Got in a 2 mile walk, but know I need to ramp it up a bit....soon.
Good Friday all.....

You all are doing great..........wish I was. :cry:

At least with me not feeling well, I don't eat that much.......

Have a Great One and Keep up the good work.

Hello ladies,

Tina - OMG! What a difference - you're doing great.

Cristina - I won't be able to be on the computer much this weekend, if at all, so I wanted to say:


To all of the Jaded Ladies, I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day either as a mama, or as a daughter celebrating with your mama, or both. :hug:

Jane...thanks!! That first picture is a mess but it was a great motivation to take action. ;P
Sassy...hey hon..what can I do for you? What's going on? Are you on a program right now? Let me know if there is anything that I can do or say to help you feel better or to get motivated. :) Just do things for YOU and don't worry about what other people say or do around you. You need to think about numero uno. I know this because I was putting myself last for so long and it got me nooooowhere. And now I feel better about myself and this all in only 3 months pretty much. So we can move mountains when we get motivated. You just have to say I'm going to do this for me right now...not tomarrow not in the next week...NOW..right this second. And just start making those small changes or big ones...just hafta do it. OK? Let me know if you need anything!
Oops..Christina...HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING! :)


Tina

Hey Tina & Cristina, thanks a lot. I shouldn't have read this at work, it got me all teary eyed. lol.

I think its just mainly a lot going on right now with my in-laws health, esp. my fil, and now my health, I got the results back from the ultrasound, well partially. DH called and spoke with the nurse, she didn't go into detail. I will find out more at my appt. But so far I know I have Cysts, which I know is a common thing for my disease: PCOS. But I think once I get "ME" back in "working" order once again, I think that will help a bunch. ;) My appetite has decreased tremendously though. DH even asked me this morning when going home, are you sure your okay and not hungry, you didn't eat a lot at dinner. But I just was not hungry! :woohoo: It actually felt good to say that! Okay I guess I should have eaten something, a piece of fruit, yogurt, something, but I just was not hungry. I instead drank 16 oz of water, I was just so thirsty! I have noticed that lately that is about all I've been wanting lately: water. :)

I did get me some oatmeal to eat so at least that is something healthy to have in the AM when I get home from work. (if I am hungry that is) I just think once things "calm down" a bit that I will be able to do more. Also my mom is coming up to stay with us for a few days and she said she would help me and maybe we can take walks together. (we used to do that ALL the time when I lived back "home")

I think mostly I need someone to encourage me and not put me down, as the putting down part does not work for me, it just makes me want to give up and eat.

Well I guess that is all, thanks again, you gals are great!

Tina: I will PM you my email addy if you want to email me personally, etc! Let me know if you also would like to exchange home addresses, if you would like to exchange cards, etc. (I love sending and receiving cards!)

Cristina -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY! So sorry I forgot and didn't get to send you a card! :doh: I can't seem to remember anything anymore!!!!! I hope you had a great day!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to you ALL -- SO I don't forget! lol.

:hug:

:balloons:

Cristina... :bday2you:


Jaded Ladies.... have a :sunny: week-end and a
HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY.

:balloons:

Not feeling tip top here ... I started walking and got less than a mile when I felt sooo sick.
Didn't do much today..weeding, cleaning the birdbath and filling the feeders.
Cleaned some inside too. Nothing going on tomorrow either, but will do some cooking for a Sunday family get together. (hope to goodness I feel better)

Happy Birthday Cristina!! :celebrate:

Tina--Wow!! You look great!! What an inspiration to us all!! Keep up the good work :bravo:

Sassy--Sweetie, keep your chin up. It will get better. I know how you feel when someone puts you down. Criticism can put a real damper on one's mood but praise will do wonders.

Sue--Hope you are not getting sick for mother's day weekend :(

I'm at work right now doing my dreaded night shift but wanted to wish everyone a Wonderful Mother's Day!!

:balloons:

Hello Everyone!

Things have been so busy around here. I've been busy at work and busy with my children's school activities. I try to chaperone on each field trip my kids have, so I've been to many in the past month....end of year trips. Yesterday the 5th and 6th graders visited Islands of Adventure in Orlando.

Losing wt is still the main goal of myself and my 2 daughters. They are looking so GOOD! Both of them have been getting so many compliments from family and friends. It really helps boost their confidence and desire to keep going--especially for my 6th grader--she has always been chubby, and now her friends and teachers are telling her how small she is becoming! But the best and most important thing is, how much healthier our lifestyle is becoming!
We're still going to Curves - for them it's 3 nights a week, and for me 4 or 5 days.

Well, I'm going to take some time to catch up on my reading here, and I want to wish everyone a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Morning Ladies!! :wave:

Been totally enjoying our Spring weather and tending to our yard, making it pretty. Not a lot of time to spend on the computer.

Today Jhanai & I will be hanging out at my sister's place....gonna get myself a haircut. Desperately needing one.

Cristina--Happy Birthday!!!!! :celebrate: :bday2you:

Tina--GREAT photos! You look fantastic. Very inspiring. I hope you've posted them in the goal photo gallery area!

I need to get off the computer for awhile....I'll be back later tonight to do individuals for the rest of ya!

Hugs!

Just popping in to say hi :wave: We are leaving for Disney World tonight :yay: millions of things left to do...

Working half time has been challenging, arm gets very sore by mid-morning. I have another follow up appt with my surgeon when I get back from vacation.

I am so seldom here now, that there are so many new names and faces -- :welcome2: Welcome to all the newer Jaded Ladies!

Cristina, :bday2: :celebrate: :woo: hope you have a great birthday!

Sassy, hang in there, hon. If you've been feeling really down and have no appetite, you are doing the right thing to try to pick healthy things when you DO feel like eating :cp: Oatmeal is really good for you, and lots of water, of course -- good choices :yes: I had a friend w/PCOS, and I know it was rough on her. Take care of yourself, hope you start feeling better soon. :hug:

Sue, sorry to read you've been sick, too :( Doesn't sound like you "didn't do much" -- weeding and cleaning the birdbath, cleaning inside...try to get some rest, and hope you feel better soon, too :getwell:

Tina -- these are the first posts I've seen from you (shows you how long it's been since I've logged on here! :rofl:) But it looks like you are doing great, from those before and after shots -- you look slimmer, of course, but also happier, healthier, and YOUNGER! :bravo: Great inspiration and encouragement for all of us!

I have a friend at work I haven't seen for months (since I've been off with this injury). She's always been a short kinda chunky gal, and when I came back, holy toledo! She doesn't even look like the same person! Very trim, fit, wearing really flattering clothes...I asked what she was doing, and she said all she did was start working out at the gym at work regularly -- trying to watch what she eats somewhat, but the exercise is what really paid off :lifter: :ebike: :woops: :exercise:

My goal at Disney World is to not gain any weight. I know we will have treats and indulgent food, but we will be walking a LOT and drinking a LOT of water. And I will try to make wise choices on the menus, but I'm not going to worry about it too much for this week. :D

By the time I get back, you'll be pages and pages ahead, I'm sure, so I'll try to catch up then...hello to all the other JL's out there :D

Hi Ladies. :wave:

I want to say from the bottom of my heart, Thank You All for your kind words and support. :grouphug: I know its not easy reading about how "miserable" I am day in and day out. I am going to really make an effort to stay positive, because that will help me, as well. ;)

Today I was very very stupid. But I learned something: listen to my body, it is honestly rejecting bad things and won't let me over eat anymore. Which is a good thing! :carrot: I want to seriously go shopping for some healthy snacks to have here at work, instead of hitting the *horror music* vending machine.

So here is too a new and more positive approach to life. *clink*

Again, thanks a lot, you ladies rock!

:hug:
