OKay Amanda I think I got you right now . Thats was making me nervous all those pounds you had lost, I didn't know how was catch u. Nice weight lose for real tho! I can't wait til I can say I've lost 19 lbs, its such a hugh accomplishment. This is just not easy, you have to really want this new look and healthier life style.
And I know we all want this more than ever. Just looking at the numbers lost by everyone is a hugh incentive to me.
Hi Danielle Glad your back!
I wish I could see results already. I think thats what makes me so frustrated early on. That may be why I never really stick to a diet or exercising. You feel better and you can feel the pains, but it takes so long to see the results.
Funny story, My mother-inlaw call yesterday. She was all upset. She has really bad knees and weighs roughly 260 lbs (she is 58yrs old). Well she wanted to go buy a car yesterday and she asked her cousin to take her. He's a lot fun, kinda the life of the party at functions and he's a few years younger than her. He takes her to this car dealer. She goes in to look for a car and its all Trucks, this nut took her to a truck dealer ship. She got reallly pissed and started yelling at him at the dealers. She asked him what the F#%!was she going to do with Truck. He told her he felt she needed one, he was tired of always having to pick her up because her car broke down or come having to come an move some stuff for her. The salesmen were cracking up.
My husband and I was dying laughing. Because This cousin is off the chain. He's wild. He knows she can't even climb in her car let alone a dually.
Anyways me 5% weight would be 10.45 lbs. Lets doing it ladies, I'm ready.
I just spent 20 minutes typing a long reply to everyone and the server booted me off. Sorry ladies!!! Just makes me MAD!!!!!
Aqua, I posted "I AM THE BOSS" in the bathroom above my scale. LOL
My husband loves it.
Sapphire: LMAO - that story is absolutely hilarious. Thanks for sharing. I wish I had somene like that around me to keep me going, I wouldn't have time to get depressed. Thanks for putting all of our weights together. Keeps things in perspective.
AManda - MY HERO!!!! Like I said before, when I grow up I want to be just like you. I am gonna catch ya though.
Miaflucker - I was gonna kick ya, but Melissa beat me to it.
Danielle, glad your back - I haven't been on here long, but always enjoyed reading your posts. Can't wait to get to know you better.
Brat, I know how you feel. I had to get up last year for work in front of 300 people. I thought I was going to die, but I did it. YOU CAN TO>>>> I worried to much about it. They have to do it too. Keep telling yourself that.
Lovethatsara, I am with ya! More exercise after eating Mexican tonight. BAD Me!!!
Sugar-N-Spice - I feel like you. Hard to keep up with all the posts. This goes at lightning speed. I love it though. I think I need to start posting three times a day instead of one. Maybe I could keep up better.
I feel bad if I forgot anyone. Please forgive me, you were probably remembered on the posting I did before this one that is in cyberspace somewhere. Kick me in my butt for eating Mexican with my husband tonight. Not on my Atkins diet. But, small victory - I had only 10 chips instead of the whole basket. and opt'd out of the rice and beans and settled for chicken quesadillas. Oh, well tomorrow is another day.
Sugar-N-Spice- I understand about regrouping. Sometimes that's extremely important. Oh yeah, I tread everyday. I have to. I'm replacing my ice cream addiction with a daily workout. You'd be proud of me, I turned down a KitKat last night!!! Went to bed and got up this morning to tread.
lovethatsara- Hi!
Hun.e.B- Hi! Thanks for posting the challenge info.
Amany- I do squats every day, and yep- the sitting in the chair and changing you mind- is definately the correct form. When you begin to feel the burn you know it's working. I think form is a big key, but you are so right, the stronger we get the *easier* it is, but it is always going to be hard. It has to be, we have to keep up the challenge.
miafluker- Mia! My scale barely moved!!! 1 pound! I think I am retaining water. That's okay, if this is the case it will move in my next weigh in. I don't care about the scale anyway. My body is changing shape, and I can feel a difference, so it's okay.
sapphire35- I know what you mean. Sometimes I'll be walking and I'll say stuff like, "why can't you just go away?".... (I'm talking to my fat) of course it just sits there and does nothing. lol... It's hard to have to endure the long process, but it will be worth it. I'm staring at my old jeans everyday and I know I fit into them once before- I can do it again!
n2luvnlife- lol... I'm glad you put that up there. You're only obligation to the scale is to walk all over it. Do not let it hurt your feelings, it only gauges where you're at.
U2 girl - I want to be just like the 86 yr old. Amazing, now thats impressive. She got her nerves showing us up like that at her age. Hey U2 where do you live in St. Louis. I'm in st. charles.
Hi Danielle
Melissa thanks for getting the new thread going. Your an extremely busy woman, I don't see how you jungle so much in one day.
N2luvnlife: Way to scold that scale. Love the quote, good one. I haven't even got on the scale lately. I'm afraid of being disappointed. I feel like I'm loosing weight, but scared to really find out differently. I'm going to have to get one the girls to measure me at the gym. I don't even know my inches.
Hi Amanda, Brit, iwantnewpants, sara, mia, kandice, aquachick, littlelori, altari, bonnie, and triciak. Whew I think that was everyone, I hope.
Hey all. I've been AWOL and it's taking a toll on my eating. I worked from 8:30AM to (literally) midnight on Monday, with an hour and a half break to go home, shower, change and eat. Since Saturday I've clocked 42 hours. I still have to work on Friday!!!! I've been living on fast food and pizza.
Today's my day off, though, so I plan on loading up on vegetation - and finally getting some exercise in.
u2girl - love that article! Great figure for an old lady!
Altari- Wow, you were working a lot. Well, it happens. My only advice to beat those times (and that was rough!!! ) is to pack your own stuff. I know it's a pain in the butt when you are super busy like that, but I don't know how else to get around it. I used to binge for comfort among other things, so I think if I worked a shift like that it would test me, that's for sure.
thanks for the new thread! I know weight can fluctuate and so I'm just taking this in stride today too- but the scale this AM said 206! please please please let it be right! I would do a carrot dance!
today is stair day again- i sweat enough on those it's gotta be doing something and my bum and hamstrings after shoot like little shocks- kinda like when your foot falls asleep and comes back- same type of thing almost. does anyone else have these after exercising?
also when you're walking does anyone elses hands feel tight? like they're swelling up. Asked DH when we went for a walk last night and he said yeah a little but I think he was just saying yes.
DH is on plant shutdown all next week so he'll go on walks with me in the evening. I like it- that's our time to talk and catch up and not sitting in front of the tv or anything.
sorry no personals- I've been way to busy at work. seems like when I get here people want everything! hello! let me check my email and phone first! yesterday I got so frustrated at people. we have a parking garage and I buy "tickets" to validate our members parking- and some of the staff buy them too (from me) I'm the only one that can sign for it. yesterday was payroll day and I have a deadline to get it in to TX by- we're part of a bigger org ClubCorp from Dallas, TX- and this girl was coming in every 15 minutes- have you bought tickets yet- they were for her. fianlly said, I'm doing payroll- do you want to get paid or do you want parking tickets?! ugh! she must have told people because everyone stayed away the rest of the day until payroll was done! LOL!
Hi AquaChick! - You are really rockin with that tread! You're doing such a great job. You're motivating the rest of us to stay on track. Squats too? You go chicky!!
I agree with keeping things challenging. It's so good for our muscles, including our hearts. Which, of course, is a muscle too. I've been writing a lot about jogging lately. I don't really even know why I want to jog after all these years, but I loved it when I was younger and did it for fun. I loved that "thump, thump, thump" I'd feel in my chest and the way that second wind felt. I guess I'm trading addictions too.
Melissa - I can't wait for you all to start the challenge! It really makes me happy to read about someone losing weight, drinking all their water and losing inches. It keeps me going. I think a lot of people are going to surprise themselves when they find out what they're capable of. This will give everyone an opportunity to rise to the occasion.
Since I'm not going to participate, I'll take side bets with people on who I think will win. j/k
N2 - As and advocate of nonviolence I refuse to kick you. It's no biggie, just get back on track. I had Mexican last Sunday. Deep-fried Mexican. I know. I'll do better next time...
I know you'll catch me. I expect it anyday. As soon as I hit my stride and think I'm doing ok, you and Sapphire will be passing me up. She said she was going to get me too. I'll be looking out for the both of you! I love that you put a sign on your scale. You and Aqua crack me up!
Speaking of Sapphire...
Yes, I really want a new body bad. That's why Laila Ali is my avatar. If I had to pick someone to motivate me, it would be her. She has the type of body I want. Of course I don't have the luxury of personal trainers and dieticians like her but, when it comes down it, it's still about eating right and exercising right? She still has to do the work, just like me. So maybe I can close in on her a bit. At least that's what I tell myself.
Thanks for the compliment BTW.
Mia - It's really, really important to forgive yourself right away. And not to get too hung up on the numbers. Don't allow yourself to sink into a depression and give up. If you let yourself stay down too long that is exactly what will happen. I know what you mean about being afraid to look at the scale though. Before starting this, I would avoid the scale for weeks and months. Confront it and deal with it head on. Do like Aqua and N2 and show it who's boss!!
Danielle - I keep hearing that BL is a great workout. I've been hearing about that, T-Tapp, Slim in Six and Turbo Jam. I'm trying so hard to stop buying sooo many videos. My resolve is starting to weaken though.
Isn't it funny how we see something new being advertised, or hear about it, and say, "Oooo.... If only I had that I'd be fit!". Then it just sort of sits there until the next thing gets out attention and we think, "Oooo.... If only I had that I'd be fit!". I'm glad we're all starting to actually use those videos now.
Yesterday I was too weary to exercise. I've been exhausted for about three weeks and it just wears on me at times. I didn't do anything this morning either, so I must do something sometime today. There's a small golf course behind us for the engineers. They also shoot arrows and play volleyball back there. Isn't that cool? The CEO wants them to spend 10% of their day doing something like that to spark their creativity. We have the cutest and sweetest(with the exception of a few guys) geek squad ever. Anyway, I think I'll take a brisk walk back there today. I may have to run to avoid the arrows!
I'm going straight to the State Fair after work. Morris Day and the Time will be there. I've never seen them perform live and I heard that they were excellent in concert. I so excited. Maybe I'll do The Bird when I get there.
Good morning gang! I can't believe that another week is almost over. Guess time flies when you're having fun?
I am so sore this morning all over, it hurts to breathe! LOL I knew I would be after that workout yesterday, but will just keep plodding thru. No pain no gain right?
Will be back for personals, time to go get kiddies up for school. C-ya!
How's that? LOL! 
, people who act like their better than me
thank you okay im back now
Nice weight lose for real tho!
I can't wait til I can say I've lost 19 lbs, its such a hugh accomplishment. This is just not easy, you have to really want this new look and healthier life style. 
Glad your back!
