I hope I did this right...I know that threads only hold 500 posts and we my friends are pretty much there. So this is the new thread for us!!!!!!!

Kim

I found it - thanks Kim!

Does anyone know about stabilization? Do you still take WM2000 in addition to something else - or just the something else? Are you likely to lose more weight in that six weeks? I'm trying to decide if I want to officially change my goal, or just call it and see what happens. Part of me wants to keep going (I haven't been in the 130's since I was 12 years old). But part of me wants to stop spending so much money, and more important I worry I won't be able to maintain it. Any info/advice is appreciated!!! Thanks!

Just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words. It's really refreshing knowing that there are people you don't even know rooting for you!

Laura You continue to take the WM2000's all through stab
Yes you can lose in stab some people up to 5 lbs still. Some dont though depends on how fast your metabolism is
Once you start Maintenance you will replace the WM2000's for the Platinum 2000's

Good Morning everyone!!

What a beautiful day here!! Hope you are all having the same wonderful weather!!

Fallon...no worries hun we are all rooting for you!! Just remember if you need to vent off or just talk send me a message...not here to judge anything, just want to be there for you. I know what you are going through as my husband and I were having problems in the spring but we worked through them and now we are closer then we ever were....still has it moments...but everyone does. I wish the best for you!!

Dria...it is so nice to see you on the boards...have missed you!! How have you been doing??

Laura...do what you think is best for you...do you think you could maintain in the 130's? My goal weight is 137.5....but I am thinking for me 140-150 will be easier for me to maintain...and honestly I think I will look better in that range, I have lost alot of inches already and I don't want to look too small if I go into the 130's....although it would be AWESOME as I have not been there since I was about 12 myself....I want to be realistic about it, and not set myself up for failure...but hey who knows....I might just go all the way!!

Well ladies I did it....I RAN this morning...it was more of a walk/run....I walked for about the first 25 minutes as I was trying to talk myself into biting the bullet and running then I thought...WTH and I just did it. I walk/ran 5.51km in 1hr 2 minutes....I am so proud of myself. Little sore...but soooooo proud of me!! And I didn't die doing it...LOL...which is a good thing...ha ha. Hope I can get out of bed in the morning...LOL

Once again I think I am in THE ZONE...I feel so in control again....I hope I can stay here this time....it is the little bumps along the way that throw me off....Jan from the center told me Thursday that she is glad I have ran into these curves along the way...because that is life...and I know she is right. Life isn't perfect and there are obstacles along the way all the time. I just wish they would stay out of my life for a while....LOL

I weigh again Wednesday and that is when we are sitting down and going over everything and I think that she might be changing things up for me a bit...I have no idea what she has in mind for me.

I am very excited to be wearing my SIZE 12 PANTS today to go to the baby shower!!! I got a sweater as well but I think it might be still just a little bit too tight...but we'll see.

Talk to you all later!!

Thanks Dria and BL for the info/advice. I think I'll try for another 5lbs. I've just always wanted to be a 'skinny' girl. I remember being six years old and not being able to fit into 'roadrunner' jeans that all the other girls wore. Being in the department store trying them on is actually one of my most vivid childhood memories :( So this may be my chance (34 years later) to finally get what I want. The other thing (and this drives me crazy) is I'm an 'apple' shape, most people are 'pears'. So while my weight isn't bad, my waist/hip ratio isn't that healthy. I figure the worst that can happen is I can't maintain it, I'll readjust and go back up.

WAY TO GO BL on the RUN!!!!!!! I bet by spring you'll be running a 10k race. Isn't that high you get just the best! Congrats!!!!!

Well everyone - here's to a great week when all of us are in that zone!!!
Laura

Hello ladies!

Kim - I've been trying to doing a running program for quite awhile now and still haven't finished it but it's awesome. It's called couch to 5 k. I downloaded free podcasts on my phone and it is a 9 week program that takes couch potatoes and by the end of the 9 weeks you can run 5k. So you start off very slow doing intervals of running and walking. You are suppose to run 3 times a week non-consecutive days.

I am thinking of changing my goal weight too. They actually suggested 5 lbs more then what I wanted but from what I've heard and seen I think I should stick with their goal because like some of you said it will be easier to maintain and I really don't need to be a bean pole LOL

So how many of you are on Facebook? I'm an addict on there :)

Laura....glad you came to a decision..it is hard...and I sure I will deal with the exact same when I get to where you are. I am a pear shaped girl, but I guess you already know that from my pics...speaking of which are yours???? AND Tamara...yours?? LOL

Tamara and Laura...thank you....it felt so great yesterday when I was running...I had to keep pushing myself at some points and all I could think was...OMG now I know how they feel on The Biggest Loser when they push them to run on the treadmills.....because when I wantd to stop yesterday I kept telling myself....that Jillian was standing next to me and I had to keep going....it worked most times....but darn it was hard. I was SOOOOO sore by lastnight and even this morning...but I am not going to let that get me down. I am going to take today off from it, but I do go to aquafit tonight...so maybe that will help with the soreness and stiffness.

Tamara I am going to check out that program....thanks!!

FACEBOOK...oh girl you have no idea...I am addicted too...i don't play thegames there...I am just on it...ALL THE TIME....LOL

Today is my oldest sons birthday. he is 16...man I feel old....cannot believe he is 16 already...where has the time gone??? Heck if that don't make me feel old enough...my Birthday is this Friday...I will be 36...damn HOW DID THAT HAPPEN????

Well I better get moving along.....hav to eat and get to work...have a great day all!!

Kim - Happy Birthday to your son! If you google the program you should be able to find different things. I use kickmyblackass.org, but they have all kinds of different music if you search.

I know I need to get some pics :o Unfortunately I only have head shots or I'm the one taking the pic LOL. I tried to set up my timer the other day, but my two year old kept running in the way :D Maybe I'll ask hubby to take one. I am a pear shape too though :)

I need to get to the gym. I think that's hilarious that you thought of Jillian. I LOVE that show and so wish I could have her kicking my butt LOL. I didn't go to the gym at all last week because I tried to do a cartwheel for my kids last week and I pulled a muscle :o So I am hoping to go tonight, but not sure that it's going to happen :(

I play too many games on Facebook. If anyone wants to add me let me know :D

Guess I should go get some breakfast. Hope everyone has a great day!

Farmville addict here Tamara! And yep on FB lots.

Kim - I'll do pics soon - I got a really ugly before one - didn't know my friend was taking it and it shows me bad. But like Tamara, I'm holding the camera, so the after pic doesn't exist yet.

I love Biggest Loser. Love Jillian, but she scares me too. We have two instructors at my gym, one is like Jillian, one is closer to Bob. I thought I would do better with the Jillian-type, but I find I'm scared so I tend to not give it my all and leave a bit in reserve in case it gets too hard. Whereas the Bob-type trainer, says things like if you can handle it go a bit harder, and I think - what the heck does she mean do I think I can handle it, I'll show her - and I end up pushing way harder. Funny psychology of it all. Speaking of the gym, I should really go back there soon (it's been almost 3 weeks - oops!).

Have a great bday celebration Kim - I assume without the cake - ha ha!!

Laura

Hello again.

Well I have been sick since October 25th......... I had bronchitis(sp?) and an ear infection. I have never been so sick in my entire life. I'm still not 100%, I have no energy at all. I lived on chicken noodle soup, popsicles and gingerale for a whole week. I weighed in on October 24th and then just went on November 7th and was down 3 pounds!!! I haven't followed the plan or taken any of my pills. I started back on the plan today and so far so good. I am hoping to get back into the swing of things this week.

I only have 42 more days until we leave for Hawaii. I'd like to try and weigh under 200lbs before I leave!!!

Laura - I play Farmville, Farm Town and my latest addiction is Cafe World :dizzy: Doesn't help that I work from home and have a laptop :D

Wannabethin - So sorry to hear that you were so sick. I know I had a sinus infection and it really kicked the poop out of me. Glad to hear you are down 3 lbs and on the mend.

Its so funny to read how much we all like the same things! I'm a total Biggest loser and Facebook addict also! I love playing farmville, mafia wars, and Bejewled Blitz! haha too funny :)
So sorry to hear you've been so sick Wannabethin. Its such a setback! But good attitude for getting right back on again :) I'm crossing my fingers I don't get sick....Seems to be so much flu going around here where I live. My daughter is famous for bringing every flu bug home to share with me! haha
I have no WI results to share until Wed...I've been working night shift, but when I do..I'll let youall know :)
Hope everyones week is going well :)
Take care

Evening all my FB BIGGEST LOSER ADDICTED FRIENDS....LOL...as I said
I don't play the games but am addicted to it....if anyone wants to be friends I am game just let me know!!

Tamara...thanks for the birthday wishes for my son!!

Laura...no cake...had a small piece yesterday at the shower though and my aunt says to me..KIM THAT'S NOT EVEN A PIECE OF CAKE....LOL...it was a small piece. I said well it'big enough for me...lol

Wannabe...so sorry you have been sick...I hope things start looking up for you!!

Renee...good luck on Wednesday, that is when I go too!!

I AM SOOOOOOO SORE AND STIFF TONIGHT....O M G....didn't think it would hurt this bad....LOL But I keep trying to convince myself it is a good pain...somehow I think it isn't working....LOL..It's all Jillian's fault!!! LMAO

I hope tomorrow evening I am feeling better as I would like to attempt it again...no aquafit tonight either, my mom had some union stuff going on so we are passing on it...maybe go Wednesday.

I am so thankful to have you guys here along the way....so many have come and gone, I think the only original is Dria..and then me...WHERE IS EVERYONE GONE??? Hope they are well!!! You guys are amazing support, it is nice to have someone that you can relate to along this journey!!!

Fallon....keeping you in my thoughts...hope all is well with you! <3

wow everyone seems to be trudging along! Unfortunately I am starting my second week of being sick. Didnt weigh in at all and woke up this morning with a major sore throat! Im thinking throat infection. I am trying my hardest to keep to plan, but comfort foods are hard to pass up when all you want is to feel better.
Darn kids I watch getting me sick!! grrrr
Im hoping the warm weather stays until Wednesday for remembrance day, my husband was asked to stand at the epitaph, hes sick as well so fingers crossed!
You all motivate me so much wish I could loose like you guys! I think my body just doesn't want me any smaller than I am! Ill keep on truck'n, it just gets frusturating!
Will be watching BL tomorrow night and so thankful that last weeks contestant(can't think of her name) got booted off!!
Hoping to get a weigh in on Wednesday, hopefully I managed just to stay the same weight!!

Oh yeah Skimmy - that was Tracy that got voted off - yay - she was bad.
I too am grateful for everyone on here! I check this board as much as FB :lol: I figure computer addiction is better than carb addiction!

I spoke to my HM gal about my goal weight and she said I could probably go lower (I have a small frame), but suggested I don't actually set a goal weight (which has been stressing me a bit). Instead, just keep going until I think it's time. That helps me a bit, cause I was really worried about doing stab over xmas. So I'll go till at least the first week in January, and for ticker purposes I've increased my goal weight another 5lbs to 139. Feels good.

Skimmy and Wannabe - get better soon! Kim - hope the pain goes away soon, but really....don't you love it - you totally kicked butt yesterday!

Good luck on the WI's Renee and Tamara!!
Laura :)

Hello everyone! FInally found you over here :lol:

I had a challenging weekend of events where Ihad no control over the menu and then my b-day was Sunday and my kids were disgusted that I wasn't going to have any of my own cake so I had a little slice.

In the meantime, my home scale has been going up up up the last few days! What the??? I haven't been that far off plan so I can only assume it is salt/water weight. Here's hoping it is gone soon.

In the meantime, I am drinking TONS of water and hoping for the bet when I get to the centre tomorrow.

Oh yes...I too am a Biggest Loser addict and was thrilled that Tracey finally got the boot!

Tracey....Oh YES she was BAD...was not sad to see her and her buggy eyes leave lastweek...she had freaky eyes...lol...and she was nasty and just not a fair player....but she did look amazing at the end...but we will all look better then her in the end as well....YEAH US!!!!

Yes I love that I succeeded at something that scared the **** outta me...but seriously does it have to hurt THIS MUCH....LOL...OMG my thighs still kill....was hoping by this evening they will feel better so I can hit the the gym...but I want to be able to get out of bed in the morning...everytime I walk I feel the burn ESPECIALLY when I walk up the stairs...OH MY!! LOL
I had to kneel down yesterday at work to wipe some juice up off the floor and one of the residents was watching me...and she says...that looked like it hurt...ALOT...I didn't even know she was watching me....LOL..and I said yeah my legs are sore today...and she said...YEAH I can tell....lol...I felt like a fool...lol

MOM....YOU MADE FOUND US...YEAH!!!!!!!!! Don't let those darn scales get you down...seriously I think someone should just burn them all sometimes....LOL

Good luck at your WI today!!!!


Have a great day!

Hey ladies!

Long time, no talk... I always read up on you all and am really excited for everything you have accomplished, especially the ups and downs that come with keeping on track to a healthy lifestyle!

I'm about to start stab C.. way too much food for me. Also going to start taking a prescription that has a side effect of weight gain.. boo. Hopefully it doesn't happen to me lol. My scale had been pretty stable the last few weeks.. good for stab... but it's not at a number I'm really happy with. Trying to step it up at the gym and eliminate my FE so that I can get down a bit more.. .not sure what weight I'll be happy with. Trying to get to the gym at least 4 days a week and have stuck with either going 4 miles in 45 minutes or 5 miles in an hour. Also doing some exercises to tone the abs, but still have that pesky layer of bulge over top that is preventing me from seeing my progress (at least that's what I keep telling myself!) Not sure what happens from here if the gym doesn't do it for me... wondering if I'm allowed to start cutting back on foods again and repeat the process without the supplements... or what exactly happens when my year with HM is up. Know my progress at the gym would be more noticeable if I was eating less... hmm. Not part of the program though. Any suggestions?

Good luck to everyone on their WI Wednesday! Think I may be heading into the city tomorrow too... as long as I don't get sick first! About 20% of the school population away yesterday.. yikes!

Great job ladies! Keep up the good work everyone. I'm hoping that you will all inspire me to get my butt to the gym LOL. I know this week is a write off because I have something going on every evening, but I should be able to get there on the weekend and next week for sure.

I had my wi tonight and was very happy to see I'm down 1.4 lbs. I've been a little disappointed in my numbers lately so I was very happy with that number :carrot: Didn't realize until I changed my ticker, but I'm down over 13 lbs :D

I too am a BL fan. I always save my FE usually 100 cal chips to eat while I'm watching it LOL

Question for those of you who are running on a threadmill, how exactly are you doing it? Did you just get on and run as long as you can? Still not sure how to do it as I don't have Jillian screaming in my ear LMAO.

Wow what did you all think of The Biggest Loser tonight?? I was very sad to see Shay go, but it is all about the game...was also hoping to see her progress....I am not sure who I want to be TBL....I like Rudy...and Dani....Liz drives me NUTS...she is so snooty. And Rebecca and Allen remind me of the arrogant people that think they are better then everyone else....and Amanda...well I do like her she is a sweetheart....I am so torn....where are your thoughts??

Looking forward to my WI tomorrow...hoping my workouts will show tomorrow, I hit the gym again tonight and pushed myself on the treadmill...felt great at the time...but my legs are still sore...I just don't want to rest them too much and have to go throught this all over again the next time I run.

Tamara...I still have yet to get up the nerve to run on the treadmill. I was talking with a co-worker that has taken up running over the last year or so and she told me today that running outside is much harder then the treadmill...so if I can conquer it outside....I have to be able to do it inside, for me it is more of a self esteem thing...I am embarassed at what people will think...which is what I dealt with on Sunday when I had to talk myself into running in the first place....all I kept thinking was OMG what if someone I know drives by...what if I see so and so...blah blah blah...and then I thought...to he** with everyone else and what they might think...atleast I am doing something to help myself....and I can do this. and I just did it!! And it was the best feeling I have felt in a very long time...it was a feeling of accomplishment, and that is something I haven't felt very much when it comes to taking care of myself. Tamara...you can do this...you need to inspire yourself and just do it...and it is the best feeling you will ever feel...I was so proud of myself on Sunday.....when my face was beat red and I was soaked in sweat...and even the pain I am feeling right now...I am proud of.....because I took control and beat one of my fears...I looked it in the eye and kicked it's ***!!! NEXT IN LINE...kicking that treadmill's ***....LOL And when I do...you all will know let me tell you...it might take me a while, but I will do it. It reminds me of the week Jillian was after Dana to jump up on the stool...I know exactly how she felt because that is how the treadmill makes me feel. I will beat that big ugly piece of metal...one of these days!!!!!!!

Way to go on the loss as well Tamara...you are doing fantastic!!

Michele....I hope you do well on this new med you are going on!! keep us posted...we are all here for you!!

Well ladies I am off to bed...I am so tired tonight. Glad to be off tomorrow...not much housework to do either, which is GREAT!!!

See you all tomorrow!!

K

Hi Everyone, just finished watching Biggest Loser - darn, two of my faves went home :( I find Liz annoying too! Not sure who I like best now.

Better Life - some people cry at movies, I cry at the finish line of races. I don't care about the fast people who make it look easy. I care about those who you can see really worked for it (big or small), and I'm so happy for them I cry. (I'm one of those people - took me 5 hours, but I did a marathon 9 years ago). So, if you insist on worrying what others are thinking about you when you're on the treadmill - think about me crying watching you because you are such an inspiration!!

Tamara - man, me too - I'm so lazy. I get this way when it starts getting dark out. Maybe we should challenge each other to get in to the gym three times next week.

Mom - good to see you here again - hope that water weight is off!

Michele - sorry, no suggestions. I bet HM would say you have to do supplements :( Maybe you can just try and modify the diet yourself? You know, I don't do abs cause I figure I don't want muscles in my tummy bigger - I'll use any excuse to not do abs - ha ha! Seriously, I'd rather run for hours than do 10 sit ups. Good luck!

Have a great day everyone!
Laura :)

Thanks ladies.

I was sad last night with the BL too. I wish they showed more about how Shay was doing at home though. I really hope she can keep it up. I was so sad to see Daniel's best friend and his attitude towards his wl. I guess we have all been there and you do need to mentally be in the right spot to get the weight off. Anyway, I have to agree with all of you about Rebecca and Allen and I think I would like Dani or Rudy to win.

I guess my running I worry about because with other things there is really only one way to do it so I know I'm doing it right. With the running I'm not sure if I just go for it and run for as long as I can because I don't have Jillian there to yell at me to keep going LOL That's why I liked my couch to 5 k program because it prompts you to run or walk and I am sweating by the end. I too have heard that it is harder to run outside, but I figured for me if I'm on the treadmill I have to run because the machine is going and if I'm outside I will slow down or stop easier because nothing is "forcing" me to run if you get what I mean. Gonna get back to the gym for sure next week. This week just had too much with dentist appointments, meetings etc that I could have only gone 1 day and my leg was still hurting then from my "injury" :dizzy:

Good luck to all of you who still have wi's this week :D

Awwww Laura...you just brought tears to my eyes...It is comments like that...that keep me pushing on.....thanks so much :hug:

I am just waiting for my mom to get and pick me up so we can go to the center...I am sooooo hungry this morning it's not even funny...I ate dinner lastnight at around 5pm and that was the last I ate....wasn't hungry lastnight by the time I went to the gym and at 6:30, got home at around 7:45 I jumped in the shower quick then watched my show till 10:00...came down checked email, wrote you guys and went to bed....NOW I am STARVING...LOL

So HOPEFULLY today isn't one of the days she shows up late...:^:

Talk to you all very soon and hopefully with some good news!

K

BL was alright last night! I suppose they left an update for Shay till the finale so we can all be wowed at how well(or not) she has done! I do like how they are mixing the game up, keeps the contestants on their toes that for sure.
I'm still sick but I think I'm slowly getting over it. Hoping to get a weigh in on Friday. My scale at home says I'm the same. Being sick and trying to lose weight really sucks.
Heading off this morning to the local legion for the remembrance day ceremony. My husband as been given the honor of standing vigil at the epitaph. Take a few minutes to remember those that have fallen and those that continue to fight the good fight! ...then go for a run!:)

ps. when I started running on the treadmill the trainer told me to always start at an incline of 2, that way it is more like your running outside and its better on the knees!

Hello again.....I am back and smiling so big I can hardly stand it!!!!! 172 BABY!! I was down 3.25lbs...wahoooo!!!!!! So excited about that!! I am so close to being in the 160's OMG....I have not been there since I was a teenager...so I am setting a goal for myself to lose 2.25lbs just enough to put me at 169.75lbs....my next WI day is Monday....it might be a little much to shoot for since I did have such a great drop today....even if I am there by next Saturday when I weigh...I am okay with that!!

Will be back...have to go change my ticker/profile/whatever....LOL

Okay so I am back...and just noticed I am passed the halfway mark on my WL journey....wow....feels so great too. We went over my plan again and she suggested a few different things for me to do, but she left the foods and supps alone for now, she does like the way I am coming along. I am not that far off track I guess.

Well I am going to go have a lie down...still feeling tired.

Have a great afternoon!!

Hello Ladies...Thanks for the updates on the Biggest Loser..I missed it last night because I was workign night shift this week! But I'm all up to date thanks to all of you :)
Went for my WI today and was down 3.2lbs....such a good loss. I'm not sure if its because of different eating patterns while working night shift..I find I don't eat as much. Does anyone else work rotating days to nights that they could share what they do??
Congrats everyone on having a good week so far!
Skimmy...thanks for that tip about running on the treadmill. I'm fairly new to running and have only been using my treadmill...haven't the courage to do it outdoors yet!! lol I've already done it for today...but tomorrow I will try it with an incline of 2!
Take care all!!

Woo-hoo - congrats Kim and Renee - those are huge drops!!!! :carrot: Way to Go!!!!

Okay, I finally have some pics - I've tried to put them as attachments, not sure it worked.

Today my centre told me they moved my goal date to Jan 31, from Dec 4 - I didn't even have to pay. :) They said they hate moving people to stab during xmas anyway, so they sometimes give some extra time. I think they were just being nice to me cause I was nervous about that. I'm still only thinking going to January 7 or so - but that has kicked me in the butt to change my ticker to 135 instead of 139 - haven't been that weight since I was 12.

Have a great night everyone!
Laura

YEAH RENEE!!! I only work days so I am no help to you. I do know that when I was working night and trying to eat healthier...I found it very hard...as I could not eat alot.

Laura....Lookit you you little HOTTIE.....you look amazing. I personally think you look awesome at the weight you are now, but you have to do what you think is good for you!

Ladies I have to share with you guys...I got a FB message from a co-worker yesterday and it really touched me so deep inside and made me cry.

""hey kim.. i don't usually ask for help but just wondering if u could help me out and maybe give me food tips like meal ideas or snacks !! i wish i had the knowledge to do this myself but i keep failing..... let me know thanx your looken great !!!!!""

WOW...I cannot believe I had inspired someone that much that they are asking me for help...and it feels so great let me tell you, I told her that ofcourse I will help you!! So we are going to sit down and try to figure out a plan for her, I don't think joining HO or HM is an option for her, but I am willing to help her get the weight off, by eating healthier. If you guys have suggestions as well...please let me know.

Hoping to get to thegym tonight either that or I am going for another run, haven't done another run since Sunday, had bowling lastnight.

Skimmy, thanks for the tips for the treadmill as well.

Well off I go for another fun-filled day in .....!! I am sure you gals can fill in that blank...LOL

Have a good one!
K

I don't know why I didn't get any notice that anyone posted :(

Anyway, great job everyone. Some amazing drops. I had my second wi of the week and was down another 0.8 lbs which puts me at a total of 14 lbs :carrot:

I am sick again :( I am really tired of being sick. I did pick up a cold & flu pack and some other pill that I can't think of off the top of my head but basically to help with colds etc (kind of like Cold FX). I did go to the Dr. and they said it was a continuation of my sinus infection from two weeks ago. I don't think that's what it is, but I'm not a Dr LOL

I had my daycare meeting last night that we get together once a month. So many people made comments about my weight finally! :D One lady actually asked how much and when I told her she said "That really surprised me because I would say you look like you've lost at least 30 lbs" :dancer: That made me feel soooooooo good!

So my goal is to get to the 140's next week :D

Told you people would notice when you got close to 15lbs - congrats Tamara!! And hope you get better soon!

I'm starting to put up xmas decorations and get my shopping done (I know -I'm just into it this year). Sadly, I'm in the mood for eggnog. :( I looked up a couple of things....a tall nonfat eggnog latte at Starbucks is 350 calories, one third of them from fat. Regular nonfat eggnog is over 250 calories - um, that's without the rum. Maybe it'll be a xmas eve treat.

Oh well, back to my tea - ha ha!

OMG I thought I lost all you girls...WE ARE BACK....I found Laura on FB....we all need to add one another on FB so we have eachother!!!!

WHAT A RELIEF...I need you guys!!! LOL

Don't have time to post now...just know that I am happy to have you all back.

Kim

I made a group on facebook called....Just Friends....anyone that wants to join please do so, so we don't lose one another.

I think I have to approve you to join, don't just want anyone joining...LOL

Hope you have all been well, tough night lastnight, have done well today so far...have been drinking water
like crazy today. Hoping to redeem myself.

I didn't expect my birthday to effect me the way it has....the thoughts of turning 40 in 4 years really does bother me, have never dealt with
age issues before...30 was nothing...but 40....that is a tough one to swallow. I just keep telling myself...I will be better at 40 then I was at 20...fitter and healthier.

ONWARD I go!!!!!!!

K

OK what the heck....I swear I have been having issues getting to this website - anyone else having issues?

Anyhooooo...WTG on the losses everyone!

BL - You are so close to your next decade...keep going!!!! And that is so sweet of you to help out your friend & her WL struggles. It's never easy, but it's nice having someone to help you & hold your hand when you need it.

Laura - you look amazing - I can only imagine how you must feel!!!

Tamara - sorry to hear you are sick - it sucks :( But I am happy that people are noticing your WL!!!! That would totally make up for feeling sick, imo....ok well maybe for a few seconds anyway!!! :)

Well I was down -1.4lbs this week! Gonna keep on trucking.....so close to the -20lbs mark!

Have a great evening everyone :)

Hey all just checking in. I am finally getting ride of this cold/cough. Feeling more like myself again. I havent gone for a weigh in for 2 weeks now. My home scale hasnt fluctuated too much.
I didnt want to get anyone else sick and sleeping like crap so spending most of the week at home.
Figures crossed I can get back into the swing of things. I was suppose to be at goal by now but I'm not so I am hoping to loose 8lbs by Christmas!!
This site was down for awhile so I hope everyone is well, and I did join the FB group!! Kim aka skimmy!!

HMj...yes the site has been down....I made a facebook page...so we could all join and not lose one another if for some reason this site goes down again, we can still keep in touch...come join us!!

I DON'T WANT THE NEXT DECADE...LOL I hate this I feel so damned old right now....me 40...NO WAY!!!!! Imagine what I will be like when it does get here...hopefully will deal better then I am now, because this stinks...my poor husband thinks I am pissed at him, and I have tried to explain, but he just doesn't get it.

I haven't yet sat down with the co-worker...it is so hard to get a time that works...life always seems to be in the way of something.

WTG on the 1.4 los as well....keep on keepin on girlie!!

Skimmy....Glad you are starting to feel better!! Hope you can get back on track, it is hard once you stray...don't I know it all too well!!


Welcome to the facebook group...I wondered who it was...LOL Hope everyone else joins as well...i like our little group here and would hate to lose you all!!!

I just got back from the gym....felt great to go....haven't been since Tuesday.

Well I better get going...want to check email and then get to bed, work tomorrow, then off Monday, thank goodness!!

Have a great night all.

Thanks goodness the site is up again - that was frustrating. I joined the FB group Kim - great idea, and great job finding me!! Thanks!

Rough weekend....just want to eat a loaf of bread, a block of cheese and a bottle of wine...oh yeah, for every meal. I'm not eating enough in the day and just want to carb load when I'm home - so easy to go back to bad habits. I'm hoping tomorrow will be a settle down day. Maybe a workout is in order.

Hey Kim - I turned 40 this year and it wasn't bad. Actually that was what led me to join HM. I figured, I've put everything and everyone before me for 40 years, now it's my turn - so I spent the money and put me first. So far 40 is way better than any of the last 5 years (I'd say 10, but I got married and did a marathon in 2001, so that year was pretty good).

Congrats to all the losers!! Get better to everyone who is sick!!! So glad to have you all back with the site again!!!!

LOL BL - the decade I was referring to was not your age - it's the next decade of weight! ie: transitioning from 170's to 160's. I suppose I should have clarified that...my friend & I always refer to our 10lb milestones as 'decades'. It was a case of typing what's in my head & expecting you to understand my lingo haha!

HAGN all!

Haha - that is hilarious HMJunkie!!!
Here's to the next decade for all of us LOL!
