Wendy - hope that headache lifts soon! I am melting btw... I cannot believe how HOT it is!!! My chest probably won't let me get much smaller in sizes, however hopefully as I shrink my boobs do too!

Courtnie - Sliced tomatoes on melba toast with cream cheese... yummy! I cut up the last of my tomatoes for lunch today. How's it going over there?

I am working late tonight, it's very hot here today, so I am actually okay with this. It's too hot to move. I packed a yummy healthy lunch, so I am back on plan! Woohoo!

-Aimee

I made it thru the day! I ate tons of veggies and fruit, and stayed under my calories by 168! Woohoo! Couple more weeks/months/year, and I'll be at my goal weight! :lol:

-Aimee

Shari - woohoo! Congrats!! Tomorrow is my WI at the end of my 9 week program thingy. I am also doing measurements - so hopefully those BOTH go well :) I am going to be getting a second job, not too excited for that. However since we moved I am going into more and more debt, and I got my tax return - 500 bucks!! I need clothes, shoes, hair cut, stuff for the house, buuuuut, can't do it. Gotta put it all on my credit card, might keep a little to get a haircut, because I look ratty. Have you had to work 2 jobs before? Does it suck? I am worried!

Alrighty - enough from me!

-Aimee

Dun dun dunn.... here are the results of my 9 week program!

I lost 13 pounds, chest down 1 pound, smallest part of my waist down 1.5, my roll down 2.5, belly button down 1.5, hips down 2.5 and 1 inch off each thigh! It's not the pounds I wanted to lose, buuut it was really close. And considering TOM started this morning? It turned out okay I think!

-Aimee

Shari - Thanks! I am sooo not looking forward to working two jobs.. but it's just gotta happen. I will enjoying having someone to enjoy the misery with me :)

-Aimee

WTG AIMEE!!!!


I'm still sitting at 142, not eating very well, stressing to much.
I'm heading back to Michigan in October for a couple weeks, Steve is going for surgery again and wants us there with him so we'll go. I hope to be driving him back with us to stay a couple months while he heals. I'm excited! I miss him.

Shari - a sit down job eh... any advice on that? I've never had a sit down job in my life, honestly don't even know where I'd start with that!

Wendy - When does he come here for good? I can't imagine doing a long distance relationship.... toooo hard for me!

-Aimee

No clue actually. I'm going to bring him back for a couple months, hope we can get our application in for sponsorship while he's here. Then I suppose we'll see each other again before Mexico. It takes 5-9 months for the application so we won't be together till next year some time :( It's pretty hard, only because all you think about is being with the other person.

Weight still 142 :(

I am posting less which means 1 thing... I am not counting calories still. Tomorrow I will be eating better, and Monday I go back to counting calories again! Another 9 week book, and this time I will be exercising! The first 4 weeks I'm gonna walk lots, and then after that this girl I know (who is gone for 4 weeks) is gonna take me to hot yoga with her, I really want to do yoga, and while the heat might be overwhelming, it'll be interesting! She also wants me to get a gym membership with her... BUT!!! I have a job interview next week! So I'll have less time on my hands, but more money :)

Wendy - how are you holding up over there?

-Aimee

I'm alright Aimee, counting the days till I go back to Michigan! I have lots of house work to do actually, I have to clear out the mud room for the dog to stay in when he comes and I really have to tend to the spare room.

Ryan is sick so we decided we better stay home from the lake this weekend, to bad, we could have been out there tearing down for the season. Oh well, maybe next weekend.

I'm down 2 lbs.

Wendy - it's so cold today!!! How many days to go?

Shari - I can't imagine doing the whole call centre thing. The interview is at a clothing store, and they go up to a size 18 - and I'm somewhere between an 16 and 18 right now..

I am now on day 2 of calorie counting, things are going pretty good! It's not super easy right now.. butttt! I am going to stick with it! I wanna be skinny! :lol:

-Aimee

9 more days!!

The waiting is killin' me! Can't wait to be with hubby again!

Still sitting at 140 lbs:p

Aimee ~ How did the interview go?

Ya, Aimee, how did it go??

Hi Shari!!

Ugh, just ate a happy meal :(

Shari - I have to admit I was too tired to get up on Monday morning to go in, hopefully tomorrow! I am not entirely motivated, because working 2 jobs doesn't sound like fun. I gotta do it though, cuz I want more money!

Wendy - 8 days! I am sooo hungry, thanks for talking about food ;) My aunt made some Borscht, so I am going to have some of that. I hate working so late, because then I have to eat, just tooo hungry to sleep.

On a happy note, today is day 4 of counting calories, I've been cutting back on bread and pasta, anddd!! I got on the scale this morning, down 1 pound! I needed that motivated if I'm planning to continue on with cutting back on breads/pasta. Anyways, thats all from me tonight...

-Aimee

I am down another pound this morning, feels good! The scale is my primary motivation for cutting back on the carbs, so I am going to continue to get on the scale daily until I am done with this. I have given myself at least a week of this, and if I am feeling better than I hope to continue on.

Didn't sleep much last night, so I didn't get up to drive Josh to work so I could keep the car for applying for jobs. I finally fell asleep on the couch at 5am, and Josh woke up for work at 6:45am, and then he got me a blanket, shut the curtains.. he's so cute!

-Aimee

I have a missed a lot. Sorry guys :(

I have actually been around 3fc a lot too, I came by here a few times and no one really posting so I stopped checking.

Aimee - WTG.. I went back a couple weeks and it sounds like you are going AMAZING!!! Keep it up! I worked two jobs once for a little while, it was okay.

I am doing pretty good, I worked my BUT off last month and lots 4.6 pounds. For how hard I worked, it's not much - BUT - it's more then I normally lose! So I am pretty happy with that.

Got on the scale this morning right after I woke up, bad idea... I stayed the same, poop! I know I shouldn't be expecting a pound a day, but yeah. Tomorrow is a new day!

Shari - still haven't gone to see her. Tomorrow I think, just got my work schedule, and I'm working 26 hours, which means I will be getting paid less that 700 bucks... depressing. I NEED to see a chiropractor to get my back feeling better, but I can't go because I gotta pay 40 bucks upfront, and just don't have that cash flow. Sad.

Courtnie - I am doing alright, my weight loss is soooo slow. Congrats on your loss! 5 pounds is pretty darn good I'd say! Are you still doing the low gi diet thing with Karden?

Tomorrow at work the big head honcho of my company is coming into the store, so that should be interesting. I might all dressed up and go in early and apply for that job.. thats the plan so far. Hopefully I can actually SLEEP tonight, so that'll be the final say on that.. cross your sleepy fingers for me! And also, I plan to be down 1 pound tomorrow.. so cross your skinny fingers for me too!

-Aimee

Yay! Down 1 pound this morning to 254, haven't been this low in a while actually. I didn't sleep too well though, couldn't sleep until 2:30am, and then was up at 7am to drive Josh to work. But I am still down 1 pound! :)

-Aimee

Shari - whats the new job?? And when did this happen?? I can't remember hearing about your interview.. however, I am super tired right now and can't remember everything...

-Aimee

HELP!! I can't stop eating! I eat because I'm bored, lonely, sad, anxious, lazy, etc! HELP!!! Talk me out of this!

I just ate a pkg of noodles, rocket candies and smarties! This sucks!! :(

Food can solve the problem.. You need to stay focused on getting ready to see your man, plan for the trip, get excited for that! You are on a big count down, and trust me, you are going to need to have an unbloated belly if you plan have some "quality time".. if you catch my drift ;)

-Aimee

LOL! Thanks Aimee!

OMG!!! I am so tired I wrote "food can solve the problem" Clearly I meant CAN NOT!!!! Glad I made you laugh anyways.. actually everything I wrote in the last post is all spelled wrong.. geeez... or incorrect grammar..

-Aimee

I knew what you meant!

Serves me right, I ended up with serious heartburn that kept me up all night. Lesson learned.

Speaking of eating mindlessly... I had cheesecake from Baked Expectations, it was so both and soooo terrible. My tummy is upset :(

Glad you knew what I meant.. cuz I barely did.. :lol:

-Aimee

Haven't been to Baked Expectations in years! I still have an upset stomach so I ate very little today. I'm craving a bacon and tomato sandwich though...is that bad? Going to down my water and hope for some rest tonight. Steves surgery is tomorrow and I am FREAKING OUT with anticipation and worry for my love.
G'night all!!

Wendy - don't go to baked expectations! Soooo rich! ugh... my tummy is sore thinking about it. How'd the surgery go?

So I pretty much feel fat, gross, ugly, nasty, icky, and ugly ugly ugly and fat. I am SO frustrated with myself and not eating properly, I gained 1.8 pounds, nearly at 256... I feel like crying, and running away. I know this weekend is going to be realllly hard to stay on plan since I am going out of town and won't have control over what I'm eating.. plus Monday is thanksgiving, plus my great uncle's bday... and I am fat. I let myself get fat, I am letting myself stay fat. I feel BLAH! Also - I ate almonds, and an orange for my snack tonight at work, and then I barfed it all up!! Like, why!! I ate some chicken nuggets (6=310 calories) and those were fine in my body.. I don't get it...

-Aimee

Aimee~they did move work on him than expected. He's in right now getting the patch off his eye, keep your fingers and toes crossed that he'll be able to see something!

We all did this to ourselves! Why we have a problem with food I'll never know.All we can do is the best we can depending on our moods, hormones, and self control.. I can eat everything I want for weeks and not gain weight and then all of a sudden 5lbs are on the scale, it just sucks but we can't give up!

Ok ladies, I'm gone till the end of the month!! Take care all!

I'm not feeling too good about things this week, I feel like I'm not working hard enough, like I should be doing more.. and so on... and I posted a question about exercising once a week better than nothing... cuz this week was a hard one... and I feel attacked. Obviously thats all me. Ugh. I feel CRUMMY!!!

-Aimee
