Okay....so I have a little something going on
 

SIL is preggars, okay, yeah, good for her.... don't get me wrong I really am excited for her, as she's been trying for years. I've had 2 kids while she's been trying.....anyhoo :devil: I am playing a "game" with myself. I want to see how much weight I can lose in the time it take her to have the baby. She got pregnant about the time I started my "lifestyle change". SO.....If I can lose 2 pounds a week until March (I may be dreaming, but I have the determination and the drive, so we'll see). I will have lost approx. 64 lbs on top of the 25, I've already lost. Making it a grand total of 89lbs! Okay, so there you have it, I have put it in writing and have now made it my mini goal. If I don't make it, I will know that I tried my best. ****, 89, is only a little over my half way mark.

Tiff ~ I found a picture of me from 1994 (when I lived in Utah)....I'll try to scan it and attach it, some time tonight. I was still way over weight, I was 220lbs (I'm 5'6", but I look super tall in the picture, because whoever took it ~I can't remember~ was sitting down), I had just lost about 40 pounds, and my girlfriends and I were partying, because I was getting ready to move to San Diego. aaahhh Man to be 220 again......I NEVER thought THOSE words would be coming out of my mouth!! I need to lose 67 pounds to see that number again. I guess by the time SIL has the baby I may just be there again.... BTW, I STILL have those jeans, in storage! HA

Anyway, I'll try to get it on the computer, I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack when it comes that kind of stuff :^:

Hi All! What a day. Been outside mowing the yard, mowing trails, pulling weeds, moving boulders...ok, they were rocks, but felt like boulders.
Dyan, are u gonna post u're pic here? U'll have to let me know how to do it. I can get them to the attach part, but all my pics are too big (nice pun).
Oh, and the pregnant SIL...I'm in the same boat with my sister right now. She is due first of October. She's always been a little thing...shorter than me and skinny...small boned. This is her third baby, she gets skinny again after birth...unlike me. But, maybe I can loose enough weight that I wont be the one looking like I just gave birth next to her.
Eat'n ok today. Being outside helped. Hope I can keep it up through the evening!
Oh, been meaning to ask...has anyone seen Shallow Hal?

Tig - seen it.

I'm on OT waiting for revisions from boss man. Good thing I have a healthy snack, goodness knows how long we'll be.

DYAN....clean out your cabinets and get rid of that stuff. If that was in my cupboards...OMG, I would be eating it all the time. I have NO willpower at all. :(

As far as the ex...we pay her about $600 a month for 2 kids, but we have them more than she does. Doesn't make sense to me. But I just get mad because she is a bar fly and blows the child support money and doesn't use it for the kids. We still have to pay for everything they need. He should just go for full custody and be done with it. *sigh*

I SAW SHALLOW HAL. Made me sad and pissed off in a way. Like at the end, when she got into the car and it sunk way down on the passenger side. I mean, I get the point of the movie, but I am sensitive about weight jokes and things. I guess I am kind of torn about how I felt about it.

Jo, there are things that I have no taste for now. I agree with the whole milk. YUCK. Soooo thick, I remember when I tried skim for the first time, and thought it tasted like water. It tastes PLENTY rich now.

Um...also regular pepsi...I have no taste for anymore. Too sweet. Everything else, I WOULD still have a taste for if I stuck it in my mouth. Like regular hamburgers. I try to convince myself that those veggie burgers are good, but I would rather have a big ole greasy burger.

Ummm...I am off to ride my bike and then I will get on here later and chat again. I feel "mouthy" tonight!

Hugs,
Tiffany
I think I have a problem. My clothes are fitting better, I measured last night and have lost 4 inches of my hips, 4 from my waist...1 from my chest...and that was all I measured. But I feel fatter than I did when I went on the diet. WHY IS THAT???? When will I start to feel thinner? Anyone else ever feel this way? :?:

Okay....I tried to get a picture, but I can't seem to get my freakin scanner to work :mad: , I have no idea where the software is.... It took me 20 minutes to figure out that it wasn't even plugged in,:shrug: . I totally suck at this! Maybe when DH comes home he can figure it out. Tigerlily if I EVER figure this stupid !@#$% thing out and get it on here I'll let you know how I was able to do it. I know at the top of the forum, it will give you help and tell you the dimension size. I've also seen where one of the adminstrators, Suzzane or Jennifer had someone email them the picture and they did it for them. So that's always an option.

Tiff ~ I guess I have plenty of will power. I've been eating between 1200-1400 calories a day and if I happen to want a snack and it's in my range, then I go for it. But I keep thinking "Nothing taste as good as thin feels", so I've been doing pretty okie dokie.

On the "100lb" thread we have a 30 day challenge going, and we get a point for each (food, Water, Exercise). We each decided what our own goals will be. For me it's 1200-1400 calories a day, 64oz of water and step or 2 miles for exercise (5 days week). I've gotten the max of 3 points a day, since started, except for the weekend. (today is day 10)
I get my water in early and have to tinkle all day long! i walked my 2 miles today and boy am I pooped!

Tig~ I hear ya! After I had my son, I was sitting on the stairs and someone came by and asked when was I going to have my baby! I probably would have been really pissed, except for the way I was sitting, you couldn't tell what was going on. My SIL is NOT thin by any means. We shop at Lane Bryant together, I can't remember what size she was buying. I'm thinking a 22 or 24. But this way I have a goal, a reason, I guess. Something to remind myself of when I don't feel like getting my bootay movin.

I saw Shallow Hal. I thought it had some really funny parts! I don't get offended easily when it comes to being overweight. I take it like a grain of salt.

Well gotta get the kids ready to go watch DH play softball!

:wave:

Well, I take it on myself to become enraged and indignant on EVERYONE'S behalf. ;)

Dyan, I am AMAZED at you! How awesome are YOU???? Wow...I love this thread because when I feel like I can't or just don't want to do this anymore, I read about people who do extraordinary things every day. And you are one of those people! My calorie range right now is roughly 1450-1700 and that is only because that is WW's calorie range for my point range...but I am thinking I need to go a pinch lower on my calories. I am still losing, but....who knows. If it ain't broke, I shouldn't fix it. :)

Well, I reckon I should figure out what I am going to wear to work tomorrow. I have to plan ahead the night before, or I would be late to work every single day. :p

Off to have a bite of dinner... :cbg:
Tiff

I went to camp, saw everyone....ryan was in a bad mood.....lisa was sick.....ryan and lisa not talking to eachother......but it was good to see everyone...i left in tears.....i wanted to stay sooo bad!

Good Morning all

I am soooooo tired, I guess all that running around last weekend is finally catching up. Oh well, only 2 more work days and it'll be the weekend. I am looking forward to it, I am going to the day spa Saturday for a massage and pedicure. Didn't make it to WW last night, got a call about 3:30 yesterday afternoon and a darn tropical depression is sitting out in the Gulf of Mexico staring us down so I decided it would be a good idea to get some supplies just in case. When Allison came in last year I was totally caught off guard.

Kayla - cheer up sweetie, we all have rough times.

Tiffany, Dyan - I hear ya on the ex situation. Mine had custody of our kids for a few years after we first divorced and while they were living in a nice big home, had new cars and boats a full time nanny/housekeeper I was paying child support on my measly income and could barely pay my bills........plus, my kids were here all the time. This sounds horrible OK..........but I got my revenge when she left him(he was sick in the hospital at the time) and guess what he gave me custody almost immediately after she left. Of course the revenge wasn't nearly as sweet as I had imagined since he was sick and later died. I always did what I felt was in the best interest of my kids no matter what price I had to pay personally. I guess I got the most satisfaction from knowing that I had been a great mom even though in some peoples opion they had walked all over me (my ex and his wife).

Hey Dyan, I like your idea, we should all post our pics. My son would have to do mine since I too am computer illiterate. What do you think ladies?

Gosh I tired, but better get ready for work, cute guy is coming into the office today.........think he'll ever notice me? Forget who said it, but I definately am interested in losing weight to get this mans attention. Then again, after being single for so long, I am craving attention period. I have an old good friend (who happens to be a man) who called me up yesterday and he was doing some heavy breathing on the phone,LOL, too bad he is just a friend:lol:

I was just reading over what I've written before posting, boy I sure made a lot of spelling mistakes, forgive me for I am brain dead this morning. Hope you all have a good day.

Good Morning Girls!
About posting a pic...somehow on my end I need to figure out how to make it smaller....less bytes. I asked DH, but he didn't speak slow enough for me. :lol: I'll ask him again.
Finding a pic will be another thing...I hide from the camera. I wish I had the nerve to do "before" pics in a bathingsuit or something. Boy, that might really motivate me...taped to the frig. :fr:
Dyan, "nothing tastes as good as thin feels". I've heard it before, said it before, but needed to be reminded of it!
I had just seen Shallow Hal this week. It left me feeling kinda dumbfounded. It was good that it pointed out inner beauty, but the fat jokes were harsh. I want to watch it w/my BIL cause he is Shallow Jerry. He wouldn't go out with this girl because "one of her thighs was bigger than both of his put together". I wanted to get on my soapbox when he said that...excuse me Mr.Chicken Legs, hasn't gone to the dentist since when, financial disaster.....her thighs were big? Get a Grip Dude!
I'm off to exercise...gonna try to do the 3mile walkaway. :)

Good Morning All......

We got in late last night and I wasn't able to ask DH how to do the freakin thing. Maybe he can scan it this morning and then I can TRY to get it on some how. Okay, so the picture that I'm trying to post isn't a current shot. It's like 8 years old, like everyone else, I'm pretty much camera shy. Once I figure it out, I'll look for a more current picture.

Tigerlily ~ Glad to help. You know I think it alot, but when you mentioned taping a pic to the fridge, :idea: I'm thinking I'll print out the old saying and tape it all over my kitchen! Hehe.... Okay, not ALL over my kitchen, just the Fridge, the cupboard and the "Junk food" drawer!. You go gggrrrllll......I'm working my way to the 3 mile walk. I'm sweatin through the 2 mile :stress: , so I figure I'll give it a little more time. Walked my 2 miles yesterday and get to do step tonight. Ain't I lucky?:D

Huntress ~ here's hoping that you get the attention of the "hottie" that you'll see today. Man, just thinking......it's been so long since I've looked at another man like that. TV and Movie people don't count do they? Because I find quite a few of them mighty yummy! :T , very, very lickable. You read right, I said "Lickable", Hehe

Kayla ~ This will all pass, or you do what ya gotta do to make stuff happen. If Greg hasn't emailed you, then you email him. If the friend is getting on your nerves, nicely tell her to backoff and get off your tip! (Hehe, the way kids talk these days....)

and Tiff ~ First, I HAVE to tell ya, that my DH's ex has the same name as you.... YIKES :eek: , but luckily I've met and know so many nice Tiffany's that I don't trip. You know how when it came time to name your kids and DH would say a name and you'd be like, nah.... I knew a girl in HS with that name and she was totally stuck up, and then you'd give a name and he'd know someone. Isn't it funny how we associate that kind of stuff? Okay, so I digressed. I totally agree with you, If it ain't broke don't fix it! I think your doing a wonderful job. And speaking of which, how was your bike ride? That would be a nice change of pace. DH has a bike that he's never used.....hhhmmm....It's supposed to be nice this weekend, maybe I can take a day this weekend and go for a bike ride. That way I'd still be getting some exercise in on the weekend......Woman, your an inspiration....:angel: and thank you for the kinds words. It make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :smug:

It's so official, I am so addicted to this board! I accidently stayed logged in all night, what's that all about? But seriously I am addicted. I check the boards, constantly.

Crap look at the time :eek: gotta get some stuff done before my boss gets in.....

Hey everyone!!

So i was totally bummed out last night right? and it turns out that they replaced me because i went to visit at camp last night but i was sick in the morning.....but whatever....camp was more important anyways......anyways..so yah
im getting my lisence in 9 months and me and my dad went to look at cars last night....and ther is a 2003 sunfire, silver, fully loaded, cd player you name it.......and its for an awesome price......so my dad is talking to the guy today and it should be mine by the end of next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAWWW!


anyways....nothing new here......trying to get OP today...but i gotta jet for now....later!

Hey gang,

Meant to post this morning but got interrupted. work is on fire this week. Nothing much new to report, just keepin' on keepin' on. Oh, yeah and cramps woke me up at 3 a.m. Have read your posts - keep up the good work everyone.

Cafe, drinking water and hoping for a big loss this week. (?)

It's hot as haitus, but I got my 20 min of step in! :stress:
DH wasn't able to figure out what the problem w/ the scanner is so I guess, I won't be posting a pic :( . Oh well.... I tried.

Okay, going to Taco Bell, to HOT :flame: to turn on the stove. (Any excuse not to cook)! Gonna try there new chicken zesty bowl (only 460 calories w/o the dressing). I figure since I've never had one I won't miss the sauce! hehe :cbg:

Thank goodness it's Friday! I was so tired yesterday that I came home from work and went right to bed. Haven't had any problem with my eating this week but as usual the scale really isn't moving, could be because I haven't had time to walk. With all the walking I did in LV and as tired as I've been just haven't bothered.

Didn't get to see my cutie pie yesterday:( and now I guess I won't be seeing him at all since we found out that he has been terminated. Business is slow for our industry and a lot of people have been laid off.

Kayla - another camp, WOW......I WANNA GO! You are having so much fun this summer makes me want to be a teenager again. I loved summer camp. When do you leave, how long will you be gone?

Dyan - you are a bundle of energy girl:dancer: where do you get it all........can I have some? I will pay a premium price for it;)

Tiffany - hope everythings going well for you.........miss ya!

Tigerlilly - I haven't seen Shallo Hal yet, not sure if I want to after hearing ya'll talk about it. Hey, ya wanna come do my yard, I call it the jungle.......takes 2 people all day just to get it all done.:fr:

I've been slouching on the water this week and figure I'd better drink a couple gallons today before that massage tommorow. Wish I could afford to have one more often since I understand they make a big difference in weight loss. Wonder if it helps with cellulite..........anybody know?
