Thanks Laura. It feels awesome! We went to the Toronto Santa Claus parade today and know I want to put up my tree LOL. Bought a few gifts, but I gotta get a move on as I HATE crowds.

Found you guys!

Sorry to hear you are having a rough time with your birthday. I never thought I'd have an issue and didn't when I turned 30, but the closer I get to 40 I don't like it :(

Great job on the weight loss! Keep up the good work ;)

It did make me feel good and starting to feel a little better. Mornings are always the worst as I find I get very congested while sleeping.


I have to STOP stepping on my home scale LOL. I do it too much!

Good job. I have had a few parties and actually found it easier then I thougt I would. My problem is weekends. Today was very hard as we were in Toronto all day. I didn't get in as much water and the kids were starving becuase the parade was so busy and ended up at McD's so I had a fajita for lunch :( I know we can eat them, but it was a very small lunch LOL

Hope everyone had a great weekend....I worked it, and boy am I glad to be off today. It was a good weekend at work, it was my 4th day yesterday and I find by the 4th day I am done....I am on the next 4 after today...so by Friday...I will be ready for the weekend!! I love my job and my residents, but sometimes I wished I worked 8 shifts instead of 10.

171.2 ladies....yeah!!!! I am liking those numbers...if this is what keeps me on track then I will do this every morning. I have to tell you all that I am very excited to see 160 something looking back at me....20+ years is a long time and that is the last time I seen 160's looking back at me...and back then I HATED those numbers...but now I will welcome them back with open arms!!

I am going to send Fallon a private message letting her know about the FB group, just incase all the messages are too overwhelming for her to go through when she does ge back online. I sure hope she is doing okay....:?:

Well off I go to check things out....I know I post in both sites now, do you guys find that too much? Atleast there if we want to talk more on a private level without having other members read our posts we can, as it is a private board, so it is only us group members that can read the stuff there...and I like that...ALOT!!

Just let me know if you guys find it too much!! I guess you know by now, I like to talk....LOL...just let me know, I won't take offence to it :p

Hi Everyone,
Had a bit of a rough weekend - for no reason just blew it with wine and chips :( Oh well, Sunday was a new day and already starting to go well - hopefully I'll be back to my ticker weight in a day or two.

Congrats on the big loss Betterlife!

Anyone tried Platoria? Generally it's for plateaus, but my centre recommends it for weeks when you know you're gonna fall of the wagon and I got a couple of those weekends ahead. Jeepers I spend a lot of money. :)

Have a great day everyone!
Laura

170.2!!

thanks for the congrats....but it was only a .8 since Wednesday...BUT after my Friday night flip out....I will take it....LOL...and now this morning down another pound...I got off and on the scales 3 times...and even moved them and they said the same thing...LOL. Can never be too sure right?

Way to go getting back on track Laura. Doesn't it suck that 1 slip up can mess you up that much?!?!

Well off I go to do my morning ritual...email...tea...toast....dressed...off to work...blah blah blah. Ever so patiently waiting for 2:30pm to get here...

Have a great day!

Kim - That's awesome! Congrats :carrot: You'll be in the 160's in no time.

Laura - Sorry to hear you had a rough weekend. I found I wanted to lots this weekend and couldn't figure out why, but looked at the calendar and figured out that af is due to arrive soon :dizzy: Explains everything LOL

I woke up this morning to find out I have pink eye in both eyes :mad: Seriously when am I going to get a break :( So called all my parents to tell them I'm closing today. So off to the clinic I go. I am suppose to wi tonight and am thinking I should just go this morning after I go to the clinic. The only thing I worry about is that it will put my weight off because I am going early in the day and then Thursday I risk going up. I guess I know why though. It will be just so much easier to go without all three kids :D

Hope we hear from Fallon soon :(

Thanks Tamara!!

Sorry to hear about the pinkeye...such a bad time of year for sickness...I hope things let up for you soon though. Enough already!! Dod you go for your weigh in??

I sent Fallon a message and still have not heard from her...hope she is okay.

I put in for some time off for next week so I can go shopping for a few days in the U.S......cannot wait, I am just looking forward to getting away if anything. We leave Tuesday and come home Friday. Hoping to get some good buys!!

I looked for the facebook group but can't find it, could someone help me??

sending you a message with the link wannabe!!

Shopping trip sounds great and well deserved Kim!

So this morning I was down to 147.0 - whew, not too much damage in one weekend - ha ha!

Now time to settle in with Biggest Loser :)

Every time I try to post I get booted :mad:

So I did go wi early and was down 1.8 lbs so I am finally in the 140's. I'm at 149.8 lbs so hopefully the time that I went didn't effect it too much.

WAY TO GO LADIES!!!!!

Tamara if you are up a wee bit atleast you know why! You must feel amazing being in the 140's...good for you!!

I was 171.2lbs this morning, shows me up 1lb...but I think it is because I have had beef twice this week, we had a roast Sunday and I had some lean ground beef lastnight...so needless to say it is not leaving my body too quickly. I should have known better then to eat the beef lastnight but I was making spagetti for everyone else and it was a quick protein for me...chicken/eggs here on outfor the rest of the week. Till THE BUS decides to move I guess...blah.

What did you guys think of the Biggest Loser lastnight?? I bawled my eyes out....what an eye opener...I am totally each and everyone of those contestants all wrapped into little old me...sure hit home. Then a co-worker made a comment on my wall that really touched me deep down, not sure if you guys seen it or not, but she really made me feel good. It makes me want to keep going all the way to 137.5 just so I know...I DID IT and I didn't give up at 150 pounds. I know of 3 people right now that stopped before their goal weight because they felt good where they were at....I feel good NOW but that doesn't mean I am going to stop now....ALL THE WAY TO GOAL!!!! If for some reason I don't make it because I just can't reach it...then I will know I tried...but I won't go down without a fight!!!!

Have a great day everyone!!

Hi Everyone
Congrats Tamara - 140's are great!!!

Kim -Do you drink coffee? I've never been one for coffee but tried it recently just for something different. Didn't expect it, but gotta say no buses have been parked here for awhile. Ha ha!

Ever had one of those days? Ugh I'm having one, including forgetting my lunch at home (panic!) - fortunately the staff at HM gave me a protein bar to tie me over till I got home. BUT....almost forgot!!! I recovered from the weekend very quickly - I'm down to 146.0 WOO HOO!!! Love, love, loving it!

I was bawling at biggest loser last night too. The little girl who wants to start her journey broke my heart - I remember being there. Good she'll get healthier, but so sad. Sigh.

Have a great night everyone!!!
Laura :)

Might post this as a recipe on the FB group, but it seems to simple to be considered a recipe. If you're like me, you're freezing all the time and the thought of biting into a cold apple isn't appealing. Instead, cut it up, sprinkle splenda brown sugar and cinamon on it, and microwave for 30 sec. Awesome! My HM centre gave me the idea.

Laura...I do this all the time, even before I started my new journey. I LOVE LOVE LOVE cinnamon!!

As for the coffee, I wish it would work for me that way, but unfortunatley, it doesn't:(

146...WAHOOOOOO.....WAY TO GO GIRL!!!! I am so hoping to be in the 160's on Saturday!!!!

Yes that little grl on TBL broke my heart, when Danny was talking and she started to cry, I lost it...I was that little girl as well...I hope she follows the right path and stays on it. The whole episode just hit so close to home, I hate the thoughts of it ending in a couple of weeks. It is all I look forward to on TV.

I went bowling tonight and I wore a pair of jeans I haven't worn in a few weeks...and I had to keep pulling them up, the suckers kept falling off of me, I can remember when I couldn't even pull them up over hips...that was 5 months ago....5 months on the 20th of this month to be exact...now I can't keep them up...LOL...AND DAMN IT FEELS GREAT. Tonight was actually the first time I have really noticed my weightloss...I said to my husband...I am shrinking aren't I...and he said I have been telling you that. SEE I TOLD YOU...LOL

I love the new me I am slowly becoming...and darn it feels great...oh yeah just thought of this too...I went out the throw the garbage out at work this morning and I ran right back up the stairs...and I didn't die doing it....I could feel such a difference when I came up them, I said to my co-worker...I RAN ALL THE WAY UP THE STAIRS AND I DIDN"T DIE.....and MY A** DIDN"T COME UP AND SMACK ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD EITHER...LMAO.....and that felt great as well~!

Off I go...have a great night ladies!!!

Awesome Kim - you're officially a skinny chick when your pants fall down!!! Now your international shopping trip is even more deserved. Congrats!
