Just popping in...
 

Hello everyone :( I am sorry I kind of fell of the map. Skimming through it seems everyone is doing pretty well. I have stayed with my program and exercise like crazy...but I think I got a little lazy. Needless to say...my scale at home is wrong :mad: I am so mad. On May 2, doc said I weighed 283. Last month when I went to the doc, he said 280.5 (scale addict worked and worked and thought I was 270)...Guess what...Today I saw him again for a followup on my change in meds, etc.. and now I weigh 274. I guess it is going down. I have a pudgy family, I take Effexor, I have PCOS, and I am soooo disappointed because I thought, I must weight like 265 by now.... :( :(

It will be okay. I've lost a lot of inches, and I think with the toning workouts in between I am gaining muscle....maybe it evens out :shrug:

To make a long story short. I started on May 2nd at 283, it is July 20 and I'm 274 which is 9 whole pounds, which is okay, it is better than gaining 9 whole pounds.

Well I am going to get my discouraged butt back to work, and then down to the gym before I lose all control and start binging, I can feel it coming.

WELCOME to all Newbies
HELLO to all
PLEASE kick me in the rear because I gotta cut come carbs (they're sticking to my behind).

Hugs to all,
L2L :)

LOoking: dont be discouraged... the slower u lose it the longer it will stay gone.. cuz its really fat... not the water weight u lose by starving yourself!!

pouting here... my honey cant come till next week.. sigh.. he had to go to Dallas... oh well thats another week and more pounds gone b4 he sees me again!!

been fightin the stomach bug here... yet again! but still forced myself to go exercise... i'll be back later...

Hi ladies. It's pinky here. :lol: I went to work today whether I should have or not. I also went to the gym and had a good work out. Good to see Lisa back. Glad you had a good time in South Dakota and were able to show that rude horseback riding lady that she was out of line with the weight issue.

L2L- what's going on with your partner's nephew?

It's hot as :censored: here. Hope you guys are keeping cool. TTYL

I had my first craving last night. I could'nt figure out why all the sudden I was having cravings when so far I have been fine. I went to work and was telling my friend and she reminded me about Uncle Tom. Oh Yeah!!! :^: I'm still on the plan and feeling good now that I have been exercising again.

Lisa - Glad your back and had fun. I'm really looking forward to see the pictures.

Petra - I know what you mean about the heat. It was 108 here on Sunday :hot:. Today was over 100 again. I did the elliptical this afternoon and thought I was going to die. Way to hot. Even with air!!

Curly - Sorry honey can't come but it will make next week all that much better :devil:.

Lookin - You are doing so good. You did'nt gain it over night so you won't lose it over night but you truly are doing a great job. Nine pounds gone forever. :D

Jennie - I hope you had a good lunch and a good dinner. :lol:

Hotcup - I'm glad you got out of the job that made you so unhappy. :D

Tea - Yes I am still weighing once a month at curves. I was supposed to weigh yesterday but told them "no thank you" we will do that next week when TOM leaves. :smug:

TTYL

helloooo PICs !!! Just a quick fly through before dinner. Things are going pretty well for me. My weight loss seems to be stalled.. but that is okay, I have been so busy and seem to be eating out more than usual. We also have family coming to visit on the weekend for a couple of weeks, so if I can maintain my weight while they are here I will be happy..happy !!

Welcome back Lisa, sounds like you had a wonderful holiday.

Jennie, glad that you got your undies sorted out today :lol: Good luck with the retirement dinner.

Hey Pinky Petra.. glad you got back to your regular schedule, hopefully the pink eye will clear up soon.

Curly, that guy of yours is going to be so surprised when he sees you ;)

L2L, glad to see you again .. we miss the laughter. You are doing so well.. just think of all the hard times you have been going through and how you have still come through them all 9 lbs lighter. YAHOO to you !!

Hotcup, thank you for saving us from the 2nd page !! As Jennie said, pretzels are nearly as bad as chips.. just have to watch the salt (water retention).. or at least I find them to be rather salty.

Okay gang, hubby says dinner is up. Keep on keeping on and I will TTYS :D

Yee-Haw - Back on the wagon
 

Okay - Im remotivated. Thank you everyone for being there for me, even though I dropped the ball on posting. I think of you all the time. I have sign I made on that foam craft stuff that says "PIC" in puffy paint on the top of my tv that I workout to my tapes on...so I remember that if ever I should trip and fall (literally), you are all right there with me.

As far as my girlfriend's nephew, he is going to the other sister. She signed over custody to her (the one that is taking the 4-year-old daughter as well). Which is okay too. That sister is amazing, she basically raised the 4yo anyways, and for that little munchkin to actually tell me that "its okay if me and brother live with auntie because momma drinks too much beer and keeps on going to jail." Both babies have placement with their aunt with no visitation from the parents and both kids will do just fine there. We are heading up there this weekend to see them both.

I am disappointed, but at least I know that they will both be safe, and the 4yo is starting some child therapy to work on some things, and she seems to like the gal she is going to. She calls her 'the seceret lady' because she can tell her things that make her mad and sad and she doesn't get a spanking. Doesn't that about kill you. My heart just hurts.

Anyway, they are both in our lives, and we can see them both and pick them up anytime. But they are safe.

Bless you all,
Love, L2L

Hi Gals
 

Looking2lose: I'm so glad those babies are going to be okay. It breaks my heart to hear them say things like that, having to grow up so fast just to survive. But now, maybe they can actually be kids. I'm just thankful they're getting a second chance.

Just checking in this morning. But I have to cut it short and sign off. Too many things to do before work. I'm hoping I'll get the console at work and I'll check in from there. But when I have a coworker on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, I have to share the computer. I like Fridays and Saturdays better because I work alone and don't have to share :lol:

TTFN. I hope you're all doing wonderful.

Hi Folks, just a quick check in. The food yesterday was a bit much. I had Indian food for lunch and did well if I wasn't going to be eating a big dinner but then the retirement dinner. No WW friendly things on the menu. I opted for the Salmon and didn't even finish it but it was in this bed of creamy crab meat (I think) it was really good but I'm sure like 50000 calories. But hey, one day won't kill me. I'm back on the wagon today, counting points and staying in my range.

L2l, I'm glad to hear that the kiddies are doing well. I like the idea of the PIC plaque, I might put one on my TV to keep me going.

Hi everyone else, I'll check back in later.
Jennie

disappointed in myself
 

Hi everyone.. Its been soooooo long since I've posted.. (i;m a very bad girl)... well needless to say.. I've almost gained back every pound I lost.. I just cant seem to get motivated to do something about this.. It makes me sad, because I think of how good I did, when I first posted "looking for a partner in crime" .. and I dont know why I can't get back into gear.. I started trying to cut out crap on Monday, and I did good Monday and Tuesday.. but on Wednesday.. we went to a mexican rest and I had to crispy tacos. refried beans, mexican rice, guacaomle, and chips w/salsa.. I just bought a bunch of raw and frozen veggies that I can steam and grill and our freezer is stocked up with chicken breast.. my new game plan is to eat as many veggies as I can to keep me full.. and throw in some protein here and there.. and have some wheat pasta as a filler if the veggies and chicken arent cutting it.. and I plan to start using my treadmill.. I hope you forgive me for not being around.. but I really need your support.. so wish me luck..


I love you all

Peeking in from work
 

Hello :wave: At work and a captive audience. :tantrum: Can't go anywhere. I'll try not to ramble on and on and fill this space and YOUR head up with my mindless prattle :blah: :blah: :blah:

Deerod: I'm sorry you're feeling so bad, but you'll get it going again. You're the PIC author! We need you.

Jennie934: :mag: Hi there. How's it going?

TeaElleBee: I'm sorry about your stall out. But I think you're attitude (despite or IN spite of it) is great! :encore: Keep it up.

MomX3: Nope, no doubt about it, Uncle Tom & Aunt Flow don't make very good house guests :stars: , but they keep on coming back anyway. :lol:

Petra: My Mama swore that the cure for a sty in your eye was to rub a wedding band on it. I wonder if that would work for pink eye. Hey, can't hurt, eh? I hope it clears up soon.

Curlylocks: I'm sorry you're missing your sweetie. I hope you feel better soon. I had a tummy problem too, but mine wasn't a bug. Take care of yourself.

Lisa WY : Welcome back. Sounds like you had a wonderful time (except for the rude horse lady). I'm normally a mild mannered box turtle, but I can turn into a hissing, p-0'd snapping turtle in seconds if someone pushes me. And especially go from Zero to ***ch in six seconds when it's a rude person. I hope your pictures turn out glorious and you choose to share some with us.

Well, ladies. If I don't stop now, I'll just keep writing and writing and writing and writing................. :blah: :blah:

Evening ladies!! Well I am an uncle again. My sister had a baby boy today!! I just got back from curves and then hopped on the treadmill for 35 minutes. Aunt Flo is really causing me problems this month with the cramps :devil:.

Dee - Welcome Back Girlie. :grouphug: You have been missed. Are you ready to climb back on the horse 'cause I'm ready to give you a push. :lol:

Hotcup - I won't push you I promise. I don't want to be bit. :^:

Jennie - I like your attitude. Get right back on. Everyone deserves a treat once in awhile. :smug:

Lookin - I'm sorry you did'nt get the little boy but it's probably a good thing to keep the siblings together. You sounded pretty excited about getting him though. I love the concept of the PIC sign. What a motivator. ;)

Tea - Don't worry you will become unstuck. :D

I hope everyone has a great night.

Good Evening Partners !!

A fairly quiet day here... getting ready for relatives to visit so have been cleaning house since I got home from work. Now just checking in and sneezing my head off... dust who needs it !!

Mom ~ congrats on the addition to your family... just one question.. how can you be an uncle :?: or is there something you don't want us to know :lol:

Hotcup ~ you never ramble.. I always love your posts !! Unlike myself, you always have stuff to say. Sometimes I feel like all I have to talk about is the weather :^:

Dee ~ good to see ya girl !! How is the new job going ?

Jennie ~ sorry to hear that the retirement party didn't go so well on the food side of life. Get yourself right back on track and you will do just fine on your WI.

L2L ~ sorry that you missed out on the addition to your family, but on a bright side sounds like he is going to a good home. Wow, a PIC puffy sign... now that's gotta keep ya going !!

To all the other partners.. hope your day is going well !!

Well that's all for me folks. I say TGIF.. the weekend is upon us :D

Tea - I have 3 sisters. When one of us has a boy we become an uncle when we have girls we are aunts. Just a silly family thing. :dizzy:

Howdy All,
I wrote a wonderful reply this morning and my power went out..we are not sure why. LOL I was so busy at work and no time to post.

Tonight, we went out for dinner. I didn't make good choices. We had Mexican. I did ride my bike afterwards and went to the High School Track. I managed to run/jog a mile on it before it got dark. I was happy with that and I will work out tomorrow night at the gym. I am hoping I didn't do too much damage, I have been so good on program. I did manage to get in my 120oz of water today and my eyes are floating. LOL

I will do personals in the am... I need to hit the hay.

Oh about the horse lady, yes she was rude but in a nice way. We still had a great time and probably would go back there but they need to post the weight limits on their website and I am going to send her an email suggesting that. We actually only met 1 very rude person in South Dakota...it was a resturant and I will tell you about that later. I will post pics on M's website over the weekend. We had a blast on the horses and dave got some great pictures of us. We were sad he couldn't come with us but I don't think he was that sad. LOL
Hugs and Blessings

Hi everyone. My internet wasn't working last night for some reason. Glad to see everyone is still alive. Dee-we are especially glad to see you back. It's always hard to get back on track after you've fallen off the wagon, but like they say in the Nike commercial "just do it!" I'm another pound down this week. I seem to have gotten into a consistent 1 lb per week pattern which I can live with. I have to get to work so I"ll talk to you guys later.
