aimee - mmm bbq!! I love me some good bbq. Just have fun and enjoy your vacation. (that's what I'd do). You can worry about all that dieting stuff when you get back!!

shari - congrats on ur loss!! gum works wonders for mindless snacking.

im up 2.2 this week. I have been doing horrible with the eating. I've been stressed out and to top it off my bf was laid off on friday. just what i need. I think we're going to move back in with his parents. I can't afford all our bills plus rent. Plus, we were getting a huge rent discount with my bf's job but now that's gone. <sigh> so I've got some tough months to look forward to.

on the good side, we won't have money to be eating out anymore so maybe that'll help with the whole weight loss thing lol

take care :wave:

Hey girlies!!!!

Ive been hiding!! Like seriously, I havent done ANYTHING diet-related for months!! I didnt even come to this bored because I felt sooooooooo guilty!!!! I havent been on a scale for probably 5-6 months...and dont wanna!!

Sounds like all of you are on the ball with your weightloss!!

We'll im gonna poke around here some more. I need to get back on track, but its soooooooooo hard when you stopped for a looooooooong period of time!!

I only have myself to blame, there is no one else. Im the lazy one!! I wanted to weigh sooooooooo much less by my vacation...and I JUST GOT BACK!! So that plan didnt work!!

OK talk soon!

shari - tom sucks!! but now that it's over, it's time to get back in the game!! :lifter:

randee- good to hear from you. we all have our time away. the thing is just get back into it!!

i have not been eating right. but I havent gone grocery shopping either. I just found a pic of me when I weighed almost 40 pounds less. Wow!! Im using that pic as motivation. I had lost 30 pounds when I took that pic so I know I can do it.

No more fooling around girls!! Let's do this!!!

:wave:

Hey Girls! I did some crazy huge hike today (I will post them soon on facebook), it was quite... interesting. Hard!! But it was good, to see how far the body can be challenged! I survived!! It was inspiring!

Rosario - I am with you, thinking that I can really do it! I am going to follow a fitness program when I get back - 12 week program. I have been feeling pretty crappy about my weight since being in my hometown, where everyone is so darn thin!! Grr on them! lol..

Randee - wb!! summer is either hard or easy to lose weight.. never seems to be anything in between!

-Aimee

Randee - welcome back!

Aimee - congrats on the huge hike!

Ro - you can do it! just keep working at it :)

So tomorrow night I am leaving for a friends for a few days... hope I can stay on track! It is her wedding reception (she already got married) so I think worst of all might be the drinking... but I will see what I can do!

Last night my boyfriend booked up plan tickets and hotel for 4 nights in vegas in August! So excited! It is my birthday present but we will also be there for our '4 year anniversary' if you wanna call it that... We will actually be gone for 6 nights in total, spend one night at a friends in vancouver and he will take us to air port in vancouver and then the day we come back we have the 3 doors down concert in vancouver so we will take in a hotel there.... will be a nice trip since we have never really done anything like it!

I have been running lots and eating good but the scale sucks.

Courtnie - sounds like a fun weekend!! Just make sure when you are drinking that you make good food choices! Alcohol doesn't have to be THAT bad, sometimes its the food we eat when drunk thats the worst.... and I speak from experience!! heh.. I am so envious of your running! I won't be doing too much outdoor exercise near my house thanks to my bear thing.. stupid wilderness!!

Shari - congrats!! TOM is a bugger!

I am worried about my scale now.. so I've been cutting back like crazy, and starting to implement some of the changes thats I'm supposed to be doing for that 12 week plan. Hopefully it makes for no gains when I get back! I am also still soo sore from the hike!! I suspect it was the way down that hurt me the most, I am NOT sure footed at all, so I went really slow, which works more muscles. But I am going to start working on getting some of my stabilizer muscles stronger for the future. I better get going... have a good one gals!

-Aimee

Well I just got home tonight! Its so hard coming home from vacation!! I just wanna stay on vacation forever.. and also I'm not thrilled about our house.. it's so small, and has no outdoor space.. we need to move.. I better get going, gotta upload all my pictures!

-Aimee

Hey Everyone! I am back! Had a good time with my friend though sure the scale is up! all well!

Happy to hear you had a good time to Aimee!

Shari - what kinda pictures? We have about 600 pictures, heh.. most are scenery, Josh took a ton of really bad pictures of me.. bad boy! Glad you got to sleep, it sounds wonderful!

Courtnie - good to hear you had a good time as well :)

Today I am going to get prepped for my 12 week workout program, gotta make up the workout schedule.. and I also made up this thing for my fridge to remind me of all the rules for eating. Fortunately they are easy!

-Aimee

Shari - Happy birthday girl!! :) How did you spend the big day?

-Aimee

Shari - aww.. why would you expect to be depressed? I love birthdays, I suppose its because I always get spoiled for mine. Although this year Josh can't have ANY of time off around my birthday, he'd planned to take me on a weekend getaway... and we had to cancel it because his boss at work is a complete jerk.

So where did everyone go? It's been over a week since anyone posted!!
