Leanne

Leanne
Way to go girl!!! That is so great that you met your goal. I do have to say, you have a great smile! (Beautiful teeth)

Tulip
Glad to see you back. I had been wondering where you were at.
My older daughter had her birthday yesterday. She turned 14. Did not have much money to spend on her but I told her that when I get my first payckeck I would take her shopping. May is an expensive month for me.
The job is going ok. The pay is very good for my area. Thank you for the prayers. Keep them comming.

Worked in the garden today. Have a bit of a sunburn on the back of my neck. Forgot the sunscreen there. Only thing that needs to be planted is the watermelons. I do not work tomorrow so I hope to get that done in the morning before it gets to hot. It is 92 right now.
Have a good afternoon everyone!

Happy Memorial Day and Bank Holiday to everyone! ANd a big WOOHOOOOO!! for Leanne~ Look at that smile and that medal!! YAYYYYYYYYY

No holidays here...just nice weather and some plumbing on the to do list.

It's wonderful to see EVERYONE on here!!

Flower!! Good going on the job!! I know the feet hurt..I've been there...but as Tulip says...the body adapts and it's a small price to pay for your independance! KEep up the good work and good luck with the watermellons! And think of when you lose your goal weight...you can eat that dare to share dessert!!!

KTN!! A finsihed Basement!! YAYYYYY !! All the more room play in and store stuff!Lol I know it's a hard job but it's worth it. Adds value to your home and pride in a job done by yourself! And think of all the calories youa re burning!

MIchelle! Hope you are feeling better today! Drink lotsa green tea and get some rest...I've been fighting off a cold for a few days now so don't feel my best either...we'd better get healthy so we can join Leanne and Tulip in all those marathons!

Tulip!! YEs I remember you!Lol My brain ain't that rusty yet! Gees...inyour life..when it rains...it pours! Fzzy monitors are not good! Hope you enjoy your bank holiday...and stay in shape for that Walkathon! How far do you think you guys willmake it this year? I think you said the family did half last year? that's still quite a feat! GOod Luck

Well I am off to Crappy Tire to get some plumbing stuff...Yes I am going to attempt some plumbing projects on my own!lol If youdon't hear from me...you know I'm in a rubber raft floating somewhere in Ontario!lol

HS- I have a Home Depot plumbing book, and I swear even I could figure out the projects I was working on! That's saying a lot :lol:

Leanne- Congrats on finishing the race.

Flower- hang in there.

Tulip- making stuff is for my business. Sorry if I posted this before. It's www.trinitylondon.com I've made about 20 things in the past couple of days but haven't bothered taking pictures and adding them to the site yet. I don't think I'll be doing it today since my kiddo is home with me for the holiday. I've ordered some books lately about making glass beads, Chinese knotting, and sculpting silver and gold so that will be my next round of experimenting. Sometimes I think it costs me more to have the business than it would if I was just not working at all :lol:

Hey ladies

well I didnt weigh myself saturday, sunday or yesterday....so I ran 5km last night as fast as I could, and weighed in this morning at 120.6 OMG YAY!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone,. hope the sun is shining!

Leanne

No scale since Saturday.
I'm losing around 1 lb per week now. I feel like it is slow, but all the calculators online say that is the fastest I can lose in a healthy way right now - so I guess that is what I have to live with!
Leanne, congrats on the run (and the great weigh-in!)
HS-The basement isn't all the way finished yet, we are up to the second coat of taping, soon we will sand, put up a third coat of spackle and then paint. We are actually building a home theater down there so we are really looking forward to finishing the project. It is a great way to occupy yourself at night - if Im working in the basement I don't even think about food at all! And you are so right about the calorie burning. It was a great big project though, family room, theater room, and bathroom all at once!
Did a bunch of planting in the yard this weekend too. No veggies yet, I'm still afraid I wont be able to keep them alive. So far just trying to make the new house look less lonely outside.
So, for the last few weeks I have been only weighing in on the weekends, seems to be working for me.
Hope you all had a great weekend.

PARTY AT KTN"S HOUSE!!! Well once the home theater room is done!!Lol I'll bring the lowfat dip and veggies!!

I got caught in the rain yesterday...waited so long i decided to just tuff it out and walk the rest of the way and get wet...of course it stopped raining about 10 feet from the doorway i'd been standing in!!lol

Plumbing project is going...still trying to find the right part to fit my taps...so off to another Crappy Tire I go...Leanne knows what Crappy Tire is!Lol

Treated myself to some Banana Muffins this morning since I worked onmy day off. gonna be a great paycheq next friday! Take care ladies and I might see you later! I caught up with a friend and we are going to start walking together down by the lake 2 or 3 times a week!

So much easier when you have a walking pal!

Please see below...I accidently hit the proceed button prematurely! :o :lol:

Hello ladies!
I've only been a member here for a couple weeks and I've decided to join a support group. This one seems appropriate since I AM such a scale addict! Sometimes I've gotten on there 1 or 2 times a day! Not good, not good. However, I have been able to minimize it to once a week (Mondays to weigh in for the week). So we'll see how long that lasts!

Anyway, here are my stats:
Age: 27
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 193
Newlywed (this past New years day!)
Wanna lose: 60 lbs minimum
Work: Exec. Secretary/Direct Sales Manager/Housewife
Pets: Freedom=60 lb German Shepherd mix; Fibi=5 lb Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix; Feona=tortoise shell kittycat
Hobbies: Music (I'm a singer. My website is www.aaralyn.com), Drawing, Painting, Traveling, Journaling, more I'm sure but I can't think of anything else right now...daydreaming...
Diet: none (shakes here and there when I'm too lazy to fix something to eat OR when I need something quick besides fast food)
Exercise: 1 mile walk (minimum) 5 days a week. I like the Leslie Sansone dvd's. Trying to do at least 50 crunches every day.
I'm new to forums. I've chatted before, but never regularly.

That's all for now! I have to go walk!

Hey Amanda

HS- if the bugs bother you, open your mouth, arent bugs great protein?? Ew, just kidding! Good for you for 5 miles, how is the hip after that??

I stepped on the scale this morning, but I am proud to say I only weighed myself once yesterday! Yay me (small victory)...AND, I have decided that when we go away this weekend, leave here friday back sunday I WILL NOT TAKE MY SCALE WITH ME...(HUGE victory)

Leanne

Leanne - congratulations on the run!

Anyone who's been wondering where I am, I've been in Greece. And I didn't step on any scales for over a week.

Didn't take me long to seek them out this morning though...

WOW Greece! The pictures that I have seen are so pretty. The water and sky so blue. I hope you had a wonderful time. One of these days I would love to see the world.
I have been very good to not get on the scale. Have not been very good about what I have been eating. Bugs have not been on the menue just everything else! Ü

You make me laugh, flower.

I got on the scale today, and it is at the low range of the 3 pounds I keep gaining and losing lately. I really just need to start eating right again and exercising. Why is it that I know that and still don't do it? :p
