Hey Scorchin! Yeah, I was starting to get depressed that I was loosing this weight but… from where? And why couldn’t I see it! So James told me to take an update picture and when did that I DID see it! I was like wow! How come I can’t see that in the mirror?!?! I guess it’s nice to have something to compare a before and after with.

I was wondering the same thing… where is everyone? Hehehe…

Hope everyone is doing well..

Jaymi! I will post the pictures in the Members Gallery. Hopfully you will be able to see them there.

Take care everyone!

hi all,

well the good news is i didnt gain ....but the bad news is i didnt lose ... lol..... in my club we call this a turtle. but i will take a turtle over a gain anytime. i know that i had gained over vacation so i was happy that i had lost it before the weigh in tonight. so now it is time to get back on track and get down to some serious business. i am on another vacation the first week in aug and i am not going to pig out this time!!! it will be more about me and not everyone else. it may sound selfish but that is just how it is going to be. i need to take care of me first and family second and if they cant understand that .....it is just too bad. if i dont take care of me then i might not be around to take care of them. so they will have to live with the decisions i have made. do you guys understand my feelings about this?

Talk to you LIGHTER!!!
Peg

oh i forgot..... SUE GREAT PICS!!!!

Peg! Good to see you again! Welcome Back! Thank you for the kind words on the pics.

Take care!

Hello Everyone!!! did you all miss me horribly????????? well my vacation to visit my grandma is all over and i am home, it was nice to relax for five days and not half to worry about work or anything.... although we didnt go anywhere or do anything except relax, my grandma is 81 years old she is healthy for her age but her back hurts when she is walking around more than 10-15 minutes..... she is such a sweetie though, she had my mom and uncle (they are twins) when she was 40!!!! and they were 7 lbs a piece, could you imagine????? so I stayed on program except my grandma insisted that i eat ice cream with her in the evenings, but i compromised and ate a serving size or smaller.......which is only 150 cals so it was ok.....

Sue- those pics.........awesome you can really see a difference! I should start doing those cuz i feel the same way...23 pounds lighter and i cant see a difference!!

Jaymi- you are such a strong girl, there is no doubt in my mind that you will reach your ultimate goal in know time. do you find that its harder to lose weight now then when you were at your heaviest?? cuz people say it comes right off at first but when you get close to goal its much harder, what do you think?

Peg- at least you didnt gain, thats the way i always look at it, just keep going .....

Heather- hope you are feeling better...

Diane- hope all is well with you, havent seen a post since the family crisis post.....

well talk to you all soon, have a good weekend, Jamie

Hey! Sounds like had a full weekend so far!! Mine was ok.. My hubby didn't act like an a**hole, so it made the day go ok! I got everything cleaned but I'm pretty pissed off because now I have to clean the whole house over again after the beach trip tomorrow!! This is the laziest bunch of family members in the world! No one in the house helps! My hubby always say if you want about 5 minutes I will help you... but I did that ONE time... and it never happened! So I won't make that mistake again! The only rooms that were still a mess were our room and our bathroom! But no one went in there... my sister called herself helping... which she did ALOT! But that made my room look horrible! I spent most of the day/night cooking and cleaning. But at about 7 or 8 p.m. they finished barbq'ing and I relaxed. They are really kool people! We all went to the beach yesterday... of course I didn't get to have any fun!! I was watching the baby most of the time... then after that I was tired and I wanted to just lay down and take a nap... but why did it start raining and then pouring!! So we had to go! WHY ME?? So it got sunny again at about 5 so I rushed to go to the pool by myself... I get there ready to take a nap because I figure no one else would be there... and there wasnt at first... and then these 2 guys decided to come over there.. sooo no sleep. I can't sleep while in the middle of no where with 2 dudes! Then... I said forget it and was going to get in the water... IT STARTED RAINING AGAIN!! But oh well as far as today goes… I told my sister that we'll just have to go places that's free, or that she can spend her own money on things that she wants! I don’t have any extra money unless I go on one of my taking back stuff rampages! Does anyone else around here do that?? I don't want her to leave!! If I could... I'd adopt her and let her go to college out here!! But my parents want her back. My mom is having that surgery for her stomach.. lap-band.. or whatever it is! I hope it goes good! Well I'm back up to 142! But oh well... I lost 1 inch from my waist and 1 inch from my hips since July 2nd, so I'll take that then! I didnt measure my thighs and stuff last time... that's where I want to lose the most! My hubby tried to make me feel better telling me... well muscle weighs more than fat! But I somehow don't believe that no matter how much someone tells me that! I've read different articles... all I know for a fact is that muscle takes up less space.... but no one has proven to me yet that it weighs more. I think that is just a cop out to make people feel better... maybe it's just me! But it pissed me off a little because I was 1 lb behind my sister.. she was 139.. now she is 135. I cant catch up now! I bought me some stacker 2's but they make me sick to my stomach of course.... I took them 2 days ago.. and they still make me sick.. But oh well. I will take them.. I don't have anything else! I've been eating terrible. Either not eating at all, and then eating a big meal at night... or just eating all day.. I havent really journaled in a couple of days. I've been writing down stuff today of what I can remember... but I'm slacking off big time! I ate two burgers for the barbq.. but I added my own wheat buns, fatfree mayo, cheese, etc. I've been craving sweets and chocolate.. that is my problem.. I can't shake it!! I dont know what to do anymore.... I just hope we have enough money next week, because I 'm going to order 2 months supply of those adipex. My hubby doesnt even know I take them.. he would have a fit. Anyways Today... we are going to go somewhere! I don't know where yet... It isnt supposed to rain, but it looks like it is! I have to go exercise before it is too late! I will talk with yaw’l later! Love Jay~~


BTW~ Sue... YOU LOOK GREAT!! 25 lbs makes a lot of difference doesnt it! Sometimes you have to take pictures or measurements to acutally realize how well you have done!

Heather- Hope you are doing great!

Jamie- I think that it's about the same.. but now I am craving a lot of sweets and not eating all the tv dinners and stuff like before.. I'm not really sure though!

We got a puppy on Friday night it a american eskie toy spitz. She is so cute.... I didn't exercise yesterday all we did was walk and took puppy to park today I'm gonna try to workout a lil more... Hope everyone has a wonderful day........So can't post comments today have to go buy food with the little money we have..

Hello Everyone…

Jaime (hippiechick) – Yeah, it has definitely helped me see what is happening. Especially when you can’t see it in person. They say it’s harder to tell when you see yourself or someone all the time. So I figured pictures would help and it definitely did!

Jaymi_dol – Thanks! It definitely does help. Measurements are good to, specially if you do weight lifting to loose weight. Because muscle weighs more than fat, you may end up gaining weight during the process, so if you keep track of your measurements, you will be able to tell if you have lost inches.

Scorchin – AWW! I wanna see what she looks like. Sounds adorable! Have you figured out a name yet? I am looking to get a dog soon, but we have to fix up the backyard first. When we bought this house it had no grass, so now weeds have taken over and they got these really mean thorny weeds back there. We worked on the front yard first, still working on it but eventually we’ll get to the backyard hehehehe.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I’m going back to my parents place to help sand down some more kitchen cabinets to re-varnish. Take care everyone!

WHERE IS EVERYONE I THINK U GUYS ALL RAN AWAY!!!!! I'm feeling much better today. However, I'm very hungry today and can't seem to get full tonight my hubby wants fajitas I'm just gonna eat a my fat free beans and tortillas...... My puppy dizzy decided that she likes to sleep inside James boots, she really likes his socks and clothes guess she likes the way he smells eeewwww... My meds are making swell up like the girl from Charlie and the chocalate factory hehe...
Well I'm off to do some pilates James now has to do PT twice a day so now i have one whole hour to do exercises, hope everyone has a great day.... Heather

Hello Everyone…

Hi Heather... is that the pic of your puppy? A little difficult to see, but cute none-the-less... How do you like your pilates workout? My sister gave me her pilates video cause she got the tae bo one now. I’ve been debating on it heheheh… I like my Walking Away the Pounds videos and the Kathy Smith “Lifting Weight to loose Wieght” video. Oh and I can’t forget my Ricahrd Simmons video… Sweating to the Oldies 2 heheheh he’s so adorable! I’d like to know what happened to everyone too…

I was running around like a chicken with her head cut off yesterday. I was running around looking for software and other study aides for my exam coming up. I didn’t get home from my friends place til late. Then I just didn’t want to do anything else. I woke up with a sore neck, must have slept wrong, so I didn’t do much exercising on Monday, and the same thing with today. I was hoping it would go away fast. Hurts to turn my neck in either direction, but it’s not as bad today. I’ve been sticking with just walking. I did a mile yesterday and so far I have a mile today in the morning. It was so hot this morning at 7:30 so I couldn’t sleep so I got up and did some walking, then jumped in the shower.

I’m thinking about putting those solar window treatments on my windows. At least for the backside where the sun hits it in the morning. The evening sun is not so bad, but that morning sun really heats the backside of the house, and of course my bedroom and the kids bedroom are there. The window treatment is suppose to be like a film you stick to your windows, like when you tint the windows on your car. I’m debating on doing just the backside of the house or all of it. It’s suppose to help with the temperature as well… I know it keeps the heat down, but I wonder if it helps hold cool air in during the summer. Guess I’ll be making a trip down to Home Depot hehehehe.

I hope everyone is doing well… *big warm hugs to everyone*

hey girls just checkin in....... everyone must be busy this week, i will be back later.....Jamie
