looks like the scale is down 1.2 - i know I should be happy with that... but I have been losing 1.2 every week for weeks and weeks now and the last two weeks, I have been working even harder then normal - exercising for an hour, eating betterm etc... I thought for sure I was gonna see two pounds this week! I think i might of eaten something a bit too late last night... anyway, I am happy with 1.2 and maybe ill see a big loss next week. On the other hand, I am in the 160's now and that makes me happy :) 9.4 pounds away from my xmas goal!

Courtnie - congrats! You know it's got to start slowing a little bit as you get smaller and smaller, 1.2 is still impressive. No more 170's for you!! :)

I got Josh to order me a salad at the place tonight, unfortunately I didn't have enough time to eat before hand.. And they didn't HAVE any! So I ended up with a burger, and I cut it in half and only ate half of it. I guess I'm looking for someone to say that I did a good job by not eating the entire thing myself. I also got a side salad instead of french fries, good choices considering, right? Insert bad choice, drank a little much and had a McD's burger to help with lack of hangover tomorrow..

We took a picture with all of the LD (my work) people tonight, I was the only chubby one, everyone else was super skinny! So I'm feeling a little fat now that I'm at home and sobered up a little. I just want this weight off, and I have to be really good with my calories this week. I wanted to be around 220-225 for this wedding I am going to on Nov 18th, thats like 5-9 pounds in 2 weeks. We are gonna go grocery shopping on Monday (I work 11:30am-10 pm tomorrw).. I'm babbling, I'm going to go to sleep!

How is everyone doing? I'm ready for my WI tomorrow. I've been doing really good at writing down EVERYTHING that has passed my lips this week and I went walking with my friend Erica for an hour last night for the first time in a LONG time! I forgot how much I liked walking, especially during the fall/winter months when the sun is setting. Nice.

hey everybody!!

courtnie--I say take that 1.2 pound loss!! You are almost to your x-mas goal and look where you're at on the scale!! great job girl!!

shari-don't u just feel awesome when you get back into exercising??? keep it up!!

aimee--you made some good choices there, that's a start. don't worry abou tgetting sidetracked.....biggest thing about losing weight is getting right back on track. i think you can lose 5-9 pounds in two weeks. you just have to want it bad enough to stick to your plan and get there. good luck!!

well, doctor's wasn't that bad....i do need to lose weight (suprise, suprise) and I may need to get a procedure done...but don't want to talk about that just yet. I am trying to get back into eatign right and have so far, just gotta stay with it when I get home. that's my biggest challenge there. Just gotta take it one day at a time, i guess.

talk to ya'll later.

where is everybody?????

I am sorta here.. I've been busy rearranging my house and cleaning things. Takes up a lot of time! Yesterday I was going to throw out an old stereo, but my friend convinced me to go with her to some pawn shop, which I find a little creepy. I didn't have to go in tho! I stayed in the car with her kids, and I ended up getting like 45 bucks for it. Still creepy, I felt slightly trashy.. heh.

Rosario - I made up for my slight offtrack night, the next day the cut in my mouth was bothering me so much I barely ate a thing. Not a great idea, but I just couldn't handle the pain. My scale is still saying 229. I gotta get with it if I plan to get to down for that wedding. How are you doing these days? The Dr's sounded fairly painless. And truely it's one meal at a time, it's so cliche, but amazing how true it is.

Shari - how was the WI?

The run is coming up pretty quick here, and I missed TWO run sessions this week :( Yesterday it was due to the fact I went out with my friend/neighbour girl, we were gone for.. ready for this? 7 hours. All we did was go to 3 stores, the girl is crazy, looks at everything for like hours!! She was so determined in one store to find something for her son, it took like an hour for her to find anything, ugh, painful. Now I remember why I usually make sure to finish everything before I agree to do anything with her. But my ipod mini is all charged, so i'm going to run today, and tomorrow. See if I can get on track for this run, I really want to run the entire thing.

Hi everyone! How are you all doing? OMG Ive been SO busy! I'm applying for like four clerical positions in the hospital and I've been taking all these computer classes after work. I haven't been to the gym in over a week and I feel so fat. But I'm going tomorrow dammit! It's my day off and I'm going first thing in the morning. Got into it really bad with two of my supervisors yesterday. I was so filled with rage, it was unbelieveable. I was this close to kicking some ***. Lucky for them, my mama, who is also a supervisor (in a different department) was at work too and she came by when she heard what was going down and calmed me down. We let them know that I wasn't going to be pushed around by no one. I went to work today ready for a fight but one of the supervisors wasn't there and the other kept his distance. Good for him. Back up to 242 again. I hate 242.

Well I am 1lb. closer to my Christmas goal. If I don't start losing more than 1lb a week I will not reach my Christmas goal. I guess I need to spend an extra day on the elliptical and maybee add 5 more min. each day. I am going to see if that helps.

Oh, everyone seems to be doing better than me!

Still "just" maintaining. Ho hum. *Sigh*

shrinkingchica - don't worry about it girl, the scale is bound to go down. Look at me, I have been gaining almost this whole time and I finally lost a pound! Hang in there!

gettingsmaller - wow, you are definitely "getting smaller" lol i never noticed how much weight you have lost. you are doing awesome!!! wtg!

shari - come on shari, me and you gotta work on this crap. we, both, have been losing and gaining. I say it's time to start losing for good!!

aimee - how's ur running going?? Laguna Beach is almost over. I think they're on prom over here and soon, it'll be graduation. Oh no, what am I going to do without LB??

courtnie - what's up with you???

Rosario - congrats on the loss :) almost TWO pounds girl.. good job! I almost died, I thought they cut off MTV completely, but they just changed the channel... phew!!

I am posting a 2 pound gain, thanks to TOM. I should have counted Wednesday, I was down 1 pound then! Oh well.. there is always next week.

Shari - I am no stranger to work crap.. I feel for yah! Hope everything works out.

I have been busy cleaning still, there is SO much to do.. I'm attempting to do my closet today, you can see I am doing a GREAT job. I'm on here instead of having my head stuck in there rearranged and cleaning!

-Aimee

ugh...housework sucks!! but somebody's gotta do it!

I take it this is the Christmas Challenge thread. Can I join?

I hit my last goal, 152 by my birthday (28th Oct) exactly on the morning of my birthday, which was great. So my next goal is 12 lbs by Christmas, which will take me to my longterm goal.

Down 2.8 already (would have been more but for a bad Halloween). So I have high hopes I can do this.

The danger areas of parties and birthdays are now out of the way and I have a clear run to Christmas. Oh, except the works night out on 15th Dec - forgot about that. I'll just have to be super good beforehand so I have a couple of pounds to play with.

I'm still stuck at 180-181. Grar! I would LOVE to be under 170 by Christmas, at least. I'm getting married December 30th. I wish I could isolate exactly what it is. Also I know I need to exercise more. that's why I have been quiet anyway, nothing new to report.

Just wanted to say, no need to worry about me! I am still here... just been working. Put in 14 hours yesterday - today I am going in for 10 and could be there till tomorrow... this is my first time working on Saturday in over a year and a hafl!

I think the scale is down, well I know it is - just have to hope I can get a weigh in. I am being good... except the cubby chicken and fries I had last night - work brought it in for us hard workers.

Anyway chat with you ladies later (and catch up on reading)
