Scale Addict Anonymous #4
Well, it seems we got lost amidst the crash last nite! So here I am again setting our little group up. Never Fear Splash is Here!
Tulip, Grasshopper, Butterfly, Leanne!! Where are you gals??? Hope to see you here soon! Michele |
Back again...
Hey Hotsplashes,
here I am!....Just got back from good ol Niagara...to lovely Owen Sound at the in-laws still, where we are snowed in........:dz: :rolleyes: Hopefully, we will get to go home tomorrow though... Well, I am at 146lbs right now and LOVING IT.....I have changed my diet from the strict awfulness of eating the SAME thing every day, to the 1200 calorie diet, where I will be able to eat somewhat normal now...YAY!! Happy Wednesday to all... Leanne SW 215 CW 146.0 GW 125-130 |
Good ole splash!!!
Hi all...........I found you at last!! I've just left a message on SA #3 then i found #4!! phew i do hate to be left out!!!!!!!:lol: Well it's 9th Jan and my business is all but down the pan! My lease is not being re-newed which puts 85 families without childcare!! :( The stress is really starting to show as i'm too stressed to eat during the day, as the phone is constantly ringing and meetings are all running into each other. then at night i'm eating and drinking anything and everything but my good old scales are still say 125lbs!!! which is something to smile about in all this mess :^: :D congrats to leanne 146lb.......go girl, glad your loving it!!!! I'm dead jealous of you bieng snowed in, we'd love it here if that happend...it's been raining a lot lately:( :( We don't get much snow..and if we do it's not much! That's it for today......got a big meeting at 3:30pm with 2 of the school govenors, hope they change their minds!- it a small a ray of light at the end of a very long dark tunnel...keep your :crossed: for me! Tulip ~x~ |
I'm so sorry to hear about your lease not being renewed Tulip...What are you going to do? I hope all works out.
Leanne...we got nasty snow here too....it sucks..and you were down here again and didn't call me!LMAO I think I'm coming down with a cold again...or just getting rundown...it sucks...but I did lose one pound this week..not the 3 I was hoping for butttttttt.... See everyone tomorrow! |
FINALLY HOME
Well, we are FINALLY home from our Xmas vacation....seemed one thing after another kept happening to make us stay....finally, I told my hubby I HAD to leave (his parents house) or I was going to walk...:lol: I love my family and my in-laws but there comes a point when you feel you HAVE TO LEAVE, and I had reached that point a few weeks ago. Aaaaaaah, I slept in my own bed last night and it felt GRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!!
Yes, I am still at 146, but tomorrow I start my weight training as now I am concentrating on sculpting my body and toning and such, finally all my nice, pre-pregnancy clothes FIT.....:D Okay, enough from me....Happy Weekend to all! Leanne SW 215 CW 146:D |
It's amazing how wonderful it is to sleep in your own bed. Nothing like your own blankies and pillows to create a snuggy warm haven.
The reason I started Thread 4 was because when the crash happened, theylost most of our stuff and then put our thread up in the wrong heading....go figger. I think it'll be awhile before they get this back up and running properly again. Has anyone noticed they are using the old format again? Well I'm off to work...take care and have a great weekend everyone! |
Yeah i noticed it was the old format....must of played havoc with everything...! I too think it will take a while to get back to what it was....but never mind we're still here...lets hope we get the others back soon!
As for work...i have no idea what to do...we are think of leaving playwork all together...our children don't use our clubs anymore as they are either too old or have been going for too long...so maybe food realated!!! I know that sounds bad but food is our hobby...organic, eaten in season, non processed whole food! there is nothing like it in our town and we may have found our gap in the market... there is one small takeout shop at the bottom of the town which is looking at expanding..we may go join him!!!! but don't worry about the weight piling on as I may have lost over a stone (14lbs+) in weight since August, my business partner has lost 3+ stone (42+ lbs) over the past year and we love being slim!! So there is no way we will go back to piling on the pounds!!! Leanne - sleeping in your own bed it the best feeling in the world, i hate sleeping over at peoples houses...thinking i'm getting too old for it!!! lol And i can fully sympathise with the in-law thing...we stopped over with mine on christmas day / boxing day and that was enough, they are lovely but not all together in the same house for two days!!!! Paul is one of 5 boys and i definatly married the best one...the rest annoy me so much after a couple of hours!!! LOL!! Congrats to splashes for her one pound loss and a big well done to leanne for getting back into those pre-pregnacy clothes. Enjoy the rest of the weekend...see you on Monday if i can't pop in tomorrow! |
oh splashes...i noticed the old format coz the picture of ozzy has gone! I'll have to post a recent one of him so you can see how much he has grown!!
PS - he's still peeing on the carpet!! grrrrrrr! |
Hi everyone! I didn't realize the site was back up and time has gotten away from me. Just when I need you guys the most - I forget to tell you I need you. Oh well.
Vacation was great - food was amazing and I just can't seem to get a grip on not eating it. Didn't do too bad. I gained about 3 pounds. But since I got back I've packed on anothoer 2. It's not the end of the world but I've got to get this food thing under control. It seems I can't be just a little bad - I'm ALLLLLLL or nothing. TF I would love it if we had an organic shop here - I keep imagining a resturant where they understand how to cook a healthy meal. No chemicals and nothing hidden. We thought we'd found one - took a group there and half the group got food poisoning. We're scared to go back. (I didn't get sick, but hearing from the ones that did - it was bad!!) We are somewhat snowed in. We got 3 inches of snow and the Raleigh, NC area had over 800 accidents in one morning! We just don't have the road equipment to handle ice or snow - and we get it so rarely that it doesn't make sense to buy it. We usually borrow from the mountain areas. This storm was small enough though that roads were good today. It's really pretty. Very cold though! I know you guys see much colder - but it was only 22 today and that's COLD for us! Well better get back to studying. I have plans to start back very strictly Monday morning - including a trip to the gym. Congratulations to all who lost!!!!! Enjoy your weekend! |
SUNDAY SUNDAY
Yes, I am so happy to be home.....I am back to my diet as I still have about 20 or so pounds left to get rid of....Monday, tomorrow I start training for my 10km run in May- FULL time...SO this means my workouts will be longer and more intense so I should see the results I want soon...
LG- I too am ALL or nothing, when I go off my diet I really go off, and when I am on nothing can stop me.... Today I weighed in at 145.6 - I love it! Hope everypne is having a wonderful weekend.:D Leanne SW 215 (august 1/03) CW 145.6 :D :D :D GW 125-130 May 2004- Run 10km race and FINISH |
Ahhhhhhhh organics and such....I love it...my brother is into Macrobiotics big time....I was too before I fell off the wagon...and now I'm trying to just eat normally for my condition...and I too am an All or Nothing kind of Binger...and I always feel sick the next morning.
We are still in the grips of a minor winter storm...more wind now than anything else...it's warmer too...-1 as opposed to -29. 10k run...I'll be just glad to get my butt back into the gym on Monday...my body has finally succumbed to the Plateau Theory...it's gotten used to all the work I do at the farm..so now I have to do forced physical stuff at a gym to get my body losing fat again...**SIGHHHH** Ohhh what we do to stay healthy... See everyone on Monday |
10km run?? I'll be glad if i get my butt of the sofa in this weather...I'm shivering here - it's 'bout 7 degrees!!! got the heating wacked up high!!!
I'm not a all or nothing eater...but i do eat a little of what i shoulnd't way too often which really mounts up over the course of a day / weekend!!! Glad to see you back LG...we missed you! Didn't weigh myself this morning, felt too "fat" thought best to leave it until monday or tuesday !!! lol Enjoy the rest of the weekend...see you guys on monday! |
HI ladies
Oh, is it ever cold and snowy here too... I am very lucky though, we live on the army base here and they have an amazing fitness facility here....their indoor running track is awesome....so, that is where I will be spending some quality time in the next few months.... Happy Sunday to all Leanne CW 145.6 :lol: :lol: :lol: |
well, my injuries are slowing me down somewhat..the ankle is better but the wrist and arm hurt. But will be taping that up and going back to work...I NEED to get into the gym...even jut to get onto a treadmill or something....And of course I am going thru that "no selfcontrol" binge again...3 HUGE bowls of Sugar Pops last nite...how bad am I? It's hard when you don't get any support at home or from friends. I'm SOOOOO glad I've got you guys!
I'll be on later tonite! |
Hi gilrs!
Sorry i haven't been around much...work is so stressful!!! Its having a positive effect on my WOE though....i'm back to my Christmas eve weight!! woohoo!!! Off to a careers fayre tomorrow...then have a plan to go to the local business link for ideas.....i'm starting to think about my future now the club is definanatly closing! Splashes....3 BOWLS?!!!!!!!....YOU ARE TOO NAUGHTY....NEXT TIME JUST HAVE ONE!! OK?? AND YES I AM SHOUTING AT YOU!!! JUST REMEMBER THIS TELLING OFF NEXT TIME YOU REACH FOR A 2ND OR THIRD BOWL!!! BAD GIRL! LOL! |
Good morning?
H-e-l-l-o???? Where have you all gone??? Me and my scales need some company.... I put on two pounds overnight??? WHY??? I think like the tooth fairy who visits during the night, i have a calorie fairy who creeps up on me while i sleep and injects me with calories, so i wake up fatter than when i went to bed!!! Life is sooooo unfair! |
Hey Ladies!
Hi everyone...
Today I did my leg weight workout and they are STILL shaking, I am going to be sore tomorrow...I have been a busy bee this morning, went to the gym and have run around the house like a chicken with its' head cut off trying to get everything done before I pick my son up from school...The baby is so good, just plays while I run around... :D My weight was 144.2 today....only down .2lbs in the past 2 days but I am chalking it up to me starting weight training and doing slightly less cardio...Oh well, we'll see eh? Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday! Leanne |
Hi I'm here!! I miss the notices that someone has posted. Any ideas on when we'll get those back??
TF I think I have a calorie fairy too. I wake up the exact same weight I went to bed with. But then about 30 minutes later I'll weigh myself (yes, twice in the first hour I'm awake - am I on the right board or what!) and it's dropped by a pound or so. Both times are after I go potty too. I don't get it! An hour later I'll be back up by 1/2 pound or so. Very strange. I've been eating pretty well this week....except today I caved in and had the new subway low Carb wrapper. Tasted great, then I realized the darn thing has 24 carbs.... I didn't eat the wendy's value meal I was craving. :) Well, as usual this is a book. sorry!! Good to be back! |

I thought i was bad jumping on before & after going to the loo!! :smug: :dizzy: Well i'm trying to eat well, very very stressed so think that's helping me lose / maintain! Gald to see you back LG! :) Leanne - you sound super fit...you'll be reaching your GOal wieght before you know it!! - you make me feel positivily lazy! :^: I wonder where Splashes has got to??? Hope she ok... come back to us soon Splashes!! |
Hi guys!!
Yes TF I'm on the write board. Last night I stopped at Hardee's on the way home and got their new LC cheese burger. I was really craving junk food and I decided this was probably the better way to go. (in case you don't know, it's a hamburger wrapped in lettuce instead of a white bun). It was everything I've been craving rolled into one late dinner!!! I came home and my BF smelled the hamburger on me! We are on South beach together - he was so upset! I finally told him where I got it - before he threw in the towel and came crashing off the diet himself. A little later he asked me if I'd go brush my teeth - the smell of the hamburger was making him hungry. Is that sad or what!!! today the scales have not moved. that's a very good thing - considering I ate dinner at 10:30 last night and also had coffee yesterday. Good indeed! Leanne - you're making me feel pretty lazy too. I'm going to try to change that to "inspired" by next monday! HS how are those injuries doing?? Need a massage?? :) |
Splashes?????
Quote:
Although she did say she's was desperate to hit the gym so maybe she's still there?? :strong: :tread: :yikes: I promise to :comp: sit at my puter and zip it next time :ziplip: :lol: :lol: LG - i wish we could get LC fast food in England, if you ask for a burger without the bun, they look at you as if your MAD!!! I tend to get a burger, take it home and eat it off a plate without the bun. Not as convienient but better than eating the bread! - bet it was a shame to have to brush the flavour of the burger away, but at least it stop him falling off the wagon!! Oh and one last thing......don't you got to the gym as well, it will really make me feel like i'll hve to do something!!! stay on the couch with me, we can watch the rest of them wack themselves out!! :rofl: |
TF - you're too funny! I'm still laughing!! I hope HS is back soon - I hope she's not hobbling around on crutches!
Yeah, suddenly there is a rush for fast food places to make LC food. Most of it's not really LC yet, but they're in the mindset. Some even have "atkins friendly" menus. Pretty cool. Well, I have to do a massage for shool now. Talk with you guys soon - hope everyone is back, soon. Leanne, I don't think tomorrow is my day. I have to bond with TF for a little longer then maybe she and I will hit the gym together someday soon :) |
Hi!
Still jumping on the scales each morning, haven't gained or lost....life running away with me, where's splashes????? hope everyone is doing ok...no news is good news...right???? |
Hi there!
Hi everyone! I, too, posted on the Addict's #3 thread and was invited to come on over and jump in, so here I am jumping!
It sounds like you guys are all pretty regular posters and pretty neat people, so I think I'll enjoy joining in! As I posted in the previous thread, I think my scale and my tape measure or conspiring together against me. I keep trying to only use them on Mondays, but somehow, I'm tricked into using them every other day or so. But not this week! I've not looked at the scale since Monday morning! Thanks for letting me join in! |
Welcome aboard! :) There are a number of us but a couple are MIA right now. Hope everyone is doing okay!!
Tomorrow I have my first visit with a naturapathic, Applied Kinesiologist. It will last 4 hours long and I'm feeling really mixed about it. I know my diet will be absurd when I leave there!! But I also know that he's helped a ton of people. The pain that I've been keeping at bay is growing now and I am beginning to believe the doctor that told me I have fybromayalgia. Still don't want to believe it but I'm almost backed into a corner now. This doctor is doing wonderful things with his chronic pain patients. This is also part of why I haven't been worrying about what I eat since vacation. I know this was coming. All weekend I ate what ever the heck I wanted to. I knew that after tomorrow I'd be stuck with organic egg whites and paprika. :) I'm hoping it won't be that bad :) At any rate - I hope everyone is feeling better and comes back soon!!! TF I didn't make it to the gym this week either - are we still couch buddies?? :) :) |
Howdie folks and welcome Peach Linen! The more the merrier...
I'm still here folks...puter and internet crashed at the same time..am on dialup right now and a borrowed laptop...it suxxxxxxx!!!! I'm spoiled having had cablenet for so long...a few more days...... Haven't gotten on the scales lately but have been eating quite well. But it's ToM again and feel very bloated and fat...will be on again tomorrow! |
Quote:
Also...It was raining when i got back from school so didn't even bother to take Ozzy for a walk...he doesn't like going when its raining!! :smug: [so not stricktly my fault then?!!) :smug: :smug: Glad to see you back Splashes...we were getting worried about you! Well i was, thought you'd run off after my telling off!!! LOL :D :D :D I hate dial up too - we are just so spolit these days!!! Hi Peaches...i've just left a message for you on SA #3 to invite you over here...and i come in for my daily chat and WOW there you were!!!! Welcome, hope you like it here, were a mad friendly bunch, addicted to our scales, our puters and all foodies!!! Looking forward to getting to know you! What's happened to Leanne??? She's not still running around that track is she??? someone better call her back in to leave us a message!! lol :lol: Eating has been a bit up and down these past few days, ToM is due [me and you are like sisters splashes!!!] so feeling a bit bloated and blasted scales says i'm 2lb up!!! grrrrrrrrrrr!!! I hate those darn scales!! :mad: :mad: See you all tomorrow! |
Hi Ladies
I am still here...and YES, the scale monster is STILL biting me... I am hanging around 143.0.... I have been weight training and RUNNING faithfully now, and I am really starting to see my body change its'form! Tuesday I went to the gym and thought I would run 3km...well, 3 turned into 4, into 5km and finally 6km I stopped....SO I did 6km in 50 minutes...which is a start, my goal is to get to 10km and get FASTER, but you have to start somewhere right?? SO I hope everyone is doing well and not being ATTACKED by that evil little scale monster.... Leanne SW215 CW 143 :) |
Hi guys!! Good to see you guys!!!! I have dial up at home....I avoid using that computer like death!!! We feel your pain HS.
Leanne - good for you running so far!!! You're right, you have to start somewhere, which is exactly my problem - I haven't started. :) Had my doctor visit today. Went really well. Diet isn't too bad. He did take away all dairy - completely. No more yogurt or cheese. What do I eat now?? That was my world....oh, that and olives. They were my other world! Oh well, I can now have brown rice so that's exciting. VERY EXCITING! Better go for now. I'm a bit of a space cadet today so this won't make sense if I keep going. :) Good to see everyone on the board!!! |
I DID IT!! I did it!
Ladies,
I am going to toot my own horn right now! After having a great run 2 days ago, I knew today I could run NO LESS than 6km... SO, 6km turned into 7km, then 8km, then 9km and FINALLY 10KM... I DID IT< I DID IT, I DID IT!!! 92 minutes of STRAIGHT RUNNING.... I still cannot believe I did it! NOW, I can honestly say that lovely saying "if I can do it....." WOW, Great day for me today!(we'll see how the muscles are tomorrow) Hope everyone is doing well today too... Leanne |
YAYYYYY for LEeanne!!!! Now if I could only get up of my flabby Arse and even walk that far. Well, Leanne...I know you hanging at the 143 mark but remember your own words! You can see your body shaping ...you are gaining muscles! When I was really hardcore into lifting...I weighed 145 and was in a size 5/6 at 5'10...so don't worry about the lbs...yah listen to the advice from me! the biggest pound hound in the world!lol Now I will have to emulate you and get my butt to the gym and on the treadmill!
Poor Grassie...no dairy? I can't fathom that..especially since I am going thru a milk craving phase again...ick...so I'm trying to fill up on water instead. Are you lactose intolerant? Are you still following the SB thing? It was you who was on it right? Tulip, you make me laff...put on the sweats and the shoes...then too tired after tieing them up!lol..too funny...as for Ozzy not wanting to go out to pee in the rain...my dobie has perfected the Porch Pee Technique. She goes outside on the porch, puts her hindend over enuff to stick out over the grass, but not get wet mind you, and pees off the edge of the porch..then bangs on the door to come back in! Maybe she can teach Ozzy!lol Have a great Friday ladies! I'll see everyone tomorrow nite! |
Okay, you're making it really hard for me and TF to stay on the couch you know. :) just kidding! Congratulations!!!!!! That's really great! You'll be ready for that 10K with even better time that you thought at this rate!!! I'm really impressed.
Feel like crap today. Like I got run over by a bunch of babies, with baby hammers! I have bruises all over and my right should is in terrible pain. Had some deep massage done last night - I think I would be feeling worse without it. Ate my new breakfast this morning. It was yummy. Now I'm doing my best to figure out what to put on my salad. Can't have dairy or viniger. He's warned that as I detox I will probably gain water weight. That's just what I was hoping for...more weight. :mad: I hope you guys have a great weekend!! I'll check in later tonight! It looks like a beautiful day today!! HS glad you're back! |
Hiya, just a quickie....
Cold but clear day here...all the kids had a sleepover last night, so me and hubby had the place to ourselves..had a treat by WALKING to the pub and having a chinese takeaway...i know it was bad but tasted sooooo good. As for the walking!!!!! ha beat you off the couch LG, I need to rest and regain my strenght today...don't want to over do it!! LOL Have a good weekend everyone! |
Morning everyone! Hope you are all having a nice weekend...it's bitterly cold here and we are STILL getting snow..only a millimeter last nite..which is good...now it's sunny.
LG:: There are alot of nice flavored oils out there that taste great on salads! And see if you can use sesame oil...it's got a great taste all on its own. Hope you get over the babyhammer beating! I need a massage in the worst way...and a chiro adjustment... Tulip! Walkign to the Pub is good...and Chinese is only bad if you've had the deepfried stuff like wontons or chicken balls....but if you've had the good stuff with lean meat and lotsa veggies then you did good! Enjoy your R&R today! LEANNNNEEEE are you covered in snow up there in Pet???lol |
Happy Sunday to all!
Wow, my scale really liked me this morning.....141.8....yeah! ;) Hotsplashes, yes it is cold cold cold here...BUT, I see that you guys are supposed to get a heck of a snow storm today, hopefully you dont have to go anywhere today!... Well, I better get ready to go to the gym....Have a great day everyone Leanne SW 215 (august 1/03) CW 141.8 GW 125-135 :cool: |
I know you guys will have no sympathy for this but we have 2 inches of snow and are expected to get between 4 and 6 more. The problem is that then it's going to turn to ice. The last time we had ice everyone lost power. My house lost it for over a week!! My fish froze to death in the tank right beside the fire place!! We just aren't built for weather like this. It doesn't make sense for us to spend money on snow plows and stuff like that - we just don't get this kind of weather very often.
I know - 2 inches is NOTHING :) Not here! There are kids already trying to build snow men all over then neighborhood. I'm trying to round up fire wood. Everyone is sold out. The joke here is that after a snow all the southerners make french toast. A northerner decided this after realizing we all buy Eggs, Bread and milk. :) :) Haven't been on the scales lately. Doc says I'll put on water weight trying to detox. Thanks for the oil advice HS. I was planning a trip to the Whole Foods store today - then snow. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow afternoon. TF I still didn't make it to my gym. I did do 30 minutes of pillates. does that count??? I didn't wear the appropriate work out clothes though - so probably not. :lol: :lol: Hope everyone is having a good weekend!!! |
[QUOTE=little grasshopper] TF I still didn't make it to my gym. I did do 30 minutes of pillates. does that count??? I didn't wear the appropriate work out clothes though - so probably not. :lol: :lol:QUOTE]
LG if you'd have put the appropriate clothes on you'd have burnt a few more calories up!!!! :lol: :lol: As for the snow...my kids would love 2" of snow...we have been warned of bad weather for the following week, the school have been put on snow alert but it doesn't last long mostly on the hills around the cotswold areas. Leanne - well done on your loss..keep up the good work!! going to the gym even in the bad weather...I'm impressed! Splashes I was good walking to the pub wasn't i? but the chinese...I've got to confess, we had wontons & sesame prawn toasts which was bad :( - but then we did have some good stuff as well with lean meat and lots of veggies so then I did good! A bit of a mixed weekend then!! lol :s: It's that ToM now and today (Sun) i've been very bad...i'm seriously depressed as i've only got one more week at work, and no alternative on the horizon, i'm getting on everyone's nerves here and have eaten everything that's moved today!!! toast, cake and custard, cauliflower cheese, crossiants, crisps....oh i have been so bad...i've got to try really hard tomorrow otherwise i'll be piling the pounds back on!! :mad: I'm dead mad with my self! Oh well - hope your having a better weekend than i am...sorry to ramble on but i do feel a bit better for getting it off my chest!! thanks :o :?: |
How come there is 37 replies on this board but 167 views??????
Why? :?: :?: :?: If there is that many people coming in to read the messages, why oh why don't they join in??? :?: Come on folks I know it's Scales Addicts ANONYMOUS but don't be shy :o come and join us!!! :lol: :lol: |
Leanne - I forgot to congratulate you! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You must be sooo proud of yourself!!! We're certainly proud of you!!
TF - I'm so sorry for your job situation. You have every single right to be depressed and upset. But you are worth so much more than eating crappy food! We all are!!!! Eating bad food will only make you feel bad about yourself in the end. We're all going to cheat, but stay on the wagon!!! And stay on this board! You will find an alternative!! And you WILL hit your goals! Enjoy your last week!!! Oh, Next time I'll make sure I wear the right clothes! :) Still raining - freezing rain. No school tomorrow. No work either. :) Yippie!!!! |
Tulip, stay on the bandwagon like Grassie said...you'll feel better both physically and mentally. I am so sorry to hear this is your last week. But I always believe that when one door closes, another opens. Maybe it was meant to happen, and for you to move on to something bigger and better. Of course I am the eternal optimist....keep up a good face for the kids at least.
Grassie you are lucky, no school and no work. I wish I could say the same thing...but unfortunately someone's gotta feed the ponies! Leanne, congrats on the poundage loss! I too stepped on the dreaded scales today and found I am down two pounds. Still 2lbs away from what I was before the holidays tho! Have a great week everyone! |
