    p.s when I get to 150 I am thinking of joining weight watchers, this way I will never let my weight get out of hand again as I will have a weekly weigh in to keep me on track, do you think that is a good idea???
  • Hey stranger

    Looks like you are doing just awsome on your losing girl
    You go girl!!!! As far as the computer being out...I totally understand! Mine has went out serveral times since I got one and it sure is a bumber not to be able to talk to my buddies online. As far as WW is concerned....It is a really good program, a little pricey but it works, You could do like me, I went for 6 weeks and got all the info and now I do it a home and weigh in at Tops, for 20$ a year and 3$ a month it gives me the weekly weigh ins dirt cheap Well I hate to run but I have to get these girls ready for school Glad to have you back!!!!

    Diana- How are ya???? Missing you girl
  • HI LAdies
    Well, it is halloween today...
    I bought all suckers to give out so I wont be tempted to eat any....Hope you guys are able to resist the temptation....mmmm, I have such a weakness for chocolate....mmmm....I keep telling myself, I will allow myself to eat chocolate at Christmas, so all the hard work will be worth it........
    Hope you guys are doing well....

  • Hi
    I'm back home for the weekend. Sorry, my Mom is waiting for the electrician to put a phone jack in her office where the computer is. He was supposed to come on Wednesday and we're still waiting...grrrr... I was the same again this week....grrr....It was all the chocolate halloween candy. I did exercise 4 times this week. I'll be back at my Mom's on Sunday night.
    Christie, how was the weigh in this week Leanne, what was your starting weight Just curious.
    Have a good weekend.
  • Ladies
    I hope you guys are having a wonderful weekend...

    Diana, to answer your question, I was 225 a few days before I had my son, and when I got home from the hospital on August1st I was 215.....
    I am 173.6 again today but TOM is evil to me this month....*L*

    Hope you both survived halloween....

  • Hey guys!!!
    Long time no see
    Sorry it has been so long....I have been in such a strange mood ....seems like I want to just stay home and relax and not run so much, I think it is a perfect day when I take the kids to school and just work out and come back home and just be by myself...I personally think it has alot to do with my friends and family, It has been shown over and over that they are using me for babysitting and only call me when they need something done for them and I am just sick and tired of it, My hubby says no to them but when they ask me I have trouble turning anyone down, I love them all so much but I just want to be apriciated. Guys it has really affected me My eating and everything!
    I dont know what I would do if you werent here, I know your motives for helping me and vice versa are totally pure and it means the world to me Well sorry I rambled so much....But it sure feels good to get that off of me Keep up the great work ladies and know I rooting for you !!
  • Leanne, have fun at your in-laws. Is this going to need well wishing? Or do you get along well? Try the gym, it might be fun
    Christie
    I am sad for you. Feeling used is not a good thing at all. I'm always worried that I use my sister-in-law, but I don't think I do. She hasn't babysat in probaby a month and I try to do things for her too. Just learn to say no. Say that you've had too much on your plate lately, and that you're busy (you're busy trying to get your stress level under control ) Do you have call display? Don't answer some of those calls if the above doesn't work, it's a good resort Don't let them take your weight loss away from you too You can do it
  • Hey Diana,

    Thanks for the tips
    I had a phonecall tonight wanting a babysitter (as usual)
    BUT I turned it down It felt good toooo
    AND I didnt overeat tonight either, I cried a little but got over it quick...I wish they just called to talk or check on me but that is never the case I am sorry to say....But as you said I cannot let them stop my weightloss efforts and I cant let everyone run me over either Oh and I am sure you arent a user.....Your not the type Well I hope you enjoy the WW meeting..Keep me posted girl!!
  • Good for you that you turned it down. Maybe they'll get the hint. The meeting went well, I ate my points worth today. Tell me, what sweet snacks are thre that are low point? Holding baby must go....
  • Hi

  • HI Ladies

  • Great Day!
    HI ladies

    Wow, I am down to 168 today.YAY!!! I think my weight was holding on for awhile there because I was working out really hard, and building muscle as well as burning fat- thus, I wasnt noticing a big change in the scale...so, as an experiment I stopped the HEAVY exercise and have opted for something lighter...just to get the weight off....This diet doesnt require you to workout to lose weight and I hate that...I really like working out....So, I am going to continue like this until I hit 150 then I will be getting a "personal trianer/running coach" to help me seriously train for my 10km run next year....I am really excited, that is what my hubby is getting me for Christmas and I think it is PERFECT. (it is snowing ut today I think that is why I am thinking of christmas so much...)
    Sorry to talk about myself so much...
    Hope you guys are doing well and sticking to your programs....
    Have a great Day!
