WendeeLou where are you? Havent seen or heard from you in ages......is everything ok? Hope so.

Hey all!!!!
I had a grrrrreat morning :) I'm going away for the weekend to attend meetings and 'cause I'm leaving tonight, I had to get on the scale this morning (I usually weight on friday) and YAY, 3.6 pouds gone (forever I hope!) I guess training like a mad person paid off lol

I've told myself that at 10 pounds gone, I'm doing some major change with my hair and now it's just 0,6 pounds away :D

Good weekend to all of you :) Keep up the good work! We can do this! :carrot:

Wendee, you're definitely missed!!

Turbo - GREAT WORK! :) You're an inspiration! So proud of you! :carrot:

Hey ladies! I am here! CRAZY BUSY at Work, which is where I usually get on to chat with you gals! For those of you who know about health care in the US- Joint Commission decided to pay us a visit (they werent supposed to come until August..) It could not have been a worse week.. I recently was promoted, and so I was training for my new job (old gal's last day was Friday) PLUS training the new person who took my old job.. PLUS the Volunteer/Bereavement coordinator is out on maternity, so I had to fill in for her surveys on volunteer and bereavement (which, luckily I know a decent amount about) AND to top it all off, our order's specialist (the one who tracks and sends out verbal orders for signatures) was off in Spain, so I was attempting to cover her as well. Needless to say, I have 16 hours of overtime for last week. Nice paycheck, yeah? But I was so busy!!!

I did well with eating and my gym schedule. I did skip Friday nights run to go see Pirate's of the Carrbian 4 with my son in IMAX 3 D.. VERY cool! And then Saturday I totally lost track of the day and didnt work out! :(

However this morning, I got my husband out of bed and dragged him to the gym with me!! It literally killed him, we stopped to get a sub sandwhich on the way home, and he just sat down and layed his head down! He was done for! He gave me a nice compliment.. he told me at the gym that I was a machine.. its true!! I have worked my bum off for the last year, and by the end of July I WILL be at goal.

I am happy to report that my scale read 165.7 on Saturday morning, however this morning it was back to 167.2.. who knows anymore!!?

I hope you all are doing well! I read through and it looks like we are having some success around here! Thats exciting!

Fresno- I know how ya feel girl, its rough when stressful stuff is going on. I tend to eat when I am stressed as well!! hang in there girl, its all about a decision, and since you recognize that behaviour, you can fix it (easier said than done, Iknow) but you can do it! I believe in you!

I have missed you all and am SO glad to be back!!

Hey all! :)

I'm back from my conferences weekend and I'm SUPER glad that I only took 2 pounds while being away! It was really hard keeping track of everything, having dining out and everything all the time, so I'm really glad I controled the damages!!

I'm ready for a new week :)

Hope you all had a good weekend! :)

Hi everyone,

Wendee great to see you back and still kicking butt at the gym! Sounds like you're mega busy at work but keeping on top of it all, what a super-woman! Hope it eases up for you soon :-)

Turbo Well done on controlling your time away. I had THE worst long weekend with no control, I just ate and ate and ate. But determined to get straight back on the wagon now and have an extra - good week.

themilesawaygirl : welcome in the ''oops I did it again'' train! ahah! But way to go! It's worthless to drain all our enegery in thinking about what we ate, we just need to stay focus and look forward :)

We can dooo it!

Hello friends! :)
And welcome back, Wendee! Glad to see you!

How was everyone's long weekend? I didn't get much exercising in, but I stuck to my diet pretty well. My gut is coming back! Boo! It's amazing to me how different my body looks between 162 lbs and about five-six pounds heavier than that. I NEED to get back on the wagon. I think I'm going to ease into it and go to a yoga class tonight. :)

How are my girlfriends doin'? :)

:carrot:

Welcome back Wendee! I know all about the Joint Commission! Always nice when its over!

I had a very stressful day at work Friday. I had 2 of my 5 staff tell me they are leaving at the end of June. Ahhh! I might taken a little of that out on the food that was in my face all weekend. Back on the wagon. Still stressed, but hoping good for me food will lower the stress level!

Hey ladies I as well have 30 to lose! I started acouple days ago. Calorie counting as of now eating about 1200-1400 a day. I go today to sigh up at our local Y. Trying to make a personal life change. My life revolves around my son and husband. I am a SAHM. But next school year my son will be going back to school full time, hubby is working hard full. I am making plans to get back to work, but am looking for a new career. Gonna be 30 next year and I want to start it off right, healthy and mentally happy with myself. Its gonna be hard! But It nice to have a buddie on here. This site is huge, and hard for a newbie to navigate!


forgot to mention lost 2lbs already! wish it was 20 !

it's juuuuuune! yay! I don't know, it feels like a new beginning on my weight loss journey! I have the feeling it's gonna be a wonderful month!

Hey SCMOMMY11, I'm some kind of a newbie too, so I understand being a bit loss around the site :) Welcome & best wishes!

30lbs to loose
 

[QUOTE=fresno26;3804399]Hello my name is Klarissa i am 18 and joining the airforce i have to loose quite a lot of weight it would b awsome to have a buddy

Ugh, just had a total snack attack. Went for the M&Ms. Now they are sitting heavy in my stomach. Stressed backwards = desserts

WOW I had never noticed that! But don't let it get to you, move on and remember how you're feeling now next time you want to snack. Focus on having an extra healthy few days rather than dwelling on the M&Ms. You can do it!

Morning everyone! The days are starting to get a bit less busy thank goodness! We are dealing with a lot of change with employees at work, so I totally feel ya on the stressed aspect.

Met with my trainer this am! He kicked my butt as usual! I would say about five times my mind said, "I cannot do this" and my body did it anyway. A bit proud of myself. I havent been super strict with my diet, so hopefully my gym time pays off. I havent been doing terribly, just not as great as usual. But I am for sure starting to see some more muscle definition.. wanna see?
