Does anybody have plans for Labor Day Weekend? I know how these special weekends can sometime throw a rod into our losses but if we plan a little in advance, mentally and otherwise, we can do it!!!! :carrot:

We are suppose to go to a bar-b-q. My plan is to bring some extra vege's to throw on the grill and bring my own salad dressing.

Chuggin right along
 

Well my TOPS weigh in is tonight. I hope that I didn't gain. When I lose so much in one week I usually have a gain the next. Here's praying I don't. Me and my boyfriend have been counting calories. I have been staying around 1600. So I am proud. The said thing is that when I lost all my weight I will have lost my boyfriend. He weighs about the same as I need to lose :(...Thats depressing. But the way he put it think about carrying him around all the time. YIKES!!:fr:

I haven't been so good at exercising the last couple of days but I am going to get back on it!!:lifter: :strong: :yoga: :bike2:

Its been hard not having cokes :(...I LOVE COKE. its YUMMY :dance: But to get rid of this weight I must part ways.

I will hop on tonight and see how it goes. I hoping to do super good for Christmas!!

Later Ladies.

Jennifer

Hello everyone:wave:

I was wondering if I can join you're club. Pretty,pretty Please.. I am going back to California for X-mas and I want my family to see me fit. This would be a Great motivator. The last time I was in California I just had my son and I I weighed 176. I dropped since then. I had went down to 156 and recently went back to 165:cbg: and now 162. So I am trying:dizzy:

Well, ya'll have a GREAT Day and drink your WATER:D

Welcome Jelly!!

Jump aboard!

I feel rather like all I make is excuses recently. About four years ago I fell down a flight of concrete stairs and hurt my ankle (and decided NOT to see the doctor) now the ligaments and tendons are messed up. So on friday I was trying to increase the intenisty of my workout by adding just a 3% incline and increasing the speed. Well...bad idea. It really managed to hurt my foot. So I've taken some time off from walking...

then on top of that my last semester began and I have to plan out a new exercise plan that doesn't involve early morning workouts.

So to help motivate me I was thinking of what my weightloss motivation was, selfish and unselfish, and I would love to read about other peoples as well.

Motivations...
1)Get healthy
2)Be more attractive than my sister
3)increase my self esteem
4)rub looking fit and healthy in the faces of people that think I'm fat...(most selfish)

Hey everyone!!!!!
 

Haven't posted in a week. Sorry!!!! IF you notice my ticker it went up a pound. Not discouraged yet - still eating right, exercising and drinking that water and I am sure the scale will be kinder to me on Friday. ;)

claura: Great IDEA! I saw this on another thread.
MOTIVATIONS:
1. So my thighs don't rub together anymore.
2. Wear those adorable sleeveless tops. Or am I getting to old for that now?
3. Feel better about myself.
4. To make my husband more proud of me then he already is.

:welcome2: Jelly!!!!!! Scoot on in here.

Goinggoal: I am going to a POOL PICNIC at my cousins house this weekend. Please help me stay away from the beer. :mad: I agree, having a plan ahead of time is the best strategy.

TREE: I agree, this thread needs to be back up at the top. Congrats on your NSV. I know that made you feel incredible. :hug:

NewDay: Oh, how I know about the evil scale. I bought a new scale just last week, so hence the weight loss I had is not the weight loss I have now. Go figure. So I just adjusted my ticker and started over with new scale. Doesn't matter - if whatever scale is going down then you are doing great, cuz it is going down.

JasonsLea: Thanks for stopping in. Hey :wave:

Owira: Hope you are feeling better soon and up and about. I will send good vibes your way.

DeafinlySmart: I think that was a great idea about the first two weeks of school. What a great NSV for you as well, adding veggies and not eating all the fries. Way to go!

Well, chickadees! I will post tomorrow, I won't be a week again. Stay OP! And hello to all the others I didn't mention. Hope you are having a great week and a great day.

I will go back and read everybody elses post after I respond to yours.

I definately know how you feel about one problem after another. I felt like this summer was an endless supply of doc appts from a podiatrist, physical therapist (I had problems with my feet), phychiatrist (bipolar meds management), denist, regular md (ibs, mastitis), ENT (ear infection), dermatologist (skin infection--allergic reaction to meds) and so forth. I wanted to yell to someone upstairs that I'm ONLY 31! It was endlessly frustrating, but believe it or not, my diet was one thing I COULD control. Good luck to you. You really can do it. I have my ups and downs too.

I ate melon for breakfast, salad for lunch, and chilli for dinner (measured it out).

I'm used to 5 times a day, but I'll get a balance soon. I also drank 3 waters and will drink the 4th (making 64) with my meds at bedtime.

Hello Christmas Chicks
 

Hi there girlies,
It has been a few days but I have been pretty good. I am going to try to weigh on fridays...I usually weigh everday but it makes me kinda crazy.:dizzy:
I need to get some more exercise this week. I have kinda slowed down. ..but know it is so important to my loss. I t seems like if I exercise the weight just falls off..knowing this you would think that I would exercise all the time...but no...lol. Lately I have been getting alot of exercise running away from my hubby...he will not leave me alone..lol...I asked him today what he will do when I lose another 50 pounds...he had the most evil smile on his face. I love having him think I am cute again...Note to self...buy some new running shoes.
Jennifer- I hope your weigh in goes well. You have been doing great. I call the week after a big loss a hangover week....hope you don't have a hangover week.

I know what you girls are talking about with the scales....I actually am to a weight that a regular scale can weigh me...yay!! Obviously, I have alot more to go but it is nice to be able to keep track at home.

Your motivation... not having your thighs rub together... is at the top of my list, too! I am a "bottom heavy" girl anyway, so I know it will be a long time until my thighs can pass one another freely without always rubbing, but I SOOOO look forward to it.

I took him for a walk and beat him!!!
 

Oh for heavens sake it is not what you think!!!! Especially you Owira....lol...I took my hubby who is slim and trim for a walk with myself and our dog and he had to to ask me to slow down several times. Finally he sat on the bench and watched the river while my dog and I finished the walk and came back to pick him up. I have been trying to get him to quit smoking and doing a bit more exercise...I think I might have got him. :carrot: pretty bad when the fat girl and the dog with a bad leg can beat ya....yup!
Owira...I am sorry you are having trouble...I love to read your posts...you crack me up. Hope you are doing well... Leslie

Hi all,

Pardon me while I whine.
I just cannot seem to stay on this dang wagon!!!. My birthday was the 28th and I ate whatever I wanted, because I was depressed, no one remembered my day :cry:, including my boyfriend :frypan: and now I can't get it together. TOM is not helping. I am extremely hormonal and I am extra hard on myself right now. I don't look or feel particularly attractive. My bestfriend is mad at me, I am mad at my boyfriend...and I need to scream. :tantrum: That . is . all.
Today will be a better day. I Hope :crossed:

I have a digital scale that lies. LOL. Not really. But if you lean to one side you can be down as much as two pounds. haha.

Not much on this front. Work and home have been stressful, my neck is broke out horrible. It has been about 1 1/2 years since I had stress zits on my neck.

Anyway have a grand day everyone.

Annie
