NO SILLY POLL THIS WEEK

Have a good Sunday ladies

Faye

Hi Girls!
Pretty quiet around here lately I see. I myself have just been busy and running around all the time, but trying my best to at least check in once in a while and read up on you girls.

Amanda- You're doing good and the important thing is that even if you mess up one day just get back on track the next day. I know its hard, I get like that at times...took me like I year and 15lbs later to get back on track, hehehe. It's funny they are so easy to gain, yet so hard to lose. :lol:

I've been staying OP and I weighed in today and it said 159!! 2 lbs lost!YAY!! I was so happy to see that "5". My first mini goal is to get to 149lbs. Just crossing my fingers I don't get bummed along the way. I tend to eat and shop to fill emotional voids, fortunately lately I've been pretty happy and the nice weather helps too.

Hi all,

Well PMS has gone and I feel like adark cloud has been lifted! I got 4 points yesterday and am on track for a 4 pointer today aswell. I jumped on the scales today and have lost 3lb!! - I think I was carrying ALOT of water weight, and thankfully I seem to have got away with the pizza's because of my high level of exercise. I think my cutting out the carbs at lunchtime has probably helped aswell - just think what I could have lost if I hadn't had the pizza's!

Anyway, this loss has really motivated me to stay on track from now on - I'm hoping to lose another 2lb this week, so then April won't have been a complete washout as I thought it would be.

DOROTHY - Congrats on the loss, You are doing great!!

FAYE - The weather is nice here at the moment, sunny but with a nice cool breeze. Summer is definately on the way!

Love Amanda x

Amanda-That's greeeeat!!! Congrats on the loss.

MONDAY: Today is Mission Monday and our Mission this week is to work hard for 4 pters.

WEEKEND PTS:

Amanda :bravo: great job!

Dorothy: Yeah for you! Terrific job of staying on task and getting those lbs off!

Faye :)

Morning All ... well I had a great weekend ( hope you all did too ), it was a weird one, as far as weather goes...we had tornado warnings on Friday and then we had actual snow on Saturday night, so it was odd...but anyhow I do have some GREAT news...you know I went back OP about 8 days ago, well I weighed myself yesterday and I was down 5 pounds!!! Woohoo, it feels so great to be heading back in the right direction...now that I have been OP for a week I feel stronger about my diet...I did not give in to temptation at my parents this weekend, even though my Mom had just made my favorite blueberry muffins!! Nor did I have doughnuts with dh last night...so for now I am doing well and feeling good about it ... :)
As for dh his back is feeling alot better and it seems that the steriod epidural is actually working so we are really happy about that, not happy however about all the really steep bills already coming in from everything :lol: but what are you gonna do, he needed it done and it made him feel better so it was well worth the $$$ .

Faye - I have not had the boob thing happen but I have never had any cleavage, even at my heaviest I have never gotten past a small C ... my allergies have been bothering me too, must be spring ...

Amanda - You always make me want pizza when I read that you have had it, you know I love it as much as you do!!! :lol: You are doing a great job, dont fret about a little pizza, just do better today...

Dorothy - good job on the loss!!!

Hi to All, hope you have a good day, it is Monday the first day of the work week for me so I am dragging, already.

See ya!! :cool:

Hello ladies. I am elated to report a 2 pound loss. I ate more than usual last week, so I'm wondering if I have been stuck on this plateau because I wasn't eating enough. Get 4 points for Saturday and Sunday and I'm on track for 4 more today.

I spent all day yesterday putting away my winter clothes and getting out my summer - and now it's down in the 50's again and I need something warmer than a short sleeved dress or blouse. I was just sick of wearing winter clothes.

LOSSES:

Carri
Susan

CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS! NICE WORK! :cb: :high: :encore: :cheer:

Carri: I was just thinking about your dh yesterday wondering if the steroids had done the trick on his back. I am so glad they seem to be working! I hear you guys had a lot of people in town for the Star Wars convention or some such thing this last weekend and that George Lucas was in town. Now I just know you put on your Romulan suit and went..... :p

Susan: I know what you mean about the clothes. I put on capris and the temp dips 20 degrees so I am freezing then I put on a sweatshirt and by noon it is 70 and I am hot! Can't win I guess.

It is boring here today. I listened to a book on tape and read a book and i guess I will watch a movie until Jack gets home in another hour. I need to start working on my bridge rules, but my mind is just not on it today.

Hope everyone is having a good day and the snow is melting if you got any and the temps are rising if it is cold where you are!

Faye ;)

Hi all!! Faye -Actually I am a big fan of the whole Star Wars thing ( and so is dh and both our families ) and I knew that was in town but I couldnt bring myself to get dressed up, ha ha of course I would have been Princess Leah ( or maybe Jaba the Hut would be more appropriate for how I feel lately )... I saw some of the coverage on that thing and these people are serious, they really get into this...their costumes looked great, I hear most of them make their own...amazing...

It is cold here today, and I just want to get home and put on my old sweats and get lazy!!! I think it will be leftovers tonight ( dh made chili last night, it was that cold yesterday ), I just want to lay around on the couch!!

Talk to you all later!!!!

Hi all!

Glad to see so many people today! I got 4 points yesterday - did 40 mins on the bike and then tried some really hard leg lifts - lying prone on the floor, raising my legs in the air and slowly lowering them down, boy, do my abs hurt today! I'm going to have a washboard stomach if I keep those up!

CARRI - Excellent work on the 5lb loss - I know a good loss really motivates you to stay on track! Well done for getting back on track after your difficult time!

SUSAN - Another 2lb down! You will hit your goal weight in no time.

FAYE - Hey! Where is my congrats for my 3lb loss - Are you having another 'senior moment'? :lol: (Only joking hon! ;) )

Have a lovely evening,

Love Amanda x

TUESDAY: Today is Target Tuesday and our target this week is sweets. Many people believe sugar is evil. Though I don't, it is necessary that we control the intake of not only sugar but stuff with sugar in it because it is usually loaded with fat too! Let's watch what we eat with regards to sugar, girls!

PTS:

Amanda :bravo:

Amanda: Sorry, for missing your losses. Congratulations, that is just great. Hey, I said something to Carri about a Romulan suit and that is Star Trek not Star Wars so I am probably already ready for the old folks home.

Carri: Did you notice they had on the first two movies this weekend on tv? I remember my son being little and taking him to see them.

Jack has PLC classes the rest of the week so we get to get up an hour and half later, which is nice. He is making breakfast for himself so guess I should go and help him a little.

Faye :)

Hi all,

I got 3 points yesterday - had a late afternoon/early evening nap and missed my exercise session. I'm having a healthy day today, had a good walk and swim and egg and salad for lunch, and am just waiting for Nigel who is cooking my tea - pasta and pesto with veggies I think. :T

How are your allergies at the moment Faye - have you managed to get back on track yet?

Have a good evening all,

Love Amanda x

Afternoon all, just a quick pop in at the end of the work day ( almost anyway ), I know it is not Weds woe but I am having some severe jaw pain, all the way into my ear, just on my right side... I dont know whether to go to the Dr first of the dentist ... it is funny because no tooth actually hurts it is just in the upper and lower jaw area...any ideas?

Well I hope you all have a good evening, will check back in tomorrow...

WEDNESDAY: Today is Wednesday's Woes and it is our day to gripe.

PTS:

Amanda :cp:

Carri: It is probably too late to say anything now, but I would definitely have gone to the dr first. Jaw pain is one of the signs of heart attack and if I had jaw pain where my teeth didn't hurt and didn't have reason for it like I whacked my face or something, I think I would run not walk to the DR. I hope it is better today but if it isn't I would get in to see the dr asap.

Amanda: I am in the schlump right now and having to dig myself out. I am not depressed or anything, I just have to work on getting back a positive attitude and start working again, which I am not doing right now. Thanks for your concern. I truly appreciate it.

I hope everyone has a good day

Faye :)

Carri - go to the dentist - it might be TMJ. I've had a couple of bouts of that.

Okay - since we can gripe today - I'm really angry with myself. I ate my lunch yesterday. Then a group that was having a luncheon in the conference room came and said come eat with them - they had Italian deli and pastries - you guessed it...went and ate half a sub and a plate of pastries. They tasted great. But I'm the insulin resistant woman who is supposed to severely limit carbs. So today not only is the scale up but I feel terrible - sluggish and bloated. I actually had to wear pants with a stretch waistband. When will I ever learn? Today I'm have green tea, water, protein, veggies, fruit and yogurt.
