TOM is raring its ugly head and the good thing about it is i am still weighing in at 195 so i prob have lost! i plan to keep working out like a crazy person since i have nothing else to do with my time. now if only i could get rid of these weird cravings i have during TOM red meat, pb&j, pickles ugh. so i am going to work out and try not to eat my mother out of house and home lol.
in other news i had a phone interview with a company for the perfect job and i have my next in person interview next thursday. i am trying to work on my interview answers before i go. so be praying/wish me luck because i need a job and i think this is the one for me.

Bjeweled-I will be praying for you. Good luck on your interview

As for me having car problems (UGGH) But everything will be alright.
Still weighing in at 172 even. But I will stay motivated.
Have a wonderful day WOC!!!

Unstoppable - Awww I hope you get your car straight.

Brie - TOM ugh! If you are still weighing the same then I agree you probably lost too. Yeah I know they should be ashamed but everyone don't know the "code" I guess. Whatever I'm very original...so it will be all good. Oh I thought I go see the site yesterday but it is really today.

Weighed in last night at the gym and was happy to see the scale go down. Hallelujah! Remember I told ya'll my BF and I were going to the gym together. ......this guy on the TM beside when and got a piece of paper and left a note on my TM for me to call him.....and my BF was on the TM opposite side of me.....It was hysterical but I felt sorry for him when my BF stopped and said I was his lady and I showed him my ring. SOmetimes I think they can smell my ring and they come from all corners of the earth. Hope ya'll have a good day ladies!!!!!

I can't believe the comments people have been giving me lately. lol. my fam/friends are telling me i should stop losing weight! i feel as women of color that is a major issue ---- i've always listened to them before - like oh okay maybe i'm okay the way i am now but i'm going to keep pushing because i want to be healthy and fit most of all. anybody deal with this?

by the way bejeweled good luck on your interview! i have one today too! = )

by the way how do i get a tickeR?

Caliyah - It Is Twenty Days And Twenty Posts. After Those Two Requirements You Can Get One Too. Also Yes I Get That All The Time You Are Going To Be Skinny And You Look Fine The Way You Are....yada Yada Yads. I Like Being Fit And In The Best Physical Shape I Can Possibly In And There Is Nothing Wrong With That. Brie Told Me Once That People Are Gonna Say What They Want And They Are Going To Keep Talking Just Brush It Off And Keep Going. It Is About What Make You Feel Good, Happy And Healthy.

Brie - Gl On The Interview.

Hey ladies, I haven't been here in a while-crazy mess happenin. Oh well, weighed in on Sunday, down 6lbs-that makes 41 since March 15th. My goal is to hit 208 by Sept. 15th. It might sound crazy, but definitely something to work toward.

devsmama - you can do it girl with hard work and perserverance its possible! we'll be here to support you!

caliyah - cake took the words out of my mouth! do you boo!

unstoppable - hopefully your car will be fixed soon! ive been stuck in the house due to car trouble for two days ugh.

thanks for all the well wishes ladies! i have an article for yall to read and i want your opinion.

http://www.12millionlives.com/commun...r_of_the_month

then i will give mine lol

Hello ladies how are things going?

bjeweled-good luck with the interview

Unstoppable-I hope things work out with your car I know how that can be....

Cake- OMG that must of been crazy, but flattering at the same time...lol

ciliyah-I experience that all the freaking time lol people telling me I dont need to lose weight blah blah blah but at the end of the day its about how you feel about yourself.


WIshing you all a great month and some lbs lost. I havent been to the gym for a whole week. Between my son and all the crap I have going on. Tonight im going to the gym I actually miss it. I havent been making much progress lately but this month starts a new month and its time that I really got serious.

Hey Ladies,

Came back from my vacation late Sunday night, weighed myself on Monday morning, and found out I put on a whopping 7lbs. 7lbs of weight GAIN in 4 days! I know I ate a lot of crap, but sheesh!

I'm hoping that about 4 of those are because of salt/ water retention (and TOM), and that I only in fact put on 3lbs. Fast food/ restaurant food has a lot of sodium in it so hopefully... What do you ladies think?

On another note I'm going back to my hometown next week Tuesday for about 3 weeks, so I'd love to lose that 7lbs in 7 days so that I can be back to my original weight. I'm actually going to be starting a diet with my mom- I lose my last 15 while she loses her first 15. I think its really cute and just great that we are motivating each other as a family to live healthier lives.

Anyway, thats it. I'm back to 153lbs, but I refuse to change my ticker until next week when my vacation is "out my system" and the dust settles. LOL. After that there is no denying... it is what it is.

~shauna~

Hey ladies-Car is fixed
Cake Batter- Too effin funny. Flattering though I bet. Good luck with your reception site. BTW are you changing your ticker (Im just nosey lol)

Bjeweled- I agree with CB. Anytime I remain the same during TOM, I count it as a loss

Sweetsshauna- no worries. That 7 pounds will be off in no time.

Okay girls. I saw the site last night and it beautiful. We are looking at one more place but I am pretty sure we are sticking with the one yesterday. We would be having the ceremony on the water ......*hands clapping* yay! Oh and yeah the scale is still going down....yay! AGAIN!

Okay I have a concern. I have been wearing a wig the last week or so and it is great....right up until I have to go to the gym. I HATE pulling my effin hair off to workout. Any thoughts. I mean yeah I know just don't wear one but I will be wearing it until Saturday at least when I have my hair appointment. I just want to know how you all feel about if you have ever experienced this.

Unstoppable - No I don;t change my ticker until official WI at WW on thursday evenings. However I didn't change last week when I gained 2 pounds either. So to sum it up...I won't go down on the ticker unless read at WW and I won't go up unless the gain stays with me more than that one week. ANd you are not being nosey.

Shauna - I am sure some of that is indeed water retention. You would have had to have eaten 24,500 calories and not burned a single one of them. Doubt that you did that sweetie. That is exciting about you and your mom. Plus this means you can focus on your diet even though you are chilling w/ family and friends.

Matilda - I am totally feeling your "new month thought". I am so gonna live it with you. I am soooo refocused! We gonna do this! Oh and yea that situation was funny...

Brie - about the article. I totally agree with not saying "oh its baby weight and then just stay fat". That is BS. Now I don't have any kids but after he or she arrives I will beack in the gym trying to get rid of it. My husband married me attractive and I plan to stay that way. Plus I am way too appearance oreintated (with myself) to not put in an effort. On the other hand I don't know if it would only take 3 months to lose 9 months of weight but I guess it could happen. I would definitely put in effort and try and get it off but I wouldn't be on a timeline per se. If it took me a while so be it since it is my life and not a temporary change. I would attack it with the same attitude I carry now on my WL journey.

Devsmama- Heeeeeey. You are in the challenge right??

Cake: Nope, not in the challenge. Maybe I need to be..lol..

bjeweled: The article was interesting, but some folks need more than that time to get it off. Anything is possible with effort and faith.

shauna: sounds like water weight to me. When I have water weight I drink distilled water and lemon and juice and it is gone that day.

matilda: new month, new attitude-luvsit. I'm sorta feeling that way too. I have a goal I'm trying to get to by September.


I took a Muscle X class last night thats sort of like step aerobics with barbells and dumbbells. That class was insane! My eyelashes are sore..lol..It was good though and can't wait to take it again.

Oh shoot Devsmama....I tagged you LOL. Oh well I take it back!

Cake- OMG I have that same problem I wear wigs a lot well I wear weaves a lot. My natural hair is long and healthy but I LOVE fake hair lol and yesterday when I went to the gym I took it off before I went. I dont mind though because I know Im not trying to mess my wigs up at the gym and boy do I sweat.

Devsmama- that class sounds fun though, I love group workout classes I take them all the time at the gym that I attend. My b day goal is to be at 220 or less so Im going to be in there these next few months. I'll be turning the big 30 on 10/30 so Im really trying to be focused.

sweetshauna - I know the feeling but I bet you'll get back on track. I was down to 220 in Feb and gain 20lbs plus back all because I stopped working out stopped coming on 3fatchicks. More than I knew this site aided me so much in shedding lbs before because its nothing like chatting with people that are experiencing the same thing and you guys motivate me to get back into the game I love this site.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!
