Slim for summer-Week 8
 

Hey all!

this is WACK~~ week 8!!! wow!!!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Nikki~~ I had a terrible weekend too! lets see, I ate out on friday, had fries with my meal, saturday I had wendys then went to a praty and had some wine and chips, on sunday we had brunch the works then I had chocolate ( yes I "gave it up") then I just snacked ALL DAY!!! ugh!!! terrible!!!!

:carrot: yeah for meeting you 21 mile goal!!!~ and I think you will meet your goal, maybe add some hills to your walking??

Fitgal- Thanks for the encouragement. I am sure I didn't gain more then a pound but I won't know until wed. I was at 160 last wednesday and I'm really hoping to see 159 this wed. I did real good with my eating today. Got in my 7,000 plus steps - 3.5 miles.


Have a great night
Nikki

Morning Ladies-

I managed to get on the scale today and was surprised I was at 160. I thought for sure I gained about 4 lbs. I have decided since I will be away on May 27th I will change my official weigh in days to Fridays. That way I can weigh in as close to my goal day as possible next week. I am pretty determined 5 lbs in 10 days is doable and I plan to meet my goal!

It has been quiet here lately. I hope everyone is doing well.


Nikki

Way to go Nikki!
I don't think 5 pounds in 10 days is unreasonable, its 2.5 pounds a week, a healthy loss!


I have not weighed myself since last week, cuz I ate too much cra* this weekend, but I have been eating better and making up for it, so hopefully I will see a loss this week!

Where is everyone?? HELLO!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Hey,
So i weighed in yesterday and im still the same, bn like that for a couple of weeks now, better than nothing i guess.

Well im sick again. this guy i know last night seemed really concerned about me and i wondered why but he told me that he just found out he had glandular fever, and when he found out i was poorly he was worried incase i have it. well i told him not to be stupid coz i just have a cold, but maybe i shud go to the doctors and get it checked out.

Fitgal- Healthy yes hoping I can do it my body seems stuck at 160. I have been there for 3 days now. I hope by friday I see another loss.

emzi- You better let a doctor have a look at you. I hope you feel better soon. The sooner you know what is wrong the faster you will be back on track.

I went back to my orthopedic yesterday. He was thrilled I am walking 3 miles a day. My broken ankle only healed enoughto walk on it mid april. I also walked 7,558 steps yesterday so I met that goal again.

Today I will go shopping for some summer clothes. I am hoping to find some nice flower child like long flowly skirts. They should flatter me. I also am secretly hoping I fit into at least 1 size 8 pair of pants.

have a great day ladies
Nikki

OOOO I love shopping! I never find anything I like, well except SHOES!!! hahahah. its funny when I go with my friends, they always find like a ton of things and I always come out empty handed hahaha they call me the :devil: everytime we go shopping, but I know they love it!!! hahaha I wish Ihad money so I could go shopping!

BTW congrats on the 7558steps!! thats great!!!! :cheer:

Emzi~~ I would get yourself to a doctor. have hime do a full checkup (can't hurt)...maybe even blood tests...better safe than sorry I say!

Fitgal-
I decided since we were on a time crunch yesterday to only buy accessories to spice an old dress up. I spent 50.00 on earrings a belt and pantyhose. Amazing how expensive everything is.My pedometer messed up yesterday I walked the mall 3 or 4 times and it only said 2,000 steps. There is no way. so I alloted myself 5,000 steps for the mall trip and I walked 1,000 before and 1200 after. So I did 7200 steps yesterday. My back is bothering me today so I am aiming low for 5-6,000 steps today. i only have 15,000 steps to go to meet my goal of 42,000 steps so I can cut back for a few days to help my back and still meet the goal.

I am anxious about my weigh in tomorrow I think I should see 158 but not sure I will. Since monday I have been eating only 1 snack and 3 light meals. I am trying so hard I hope it pays off.

Nikki

Where is everyone??????

I'm HERE! lol

yea its quiet around here! So I Did well Allllll week then tonight hit...I ate soo much...my bf and I were painting alllll day, I only had 1 slice of toast for breaky, no lunch, no snacks so by the time dinner came I was famished I ate 5 slices of pizza :o (not the crust yuck, so maybe that would only make it 4 slices ????) 4 chicken wings:o , 2 garlic stix with cheese!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!! :o i am an oinker!!!:ink: hahaha Oh and I was craving a sweet, so I had a spoon full of icing!!!!
I even went to the gym today! bah!!! :ink:

Hi fitgal-

I had a pretty good day I had a south beach wrap for breakfast, and a salad for dinner. I splurged and had some coffe tonight. I got 4,000 steps in, which brought me to goal. hopefully this week I will see 157. I'm doing everything I can to get there.


Have a great night

Nikki

and im back. with just a cold :). and 2 job interviews, so things are lookin up
on the diet front tho. piled on a couple of pounds :(. nothing too serious, but as of today ive set my goals all a bit different.

so a new week 2morra. how is everyone else doing?,.. its so quiet around here these days.

hey girls it is quiet...
Been painiting allll weekend..I am soooo sore! Diet was ok this weekend but only cuz I got sooooo busy painting that i DIDN'T EAT....no good cuz when I did I was famished and ate way way too much!

oh well new week!!! think for now since it been so quiet we can just stik to this this thread?

Sticking to this thread sounds good to me. I had an ok day. I did my exercise ate pretty healthy. I had a few snacks though which is more then I normally eat. I was hungry for some reason.

Nikki

Yeah, We might aswell stay here, We need more people, everyone just disappeared, sometimes im a guilty culprit aswell like i dont post for days on end.
So the last couple of days have gone quiet well with me, ive started drinkin homemade fruit smoothies throughout the day with only a small meal for lunch, then on a night, having something a bit larger. I dnt want to weigh myself for 2 weeks but its so hard not too. so might have to do it after a week. lol
well lets drift off the diet for a little while, whats everyone doing over the summer?. any holidays planned?.

Morning Ladies-

I am very happy to say I saw 158 today. It is not my official weigh in day so I won't change my ticker. I am hoping to see 157 on Friday.

Emzi- I know what you mean about weighing to often it becomes like an obsession lol. If you can do even a week in between you are better then me.

Nikki

Hey congrats :carrot: on seeing 158 :).

Im down to 217. 17 more to reach my target, i really cant wait. Gonna start exercising tomorrow. basic sit ups i think, but loads better than what im doing now.
I think im gonna try posting everyday. so i can just write down what im doing, see whether it stopped me being tempted towards other things.. lol.

great work emzi. Any extra exercise should help you out. Hang in there and keep going. Thank you for your support.

Nikki

hey ladies!

I see you are both doing well congrats to both of you!!!

Emzi~ addin exercise will sure help, even if its just a little at frist!
Nikki~ :carrot: yay 158! keep it up!!!

Hey.

fitgal. just noticed ur only a few pounds away from your goal. wow :).
stick in and that will sure to be gone in a couple of weeks. Then u will have reached ur slim for summer already.

And as for me im getting slimmer for summer lol, i might get in a bikini for september. we will see :).

Wooohoo we are all doing awesome .....


I looked n the mirror today and for the first time in a long time I am starting to be happy about how I look. That is a major step.

Nikki

That is soooo huge!!! :carrot: all too often women hate what they see EVEN when they lose the weight! it is sooo good that you are seeing all your hardwork!!!!

thanks! not sure what I weigh now, I had a couple of "bad days" but no more than 2 pounds worth :( :lol:

Thanks Ladies- My biggest problem area was always my thighs but since I have been walking I am noticing them tone and even some of the extra skin is vanishing woohoo.

Fitgal- 2 lns come and go no worries. I doubt it is even 2 pounds.

Thought id post early in the day bcoz i am very tempted just to get on my scales and i dnt want too. haha. i am gonna weigh monday i think. instead of leaving it two weeks. i will see.
Well my twin told me today that she is starting her diet, so its making me even more determine now, bcoz to start with she is 60lbs lighter than me. I just keep saying, wait til im skinny ill be wearing all your clothes. Ive always looked at her as the pretty skinny one, well thats gonna be me hahaha.

Nikki~~Yay, such a great feeling!!!

Emzi~~ you can do it! a little healthy competiton between sisters is good...plus you can motivate eachother to stick to your diets when at family functions...

Morning-

Today was my last weigh in for my chalenge. I did not meet my goal. I lost 9lbs in a month as opposed to the 12 I wanted. I am kind of bummed out.

Nikki

Emzi how are you doing?

Im ok. ty. 6lbs down this week :). and still sick. i thought i was getting better but today i feel terrible. never mind.
Well i have a job interview tonight at 6:30 for a hairdressers nearby. i didnt really wanna be going feeling like this but i guess i should really.

Way to go Emzi and goof luck on your interview tonigt. Did you ever go see a doctor?

Nikki

6 pounds thats soooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:carrot: :carrot: :carrot: WAY TO GO!!!

how are you feeling today? As Nikki inquired, did you see a doctor? if you did what did he/she say? feel better soon:hug:
HOw did the interview go??? when do you find out about the job??? this is soooo exciting!:D

I never did go to the doctors, i started feeling better at one point, and then started getting worse. to get into the docs it was about 7 days wait and i thought it would be gone by then.

After all that never did the interview. been moved to a different day. and should find out straight away.

How are you both?

Hi emzi-

I think you should go see a doctor. I will keep my fingers crossed for you on the interview.

I am doing pretty good today. I droped a lb from yesterday surely salt retention. I am still sluggish from the weekend so I am moving in slow motion.

Nikki
