Hey everyone
I just found this group and you guys are sooo motivating!

I've been on HM since Aug 4 and down almost 20lbs (another 20 or so to go).

Congrats BL on your progress - love, love, love fitting into the skinny clothes again.

Destiny - I'm also doing bootcamp (and lots of other exercise - probably more than my HM girls want me to do) and loving it. Hope you're having fun!

Thanks for posting on the group - I love reading everyone's posts!
Laura

Welcome Laura! I hope you enjoy it here!

Destiny- I'm with Betterlife...the word BOOTCAMP scares the crap outta me! LOL... Where are you guys doing that at? How does one get involved in a Bootcamp???

Betterlife- Thanks for the birthday wishes. I kind of blew it today a little bit. My husband took me out for dinner and I indulged yet again. OOPPS. BUT tomorrow is a new day! I sure hope that I am still in the 170's as tomorrow is my birthday, which was my mini goal date! However I am going to ROCK October. My new mini goal for Halloween is to be 167lbs or lower. Wanna join me in the 160's for Halloween??

Went shopping today and I actually bought a pair of jeans that were size 34! I couldn't believe it! I can't even remember the last time I wore a size 34! Makes me so very happy!

Alberta...YOUR ON!!! My goal will be 169....12lbs!!

I will be back later, no time to write, slept in, but I had to pop in and say Hello!!

SO...

HELLO....have a great day you bunch of LOSERS!!!!

BL

Phew!! I hit the 70 pound mark and am just .4 over 200!!

Onederland by the end of the week, I hope

Hi I've been lurking for a while and decided to post.....I lost about 17 lbs so far but over the weekend I completely lost it. I'm looking for something that will help give me a boost this week and help me break the lil plateau I was in...

Has anyone tried purify?? I heard my friend talking about it and was wondering if this could give me a lil weigt loss boost this week?

Anyone have any other tips????

Also looking for recipes if anyoone has any

Aimes,

I haven't tried it but was told a bit about it as it is on sale on my centre this month. I am planning to wait until I get stuck a bit before I try it.

In theory, I think that a cleanse like that is a great idea!

Yay! Went for a WI today....down a total of 15.4lbs since I started 3 weeks ago! What an amazing feeling! I'm so happy! Now to keep at it. I'll be going out of town on Saturday until Wednesday...eating out 3 times a day...any suggestions...has anyone else done this?? How was your weight affected?? I know there are smart choices at restaurants...and I hope there is a fridge in the hotel that I could keep good things in....but I'll be so disapointed if I gain!! Help??

Hey all,
Weighed in today and almost at the 160's...should happen this week since I AM going to behave myself. 171.6! Went to Keith Urban last night and he was awesome! Didn't even eat out before the concert which is kind of a ritual with my husband and I. But I told him I didn't want to and he was fine about it. He is so supportive...hope all of you guys have someone so supportive!

Renee...you could get some protein bars or meal replacement bars for your trip...they are great and all measure for you then have a salad in a restaurant and see if they have fat free dressing. I would suggest packing fruit if you are able or stop in at a grocery store where you are going.

Hope everyone had a great wi!

I find eating out is always soooo hard - good luck Renee! That's a great idea to bring bars. I would increase your water too, as you'll probably be consuming more salt than you're used to.

I'm a regular at Bootcamp at our gym, and I absolutely love it. I feel so strong when I'm done. However, I have found that I'm super hungry days I do it, and then I tend to cheat on the diet (totally counterproductive). I've got a bit of a cold so sluggish this week - maybe bootcamp break.

Have a great skinny night everyone!

HELLO EVERYONE!
I went to my WI today and I'm down to 169.6 OMG i'm in the 160's wooo hooo. Anyhow, I'm feeling great and supeer motivated.

BOOTCAMP doea sound scary, but not as bad as you think. I mean I'm still alive to talk about it..hahaha I was pretty sore two days after, feeling aches and pains in parts of my body that i never knew i had.lol
As to how i got invovle:I just saw a advertisment and called. It's all done outdoors, whether it rain or shine. Mostly women, and there is about 12 of us. I really enjpy it so far.

Have a great night Ladies!!!!!!!!

Wow, what a quiet place!!!

Way to go losers!!! Everyone is doing fantastic!! I weigh in tomorrow morning...hoping for atleast 1/4lb to get me at the 30lb mark. I have worked out 3 times and went for 1 aquafit class since my WI...I don't think only 3classes could put me up in weight, could it? Oh well I feel great and it feels great to be working out...sweating my butt off feels great...who ever would have thought I would be saying those words?!?!

Did anyone watch The Biggest Loser tonight?? OMG I was so Pi**ed at that Tracy....she played so stupid this week...and I cannot believe the people that trusted her...when are people going to realize....IT IS EVERYONE FOR THEMSELVES???? I hope her butt goes home next week...she is lucky I am not on there with her...I'd kick her A**....LOL

I hope everyone is doing great......staying on the straight and narrow...and if you are having a tough time...come talk to us...we are all here for each other!!

BL

I had a crappy W/I today!!! I went up +1lb I can only hope that it's just that I ate a few higher sodium foods cause I sure as heck did not cheat(and not that TOM)! I even walked for 50 minutes Sunday evening!!! Uggggg my body sucks lol At least the girl at my center wasn't to worried - she said one weigh-in like that is not a big deal & wasn't concerned when she reviewed my food journal. So I have been a psycho about sodium the last 2 days & it better reflect on the scale!!!

I hope everyone else is producing good #'s!!!! Keep it up ladies!!!!

HAGN!!

HMj.

better life: I KNOW!! Tracey needs to go! She was such a ***** putting Shay up on the scale...and trying to pretend it was because "she really did well this week". UGH!!

She's gotta know that the second she is below the line, everyone will vote her out.

I do feel bad for Coach Mo though...stuck with her.

Anyway...enough of that. My wi went well yesterday as I lost another 1.2 and am now 200.4! Onederland here I come!

Today, after I ran on my treadmill, I weighed myself at home and actually saw that glorious number 1 at the beginning. 199.5.

I won't really consider it official until I wi at my centre but hopefully their scale will reflect something similar (despite my clothes) in the morning....if not, for sure by the end of the week

hey ladies! i just got caught up on the reading part of things! and it seems that everyone is doing great!! way to go! i finally made it into the 150's!! woohoo! i bought the purify thing cuz it was on sale but i don't think i will start it for 2 weeks.. only 2 weeks left of the weight loss and i was at 159.2 yesterday but my scale today showed great improvment! its old school tho so it isn't very accurate.... im excited to go weigh in on friday to see where i am at... no cheating lots of planning and cooking i made the cabbage roll casserole from the cook book and my o my it was amazing!! i would suggest everyone try it. and its easy! i can cook it so it must be!!! i made a chicken quesadilla for lunch today...yummy! im loving it... i went shopping on friday and it was a blast!! i bought this one dress ( actually i bought 4 hehe) and it makes me feel fantastic!!! i wore it to work yesterday and everyone loved it and said i look like a size 3 not even close but it makes me feel great!!! and i also bought a pair of high heeled boots that go to almost my knee and it is the first time that i have ever fit into them.. they normally dont do up around me calf!!! i told my b/f that he needs to take my debit card away because im having way to much fun shopping and i just keep spending! yikes.. o well.. saturday he is taking me out to buy a fancy dress for a wedding we have to go to next weekend.. its going to be a lot of fun i hope everyone is having a great day and the best of luck with wi's!!! ttyl
