Food Good
Water Good
2nd day without me beloved scales!!!

Good luck with the mediation today Flower...I'll say a prayer for you...and keep my fingers crossed for a favourable outcome!

Splashes - STOP SCREAMING ARGGGG!!! it'll be alright, just stick to the good food, water and exercise...you know you can do it!! especially now your compnay has gone!! Now breath....and again....sit down, deep breath again....there gone...i can carry on the good work...I have my friends at SAA to suppport me!!! Feeling better now??? lol

Well i'm enjoying a half day from work as my little boy i support is off school today as he bump his head in the playground yesterday and is taking it easy today...so i'm off to make some chicken soup for hubby as he is off work today with a cold!! (Men!!)

Hello gang....Hope the mediations went well Flower!!! I'm still waiting on mine...ex's suck the big ones!!

Tulip...hope the little guy and the big guy are better!

I've breathed deep!lol Haven't been on the scales since monday...a whole week!! ToM too so I DON"T want to go near the scales with all this water gain...When are we getting on? Feb something?

Xer where you hiding chickie????

Working tons of OT again...silly me...but I'm walking home and it's a 40 minute walk or shorter depending on the music I listen to!lol

See everyone tomorrow nite!!

I'm still alive! Haven't really had much to update about, I guess, and I've been pretty busy!

I wish I had the will power to join you gals on the not weighing for three weeks. Unfortunately, even if I did, I couldn't. :P Right now my mom, my aunt, and I are doing kind of a friendly competition weightloss contest. We weigh in on Fridays and see who lost the most weight. The two people who didn't lose as much have to put $5 into the "pot" and the person who "won" that week doesn't have to. At the end of two months whoever lost the most weight in total gets the money. =) I think I have the advantage, though, because I weigh more than both of them and have more to lose! Hehe.

I wanted to ask you guys.. are any of you taking a multivitamin? If so, do you like it? Can you check the back for animal ingrediants for me? I bought some Flintstone vitamins the other day (because I love them, hehe) but when I got home and looked on the label I discovered they had gelatin in them. Blah!

I need to exercise more. I've been out shopping and walking around a lot, I guess, but when I don't think of it as exercising it doesn't seem like I actually did. Anyone else have that problem? It's not really detering my weightloss, though. Down to 173 now!

Well done on the 173 Xer...keep up the good work and you'll be winning that pot of money!!!

Well it's 5 days since i weighed myself...CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT splashes??? unbeliveable...not saying i haven't been tempted but i am determined. Well done on your abstinance (sp?) too!! We're a third of the way there!!! I'm going to weigh myself on Monday 6th Feb. which is just over the 3 week mark!!!!!

Flower - how did you get on...good news????

Well i've got to go and be a taxi driver for my teenage daughter and her friends....hopefully she will return the favour when she passes her test at the end of this year!!!

Hope you've all had a good weekend...see you monday!

Hello everyone!!

Xer congrats on the loss! And I like the Pot idea..but I got noone to do that with!lol I go to the dr.s next wednesday to find out the final assessment on my healed hipl!!l woohoo!!

Tulip...taxi...lucky you!! I haven't gone near my scale other than to move it to sweep around it!! We can do this!!!

Monday morning and still no scales insight, I'm coping quite well also.
Food good (gone off my food as i've been suffering with flu)
Water good
Exersice - NONE!!! - see excuse above lol

Holy cow, gals. I'm dropping weight like crazy. 171 this morning! Maybe I WILL be able to make that 169 before the boy comes home. It's probably mostly water weight, though, so not going to get my hopes up .. and not going to be too disapointed if it goes away tomorrow. ;)

But yes.. he's coming home this Saturday! I'm so excited! Going shopping with my girlfriend on Friday to pick out something hot to wear. Eee.

Still horrible on exercise, good on eating. Probably wont be exercising much at all this week since I have finals and.. we know how that goes. Making some hummus for a healthy snack to keep me from breaking out the chips while studying!

I hope you're all doing well! I'm excited for you to see what your progress is after you step on the scales, girls! I think my problem with not weighing all the time is.. I start thinking "Well, I should lose at least this much.." and when I don't I'm disapointed. It also keeps me from splurging. ;D

Ohhhhhhhhhh THe fluuuuuuuuu ICKYYYY but always a great way to lose weight..sad to say....

Finals..ickkkyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I'm a stress eater...so I'd be hard pressed not to pull out the tater chips!! Kudos to you Xer!! AND WOOHOO ON THE WEIGHTLOSS!! Let us know what you buy on the shopping trip!!

Today was my do nothing day. And that's pretty well what I did other than take the doggies for their walks...Food ok...water ok...exercise...welllll ..hehehe

Tuesday and still no scales...arn't i doing well??? Its amazing, I don't think i've gone this long without them. I will be so dissapointed if i haven't lost anything or only a little in the three weeks!!!

Food - good
Water - on target to hit my goal before bedtime
No going to mention the last one!!!! lol

I'm passed wearing HOT clothes so it'll be good to hear what you bought...dont' forget to tell us Xer!

Splashes - a do nothing day?? what a great idea, think i'll have to have one of those...soon!

bye

I played hooky from work today...feels sooo good...I do that once a year...just for me...it rained here and it's icy...

Water is good, food is good, exercise? yeah right...

But I did get my housework done!lol

Tulip...we're NEVER past Hot Clothes...We just change our Version of HOT as we get older...10 years ago it was mini skirts and sexy silk blouses for me..now it's a really nice dress that shows a bit of leg via a slit, or some really nice pants with a sparkly top that shows my shoulders and my back...It's all in what your version of Hot is!!

See everyone tomorrow nite!

why are they two of my last message??? :dunno:

Anyhoo - today i did something really bad :sorry: :sorry: :sorry: :stress: :stress: :stress: :o :o :cry: :cry:

I bought some really super duper all singing all dancing scales, they were a bargain down from £44.99 to £13.99 It was too good a bargain to pass up...well i set them up and i truelly wasn't going to use them, but then i did!!! :( :cry: :cry: :cry: and the worst of it is...i'e only lost 3/4 of a pound in a WEEK :eek: :eek: :tantrum: :tantrum: I am so cross with myself it's unbelieveable!!!

oh well tomorrow is another day!:mad:

oh dear i've just lost my post, I submitted my reply and nothing's come up??? It was the one where i confessed too!!!

I'll give it a while and see if it re-appears..if not i'll have to confess again!

A - ha it turned up...did'nt see spashes post either so it must have been having a silly half hour!!

oh well - my secrets are out and you have a few more posts from me that you expected!!!

see you all tomorrow (so to speak!)

SINGING SCALES??? What will they think of next...and Actually Tulip..the weigh in doesnt' count...you were only checking to make sure they worked!! So you are still back on track!!lol

Still sick..one more day off work...but eating has been good...water soso..exercise next to nil!!

Hm.. well I knew the 171 wasn't going to last long! Lol. I need to stop weighing myself so much! :( Since tomorrow is our weigh in day for our contest, I'll just do really well today and weigh in tomorrow.. and then no more scale until next Friday. Think I can do it?

Two days until my boy comes home! I'm so excited.

That sounds like an awesome deal for a new scale, Tulip! I wouldn't get too discouraged, though. Did you check your weight with your previous scales? They may be a little different in what they tell you you weigh and that could be it. And even if it's not, oh well! Still doing awesome. :)

I've gone for an hour walk the last few days with my friend. Been a good way to relieve stress from finals, but so far I've done good on mine! I'm thinking that my exercise is going to go back downhill for a while once my boyfriend is home. The only way I can think to change that is if I get up early and exercise then.. but I've NEVER been able to get out of bed early! LOL

Thanks splashes.. i knew i could rely on you to give me the truth.....I wasn't weighing myself..just checking the scales...and they are much higher than my normal bathroom scales actually....nice try Xer!!!!! lol

I know your hearts are in the right place splashes and Xer, but i need to face up to reality...I am... and i quote my new scales...Overfat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) i Am trying soooooooooooooooo hard to keep on target!!! failing that i'm ready for throwing in the towel and living off my new cook book my bestest friend has just bought me..."cafe cakes and biscuits" wot do you think?????
But probs i won't

C u all tomorrow
11

PS - didn't answer anyone's mail.....Xer... if your boys home you will probally not want to eat and be love stuck....enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Splashes - You weren't sick, you told us you played hooky........ you owe it to me to enjoy it!!!!!!!!!! I am living my single life through you......make it count splashes!!!!!!!!!!!! stand proud girl - do something we're all proud of but not brave enough to admit!!!!!!!! lol ENJOY YOUR SICK DAYS!!!! ROFL!!! LOL

Just read my last post and I DO APOLOGISE!

Howdy Everyone!!!!!

I get my divorce in two weeks!!!!!!!!!

I am not getting as much as if we would have gone to court but this way I am not waiting another year to get it over with. He was so mad after the mediation that they had us leave five minutes before they let him go.

Have been doing bad in the eating. Need to get the chocolate out of the house. I need to stay off the scale. My weight is fluctuating and depending on what it states depends on how my day goes. Can't let it control me.

Going to the high school basketball game with my girls tonight. The older daughter has a volleyball tournament on Sunday so it is going to be a busy weekend.

Talk to you all soon!

Yeay for Flower...two weeks will just fly past!! How are you going to celebrate??? Enjoy the basketball game.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend, I am eating well and water intake is great...and i didn't weigh myself today either...yay me!!
