Morning Ladies,
Jessicado -
on that weight chickie, and an even bigger woohoo on the pants that's fanfrickintastic! Congrats on that run, what an amazing accomplishment, great work and wtg pushing yourself still!
Amy - Awww what a hubbie, he's a good one and has excellent timing too, lol.
MsP - Oh preaching to the choir on that one, last week was brutal for me too, it felt like quick sand and I mean we totally know how to do this then all of a sudden we doubt what took off all the weight we already lost. Can't explain these silly brains but hope you're doing better anyway. For my face I'm using this hood type thing, all one piece and it slides over your head, and there's one hole for your face. It has this little pull cord on the side so that you can tighten the hole to cover your mouth and nose while leaving your eyes out, and if it's warm you can pull the hood part down and just use it just for you neck. LOL, that's a long explanation but it doesn't have a name on the tag. My dh uses a fleece hat and neck gaiter as he likes having two separate pieces. I'm like that with calories too, I find that I drift lower over time then have to ramp it back up again, honestly we all like to eat or else how did we all gain in the first place, lol.
Nello - OMG, that's super exciting
who ever thought overweight would be this awesome! Well we all did, but at least we get how incredibly hard you've worked to get there. How's the heel doing?
JasonLea - You're very welcome
Crystal - Have i told you I'm so glad you're back, lol, cuz I am, it's so hard to pick up where you left off and you're doing it, it's just so awesome! WTG on the workout too, we all need ppl like that in our lives, great she's so persistant.
Shasha - I think the weather is shocking to ppl who aren't used to it, lol, we must have thinker skin or maybe that's why the fat is there to keep us warm. I here from ppl who move here from warmer places that it does take some getting used to but since I've only ever lived here -12 is pretty good for winter.
on 240 you're melting. Glad you have fun at the happiest place on earth!
Sandye - I have made a crustless pumpkin pie before and I believe it was pretty good too and I'm sure you could do that with this one. It's not as firm as some of the ones I've made in the past but it holds it's shape and can be cut and everything good pie should do so I don't care if it's a bit jiggly. LOL that makes me laugh, my mom's on meds that make her far more pleasant as well and I think my random funks might just be a very very mild form of what has plauged her so I push through but watch it carefully. How that organizing go spider woman? Ok I have some other books I liked. I enjoyed "the beck diet" for the behavioural psychology side of weightloss, resisting food strategies, keeping your head in the game kind of stuff but not nutritional at all. "In defense of food" by micheal pollan was excellent, about nutrition and such, loved that one. I know how you love miss jillian
and her "Master your Metabolism" book was really great about food additives, "frakenfood" and what sort of food should be making up your diet. "skinny *****" was just hilarious good fun although not necessary my favorite. I like factual research based stuff which is why the china study did it for me. I love ppl's opinions and all but give me some numbers and research over that any day. That's all I can think of for now
Have fun at McDonalds'!
SG - You're doing awesome! 16's already
those dancing fatties are going to be making circles on your siggy in no time. I'm just glad you have internet too, I missed your smiley face in the morning. Oh I envy your treadmill, I'll just sit here envying a minute...ok that's better I'm good.
Nella -
for 174, holy crap girl, where is this coming from all of a sudden, it's like everyone took skinny pills over the weekend, my goodness. only 2 lbs till mini goal and you've got room to spare! I know exactly what you're saying about the baby thing. All we hear is when's number two coming, on and on. But usually I don't mention that we haven't been able to carry another one, not that we haven't tried but ppl think it's crazy to try and lose weight b/f a baby. But from experience, my blood pressure was insane with my daughter and I was 192 at conception and gave birth at 220. Not a huge gain granted but it's just so hard on our bodies anyway why won't we want to give that little bundle the best start, kwim? And if we manage out eating like we have been there shouldn't be no 70lbs tacked on to our behinds either. And nope, I had that issue too, I mean even heavy I still dressed well. I had an office job and I had a beautiful waredrobe and gorgeous shoes some of which are too big now, that broke my heart. My friends were all alughing b/c I could just buy new stuff but it takes years to amass that kind of waredrobe. Fortuntely I am not working now so I can manage with the one pair of jeans that fit me right now but I feel your pain. I'd still go lower though, and little by little you'll get your goal waredrobe after your goal weight.
Kim - Thanksgiving was great, thanks for asking, food was marvelous and didn't remain on my behind, so double marvelous.
on the new weight decade too, that's incredible for one month holy! WTG!
Jellofer - Lol, yup somedays are just bigmac days but hopefully they are in name only and we choose better. Feel better soon and that weight will drop away just like I hope that cold does.
GivTLC - Welcome! These are my lifeline some days so post often and we look forward to getting to know you
Cle -
hope you're having an awesome day.
LTTG - Glad you had a great time, I imagine one night in vegas of eating not so healthy is pretty incredible given what I've seen on tv, the city of temptation! Good for you and glad you're back
Jen 7 - I feel the same way about organic stuff, but what i've been doing is buying organic for the stuff we eat tons of like lettuce and tomatoes and stuff where we eat the skin, apples, strawberries, etc and not worrying about the thick skinned things or stuff I peel. It makes a buck go a bit farther but every little bit helps. And for some of the processed stuff, like granola bars or cereals and stuff I haven't found a huge price difference b/w the natural stuff and the stuff loaded with chemicals/unpronouncable ingredients, I just have to do a lot of label reading at the store.
Fitgirlygirl - Congrats on the weight and so nice to make that for him, I don't know that I could have managed. But you never know until you try, right?
Mystical - Yay on surviving the holiday, now we all have nothing until Christmas! Let us know how the gym went!
Have to head over to play group soon and still need to get purdy. I had a mom call and say she couldn't make it today and she's supposed to be making lunch for us today soooo finally got some stuff made up for a whole bunch of hungry toddlers and they'll just have to deal with less than fancyness, lol.
And today was the first day I missed my run but I was up, dh is on call and had to leave at 3am and didn't get back until it up too late for me to head out. But I did get in my other 2 workouts for today and running will just have to wait until tomorrow. And down another 0.6lbs today to hit 159 on the nose, only 19lbs to go! And it's the end of month 5 for me so that means pictures and measuring today when I have a spare second. And I'm so glad I hit the 159 yesterday, it means my pictures will be 10lbs apart from last month and that's just a thing in my head I like to achieve so I'm thrilled.
Yeah, my treadmill and I started off as such good friends, but now I don't even like to think about running on it. Hmph. Did it again today, blech! Odd how HIIT is no big deal on it, but running 3 miles straight is like getting my fingernails ripped off. Congrats on the loss! Let's hope it's the start of a new trend! I can't wait to read about you hitting Onederland!! 
Congrats on the 14's girlie!!! I'd bet that if you're a 14 in Old Navy you're a 14 in a lot of sizes, if not across the board. While hitting Goodwill I've noticed that Old Navy runs smaller than Tommy, Gap and CK jeans. Sounds like maybe you need to do a little size testing at the mall, ya know, just to be sure and all 
The playdate was okay, a ton of screaming kids all crammed into the play area and my girls sticking to me like glue...sigh...
Good morning ladies!!! Thanks again to all of you for your support.
