Rosario - uhm, totally!! I honestly believe that Spencer is a jerk - but at the same time I think it's all about publicity for the upcoming season. Lauren looks AMAZING, you can totally see the weight loss! 1 week until the season begins here! Congrats on the weight loss!

I did a workout in hopes of motivating me - hopefully I'll keep them up! I recently found one of my friends again (we'd lost touch), and she now lives super close by... she was my friend who I would go for walks/runs with.. so I'm sure we'll take that up again, she asked me last night if I was still game for going for walks/runs. Obviously I am..

:hug: Courtnie and Aimee. Sorry.

WOOOOT RO! You go baby!

So I got invited to a keg party. No freakin way. I want to go but I know in my heart that I will be too self concious and just scare myself. Damn my pathetic behind.

so yah, I dunno... I feel so close to giving up, argh

I hope to make this week not too bad, I have lots of fresh veggies and fruit that needs to be eaten by Friday and I HATE throwing food away - so that should help

Saturday we leave for Toronto for a week, I know it will be back, but I sware, when we come back I am going to be 100% back on track and get back to exercising.

Down 2.2 this week.

Hey ladies!
I've been a little MIA lately too. I've had family in town and graveyard pretty much kicks my butt otherwise.
I'm on track with my points and I've started a gradual walking/running schedule which is going pretty well, I think I might even be losing a little, I can't really say until next week. I will be thrilled if I can leave August in the 245lbs range.

Shari-Happy Belated Birthday! And congrats on the loss!

Aimee-One thing that helps me stay motivated it to just look at the 5lbs in front of me, you know? It's way easier to think about small attainable goals than a big number (for me) to lose. Good for you for connecting with an old exercise buddy! That will make working out so much more fun!

Courtnie- You have come so far. Look at all your progress girl! History proves that this is a fight you are winning! Keep at it!

Nikki- Woo hoo on the costume. I love that feeling!

Rosario- Way to go on the loss! That is great!

Alright, I'm going to get some more sleep even though it makes me terribly upset to have to sleep during all this sunshine!

Morning everyone! How yall doing?

Hi everyone-

Sorry I have not been around the last week. I am having a bad week. I think I developed asthma I have not been able to breath right for a month now. I thouht it was a cold but it has not gone away. I used the last week when I was really down to eat what I wanted :( I have a gain obviously but I am prepared to start battling it today. I decided to eat right / watch calories as opposed to do atkins and in September I will re evaluate whether I need to go back on atkins.

Hope you are all well
Nikki

Hey everyone. So I stayed the same at this week's weighin. I'm seriously behind on alot of bills, my car is acting up, and I'm just generally depressed. I think I'm going to be living off peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a while.

Hang in there Nikki and Shari!

Where has everyone else gone? Did we move threads again and I missed it?

I think everyone is super busy which I totally understand. TOM started last night which explains the horrible eating and moods last week.

Hi Ladies sorry I have been MIA. I am back and ready to do this now.

How is everyone doing?
Lea I had my TOM last week to it seems to affect everything.

Nikki

WI was MIA today because of TOM. Boy, I'm tired.

im back from toronto and my scale is up to prove it!

but I have started www.countingmycalories.com - I hope this helps me to lose weight! lol I hope it helps me to blog on a site that hopefully people will read... I also hope it gives me a boost to stay on track!

how is everyone doing?

Welcome back Courtnie! I will read your blog! You are right on track! I'm sure some of those pounds are water weight.

Today I went to my doctor to have my thyroid checked out. I'm just so tired all the time. Also, I've been back on my running schedule for about a month and I've barely seen a shift. We'll know what's up in a few days...
Heck, I'm still working off those pounds from vacation back in June!

In other news.. I found a running buddy! I already pre-warned her that I kind of weeze and look ridiculous when I run, she's cool with that. We'll see how this goes :)
Yesterday a Torrid store opened up in my town. You best believe I was one of the first ones there. I'm really excited to have sucha fashionable plus size clothing store in town, I just hope I won't need it for that long ..

Welcome back Court!

Awww Jen! I'm so jealous! I wish there was a Torrid around here.

Hope everyone had a good weekend :)

Hey everyone! How was your weekend?

I guess I might as well jump in! haha

My weekend was great,

Friday night we went for dinner with my cousin, dad, and grandpa.

Saturday was my boyfriend and I's 3 year anniversy - my cousin was actually here pretty much all day (she stayed the night friday) - I was bit disappointed she was here so long but she needed it, things have been really ruff for her and just talking to her I realized she need to talk to a girl about some certain things - she is Christian and works for an organization in LA that helps kids in the 'ghetto' and she doesn't make much money so we took her out and got her shampoo and everything like that that she needed - anyway it was a great day and after we dropped her off my boyfriend and I went and had a really nice dinner.

Sunday we went for a walk on the sea wall and then watched a bunch of house - my boyfriend bought me the DVD's - I just love that show! haha

Anyway that was my weekend pretty much, not really as good eating wise as I want but all well.

So how was your weekend Shari?

My weekend was fine. I thought I had to get a front end alignment along with a bunch of other stuff cause my car was barely driving but it turns out that all I need was a new tire and a pint of engine oil! My windshield wiper broke so I have to replace that and my power steering is still messed up but besides that, my car is driving okay now. I lost my second job because I don't listen to my gut. But my mama, who doesn't know I lost my second job, called me the other day and told me to just go ahead and transfer so I'll be moving by the end of this month apparantly. Weight off my shoulder. Do yall know our challenge is almost over?

I didn't meet my challenge - I can tell you THAT much!! Infact, last week I was UP 14 pounds from my all time low of 240. Not too pleased with that! But I got back at 'er on Wednesday and am down 9 pounds already... trying to relish in it since I know that pace won't ever happen again!

Work is going good - did lots of training, and am now at my new store! We are busy setting everything up, they are still putting the store together - our section is the last to be done :( But it's alright - we are set to go as of Tuesday! The drive isn't too bad either 27 minutes to get there, and about an hour to get home thanks to bumper to bumper traffic!

I hope to be back posting regularly - maybe it'll help that I'm actually on plan this time.. lol.

-Aimee

I know I didn't make goal. I stopped counting or really caring like three weeks ago. Life has been hitting me kinda hard. But I'm trying to get back on track right now. The next two weeks are going to be super busy for me. I'm moving to San Antonio. :)

hey guys!!! i need to get back on track!!! lets come back here and start posting again.....maybe that'll help all of us, y'know?? I need to commit to this 110%.

Aimee - start a new thread. Ur so good with naming the challenges :)

It's called No Fail Fall! Come on over!
