Morning my friends :coffee:. I tried to get on last night but my computer was down :mad:. I hate that! I went to curves last night and decided to weigh myself because of my clothes feeling looser and .... I have lost another 6 lbs :dancer:. I am so excited. I had to call dh at work and let him know :smug:.

Moon - Good job on getting your exercise in. I'm sorry about the whole school thing. It would be hard for me to but PLEASE don't let it hold you back from going for your dream. You can do it!!! Lean on us if you have a bad day :grouphug:. Don't let others influence how you lead your life.


Annie - I don't know about you but I get run down when the weather changes so drastically. You know rain one day in the 80's the next. Is that what's happening there? Anyway Awesome job on your exercise. Keep it up :strong:.

Sky - WOW 5 lbs :cheer:. Great job!!! I am so glad you got your stepson involved and he did'nt even complain. Sometimes they do suprise you don't they?

kpe - I bet you are so looking forward to those 6 weeks off!!!!

Petra - Awesome job on the weight loss :bravo:. You are doing it and I am so proud of you.

Jennie - Great job on the exercise :jig:. You literally are working your butt off!! I tend to get hungry if I eat bread in the morning I think it's because of all the sugar they use in that stuff. I hope you made it through the day o.k.

Hotcup - Good to see you girl :wave:.

Dee - You can do it!! We have all been where you are now but don't give up. You are strong and I know you can do this. Just look at everything else you have been through. This is only food. Just fuel for your body. Remember one step at a time. :goodvibes

Well I better go get the baby so dh can take a nap. He is working from 3pm to 11:30pm.

Congratulations on all the POUNDAGE lost! Everyone is posting some whopping LBS lost! I'm very proud of you all. I know that when I weighed on Monday I was up two. I'd hate to see what it is now. But I'm back on track and I'll be working doubly hard to catch up with you all. I've got enough equipment to do a Curves Circuit here now. But I'm calling mine, ready for this? "Lumps". LOL. I need to work even harder to catch back up. Was doing great and lost it for five days. Reading all your posts has given me my Mojo back. Thanks and congratulations all.

I can combine them into 1 picture for u tonite!! Im a graphics wiz!

everyone is losing but me... :( im still stuck.. sigh o well one day!

I just had the most yummy lunch.. a low carb wheat wrap, with mustard, honey ham and 1 pc of swiss cheese and then i nuked it so it was warm .. hahaha i dreamed of eatin it last nite .. u know u been dieting tooooo long when u are dreaming about what u will have for lunch the next day HAHAHAHA

I dream about my food all the time curlylocks. when I am planning the next day I am like ohhh that sounds so good. gets my mouth wtering
I went to Quiznos for lunch today I don't know if you guys have that where you are but in terms of fast food, it is pretty good quality but I always shyed away because I figured it must be high cal well I looked up the turky sandwhich I get and it is really big, no need for chips (unlike at subway where the 6 inch is so light and airy it feels like you havn't eaten) and it is 350 calories or 7 points. that is so good to me because it tastes so much better than subway and is only I think 2 points more. yeah, I have a new fast option for when I am on the run.

Sunshine, I am so jelous, you are losing so fast. I wish I could have a 6 pound loss. what are you doing?

And Momx3- 6 pounds for you to what is up with that! that is so good. I'm a little scared for my WI. I am going to the gym again today after work. I got to work off my weekend indescretions. heehee.

oh wait and Petra- 7 pounds that is great. it takes me like a month to lose 7 pounds. but at least I'm loseing right that is what I keep saying ot my self.

dee- keep it up, you are in a good mindset to keep going. so we'll be loseing like these ladies.

Clipclop, good job on the exam but yuck back to work! at least you get paid to be there right?

Hotcup- I wish I had a lumps at my house. :lol:

Oh got to get back to work.

have a good one eveyone and keep it up!~

lmao guess i better get back to work now...

Thank you all for your support, I think I will just put school off till the Fall semester which is 4 mo away. I'm going to study Business, I've completed a semester before that's why I know how the classes are set up and what kind of desks they have, but I decided I need to go back.

Congrats SUNSHINE! way to go :bravo:

I exercised early today, :D I just figured if I didn't do it right then and there I would put it off, so I walked 1mile WATP. Congrats to all of those getting their exercise in :D Wish I had a LUMPS around here were I can go work out ;) I went to check out a Curves once and as soon as you open the door there was a table with punch and cookies :?: the lady said they only had it out because it was Valentines, maybe they were using it as motivation.

Any one else have a WW scale? I think my scale is going loony :( it said I was at 328 this morning and now it says 330.

Hello my little PIC-A CHICKA'S !!! How is everyone today? I was a whirlwind this morning. A cleaning whirlwind that is....vacumming, cleaning bathrooms, tidy'ng up rooms, packing up dishes leftover from our yardsale....and the list goes on. Nice to have a clean house once again!! haha....dh is away working the weekend and with the kids off, not sure what we'll do for supper. I made this awesome dinner last night, "smothered pierogies". yum yum...only 7 pts, my ds even had seconds!!

Today we had the bug guy come out and spray our house for ants. Since we got home from our camping trip....ants started to appear. First day it was only a few, second day it was a couple dozen and then HOLY COW!!! :fr: HUNDREDS the next morning. I've NEVER NEVER had ants before but apparently, the worse thing you can do is to kill them before an exterminator treats them. They go back to their nest and re-egg and come back STRONGER!!! Well within minutes of the bug guy coming...they were limping off. YEAH!!! Nasty little bugs. Tommorow we have a patio contractor coming to rip up our 10x10 concrete pad and then pour the mould for a brand new spanking 18x30 pad. I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!! :cb: Now we'll finally get to put more than our picnic table on it!!! WOOHOOO...pretty sad when you're excited about house stuff, but thats my thrill for the day!!! :dance:

I just have been doing low fat foods! I never miss anything I like!! If I am at a party I will eat what they have and even a slice of cake! It has been quite easy! I exercise too! I do 50 minutes of Sweatin to the oldies and I usually walk every night for 30 minutes!! Water Water Water!!
Example menu:
Breakfast: Cereal with Skim milk
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with FF mayo and FF chips or a salad
Snack: Twizzlers
Dinner: Meat or tuna helper, Potato, veggie
I use FF butters and milks etc...

Good Luck yopu can do it!!


Curlylocks~ That would be great Thanks!

Ok, who ate my post??? I think my computer did last night because I can't find it. LOL

Howdy ALL!

Today is a beautiful day in my neighborhood! All is quiet at my office. Alexi's mom called me at 8:30am and wanted to pick Mallissa up from daycare this morning. LOL Day 1 of summer vacation and Alexi is bored. LOL Going to be a long summer! So I am childless for the night. Dh and I are going to celebrate our 7th anniversary.....does "that" count as exercise? wink wink. LOL

I ate crappy yesterday... well....last night. I had the points but should of made wiser choices. I did buy the fruit salad at Wendy's(which is yummy) and had a small amount but really wanted a hamburger and yes I did. I used some of my flex points so I should be ok. I normally don't use too many of them. I also didn't get much exercise in, we had RAIN again. I felt yucky in the tummy and I think it had to do with not eating a burger in a while. Today is much better.

I did go to the biggest garage sale during my lunch today. Normally I spent about $100.00 there but today..my grand total was $10.00. I found some kids dress patterns that had Cabbage Patch doll clothes with them. I want to make Mallissa's dolls some dresses. I really need to finish Mallissa's Easter dress...hopefully I will have some time soon.(ended up buying her one. LOL) Paid about 10 cents each for the patterns and bought a bunch of kids books for less than a buck. Also got one of those things a baby lays under to watch for 50 cents and a baby swing for a $1.00. I think I can attach it to Mallissa's swing set. A few other odds and ends. I probably will donate the books to Mallissa's school. I don't go through the clothes or anything and they didn't have any exercise equipment other than a old crappy bike for $5.00. If it is still there tomorrow when I try to go back..I might get that.

It is so great everyone is losing weight. We are all doing so good. I will find out how much I lost tomorrow. I did sneak and weigh myself at work but I will post official results tomorrow. I know I lost this week!! Umm...I hope the WW scale is as kind to me. LOL

Curlylocks: I used to eat the chicken salad from Arby's..although I don't like chix I did like that. WOW I can't believe how many points that would be. LOL
Mix it up some and you will go over the hump!!

Ut oh boss came in...didn't stay long. LOL

Jennie: We have Quzinos but it is off the beaten path so I forget about it. They do have good food. In the winter..I love their chix alfredo..but I pick out the chix. LOL I don't want to know how many WW points it is. LOL

Hotcup: Don't stress too much with the scale..jump back on and you will feel so much better! Being off work is not normal to me....I have to have my normal for me to do well. That is why i don't stress about the weekends. I have a harder time staying on plan but I do watch my portions.

Sunshine: Great LOSS!!! WOW!! Dh and I went to the garage sale together and he said to me...honey..are those the pants Mallissa and I bought you for mother's day.. I said yes..he said you need to throw them away. They are too big now. LOL YIPPEEEEE I said..well you are going to have to buy me new ones. LOL Congrats girl!

Mox3: Yippee on your weight loss!! WOW for you too! I call Dh too on my way home from WW and I probably would call him at work too. LOL

ClipClop: yea on the exam!! Are you talking Accounting? I do it for a living but really had to think about it last time I took a class. LOL

Deerod: Girl, jump back on the wagon...DOn't stress about the gain. Sometimes it is impossible to stay on program. You know what happened..get passed it and move on!! With that said..did you drink your water today? LOL

Petra: WOW, WOW, WOW...you get the triple crown. LOL That is wonderful! I think TOM does stall the weight loss. Before hystro...I would have weeks were I was perfect on program and gainned and the next week..I would lose big time. I think your body has to re adjust its self. That is normal talk and not doc talk. LOL

Annie: Keep chugging away! I feel so much better to exercise...I even sleep better!

I want a job where I get summers off. LOL THat is our busy season. I work in an office by myself so I am the only one that brings in food. My guys are never here..if they are ...we are not making any money. LOL

Well..I am out of here!! I will post my weight loss tomorrow...Well..it better be a loss or you guys will have to pick me up off the ground. LOL

wendys hamburgers seem to be the lesser of evils as far as fast food hamburgers ... i found some links for thier nutrition info and posted them a few entries back

Hi Pic Chicks... how goes it?
 

I'm a Captive Turtle again (at work) :p . But I won't complain too much. Especially since I just had five days off in a row and only work today and tomorrow before I have another week end. Those days off were great, Pooh Bear and I had a great time, but I sure "ate like I was on vacation". :( I'm really mad at myself. But I can't fix it by kicking myself over and over. I'm back on track, eating sensibly, drinking my water, doing my "Caged Turtle Circles" until my shift is over and then I'll work out here at the office gym before crawling home to hopefully get into my awaiting bed. I normally do a mile on the big, intimidating treadmill, (and that's a hard push for me and my short turtle legs) but tonight in order to atone for my eating transgressions, I think I'll try to do more. Two maybe? Egad! :tread: We'll see. I'm not promising anything. Eleven-thirty could possibly hold an unforseen weakness or uncontrolable whinings that prevent me from my task at hand.

My sister (The Exercise ****) called me on my cell a few minutes ago and said she hated me, she'd just finished her "Lumps" circuit at my house. :lol: We always tell each other "I hate you!" when working out gets to us. It's a stress reliever. :goodvibes Works for us, anyway.

You all are doing great. I'm so very impressed with all the poundage lost. Awesome. Deerod, you and I get the cattle prod and we're back at it. C'mon gal, you and me, back up on the proverbial wagon. We're all going to win at this game. I just know it. I've got my Barenaked Athletics Hoody hanging in my living room. It's my ONE-derland Reward and I want it SO BAD! :crossed: It would ROCK if I could wear it to the beach next week, but uhhh like that's not gonna happen. But I WILL get in that hoody soon. With your help, all of you, I'll make it. I love this place :^:

Hi everyone. I'm soooo glad it is Friday. I went to the grocery store today after work and it didn't seem like I bought that much but it was like $100. All that protein is expensive! LOL

Congrats momX3 and Sunshine on your losses. We'll be waiting to hear from you tomorrow, Lisa.

Dee and Java: the important thing is to get back on track and don't look back. We all have our slips (dee, did you read about my Starbucks fiasco?)

curlylocks: I don't think you were here when I was having trouble losing but I couldn't lose on Southbeach either. I know some people do fantastic on that diet but I think it was just too many carbs for my sluggish metabolism or something. One of my friends who has been on Atkins for 2 years with a great weight loss told me that she used to dream about carbs in the beginning. I had some terrible cravings during the first two weeks but I don't remember any dreams.

angel: I get the perimeter of my house sprayed once a quarter for whatever is in season and so far no major problems. I wish I was getting a new patio. I had to get a new sewer line this year because I have an old tree out front and it's long hairy roots got into the old one. (My house was built in 1940). That was some big bucks, they had to come with a backhoe and basically destroyed half my front yard. The landscapers came last week and put it back together but I still don't have new sidewalk yet. No more big projects this year.

Clipclop-congrats on your exam. Are you done for the summer yet?

Talk to you all later.
