Happy Monday Girls!!!

Soooo, how are we all doing concerning our Labor Day challenge? The big day will be here in exactly 7 days.

What will you reward yourself with if you reached your goal? and what will you do if you didn't quite make your goal? I'd like to hear you alls ideas.

Good Luck to you all!!

Hey Girlys!!! Where is everyone?

I know everyone is probably busy, I started back at school last week, and things have been crazy at work. Just wanted to ck in and see what was happening with everyone.

today was my last day of working the two jobs, so tomorrow i should have more time to write. everything is going well, i haven't been able to exercise yet this week but i will tomorrow.

tonight at work, something strange happened. well i guess not strange, but it felt strange. this guy who comes in asked me out. and i gave him my number! i have a boyfriend, so i have no idea what i was thinking. well, a few things. one, i am one of those people who doesn't really want to say no because it might make him uncomfortable or embarassed, and two, it's really flattering to have someone ask me out, and he's cute. i was thinking about maybe going and hanging out with him, but that would be really wrong... i think i'm crazy!!!!

Hey megan,

Go hang out with him, just make sure he knows you have a bf, then you get a new friend rather than all the stress of dating!!

Well your not technically doing anything wrong, you can never have enough guy friends that's how I see it..Most of my friends are ALL guys, there better to talk to sometimes. Just make sure he understands yes you have a boyfriend but you have no problem going out and meeting other people on a 'friend' basis, but you never know sometimes the scary thing is what happens if you end up liking this guy! Let your boyfriend now he's just a friend and you two are hangin out, make sure he doesn't flip out first!

Well some exciting news, I got engaged on friday night..My boyfriend popped hte big question the funny thing was that was the night I was attached to my heart monitor for all my test, the thing was beeping all crazy it was pretty funny! After 10 minutes of asking "are you shitting me? are you shitting me" and crying I finally said yes ..i'm a nutball But we both decided not for another two years then I should be out of school, as long as I get through math...I hate it it's my worse subject and I"m trying SOOO hard! I've been working and goin to school like a dog all week...it's exhausting after awhile! I've only hit the tred mill like 2 times this week and did some crunches here and there! But I have lost 2lbs...so i'm down to 118 which I"m excited about cause last tuesday my weight was back up to 125 then I got off my 'period' and it went down to 120 again..then I jumped on last night and sure enough 118 popped up..i was excited...I've been doing really good eating oatmeal and MY NEW FAVE CEREAL....RAISIN BRAN CRUNCH it has granola and stuff in it...SO SO SO GOOD...i eat it dry in the morning..as a snack to hold me over. I was checking out the nutrition panel on it comparing it to my Kashi Go lean Crunch...there both measured off on a 1cup thing but kashi has 4gm of fat and raisin bran crunch only has 1gm and both have 190cal....i thought that was great..listen to me babble...I have to go get ready for class!

talk you ladies later....

Mel

happy hump day all! and happy Sept 1st!!! Can you believe it is already Sept?

Congrats Mellbell on your engagement!

Congradulations Mellbell! That is so exciting! I get sooo freaked out when my boyfriend starts talking about getting married...I guess I'm just not ready yet! Tanny, I give my number out to guys at bars all the time, just to get them to stop talking to me! My bf thinks its funny and I NEVER go out with them unless they know i have a boyfriend...anyway, so i wouldn't worry about it.
So i went to dinner last night with two friends and i ate SO BAD. I can't even admit what I ate it is so heinous. BUT I am totally op today, and i know that just because you have one bad day you can't give up. so next time i go out to eat, i need to remember how horrible i felt last night! that will definitely keep me from eating that bad of food! ick, i don't even want to weight in this week but i may depending on how i feel. i hope everyone is having a better day than i am!

It seems like everyone on this board is getting married!! congrats mellbell! i dont feel anywhere near ready to get married, its hard to imagine being with one person for the rest of my life.

you guys are too funny, but i think my boyfriend would flip if i said, ever so casually, "so yeah I met this guy at the salon and we are going to hang out, alone, just as friends though, of course." it sounds kind of strange doesnt it? lol.

i feel absolutely skinny this week, i can't weight (get it, haha) to weigh myself tomorrow. i have to admit it though, i dont think i have been eating enough and i would like to eat more, but im so busy during the day with my new job that i barely even remember to take a break and eat. i have been packing my lunch so i am doing better at reminding myself.

yea I hear ya, I haven't had time to stop and enjoy a meal since schools started back up again and work! I'm always on the go...I just been livin off coffee and little bags of cereal I trot around with! lol..

well tanny I understand the boyfriend freak out situation...I COULD HEAR IT NOW!!!! lol..my boyfriend would freak out...for sure more likely if he didn't know the person. If he knew them and we all hung out and he was a friend yea MAYBE he'd be ok...

well off to jump in the shower...gotta get ready for class!

TTYL!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey gals, bit of a new thread in weekly chat...

This week (well past 2 days really..) I've been blowing the plastic on clothes!! I've lost about 8lbs in a few weeks, after being stuck at 182 for years! So i figured I'd go treat myself!!

I've ordered 2 T shirts off the net (to go with my motorbike gear), I bought 2 strappy tops for £3 each yesterday (they were both UK 12, I'm usually 14 or 16) and a T shirt from H & M.

Today I went to Primark and got a skinny brown cardigan for £6 and a white wrinkled shirt for £6, 2 pairs of socks(!!!) and a weird vest top with pockets. Then I came home and ordered some green cords from Topshop cos I couldn't find them in the stores!

So I am completely spent up, and thought I'd share that with you just to stop me spending any more money on clothes!!

I'm now gonna do some sewing and alterations to some of my non-new clothes, to make them fit better!

Laters!

2frustrated: Wow, isn't it fun to go shopping now? I know how exciting it is to lose weight and go shopping! Too fun!! You go girl! Congrats on the 8 lbs loss.

Happy Friday everyone! what is everyone's plan for the long labor day weekend? I'll be studying I just got all my books for classes and I'm behind because of it, so I'll be working on my spanish and chemistry...woo hoo!

Hello everybody! Hoping you are all having a wondeful week. Big congrats to mellbell on the engagement! Getting married tomorrow, so I'm busy , busy , busy , but I wanted to stop in and say hello. Good luck with the battle of the bulge, my ladies, because I'm going to be on my honeymoon until the 11th and I plan to eat whatever I want (excluding binging and not overeating as much as possible). But when we get back, both my husband and I will be (back) on plan and I'm going to lose this last chuck o' weight. Have a wonderful week! Bye ladies!

Hey girls! I have been so busy it's unbelieveable and horrible. I really wish I had more time to focus on staying on track, but it's hard to remember to do that. I wish I could just break the barrier that is detaining me from remebering small important things.

Mell: Congrats!!! That is so exciting.

Jenicra: enjoy your wedding day! Savor every moment

I hope everyone has a great looong weekend!

Jenicra - yay! Have fun at the wedding, you are going to look so beautiful!! and have fun on your honeymoon too, make sure to tell us all about it when you get back.

so i noticed that we don't have a weigh-in thread for this week and i didnt really feel like starting one because im lazy and the week is almost over anyway. i weigh 155 now. 5 pounds to mini goal. yay!!

How did everyone choose their goal weight? Choosing a goal weight was hard for me, because I want it to be something that I am not going to kill myself to maintain, and where i look healthy, which is hard to decide because i dont think im really going to know until i get there.

have a great labor day week ladies!!
