I gained weight as well.. so you are definitely NOT alone on that one! I put on 7 pounds with my vacation and the 1-2 weeks of pure stress h*ll before I left. I am down one thank GOODNESS!
I joined la3y's 8 pounds challenge for Sept 30th.. but am definitely open to something else!
Psst.. Rosario.. we weigh the SAME again! I am 234 as of this morning. Fingers crossed it goes down tomorrow.. I've been SO good since I got home.
OH! And I wanted to tell you all.. my brother gets to go to SAN FRANCISCO for training with his new job! I am SO completely jealous, I got to go to Richmond which is a complete hole for my training. He was hired by google while we were on our vacation.. lucky poohead!
psst aimee...i don't weigh 234 anymore. this morning i was 237 and some change. i'm not changing my ticker until it goes down. Lador Day screwed me up big time. that sucks about your bro training. some people have all the luck!!! but at least you get to go somewhere!!!
Rosario - I guess I was lucky, I spent most of the weekend doing VERY low key things. On Monday I actually stayed at home and watched Laguna Beach all day alone because Josh worked all day. heh.. fun for me tho! Those pounds will come off.. the only reason I changed my ticker is because I enjoy changing it.. lol..
Aimee--You're watching the new season right?? aren't those girls so immature?? If I ever see one of them (especially that girl Cammie!) I don't think I could resisit the urge to slap them!!!
Rosario - I caught about half the first episode, they were totally annoying. Also I think it's SO funny how Jessica and Alex are in this one.. I thought Alex went away to school? Poor bratty girls! heh
I gained as well 2-4 pounds. Still not really sure, havent been able to have a real weigh in for like 3 weeks. But tomorrow I will be able to.
As for a new Challenge, how about an xmas one? I think something far away, gives us more time to work towards it. I joined the other xmas one, but always forgot to go there... so many people are there and I cant keep track!
I have been staying under 1200 calories for a few days, trying to make up for all my over eating - I just hope I will be able to raise it, I seem to be stuck in this "no more then 1200" argh
I know what you mean about the other xmas challenge, courtnie. so I only post there on my wi days but have no idea what is going on. so I am up for an x-mas one.
aimee--watch more of this season. we are already on the 4th episode. it's not as good as the 1st or 2nd seasons ,but I just like to see what kind of drama those silly girls get themselves into.
Rosario - Iwill definitely keep watching, I am a total laguna junkie! I have been downloading the first season's episodes, I really like that one. Although in the first season that Talon/Kristen/Stephen/Lauren thing was MESSED UP! But I do love that Lauren and Stephen both had jobs.. which seems to be something completely lost on this new generation.
Christmas challenge sounds good.. I'm not entirely sure what to aim for. I want to think of something realistic, esp since I'm not going to consider my eating plan to be part of a diet plan... and really am going to think of exercise as my main form of weight loss. I don't think we should count down the weeks in the thread name.. we aren't really a HUGE group.. but we can start new thread when its needed. What are you all aiming for? I was thinking 206, cuz thats my halfway point. Thats 28 pounds, is that too much to aim for?
So the first day of work went well, it was a little stressful with all the new stuff I need to learn. It'll come, and the person in charge of the section is really great, she's very understanding and already let me have a day off for a wedding I'm going to
From the looks of it, I didnt do too bad, if I am up anything at all it is only half a pound I know I gained but my eating really low must of helped me, haha. Anyway back to eating more and I want to be 160 by xmas
Just wanted to check in and say, I am not up afterall. Right at 179 And I ate more yesterday and today, so I am doing okay
tipsygypsy - maybe dont set any goals? I am not losing as fast and yes I gained some, but I am back on track and dont feel so stressed when I dont think about it. Just focus on eating right and worry about nothing else, it really does help. I still weigh but I dont let it bother me. you can do it!
