Afternoon Girls ...

Mel - about 8 years ago I bought a Tanita brand digital scale at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and it is still going strong. So I would highly recommend that brand...I am glad that you are going to get to see your family again...it is hard when everyone is so far apart.

Liz - have fun camping, it is so hot and humid around here we are all staying inside, so cant imagine it being cool enough to camp...would be nice though.

We bought a bird feeder when we were out for lunch so dh is outside putting that up right now and I am just listening to my Itunes and on the computer...a nice lazy Sunday !

Talk to you guys tomorrow, have a good one.

I am def going to look into that because I went to walmart and all the scales are the same brand but different prices. I am going to try to look it up on thier website before I make the drive out there,thanks for the tip! I totally agree with it being WAY to hot to do anything outside here. I push mowed the lawn today at 11:30am and felt like I was going to die!

Carri the only one I saw was $99.99 was that how much yours was? Did it do the same bounce numbers every few times you get on? Looks like it could kick my $18.00 walmart scales butt lol

Morning Girls ...well I finally treated myself after 30 pds down, I was about to crack over that pizza hut pizza so we did get one last night ...we got a large sausage and mushroom and I had about 4 and a 1/2 pces ...it was so good...and I think it was good that I did that, otherwise I would have kept obsessing about it, now it is out of my system and I start working on the next 30.

Mel - No I think ours was about 50-60...and I had a coupon from there, one of thier 20% off coupons and paid even less...never had any issue with it and I get the same numbers three times in a row all of the time...I think they are very accurate, I always see good reviews on them.

Hi Liz - hope you are enjoying your camping.

I am so tired today...I loved the pizza but it did cause heartburn all night that I never have, and I was quite full, so hard to sleep....but oh well I go to bed early tonight I guess...have a great day Mel ...

Later,
Carri

Thanks Carri, the next time I get one of the 20% in the mail I think I will go up there and get one. I totally agree with you about the getting the pizza so you wont worry about it anymore, and after 30 pounds you deserve it!
I weighed in again today and was 219.0! This is day 2 there so I feel safe saying I'm in the 2-teens!
My brother will be here tmw so I am running around cleaning my house again because he has never seen it (and baby proofing for my 1 1/2 yr old nephew).
Hope your having fun camping Liz!
Have a great day Carri!!!

Thanks Mel ! That is the way I felt too ...why not have a cheat? I still have 4 weeks to lose addtl weight for vacation ...and yes, I think you are safely in the teens after seeing that for several days ...dont ya love moving into that next set of 10? Keep up the great work !! Have fun cleaning today...I have alot of laundry at home that needs to be done but stuck here at work, haha ....talk to you later.

I am SO excited to be in the next 10....my first goal is to hit 190 pounds because that's how much I weighed when I met DH almost 7 years ago. Then hopefully make it to 168 (I think I was like 12 or something last time I weighed that) so I can be at the told of the "healthy" scale. I have never stuck with anything this long and its all bc of the support from you all!

Morning...well I jumped on the scale prematurely and saw a 2 pd gain, I suppose from all the sodium in the pizza I ate, who knows...I know it isnt a true gain so I will continue my workouts and being good all week and weigh in again on Friday morning. Still is discouraging though ...

Yeah my first big goal is to be at 188 since that is the lowest I have been in like 6 years...my main goal is 130-135 ...so hopefully I can reach that by next Summer ...we shall see !!

Have a great day !!
Carri

I'm sure the 2 lb gain is from the pizza,your body isnt used to you eating that. It will be gone by friday. I def want to at least for a first goal get back to where I was when I met Dh, but having 2 kids is def what made me gain some of the weight. What gets me is I didnt think I looked so bad at 190 bc I am so tall yet I was still in the high overweight category

Weighed in today and it was from 218.4-218.8. Cant wait to get a coupon for bed bath and beyond so I can get a new scale. Now that I want one it will probably take forever to get here haha

Have a great day Carri~

Morning Melanie ( and Liz if you are back )

I didnt have a great day yesterday food wise...ended up going over my calories by about 500-700 with nachos and some ice cream ...feeling bloated and thirsty today ...but moving on !!

I dont think I will have a good weigh in on Friday due to Sunday's pizza and last nights eating...but we will see ...

I got my Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupon last night in the mail so you might have yours soon too ...and yeah 190 on a tall person is not bad I am sure...I am about 5 ft 3 ...so I dont have that luxury, haha

Have a good day, talk to you soon.
Carri

Good luck with the weigh in friday....guess what we had for dinner? Pizza! Ahh! I got thin crust mushroom so maybe it will help? It is literally the only think I ate today bc I was so busy running around with my family.

I got my coupon in the mail too! I am going to try to go there tmw if the kids will cooperate LOL

Oh my, are we all on a pizza splurge?? DH & I got pizza last night, after we got back from camping we were just so tired from unpacking and everything. I ate 4 slices which was still within my calories (didn't eat much that day) but oh my the sodium! Oh well. Back on track, ladies!!

We had a great time camping, swam in the lake, did tons of walking and playing, lots of fun. We just love camping, we're thinking of going again in September...but I think it will be too cold then to go with the kids, but we'll see.

Anyhow I weighed in at 218 this morning, so things are going good! I'm trying not to be too impatient to get to onederland, but I just can't wait....lol. I tried on my pair of 16's and they're close to fitting, another 5 pounds maybe. Anyhow off to bed, talk to you ladies tomorrow!

Morning All ...still showing a pound up this morning at 206 from my couple of cheats ...so I think that will be gone by this weekend and hopefully take some more with it ....

Liz - glad to hear you had a good time ...I wouldnt worry about getting to Onederland to quickly, you are close only 19 pds...that is not that much really ...you will be there before you know....good job on going camping and still coming back at 218 .. Ah September, cant wait ...it will be getting colder here too, LOVE the Fall ...however that is also the month of my 37th birthday ...that we can skip over, haha

Mel - HOpe you get to get your scale today, if you get one of the Tanita brands I know you are going to love it. Thin crust pizza is always gonna be better for you , and mushroom and cheese was a good choice...it's all about making better choices...

I am SO ready for the weekend...I just wanna relax and not have to use my brain to think about work related things....been a long week.

Talk to you later.
Carri

Liz-Glad you had a great time camping and yay for 218!

Carri-I LOVE LOVE LOVE fall! I cant wait for it to get here either. I am going to bed bath and beyond in a couple hours so I will let you know how it goes!

Weigh in at 218.2-218.8 but as long as its not 219 I'm happy with it! I will def be happy when I have a scale that works right!
Hope everyone has a great day!

I love fall too!! I am planning on starting the C25K in the fall...in the meantime I'm going to work on getting some more walking in.

Carri - The weekend will be here before you know it! The weekend is not my favourite time because my DH works all weekend every weekend, so it's just me and kids, AAHH!!

Mel - YAY for a new scale, I have a WW scale and it bounces around a lot, but as long as I keep it on the same tile on the bathroom floor and step on it the same way I figure it's pretty accurate, hopefully!
