good afternoon just got home from Jason's deili and that turkey wrap was so good. And I had some fruit along with it. Not bad in calories. I'm so proud of myself. I also did 2 1/2 hours of water arobics before they ladys headed to Jason's. Nice group of ladys and gentlemen from the different classes. Really enjoyed it. I just wish my husband would join me but I know that isnt happening. I'm just glad he lets me do what I enjoy. Well I will ck in later have a good rest of the day.:wave::dust:

challenge to lose 5 lbs

261 1/2>>>>>>>>>258:swim:>>>>>>>>>>>>2 lbs to go>>>>>>>256 1/2:dance:

This weight is not budging! Had 1275 cal. today, no junk, just good food. I hope the scale is nice to me tomorrow.

I made myself a challenge to lose 5 pounds before Nov. 1 (this was last week) I was thinking it might be hard to do since I just came aboard Sunday. So far this week I've kept my calories at around 1200 and I've worked out 2 times This IS my biggest step because I absolutely HATE to exercise. I'm not sure why either because I feel so much better afterwards but getting me in our gym is a HUGE task in itself. I got on the scale this morning and I am down 4 pounds!! My husband told me I shouldn't have weighed until Sunday (my weigh in day ) because now I'll expect more of a loss than 4 pounds and may be disappointed. (and he's probably right) but for now I'll ride my cloud cuz I'm down 4 pounds!:carrot:

hi everyone just reporting in calories for today is 1040 which is in my goal. hope everyone has a good nights rest. have a big workout planned at the gym tomorrow which is machines, tredmill and water arobics class so I need some much needed rest tonight myself. gn all

OH & to jiggle before I log off~I am a tightwad on stuff like that & $20 bucks sounds like way to much to me too! I hope u feel better soon!

I'm feeling great today.

Lori - You are looking HOT!!! I was hoping to make it bigger so I can see how great you look. So much for that big idea.
Bigmama - You are doing so well. Where are you pics I know you are looking good with those great workouts!!
Memoree - Congrats on the progress. Sometimes the hubby will say the darndest things...mine does.
Fruitlady - The scale will come around...just keep away from the junk food.

I think I'm have a moment with my body because I wanted to be smaller than I am but I like the idea that I actually reached a size 14 in less than a year. My co worker that gave me clothes last week gave me more Tuesday. Well they are all size 12. I told her I think she has learned my motivator and is really pushing me towards my goal, in a loving way...the clothes are really cute too. I can wear a couple of the large and XL shirts but some of them aren't as forgiving of the arms. So I will be working on them starting tonight.

:hug: Jiggle Just click to make them bigger...I uploaded 2 recent pics(the avatar one & another one) this way so u can just click them to make them bigger.... U have came so far & Always was cute as a button ~U get cuter with every new avatar pic I see & soon will be ~jiggle free~Except we all should have a little JLO(Jennifer Lopez) if possible (in my opinion so I am trying to keep some curves but Delete my flub while toning If that makes since ~LOL~Gotta go~Will TYPE AGAIN LATER~KIDS ARE HOME FROM SCHOOL. BUS JUST PULLED UP.:D

EVERYONE HAVE A SUPER WEEKEND!

WOW Lori you look so good and I see you lost what I'm working on now just weighed at the gym and I was 256 1/2 I think I just met my challenge for Nov 1 :dance: I will post later tonight and I will double ck and make sure. :wave:

O EM GEE Lori you look amazing. I appreciate the update so I can see. It gives me such hope that I will make it to goal.

Hello All! I've been MIA:dizzy: But im still alive and well in the world! :)

I haven't been doing too great this week, had some small binges tuesday and wednesday night but kicked that habit fast last night! I vowed to NEVER binge again...even put up a ticker on my blog to remind myself everyday.

But on the bright side my workouts have been great!! I wish i could lose weight just by working out...wouldn't that be awesome? :lol:

Anyways...just letting you guys know that im still around and trying to get my act together! No real damage done...only 2lbs up from my lowest so im not doing to bad:)

:hug: and Later Gators

Lori- your photos are so nice, now who's the skinny mini? lol

misspriss- Hang in there, your not to far away from your goal. You can do it!

As for me- The scale is finally moving down, lost 2.7 lbs. as of this morning. Had 1305 cal. today, I seem to lose faster if eat between 1220-1300cal. right after two days of over eating. If I eat 1000- 1100, I lose slower. I also realized that eating tuna for dinner stalls my weight loss when I'm trying to lose water. The sodium is too high, canned tuna has added salt, did you know this?? Skinless chicken works really good. Good luck to all!

Gah. I worked out this morning at the gym and then went for a bike ride later and my appetite is through the roof! I've eaten a bit over my goal calories for the day but I'm not going to let it bother me - I'm slated to ride my bike for 10 miles tomorrow so that should help!

THANKS Y'all I love each & everyone of you & your comments made me feel super.

OK I AM BLABBING
TTYL ~HUGS TO ALL!

Hey guys...stopping by for some pesonals!

LORI...OMG!!! Were so alike girl! After my son was born my hair fell out steadily in the crown area and i was ready to wear a wig. Its was heart breaking:( I started taking hair,skin and nail vitamins and they worked pretty good. I never went to a dermatologist but pretty much narrowed it down to my last pregnancy, i had gestational diabetes. That, plus all the stress with giving myself shots everyday and sticking to a strict diet had to be the culprits of the hairloss. I really don't feel that my hair will recover completely but its getting there. I use to highlight my hair and use a flat iron, can't do that anymore. The only thing I do now is blow dry it maybe twice a week. I've thought about trying the rogaine @ walmart. Can you really tell a difference? And thanks on the comments about my avatar:)

Jiggle-Your looking sensational girl, high fives on all your hard work!

FruitLady-You'll be back down in no time! I hate to see you upset about it:( I love tuna too but hate all the sodium,arg!

Jules-Awesome job on the workouts! On days that I get in killer workouts i get hungry too...do you drink protein powder? It seems to help curve my appetite on those days.

Memoree-Congrats on your weight loss so far, thats fabulous! I weigh in on sundays too...but if the # is lower on other days i take that # for the week hehe

sandcar-congrats on the loss

bigmamatexes-Do you follow baseball? I hear the texas Rangers are going to the world series,yay! Nice going on your workouts and eating!

NorthernExposure-WTG on your weight loss too! Have a safe flight!


rainbowstripe-Hope you will find the inspiration that you need for your painting soon! congrats on your weight loss!

ok, gotta scoot! Just wanted to do some personals! Everyone have a great day:) Were taking the kids to a pumpkin patch place that also has a huge corn maze and hay rides...the kids are so excited,lol. I am too...finally getting out of the house;)
