Hello ladies I am on day three of my fat smash diet and so far I havent had any cravings. Im very happy about that. I went to the gym lastnite for the first time in almost two weeks and I feel better today.

Beaka- good job on the jogging

Cake -thank you and I may still need those words. but right now I think I have it. Congrats on the 50lbs that is just fab!

I hope everyone has a great day!

Still no truck today. A hose didn't come in.

I went out with a friend today so i haven't done the Shred, but I will be sticking with C25K tomorrow!

Matilda- YAY for another day of Fat Smash success!

Cake: I'm excited about you getting that token tomorrow!

girls!

Sorry I've been MIA. I started a second job on Monday so I've been kinda wiped out. I like it alot but I'm afraid that I might lose it.

Got to get up at 6am so I've gotta go!

SO I have my "Last Chance" workout today.....I know I am a dork! I am thinking of updating my goal album here soon...IDK yet....since I still want to lose another 10 pounds!

I was going to do a whole big "I met my goal" post and I realized I have been working for over a year at this, I don't really have anything to say...weird huh? Like everyone on this site is working to same thing or has already done it....so what do I have to say that is so special. IDK. I probably still will but...ya'll have heard it all before!

On another note: I FINALLY got to see the Colonial Rose Garden (after 3 different cancellation for various reasons). It is beautiful! We are renting the entire Inn (Bed and Breakfast Inn) for the weekend so that I and my sissies and besties can stay the night before the wedding with me there. Plus the wedding planner has the day before for set-up. Ya'll it is going to be so pretty. We are having it outdoors on their lawn (which looks like velvet BTW). So excited!

Beaka - Sorry about your car. I bet you are getting much exercise! So that is the bright side....maybe??? So you seem to be doing well with C25K.

Jasonlea - I am glad you like your new job. Think positive, you may keep it for a very long time!

Matilda - You go girl! It is amazing how we dodge the gym (once its been a couple a days in a row) as hard as we can, but then as soon as we get there and work out we feel like new wonderful people. Why don't we ever remember THAT when we have the "I don't feel like going to the gym thoughts"?

Matilda08 · 10-08-2009, 11:18 AM

I am down three lbs! So thats good news. Ive been working out and fat smashing and I honestly havent been having any cravings. Ive also been counting my calories and for the most part have been in the 1500 calorie range.

Jasonlea- congrats on the new job! GOod luck

Beaka -keep up the good work on that program its a great program and I need to get back into it myself but im in love with the elliptical right now lol

Cake- you should very much so post in the goal section when you make your goal. People are inspired by those stories. I personally use those stories to motivate myself. Feel great about what you have accomplished especially being a sista you know how hard it is for most to even stick with going to the gym. As far as im concerned you DO have a story to tell and its a wonderful one.

I hope you all have a great day!

I MET MUH 50 LB GOAL Woot Woot. Now between 4-9 to go....since I am actually 1 pound below my goal of 165. I have lost 27 inches overall. 12 of those are from my thighs combined.

Whoa!

Matilda - WTG 3 pounds

Matilda08 · 10-09-2009, 08:44 AM

Congrats Cake that is wonderful news!!!!!

CakeBatter · 10-09-2009, 09:44 AM

thanks matilda - i realize ya'll already knew I was getting my token last night but i actually got to change my ticker. sorry for sounding like a broken mirror.

Matilda08 · 10-09-2009, 01:52 PM

Girl Pulease! Im going to let you live in your glory I can only imagine! Im happy for you!

I lost another lbs putting me at 236

CakeBatter · 10-09-2009, 03:00 PM

how long do you have your before bday?

Matilda08 · 10-09-2009, 06:53 PM

Girl its this month lol on 10/30 I wanted to be down to 220 at least but that isnt going to happen. I was 220 in Febuary and feel off the wagon. If I break the 230 mark by my b day ill be happy ive been here for to long. Id like to push for 210 for my end of year goal.

Im counting calories well doing detox not so much but after I will be and sticking to 1800 calories a day. Detox helps me control my cravings and I think Im going to try to do it once a month for five days. My cravings are really down and I just have to hang in there with what I am doing. My problem has always been STICKING to eating right. I pray daily. I just want to be in onderland sooooooo bad.....lol

beaka · 10-10-2009, 05:06 AM

Hey, ladies! Thanks for keeping the thread going.

Matilda, I know you'll be back down in no time.

Cake, way to go! And you SHOULD tell your story. Think of all the stories you've read on here that helped you along the way. People wanna know!

As for me, I didn't do the Shred today. I plan to get up and do it then try to do C25K in the evening. I ate terribly today since I went out to Chili's. But I'm slowly pulling it back together. I got my truck back today!!! So I can finally go pick up my healthy groceries too.

CakeBatter · 10-10-2009, 10:24 AM

Thanks girls! I am going to post this weekend with pictures ! So guys now that i have lost 50 pounds I am sort of like "now what"?! I have realized in the last couple days I am very "goal-oriented", meaning I have to set me a new goal. Maybe 5lbs or 10 lbs.

Beaka - I think it is just three of us! Yeah for healthy groceries! I love them! Make me stay straight....hehehe

Matilda - that is the same day as my sissie's bday. I won't forget that. I think you can lose the 6 pounds by then. Just keep doing what you are doing!

beaka · 10-11-2009, 10:43 AM

Cake: I'll be waiting on those pics

I'm feeling good today. I've already gotten up and went to early morning service and did my healthy grocery shopping. I feel SO good after going to church this morning. It has actually been months since I've been. I feel like I do better with sticking with the weight loss when my life seems on track in general with church and work and keeping my house clean. I did the Shred yesterday. I'm gonna go out and go for a walk- not sure if I'll C25K it today. I hope all of you ladies have a beautiful Sunday. I did speak with Brie one day and she's gotten moved into her place, so I think she's doing well.

Good Day!

JasonsLea · 10-12-2009, 01:28 AM

girls!

WTG CAKE and MATILDA!

I hope you had a great weekend! Mine was so-so, I was a little depressed last night because I missed my friends back home but it led into a NSV: I permed my own hair for the first time!

And it actually turned out okay, a little wavy and my ends need to be clipped(see photo), but alright! I'm just tickled about conquering something that seems so simple to everyone else. Now I just need to get the hang of wrapping my hair and I'll be straight.

*Sorry for the huge pic, I don't know how to make it smaller. >.<

I also lost 1.2 lbs this week. But I was looking at my WI calendar and TOM is due soon. I want him to come now so he can't screw up my next WI but I doubt that will happen.

to a fabulous week for everyone!
