I dont think Kiwi would want us to just hand her the crown... cause it's her birthday.. lol
I do want a big slice of cake though,,,

Hiya Suz

ah... I've been quite an emotional wreck these days.. and so far I've managed to not eat the comfort foods.. but its making me soooo miserable.
Now what is making me emotional... blah.. a man. go figure. Being in a long distance relationship is hard..but what can I do right?

maybe if I start exercising i'll feel better but I just feel so drained I can barely get out of bed. someone please cattleprod me into reality.. please.

Hi Everyone I know its a couple of days late but I am going to weigh in today and will post results later since i live in canada my thanksgiving is already over so i will shoot for a christmas goal of 12 lbs I know i can do that

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KIWI, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU AND MANY MORE....


Hope you have a great Birthday Kiwi.....you can cheat today, but do a few more leg lifts on the couch to compensate...

Hi Suz, welcome....glad to have you hear with us......

Gordie... a Man has got ya so blah? You are right, exercise is a great way to release those endorphins to help you over all feel better, turn on some "happy music" and get moving girl, you are doing this for YOU!!!!
You can do it, you can do it....now get up girl and go

um..I kinda agree with Gordie.....should we really just be handing over the crown to Kiwi just because it is her b-day????
But being the great competitor that I am, if she needs a "PITY CROWN" for a week cuz it is her b-day.. then by all means give it to her....
Jk....

Rough night last night, my son has a fever of 101, dizzy and overall feels like crap....up all night with him...he feels so bad he is 12 and does not get sick often but when he does he really gets sick So after I got him back to sleep at 2:45 this a.m. I was up and yup HUNGRY!!! So I went down to the fridg to see if there was anything in there to "help me sleep" "carbs" Nothing, cuz I cleaned out fridg before our weigh in so I made a diet hot chocolate so that wasn't too bad huh?

I wish everyone a great day, and Kiwi I really do hope you enjoy your Birthday!

Danni Marie

Morning!!

Thanks for the BD wishes!! Tanya your birthday cake did work! Thanks that was sooo sweet.

Gordie, about the Crown, Mind your own business. J/K. so you are in a long distant relationship Is he your Boyfriend or Husband? If he is a BF. How serious is it? Wedding Bells?

Danni???? Let Me have the crown?? On no you did not say that?! Oh I see what's happening! Girl! (As I snap my finger and shake my head) You know you are going to lose so you are already preparing your excuse "that you gave me the crown" YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T TOUCH THIS!! (Hammer time dance)

On a serious note, I hope your son gets to feeling better.

Suz, 170!! Like I told Tanya. If you lived around me I'd have to cut you off as my friend!! J/K. So your begining weight for this week is 170. Did you make a copy of the rules of the Piggy Bank Challenge?

Well, today I tried on my size 16 pants. I've had them awhile but grew out of them. Oh baby baby!! I got them on and zipped them up without laying on the bed to do so!! Unfortunately, it was cutting me in the waist. Also, the seam, in the butt, was going places that only a Thong would go but HEY, that's wasn't the point! I got them on!! Maybe another 10 pounds before wearing them.

I got to admit at 196 I found it hard to believe I could wear a 16. Tight or any other way. They aren't stretch pants. Lets not forget I started this post because I live in a state of DENIAL!! If I am going to get to 125 pounds I need to face reality. I think I am going to go to the store today and try on some 16 clothes.

I'll let you know the results!


Kiwi

Kiwi-happy birthday! have fun today

I totally went off last night. Totally completely without a doubt lost it. I was really depressed for awhile. But now I'm okay. I had SO much fun. I know I shouldn't say that cause it sounds like I'll do it again just cause it was fun. Not true. I'll go again and have as much fun I'll just restrain myself. Also, coming back here this morning has helped. I can do this. I can meet my goal by Thanksgiving, and it all starts today.

I have a question

Not sure if this has been addressed and if it has please excuse, but I am at work and do not have time to read through all the pages
My question is: Can we bank posts? Meaning: If I do not post on Saturday and Sunday but I post 4 times on Monday and 4 Times on Tuesday can I use those xtra 2 posts on Monday for Saturday and same for Sunday?????

Now Kiwi, I know what you are thinking and trust me... I am NOT going to need the posts, cuz I am and will kick butt in all other areas but I would like to know IYKWIM

Missindy: I am so glad you are on track today, it is a great feeling once you get started the "stress" of starting is behind you which is a huge obstacle in itself

Um...Miss Kiwi..."GIVE YOU THE CROWN" is that how you took that? As I was looking at it was like I said a "PITY CROWN" cuz some of the group thought you should "HAVE" it instead of EARNING it,

Now trust me girl, I do not need an excuse to "give you" the crown.....I am gonna take it and that's all there is to it ....so I guess I need to ask you can you hang by your rules? Can you pee will the big girls or are ya on the porch with the pups???

gotta go eat my salad...I really want

Danni Marie

I'm getting ready to go shopping but I felt the need to address Danni's question

First, Acording to the rules, We can't change or update, until Friday. So, the answer to your question would be NO! NO! NO! NO!! You are SWEATING!! I can smell the fear!

Not only am I going to beat you Danni but I'm going to make you whimper like one your back door porch puppies!


Kiwi

Whimper? Is that what you really said? "Whimper" like a back door porch puppy? Are u serious? The "only" whimpering will be your own after you have been beat
Fear? there is nothing to fear but fear itself, and um excuse me but you don't seem like all that, like something I need to fear...
Sweating? Girl let me tell one thing....I don't sweat....
I glisten

How was shopping? Find anything good? Hope so, I hate shopping for clothes..those mirrors always make me look so much fatter than the ones at home

This is for everyone:
I was thinking to get us moving more , I found an article and it stated the those who fidget burn more calories than those who do not fidget
So while sitting at the computer, watching t.v. laying in bed you can fidget, get those legs jumping, toes tapping and fidget as much as you can...

Danni could you practice bowing please. Get down pretty low because I need something to prop my feet on come Friday .

I went shopping and tried on a size 16 Then tried another pair. Then finally a 16 stretch jeans.

Okay so I'm not really in a 16. Apparently, those old ones I tried on have been worn in. But I found a really nice blouse. Very Sexy. Went to the counter to pay and didn't have my wallet!! I had left it at home. Bummer, I'll have to go back later.

How is everyone else doing? Tanya, are you having a great day today? How about you scalewatcher? Feeling better? I hope everyone is.

Well, my DH called he's coming home early

Write later,

Kiwi

Hey Everyone I am doing better today. I have been with my DH today he's at home today so I think having him home with me has helped. I have to go an spend time with him so I will post again later.

Ivy

Welcome to all the new folks!!!!

Hi guys!

happy Birthday Kiwiiiiiiiii! Size 16 eh? Stetch pants are God's gift.
I hope you are having/had a great day.
Friday is coming closer... who will it be? I know its not me this time round.. so as far as competitive goes.. I'll start on our 2nd week.. and you can all eat my dust. LOL

I need a damn list of all the emoticons.. with my slow internet and all it takes me 5 minutes to down load the forums.. and an additional 5 for the damn smileys.. so



hahahhaha

thats just about the best I can do for NOw...

The guy is my boyfriend.. and wedding bells? I don't know just yet.. lol I think I'll get married when I know he can carry me in his arms over the threshold and not need a forklift since he did break his elbows some time ago and no I didn't have anything to do with it. HAHHAHAHAHA

I weight myself this morning.. and I've lost 5 lbs.. finally the scale budged but that was from the exercising and dieting I did before we started I think.. so it doesn't count.

COming here every few hours is nice.. always there are new posts. Thanks guys.. you don't know how much this really helps me.

I hope everyone is doing great.
I want pizza... that's an eating habit that's so hard to shake off.
Blah.. lol

Wow, What a day!! Great Birthday!!

My DH took me to Rodeo's. Its the best Steak and Sea food place in town including Red Lobster and Captain Anderson's. It looks over the water and at sun down you can watch the dolphins and the boats while you eat. They cater to the locals. Most tourist don't know about it so they serve big portions of great food. I had blackend Shrimp, salad and Baked potato. (no sour cream) Then they brought out ice cream covered in choc. and whip cream. I had 2 bites, avoiding the choc syrup, then gave it to DH. (i know it still cost me .50 cents)
Then when we got home I had a suprise party waiting. I wasn't too suprised. When I walked in I could see the glow from the bon fire my candles were creating. And then everyone yelled suprise. Which did startle me! It was really fun. But I didn't eat any cake. I figured the earlier ice cream sunday was enough and I was really full from my meal.

Welcome back Ivy, I was wondering what happen to you.

Congrats Gordie on the 5 pounds. Regardless if you get to count it or not its awesome that you lost it!!

Scalewatcher, I'm so glad you are feeling better and you and DH can spend time together today.

Tanya where are you? I hope you are having a great day!

good morning to all

I usually only weigh myself about every 2 weeks but i guess i will have to get used to doing it more maybe it will keep me on track i go to exercise class this morning to "glisten a lot " I always feel so good after I exercise i go to work to night for 2 midnights so I may not post until friday after i weigh in If I have some time at work I will try to get back here I usually don't eat much when I am on midnights so maybe I can drop another lb by friday

Give me a full week here and maybe I can steal the crown or not but will give my best try
