I'm doing pretty well. I'm having a hard time getting my exercise in today. I just don't have the ummph to do it. I am doing good food wise. I had 1522 calories yesterday. I have had around 700 so far today. I had arby's for lunch. I have close to 1000 left for the rest of the day. I'm so motivated and know I can do this.
YOu all are doing well. You just have to remember the end picture.

I'm glad everybody is doing great. Yesterday wasn't good. I went to the movies and ate too much buttered popcorn. My stomache hurt all day afterwards. I'm back on track today though.
Everybody keep up the good work!

Hey ladies, how's everyone? I did pretty good yesterday, and today I haven't eaten much, but what I have eaten wasn't too good, Doritos and a bologna sandwich and a Pepsi, ugh, not good at all!! Weigh in is in the morning, hopefully, I won't be up, if I lose, my husband gives me 10 bucks to add to my "skinny jar", for new clothes, or anything I want. Well, i hope you all have a super night and a great day tomorrow. Gotta go change, just got out of the pool! Bye!!

I got on the scale this morning andi t read 253. I'm down one pound. I'm not changing my ticker yet. I will do that when I reach 250. I'm shooting for 250 next Saturday. I'm going to try my hardest not to weigh everyday. I've not been doing bad but I haven't been reaching my goals. My goals for next week are as follows and start tomorrow. I have company coming today:

1. exercise on my elliptical for at least 20 minutes everyday
2. drink 60 oz water
3. no pop at all
4. eat between 1500-1700 calories everyday

WTG Shelley and Donna....keep up the good work!

Hey...where is everybody???

I am going out of town tomorrow so I won't be back on here until thursday or friday. I hope things are going well for all of you.

Have a GREAT 4th of July

[squiggly]

I'm doing okay today. I've ate to much but we went to Cracker Barrel to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Yeah! WE made it! My son ran in the soap box derby this morning and we went to it. I won't be eating to much more the rest of the day. I went pop free yesterday but unfortunately that isn't the case today due to being my anniversary. My exercise was all the walking I did at the derby and car show. I hope you all are having a happy 4th!

Well, Kristy, you told me to join you here, but I'm not quite at 100 lbs to lose. Hope I'm still OK to hang out.

First name: Shalia

Geographical location: Utah. Yuck.

Age: 25

Marital Status: Married for 7 years. Most of them happy. *giggle*

Children/Ages: One. He's 7. Yep, the math is obvious there. *grin*

Occupation: Electronics inspector. It's not glamorous, I assure you.

Pets: Do fish count? Didn't think so either.

Hobbies/Interests: Reading, singing, internet, Dance Dance Revolution, occationally bike riding, er... I know I have more, I just can't think of them right now.

Height: 5'9

Eye/Hair Color: Brown hair and eyes that are so dark they look black.

Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: What's my start date here? Right about then. <Who needs a memory?>

Starting Weight: 242

Present Weight: 226 <need to update my happy ticker thingy. Whee!>

Goal Weight: 150 <I'm dreaming low. That'd be back to nearly high school weight again. And thinner than prepregnancy weight. But a girl can dream, right? >

Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: Mental health meds that cause weight gain. *sigh*

Following any specific plan: Watch what I eat, eat less fast food, and count the calories. I'm personally liking www.dietpower.com better than fitday because it's more realistic, but you *do* have to pay for it. But it's a much better program for me.

What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: Motivation. I cannot BELIEVE I let myself get this big! WAAH!! And finding a way that I *like* to exercise.

Something you're passionate about (besides food): Singing. Oh, and Clay Aiken. *giggles like a schoolgirl*

Worst craving(s): Cliche as it might be, I'm gonna say chocolate. With ice cream a *very VERY* close second.

Favorite healthy thing to eat: Fruit. Of almost any time. Almost as good as sweets. I've got cherries now. Love cherries.

Favorite type of music: Contemporary Christian. And Clay Aiken. *grin*

Favorite movies: Typical chick flick fare. I love "How to lose a guy in 10 days". And if you've never seen "Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human" <no, it's really not *that* type of movie> you are missing out. Rent it.

Favorite TV shows: They just cancelled it. Judging Amy. Followed by Law & Order SVU.

Last book you read: The Pern books by Anne McCaffrey. For about the 10 zillionth time. And the Harry Potter books. For about the 20 zillionth time.

Last thing you ate: Fruit Loops cereal. On my way to grab the cherries when I'm done typing here.

Last time you exercised: Last night for about 30 minutes playing Dance Dance Revolution.

What are some of the things you can't wait to do after you reach your goal weight: Buy clothes I feel sexy in. Be skinnier than my husband. Weigh LESS than my husband. Have energy. Look in the mirror and be proud of what I accomplished.

Anything else you would like to share with us: I think I may go exercise rather than cherry. Last question got me motivated.

An Inspirational Quote: Most of my quotes are demotivators. Sorry!

[Shalia]

How did my smilies end up holding flags? Weird.

ETA: Oh, sure! NOW they're not holding flags and I look like an idiot! *sigh*

[eeyoredja]

Hey everybody, yesterday was my hubby's 30th birthday, yep, he's a 4th of july baby, lol. We had a huge family cookout, but I was really good, well until the birthday cake, lol, just had a small piece. Then we came back to my inlaws for fireworks with my 10 year old sister in law, yes, she and my husband are 20 years apart!! It was a good day, and I am proud of myself. Hope everyone else had a good holiday!!

[quyana21]

Donna: Way to go! If I were at somebody's bday party I would have fallen off the wagon, hard.

Shalia: It's great to have you. I don't think having exactly 100 pounds to lose is a requirement for this group. Welcome

Shelley: How is it going kicking the pop habit? Going cold turkey must be hard.

Felicia: Are you on vacation? If so, I hope you had a great time.

Vanessa: How are you doing with getting your exercise? That's my downfall, I never have the energy to do anything. What kind of exercising are you doing?

Kristy: How are you doing? I see you haven't posted in awhile. I hope all is well.

We were supposed to go to a bbq on the fourth, but my son got sick and we just decided to stay home. So instead of burgers and dogs we ordered chinese takeout. I got steamed dumplings and hot and sour soup. I'm not sure how healthy this is but I bet it's much healthier than the General Tso's chicken I usually get.
Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I've been so exhausted with the little guy and work. When I do get some free time for myself I usually just go right to sleep.
I've started walking during my lunch hour at work. So far it's 20 minutes a day and I've gone for two days now. Please wish me luck. It's gonna be hard to keep it going.
Anyway, I hope everybody is doing GREAT!
Keep up the good work

Karla
