I know what you mean...
 

Diana,

I know EXACTLY what you mean about getting over that hump, it seems the difference between having 51 pounds to lose over 50 or even 49 seems to be a HUGE deal....I felt the SAME WAY...it must be psychological eh??:lol:
Today I finally broke past 185lbs and I am now 184.4-and just like I was saying feels like I have lost 10 pounds instead of one....I am still having a problem with weighing myself every day...but I am working on it...
At one point my 6'1 tall husband and I weighed the same....while I was pregnant I actually weighed MORE and i am only 5'2....I now weigh about 20 lbs less than him-finally, we dont look like a pair of snowmen...........
Hope everyone has a great day,
Leanne

34.5 more pounds to lose....
49.5 more pounds until I am completely satisfied.(well, we'll see)

lol Leanne, we are quite similar, you're jsut a bit ahead of me in the "loser" departement, and I'm a tad jealous. I'm 5'2" as well :) I'm heavier than my husband (5'10") and it is one of my goals to be lighter than him.

Hi Labrador girl, must be Canadian too, eh
welcome here, I hope we can help you.

Baby is screaming again........

Diana,

Leanne

Leanne- You keep up the great work on the walking ;)

Diana- How is it going foodwise?? I know you have your hands full but I have faith in you girl :D You will have a loss this week!!

Well guys I had a chest cold the last few days and well I sort of ate too much...the good news is that I feel much better now and am back in control....the bad news is that I weigh in at WW tomorow, Will report back then!!! :dizzy:

Hi Ladies

Leanne, no it's not snowing yet, soon but not yet. Today it was 22degrees C. Nice, eh.

Well, I have bad news, I gained a half pound :( Next week will be better (isn't that what I said last week?) I have not been exercising and been rather snacky. I didn't deserve to lose.

Christie, I hope you did okay even with the cold. How did the weigh in go?

Well, baby is in want of me :bb: again........

Diana

Half a pound is pretty goos if you say you have been snacky........*L* I have to laugh because I always feel snacky, it is a bad habit I have....*L*
Glad to hear it isnt too cold in ALberta

Hope everyone else had a good weekend...
Next up.......THANKSGIVING...

Leanne

weight today 182.2

Well I had my first weigh in at Curves and ladies I am exstatic!!
I lost overall 3 1/4 inches
and 3 1/2 pounds of body fat only one pound but hey 3 1/2 pounds of body fat is a whole CAN of Crisco!!! :lol:So I went and bought one and put it where I can see it so that I will stay motivated ;) Hope you are all having an awsome day And know I am rooting for each of you! :D:D

Hi Both
you have both done super with weight loss. :cb: :cb:
I ate good today :) I find that hard. I've also done my tummy video two days in a row now. My tummy still looks like I'm 6 months pregnant and I'm tired of it. :(
Keep up the good work

Hey ladies!
Just had to pop in real quick and say good morning :D
I too know how it feels to keep the belly so to speak :dizzy:
If I walk a certain way I look at least 5 months myself ;)
We are off to the orchards today...I let the kids out of school and we are just gonna spend the whole day together with grandma and enjoy each other! I am so ready for this :) Will report back in when we get home!! Have a great day!

Wow Christie, that sounds like a wonderful day, I hope you enjoy it.
Well, I've done 3 days of my tummy videonow and I sure can feel it. Owwww....
I've been keeping myself rather busy lately, and today is another one of those days.....gotta run

Hey Diana!
The orchard was a totaL blast ;)
We bought fresh apples and spagetti squash...and as of tomorow I will begin to cook them up and make homeade applesauce and healthy pies :D Dont worry I wont eat too much!
Hey great job on doing the tummy exercises :bravo: It will make a difference trust me....the working out at Curves is really helping to put my body back into the way I have wanted it too be for years now...I can actually feel muscles under the fat now :lol:
Well I hate to run off so quickly but the dishes are a callin.....a necer ending job :dizzy:

Hi
I'm glad that you had such good time. Soundss like fun. These days i'm helping my brother and his family move. They have alomost as much stuff to move as my Mom did. I'm getting tired of this whole moving business. Oh well, they all do a lot for me and this is the leasst I can do to repay them.
I missed my tummy exercises yesterday, I jsut didn't feel like it. But I got back at it today :spin: It's probably good to give those poor tiny muscles a break :lol:
Well, should put baby to bed, it's nearly midnight.

Hi
Christie and Leanne (haven'y heard from you in a while). How are you both doing? How did the weigh in go? I lost a pound this week, I just need to keep going down :spin: I signed up for WW, it's going to start in my town this winter sometime. Do you think it's beneficial?
Hope you'll do okay on the weekend Christie.

Hey there!
 

Sorry I havent been online the last few days ;)
I was out of town today and yesterday was shopping day and boy was I tired when I got home :lol:

Diana- You will LOVE WW I know I sure do :D I find it easy and alot more fun than fad diets ever were! I did pretty good this weekend....I did eat a little more than I was suposed too but not as bad as it could have been had I not stopped myself, Thanks so much for thinking of me and WAY TO GO on the loss for the week!!! :bravo: Keep up the good work ;)

Well I am off for now....its our alone night LOL and the hubby wants to watch the race :dizzy: hope to hear from you soon!!

Hi Christie,
This weekend is Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada, we had our family supper a few weeks ago as it worked better for us all. But today we are having a few friends over as a thanksgiving/my birthday celebration. I'm making honey garlic ribs, spiced potatos, layered salad, and my own b-day cake (now that's sad :( )Tomorrows my b-day and I'll be 26. That is really scary. I jsut won't tell anyone ;) Hope your "alone" night went well ;) What race did your husband watch?
Anyways I should go,
hope you're having a good weekend

Hey there Diana!!!

Wow! 26 tomorow:hb: :gift: :balloons: :cheers: :gift: :hb:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!


Hope you have an awsome day and Happy Thanksgiving ;)

Oh and the race was a Nascar night race :D
He LOVES Nascar!! :lol:

Christie
thanks for the celebration :spin:
And nascar, that's something I'm not into :lol: I hope you can enjoy it with him though. I got up up at 7am yesterday and did physical work for most of the day, thanks to my DH. He had the day off, so it was a great b-day.
Hope you're having a good start to your week.

Well as for the start to my week...I had the ol nasty stomach flu!
I am well now but oh man was it bad!!! I will have a loss the hard way for sure this week :lol:
Glad you had a great Birthday ;) What did you get??? Dish girl ;)

HI LAdies
 

HI
Sorry I havent written for awhile, we went away for my bday/thanksgiving...
DIana- Happy Belated Bday....I just turned 25...how does 26 feel????;)
HOw are you guys doing with your weight??
I am still smiling, this morning I finally broke 180....I weigh 179.4 lbs......YAY!!!!
Well, I must go pick up my son from preschool, just wanted to say HI and hope you both are well.......

Leanne

CW 179.4
gw 150
my GW 135

Christie
I hope you're over that bug. Good thing you're optimistic, you will be down this week. I didn't get anything for my b-day. I collect books and have recently bought lots on ebay, I justified it by saying that my b-day was coming up :D
Hi Leanne, good to see you post again. Great loss for you. You will not see the 180's again :spin:
I'm nervous about tomorrow's weigh in. :stress:
goodnight

Hi guys
Well I stayed the same this week. I didn't really try, so I didn't deserve to lose. How did you do? Did that stomach bug work, Christie?
Goodnight

Hey Diana!

Yes I am much better thanks ;)
I had a small loss and am just glad to be able to feel normal again :dizzy: :lol:

Way to go on staying the same :D That to me is just as good as a loss in my book :bravo:

Leanne- Way to go on your loss this week :D:D:D:D:D :bravo:
You are really on a roll.............................................. ...

Well ladies I am off to get some housework done ..we are having Jamborie at church tonight and I have lots of stuff to get done before we go, Have a great night!

Hi
Christie I hope you're enjoying the Jamboree, sounds like fun. I hope you do well this weekend.
I'm going away this weekend to our nearest city, it's 5 hours away. I have a appt with a surgeon there (my gallbladder). We decided to go shopping while we are there. So I won't post until tuesday.
Hope you both have a good weekend.

Hi
I'm back. well, i shopped enough, half done my christmas shopping. could have eaten better, but could have done worse too. I've decided to start drinking woter again, I seem to do better when I do.
Hope you're both well.

Hello there!!!
 

Gald to see you had such a good time!! ;)

And way to go on getting the shopping done...I am no where near started :lol: I have got some things in the closet from last years after Christmas sales but nothing for the girls :dizzy:
How did the baby do on the trip?? Oh and way to go on the water drinking, I think it is one of the most important things to do when it comes to weight loss and just feeling better all together.
OOps I just looked at the clock, I have parent teachers meetings tonight and need to get some things together before I go, I am so glad your back and hope to hear from you soon....:wave:

Hi
must be nice to have started Christmas shopping a year early :lol: The baby did great on the trip, he is a very good baby, we are very blessed.
Wow, a PT meeting, that will be a while before I get there, but I'm sure time will fly.
I am so unmotivated lately, it's really quite depressing :(
Should go to bed, it's almost 1am

Hey there!
 

Here I am to motivate you .......... so are ya ready????? :drill: You can do this.....You will do this......not for me not for anyone else....but you will do this for you and your family....You have what it takes and I know you can do it :drill: Just take it one day at a time and know that everyday is new with no mistakes in it :grouphug: I am with ya ;)

yes sargeant :lol: I know that once I have a loss again, it'll motivate me further. But it seems like I'm not even trying, I want it to just happen, but I know it doesn't work that way. :(
how did your meeting go last night? We went and helped with more moving last night, arghhhhh.....
gotta go, am having a friend over today

Thats my girl :lol: ;)

The meetings went well, one is on the A honor roll and the other made the B..so I am continually astounded at how smart and well behaved these girls are and how much of a blessing having them has been in my everyday life :love: I am so glad your son enjoyed the trip too, he is gonna grow up fast MOM so enjoy every
second :yes: And who in the world are you moving now?????:lol:

Hi
God is generous with blessings, I'm glad your girls are doing well in school.
I was moving my Mom, she had to move into a temporary place and now we were moving her to her permanent place. Most of the stuff was already moved and in storage at her new house, so this time around was much easier.
Hope you're having a great day ;)

Oh I see...I was wondering who you were moving :lol:
I am sure your mom apriciates all you have and are doing for her ;) I have weigh in tonight at Tops and man am I nervous, I have been trying SO hard and it seems like I am getting the results I want but scales just make me buggy :dizzy: I hate to have to weigh in infront of others but I know it helps to be accountable :drill: Well I have babbled nervously long enough :lol: Have a great weekend and I will be checking back after weigh in is over :wave:

I lost 1 3/4 tonight :D::D
I really think WW is the best plan EVER I feel satisfied and the weight is definatly coming off ;) Just had to give ya a report, catch ya tomorow!! :wave:

:cb: yeah, Christie :cb:
You are doing so well! :dizzy: :bravo: :hat: :dancer: :high: :balloons: :encore: :cheers:
I'm jealous, but only in a good way ;):rolleyes: :^: I'm not weighing in tomorrow as I don't want to know, Iknow it's a bad thing to do, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I have to get on the bandwagon. I ate well today, even though I went to a potluck :D I haven't exercised in ages, it's too cold to go outside. But I know I have to do something.
I can't believe that you're doing so well, don't get me wrong, it's fabulous:spin: Are you still faithfully going to curves?
tomorrow is a new day

Thanks Diana ;)

You are TOO kind girl :)
And you are going to do just great on your next weigh in , Sometimes we just need a break from the scale to get back into the place we want to be, I didnt go to WW yesterday but still went to Tops and next week I am only going to WW, so sometimes it is good to just chill out and let it happen heck I may not go to WW either :lol: Oh and on the exercise thing, I do go to Curves 4 days a week and if I dont I actually walk around my living room for 30 minutes while I watch a tv show, that way I am still getting my workout and I dont beat myself up ;) You just focus on one day at a time, cause you are going to see good results, I know it :yes: Well I am off to my dads for the day and got to get some shopping done, our church hayride is tonight and they need treats for the kids,,,,,now tonight is definatly a hard one for me... but I will do my best and that is all I can do right!
Have an AWSOME weekend and hug that baby for me ;)

Christie
thanks for the encouragement! I came to this site for support and I'm definitely getting it. I just wish I could be more so in return. Good work on the exercise, keep it up. I got my exercise bike home today, I lent it to my brother 1.5 years ago and I think he used it once :lol: May God bless him, he had good intentions. He wanted to work on a bum knee. I used to ride it for a half hour per day, I wonder if the baby will let me do that again. Monday I'm moving into town with my Mom, my DH is going to school for 8 weeks (hopefully coming home on weekends :crossed: ) She has a bike and a treadmill. There are also walking trails there and lots of friends for me to go visit. I will just bundle up baby and put him in the stroller, I bought a huge one that should push through snow (once it snows). I think the WW program is starting in Nov, at least that;s the rumour. Theu had to get 40 people paid up before they would start. That souns like a lot to me, but they got it already ;) I'm looking forward to it. Are you following the points program? Is it hard?
well, it's 11:24, I should go to bed. Thanks for the hug for baby, I'm holding him now and he's sleeping. :bb:

Good morning :D

Yes I follow the points system, I am good with numbers so it is like a checkbook but only with food :lol::dizzy: Did you say work was paying for your membership??

Where is your DH going to school??? For 8 weeks??? I am sure you will have fun with your mom though...visiting old friends is always as plus :D Does she have a computer????? :lol:

Well now that I have asked all kinds of questions ;) I better go get dressed and get my youngest to her girl scout leader, they are having a field trip to the museum.... Have a great day :wave:

Hi
do you have to do a lot of food measuring?
yes my work is paying for WW...isn't that nice!
My DH is going to school in a town 4 hours drive from here, it's an apprenticeship program os that's why it is 8 weeks. I'm going to find it hard to deal with baby without him :(
Yes my mom has a computer. She's the only senior I know who's online :lol: She spends more time online than I do.
WEll, Ishould spend time with DH as he's leaving tomorrow.

Oops, forgot to tel you taht yesterday I had to get on the scale and was the same AGAIN. Better than a gain, but I'm getting a little tired of it.

Enjoy your hubby.. I know it will be hard, But dont think of that right now just enjoy ;)...I do do alot of measuring, but I make it fun and It sure does keep these pesky pounds at bay :lol:
I also buy the WW dinners when I need a break and dont have time to cook for myself.

Oh and dont make lite of staying the same weight...It is a great thing...especially with the stress of your DH leaving :D

Well I guess I will go for now, Hope to hear from you soon....and THANK THE LORD your mom is online :lol:
