Wow, Debbie! You have done really great with 79 lbs lost! I joined WW on 4/20/06 and I don't know a soul in the place, but I love it! I'm exercising and eating better than I have my entire life. I do feel like it is a plan I can live with.
I hope you like WW as much as I do! I think you will. and the support from this forum is just phenomenal! It makes me hopeful every day! Take care and good luck! |
I think I had a major victory yesterday. I went to Beavercreek to speak at a chapter meeting there and on the way home I was going to stop at Ritter's Custard Stand and get some Custard (it's so YUMMY!), but I didn't. I went to the mall and bought 3 bathing suits for my cruise (and bought them a little snug so I have to lose weight to feel comfortable in them--I thought I could try them on every couple of weeks until Cruise Date 9/9/06).
I did have a Klondike bar when I got home. It had 190 calories in it, but I'm sure it was much less than the custard I would have bought! Here's the food for yesterday: B=3/4 cup Rice Crispies Ceral with milk, water L= 1/2 cheese and ham sandwich with mustard (I skipped the mayo) on oat bread, 1 single serving of Green Onion potato chips, 1 CC cookie, water D= 6 inch veggie sub with mayo from Steak Escape. Half of the small fry order, water, 1 Klondike bar. Exercise=None. I'll be working out tonight with my workout partner. How's everyone doing? I'm feeling empty in my stomach. Not hungry, just not full...it feels sort of nice. |
I rock
I gave an Avon business presentation at 8am this morning! It went very well. Got some major leads.Lots of great feedback!! I am way pooped tho. Iwas up til 12:45 am prepping and then awake at 5:45 to get the house and kids lready. I had a sitter come for 7:30 and she has to get DS on the bus and be here for the other arrivals. It went fine. I am planning a quiet rest of the day. Yesterday was huge. I have a book to read outside while kids play. No plans tonight! Last night dring home form the city at 10:30 pm I passed 6 Tim Hortons and I did NOT stop and get a cheddar herb bagel with spinach feta cream cheese. I was a bit hungry but it was more a reward mentality. It was a hard won victory too. I came home and had an apple and 1 oz of cheese. sigh............it is soooooo hard. |
Hey friends,
I dropped 1 lb!!... I'll take it... I've been stuck a long time now. My current weight is now 219.5 that is a new milestone. I've been doing fair. This week is VERY stressful at work. I just need to take a deep breath and hold on. :crazy: Home is good..for the first time in a very looong time. Everyone is employeed. Dh and I are always employeed, but with the ds's it can be a real challenge. I love the men in my life but it can be rocky sometimes. Holly: Yes my friend, YOU ROCK...:dance: Susie: A cruise sounds so wonderful... Good job on the food. Exquistern: It has been a very long race. I still have along way to go but I feel much better. |
Holly: :hug:
Debbie: yay for the loss!! :carrot: Everyone else: Where are you??? I've been OP since saturday :yes: not doing so good on the exercise :no: I know I'm not going to exercise today either. Made plans with family, leaving as soon as I get back from work and probably coming home at 9:00 pm, straight to bed... sigh.. Will need to work harder on thurs + friday. Not excited about my weight-in on saturday. And I'm getting my period so.. I don't expect a loss. :( |
Hello ladies!! Sorri I have been MIA, but thing have just been too much, I did not completely give up, I was still reading all you wonderful posts! I am hoping things get better here, the dr switched my thyrois drungs, and he is going to monitor my weight loss, so hopefully that will make me stay on track. Have a wonderfull day!!!
|
Hello All,
Having my friend to report everyday is helping me to keep on track. Yesterday he gave me a task that before I went to eat anything that wasn't at a meal time or portioned controled, I had to say--outloud "I will lose weight". It helped to keep my focus. I stayed on plan. Debbie: You are in a new set of numbers!!! :carrot: Good for you! Holly: Congrats on the Avon presentation. You mentioned it was hard to not eat when we shouldn't. It is hard, but it's hard to be overweight too. Use that to mediate on and change your mind set. Jiggly: You stayed on plan yesterday and I know you can do it again today. UPS: I take thyroid meds too. I think having your doctor monitor your weight loss will help a lot. Ok..I've got to get back to work. Susie |
Hello all -
I'm having a lovely lunch a baked chicken breast stuffed with raisins, apples and walnuts and broccoli. I found these chicken breasts at Aldi of all places, stuffed and ready to bake - and 5g fat each. They are marvelous! I haven't been to the gym regularly. I've been drinking more liquids. Have not been journaling food. Trying to get back there. It is SO terribly hard to fully get back on the wagon. I feel good in spirit though...I am feeling comfortable in my clothes and having decent days emotionally. I have been sleeping quite a bit though, which is really weird. I have been asleep by 9p or 9.30p and not being able to get up at 4.30am to go to the gym. It's strange, I'm always so tired when I get home from work lately. Could it be the change of the seasons - it's getting warmer and they are working on our AC here at work so it's been so humid and warm in here... I need to make it through this summer - and make it a successful summer. |
Girlie~I know it is the change of seasons. Also there is alot of pollen about, and I have been told that it is effecting people who don't have any allergies. I know I would sleep all day if my kiddies would let me.
I do feel a renewed sense of pride, that I can do this, and I know that the thought of showing someone in person what I eat will keep me focused. I have known this DR since I was 4yrs old (mom used to work with him) and I know I will see the dissapointment in his face if I mess up. Hopefully if all goes well I will be going shopping tomorrow. so here is to new shorts and capries and maybe new bras. I hope I can find something I like that fits well. Have to run! |
Hello,
I am happy to report a 1.80 lb loss at my TOPS weigh-in last week and I'm excited and ready to do it again. I'm glad it's Friday. I'm looking forward to a little down time this weekend. I am busy but not crazy busy as I have been the past 2 weekends. I need to get to work but wanted to get here this morning. I'll post personals over the weekend. Susie |
Have a great weekend!!!
|
I'm up again, +1.5 lbs. Guess I'll never make it before MD. Went wayyy over points on Friday, 46 pts!!! 20+!! exercised 3/7 days. Gotta get back on plan :(
|
Hi everyone. I am back to rededicate myself to the race! I fell off for a while, but I am trying to get back on the wagon. Good luck to all my fellow racers! :)
|
Hello Everyone!
I hope you all had a marvelous Mother's Day. My brother and I took my mom and dad to Red Lobster. I did really great. Blackened chicken, broccoli, salad and a baked potato. I had a rude awakening at the doctor last Friday. Put me on a beta blocker on top of my blood pressure pill, to get it under control. I have done great with diet since. Plus I have to go for a colonoscopy. Tomorrow is my appt for with the doc to schedule that. My mom's breast cancer which she has been in remission for 14 years has come back in her lungs. We are waiting till this Wedensday to talk with her about it. Didn't want to ruin her mother's day. So prayers would be great! Going to WW tonight as there is no meeting this week at work. No conference room available to hold it in. I will let you know tomorrow. Have a great Monday. (((HUGS))) Annie |
I had a huge meeting today. Story time at the library with the kids this morning, fed them lunch and then a former tv reporter from our local station, who was downsized ,came here to talk about Avon! This all came from my presentation last Tuesday's Breakfast Meeting. We have chatted a bit since. It is hard to believe I have something to offer her but she thinks so..................
My district manager came too. So I had 5 kids here playing and held a meeting at my usually piled high dining room table. Holy 2.75 hour meeting Batman!!! It was all good. Really fab feedback about my presentation last Tues. The kids were stellar. They played and then came in for snack and then played more inside. I took breaks from the meeting to take care of kids(aka change poopy diapers) but everyone knew it would be like that. All positive. Wowzers........ I feel so complete and empowered. Having 10 years more life experience since I owned my last business and doing the work to make "me" good with me really makes a difference.Nothing to prove to anyone. No Angst. No expectations. No attachment to the outcome. Just putting myself and ideas out there and see where they take me. Way cool!!!!!! weeeeeeeee....................... H PS the magazine is now out in print. (((Annie)) Love ya girl!! Hi to ALL!!! |
I can't understand this!. I've been bouncing between 208 and 206 for 6 weeks!! It’s becoming frustrating and annoying! It seems like I'll never make it to 199! ugh!!! :(
My arms are killing me from weight training yesterday. Hope that helps melt off some lbs. Been OP since saturday, sunday did 30 minutes on both elliptical and treadmill. I gotta break this cycle. I do not want to see 206 on the scale next time I weigh-in!! :no: |
I would love to be 199!!!! I have been battling the same 10-12 lbs for a year now I think!!! Ugh!
I posted this somewhere else also but need all the encouragement I can get. I do good Mon-Thur and then seem to blow it on the weekends and it is so frustrating cause I try really hard during the week so I don't know why I do this to myself. I did order some Fit n Free pizza off the internet - it isn't too bad and it is only 3 points! I top it with tons of veges (peppers, tomatoes, artichokes, red onion, garlic) that I stir fry in some Pam while the pizza is cooking and then top the pizza with those. It is yummy - hopefully a cure for pizza addition on the weekends. I read this week also about the Wendie plan regarding Weight Watcher points. You alternate the point value each day tricking your body into not getting use to the same amount of food intake each day regarding points/calories. They say this can help you get off a plateau. I'll let you know how it works if I start losing weight again!! I'm curious to see also if my chlosterol goes up when I get my blood work done on the 26th. We raise chickens and I've been eating eggs every day - they satisfy my hunger on my salad at lunchtime & I eat them alot for breakfast. From experience, has anyone seen their chlosterol levels go up because of these? I'm excited - I've just completed my 16th week of exercising 4 days a week on a consistent basis!!!! This has always been a challenge for me cause I have 2 bad knees. Thanks for listening to me rattle on. Pass on any advice you have or recipes!!! Have a good day girls! |
Hey ladies....
Guess what? The biopsy came back on my mom. No cancer on the preliminary biopsy. Still unsure what it is we are dealing with, but at least no cancer. We won't have all the results back for 5 more weeks, but for now, weee haaaaa. Eating has been a bit out of control today but not too bad. I am done for the day. My colonoscopy is scheduled for June 9. Can't wait for that one. I can't believe how much this beta blocker has brought my blood pressure down. 112/74 today at the doctor. Beats the heck out of 168/100. To think, 112/74 is what is used to run naturally when I was younger. Aging stinks. My DD has to have all 4 of her wisdom teeth pulled. That will be June 16. It was tough finding a oral surgeon in the network of my insurance, but mission accomplished. Will only have to pay the deductible. Instead of 550 bucks. Water heater went out last night. Landlord is here now replacing it. He is having a tough time of it, hope he is done soon. I need to go potty in a BIG way. (water turned off) Don't want to chance the one flush deal, I suspect this is going to be a 2 or 3 flusher. hahaha. Guess I will pour me some of the tea in the fridge, I am dying of thirst. Thanks for the hugs Holly. I needed it. (((HUGS))) |
My freinds,
I'm so mad I could just explode. Why do I have such destructive eating habits??? I have done so well. Now, My job is so stressful. I catch myself eating (gorging) mindlessly. I haven't been counting points lately. I haven't been to curves in a week. Things are on a downward spiral...I'm way out of control. I eat well at b-fast and carry a lite lunch most days. I don't snack at work. But...OMG...when I get home I eat nonstop till I go to bed. I'm not giving up. I just need to get back in control... Guys thanks for letting me vent. I'm just so tired of the struggle. The more I learn on my job the more the add on me. It's really crazy. Later friends, I'm going to take a cool shower and go to bed early |
(((debbie)))
|
Debbie~Keep working hard and you will beable to get your habits under control soon. It is very difficult to keep focus on yourself, esp. when things in your life are changing. Hope all is better soon. ((hugs))
|
Debbie, I count points as well. Check out the Wendie plan through WW on the internet - it might be just the thing to jumpstart you. I checked into it this week. Here it is:
http://groups.msn.com/PointingMyWayt...endieplan.msnw Good luck and hang in there - we are here for you. |
I've been lurking...and eating..that's the reason I'm lurking. I'm even skipping my TOPS meeting this week because I know that I will be up and sometimes that motivates me to get in gear and other times it depresses me. Today it would depress me, so I'm going to listen to my inner feelings and not go.
BUT, I will get back on track. I think that I have told myself for so long that this is a lifestyle and it is, but I've gotten so far away from it that at this time I must go back on my diet to get to My Plan. Does that make sense. I'm going to have to act differently and it's not going to feel normal, because the normal me has become someone who uses food for a lot more issues than just hunger. :hug: Debbie: I know you won't quit but I know how it feels when you know you can do this and stay on track because you have done it, it's how you have gotten this far. Let's begin again together. I have an event on July 8th that I want to lose weight for. I'll feel so much better about myself that night when I go to get dressed if I have lost 8.75. That's 1.25 lbs a week...that's a good loss for me. What do you say Debbie? Ready to begin again? I eat too when I get home from work, sort of a destresser, but eating all those things just puts more stress on me. For me it all boils down to me not saying No...no to the extra work, no to the extra requests, no to the extra fodd. I know that what beginning again means to me: Acting, eating and moving like I am on a new Weight Loss plan. It is new to me: because this time I will loose what I plan to loose. |
did body sculpt
...dvd two days in a row. It seems so fast compared to yoga and the breathing is opposite but I didn’t mind it except for when I sweat. EW!!! DS launched with grace!! Odd but enjoyable.

|
Hey everyone,
I'm not in a very good place right now. My job is stupid stressful. I think the first chance that comes open. I'm going to get my outside posiition back. You deal with the weather not a&&'s. Today's my babys b-day. Yeah! My baby is 28. OMG...That a kick in the depends...LOL. I'm truly going to try and restart in the am. Have a great w-end Later my friends. :grouphug: |
Hello,
I am "detoxing" and getting off the sugar. I have acknowledged the fact that I ama sugar addict. I just can't have it. It turns me into a monster. I'm not kidding. Last week after my husband left for work, I STUFFED down 1 bottle of Rootbeer and 3 snowballs! That's when I realized I was an addict. It's my "drug" or "drink" of destruction. I'm doing ok with getting off it. I had a headache yesterday and I have been really tired. I'm pouring in the water when I feel that way. Went shopping for some ideas for clothes for my upcoming b-day. DH loves to buy me clothes. I felt that I could go up a size; the 22 pants fit but they felt tight as did the 18 shirts, the 24 pants and the 22 shirts felt great but they looked a little sloopy. I'm NOT going back up in sizes. I came from a 26...I'm just not going to do it! I told him to buy the 22 pants and the 18 shirts. Hey, in 10 lbs they will fit very well. I also tried on some cocktail dresses for the September cruise. I found a couple I liked but they will look better 20 lbs from now and 20 lbs is what it's going to be. I'm taking my measurements in the moring so I can keep motived by them as well as the lower numbers that will start showing on those scales. Debbie: I totally understand about the job. At this point don't let it rule you. It's not who you are, it's just something that you are doing. Holly: I hope your garden turns out well. About your new exercise routine; it's good to sweat!! Keep up the good work. You are AMAZING! Jiggly: Don't get discourged, you will get there. I've got to run. Susie |
Susie: Hope so :hug:
Debbie: :hug: I hate my job tooooo :D I keep telling myself that I'm going to exercize when I get home from work.. I've been telling myself that for the last 4 days and I never actually got my butt off the couch and into the gym. I even go into details of what exercise I'll be doing, how long, what I'm going to wear... ugh! Why can't I just get up and do it!! :?: |
Hello,
Just a quick check-in here. I had a successfull day. I'm stating that because we had a church dinner and I really thought I would do awful with all the desserts that were available. I did have some but I didn't have full pieces, just bites of them so that I could try all that I wanted to. Jiggly: About the exercise, maybe you have to much to do in the evening and it's not a good time to workout. Maybe you could do something in the morning before work, or at lunch? Let's talk about what you think is contributing to you not exercising and find away around the problem. I'm sure there are people here who can help you get around them. I know I"ll sure try to help. Susie |
Jiggly~Can you go right after work, like on your way home? When we first started DH had to have everything with him, and I met him there on his way home. Now he comes home first, but we still have to have everything together, because If I let him sit for too long, he gets a little sluggish. Also, evening may not be a good time for you. I know I prefer to WO in the morning, but I love going with DH (someone to talk to) so I have to go when he can. As Susie says...talk it out and maybe someone can help you. (hugs)
Bad weekend foodwise, but overall was good activity wise. I am back on track today and I can't wait to exercise this afternoon. Have a wonderful Monday all!! |
Hi everyone,
Things are going better at work. I've know my boss for 15-16 years. He is pretty much all business. We share one thing. We both ride a Harley. We have always gotten along well. He called me in his office to show me the harley shirt his daughter had sent him from Ireland. When I started talking to him. I just started crying. Besides being our assist/gen manager He is also a a detective in the ft worth DP. So he is Mr tough guy with a capital T. All I could do is just wave bye I couldn't get out what I was wanting to say. OMG... What was up with that??? I saw him later. I just laughed and told him my eyes spring leaks at the damnest times. He just laughed... good save. I've not gotten back to my plan yet but I'm feeling a little better about myself. Things are good with DH..DS's are good. It's just time for my cycle of doodahs. :grouphug: Thanks my friends |
Susie & upswife: :hug: thank you guys. I actually do have the time after work to do it, I guess I'm just too lazy. I have done two workouts this week so far, I had to push myself to do them, I kept repeating *shut up and do it* through my head whenever I was going to back out, or get off the machine I was currently exercizing on. sighhh... wish I had a personal trainer who'd kick me in the butt when I slowed down or didn't want to do something.
I'm not getting as hungry as I used to at work. And I've noticed that I'm snacking less now..yay, hope this stays the same when TOM is here *dreaming* :D |
Good morning,
I'm looking forward to my workout tonight. I haven't worked out in a week! I talked to the trainer at the Y and she is coming up witht a new workout for me that I can do in 30 minutes. I wanted to add something in that I could do on my lunch hour in addition to the workout I usually do with my workout partner. I have a cruise coming up in September ladies--this is going to require me to put in some extra effort! I'm going to need a lot of support and encourgement. But I'm looking forward to it. I was reading through my June issue of Shape and the the Editor said that when we feel our best we look our best. I'm going to take that mantra and make it mine. For the next 6 weeks I will journal with that thought and I'll keep it as my focus. Feeling my best to look my best. I'm feeling renewed this morning. I'm happy about that because I haven't felt this way for a long time. I would start over, but I didn't feel renewed. Today I do and I'm going to build on it. Debbie: Sometime a good cry is what we need. I have a hard time crying. I just don't let myself. I think it's because I don't want to loose control. I wish I would feel that way about food! Jiggly: You are doing great with the exercise this week. Give yourself a pat on the back...it's not that you have to exercise..think about the fact that you get to. Ok ladies..positive frame of mind today..let's do this!! Susie |
Debbie~((hugs)) I know how it feels. We are here for you!
Jiggly~ I wish I had a trainer too! BUt we can always dream right? :D Susie~Great job with the extra workouts! I blew it last night at dinner, but I am dusting off this morning, and I AM going to do well today. Will try to get in some extra exercise this evening. Love to you all! |
Hello ladies
I haven't posted in a while but I have been lurking and keeping an eye on you all! lol I've been having one of those horrible months where I think nothing is going to go right but it hasn't been as bad as I thought it was going to be. It wasn't wonderful, business was crap but I did get the township sorted out with the licenses, having developed a rapport with the girl there, she turned out to be quite helpful in the end thank goodness! I'm now down 30.5lbs which I am VERY pleased about. Big clothes have been put in yard sale box as they were getting too embarrassing to wear anymore with falling off. Thought I might be able to get away with my denim shorts for a few more weeks but I buttoned them and they fell off too - great feeling but I hadn't worn them much since I bought them last summer! I am in a better frame of mind now - luckily I don't go off plan when I am feeling down as I convince myself I will feel worse if I do! We had a night away Sunday as we had a cab run to Maryland to get a guy back to his car who had sailed down so we took advantage and got ourselves a nice hotel in Wilmington, De, with a jacuzzi and relaxed for a night and morning. Didn't give in at the continental brekkie and just had cornflakes and a banana instead of muffins and bagels, had a nice Indian Buffet lunch which is a treat for me as no Indian restaurants too near us. Went to the British store there too and stocked up on sausages and Brit 'staples'. I was very pleased with myself as I normally buy 4 of every choc bar, loads of crisps (chips) and candy and all I bought was one bag of jelly babies, 2 small choc bars - one each for me and DH, a steak and kidney pie for treat day, 2 bags of crisps for treat day, 2 sausage rolls and a truck load of sausages which of course will be a great protein boost for the coming few weeks! lol I was bad last night when we got home, it was pretty late so I downed the 2 sausage rolls, a bag of crisps, the choc bar and half the bag of jelly babies. Seeing as I would normally have eaten the whole bag of jelly babies, a few bags of crisps and several choc bars I was pretty pleased with myself even if I did eat naughty stuff! I am amazed I didn't fall to the floor with the sugar rush but I did go to bed earlier and was asleep within minutes and I slept really well too! Back on track today with sausages and wheat bread for brunch as I woke up so late. I am going to work out how and when to eat my 'treats' so that I don't eat them all at once or all together! DH told me this morning that I was starting to look 'dainty' again which was a great motivation. I really have to work out some kind of exercise routine. Been moving and packing a lot of stuff at mil's house this past week and it is a lot easier to do now with less weight on my bones. Bike tyres are now pumped up ready to go so I will start evening bike rides this week with DH, my tae-bo dvd is gathering dust as I have no room to exercise here at the moment due to the assault course which is my house. Got a self storage place now so will be moving all excess furniture into there this week so will have my space back thank goodness. Giant yard sale at storage place on June 24th so I can just pull out the stuff from the space instead of lugging it back over here to sell in my yard! Hopefully it will help us get rid of some stuff and make a nice little bit of money for something special! Love n hugs to all, I hope to be around a bit more once I have my house straightened out. Keep on track girls, we CAN do this! Sarah |
Hello ladies!!! I don't have too much time, but I thought I would share this.
DH said the other day "your rear IS looking smaller" It did make me feekl better, but boy did he word it the wrong way. Later chicas! |
Hello,
Well...I've learned that a person can hide from the truth but one day you have to face it. I have been out of control for a long time. I will get excited about getting back on track, do good for a week if I'm lucky and then fall right back off that wagon. I know that we all do it, but I've done it and not really worried to much about it until yesterday. Yesterday I saw a picture of myself and was HORRIFIED! and I also went to TOPS after missing a week and I had gained 7 pounds! 7 pounds that put me over 260. I NEVER wanted to be over 250 again, much less than 260. I will be honest, in the back of my mind has been that this is not fair; I have medical issues that make it hard for me to lose weight..that's true, but I also eat horribly and I've not been working out. So, there it was staring me in the face. However, I didn't get mad, I didn't want to cry, instead I wanted to get down and dirty and do this. I didn't have this excitement that I've been having when I think I'm going to "start over", no, instead I felt that I'm going to "start" and I feel calm. I took my measurements (before the weigh-in and the picture) maybe I had a preminison? Bought a new journal, pasted that picture in there and left a place for the next one which will be when my new TOPS Achievement log calls for new measurements 13 weeks(about the end of August if I'm counting right). There is going to be a difference ladies...a great improvement. UPS & Hippy: Isn't it nice when your man notices? Later, Susie |
Another -0.5 lbs.. sigh (206.5) :(

Good Morning world!!!!
Had a good sleep and woke feeling rested for the first time in over a week. Love that!! Just 1 little monkey and another one coming, 2 are off today. I have the A/C ON!!! It is going to be 34C today and tomorrow( 98F). What the Heck!!!! I may melt. Super EW!!!!!!!!!!!! Lots to do inside. Kitchen is a disaster. hubby worked on the Capri til well after I went to sleep at 9. The kitchen did not get cleaned. I have Avon to pack up and books to do!!! Hope hubby took lots of water. Gas is going up to $1.30 a litre that is $5.20 a gallon. Hence how hubby spent the weekend. We have decided to take the van off the road but keep it. It is paid for and it is a great vehicle for big jobs and camping. I will drive the Saturn. Hubby looked all weekend for a motorocyle but no luck. He has a 1978 Capri( like a mustang) in the shed. He drove it until 2002. It needs a bunch of work. I talked him into seriously pulling the car apart and seeing what it needs. he can get it on the road for around $800.00. He even found front brake parts on the seat all ready to go.We will save a minimum of $200.00 a month in gas this summer. So it will pay for itself and we will be seeing saving by the fall. This means no more outings with the extra kids all summer but that is life. Lovely anniversry service and lunch at church yesterday. I mostly puttered at house work all weekend.
