Hello ladies. I know I've been quiet lately, I feel bad about that. Going through my own selfish things, but I'm coming back out of my shell more and more.

Going to restart and rethink things, which is good and positive, and focus on just living well and not so much on "weight loss." STILL LOVE THE WEIGHT LOSS! WANT! NEED! But right now i need to focus on just eating right, moving my body, and getting back to being talkative. I have a hard time overcoming depression and tend to wallow.

I hope everyone is well. *HUGS* I'm back though, going to be pestering you all a lot, so hopefully you won't mind!

Dgramie- I dont drink the pre made in a can .. i'm cheap and only buy the cheaper stuff dry that i have to mix myself lol... did hear about the recall on the canned stuff and thanks for passing it on in case

finally got about 1300 cals yesterday.. hopefully ill make at least 1500 today... i dont know if its stress or what but i constantly feel like i have just eaten a big heavy meal and cant take one more bite. i am usually the type that eats more when stressed, so i dont get this... maybe cause this is the most stressed i have ever been? who knows, i just hope it passes soon..
goin for a long walk this am .. both to burn cals as well as de stress a lil hopefully. i have been doing loads of squats, working out with handweights, and walking. it's about all i can handle atm. hope youre all doing well

Well, we definitely got hit with the winter weather overnight. All of the schools in the area are closed. Even the ones that NEVER close are closed. Unfortunately, I still have to go to work.

I am SO sore from the gym yesterday. My upper thighs most of all. Got in another half hour on the elliptical & half hour weight training. And the best part of the workout? Hanging out in the sauna afterwards. lol

Jacquie - How are things with your boyfriend? Any better? Sometimes we all need to just lurk, so it's understandable. *hugs*

Well, I had the bad day yesterday that I knew would eventually come. I am doing so much stuff right now, that I reached max gross load, and turned to food. Today is a new day, and I'm going to brush myself off and start again. Should be easy because I've done it so many times, it's old hand.

good morning ladies i got 1500 cals yesterday woo hoo it wasnt the best whole foods in the world, but at least i ate some.. it has been so cold here in the mornings, walking is hard.. 12 degrees.. wth? that is just too cold lol. i didnt exercise much yesterday. my body has been so sore and i have exercised for 6 days straight so i took a day off. not much going on today. i hope you all have a good day

I'm just checking in to let you all know I'll be out of town for the weekend and probably not checking in much. So, if you need me for anything and it can't wait until next week, you can contact one of the other mods.

Have great weekends!!

Well, I did just under 2200 calories today. After yesterday, it was an improvement. The big problem was a 480 calorie hot chocolate at Tim Hortons. I don't know what I was thinking. So while he was at a meeting tonight, I went and walked at the mall for an hour to pay for my sins. Sure was a good hot chocolate though, and it was pretty cold outside.

morning all..

I am just up way to early..going to pay for it later at work when I am snoozing in my cubical. My birthday is sunday so today at work we will celebrate it and then going out for mexican food at work. I am SERIOUSLY not in the mood this year. I don't know what my problem is.

Hubby was suppose to leave for his sisters monday..but she sprained her ankle in Afghanistan and is not allowed to come home yet. She see's the dr saturday and they will let her know when she can come home. HUbby is totally bummed.

Kayley: bet your glad your internship is over. ;0)

heather: have a great vacation

Catherine: I so love hot chocolate

Jacquie: glad your posting..we miss you

Good morning ladies..sorry i havent been on here lately just been busy I cant believe xmas is 2 weeks away and that my xmas party is basically only a week away ( it's next saturday december 19th and i had the weirdest dream about it last night and i hope it doesnt come true but my dream was i was at the party and people were talking and i kept hearing people talk to other people saying wow you look great how much have you lost? and the other person would say "15 or 20 lbs" and i kept hearing this during the whole party but no one ever said anything to me about my weight loss and i kept thinking to myself " why arent people noticing my weight loss..i have lost 50 lbs they have only lost 20?" so i really hope that people notice my weight loss next week..the people i am seeing is my husbands side of the family and the last time i saw them was 2 months ago so i hope they notice but we will see but boy was that a weird dream!

Well, not much new with me other than i worked out for over an hour today and according to the scale i was 282.4 lbs today so i really hope the exercise burned off the .4 i need to make it to 50 lbs lost that would be awesome if i made it a week early

well, have a great friday everyone!
Heather

I MADE IT! lol. I'm all finished with my Internship. I'm so happy it's all done. I was so looking forward to finally sleeping IN tomorrow, but I have my last Saturday class tomorrow, bright and early at 8am. Boo. So glad next week is finals week. I'm in need of a break.

Hit the gym after work. Did the usual. 30 mins elliptical, 30 mins strength, then came home, and did an hour stability ball workout while I watched Ugly Betty. My abs are feeling it!

Tomorrow is my weigh in. I've been fluctuating all week. I doubt I'll make it to -50, but maybe I'll have a surprise.

Cyn - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (early) I hope you enjoy it, even if you aren't really in the celebrating mood.

Heather hb - I'm sure everyone will notice! I see the same people everyday, so it's not really noticeable to them yet, and I'm around -50 as well (3-ish lbs away), but since they haven't seen you in a couple of months, it'll be more noticeable.

Good morning ladies...I'm really excited this morning because...

I've lost 51 lbs!

I made my goal of 50 lbs by december 19th one week early!!! Im soo excited today!!! I'm going to try really hard this week to lose 4 lbs and maybe be at 55 lbs lost by the party but even if i dont i am super happy to make it past 50!!

Nothing much else going on today..i think i m gonna go over my parents house and see there tree and decorations cause i havent seen them yet and then have my husband pick me up after work.

Well, have a great saturday everybody
Heather

hbieber- congrats on the lbs lost

I'd like to join this group if I may. I've been lurking for a few days and feel the need to become a member for the accountability. I am really impressed by everyone's efforts and look forward to walking the journey with all of you.

Blessing!

Smitten: Welcome to the group..jump right in

Hubby talked to his brother in law yesterday..his sister probably won't get to come home at all. I guess her tour of duty is done in May so He will wait til this summer and go. He is bummed pretty bad. For one cause he bought a ticket to fly to see her and now has to wait.

My sister is suppose to fly home today from PA. He called me and said they were driving to the airport and ran into a huge car pile up cause of black ice on the roads. So they wont make their flight. I am just glad they are ok. In arizona we dont get weather like that so she was a bit scared.

Since today is my birthday..I am going to finish watching my new DVD's and then I guess we are going out for dinner...that is if my sister gets back in time. If not we will wait til another day. Her birthday is the 17th so we usually celebrate together.
