Hi everyone,

I had a great day today, I did good with my eating and even went to the gym for over an hour! :D I've kind of had the munchies this week but I got through today with out eating anything bad!
Now I need to get up and get busy, because at this time tomorrow night I'll be on my way to Baton Rouge to see my mom. I don't know if I'll get a chance to post while I'm there, but I'll check in tomorrow. It's going to be rough there, my mom thinks she has to feed me and she's very hard headed when it comes to me not eating. Like it would hurt me to do without! That's part of the problem, when I was growing up, she always forced food down my throat even if I didn't want it. Now I find myself doing it , still out of habit! I'm getting better at listening to myself, and stoping when I'm full. Please help me be strong!

Feffyy, I know how you feel, when my family is home I have no time to myself. Alway hanging out trying to see what I'm doing, instead of doing anything productive! I proud of you for doing something for yourself, you do deserve it! And congrats. on loseing 4lbs., keep up the great work! Oh yes, the Hamster's name is Fuzzy :) !

Hi Zoe, how are you? Good luck with your Spring challenge, you'll do great!

I guess I'm gonna go now, but I'll check in tomorrow before I leave! Good Night

Mel

hello all!

Sorry that I have been missing, I've been really busy and I think that I'm having a relapse of whatever I had 2 weeks ago. Plateau is still here.

Hi ladies,

I'm just stopping in for a few minutes while I finish packing. I feel pretty good today, but I am a little sore from my workout last night! Which I don't mind, because I know it's a good sore! Instead of just doing cardio, I did a little weight toning so I wont be so flabby! And I can keep up my exercise while I'm gone, because my mom has a treadmill! Yea!!! :lol: I hope y'all have a beautiful weekend, and I'll stop in if I can!

Mel

Hello ladies :wave:

I just got home a short time ago....had my hair colored, then home to make a fast din-din. Greg and I had pancakes for dinner.....I love breakfast for dinner. :) So I get home later than usual when I have my hair done.....got all that natural blonde taken out. :lol::lol:

Mel ~ have a wonderful time in LA. Don't let anyone give you any food you don't want. :) Just have fun

asta ~ sorry you're feeling a relapse coming on. Hope you're okay

feffyy ~ doesn't it feel great to do something for yourself, buy some beauty items??? I love doing that. I did find a nice dress that's one piece but looks like it's 2....hides alot. Ha!

Hope you're all having a great night....gotta run now. Have a great Friday.

:ink:Zoe:ink:

Hanging in there!
 

Hello girls!

Well, I had a long day. Had an early appointment. Then came home to do some deep cleaning. I am still not done, I will finish tomorrow.

I have gotten in the bad habit lately of not eating all day, then by the time I put the kids to bed I am starving! I am still eating healthy, but I know it is slowing down my metabolism. Shame on me! I am going to start doing better tomorrow!:D

Asta, You seem so down! I hope everything is ok with you. Don't forget we are all here for you!:) Hope you get to feeling better soon!

Mel, WOW an hour at the gym! Great job! Be strong at your mom's house ok! I know you can do it! Try and explain to her you have been trying to eat healthy and that you need her help. Maybe you two can make some great baked chicken together! Have fun!

Zoe, MMMMMMMMMM I love breakfast for dinner too! Do you ever eat creeps? YUMMY! And low fat to boot. The dress sounds awesome! Take some time for you before the party and go get your hair done! It will make you feel more self confident when you are there :)

Have a great weekend everyone! Be strong girls! Just think by this time next month we are all going to be thinner then we are right now!

Thanks again everyone for always being there for me:smug: Talk to you soon.

feffyy

Oh I almost forgot....

Zoe, you are a beautiful person! Don't put little piggies by your name.

Here this is better........:angel: Zoe:angel:

Bye for now......





:moo: feffyy:moo:






hehehehehe just kidding!

feffyy;)

Hey ladies!

Things are looking better today. I went to the DR yesterday afternoon and got some stronger antibiotics. Slept better last night... I think that I have been overwhelmed lately. A lot of stuff stacked up that I needed to get done, then I couldn't sleep because of coughing, then my microsoft money mysteriously quit working... I haven't felt like exercising as much as usually and I think that makes me grumpy. That is good because it does show that I have developed an exercise habit.

Have a good weekend all!

asta

Hello
 

I just wanted to let y'all know I'm here, my mom had to run down the road for a minute and I decided I'd check in with y'all! I'm having a good time, but I'm still tired from the drive in last night. I didn't have time to fix anything to eat, so we ended up having fast food and I am really feel bad about that. The thing is that it didn't even taste good to me, so I don't have to worry about wanting anymore! My stomach has been upset all day from that mess!
I'm gonna go since my mom is back, but I'll try to check in later.

Asta, I hope you're feeling better, you take care and get well!

Feffyy, You don't know my mom, she's very old school! Always cooking big meals to feed everyone, tonight is Crawfish Stew! I do miss all of the cajun cooking, but I'll take it easy.

Zoe, I'm glad you found a dress, it sounds really nice. And I'm happy that you're doing things that are just for you (don't you just love to go to the salon)! :D

Have a good weekend, and I'll talk to y'all soon!

Mel

Hey everyone :wave:

I am so busy today, getting ready for tonight. Of course, the procrastinator in me didn't get my nails and pedicure done yesterday so I'm going to be doing that today. Why do I put things off like this. :?:

Just wanted to say hi ~ I'll be back tomorrow since it will be too late tonight when we get in. Have a great Sunday!

Zoe <><

Hi everyone!

I made it back, where are y'all? Zoe, how did everything go, did you enjoy yourself? I hope so!

I had a great time at my moms, but I'm glad to be home. It's so tiring just being away from home and it's so nice when you get home! I did pretty good with my eating, didn't do perfect but then who is perfect? I'm happy anyway!
Now I'm just sitting around waiting for the puppies to arrive, any day now!

How is everyone? I sure missed checking in , but y'all weren't here anyway! talk to y'all soon, Mel

Happy Tuesday everyone :wave:

How is everyone doing today? We made it through Monday and now through Tuesday....tomorrow is mid-week and then, before you know it, the weekend is here. Wishing my life away, waiting for the weekends. :lol:

The black tie event was great. It was held at the Worthington, downtown FW. It was made to be like the Academy Awards....so corny but cute. Valet parking and a red carpet to walk up...lots of screaming 'fans', asking for our autographs......it was fun. The tuxedo has been returned and all is back to normal here. :)

feffyy ~ but I love those little :ink::ink:'s. Ha! I collect :ink:'s and love that they put them on here. :)

mel ~ Glad that you're back and hope you're feeling ok and your stomache is better. Was it the food or just the thought of what you ate??

asta ~ Where you at????

have a great evening and I'll talk to y'all tomorrow or the next day.

Zoe <><

Hi,

I'm not doing so great with my eating this week, I think it's just time for a little break from the diet? And probably Easter, love all the candy and stuff! :ink: but I'm trying to control myself! I really don't know whats wrong, I was doing so good? Just kind of feel down this week. I'm stuck at home for one reason, and there's candy in the house! :ink: The puppies will probably come tomorrow, and then I'll be busy (too busy to eat, maybe!).

Zoe, the fast food always tears up my stomache, for days! That's why it's pretty easy to stay away from it! We've been eating chicken, so when I have beef I get sick. Your black tie affair sounds like lots of fun!

Asta, Hope you're feeling better!

Feffyy, how is everything going?

Talk to y'all soon! Mel

Good morning Ladies!

Sorry that I have been AWOL. I am definitely feeling back to normal. My 4 year old was home yesterday with a fever and didn't move all day, but she seems a lot better today. My period started this morning and I feel bloated and fat, but I am going to get moving and try to forget about it. The weather looks beautiful and I'm going to try to get out in it.

Have a nice Wednesday!

asta

Hi, I only have a minute to let you know I won't be in as often for a few weeks. Our puppies are here, so far 5 males and 5 females, and I think she's finished ( I hope )! Anyway, I didn't get any sleep last night because I helped deliver them too! so it's about time for a quick nap!

Be back soon! Mel

Hey girls,

Wow I feel like a stranger not being here much in the last week. Things have just been so busy. We are trying to sell a car, plus talking about moving to Colorado still, and my husband has been looking for a new job too.

I have been doing just terrible on my diet. I don't know what happened? I was doing great and for some reason I have gotten really off track. I am going to weigh in tomorrow. I know I have gained at least 5 pounds.:(

I feel like a broken record saying this but I am going to start over! I know I can do it I just need to find what ever is inside of me stopping me.

Asta, I am so glad you are feeling better! I'm sorry that your little one caught it though. Is your 4 year old feeling better yet?

Mel, That is so awesome that you had so much fun at your moms! I know how you feel when you say that eating fast food makes you feel sick. It does me too. I'm so happy that the puppies were born! Can you post some pictures on here for us? I would love to see them:)

Zoe, How cute that you collect pigs! I have another friend that does also. Her whole kitchen is pigs. Do you have the cookie jar that oinks at you? hehehe I am glad that the party turned out to be so much fun. See you were worried for nothing.

I just wanted to say thinks for hanging in there everyone! Lets stick together and not give up on anyone! We are all going to make it! I know it!:D

feffyy

Hi,

Feffyy, It's nice to have you back again :) I know what you mean about getting off track. Since my weekend at my moms, I haven't been able to get back on track. But I'm not giving up, because I know I can do it! I also know that I'v probably gained a few pounds back too! I tell you what, If you'll help me be strong, I promise I'll help you too. That goes for everybody!

I'll be busy with the puppies for a few weeks, but I'll still be here when I can.

Zoe, where are you now?

Asta, how is everything going, getting back to normal I hope. I know it's hard to get back into exercising when you've stopped, even for a little while. Especially after being sick, it just seems like you're weaker than usual. I know I haven't done anything in a week, and I feel guilty, but I just don't have the energy? ! ? :?:

Hope y'all have a good weekend, and Happy Easter!

Be back soon, Mel

OHHHHHHHHH they are soooooo cute Mel!!!!!!

I want to hold one!!!!:)

I love puppies! I have a little pom and I would like to bread her. I know she would be a good little mommy. Thanks for posting a picture for us.

Man I have no energy today. All I have done the last few days is eat. It's so weird how we so easley do what is so bad for us, but it's so hard to do what is good for us. I have made a choice. I AM going to start walking either on the treadmill or in the park. I am going to walk at first 3 days a week. I know I can do it. I am soooo out of shape! I stay at home all day and all I do is clean the house. I really feel like a hermit. I am going to start this week and change all of that. I think small steps at a time. I think if I am serious about seeing some results I need to get serious about making some real changes. Not JUST change my eating. Ok, so for my first BIG change. I vow that I will exercise 3 times a week for 1/2 hour each time. I need some help here girls, I need someone out there to stay on me about this ok!:)

Mel, I will do my best to keep you strong! And everyone else! Lets stick together girls! Get tough and really go for it this month.

Happy Easter everyone! Have a great weekend!

feffyy

Hello :)

Those puppies sure are cute!

My 4 year old is 100% now, so we are all back on track.

Happy Easter everyone!

:devil: Happy April Fools Day! :s:

I hope that everyone had a nice Easter!

It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day in North Texas, let's all get out there and enjoy it!

asta

Hey, where is everyone?????? What's going on y'all...?? How was your Easter Sunday? Ours was good ~ quiet but good.

Mel ~ those babies are just too cute!!! How can you let then go? I don't think I could do it but then, to have 8 extra dogs could tend to be a problem, huh? :lol:

feffyy ~ did you get your energy back? Yes, I collect pigs and I too have them in my kitchen but also, throughout the house. They're 'tasteful' though, not over powering. I just love them! although I don't like the shiny ceramic type so I don't tell people so they don't buy any.....is that mean??? :joker:

asta ~ so glad that your little one is back to 100%.

Well, have a wonderful Monday night....this was a very lonnnnngggg day!! I feel frazzled :dizzy: Talk to y'all soon.

Zoe <><

Hello

I think coming here is what has been motivating me because I sure can't seem to control myself while I'm away. I'm so frustrated, because I'm so tired I guess? I rest when I can and I get a quick meal, and watch over the puppies, and the puppies mom is sick! I'm so upset because she's like my baby girl, since I can't have anymore, and now she might have to have surgery! We've got her on antibiotics but that may not be enough? Oh, I forgot to tell y'all she ended up having 11, 6 boys and 5 girls.

I'm glad to see everyone making their way back in here, I know I'm going to try to start posting everyday again, I really think it was helping!

Well I'm gonna go again, but I'll be back! :D

Mel

Good morning everyone!

Zoe, I hope that your Tuesday is less frazzling than Monday.

We have a busy week this week. My son is starting ice hockey goalie lessons. I am on the school board for our church preschool and we start interviewing candidates for director this week.

I have decided to really turn it up a notch or two as far as diet and exercise go. I have been stuck on a plateau long enough. Yesterday was great, I ate right and got a lot of exercise. I biked for fun with the kids and went to the gym and worked out while they were at school.

Have a good one ya'll!

asta

Mel, sorry about your puppies mom, what does she have?

Hi y'all!

I finally got a little rest today, I think the new meds. may be helping my girl ( momma dog ) so she and the puppies seemed to be resting a little better.

Asta, she has whats called Pyometria which is a very serious infection in the uterus. If we can't get it clear up, she'll have to be spayed. I'm pretty upset by this because anyone that knows me , knows that I take very good care of all of my dogs, but this one is very special because she's been with me inside for almost 4 years. And she's my best brood female, and produces very fine litters.

So I've really been stressing over this, because I try to do everything right, but something always seems to go wrong! Kind of like dieting! :) I did a little better today with my eating, but it's hard because I don't have much to choose from since my husband hasn't been shopping. Yes, he does the shopping when I have puppies inside! :D

Well it's time to go check on the babies, I'll post another pic. of them when I make a new one!

Have a good evening! Mel

Hey girls,

Wow been really busy here lately. I think I have also been avoiding coming here because I have been bad. I have been doing terrible with my eating. I figured well it's the end of the month so I may as well wait until the first to make the change. Then when the first came it didn't happen, then the second came and my husband wanted to go out to dinner. etc. etc. etc. Well now it's the 5th and I have got to face the music! I really don't know what has been wrong with me?

I know one thing that I am really, really upset about is that I started this diet 6 months ago. And when I started it I called my family who I haven't seen in two years and told them I am coming to visit in July. I was so excited because that gave me plenty of time to take this weight off before I went back to go and see them. Well the first month I did great! I took of 20 pounds then I don't know what happened the last two months? Now I only have three months till I have to face them. :( Now even if I do great on my diet I will still be heavy when I see them. Even if I have a great three months.:( Sorry just need to let off some steam. I am really stressed over this. That is what we are here for right...

Well what I have decided to do is try and accept my self, and just do the best I can. I think if I do great the next three months I will still be heavy but at least I won't be obese when I see them. This is better then nothing.

Asta, I am soooo glad your little one is feeling %100 again! It sounds like you are back on track with your diet and exercise! Great job!

Zoe, My Easter was great, went to the park with the family, and just relaxed all day:) Sounds like you had a great one too! I don't think that is mean at all not to tell people so they don't buy you the shiny ceramic!

Mel, I hope your dog is doing better!:?: I will say a prayer for her. I LOVE animals! My heart would be breaking. Sounds like we are going threw the same eating thing right now. We will get threw this! We Will!

Lets hang in there all!! We CAN do this! Lets not give up on each other ok!:D

Wow page 5 already! Going to start the new one! It will again be exactley the same but have a #3 next to it ok!

See you all there.

feffyy
