For the love of Peter, Paul and Mary! You ladies just never stop chatting do you?
Hee hee! I'm never going to get caught up at this rate! Forget about waking up early to exercise--I'm going to need to wake up early just to catch up here!
Okay, lemme try to do a few personals...*deep breath*...okay, here goes nothin'!
First of all let me say thanks to everyone who understood the looniness of my sharing the new panty buying thrill. It's not everyday that I can announce to the world that I'm no longer wearing granny panties and have people cheering me on.
So thanks for the congrats girls!
Jacqui ~ Hope you're getting some better sleep! I used to be a total night owl before I started all this--not anymore! I went to bed at 9:30 last night *yawn*!!! But I know what you mean, I went through phases too where I'd stay up all night and then be dragging the next day. Psst...have you eaten breakfast yet?
FSA ~ I was curious as to how many pounds we had lost collectively in May--80 lbs is a lot! That's more than my 8 yr old weighs! We lost more than a whole person!!!
Delphi ~ Oh MY! Running down the street in your unmentionables? Now won't that be a sight! You better be sure to have some burly bodyguards nearby to beat back the masses of hunky men who'll want to chase after you!
And yeah, "woo hoo on the panties" :lmao: Oh My Goodness!! Hahahaha Who knew my new panties would be the source for a new catch phrase?! *snort* Thank you for the super encouraging words, I love your uber long posts--so keep 'em coming!! And do I really want to do this? **** YEAH!!
Gatorgirl~ I hope your test went well and that the upcoming one goes well also!! Keep up the hard work and it'll be over in no time! Bravo for getting your water in first thing in the morning! Keep that up and I won't have to get nutso on you for not drinking your water!
Blondie~ bummer about the scale! Time for a new one! Congrats on making it so long without carbs!! Back when I did Atkins (10 years ago now) that was so hard on me!
Glutio~ tummy troubles are the worst! And isn't just rotten luck when you have them during a time you need to know what your weight is? Sundays are my official WI and measurement taking day, as luck would have it, I was bloated as all get out last Sunday! Argh! I was almost an inch and a half smaller in the waist on Monday! Ah well, no biggie, but it still stinks! Hope you're feeling better soon!
Dollypie~
Good for you girl! That's the way to do it! Before long you'll be hitting that eliptical and breezing through it! Just keep it up and soon it'll become a habit you can't break!
URockMom~ yeah, weighing in daily can be a bummer when you see the same numbers day after day...do whatever makes you happy girl! Me, I need to see those numbers daily! It totally keeps me on track. When I decide not to step on the scale in the morning, it's usually because I'm getting sick and tired of the whole 'eating healthy, exercising thing' and I'm ready to hop off the wagon. You're doing the right thing--plugging along staying on plan--it'll pay off!
Lene~ Heya girlie! OMGoodness I was dyin' when I read that you're afraid I'm going to go all comando on you about your water!
You're rockin' that water girl!!
Yay! I'm glad to have a HIIT partner!
Although I bet you'll be tearin' it up on your elliptical while I'm stuck looking like a drunk monkey huffing and puffing during my jogs outside.
Either way--
Yes, I read that you do HIIT 3X a week, and I'm alternating my strength training also. M,W,F ~ ST'ing, T,TH,S ~ HIIT Sun ~ Off (which I still haven't wrapped my head around yet--it's been over a month since I had a day off of exercise!!!). Here's a cool website on HIIT~ http: //www .intervaltraining .net/index.html I'm doing the Lose your Belly Fat workout. PM me if you wanna chat HIIT k? Btw, what kind of ST'ing are you doing? Psst...did you take your vitamin today?
NSM~ Awww, I'm so proud of you! Now everytime you fill up your glass--picture me jumping up and down like a loon in a cheerleader's outfit k? I'll be screaming: Gimme a N, Gimme a S, Gimme a M--what's that spell? NSM!
Seriously though, glad to hear you're getting your water in, it really is so important!!!
Congrats on the loss girlie!! You're on your way!!!
Gekster~
You're going to love it here!
Nello~ bummer about your Sensewear! Keep at it though, it sounds like you're doing a great job!
Jodi~ so glad to see you over on the June thread!!! :hugs: girl!
Saramommy~ glad to see you!!
Couch~ Congrats on the loss! Woo hoo!
Babes~ WTG staying on plan--have you caught up yet?
Man, this thread is crazy long isn't it? LOL
Shari~ girl, don't you hate weeks like that? Sorry to hear you've been having computer issues--I know all about that--ugh! Glad to see you!
RubyJan~ Congrats on Day 1!! You're doing great, keep it up!!
Velveteen~
Another Kg poster huh? Well, sooner or later I'll figure it out!
Kick off your shoes and make yourself at home!
Michelle~ don't worry about that pound--just shake it off, you keep at this and you WILL make your goal!!! You CAN do it!!
Susie~ ooh baking is the devil! I love to bake but while I'm in the losing phase of my new lifestyle, I can't. I'll need to take baby steps back into it. But you'll do great! Hey, if you start to feel like binging this afternoon--just come back here and we'll snap ya out of it!
OMGosh! I did it! I sure hope I didn't miss anyone! Whew, that was a workout in and of itself!
So how is everyone this gloomy, wet and rainy morning? Yes, yet another storm is sitting over us and so it looks like our plans for heading to the park have been cancelled. Ah well, I do have stuff to do here anyway and having to stay home will maybe motivate me to do it. Maybe.
I am dyin' over the new catch phrase ladies! Who knew me buying new panties would spark something like that?
Not much new to report. Sitting at 171.6 today, up a little from Monday, down a pinch from yesterday. I got in lots of veggies yesterday so I'm making progress there. I feel sort of weird with this new exercise plan...I feel like I'm not doing enough. Ladies who do strength training, could you share what your routine looks like? I'm following the Body for Life exercise plan and I'm just not sure if it's enough, kwim?
I wanted to encourage the newbies to take their measurements! I talked about this back in May too ladies and it really does help you to keep track of how your body is changing. It also helps when you don't see your scale moving at all! Muscle weighs more than fat, we all know that, but sometimes when that scale won't budge, it's hard to wrap your head around it. If you are making good food choices and exercising--change is happening! You might not see it on the scale, but if you check your measurements, you might be pleasantly surprised.
So take your measurements!!! Believe me, it might be tough at first, but just think how great it'll feel in a month when you tally up your inches lost!!
Speaking of inches lost: I'm wearing size 14 pants!!!
Woo hoo! Finally, I'm starting to be able to wear Larges and 14s!!!! Crazy how I've lost 25 lbs and I'm just now down a pant size huh? Oh well, it took a while, but it's finally starting to happen!
Okay girls, I gotta go, but I leave you with this:
Ladies, today when you go out into the world, be sure that you have with you your WATER! And when you have your WATER with you, you shall DRINK it! Ya got it? Yeah? Okay then,
Woo Hoo on the panties!!! **** Yeah!!!
June Weight Loss Challenge List of Participants (so far!)
) Oh, and thanks for the tips on the green tea that you shared. I am going to give it a go.
for you and your panties. I did the same thing along the way and was sooooo excited. Now, I am holding out for this month's goal and then there will be new lingerie. 
day ladies!!! (Oh, still no scale movement but I will remain 
and battle forward.) 
to everyone today.
You are doing it lady! You know I did strength training on my own the other day and well I felt like I didn't do enough so today I'm gonna go back to the strength training on the My Fitness Coach. I was so sore after doing it the last time, I was scared to try it again...but I'll be danged if I'm gonna let that virtual babe scare me. So I guess I can't really give you any advice on it. I guess for me I need more structure so I know I'm actually getting a work out. You're doing wonderful ...regardless! 
to our happy-and chatty 
-little group. Sounds like you have have been doing great and 
that it stays down there for Monday so you can be in a new century!!!
on those 2 pounds!!!
