60 minutes on the elliptical...

longest ever...crawling to shower.........

@ urockmom! Hey at least you are actually making it to the shower. Good job on a great work out. You go girl!

Woohoo, Urock!! U ROCK GIRL!! 60 minutes on an elliptical, now that's a feat!! It's so great to see you have your fire back!!

Thank you ladies for the congrats on my lb loss! I am SO happy to be out of the 190s!! Now I am off to do my final strength training of the month of May to meet goal!! Woohoo!!

urockmom~ you do indeed ROCK! WTG girlie!! Now I hope you're enjoying a nice long relaxing shower! I still haven't made it to the shower yet...the way I figure it, there's no sense in being all squeaky clean when there's deep cleaning to do! So needless to say, I'm not heading that way until I can get the cleaning done and *hopefully* get my cardio workout in! Yes girls, I'm going to shoot for getting the girls down for a nap and heading downstairs letting the boys watch a movie so they can be my ears should the girls wake up!

Jacqui~ get 'er done girl!!! Congrats on making it to your last ST'ing workout for May! Btw, have you eaten yet today?

Okay, cleaning break over--back to the grind!

Thanks girls!

A long hot shower and some food and I am feeling MUCH better.

Nothing like those endorphins to make you keep pushing!

Jacqui~ Go for the girlie!

Crazy~No, I never shower before I clean. The dirt just ends right on me. Enjoy having a clean house and good luck with the workout.

woweeeeeeeeee chickies, we have a few pages since I was here yesterday afternoon! I just love reading all of your news and posts. Happy Friday everyone : ). Seems like the week flew!

Jacqui and crazymamaof4, congratulationssssss girls on the losses What a nice way to start the weekend. wtg!

Jacqui, congrats on the new decadeeeeeeeee girl! that is awesome Thanks Jacqui, yes feeling ok now and thus able to get those minutes in. Oh, congratsssss on your minutes too and knocking on met goal! wtg Jacqui. As for TOM, your kicking it's hiney and had that loss...hope you feel well and have a super weekend

crazymama, hi there! I agree with what urockmom said regarding why your friend may h ave not commented on your weight loss. I never would of thought that before signing up with 3fc but it so totally possible and common even I g uess. I remember reading some pretty lengthy threads in the support section about others not commenting on weight loss. I wasssssss so suprised at the responses (as I love it when people comment on my weight loss). Many many of them said they themselves don't comment on someone's loss for fear of insulting them because they themselves are sensitive to it. Some women are very senstive to such comments but I think it really depends on how it's done and said....a lot of women said a simple "you look great" would do! Anyhow, being the kind of friend you say she is...she may of not wanted to bring that up with you in any way and prob even looks a little past it because she loves YOU. sounds good to me right now kid! Feel better. Your doing awesome and congrats once again on your successes

posting , brb

Looks like I will get my old name back. Suzanne3FC said I could. She just needs to change the email associated with the account. Which is weird because when I originally stopped getting the notifications, someone suggested changing my email because apparently verizon.net has issues. So I did, that did not start the notifications up and inevitably disabled the account. So what does one do if they do change their email provider. Seems like they have some kinks to work out.
Congrats on a drug-free scale!!! That's awesome!!!

Thank you!!! I feel so special!!!

jasonsLea, I agree with the girls....drink a lot of water especially now and that lb. should come right off. No plans yet here for the weekend and that's how I want it! lol. Had the fest last weekend which was great but this weekend we are just going to wing it. The weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow so we are thinking of going walking....maybe even to the shore. Have a great weekend girl : ).

Jacquee, hi t here girl. You look great! I am sorry you have been having trouble with your account. I have no idea why you were not able to receive notifications (you mean emails?). Keep us posted. Your our Jacquee regardless of what nick you have : ). THink mom and Sophia

Hi newshinyme . Glad you had a great time with your girlfriend yesterday and congrats on her new little one! right back at you! THe minutes are going good girl ...it just feels so good to be there again. I did 95 min. yesterday and ohhhhhh I did some yoga. I really needed to start doing a little bit of flexibility exercises to round off my program and boy....I felt it this morning! lol. Regarding the wii, I have the wii fit and really enjoy. I looked up the fitness coach a few nights ago and it got a lot of good reviews (our delphi has it as I'm sure you know). A lot of the reviews say that the fitness coach is more of a workout or more aerobic in nature (though of course there is always some debate). It does sound very good. Hope you had a good workout and happy friday girl .

Delphiiiiiii, thanks girl Hope the party went great yesterday. Take care of those sore muscles chicky. Those particular muscles may need a days rest .......are you thinking , "no sh*t sherlock?" Dh and I toss that at each other once in a while, lol. Your doing awesome.......have a wonderful time at the zoo tomorrow

urockmom, you are so funny! I love your posts! Like Delphi said, at least you made it to the shower! lol wtg on the workout urockmom! you As for the weather, bliax for sure. I think it is supposed to clear up later this afternoon and I am hoping for that walk but I am going to go workout now a bit. DH is coming early after root canal and also a lot of times if I wait too long to work out......I may not end up doing it! Can't have that! Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and in the 70's! ok chicky, you have a good one...we will chat soon.

Lene, how are you doing? A big hi to all of you girls. All is well here. Oh, we went to dinner with my parents last night and I got the haddock as planned. It was nice to get out for a bit. Okay girls, I better get a move on and get my tush moving. Keep up the awesome work girls...let's keep on truckin Chat soon, Happy Friday and have a great start to the weekend.

Jacqueeeeeeeeeeeee, yaY. Oh, I am glad. Also glad you found and got a hold of Suzanne (that lady is a peach) and that everything will be straightened out.

Holy cow...I caught up on messages, but it took awhile! Congrats on the pounds lost/new decades acheived, 3FC problems being repaired, and incredible workouts completed!!!
I am actually up a few tenths today...I'm guessing it's salt-related since I've been ever-vigilant on the workouts, and eating fairly clean. My WW weigh-in was okay-no loss, no gain. I was actually happy with that since last week was super-low since I'd been outside working all that day and was quite dehydrated. I'm still hopeful that my goal will be reached by the 31st.
On another note, I am getting the internet at my in-laws FINALLY starting June 3rd!!!! So, for the June challenge, I can actually participate better and log my exercise in the sister thread! YIPPEE!!

Hello yet again Chickies! Just taking a sec to update:

I got my treadmill workout in! Yeah! One of the girls decided not to nap, but the boys were great and kept an eye on her while I was downstairs.

House is just about done too! I had those boys cleaning like little mad men! I'm actually kind of stunned! They helped clean the livingroom, cleaned their bathroom, the half bath, picked up all of their stuff and took it to their room, helped me fold a load of laundry, vacuumed and dusted the livingroom and a few other little things while I was scouring the entire kitchen (minus the floors--that's next). I know it sounds like they did the bulk of the cleaning, but my kitchen was insane and I spent the whole time in there cleaning while they were doing their chores too. I promise, no child labor laws were broken

Anyway, just finished lunch and I'm super icky now after my workout so I'm off to shower!! I'll check back later and post personals!

I hope you're drinking your water girls!!!!!!!

That's great news Ms. P, I bet your excited. It sure will be nice having you around more often.

Crazymomma ~ Good for you getting that workout in and letting the boys help with house work. Some kids don't even know the meaning of "helping out" around the house. I think you are doing just fine kiddo!

FSA ~ Yeah, I didn't really think it would bother me as much as it did, but I'll drink extra water and I'm taking in a few more calories today just to get a little extra protein circulating in my system. Perhaps that will help. I highly doubt I'll be strength training tomorrow. Think I'll stick to my cardio.

CMof4, it wasn't exactly on time, but I HAVE eaten! Thanks girlie! Your boys are great! I think it's wonderful that they are helping you out like that! Their future wives will thank you, lol!! Great job on getting your workout in on the treadmill!

Ms_P, congrats on getting the internet! It's so great that we'll see you around more in June!

Joci, I'll go change your name back then on the June lists, woohoo!

FSA, thanks!! And great job staying OP last night!!

Well, I think I'm beginning to see a pattern--I retain water weight during the week prior to TOM and then on the day TOM comes to visit, I drop a lb! Yep, TOM has come to visit, but hey, it's all good as long as I lose weight, lol! Now, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it won't be too bad and powerwalking this weekend won't be too painful!

Jacqui ~ You are gonna do just fine. TOM will try his best to discourage you, but you tell him to kiss it. But on losing that pound.

Alright ladies, I need to start cooking "good" meals. I eat good meals, but most of it's pre-packaged stuff. Sooooo, I need a cook book. Actually, I need a cook book for dummies. I'm not a cook, I don't even have a full set of measuring cups...well to be honest, I may only have one measuring cup...ok, I might not even have one......my point, is I need a "entry level" cook book with healthy meals that taste good. I'm such a picky eater that most cook books go to waste. I wouldn't dare eat half the things they cook. I'm a southern gal. Meat and potatoes type of gal. We keep things simple and fried down here and unfortunately I can't fry anything. Soooo, any suggestions would be great! Simple, low cal, healthy, GOOD recipes in a book...yeah!

It's probably worthy to note that I have trouble boiling water...

This is a desperate plea for HELP ladies!
