Morning!

Gym- thanks for the encouragement. DH and I were celebrating nine years. As for you, there is defiitely no hurry to be married as you are nice and young ! My daughter is 20 and I think she is too young as well!
Enjoy your youth and carpe diem!

Chrgrl- are you the good kind of sore from the iceskating?

Hope everyone has a fantastic day and enjoy the Super Bowl if you are football folks!

Michele

Just dropping in for a min.

Msrubi - Glad you haved joined us, welcome!

Thin - Hope your household is well soon.

Monet - nice to read you are in a good mood today.

All - Enjoy this Sunday, work your food program.

I guess I will go over and watch the Super Bowl with
friends just to be socialable. I really have no interest
in either one of these teams so whoever wins is OK
with me. I do enjoy a good close game so I hope it's
worth watching. I plan to be on my p's and q's when
refreshments are served. Bye for now, SMW

213 / 209 1/2 / 187 (First Goal) 3 1/2 pounds gone baby gone!!!

Hi there-
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I am trying so hard not to cave into the desire to eat sweets. So far so good, but darn it's hard. Just finishing up some chores today and will probably watch the football game later on. I don't really follow football at all, but I usually watch the Super Bowl. I really don't care who wins, just hope it's a tight game.
Enjoy the day!

Gymrat-Oh God, I'm tired just reading your list.LOL. Actually I work 2 jobs, but one of them is only 2-3 times a week in the evening for a couple of hours. It is better to be busy than bored. WTG with your weight loss so far!!

Thinw/in-Hope everyone turns a corner fast and is feeling well soon.

Chrgrl-I tried to ice skate about 7 yrs. ago. My ankles hurt so much I could barely stand up. I hope you're not too sore!

Msrubi- I'm fairly new too. What a very nice bunch of people there are here. Sweets are my downfall too. That's too funny that you used to live in Bethel. I love this town, but not the weather.

Dtrmnd-I just realized I can't post an image until I have at least 25 posts. I will try to navigate you to the pagein my next post. Happy Anniversary!

Sparkle-Who can resist those biscuits at Red Lobster? No worries-you're back on track.

Monet-I'm going to lead you guys to the picture in my next post. I need a certain # of posts before I can post an image-sorry.

SMW-Enjoy the game with your friends. I don't follow football either. I also don't know who to root for. I'm originally from NY but I lived In CT for over 20 yrs now. Talk about confused!!

I FOUND THE "FAT"

Go to the U.K. Fat Chicks in the Support Forum. Click on EASTER in the LAST POST column, and then go to page 4. It's posted by scottisdiane.

I told you a pound is a lot.

overall i didn't get too sore, but i think i was so sore at the end of last week after doing a lower body workout that i may have not even noticed.

today we had lunch at chile's after church and i think i did pretty well. i had a bowl of chili and half of a caesar side salad (no croutons). i don't know if it was all legal, but it was probably close. the chili was good, but i looked it up on calorieking and it was 420 calories! oh well, i think the damage could have been far worse.

Good morning everyone!

I have a funny story to share with you. My doctor prescribes an anti-anxiety medication for me. I only take it when I feel I need it, which isn't that often. Well I was just feeling anxiety ridden yesterday so I waited until the evening to take it because it makes me tired.
The other thing it does apparently, is makes me eat, but I have no memory of it in the morning! My daughter says I went to the fridge last night about 7:30 (I was watching the SB game) took out a piece of grilled chicken, offered her a bite and then went upstairs and went to bed. I totally didn't believe her. She said "Mom you did, I swear!!" I ran downstairs, opened the fridge and sure eough there was the empty plate with the saran wrap neatly put back on the empty plate. This is the second time I've done this. The other time was close to a month ago and I ate freshly baked banana bread which I had no desire for before I took my pill.
I told Gable (my daughter) that next time I need one of those pills I'm going to tell her before hand and she has to make sure I don't eat anything else. I had eaten my day's allotment already and that ticked me off. At least it was just grilled chicken.
On the positive side, Gable said I am very generous when sharing my food. Apparently I kept offering her bites!!
I weighed in today and am 191!!! I am eating 1200 calories a day but I am so happy with my weight loss. That's 4 pounds down this week. I did a lot of house work over the weekend, I guess I burned some calories. I'd love to be 185 by the time I get to Florida (march 6th).

I hope everyone sees a good result on the scale today-Chris

Chris: that is fantastic weight loss. I am shooting for 200 by March 11. Today I will weigh when I get to work, but after Red Lobster Saturday, I'm not expecting any loss.

Everyone have a great day.

Thanks Sparkle. I know there will come a time when I hit a plateau, so I'll just have to remember that when the scale isn't budging. Here's hoping for a weight loss for you too. You might surprise yourself and see that needle go down!! Hang in there no matter what-we'll do it together.

Good morning ladies, Had a nice weekend. The wedding was nice, but the food was horrible. Yesterday we stayed home and watched the SB. I was so glad the Giants won. I just love Eli Manning or any Manning for that matter. Just me & DH & Rudy. so we had chicken wings and chips and cheese & margaritas. Not a good day of eating, but putting it behind me. Way too much salt and stuff, my lovely scale was up 10 lbs today. So it will take 2 days to get that back off. I never learn.
Going to have a great week. Lent starts Wed, so eating will be minimal Wed and fish on Fridays.

Bob, how about those Manning's. Gotta love Eli, He is a cutie. I loved how they kept showing Peyton cheering for him.

SMW, sometimes we have to take one day at a time, others, one hour at a time. One slip is not the ned of the world. You are smart to put it behind you had go on. That is thekey.

Gym, with all that work I don't see how you have etime to eat plus the exercise. I LOVE Yakee candles. They smell so good.

Thin, hope you are feeling better. That stuff is going around and it lasts about 1 week. Take care of yourself.

Chrgrl, Wow, I am impressed that after 15 years you could ice skate with no problems. I bet you were sore after a day or so.

Msrubi, This is a great support group. I have been here over 6 years or maybe more. THey are my life line. You can loes that 35 lbs and be healthy too. Looking forward to getting to know you.

Determined, Happy belated anniversary. Congrats on 9 years. A planned cheat is ok if you jump right back on. My problem is getting back on, I think I have to wait until Monday.

Sparkle, it seems everyone has had a bad day last week. Today is a new day and we can forge ahead together on plan.

Monet, nothing better than a loss and a good bg level to make you day wonderful. Keep up the good work. You are doing great selling your wares. One day you will be famous.

Chris, 4 lbs is awesome. That is so funny about your anxiety pill making you eat.

I'm off to check the last thread to see what I have missed. Hope to check back later. Have a great OP day.

Hi guys,

Seems everyone is doing GREAT. And Monet you are making tons of $$$ selling your gorgeous stuff.....

Welcom Msrubi - hope you bust out of sugar!!!
Chris - at LEAST you didn't drag the grilled chicken into bed under the covers with you ..... that is really heavy meds eh???!!!!!!

Hey Solly Solly - howz your redhead holding out? I might go back people think we're saucy/sexy!!!!


Went running Saturday and Sunday - good runs too and worked out really really hard Friday and Saturday night.

************this was the first weekend in eons that I did not binge and only overate on almonds and walnuts..............

Well back to work I hope you have a great day and stay OP

Just quick hello.

I did it I made it through the weekend with nothing bad and no over eating. Im very excited. I only had 1 small pc of sf choc last night. That was it--last week i have eating the entire bag or bar. I have a good feeling about this week.

I bought a new scale last night. This one does .1.4.6..And so on. My last one only did .5 It also helps you track your weight loss (as soon as I figure that out i'll be using it)

Congrats to the losers today!!

Solly-Sadly I eat more at work. nanning and Yankee are jobs where I tend to be bored and have down time. It used to be a struggle..its getting better.

Chris-That is funny. Id be pretty ticked off too. If Im going to eat something Id want to at least know about it.

mercee-Yay cleaning. I didn't have much time I have to catch up myself. Way to go with all the working out..The sore feeling is awesome. A hurt feeling isn't good. Just make sure to not over do it. (this would be the pot calling the kettle black) haha

Monet-Congrats on the weight loss..Im happy your etsay stuff is selling. I love to rearrange. I was at walmart last night too. It was dead. Im not a foodball fan but I did hope the pats would will as thet is my team. HA Oh well.

Ray-Yay getting through the weekend..That rocks it is such a great feeling Monday morning.

I have to work late today so I already have lunch and dinner planned out. This way i can't help but be good. Planning seems to be my key to success. I did about 80 min at the gym.. I was tired and sore from my weekend so I let myself leave during the second class.

Happy Monday all!!!

Good Morning Everybody!

Oh the pain of Monday <sigh>. I have to sit on my butt all day today writing annual job performance evaluations for the 3 people I supervise, I loath doing this every year!!!!!

...and I am in major pain today folks. Walked all over the rodeo grounds on Saturday stayed there about 5 hours and by last night (the after effect), my legs were dying. OK I also had to stand through 3 long church services yesterday and that didnt help things either. I have shooting pains in my inner thighs and calves and also my hammer toe is angry at me. Oh to be twentysomething again, when nothing bothered me on my body....lol.

treadmill was ordered...cant wait for it to come...but unfortunately I know that means there will be even more pain in my future...hahaha
