  • jdonato, Thanks, you and I are exactly the same height, I put 5"4 because it is just seemed easier I don't even want to think about getting down to 124 wow. 144 seems like ages away. I'm sure you look great but of course it is what you feel comfortable with. Don't cry just pick up and get back on track you can do it. YOU KNOW YOU CAN, we know you can and WILL

    Hi NorthernExposure did you do like I did and put the picture on then take it off

    dcapulet, I am with you all the way. Great to lose, but the baggy clothes and having to buy more is a bummer. Especially when I know that I will only be buying more in a smaller size again but it's nice having clothes that fit.

    I am still struggling with getting my eating back on track. I am doing well with exercising though which helps keep me from regaining. I jogged for 20 min. straight! I'm so excited about it. I've never jogged for 20 min. before.
    I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.
  • Happy Birthday Jingle, and early birthday Mkyice!
  • Hi all!

    I don't know how, but I gained 1.5 lbs as of this morning. I have not been eating near what I used to, since i started the new job. Maybe that's it, not eating enough calories. I have no clue. I am on my feet running around all day, must be burning lots of calories. Today I had 1205 cal , less than yesterday. I can't wait to see what the scale says tomorrow. Good luck everyone!
  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIGGLE!!! AND yay for those sexy legs!!! my calves are still huge, so I doubt I'll ever be able to wear knee-high boots!!! CONGRATS!

    Jdon--Welcome back girl! I totally understand about gettin back on track...after my vaca in June, it took until just about 2wks ago, for me to get back on track...BUT YOU CAN DO IT!!! You got the know how (look what you've already lost)...you got the motivation (hello...wedding! lol)...and you got US! (**Kick in the butt**) lol You are awesome girl and you WILL get past this!! maybe just the stress of trying to find a job got ur mind distracted and that's how you fell off the wagon??? whatever the reason, it don't matter! what matters is that you've realized the problem and decided to stop it from getting worse!! btw..CONGRATS on the JOB!!!

    lori--LOVE LOVE LOVE the hair!!! it's soo cute!! and i'll be prayin for you & your daughter...maybe check w/a lawyer about the school NOT helping you guys?? if the school and/or school board thinks you're gonna take legal action, they might do what they shoulda did yrs ago!?!?!? GOOD LUCK and YAY for 146!!! AWESOMENESS!!!

    AS FOR ME---I'm back to my lowest weight...169.4...haven't got to exercise the last few days (organizing/decluttering in preparation for my yard sale today!)...but calories have been EXCELLENTE!! AND, the 169.4 was at 5PM today...and I usually weigh right when I get up...sooo, it may be a BRAND NEW LOW tomorrow!! my cookout was moved from thurs. til tomorrow night, sooo, I didn't weigh yesterday and will count tomorrow as my official WI for the week...can't wait to see what the overall loss for the week will be!!! it feels great to be back in the 160s! I am excited to wear my new outfit to the cookout tomorrow...maybe (and that's a BIG maybe) I'll take a pic & post it

  • Good morning ladies,

    so I realized I actually gained fat not water weight...I've lost 1.2 lbs so far which is good, but if it was water weight it would b e comeing off more. That's ok though, one day at a time. I went way over my calories yesterday, and mostly was high calorie food and late night eating. didn't gain weight which is good, but need to make a few changes to keep this up.

    So I signed all the paperwork yesterday for my new job and I start August 16th! Oh am I excited, it's in my field of study and great experience and start for the bf and I.

    KDM: Thank you so much! It feels soo good knowing you are here for support and I'm here for you as well Congrats on the new low! I'm so proud of you


    fruitlady: congrats on the new job! It's nice to get exercise on the job and the farmer's market sounds great! I can't wait to get some fresh veggies and fruit in our house.

    mkyice: I'm right beside you with the eating, we can get back on track together! Nice job on the exercise, you could jog laps around me....20min is a long time!

    dcapulet: congrats on the 18's!

    Lori: Thanks and you are not old, infact you could be my sister not my mom...your too young for that!

    jiggle: Hope you had a great birthday with the hubby! and keep struting in those boots!

    love2b150: thanks for the encouragement glad you are my height because i was hoping i'm not the only one who has to jump up to get bread at the store lol...ppl see me struggle and most gentlemen will come over and help...if the bf is there he's 6'1 and can do it for me hehe

    Nothern: congrats on the weightloss and the BMI. I'm so proud of you for getting healthy! keep up the great work!

    KarenBee: I'm there with ya on the pizza...i had 3 pieces last night when i came home from work late ************ wasn't happy....we can have a fresh start today!

    bigmamatexas: I love it! I used to teach water aerobics...the ladies all love the milk jugs to use in the water for resistance or (toys) lol I think it's amazing you do that and congrats on the weight loss 1.5 lbs! wahoo



    Well i'm off to do yard work with the bf before work today. I just told my work about my new job so I'll finally have my weekends back! the bf is happy so he can put me to work around the house boooo! lol Hope you ladies have a great day!
  • Good Morning

    TOM is here and im kinda frustrated with it. I have been waiting all week to weigh in tomorrow and now that 'anticipation' is gone(only weigh in once a week now) I know i will be up a couple of lbs...sigh, oh well. Maybe next week the fabulous whoosh fairy will visit me At least TOM explains my energy level, mood swings and crazy cravings all week. Its kinda early though, like three days...

    Today's workout is a full body weight work. I was going to put it off for tomorrow because i always gain water after lifting heavy but now there is no point in putting it off. Yesterday i did some cardio then yoga, i felt great after.

    JD-so excited for you on your new job! What a happy time for you and your bf!

    Jiggle-Congrats on the changes your seeing, it feels so good to see our hard work paying off! belated Happy Birthday to you!

    Hello to everyone i missed. I've got to get some breakfast in me, im starving

    have a good day today!
  • Good Day Everyone!!
    I had so much fun last night. We ate at the best Mexican Restaurant and I got a free shot of Jose Cuervo because it was my birthday, followed by two shots of patron' (I think because of the glass the shots of patron were in it was probably 4 shots. I ate a burrito and some of the rice so I don't think I was over on the eating but the shots probably put me at about 1600 calories. I was feeling pretty good when we left the restaurant. We met some friends at a club so I danced off the calories I went over. I tasted this stuff one of my friends was drinking and it tasted like cough syrup and a jolly rancher. She said these thing will sneak up on you and proceeded to give me a half glass of whatever it was. Well it did sneak up on me and I was sooooooooooo drunk. Mind you I usually max out at two shots. I woke up early because we had to get my daughter from my niece's house but I was still drunk so my husband went got her.

    This morning my husband made me eat and that helped tremendously. I don't have a headache and I'm about to go to the spa for a 1hr full body massage. Then the party starts all over at 5. I won't be drinking or going over my calories.

    JD - I don't remember if I congratulated you on the job and the wedding so if I did dismiss me. If not CONGRATS!!
    Misspriss - I'm sorry TOM showed up before you could weigh but I'm sure you would still have a loss because you have been working pretty hard.
    KDM - Congrats on the all time low. Now it's all and all time low from here on out. YAY!!
    Mkyice - Enjoy your birthday and don't do as much damage as I did.

    Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I am having such a lovely weekend.
