Wow, such nice happy posts today, I love good news...
Susie - Yay on that pound, that must feel fantstic after all your difficulties lately, I'm super proud of you for sticking with it!
SG - Yuppers, I think she will be much better in the long run and she's a really amazing lady. Once the biting sting of rejection goes away I'm sure she'll be much better off. on the panties, you rocked it this month! And LOL I'm pre-low carb weight now too and the funny thing is my diet is like 70% carbs now, hehe but the bonus is I'm not crazy this time! for supprtive hubbies mine never breathed a word either, even after all the quit smoking weight, the baby weight, just loved and supported, it was very nice.
Sandye - Yay new bra! They make ya feel like a million bucks! See things are brightening up for dh already You must be wipped out today, that's like staying up until 4am for the rest of the world! Glad the baking turned out good, we tried out a sweet potato wedges recipe yesterday, they smelt like pumkin pie, it was heveanly. So have you figured out your P90X dilema yet? It's almost October and you need to start soon . And TOM's still not here, hyper-ventilating is beginning at 8pm sharp.
Mystical - LOL, you're sweet, I just hate seeing ppl screwed over and those kids are so precious and my dad did the same thing to us but I was 7 months old and don't remember so I think I take this stuff a little personally too. Her dh is suffering the wrath of a lot of woman right now, lol. You did your entire weekly menu? That's awesome and just watch how easy it is to coast through a week when you don't have to figure out how to stay in your calories, it's fantastic! And then it's so much easier not to be ruled by "moods." And down 4lbs this is a banner month for you and I bet October will be better!
It's another cool day round these parts today and a little dark, kind of a baking day I think. I'll see if maybe I can premake some meals for next week to lighten the load a bit and keep me warm! Just stretching today but otherwise a blissful day off and tomorrow back to full force month 2 of p90x which is awesome. Down another 0.6 today to hit 164.2, the 150's are so close I could split on them, but then I'd risk offending them and I'd never see it. So I''ll wait patiently for that and TOM who is still sadly missing
Good morning ladies!
Tummy--that is HORRIBLE about that lady's husband. Not that I think it is the most sensitive thing in the world, but I could understand a husband losing the physical attraction to his wife if she had bulked up alot, and maybe needing to talk about it and see what they could do as a couple.... But to just up and tell your wife that you don't love her because she is fat and she needs to take the kids and leave?!?!?! That is atrocious. I wonder if there is something else involved there (another woman or something like that), especially since he doesn't want to see the kids anymore either. Anyways, glad to hear she has someplace to move and a supportive family and friends. Take him to the cleaners ladies! What a jerk.
Well, if your scale is still going down in the beginning, it must not be the horrific TOM I am having. Apparently I get him all to myself. Yay me! It is probably cuz you're getting so ripped you just skipped right over it this month or something!
Susie P and Ms P--Congrats on the loss! :carot:
SG---Goal----W2G!!!!! You rock! (And yes you are not the only one who weighs after peeing lol. My morning routine is wake up, pee, and then weigh with the bare jammies on for extra weight. If I had to go get on a real scale later in the day, I would probably revolt!) You are doing such a great job and are going to be in onederland sooooooo soon!
Oh, and glad to know you don't think I am cheating by running the segments all together....I sometimes feel like I am cheating cuz it gets it over so much sooner, lol.
Inthemidst--I'm sure you didn't eat enough calories in your celebration to gain 3 pounds--probably just water weight and such from sodium or extra carbs. Just stick on plan and drink lots of water, and hopefuly the scale will drop by the end of the month so you can get to your goal!
Sandye--Ooh laa laa! A Victoria's Secret fitting! Woohoo! Have fun and get something awesome! Those splurges always make you feel so much more special sometimes.
Mystical--W2G on the 4 pounds!
Well TOM is STILL freakin here. I can't believe it. I wonder if losing all this weight is sending my body into shock? Well, when I got up and found TOM was still hanging around, you all were about to encounter a very cranky me, however I got on the scale today, and it has moved down, which is at least negating the bad vibes from being on my period for so darn long. The scale was down to 251.5 today (don't normally deal with 1/2 pounds, but I am claiming this one d*mnit!), which means I still had 2 1/2 lb loss for the week, which I will happily take after the scale spending so many days going up. Sigh, I still just really want TOM to go away already so I can finally get back on track. 2 weeks is enough, TYVM! Anyways, now that the scale was down today, I am a little more hopeful that I might make Sept goal! Keeping my fingers crossed.....

Good morning, chickies! So much going on this week! Wish I had time for personals, but I am execting a housefull in two hours. We're celebrating my dad's 88th. I made chicken enchiladas from Cooking Light, will toss a salad and call it a go.
Over the last four days I gained, and lost, just .4, and I lost a little more. I am sitting at 170.8! Almost to the decade that used to be my all time high! I also had a NSV of sorts. For the first time in 8 or 9 years, I tucked my shirt in! AND went out in public!
Tummy Girl I know what your talking about with taking it personally. My first husband did the same thing to me after we had been married 12 years. He was the only one I had ever dated I started dating him at 16 and got married right out of highschool at 17. Then me with 3 children all on my own. It was so hard for me but I did become a better person and mother going through all of that. I later met a wonderful man that took care of of my children as his own. We have been married 10 years now. Wow how time flies LOL... He has been in my children's life since my oldest was 9 and my youngest was 4 so he is really the only father they have ever know. Wow can't believe I shared all that... I don't usually talk about my life.... I guess it is new me.. Time to release all those old feelings.. LOL have a great day thanks for listening...
Jessicado - I'm hoping you're right, praying really that you're right about TOM. And yes we shall make sure he is taken care of Glad your scale is moving down again!
LTTG - Holla! WTG on the shirt, that's fantastic. Have fun at dinner!
Mystical - I know that it took me a bad relationship (8 years ugh) to appreciate this good one when I found him, sometimes those nasty ones serve a purpose in a crazy backwards kind of way but I know for me at least I would never have dated my dh if I hadn't learned a very hard lesson before him about "bad boys" It sounds like you have yourself a gem there too, after all he did drag you up to Canada
Hey ladies, I just took my P90X one month pictures and although heavily edited b/c my belly and cellulite are stil private matters this is just the difference in my arms in one month, it's crazy. And my arms have always been a hated part of my body, bat wings, you know, it's gross.
Just a quick update as I am at work again. The scale hates me I lost absolutly nothing and the Wii confirmed it. Its a good thing I made my Sept goal last week as next week is TOM again. I am not in good spirits but will get over it. I also bought a new scale and it shows a difference of 4.6lbs and not in my favor.
Well enough whining. I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Tummy -
Take it from me - he has another woman (or man).
When men leave a marriage it's because of someone else - another woman, man or mom
When women leave a marriage inevitably she'll say
- " I just can't take it any more!"
If it's not that - then it's another man or woman.
I first heard that bit of wisdom from a divorce lawyer with 45 years of experience.
I've since then found it is almost always 100% true.
My heart goes out to your friend. She doesn't realize it yet, but she's much better off without him.
Be sure to tell her when she's ready to hear it, that the best revenge is living well

Tummy
Holy Crap! That is just one month?!!?!?!? I actually have the whole p90x program downloaded to my ipod touch, but haven't started it yet. You have motivated me to get my butt in gear! That is amazing muscles you have gained in such a short amount of time!
BTW--did you do the whole p90X nutrition as well? When I figured out my info, it was ALOT more calories than I am eating now, so am kinda afraid to try that part.....

Wow! Too much to cover to do personals. Yay! for thsoe with losses, and for others who are maintaining or gaining, just do the right things and finish the month strong. It's not over yet!!
The weekend has been great, but not especially relaxing. I think tomorrow morning is going to come much too early. I'm gonna hop off here now so I can enjoy some QT with DH and then get some good sleep before my early run tomorrow. Catch you all tomorrow!
Tummy - That picture is great! I haven't been taking pictures but you have inspired me. I am loving P90X. I am having really bad achilles pain and am seeing the doctor on Tuesday. Hopefully it will be nothing that a cortisone shot can't fix as I don't want to take a break from this program.
So a quick drop by. I've been a little stressed with the first week of school, so I haven't dropped in. I haven't been eating the greatest, but I've been sticking to my work outs. I went sort of chocolate crazy since I stopped the coke habit; the whole caffeine thing. I haven't had a soda today at all.
My weight has stayed within a few pounds of the same weight. And tomorrow starts the cutting back significantly on the sweets aka, chocolate. I was starving and grabbed a chocolate bar my mom bought for charity. And my teeth were screaming at me. I had to stop two bites in. I don't usually have sensitivity problems, so that was a big wake up call. At least I have red seedless grapes from Costco to fill my need of sugar.
Well, I will stop in very soon ladies! I have to go finish my homework.
Hey ladies! I have been mia for a few days, but we just got back from Seattle this afternoon. I didn't eat very well, but we did walk a lot and even went for a hike Friday afternoon. I am needing a good ol butt kicking starting tomorrow. I am having too many off plan days and I need to stop. Me and my boyfriend are going to start south beach diet tomorrow. We went and stocked up on a bunch of veggies and chicken breasts/lean steak. Wish me luck, I hope I can do it.
Morning ladies! Super quick post before I wake up the boys to get ready for school. Got my workouts in and now it's time for the morning rush! I'll be back soon for personals and such.
Imdedicated!!! Glad to have you aboard!!!
Hey, been thinking about FSA...where are you chickie? October is getting close and we haven't seen you much this month!
Okay, let the choas begin!!!! **TWEET** (that would be my coach's whistle )
No time for personals, just checking in quick from work.
I am in absolute agony this morning and was for most of the night as well. Yesterday the hubby and I ate Taco John's and while I did look up the nutritional information and stayed well within my calorie limit, I doubt I'll ever eat there again. After eating healthier food for so long, my system just cannot handle the cheese and grease I consumed yesterday. It's absolute misery. One of the reasons I started wanting to be healthier is that I'd acquired IBS and since I started eating healthier I've had it flare up ONCE and that was before my oral surgery so chalk that one up to nerves... well it's in full force right now, making me absolutely miserable and wouldn't you know it... I just now remembered that I have medication for it. DOH! Too bad it's at home. I got the stuff about 2 days before I started my diet and exercise program so I've never had to use it! Well crap, at least I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel for tonight.
Never eating grease again.
It's totally not worth it.
on the panties, you rocked it this month! And LOL I'm pre-low carb weight now too and the funny thing is my diet is like 70% carbs now, hehe but the bonus is I'm not crazy this time! 
for supprtive hubbies mine never breathed a word either, even after all the quit smoking weight, the baby weight, just loved and supported, it was very nice.
You must be wipped out today, that's like staying up until 4am for the rest of the world! Glad the baking turned out good, we tried out a sweet potato wedges recipe yesterday, they smelt like pumkin pie, it was heveanly. So have you figured out your P90X dilema yet? It's almost October and you need to start soon 
. And TOM's still not here, hyper-ventilating is beginning at 8pm sharp.
this is a banner month for you and I bet October will be better!
Imdedicated!!! Glad to have you aboard!!!
