Weigh In this morning.
I am down 1.4 pounds for a total of 41
I am so excited - 3 lbs to go for my Valentines Day goal

After thinking I gained last week I'm actually down 2.8lbs.

I was so excited I wanted to cry when she told me. If this keeps up I'll be at my V-day goal this week. Then I can focus on my next goal...St. Patty's day.

So far that's at least 1lb lost every week. Here's to keeping the streak going.

I lost 12 and half inches this month!

Hey ladies... mind if I join you?? I had WI last night and lost 2.6 to hit my Ground Hog's Day goal, so now I need another short-term goal and thought this would be perfect! I'm setting a goal of 4 pounds since it's 2 weeks away. I'd REALLY love to see the 190s again. It's been a while.

A little about me... Dh & are are getting ready to do IVF this spring. Our consult is March 8th and I'm in a mad dash to drop some much UNWANTED weight by then. Our actual procedure will be some time in April, so I'm working at getting as healthy as I can by then. Dh has to do an 8-week fitness challenge for a college class, so I told him I'd do that same. I'm joining the gym and dedicated my weekday nights to workingout. I also walk during lunch with my best friend (1 1/2 miles) and play broomball on Wednesday nights. My fear is that the doctor will tell me my weight could be a factor in getting a baby to stick for the long haul, so I'm trying to help that factor.

Otherwise... I look forward to cheering you all on for the next 2 weeks!

angel-eyes~ I am doing little better but sinuses still messed up bad. Please watch your tooth could still go bad.

Hi Cryket....NOW YOU TELL ME!!!...lol This morning was supposed to be my permanent crown day but when I got there she said there was no way with all the pain I was (still) in that it could be done. Apparently the prep work 2 weeks ago, shocked the nerve and it started to die. She made a phone call to a specialist and within the hour I had an appt for a root canal!!! 9 needles later.....the pain was so intense, that's how many I needed......the root canal was done!!! HOLY COW!!! Child birth was easier!!!

Thanks , I hope you are feeling some relief now also.....btw....I did get some good meds to really knock me out tonight!! hehe....I just might sleep through the night tonight

cryket34 · 02-02-2006, 06:29 AM

Angel-eyes ~ I am sorry to hear about your tooth. I also had a root canal done on a different tooth~ And I tell ya never again~ So thats why I had this abcessed tooth pulled~ Just wish sinuses would straighten out. So I know the pain you are going through~ Yes childbirth lot easier. I hope you also get feeling better.

me again just testing to see if my ticker working ! seems didnt above

Hildy · 02-02-2006, 08:28 AM

This year is flying by so fast and it seems as if everyones weight is flying off too! Isn't it funny how we go through spurts together..everyones loses, everyone gains that is what the support is all about. Great job everyone! We are all so close to hitting our vday goals already!
I am having trouble getting the scale to budge so I am headed back to the gym for another workout...fifth day in a row. I have had so much good news this week that I have been watching what I put into my mouth but not as closly as I should, five days until weigh in so I am putting myself in check!
Goodluck everybody and I hope you all start to feel better soon..that tooth thing sounds awful!

Bobaloola · 02-03-2006, 02:54 PM

Angel-eyes... so sorry about the root canal. Those things are AWFUL!! I had my wisdom teeth out and a root canal within a year of each other. Needless to say... the dentist is not my favorite outting! Hope you heal quickly!

dolphinlover · 02-03-2006, 08:06 PM

Hello everyone-- I am feeling bad for you guys with the dental issues. I think the two most bothersome places to be hurt/infected etc. are the mouth and the feet!! Hope you all are feeling better soon. On a good note, I am down 6.5 total, so I am hoping to make my V-day goal!! How are you all doing????

I have TOM, (anyone want him next? ) and I have been snacking!! I don't know whats going on.....yesterday I was bored and snacking too much....so I went to Kohl's for their 80% off clearance. I found some ADORABLE skirts and tops ranging from $2.00 -$5.00. I had a blast trying on some 14's !!! woohooo.....

can't believe it anyways, I came home and promptly had a candy bar.

Old habits die hard....I guess I thought that I had 'earned' it somehow. Now that made me mad.!!!

I journaled it but it really pissed me off. I had gone to the gym and worked damn hard on the treadmill for a 760 calorie burn just to throw it away with a 300 calorie choc. bar!!! TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND EFFORT!!!

I still evened out with 1547 calories for the day, but?? TODAY IS A NEW DAY....and I'm feeling better. Just moving on to a better frame of mind. Sometimes I can justify almost anything. Today I'm wearing a really nice sweater that I'm embarrassed to say I've never even worn. I bought it about 5 years ago.....and it never fit...BUT IT DOES NOW!!! So thats my reminder today to eat OP and to think positive thoughts.

I know it's a little late, but im joining this challenge. I want to lose 3lbs by Valentines day... That will put me at 199, So I will finally be under 200. I cant get the tickers to work keeps telling me that its no longer available. I have been doing really well and Im down 4lbs today when I weighed in.... Im so excited. I 22 days so about 3 weeks to lose weight before I go to England. I would be so happy to lose 8lbs before I go, I know that will be a hard challenge, but Im definately aiming at 6lbs, that's 2lbs a week which is a healthy loss.

cryket34 · 02-06-2006, 08:23 PM

I am doing well with my gaols but want to make sure I keep myself accountable daily. Sounds like you are all doing well, I hope to follow your lead. Although I see the scale moving, my clothes feel bigger and I am being consistent with diet and exercise I feel like I am not loosing. So I hope if I meet this v day challenge I will feel I am really loosing. So off to a good start, to us all.
