That's great, Ruth!
Hmmm.... bandages and hair... what else can we get rid of...

Way to go sweetie!
Sorry I am so slow reading this thread! I do not weigh in until tonight, so I never really paid much attention, but thought I would check in an see how everyone else is doing! Fabulous darling! I am so freakin' proud of you.
All your hard work is starting to pay off.
Big hug to you hun~!
Virginia

Oh, Virginia... you sweet thing you...
Yes, I am feeling pretty damned good. I'm just looking around to see where the three pounds came off, and I don't see much new. Probably came off my left foot or something.

BOOBS!! That's what I can get rid of!!

Huh! Not me! When I lose my weight, you'll barely be able to SEE mine!

Yeah? Well, Ellis you can have some of mine! My boobs are like a EE cup. My breasts measure 7 inches bigger than my midriff, and that makes me a EE cup size. I gotta tell ya it sucks beyond belief! They make my back sore, and they probably add about 20-30 lbs. to my weight. I don't know how people like Pamela Anderson,and Anna Nicole Smith stand them so big!

I know... I know, Velvet. My sympathies. I actually used to WANT to have big breasts! I thought I was missing out on something (I probably was ), but now I am VERY happy with what I've got.

Phew! I have been out of the loop by not posting for a few days!

congratulations Ellis! That is great! Your workouts are finally paying off! Way to go girl!

Velvet-congrats to you to girl!

Ruthxx-yay! You are back down...those meds really can interfere, can't they? How is your wrist doing?


I am at 156 now! Whoo! I hope I have finally broken that plateau I was stuck on~ I am still hoping for 155lbs in time for DH's office Christmas party on December 13th. ACCCCKKK! What am I going to wear to this thing????

Thank you, Mauvais, dear. And congratulations to you, too!! You can get rid of that pound by Christmas. Bellydance for an hour a day and you will be so slim you'll be able to go the Christmas party wearing nothing but a thong.

Thanks for the vote of confidence of Ellis! I am sure I would be the most popular gal at the party if I showed up in a thong and nothing else! Well, maybe a bit of tinsel since it is Christmas

Hey Ellis,
Good idea for Mauvaisouroux's Xmas party. Would likely get lots of free drinks. Got weighed in yesterday, and can not believe it really, but tried twice just to be sure. Down 4.5 this week. In four weeks that is 14 lbs. No miracle drugs, only eating properly and exercise. I hope it continues this way but I am not to optimistic that it will continue to fall off as it has been. I just wish my belly would dissapear., of course it has some but not quickly enough for me. Oh well, can't have everything, damnit!
Virginia

Virginia, I am so happy for you!! You've been working so hard... good for you, hon!!

Hey girlies! Congrats...yeah, Ellis!!!! that exercise is working chickie-dee!!!
I weighed myself yesterday and I didn't like the numbers so I waited for today...after a healthy on program day yesterday and...drumroll please...
after Thanksgiving and Chanukah....
I'm at 178!!!!
just one pound less than last weigh in day but I'll take it!
Yeah, Baybee!!!!
Now just have to survive the rest of December and all of my pms-es between now and then. Actually I'm pms right now and have been HUNGRY! But, last night I ate some cheese (1ounce) and some healthyish crackers. The cheese is fat-full but, protein-full too and it satisfied me and normally I would have eaten...well, you know...cookies and icecream and chocolate and whatever else I could get my hands on non-stop! So, I'm a very happy chicklette!

I'm down ten pounds from August 15th when I posted in the meet and greet thread!
Yahoo!!!!!!!!!
lets keep going girls!!!! You all inspire me!!!!
and Den...too funny...when I read Ellis' post I immediately thought the same thing...and I'm planning on it too
because as I'm losing I notice them dropping.
not getting any smaller mind you...just slowly getting lower and lower and lower.
guess my belly had been holding them up!
And Velvet chicky...oh, honey...we have had the best boobie discussions...if I can find any of the old ones I'll direct you to them!
You'll totally relate.
Anybody know where they are? I think in LesBiAlternachicks and Friends?
going to the gym today...I'm going to be a lean, mean, thong wearing machine!!
Love, Soozie

Whooooo hoooooo Suuuuuuuuuuuuuue!!!

Geez, I was just going to go and eat something bad and now that I've read your post I can't do it. Damn. Maybe some coffee...

I just made myself an omlet and it was yummy. Brocolii, onion, celery, green pepper, and spinach. Was very filling too. Works on the cravings. I am going to really try to avoid salty and sugary things this week, because I am PMS and do not want to gain if I can help it. Fruit is a good sub for sugar, and I am really not a salt nut anyway. Water,water, water!! I think that is the key especially for this time of the month.
