to take w/me to WV :) I asked on the 30DS thread about moving on to L3...should I wait longer than the 10days, or just move on after 10 WO's??

Amelia--GOOD JOB STAYING OP AT IHOP!!! I would not be able to do that!! I LOVE PANCAKES!! haha and they're not too calorie-friendly!!! Whatever happened with that job interview???

mkyice--thanks for the advice! And glad to hear you had a good day!!!

susie--HOLY COW THAT'S AWESOME!! When was the last time you weighed?? I bet it's for real bc how in the world can one day being sick make you lose 7lbs?!?!?! **Praying it sticks!!!**

Shylah--Sorry to hear about your shoulder...you're right in thinking stopping 30DS until it's fully healed!! WATP is also a great WO!! Hope it's better soon :D

Sugar--hope you had a nice lunch with your momma!!!

Shan--Hope you feel better soon!!!

jiggle--doing it by memory!?!?! YOU GO GIRL!!! sorry to hear about the clothes...i totally understand!!! heck, we probably all do!! With the way you WO, this will pass in NO TIME!!!

fruit--good job gettin that water out!! Sorry to hear DH likes that buffet so much, but atleast he's trying nowadays!! you deseve a good man!!!

sixsarah--Good job w/your WO's!! Thats awesome!!

northern--YAY FOR 12 DAYS AND NO REAL GAIN!!! Makes ya think maintenance won't be too bad!!!

Beachlover--Good Luck with your last final/project!! And you're gonna love 30DS!! I heard the other 3 that come w/it in the package are good too...I may get them later :D

Beachlover: I can't wait until your weigh in! I feel like you're going to see Onederland!!

Krista: I (officially) weighed in last Friday, but I'd not had but about 2 pounds lost over the last 3 weeks. I seem to lose tiny, tiny, whoosh, tiny. But never in my wildest dreams would I imagine a 6.8 pound whoosh!! I'm holding my breath that it will still be there in the morning when I weigh in! I've been weighing about every other day on my schizo bathroom scale, but I only count the WiiFit for official weigh ins.

Jiggle: I stayed OP today and even exercised even though I didn't feel like it. I came in at 1558 calories for the day. I had 4 slices of WW bread/toast throughout the day trying to calm my tummy. The nausea finally left after lunch time. I'm hopin', prayin', wishin' that the loss sticks so I can change my tickers tomorrow.

Northern: that is awesome that you lost a pound even with your trip and all you've been dealing with. I'll bet when you get strictly back OP you'll see a whoosh!

Ok, off to bed for me. Nitey Nite!

p.s. Lori, I hope you're doing ok, it's been quiet from you lately.

When I weighed this morning, it said the same as yesterday so I went ahead and changed my tickers!

I'll just stay OP and see where I end up by the end of the challenge :O)

Today is mine and hubby's 15th anniversary so I won't be on much. Have a great day y'all.

Weighed in today...171.5 (-2.5) woohoo! My goal was to get to 170 by memorial day, so its well in reach, but even more exciting, its highly possible I'll be in the 160's next week.

Workouts have been going well. I just added a mat pilates class twice a week. Hopefully it will tighten up everything as I loose the last 30 or so pounds. Yesterday kicked in TOM and My DH very sweetly came home and made fresh choc chip cookies. It was so hard with the smell everywhere, and DH and DS asking me to try them, but not even 1 chip went in my mouth. I was definitly rewarded on the scale today.

Susieyarb Congrats on the huge weightloss sticking!!!! Have a great anniversary, hopefully you have something special planned.

KDM322 My fingers are crossed that you get the answer you want on the test.

Beachlover Hope you get some sleep soon! Congrats on 30DS, I've heard its awesome. I love Jillian!

Hope everyone else keeps up the good work heading into the weekend!

Helloooo
I'm doing well. I had a great workout yesterday but may not be doing anything today because i have been having chest pains and have to go to the dr to see what that's about. It only hurts when I'm not wearing my good bra or if I'm bra less. But eating on plan so I don't have any trouble. Actually I'm hoping it's gas because nothing else is bothering me. I will be taking it easy until the dr tells me what's going on. If he okays me I will resume my 30 days of 30DS. I've been doing so well and I want to be able to say I stuck with those 30 days.
Susie - :celebrate: Happy Anniversary!! Congrats on the loss. I knew it was time to move that sticker!!! Thanks for the encouragement. I do measure every week so I can keep up with myself. My losses are smaller than they used to be but thankfully I'm going down.
Northern - I feel better knowing that others are seeing those blobs too. Not that I'm happy but I feel better...There's hope for these legs because they look better covered up. Welcome back. Missed You.:hug:
KDM - I don't think level 2 gets easier...at least it didn't for me. I thought it was me and I needed to loose more weight. Which is why I decided on the 30 days of 30DS. Hoping it gets better for you. :exercise:
Beach - Welcome to the 30DS club. Enjoy it. Let me know when you get to level 2 and if it gets better after a week or two. :D
Six - You are doing the thang!! Good job on the workouts :strong:

Oh by the by - I tried on the TSPs last night and they fit better. I'm going to be able to wear them Saturday!!! :yay::yay: I also tried on a pair of jeans that I could barely pull over my hips when I first started and they slid right on zipped and buttoned NO MUFFIN!! I've been working really hard to make sure I make my goal and it's looking good!! :dance::dance:

:grouphug: I love you all.

Good Morning!

My workout is done for the day. I walked the dog for 30mins then did level one of 30 day shred. Im back to counting calories today.

~~~CONFESSION TIME~~
So, i feel like a big whinny baby right now but ive got to get this out if i want to move on. I have been doing great all day on my diet but by the end of the day all **** breaks loose and i have this over whelming urge to eat at night and lately i have been giving in... but NOT ANYMORE, that crap stops today. I'm making a comment to myself today that no matter how upset i get,how sad,depressed,frustrated, mad or just plan lazy...im going to stay on plan.

KDM-I have the second interview tomorrow, wish me luck. Good luck with the pregnancy test!!!

Hello to everyone. I have to admit that i have been lurking without any motivation to post(haven't been on plan so i didn't want to be a 'debbie downer' LOL)

Susie - I'm so glad it sticked!! yay for moving tickers DOWN! Happy Anni too :)

Fit - Nice loss!

Jiggle - I hope it's nothing. Maybe you pulled a muscle in your chest? So when the girls bring pressure by hanging down it's pulling on it? I hope it's nothing. Keep us updated.

KDM - i'm gonna be on pins until you test ha!

MissP - get back on the wagon girly! I've been there with you this week. I know that's why I haven't lost and only maintained. We can both do this, I'll commit with you - NO JUNK AT NIGHT!! (or any other time :p)

It turns out the reason I seemed to have lost so little this past week was because I ate late the night before. Yesterday I ate at my normal time and I was down another pound this morning (174.8), which puts me at a 1.4 lb loss for the week! It feels so good to finally have the scale moving again that it has made it much easier for me to stay OP.

hello all!!

It's been forever since I have been on here, I haven't had much free time for myself, i've been studying so much for my finals it's been crazy! I have my last one tomorrow at 10:30 am, so i've already been studying to get as much time in as possible. i did work out today too, just studied while working out. funny thing actually, it makes the work out time go by faster!! thank you all for your kind words about my mom, i'm so glad that she's fine!! i'm sure that was a great mother's day present for her, to have clear results. I am down 4 pounds, so I only have 11 more for my goal. I really think I am going to get this one. I just need to step up my exercising a little bit more. I have been staying OP during this whole process of studying, which is great, because usually eating comes with studying. haha. I also have another motivation to work for, I'm going to Chicago the end of June, just for a few day for a concert that my friend wants me to go to. She's paying, so I'm like, definitely! haha. I want to be looking the best I can and the best I have been in a few years by the time June 28th comes, so I gotta step it up!!

Well i better get back to studying. I will be on more starting tomorrow, once school is done for the semester. thank God!! Looks like everyone is doing pretty well, keep up the good work!! :)

jiggle: I hope that you're ok! It does sound like a pulled muscle, my dad has had that before and if that is your only symptom then you are more than likely fine. :) He just didn't complain about the bra thing... haha :)

susie: happy anniversary chica!!! have fun!!!! :)

Good Afternoon Ladies!!!

Lunch with my mom was good. I went 300 over my 1500 cal limit for the day. Not too bad, could have been worse.

I had a little NSV this morning. I bought this CUTE dress to wear for when DH got back home. I bought it months ago when I was still delusional and thinking I still fit into a size 8. I just bought it, I didnt try it on at all. Its a "wiggle" dress, its black with pink polka dots and it bottons closed straight down the front. I tried to put it on when I got home that day and I couldnt button it at all. Ive been trying it on every week or so and today I got it buttoned all the way lol. Obviously it doesnt fit well enough to wear out in public yet, but its getting there. I will definetly have to buy something else to wear for when DH comes home. He's due back in about 10days.

Susie YAY!!! Im glad it stuck!!!

Jiggle Im glad the TSPs fit. I bet you look AWESOME in them. Keep up the good work.

Susie~thanks for missing me~I am just a mess.
I depend upon my hubby to nearly do everything for me & now since this Rheumatoid arthritis(RA) has kicked in & is puttting him down quick ~Its making very rough on him & me & our kids.My Lung Doctor appointment is Monday(the 17th)Not sure if They can tell me much the first day But I am hopeful.....Scared & anxious for answers.I am sticking at 156 to 157 in weight & Am definetly at a plaqtue Or whatever it is called~LOL can't think~which is driving me nuts! I just wanna get to my 150 & say HEY I DID IT! cause I feel like such a loser in life right now~not breathing correctly holds ya back from life & I just wanna live.(I am sure my hubby & kids needs the help) PRAY FOR ME~I am an emotional mess.~Will type again soon.
(OH & I discovered facebook so been checking it out for a few days.)
(Sorry to carry on But I needed to get it outta my system.)
LOVE YA SUSIE! Thanks for always carrying & Those other that do~THANKS Y'all!
Sorry to be b*tchy again this challenge just alot going on in my life.

Lori - *hugs* we need you feeling better girl. I hope the dr appt goes well.

:hug:Thanks so much~I needed a hug ~really bad! I am an emotional mess~Hope I aint uninspiring anyone ~I am keeping on plan~just not moving on the scale much. anymore:?: I hope that doc appointment goes well too~I am so happy it's only a few days away now!

At the doc's office and she said it seems like gas. Of course the pain was gone and I sounded like a crazy lady explaining the pain. I'm happy though. She made me get on the scale and it was bad but good. I found out the gym scale is sooooo wrong but I weigh less than I have in six years. I will keep plugging along!! I was happy to see that.
The dr. said I have a good attitude about life. What should it be since I don't have any heart issues. My heart sounds strong...it has to be all that working out!!! Well back on task with my 30 days of 30DS!!! YAY!!!:carrot::carrot:
