Hello!

gold00n you are going to like this place a lot!

Nikki sorry about the flue it is very nasty!

FluffyK you made me feel really great! I didn't think the crab stitch was difficult at all, I just have trouble counting the chains and figuring out where I am when I crochet. I looked at the site I it very neat! I love the baby stuff on there.

Hi Alicia!

I had a great afternoon, not only I gave the little dudes a bath but I also groomed Zurg he looks really good! amazing!
I am waiting for DH to come home, we are going to to out to get a bit to eat, he feels like going to the cheesecake factory! I am always up to that, mmm....

Hey eveyone I'm back.....

I just weighed myself. Well, I had to come and post, I am very upset. Let me start off saying this. I haven't weighed in 3 weeks. The reason being I've been reading a book and following its suggestions. Main idea is exercising more before cutting calories. So I've been really good about the exercising right? Almost everyday where before not so much. I haven't been eating more though, just normal. Anyways, I get on the scale even though I'm not suppose to yet. I am up 10lbs!!!!! I am very mad and I feel like crying. It is not TOM. How can I gain 10lbs in 3 weeks? This means I am in the 260's which is very upsetting because I haven't been that high in a LONG time. I was just in shock when I saw those numbers. It's just shocking.

Thanks for letting me rant everyone. I seriously just want to go hide myself in my room under my blankets and never come out!

Lois, you should see if you can find someone in your area that can do a Body Impedance Analysis (BIA). It is a little sticky pad that measures body fat, body water, lean muscle mass. That way, if you gained 10 pounds of lean muscle mass, you'd know that your exercise was beneficial, not such a shock. The scale might have made you upset, but the exercise is such a great thing, I don't think you have anything to be mad about. Now that you've got the routine of exercising down, you can cut back a little in your diet and you have such a wonderful start. The scale isn't a measure of health, so don't be so frustrated, you've done your body a great service with the exercise.

Hi Everyone!!

Had a really busy day today.

Welcome Goldmoon & Fluffy!

I'll be at mom's working tomorrow, but will get the miles done in the AM.

HOT TAMALES ON A CHEESE BAGEL! Hanner Nanners you look yummy guuurl!

Roo Shmoo- Yes, I guess I've been hiding. Keeping busy, but not losing weight. Stuck in rotation between 15-20 pounds lost and can't budge further! Just got your pm...from oh, 3 months ago.

GGers-where are you flying to???? How's the new digs? Lovin' um?

Is my little creamie caramel dribbled eclair still around? You know who you are. How's your house?

Ok, Lauren/Vickster-I'm hunting you down...I didn't forget where to find you!

Alicia my sweetpea! I wish you'd quit being so hard on yourself. You're a friggin' hottie and have accomplished so much. Give yourself a break. Weight loss will come when it's ready and in the meantime, you're still turnin' heads and breakin' hearts! Don't worry...I won't tell.... LOL

Is Sheila around still? I'd say "HI NEWBIES!" But they're the regulars now vs. me....so I'll say "hi" to myself. LOL I know, I'm a freaktard. Gotta have one in every bunch to make the punch baby!

Ok all, toenails are drying and I need to drink more water....too much bootie to lose.

Hugs & Shugah Smacks, your "favorite" traitor (sp?)! MO

Hugs Alicia. Do you keep measurements? I bet if you did, you'd notice a change there. I know it's hard to not see the scale change and even harder when it's moving in the wrong direction. Very frustrating, I know first hand, as I'm sure others here do too. Very cliche I know, but hang in there. I've been holding steady at 202 for over a month, it's very frustrating, but I keep at it. Now that you have your body conditioned to workout regularly, maybe it's time to concentrate on your eating habits? I know I personally cannot start both at the same time and usually start with getting into a routine with my workouts then start adjusting my eating. Good luck to you and don't give up! YOU CAN DO IT!

I just finished another WATP workout. 4 Fast Miles! They weren't kidding about that either! Half that workout is jogging. I loved it! May incorporate that one a couple of times each week. It was a total sweatfest, but I burned more calories doing that one than any other 4 mile Leslie workout and close to what I burn doing the 5 miler. I'm pumped this morning! I hope you all are having a great weekend!

Heather

Mo! You crackhead!! Nice to see ya'...traitor. I see your messages, I just am too ******ed to figure out how to send a cutesy message thingy back.

Just poppin in to give my miles, I had 18.7 this week. I've got the crud now so I'm going back to bed. Stay healthy everybody, this sucks!

Trish

hello everyone!

MO is that really you!!! how are you sweet caramel fudge chocolate ice cream! you are a scream! that is for sure!
Good to see you!

It has been an OK weekend here, I am up 3.5 # but I can't really say I don't know why, if I could had only stopped eating! Last night DH came home to tired and instead of driving all the way to the cheesecake factory we just went down to Sammy's pizza, I ate so much bread DH actually asked me what was wrong w/me! I don't know what is going on, but I do know I have to stop!!!
Tomorrow we are going to see the neurologist for Sean, if it wasn't for that appointment, I would start the 7 day detox miracle diet, I did it once last year (this time of the year) and I want to do it again, it is hard to do, but man it is worth it!!! I am going to start it next week.
I have to go check on DS I will be back later

Hanna

Yes Hanner Nanners, it's me!

Good luck w/the appt. Give Sean a kiss from Auntie Mo!

That weight gain is just water babydoll! 'Ain't nothing but a thang baby!



Joan......GGers....... ????

Oh MO, it's so good to see you over here. I love all your energy. Sheila was just around last week. We miss the both of you, you're both such hoots. Big hugs to you girl.

Heather, thanks for the support, yes, I do need to start with changing my eating habits. That part is so hard for me. I haven't done any measurements but I probably should!

Hanna, good luck tomorrow with Sean, I hope you guys find out something!

Pam, how was the Party??? We want to see some pics!

Fluffy, thanks to you too. I don't know where to get a BIA? Have you gotten one yourslef? BTW, I don't know if I welcomed you or not. This is a wonderful group! Always great to see new faces too.

MY FIL is still here. I don't know when he is leaving but I hope soon. I haven't been able to get a workout in at all. Except last night I went on my walk. Today we went to walk around at a flea market. I bought some stuff from lilian vernon for $1!!! Later we went to the creek and the neighbor and I walked around while DH looked for "gold" in the creek.

Gotta go, talk later. Alicia

MO!!!!! Girlfriend we've missed you! How is my little molten lava cake with a dollop of whipped cream on top? Girl you are looking FANTASTIC!!! You're lookin' extra ... perky;-).

Sheila and Mo back all in one week? Ahhhhhhhh... it's so nice to have the family back together again LOL.

Alicia ~ don't despair dearest! I got on the scale today (I hadn't weighed in two weeks) and I'm up 4 lbs. I was bummed but it only makes me more determined to start watching my calories. I've been doing great with the exercise but haven't been watching calories at all.

Gotta go ... three little monsters are goin' nuts and it's time for bed NOW.

Hugs ~ Joan
