Scale Addicts Anonymous #9
 

Here we go ladies! Monday and a new Thread! Weather is gorgeous. I'm on my way out to get breaky and laundry. Ebf couldn't sleep at his own place last nite and showed up here at 1am asking to sleep on the couch cuz it was too quiet and lonely at his place. So I let him. It's gonna suck to be him when the time comes that I say no.

Have a great day ladies!

HS - That time should have already come! Don't let him weasel his way back in... He didn't want to be with you anymore, so he shouldn't be able to come to you when he can't sleep... Maybe he should get a puppy and leave you be already!

I'll second that Jenn....What a pitiful excuse, "it's too quiet and he's lonely"...tell him to get himself a radio, it's great for company late at night, also a night light, just in case he's afraid of the dark!!! :lol: You've moved on HS - don't let him slow you down, you've got a fantastic job, your scales are being kind to you, you have great friends...you really don't need to start carrying around extra weight again!!

Anyway how are you all??? I'm trying really hard to get on here everyday, but the sun is shinning, i'm working or busy with mummy stuff and then when the kids are home, both pc's are working flat out as i have two DD's revising for exams on them!! so i'll do my best!

Weight about the same, TOM is due so i'm doing ok really, if only i could find that little bit of extra determination i'd drop that last couple of pounds, but it's really hard, summer is great for eating, i'm bieng invited to BBQ's / garden lunches and while most of them are quiet healthy others are not so. I went to DH work collegues house at the weekend and was confronted with a table FULL of processed / ready made food, it was all a nightmare...I ate as little as possible then had a healthy supper when i got home! In contrast i had lunch at a friends house yesterday and it was supper healthy and very yummy, with freshly picked raspberry's for dessert.. But what i'm trying to say is...summer time is for foodies, there is so much fresh produce around it's a shame not to eat it ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :devil: :lol:

Where is everyone??? All out sunning themselves no doubt!!

See ya!

Hey ladies . . . :)

It's me again.

I was under way too much pressure from the four-legged side of my life, and things kind of fell apart with the working out and food thing. *sigh*

But I've found a new place to keep my horses - a HUGE stress relief - it's less than 5 minutes from my house. Shadow is finally resolving all her lameness issues, the supplements are kicking in and easing the spavins stuff, and she's blown two abscesses - one of which was so bad it took off a huge chunk of hoof wall with it. The other one cracked her heel and caused a large hole in the frog. No wonder the poor darlin' was so freaking sore. So now she and Eve are sporting classy new shoes on front to help them get through till the new stronger hoof growth comes in. We'll be moving the horses on the 1st, and we are all anxious and excited. It's a great new facility, and the barn is brand new - actually not even completely finished yet. Wee!

Artemis the wonder-destructo-foster pup has found a wonderful new home and they took her sister Tippy too. Another huge stress relief item. No more glaring, accusatory looks from the BF, no more destroyed mystery items, no more messes on the carpet. She'd gotten better, but it was still questionable.

I can start getting my routine back.

HS - Hm. It appears I missed a few episodes of "As Hotsplashes' Life Turns." Sounds like you've been doing some housecleaning, eh?? Good for you, girl. And yeah.. I would say you really don't need him wandering back sleeping on your couch. He's a big boy, tell him to grow up. Er, just my .02 worth. :D

Tulip - I can relate with having a hard time getting online. The only time I really can is at work because if I'm at home - well, I'm not usually at home, I'm at the stables. ;) No computer there.

Jenn - Poor puppy!!! :devil:

Tonight I stop at Walmart and get myself a new pair of headphones (Artemis destroyed the last two pair) and hit the treadmill tomorrow. Hopefully this time I'll be able to get back on track again.

just popping in, to say hello!

HELLO!

Hey Everyone! Life has been really busy for me lately. I went down to Gulf Shores, AL to pick my daughter up on Thursday (she stayed with my MIL for 2 weeks) but didn't return until the night before last Reason being is because my mother-in-law (to whom I am very close to) had a seizure/stroke. She actually died and they had to bring her back to life. We needed to stay a few more days. We were supposed to come back on Sunday but that is when it happened.... on our way back home. We had to turn around and go back. She is fine now though.. They're running some tests to find out what happened and we will know more about what happened later on I guess. So if you guys would keep her and our family in your prayers it would be greatly appreciated.

BUT when I was down there, I ate like crazy.. totally went off my diet. I guess it's to be expected when you jump out of your routine. The funny thing is... I stepped on the scales this morning and I lost a pound. LOL After all that eating. I'm down to 140 now.. Of course I'm back on the wagon and I'm hoping to see some more loss in the next few weeks. Only 10 more pounds to go until I get to my goal weight!!!! :)

Raven-- I'm happy that you are receiving some weight lifters in your life. Feels good don't it? Sorry your horsies were sick though :( I can definitely understand about destructable puppies too.. ugh! It can be so frustrating.

Hope everyone is doing good. I have to go to work now.. although I really don't feel like it. It's been non stop for about a week now.. I just need a breather. *sigh*

TTFN!

Morning everyone! Sorry to have been gone so long. Puter went down...exbf is having emotional issues and still showing up on my doorstep. But the issues are resolving themselves. I'm still sitting 169(haven't stepped on the scales yet this AM) am eating well, working lots.

To everyone out there..Hope all is going well...hope all children and pets and other family members are well. Raven...ewwww shoeing bills! YAYYYy on the new place!

Take care Tulip, Jenn, Shelley, Raven, And everyone else! See everyone tomorrow!

Good morning all!
 

Alright Jenn!!! WTG!!! :cp: I am so proud of you! You're doing excellent! Keep up the awesome work!

HS -- Sorry bout your puter and your exbf... Hope everything gets resolved soon! It's good to see you though. We miss seeing your posts! :)

I stepped on the scales this morning too.. I sure hope they're right cuz it said 139.. I about died! I'm finally away from 140 something. Today, my hubby asked me where my butt went.. ROFL. It made me feel good though :D I sure hope I'm not loosing weight too fast though. Since I started back on my diet back in March.. I've lost 18 pounds. Is that too much in 3 1/2 months??

Found out some news about my MIL... turns out the seizure was caused by an arthritus medication she was taking. It was one of the side effects. Needless to say she's not taking that anymore. I'm just glad it wasn't a brain tumor or something more serious!

I'll probably be real busy over the weekend so I'll just wish everyone a happy weekend and I'll catch up with yall on Monday :)

Take care all...

Howdie Everyone!

Shelley! Glad to hear about MiL! Meds can do strange things. I used to take meds for my vertigo...used to make me feel like my fireants were biting my face...wanted to rip my skin off! Stopped that stuff right quick. HOpe MiL is much better! ANd congrats on getting out of the 140s! 18lbs in 3.5 months is very good. That's just over a pound a week. VERY GOOD!!! COngrats!!!

JENN!!! YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! So proud of youuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!! Now I can be the cheerleader!!!! YAY JENN...YAY Jenn gooooooOOOOOOOOOO JENN!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I better get off my BOB(Big Ole BUtt) and get moving! I got some serious catching up to do with you and Shelley! Oh Boy!!!

Well folks..am off to do chores and errands...take care and I'll see everyone tomorrow!

Just a quick Hello ladies! Had a stressful evening. Xbf never came to get more of his stuff. And I found out he busted my stereo by trying to stick 4 cds in a 3cd player. So now I have no stereo. So of course I stress ate...then stressed all nite cuz he always complained how he always wanted his nice stuff taken care of...yet all my stuff gets broken somehow...go figger...ok getting stressed again. Tis sunny and beautiful here. wish I didn't have to go to work. Would rather be riding!!!

See everyone later! Good thing is...all the stress made me do a housecleaning frenzy!lol

Hi all,
Thought i'd pop in and make my post a little bit longer than last time!! lol

I didn't have much time to post last time coz we had a bit of an emergency on...nothing, thankfully like yours Shelley...DH had to delivery a piece of machinary to Ireland, i had to organise the ferry / hotels etc and as a reward i was allowed to accomany him!!! Although i don't get paid as his secretary...i am offically so some times i get good perks!!! Yeh, i've just spent a very pleasant weekend in the old emerald isles...I've never been before, but it was only a 3 hour drive to the ferry port and then a 4 hour crossing! The sun shone, and the people were so freindly! Hotel was very elegant and the restaurant food was to die for (whoops the diet went out on the window!!)

Congrats to shelly and Jenn for lowering those numbers...mine are still the same...I really need to do somthing to getting them moving again!

Well, so much for a long post..DD is bugging to get on here to look at something for her homework!!

Enjoy the rest of hte weekend and see you all on Monday!
Tulip

Well...been sick off and on all weekend...don't know what...but I feel alot lighter. Won't get on the scales till tomorrow...Weather is icky...rain and humid..but bearably cool. Tulip you are sooo lucky to go on that trip! and to get such nice weather too! My friend goes every year and says more rain than not when she goes! Lucky YOU!!

Shelley and Jenn...wherrrrree arrrrrreyouuuuuuuuuuu???LOL I guess we've lost Grassie to greener hopping pastures. Hope all is well with her.

Talk to everyone tomorrow...

Here I am!
 

I tried getting on here earlier but the site was being Wonky. Scales said the same as usual...169...not up not down...so I'll take that as good sign. Nice Bday pressie for Tim! Spoiled boy! New place too,,,kewl! Now all he needs is new job closer to new home! Good stuff Jenn! Glad to see you are keeping busy!

I'm still kindy pukey from the weekend. Took today off work and am still a regular visitor to the porcelain throne. Don't know what it is...but it sucks!

Keep up the great work ladies! See everyone tomorrow!

Morning, just a flying visit to let you know i'm still here, working a fair bit this week so won't be around much..TOM is here and i'm feeling rather bloated and depressed, so not good company at the moment!

I'll try to eat well this week and hopefuly this feeling will not last!

Try to keep on track ladies...i know it's hard, but we can do it!!!

Tulip

My goodness our timing is amazing...ToM is just finishing for me!lol Still feel bloated...and a bit worn down. Always do. Maybe need to take an iron supplement during the week...I used to before and it made me feel better. Weather is gorgeous. Feeling much better today. Too bad I have to go back into work!lol

Have a great day ladies hope to see more of you on here!

I'm here! I'm here! :) TF-- Ireland huh? I have AWLWAYS wanted to go there, you lucky dog you. Did you take some pictures??

HS-- Sorry you've been so sick! Glad you're feeling better though! :)

I've been busy working like a dog. I pull a double tomorrow.. a lot of work, but a lot of money! :)

I'm down to 138 now.. lost another pound! :D Gosh, I can't believe I am doing so well. This feeling I have about myself is just awesome. Makes me wander why I didn't do this sooner. The fact is that I'm doing it now and that's all that matters. I'm on frikkin cloud nine man! lol

okay girls..gotta get ready for a girls night out! I'll see ya'll tomorrow!

OH NOOO we fell off the page!!! Hope we can keep it back up front!

Welcome back Shelley and Congrats on the loss! Keep up the great workl.!

Jenn, I hope your puter is better!

I'm felling much better. Work has been keeping me on my feet. I think I'm going to buy a pedometer and see how many steps I walk in a day. They say between 7 and 10k are good for losing weight. But I'msure that I do more than that. I mean with work and walkign my dogs! Gotta be lotsa steps in there!lol

Well my cat wants to puke on theputer so I'm gonna head out and make sure she don't!

Take care folks!

Well, I have officially lost 30 POUNDS!!!!!! I stepped on the scale today and it said 137. I'm loosing about a pound a week. Which is good.. slow and steady. Everyone at work is noticing and my boss called me "Skinny" the other day!! he he.

HS-- LOL I hear ya. I need one of those too. I must walk at least 5 miles a day when I'm working. Good to hear you're feeling better. Do you have any idea what it could have been?

Well, the hubby is gone, kids are gone for the weekend and I have the whole house to myself! Time to get some major cleaning done. My house needs an extreme makeover!!

Yall have a good 4th!! TTFN!

HEY ya'll.. Where is everyone? Still celebrating the 4th? :) How did ya'lls 4th go anyway? Hope everyone had a great weekend! Sunday was very scary for me. We had the worst storm EVER! It was around 12:30 in the afternoon.. the sun was shining, I had my TV off and I was going to town on cleaning my house. So I didn't know it was coming. All of a sudden it got really dark outside and I hear the wind blowing, howling through my windows. I opened my front door and I kid you not, all the trees outside were bent so far over they were touching the ground. Here I am, by myself in the house, scared to death! I thought there was a tornado out there! I freaked out and called my husband. He was supposed to be on his way home with the kids and I screamed at him to stay there and as soon as I did that, the power went out...and stayed out for hours..

After it was all over I walked outside (along with everyone else in the neighborhood) to see the devestation (sp?). Trees down everywhere.. some were uprooted right out of the ground. We were told that a man at the golf course up the street was hit by a tree and got his head split open. I sure hope he's alright.

TOM is almost here.. I can feel it. ugh. I hate feeling so bloated and fat. I don't understand why we have to have these things anyway. lol Guess I'll be waiting a while to weigh in. Hope I can fit into my work pants this morning!

Well, yall take care.. gonna finish my coffee and get ready for work. :)

Hiya
Sorry i've been quite for so long..........not coping too well at the moment, life is seriously hard work at the moment.
Weight is the same and i'm just concentrating on maintaining my lost rather than aiming for my goal weight!!
Hope your feeling better soon both of you........where is everyone else??? MIA same as me i suppose.
Glad you made it through your storm Shelly, i'd have been terrified!!!

Must go - speak to you all soon
Tulip
~x~

Goooooood MORning all! It's FRIDAY!! :D I'm off for the weekend... woohoo!!

I'm at a stand still with my wieght.. hasn't moved at all in a while. So that's what I'm kinda doing too, TF. But it's more than likely because TOM's on the way. *Sigh* How's everyone else doing?

Well, just a quick note to say hi.. :) We kinda fell off there. he he.. Catch yall later!

Hi,
I'ts friday evening, I've just finished work and am now off to church for the priests induction mass (I would rather go down the pub for an end of week drink, but don't tell him i said that!!! - lol)

I am looking forward to a weekend off work, i promise i won;t eat too much!!1

Have a good one everyone! Hope you feel better soon Shelly, TOM won't last for ever, look at me and HS - back to normal already!! lol

Hiya everyone! It's been a lazy Saturday for me. Haven't felt like doing a thing!! Hubby got up and cleaned the house for me... isn't he the greatest?! :)

TOM finally arrived... can't wait till it's over so I can weigh myself.. lol

Yeah, where is everyone?!

It's Sunday evening, had a good day, just as lazy as yours shelley by the sounds of it!

Cooked a lovely roast dinner with all the trimmings, but was very good and only had one helping of dessert, double fruit and a small amount of ice cream!!

Where are you HS??? We'll keep us on the front page until you get back...if anyone else out there can join in i'd be most grateful as Shelley is gonna get pretty fed up of just talking to me until the others get back...lol

Enjoy the rest of Sunday, see you all on Monday!

Tulip

TF--LOL :D I'll never get tired of chatting with you :) I think I'm talking to myself more though.. I'll eventually get tired of that :P

Seriously though.. Guess what.. I fought myself and stepped on the scales this morning and I'm down a pound!! 136... I'm totally flabergasted. I even put on a pair of size 7 shorts that I wore 5 years ago. They're a little snug but I could get them over my thighs! lol

HS-- We miss ya girl.. hope to see you take a breather and come and post soon!!

Good Morning Everyone (!)

Well done Shelley, another pound gone - that's brilliant!!!

HS - We still on the front page...for now!

I'm off to have lunch with some girl friends today, so wish me lunch, i'm determined to keep it healthy! "fingers crossed"

Have a good monday, hope to see a few more on here on Tuesday!

Hi Jenn,
We'll let you off, a vacation sounds wonderful...shame about TOM coming too...I hate it when he comes uninvited :mad: ...he's such a gatecrasher!!! lol :lol:

You sound like you had a good time with Tim, well rested and ready to tackle anything??? Im jealous!! :p :p

Nice to have you back ;)

Speak later
Tulip
~x~

oh i just hate the first day back to work after a holiday...must say though that i dont' see my responsible adult side much.....not even sure i have one it's been so long!!! lol

Well that's the first day done, tomorrow can only get easier!

See you tomorrow!

well luckily when i came in, we were still on the front page...so thanks for that Jenn!

I didn't realise i'd missed a day...I've worked for the past couple of days and have to work the weekend also so thought I'd pop in now otherwise i'll forget over the weekend!
My sister rang and ask me if i'd have her kids overnight.............in-between shifts.....ahhhhh...ok....of course i can no problems......after all your party is much more important than me getting any sleep!!!!!!!!!! No seriously, i don't really mind.....I love having them and her and her husband need to spend some time together, their off to a party with some very close friends!!!

Hope your all ok, it's very quiet around here...where are you HS??? I'll try to pop in over the weekend to keep us on the front page...looks like it's up to you and me Jenn...are you up for the challenge???

Did your "baby" have a good birthday??? Hope so!
See you tomorrow!
Tulip

Hiya!
We'll I've done my work, did my babysitting, and now i'm shattered!!! I'm going to treat myself to a hot bubbly bath, with a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio...after all i feel as if i've earnt it!

Scales say the same, eating well, still no exersice done but haven't sat still for ages so i'm hoping that will count??!!

Well I'm getting a bit bored with talking to myself...

...where are you Jenn??

...Where is everyone???

...Hellllllllooooooooooooooo??
