Happy Monday! I am so ready to go back to bed its not even funny!!! Anyways, here we go.
I'm 6'1. Really really tall ... Looks like your hubby and i are the same height I know we can do this together. Summers vcoming up soon and the bathing suit needs to be ready to be worn!
I have no idea what we're going to do for our honeymoon. Luke (fiance) doesn't like to fly but he will. Probably about a 5-6 max...and that would be pushing it. I want to do a carribean cruise or something warm. We'll see. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
Work... yippee. I work for Oh Boy Oberto Jerky/sausage. I handle one of three sales divisions. In few words, I'm the one making all the outside sales reps of my division keep there behinds in line Do you have Oberto out there? Better question, Where is "out there"??
By the way, Congrats on the almost 10 years!!! Thats awesome!

Ok, now that i've gabbed and gabbed... back to that whole weightloss thing for a minute! I wasn't too bad this weekend, but i wasn't too good either. I ate pretty good, but i didn't exerciase much. I did do my floor stuff on Saturday and went walking on Sunday...so not too horrible. Today will be better. I'm so mad, i made myself and lunch from yesterdays dinner and i left it at home Now the struggle to find healthy food without breaking the bank. have you noticed that? you can eat like crap for a buck but if you want something good for you, it'll cost you!! Its not fair!! Oh well.
Well, i suppose i should get back to work. you have a wonderful day!! Chat soon!!
Steph

I live in a very small town called Petersburg. I am about 10 miles in Michigan from Toledo, Oh. No, we do not have any Oberto, I have never even heard of it. Basically we live in the sticks. My closest grocery store is about 8 miles away. In fact the closest party store is about 5 miles. I grew up about 1 mile from where we live now.
Hicksville!!!!!
Man you are tall!! How tall is Luke? I wish I had some more height!!
My favorite place I have ever been to is Aruba!! If you get married in October I would stay away from the Caribbean, as it is Hurricane season. That usually runs from end of August till November. What about Mexico? Something like Puerto Vallarta or Acapulco!! I have been to Puerto but not Acapulco.
Or isn't there some ships that go out of California for 4-5 days.
At least there use to be!!
I think a cruise is a great thing!! I love them!!
If you did November, I suggest the cruise, you will love it!!
Ok, the weight loss thing. I have done pretty good today. I even went on the treadmill last night!!
Tomorrow is my weigh in day I am not sure how I will do!!
It has only been a so-so week.
I am going to scan a pictue of me and send it to your email!!!
Actually it will be one of my family (minus the baby) onboard our cruise!!
Chat Later!!
Amy

Good Afternoon, Steph!!!
I weighed in and lost 4 lbs.
I am so excited, I think I can do this again, I finally have it in head!!
It took awhile but it is in.
How have you been doing?
My kids are home on a snow day AGAIN, THEY ARE DRIVING ME NUTS!!
I did my treadmill last night and plan on doing it soon again!!
Alot of my friends joined Curves, but I do not always have a sitter, so that is out of the question.
Oh well, I will see what I can do at home!!
Chat with ya later, Did you get my email?
Amy

YAY AMY!!!! WOO HOO!!! Congrats!!! I'm proud of you!!!
I'm jelous!! We have been hoping for a snow day for the past 3 weeks and no such luck. It's supposed to snow tonight, but i'll be lieve it when i see it!
I just remembered i forgot to weigh in this week! I think i'll do that tonight! I know what you mean about getting it back into it. I think the whole holiday time made me step WAY back! But, we're back on the wagon again!

Thanks for all of the honeymoon suggestions! That helps alot! now we just have to decide when we go!
Hope your kids aren't driving you too crazy!
Steph

Hello!! Our weather is absolutely crazy!! Yesterday is was about 30 and 5 inches of snow. Today is 60 and raining..How nuts!!
We have about a foot of snow on the ground, that is alot for us now.
But of course it is all melting away today!!
I remembered another place what about Las Vegas?
I love it there, or do you not gamble?
I am doing pretty good today so far...
I really want to eat so I decided to get on here and write you.
That helps me alot, I might have to do it more often.
Good luck on your weigh in tonight!!
Amy

Hey you all, can I join too? I thought I was the only one frustrated with trying to get this weight off. I achieved my highest weight, non pregnant of 225 after the holidays. I got so upset because I can't wear any of my clothes. I am 47 so harder to lose, easier to gain. Moved in with boyfriend a year and half ago and weighed 170 then. I hide it well at 5'6" and was a size 12. I am so much in need of support group. Can I play too?

Jody

also, any help on getting my font info off of showing I would appreciate it. I am a little anal at this thread stuff

Hi amy and welcome Jody!
The more the merrier!
Well my weigh in wasn't good or bad. It was the same. I guess thats better than a gain right? I finally drug myself back to my class after an extended break for the holidays and colds. Oh my how i hurt yesterday! Today i'm ok and rteady for more! yippee! I was pretty good yesterday, only splurged once and split a small sundae with Luke. But at least it was frozen yogurt not ice cream!
Today is good so far. I brought a salad for lunch again. Yay for me!
Your weather does sound crazy!! its just cold here. the suns out but its still freezing! I like vegas but i'm not much of a gambler (to cheap!!). I have more fun looking at all of the sites and doing the thrill rides!
Oh i got the dr phil book! i was going to start it on my lunch today! i'll let you know how i like it!

Jody, are you on a specific diet or plan? What exercising are you doing? You've come to the right place for support This site has been sooooo helpful!! hope to here from you soon!

Well ladies, Back to work i go...
Take care and we can do this!!!
Steph

Hello Ladies!! Jody, Welcome, we love to talk to other people also!!!
This thread help me alot, especially when I am having that moment!!
Steph, I pictured you so different. I pictured long black hair!!!!
It is so nice now to have a face in my head now!!! Thanks!!!!
I am getting ready to get on the treadmill after this, I am going to try for 40 minutes,while listening to Dr. Phil.
I picked my middle daughter up from school today, she wanted to go to our little snac shop in town to grab a bite to eat. I had a grilled chicken sandwich
and a handful of fries. Not too bad, I should have not had the fries, but they tasted so good. I am not going to beat myself up over it but.....
Jody, I can see that you got comfortable with your boyfriend. I gained weight after I moved in with Jon too. You relaxed and put on the lbs.
We all do!! Now we are here to help each other get them off!!
I will talk to you all later!!
Amy

Hi ladies..

OMG I'm very very bad. The holidays are over though.. um, for a couple weeks now and life just has to get back on track!

I'll be visiting the gym tomorrow even if I have to make my husband carry me into the car LOL

Know what's worse than children addicted to candy.... adults, because we can afford it. omg .. we need to stop buying candy. It's rediculous I cook healthy all the time we watch what we eat etc, and then we eat bags of candy!

Anyway, I'm going to get back to cleaning up and getting ready to start going back to the gym tomorrow, have to get my life back in order. My hips have been hurting so much lately from the arthritis(and I'm only 37!) that yesterday I could barely walk. It's from not moving enough and not going to the gym I'm making myself suffer cause I"m an idiot.

I'll talk to you all tomorrow!

:group hug:

Chris!

Jody, I am going to try and do the weight track er thing also...
I am not very good at it either!!!!





I got it!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, all I had to do was highlight what I wanted to copy and then rt click the mouse and hit the copy button. Then I went to my other window and right clicked where I wanted it and hit the paste button.
And it was done!!!
Amy

Chris, I thought you ditched us!! Welcome back, missed ya!!!
Amy

hello l'm going to sink the boat but please let me climb on...hehe
l weight 264 two years ago and now weigh 179 l have been trying to lose on my own and am reach the end of my rope. l type in sugar and came up with this forum....l crave sugar sugar sugar help

omg you're not alone. I crave sugar constantly.. and then after i have my sugar.. I crave salt! It's a horrible cycle. The thing is I KNOW how to break it I've done it before. If you can go just -2 to 3- weeks without eating -any- sweets ( I know much easier said than done) you wont crave them anymore, and I -know- from experience. But again.. like I said easier said than done...

My husband and I promised ourselves we weren't going to buy anymore candy! He's addicted too.. he's not overweight though the bugger, he's right at his perfect weight. But he does try to be healthy.

So maybe we can go cold turkey on the sweets together and stop having them LOL.

Thanks for the welcome back Amy, thought you guys would have booted me by now for being such a slacker!



Talk to you soon!

Morning Ladies!! Good to have you back Chris!! Welcome bigmommajo!
Well TGIF is all i can say. I had a pretty good week and i'm looking forward to a weigh in next week because i actualy got my but off the couch (Again) this week!! YAY its about freakin time!
My craving is greasy fatty food and homemade cookies/brownies. For my baked good craving i made a batch of cookies and a batch of brownies and portioned them into tiny bite size pieces (about 1" x 1") and froze them. That way i can just pull one out and get my fix instead of baking myself a whole batch to eat when i just need a bite. Its a pain to do, but its helped alot! As far as the fatty junk, i'm still trying to figure that out. When you crave a greasy old fashioned burger or real fries... somehow a carrot or dry turkey sandwich just doesn't cut it.

Anyone have any goals set? Mine is 7 pounds lost by Valentines day. I think its doable.
By the way amy.. i love the book so far! thanks for the reccomendation!

WE can do this!! I found a neat quote that applys to me:
If we fail, we have not lost. Failure is a new opportunity to begin more intelligently.
here's to another try!
Steph
