aimee - the thing I liked about ww is there really isn't anything you can't have. For instance, you can have pizza but go for the thin crust with lots of veggies. If you want fast food, instead of the #1 supersized, you can get a kids meal. I loved that I didn't feel like I was depriving myself. So it's ok to eat that stuff once in awhile, the key is to counting your points and logging everything that you eat.

Nikki - I hope everything is ok. I hope you can get back to your healthy eating habits once everything is sorted out. :hug:

courtnie - camping sounds like fun. but it musst be hard to eat right when you do that sort of thing (i.e SMORES!!!)

jen - that's great you found a class that you like. it always makes it easier to get to. hope u had a fun night with ur friends.

shari - you damn skippy that pound will be lost by next weigh in!!! :P

I'm here doing ok, I could be doing better but I do believe I am on my way. Glad you guys are around to keep me company.

Chat with ya later :wave:

So I am sitting here at work in my new lululemon pants... sure they fit but I am starting to think I am still to fat to be wearing lululemon pants in public... how depressing, and to think... I just got 3 pairs! eeks

hi ladies!!! i'm new to the forum, just looking for some support. things have been a little rough lately. i feel like one minute i was doing really good, and the next thing i new, i went back to school, changed jobs and the weight just broke in through the back door and snuck up behind me :o

well, i'd like to join in from time to time and we'll see how this weight loss thing goes

btw - i'm kalinda

:wave: everyone!

:hug: myRo! Love you!

Courtnie, I'm sure you look slammin in those new pants!

Welcome Kalinda!

Well I lied. I didn't lose that 1 lbs this week, I didn't lose anything. I could sit around and pout but I'm really don't have the patience for whining right now. I was a bad girl the last two weeks and I'm lucky I didn't gain. I'll start losing again this week and keep truckin.

Figured out how to fit in my workouts with the new job. Will be able to go up to 4 times a week.

I started my second job yesterday and it's good and bad. Good because it is EASY as **** and my co workers are funny. Bad because it is SO boring and tedious that I get super sleepy REALLY fast! I drank three cups of coffee today and it didn't help. Lucky for me, everyone including the TRAINER gets sleepy too so *shrugs*

Hey Ladies!! So I am ending my day at 27 points! Phew! Glad to be back on track, and hopefully I get to see the 230's very soon!!

Rosario - WW is perfect for the summer for me, I can still eat out and do everything semi normally, it's definitely nice. How are you making out these days? Is it hard with the trial seperation?

Courtnie - I seriously doubt that your pants are bad! I bet they look really good!

Nikki - I am sorry to hear you have some rough stuff going on, and if you need to talk, we are always here!!

Shari - no loss is better than a gain - I'm trying to be positive, how's it working? I think we'll all have those weeks where we are going to stay the same, I'm realizing it's just really important to keep plugging away. Sounds like the 2nd job isn't too bad - I'm nearly jealous over here!!

Kalinda - welcome!!

I am having a hard day with regards to work, I surely hope my days get better. The person training me doesn't want to be training me, I overheard her say that she's never done a training program like this, and didn't fully say she didn't want to train me - but I definitely got the drift. She treats me like I'm just a pain for her to deal with... I'm feeling like I've made the wrong decision. Today she actually says to me " you can't chew gum on the floor", like I don't know this? I've been with the same company, and DO have a lick of common sense! Also seriously, knowing I've worked retail for so long, you'd kinda think I know something. It's just annoying.

-Aimee

everyone
 

thanks for such the warm welcome! so far, i've not done well already. i made the best salad for dinner last night, but i made a cheeseburger to go with it. i'm quite sure that isn't to good. not to mention, as i sit at my desk at work right now, i'm really trying hard not to go to the vending machine and get some m*m's - i must be strong, but it's been a bit of a rough day and to top it all off my coworker and I went to grab lunch and she got on her cell phone as soon as we walked out the doors and stayed on it the entire time - it wasn't really bad, it was just that i didn't want to hear her conversation. i don't like being in close proximity when people are discussing personal affairs, it's not my business...
well only a few hours left - no big deal. everyone have a good day!

Kalinda-Welcome! Vending machine cravings are the worst! I found that if I keep healthy snack in my desk (Nuts, granola bars, fruit, crackers) I'm not as tempted, also, it feels like a treat when I get to dive into my "stash" of food.

Courtnie- I'm sure you rock those pants :) Also, I'm totally jealous of you and all your camping adventures! We've got a burn ban for all of Washington and Northern Idaho, so campfires, and by proxy, most camping is out for the summer.

Aimee- I completely hear you girl! I just finished some training at my job and it was the exact same thing! The woman training me was so detached from everything and treated me like an inconvenience. I cried.. a lot. It's frustrating to start a new position because there is a period where you are not good at what you're doing and you don't have answers for all the questions, but you don't want to be treated as such! When I finished I was given evaluation forms to fill out about my trainer, does your work have anything like this? You will get through this, I promise :hug:

As for me, my night out with my friends quickly dissolved into just my gym buddy and me, and we decided that it probably wasn't the best idea for us to go stuff ourselves with booze and desserts without the rest of the group. I ended up joining my dad for dinner and made it home just before a huge storm blew through. Yikes! I switched shifts at work and I'm now working graveyard. We'll see how this goes, it's just always tough to figure out when to eat, you know? My 4am is like a normal person's dinnertime, but I just can't eat then. It will all sort out. I just have to keep on top of my points!
Thanks for the support gals! Keep up the good work!

Hi kalinda welcome aboard !

Jen-Good luck with the graveyard shift


Aimee- Thanks for the support.


I am back home now and go to work in a little. I cant wait until tonight so I can get some rest. This has been a **** of a week. I am not even stresing myself by getting on the scale. I will wait til next wednesday.

Nikki

Welcome Kalinda!!

Aimee - sorry to here you are having a hard time with the new job - I think every job is like that, people hate training other people - its too bad they have to be so rude about it. Don't let it bug you :)

Things are going pretty good with me, looks like I am going to have a decent loss this week - hopefully I can keep it! Tomorrow night friends and I are going for sushi and I am sure there will be more dinners out over the weekend and next week - but I will be good and try not to eat too much cake ;)

Hey! Things are going SO much better - I decided to forget about the manager and just really focus on getting my customer service in this dept better. It's working! I helped a customer and her young daughter pick out her first makeup! She wanted some crazy bright colour, her mother wasn't impressed, so I showed her some gold shadow and a sheer, shiney lip gloss. Her mom was happy and so was the girl. I felt really good about that :)

Jen - Thank you, I totally appreciate it! There is no evaluation :( But I know that in the new age of the company I am working for that she's not going to make it.. she puts off customers, and the dept doesn't do well because of it. Goodluck with graveyards - I couldn't do it! I would say just make sure you are eating every few hours, keep the metabolism up!

Nikki - I wouldn't weigh in either, you just don't need to add that to whats going on in your life. And I just have to say it again - we are always here for you!

Courtnie - I totally love training! I am a little crazy though! When are you gonna weigh in? i can't wait to hear about the results!

Well I am BUSHED, so I'm gonna go lay on the couch and hit the sack early. Have a good one - be good.. all of that :)

-Aimee

So I added my points for the day and I'm ending at 34 - it would have been 31 except Josh made me a cocktail - tummy but was 3 points. Now I'm off to bed!

-Aimee

Aimee- Way to go on keeping your points in track.

I bit the bullet and weighed myself today. I managed to lose 4 lbs this week despite the TOM and stress. Go me :carrot: I finally broke the 150's I weigh 147 now :)

Nikki - congrats on breaking those 150's!!

So I woke up sick, I was worried this might happen, and so I've been trying to take care of myself all week - no bad foods, getting as much sleep as possible. And then I woke up with a fever, sore throat and massive headache. I can't call in because I just can't, and so I'm going to go there and talk to the manager. Well, here's the problem, I now DO get sick days, but I think it looks BEYOND bad to be taking 1 in the first week! I am hoping to talk to her and get her to just delete my shift - I'm not required to work 40 hours a week, so 32 is just fine. I just feel like a crappy person :( But at the same time, I feel super nasty. Hopefully she'll just delete it and no one but her and I will ever know. I better go get dressed, hopefully I'll be home by 9am to passout and wake up at 9pm feeling all better!!

-Aimee

nikki - way to go on your loss!!!!

aimee - hope u fell better.

BBL

Aimee - sorry to hear you are sick; hope you are feeling better this soon!

Scale this morning said 160.4 - down 1.6! I think it is probably even more then that because I ate a horrible dinner - but it works for me and hopefully I wont gain too much this weekend with drinking and eat out!
