Keeping on, welcome to the challenge and good luck on your goal!

Everyone seems to be doing so well. That is great news!

Tab, being at goal, you can indulge once in a while, but I'm glad to hear that you are back on track today. I'm going to check out your pictures as soon as I post this reply.

I wasn't able to workout today because I caught my husband's cold and am so achy. I really hope it's just a 24-hour one.

Sansy- Sorry to hear you are sick.


I too missed my workout yesterday. I was just too tired. I came home from work laid down and the next thing I know it was 3:30 am!

Tonight I am going to get my hair cut and colored. I am super excited I need a new look.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day

Nikki

Nikki, please post pictures of your new Do?

So much for The 17 Day Diet! In the four days my husband and I have been doing it, we've each lost a WHOPPING half pound. Where are the huge pound-a-day losses I've been reading about?!? I should have realized it was too good to be true. Back to my protein diets.

I'm feeling a little better and plan to do the easier Callanetics dvd today, even if I have to stop a few times. I don't want to start losing what I've already gained with my workouts.

Stay healthy everyone!

Everybody is doing sooooo well! I'm really proud of everyone. Congrats on your losses ninepaw, beck and khumphrey!!

Glad you're feeling better Sandy, and I'm sorry the 17-day diet was a let-down.

Thanks Tab! I feel better than yesterday, but I tried to do my workout and felt a little dizzy. I'd better wait it out another day.

I think I'll send Lindsy a pm. I'm really starting to get worried about her because she usually posts daily.

Dear my sweeties,

I am fine, sorry for making you all worry. A lot has been happening for me these past days. Staying at work late, get up and goon to work at 5am. I'm the middle of all that, car problems. And new management in my apt complex.

But, in the most of all that, yours truly got a new job offer. Yes my dear, I will be out of retail. Thank goodness. I'm on my last thread with Sears. Especially during the holidays.

The new job is proof that god exists! Ill finally be full time, benefits, vacation, SALARY! This morning at 8am I had my second interview with the VP of the company. Like it was no big deal. But inside I was freaking out. Haha

I'm so sorry for not Checking in and making yall worry. when I get a chance I'll read through all the posts I missed and catch up on all of your progress.

I'm sorry for my absence again. Just been having a busy week.

Love, Lindsy

Hi all ....


I had my " official weigh in today and am down only 1 lb this week so 4.2 lost towards t-day goal. I'm wondering if it is because the last week or so I've barely made 1000 calories . I've been so busy forgetting to eat. I am going to make sure I eat 1400 and see if I get a bigger loss next week. Also I was hoping my hair cut would be a pound .. no such luck.


Lindsay good luck with your interview.

Sandy It will not allow me to post a picture until I have posted 25 posts. I have 4 more to do then I'll share a picture

Lindsy, I was so happy to see that you posted. I had a feeling it was related to your job. And congratulations on the new job offer! I wish you the best with that. So, will this be an office job?

Nikki, how about putting up a new pic of your haircut/style in your profile picture? I do agree that eating too few calories can slow down your weight loss.

Same weight for me, but when I'm sick and taking medicine, for some reason I do not lose weight. I hope to feel better soon. This morning I feel worse than yesterday.

Down to 216.5 this morning. Rocking a new pair of AE Jeggings. Amazed at the difference in quality between them and the Old Navy ones I have. I've been buying 1 or 2 pairs of jeans each size I go down so hopefully I won't break the bank. Tops I can get away with wearing longer it seems without looking too sloppy. I just hate it when my pants don't fit well.

Nikki! I want too see the new hair too!! Mine is long and a chocolate brown color. I ordered some clip in extensions the other day to give me more volume. I've always dreamed of having big, sexy hair and extensions are apparently the only way I'm going to get that.

Sandy- Medication sucks. I've been trying not to take any because it always seems to stall my weight loss too.

Lindsy- Thats awesome about the new job! Congratulations!!

Thank you!

It's not an office job, but I'll be a bank teller.
And it is official, as of tonight, I no longer work retail. Hallelujah!

I have a 2 week vacation before my next job starts. That means, much needed time off! This is the first vacation I have had since I started working there 3 years ago!

Good news with my weightloss - Through all the stress with getting the interviews and everything, I didn't gain, but I have maintained.
I didn't go to the gym, or think about what I was eatting. Just did whatever. I'm very happy I didn't gain.

I've read though all these posts and you gals are doing SO great! I'm so happy for all of you and your achievements!

Keep it up, Turkey day is around the corner!

Morning all-


I think I changed my avatar to my new do. Last night I splurged I had a kids meal at McDonalds. I know it is crap food but I wanted to see if it kick started my metabolism. Tgis morning I am down another .2 so we shall see.

We are in the middle of selling our house and an offer is on the table. We will know later today or tomorrow if it will work.I am on edge and trusting the universe will handle it. All things happen for a reason right???


Hope you are all having a healthy day

Nikki

Congrats on the new job, Lindsy!!

Your hair looks fab, Nikki!

Way to rock the jeggings, Lambiechop!

Sandy, I'm sorry to hear you're doing worse. I really hope you are fully recovered soon, and can get off the medicine and back to powering through to your goals like I know you will. Is your family helping out and making sure you get the rest you need?

Thanks Tab! Well, my husband is also sick, so we're taking care of one another. I am feeling much better today, just a stuffy nose. Even though I still took medicine yesterday, I'm back down to 195. So I'm going to try to not take any medicine today and see if it drops tomorrow. I need to see a drop because I haven't lost anything since Monday...and Thanksgiving is just 2 weeks away now, and I've still got 5 pounds to lose!!!

By the way, I love your avatar picture. ♥ So nice to see your pretty face. I changed mine, too, and decided to add my two new boyfriends. As you can see, they just adore me. LMAO!

Lindsy, congratulations, girl!!! And way to go maintaining throughout all of that. Now, you be a good girl on your vacation. You don't want to undo all that hard work, right? And what a coincidence that you'll be a bank teller; my sister will soon be interviewing for the same position.

Lambie, I know what you mean about clothes that don't fit well. I hate having to buy more clothes with each big drop in weight, though, so I go cheap when I do. When I get to goal, though, that's when I get the good stuff. It is amazing how much better clothes fit when you get the good quality stuff.

Nikki, loving the new haircut and style. That is the perfect length. It's sexy and you can still pull in back in a pony tail to work out.

Okay, stuffy nose or not, I've got to get my workout in today. I don't want to start getting soft again.

Let's go, girls! Only 14 days 'til turkey day. Our goals are within sight!!

OMG, Sandy, I can't believe your new pic! You look gorgeous, duh, but geez, how do you get anything done with those two hanging all over you all the time!

I had to take my new pic last night, since my grandmother has Alzheimer's and is forgetting who we are. The docs said it helps to have face pics of her family up in her room, even if it doesn't help her memory, it cheers her up to see happy faces, even more so when she remembers who they are. I hope she likes all the pics we're putting up!

I know...it's a curse I will just have to bear.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother. We had to go through that with our grandmother, too. It's so sad when they don't remember who you are.
