AWESOME on the pants, Faye! I have a similar pair hanging in my closet that I keep looking at longingly.

I just thought I'd check in before I head out to dance class. Wish me luck, everyone, I'm going to try to convince the owner of the dance studio to buy some of my sewing for her shop. I'm especially going to push the idea of plus-size fitness and dance wear! There is NOWHERE in our neck of the woods for bigger gals to buy bike shorts/sports bras/tights/leotards/ even yoga wear! I searched for WEEKS before I just broke down and started making my own. I've sold some on ebay and through mail order, so I'm hoping she will go for the idea. Hers is the only dancewear/fitness shop around. :crossed: :crossed:

I'm right on track for a 4 point day, so I'll talk to you all tomorrow!

Later,
Julie

WTG ME !!!

I've decided to give myself a WTG for going on the exercise bike for 35 minutes - when I first started about 6 weeks ago, I struggled to do 20 minutes, and now I can do 35 minutes , so I must be getting fitter!

Hello Everyone

I'm tired so I'm sitting here reading so I won't have to get up and do something.

Faye--I'm sorry I didn't mention your pants! Its really great. I'm just to tired to make sense. I know you must have really felt proud when you went out in them.

Julie: I would be interested in some exercise clothing. Why not take pics and let me see what you have come up with if you are interested in selling outside your area. In fact, if you decide you want to make sewing a business, I probably would be interested in other things too, who knows? I really am interested in exercise clothes though.

Amanda: Terrifice job with the bike! YEAH for you and you did your WTG exactly right!!

Now I know you guys all have things to brag about and that's what WTG is for so I expect to see more of it!

Thanks for the compliments about the jeans. I had to lay down to zip them and like I said a bathroom trip would have probably proved disasterous (I would never have gotten them zipped back up), but just a month ago I tried the same thing and had about 2 inches to got to even do what I did. Jack loved them tight. The only thing I couldn't do was get out of the recliner! :lol:

Every one of you is doing a spectacular job with your weight loss program. I see how hard you are trying and working and the results are going to great.

I watched Dr Phil today and he is telling these people everything that I keep trying to pound into people's head. Everyone of us is beautiful. Our fat does not make us the people that we are. We are all vibrant human beings.

One more thing and then I am going to go. Yesterday I was so stressed out about this money issue with the management company for the condos. We had the money for the repairs but not repairs and the assessment. I was angry, scared and upset all at the same time. Part of it is because we are buying the condo on land contract because of some employment and credit issues. We were afraid to even look for a lender. So, we did not want to cause any trouble to our kids who own the property by telling the managment company to take a hike that we would have the repairs done by the cut off date but we weren't paying any assessment. I kept thinking about eating to help me feel better and then one step farther. I realized that I didn't have that "to heck with it all" feeling like I used to when I would get into situations like the above. Before I would lose some weight, mess up and GIVE UP. This time my brain was telling me, "You never want to go back to being where you were before. You are never going to be that person again." It shocked me quite frankly that I really didn't WANT to give in or give up. I will bet that a lot of you if not ALL of you feel the same way. You don't want to go back to where you were and you are never going to let it happen to you again. Which means, we have all learned something about our bodies and weight loss and control issues. We are not perfect so we will slip, but we don't want to say "to heck with it!"

You ladies have a spectacular evening! I love each and every one of you!

PS Say a prayer, keep your fingers crossed, rub your rabbit's foot whatever. I am applying for another job! :lol:

Faye :)

Julie... i would be interested as well in some work out clothes... and i would love to see your stuff. I do ebay so if u want to u can give me your ebay id and i will check out your stuff...lol that sounded really lecherous didnt it? LOL
My prayers and luck are all coming your way Faye!! I know what u mean about that point... and not giving in to or wanting to give into it. Food is a big emotional therapy for me... and i am learning to say NO to it. It wasnt this hard to put the weight on ... y is it so hard to get it off??? LOL

have a great evening... i'll check back b4 bed....
love you all
Sandy:dance: :flow1:

I am posting tonite as i have figured out my calories for the day... I drank my h2o and exercised... but went over on calories... i was just munchie today... so no points for staying on program. But tomorrow is another day.. and i did get my period... just tonite. So that explains why i ate the way i did today... Sleep well and sweet dreams

Sandy:dance: :flow1:

Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllo chicklets:lol: :lol:

How is everyone? I must confess!!! I HAD A CANDY BAR!!!!:devil: A ZERO BAR, REGULAR SIZE, BUT A CANDY BAR JUST THE SAME..UGH!!!! But I stopped there did not go for the coke to wash it down or the potato chips to get the "sweet taste out of my mouth", but man was it ever gooooooooooooooooooooood!:D

GUESS REPORTING PTS TOMORROW WILL BE JUST 1 pt for water and 1 pt for exercise....but I will report in in the am.

Faye, you fit into the jeans, wow!!:spin: :strong: and much look in getting the job!

love you too Sandy.....sweet dreams right back at ya!;)

Amanda, great job on doing the exercise bike longer!!! THAT IS WHAT IT TAKES, PERSEVERANCE!! you can do it:lol:

Lee, I will be thinking about you, hope Isabel is not as strong as they are anticipating! Stay safe;)

okay ladies it is getting late, and I am very weary, so talk to you in the am.

Good morning Ladies..please let me first say ,that I have all of you in my prayers and hope that all that will be affected by this "isabella" that you will be safe and free from harm.... Julie-I too would be interested in your clothing....Faye-you are so right about learning the control issues...after comming so far,and accomplishing so much,and loving the way it feels to be able to do things that were virtually impossible when I wasn't exercising or eating as healthy,I have learned to say no to temptations,where as before I would have given into the stress, and said what the heck....BUT NO MORE!!!!.......we have come a long ways and were still going....I got all my points for yesterday....I walked 3 miles at the gym ,strength trained ,and then in the evening ,took another walk with the children...and drank water,water,water...and stayed op........:) well,I am headed to town to run errands and hit the gym...so I will holler later...all of you have a super charged day,AND PUSH HARDER TODAY THAN YOU DID YESTERDAY!...BIG HUGS TO ALL...JOY:strong: :jig:

TUESDAY: Today is Target Tuesday and we are going to target our challenge. Looks like we have slipped and slid around this time so I want us to all get serious and try and finish our challenge for staying on our food program for the rest of the week!

I GOT A: :bravo: for points. I was under calories by like 800 and fat by about 200! I have to give my dh a :high: because he is doing great dieting. HE IS EVEN MEASURING! GASP!! If we could bottle this man's fortitude, we would all be skinny. When he decides to do something he just toughs it out. He quit smoking cold turkey 10 years ago and now he is doing this and basically just doesn't eat when he is hungry. Gosh I wish I had that.

My walking partner has a cat scan today so I am on my own so I think I will get out in a few when it is lighter out and walk. It is significantly cooler this morning which will make for a nice walk.

Did any of you watch Dr Phil yesterday? There was one couple that I told Jack that if my husband had made beeping sounds and said "look out wide load coming," I would have kicked his #$%! If you didn't see it, this man owns a construction company and his wife works in the office and one day she fell across a tree limb and he told his workers to go and get the cherry picker to get her up off the ground. How insulting is that and HE needs to lose about 60 lbs it looked like. You know me, if my husband would have done that, I would have gotten up, said guys can you come here a minute, walked up to my husband and decked him in front of his whole crew! Bet he would never have done it again! Oooohh spouses that act like that make me soooo mad! You don't need his book. Everything he is saying I have said, like try to eliminate your triggers, don't emotionally eat, know the difference between body image and self image, get support, etc. Geez, just think, if I had finished my psychology degree up in stead of quitting, I could be Dr. Donna and be making his money! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Everyone have a good day and I will check back when all you LATE sleepers get up! :lol:

Faye:)

Hello Everyone,

I to would be interested in the clothing. Send me e-bay info. I'm still a computer baby. I would like some tops that fit. I don't want to make my chest smaller, I just want to have some fit across the front of things.

I agree with what everyone says we have come a long way. Even thoughI haven't been with your group that long. I have been having problems with my dh lately. Nothing serious it just that he is a MAN. In times past I have started eating when this happens. I guess I figure if he isn't acting interested in me I might as well enjoy my food--after all I might as well enjoy something. This time I have started exercising. I can't believe it myself. Sometimes I still want to eat but mostly I have found something low fat to work on. Yesterday it was a sweet potato.

I got my points for yesterday which is proof there is a God.

To the lady with the candy bar--It wasn't that bad. I know you can't have them all the time but you didn't think you would go the rest of your life without one did you? The important thing was you didn't keep going with the coke or the chips. If it doesn't send you binging just take its calories in account and get on with it. Its good to have a candy bar without it having you.

Everyone have a great day

Debbie-Lee

Good Morning Lovely Ladies!!! I was up at 6am... i was just not on the puter Faye...lol!! I was doing my yoga!! Pam... i agree with Debbie... u stopped after the candy bar... and u cant deny yourself all the time.
I hope that all of u are safe and that the storm doesnt do any harm or damage to you or your loved ones.
I just love your energy JOY... Its obvious that your name is PERFECT for u...!!
WTG Faye!! Yes, i watched... and i thought the same thing as u... i would have dropped him where he stood. What an inconsiderate poop.

Hit the wrong button... LOL I wasnt finished posting... hahahaha
Its good to know i dont need his book... i was considering going out and buying it... i will just ask Dr Donna!!!
Debbie, i too am having some issues with my hubby... u notice i didnt put dh... hes not so darling to me right now...lol
Yes, hes a man but his communication skills are nill... so, i too havent turned to food like in the past... and my resolve is holding well. Usually i am the one to go to him and try to get to the bottom of whats wrong... well ya know, that gets really old... And i think i deserve to be asked what is going on for me?? So we are still NOT talking(since Sunday afternoon) and i guess we wont til he decides to talk to me. Yes i am nothing if not stubborn.
but i feel as tho i give and give and give... to him, the kids... and i would like some giving back! I know i am ranting and i apologize but i need to get this off my chest. I just dont understand...:?:
Oh well.. enuf !! I am done for the day complaining about him... hahahaha Thanks for listening... (like u had a choice) hahahaha!!
Everyone have a FABULOUS day... take care of u!!

Love you all
