MissPriss I hope I do get a whoosh! I'm not crossing my fingers though, I think I'm stalled a little. Your measurement results are awesome! I've been doing some measurements as well and it's so frustrating the only place where I'm losing inches is my natural waist. So far 4 inches off and basically nothing anywhere else. That being said, I only measured hips, waist and chest so I don't know if I'm losing inches somewhere else...

Now I could have sworn that I posted in here a couple of hours ago, but I guess not. Same with another thread...so weird, maybe I imagine myself posting haha!

My mood is not so great...with the scale not moving for so long and the fact that I've just noticed this horrible pattern of feeling sick...well I'm not so happy. For the past week or a little longer, it seems like around 11-2 I start to feel sick. Like nauseous kind of sick...like I want to throw up kind of sick. And I get a headache. So I drink some water...and then I think maybe I'm hungry so I eat my lunch..or a snack. By about 2-3 I usually feel better, but it's not fun feeling sick for those few hours, and I usually notice it more when I'm at work, which sucks because I can't leave or even really take a break.

Ok that was a bit of a rant, I'm sorry. If anyone has any insights to this, I'd be really appreciative.

I had a bit of a woosh, 1.5lbs yay! Had 1185 calories today, just under 1200 seems to be the norm for me when I don't eat junk, I'm satisfied all day, not hungry. I have been wanting chocolate all day today, just waiting for the rest of this water weight to leave. If I ate it now, my weight would stall for sure.

misspriss- I love Ross too! It's the only place I buy clothes now.

Good Morning Ladies,
Misspriss - I love Ross too. It's great shopping at reasonable prices. I'm really enjoying the Slim in 6 videos. There's an 11 minute ab workout and it BURNS!! Hoping it gives me great results. I plan to do that in the mornings before work, walk/run at lunch and then do a little walking before I go to bed.
Bigmama - Don't let the frustration get to you. Maybe you can try measuring for a while. It is much more rewarding to me when I can get in a smaller size not worrying about what the scale says.
Rainbow - I only measure my chest, waist, lower stomach, and hips. If it seems like I'm not losing as much as I want, I will measure my arms and legs and see that I'm losing in other areas so it's not so bad. Hope you are feeling better today.
Fruitlady - Congrats on the whoosh!!!
Northern - I know you are sore but you had to have fun. I'm loving having a treadmill at home. I don't feel so pressed to workout at lunch even though it's my plan. I don't like going to the bathroom a lot but I hate the water weight from over consuming salt.

Well I'm feeling good after my morning workout. I'm more alert today. The plan is to go workout at lunch. I may need more calories than I brought with me today. I'm hoping not but we'll see. Based on what I have by the time I get off I will have eaten 565 calories. Normally I'm at 700-800. Maybe I will do a 1200 calorie day today and tomorrow.

Ok, I decided to change my weigh in day from Monday to Fridays. I enjoy my Sunday a little too much and Monday reflects it. Last week was a little rough I am on week 3 or so this and barely down at all but I will keep plugging away. Truly I am lazy and I think this week I will step it up. I love reading about everyone's accomplishments- it keeps me motivated.

NorthernExposure 09-28-2010 11:54 AM

Just a quickie...but I wanted to report that my unofficial WI this morning was good! After only losing 1/2 lb last week, I've lost another 1.5 since Sunday...so I think I finally got rid of the water weight from eating too much sodium on Saturday.

I will wait until Friday (trying to make Friday my "official" WI day from now on) to change my ticker. Hoping for another 1/2 lb and I can change my avatar to -65! But right now I am enjoying (unofficially, at least...lol), being 209.5. I can't believe I am in the two-oh-somethings and ONEderland is just around the corner!!

fruitlady 09-28-2010 07:58 PM

Hello everyone!

I lost another pound but, I ate a bit much today(2260 calories) I was cleaning the house and walking everywhere cause our car is in the shop getting fixed. I walked to the market and carried home all the groceries myself. I do this all the time, I like to do it, great exercise. If the bags aren't too heavy I curl them while I'm walking. My husband and son said I'm getting guns! I've been getting compliments from strangers too, asking me if I work out cause I look like I'm in great shape. It's so strange to hear that from people when you have been fat your whole life. It almost feels like it's not real, cause I don't see it myself when I look in the mirror. I guess I didn't totally realize it til now!

misspriss78 09-29-2010 07:43 AM

Good Morning girls,

Im fighting those TOM cravings. Im not due until next week:?: Anyways, I need to do weights today but I think i will do a long power walk + some yoga. My legs are looking more toned than ever, gotta be the walking!!! I have time to get my weights in this week, its only Wednesday.

My calorie intake this week has been higher than normal, not exactly something to be proud of but at least im not over eating without any thought (like i would normally do) im trying to keep it under control:) So far the scale is only up 2lbs and like i said, TOM is right around the corner.

I will try and bbl with some personals!

Good Morning Ladies,
I'm having a rough start. I was leaving for work and fell down the stairs. My elbow has a gash in it and it hurts like heck. I didn't get my Slim in 6 in this morning so I will get it done this evening along with my walk on the treadmill which is did yesterday evening. I was sore from the Slim in 6 workout from the past couple days and now the fall added some extra. Then I got stuck in Atlanta Traffic with was a beast this morning. Depending on how I feel at lunch will determine if I workout. I don't have lunch today because I need to go grocery shopping. I will need to figure out what I will eat if I go workout. ARRRRGGGG!!!

It will get better though. I feel so out of sorts.

I hate falling, i always feel so mixed up emotionally when i fall. I hope your doing ok now!
I couldn't imagine dealing with ATL traffic, ugh. I live in the boonies (carroll county) but whenever we go through atl my anxiety rises due to the traffic:dizzy: Were going to the braves game this weekend (speaking of traffic) and my DH will have to drive:^: have a good workout later

NorthernExposure 09-29-2010 02:21 PM

Hey all,

Not feeling well today, actually called in sick this morning! Slept until almost 11, which is what I think my body needed. I feel a little better now, but not 100% yet. Still planning on doing some sort of exercise today...I'm thinking my 2 mile WATP will do, especially if I take it easy on the arm movements and skip the hand weights today.

Jiggle: hope you recover soon from your fall! I am NOT looking forward to winter with its icy steps and sidewalks! At least I don't have to deal with big city traffic up here, lol.

Lori: aren't teenagers and their "phases" so funny sometimes? From goth to girly, lol.

Everyone else: hope you're all staying a bit healthier and uninjured than Jiggle and I are!

jigglefree 09-29-2010 02:41 PM

I didn't go to the gym for lunch. I am very sore. I have been moving around a lot so that my muscles don't settle and stiffen up on me. I probably won't be working out tonight either. I don't want to aggravate anything and be worse off. I did tell my supervisor I may stay home tomorrow. I have a pain in my shoulder now. I've been replaying the fall over and over to see if I can determine what happened and what I hit when I fell. I just know I'm not feeling like I want to. I can't rest my elbow on my desk because it hurts REALLY BAD.

Northern - I don't miss the snow and ice!!! Hope you feel 100% sooner than later. I'm going to rest my body so that I can get back in the game all the way.
Lori - Of course you were my motivation for the garage sale venture I was on Saturday...THANKS! You are such the inspiration in more ways than I can count!!! Did you move yet?
Misspriss - That's exactly how I feel.."mixed up emotionally" and my body hurts as well. I can't remember the last time I fell anywhere.

I will be checking in because it keeps me on track with my eating.

fruitlady 09-29-2010 07:35 PM

Been overeating for two days, got to get back on track tomorrow!

Lori259 09-29-2010 10:31 PM

Northern Hoping u get well soon too! Hugs to u

Jiggle...Went to look at the inside of the other house awhile back & the inside was horrifying...Was so mad at the realtor that I decided I am never moving from here..Me & the kids can keep the lawn mowed if needed somehow or I will pay someone to do it if the hubby gets to where he is unable to keep up with it.I love it here anyways & Feel blessed to have my dream old farm house I always wanted....Just needs a little updating..Nothing major been working on it gradually(.Within 4 years we have painted some of the inside..placed in brand new total floors int he dining room & kitchen~Redone the bathroom enough to keep us at ease until we can really get to it...Placed a whole new roof on the house ~got amega tree cut down That was ruining the roof~repaired a broken windo~Put in brand new back patio doors. & Redid the whole water lines in the house...Had a brand new furnace place in 2 years ago & Done 1000's of dollars of landscaping...)~Anyways so not moving....Which is a good thing I hope.I am stuck on this house anyways~I love it here I was just freaking out over the freaky ex boyfreind of My daughter & My hubbys RA...I was over reacting.
Anyways..~So glad I inspired the yard sale stop~I love yard sales! If it wasn't for them & thrift stores I would have stayed broke & dressed awful with all my weight loss....They saved me a small fortune!Cause I could not have afforded brand new clothes and did everything else we needed. ~Anyways I am off to bed super sleepy gotta pay some bills tomorrow before the first of the month rush starts...& hopefully I have a pleasant tomorrow & Everyone else on here does too~HUGS Y'all!

MAY WE ALL REACH OUR GOALS & MAINTAIN THEM~WE WILL IF WE NEVER GIVE UP! (hugs*)
