150 Club...care to join???

[toystoryduo]

Good morning Club 150!

Sorry I haven't been here the past few days... we have been very busy!

I have been keeping up with my exercise and food has mostly been OP. Yesterday, I went off program a bit and had a few french fries and about 8 Doritos. It's funny... the fries don't appeal to me as much anymore (unless they're covered in cheese ), but the Doritos still are yummy! When will they make a low carb Dorito????

I've been thinking about possible extending Phase 1 of SBD for one more week. I'm not sure I will show much of a loss this week. I haven't been pushing water as much and have had a few small cheats here and there. We'll see what happens.

Tara~ Sending lots of prayers your way for court today!

Linda~ I 'm sorry you're not feeling well. Hope you feel better soon! We got about 3-4 inches of snow overnight, but no black ice. Please be careful today!

Have a great day everyone! Keep up the good work! You CAN do it!

Tracy - Have you checked the grocery stores in your area? I do believe they have come out with a low carb Doritos. I will check the next time I go grocery shopping.

Keep moving - you are doing GREAT!! Glad to hear french fries don't appeal to you I think McDonald's french fries have to be one of my all time favorite foods........haven't had them in ages.......ok ok have to stop thinking about them

Have a magical Disney Day!!

Linda

Tara-Sending you lots of prayers, pixie dust and good vibes for a winning outcome at court today! Hopefully the judge will not the type to be swayed by anything other than the facts!

Linda-Be careful out there! I too, am getting sick of the snow and cold temps! It's be nice to see what color my SUV is under all that salt! Hoping your cold is better soon and your scale goes back down for ya!

Tracy-
OMG-fries covered in cheese, sounds good, I mean horrible, horrible, horrible, lol! I though the Doritos I had at home were lo-carb but DH must have polished off the bag. Now that I think of it they were the Light Doritos. But I have seen the lo carb version, I believe the are called Doritos Edge and have 6 net carbs per 14 chips. Maybe they have them in your area??

Today is a rest day, saw that lower number on my scale again, but I'm not claiming it, lol! Just don't trust my scale that much, even though it is newer. I'll wait to my "official" weighing at the Discovery Store tomorrow--I know it will be at least 25 pounds gone-wahoo!!!

Hope everyone has a terrific day & a great weekend. Our DS is spending it with his grandpa about an hour away so DH & I will be alone for a change. Except we have a gazillion things to do--my weigh-in, local Disney meet, a baby shower for a Disney fan, 2 dinners out. I'm praying I have a decnet weekend and will enjoy my meals but workout hard too!

Just want to let everyone know that I started a WISH journal yesterday. It felt really good just writing down the things I ate, things I planned to do and what I did. I think it will help me figure out when I sabatoge myself. Or better yet, just help keep me focused. Feel free to check my journal and see how I am doing.

Tara - Thanks for the encouragement that I only have 71lbs to go to get into the 150's club. It did make things seem a bit brighter.

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Well the good news is the cookies didn't come in!!! So if they do they are still going into the fridge. I have discovered as I obsess over every detail of our Disney Trip that I don't snack as much in my spare time...awww what Disney has done for me. And this board of such wonderful wonderful supporters!!

Tara~ Saying a prayer for you and your family today. I hope everything goes your way and know you have a lot of people on here pulling for you. Let us know the outcome when you find out!! Have a great day!

Linda~ I don't envy you!! I wish I could take all the snow away for you cuz after all the snow I've seen in my last 3 winters up here in AK..I'm not a big fan anymore LOL! Please do be careful if you are going to wander outside..and since its warmer here than it is there..I'll send the warmth your way LOL

Tracy~ hmmmm french fries..sound so good right now..and is 5:25 in the morning LOL!! I too find that a lot of things I used to eat I just don't want or my system can't handle anymore!! Hope you will be able to find your Doritos, I love those things too!!

welovedis~ Can 't wait to celebrate with you tomorrow on the loss of 25 pounds...You have done a great job!! Just seeing so many people losing really motivates me.. SO THANK YOU!! And I can't wait to be excited with you!!

Have a great day Guys,
FlipperJen

Regina, Kathy, sarahsmom Hope you are having a great day!

Here's hoping everyone has an awesome weekend!! Resist all those evil temptations along the way!!

 

[lmhall2000]

Awwww...thanks for the prayers..they really really helped!! I've only broken down once today! I lost the case because the defendant's attorney objected to every piece of evidence...apparently all my vet bills can't be cross-examined...disappointing...but I knew it was a possibility....so I had to pay $250 for an appeal...and THIS time I'm bringing the vet with me....the attorney I spoke to says I can't lose with the vet and their attorney tried to "scare" me by telling me if I took it further he would put his fees on my bill...puhleease....that's where your prayers came in! I sweetly and genuinely (to my surprise) took his hand and thanked him for his concern for me and said that I would be appealing that day. The funny thing was when he came into court he introduced himself as the attorney representing the "Hall's"..uhhhh, that's me fella...think you got your clients switched...I informed the judge that he was mistaken and actually representing XYZ...kinda funny...he doesn't even know the names of his clients.

I've had a crappy eating day...1/2 a slimfast...out of milk and no time to get groceries, two chicken tenders at the zoo, and 1/2 a reese peanut butter cup..had to eat it because there's no way to split a Reese's 3 ways....the kids were all vying for that 1/2 of the second piece and I just popped it into my mouth for sake of saving my children from climbing up on that molehill....the sacrifices we make! If it were a french fry they were fighting over I would have dropped it on the floor and squished it (I've boycotted those for 100 days) but since I'm allowed chocolate and peanut butter it went right in! The cool thing is I wore a size 12 dress to court...a bit snug but it fit well! I'm soo pumped that this weight is coming off!! I am down a pound from yesterday....and all this stress is sacking my cravings....but you guys are helping me stay above the rain clouds!!! Thanks!!!

Tara

 

[sarahsmom73]

Good morning all!!!

Tara! I am sorry about your case!

Lesli54~ Welcome!

I hope everyone who has had it with this crappy winter hangs in there! ( I know I am on my last nerve!!!)


FRENCH FRIES???!!!!!

 

[lmhall2000]

I weigh daily...and actually I think it's helped me stay on plan....but today I saw 186.0!!! That officially puts me back on my 55 pound clippie that I've been carrying for over a year and have lost almost all the weight I gained last year in 7 weeks!!! My lowest on my bad scales was 182 just one pound shy of 60 pound clippie...so in 5 more pounds I can claim that new clippie and be on the berth of the 170's!!!! YEAH!!!! I probably cried a pound of tears yesterday...so I need to put lots water back in!!!

Let's get moving this weeked!!!! I'm off to do my weekend cleaning...a showing today!

Drink your water...make good food choices...let's make this weekend a no JUNK FOOD weekend!!! Just veggies/fruits/meat/whole grains and water!!! I'll give up chocolate chips if y'all can tell me what you'll give up this weekend!!

Tara

 

[RF536]

Yesterday was weigh-in and I maintained again. The good news is that I am back in track and hopefully things will stay calm here so that I can focus on myself more. Most of this weekend will be spent at home, since DH has training for the fire department both days, which makes it easier for my to stay on plan and exersicise.

We got more snow overnight, I am so ready for spring and nicer weather, no I can get outside more.


Tara- I am sorry to hear about your case, hopefully your appeal will go your way.

Keep up the hard work everyone.

Regina

 

[clr1194]

I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far!

Tara - Sorry about your case. I am sending pixie dust and good vibes your way for the appeal. I wish I had read your last post earlier. I have eaten 3 slices of pizza and there is still more in the kitchen. So I will give up on the rest of the pizza for the weekend and drink lots of water.

Keep going everyone, you are doing great!!

Christie

 

[lmhall2000]

Regina..I actually like maintain weeks because it shows me what I need to do in the future to maintain my ultimate goal week, and when I look back on what I did or didn't do I realize "hey, that's pretty good!" And even better...it sets your body up for a good loss the next week!!! I tend to have 3 weeks of 1 pound losses...one pound of maintain then a whoosh of 3-4 pounds on that last week...just works out that way!! So here's to a great losing week for you this week!

Christie...pizza is soo good and soo hard to eat just one. It's behind you and you can work that good stuff off in quick time! Flush it with loads of water and let all those active muscles take over for you!


Confession...I said NO JUNK food and while at a picnic eating my turkey salad from Subway I saw that open bag of Doritos and really was craving something carby...I couldn't eat the potato chips my son was eating because I've banned french fries and potato chips are too close to that....and I rationalized the doritos because they're made from corn not white bread stuff so I had 5. UGH!!! To make it worse I had 5 sips of my daughter's chocolate shake...
NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS!!! I regrouped and walked 5 miles today...again it took me 1 hour and 30 minutes but I'm just glad I did it...my feet are still throbbing...but I feel strong to make it a good day after all!

 

[flipperjc]

YEAH!! Well I weighed in this morning and I had a 3.0lb loss this week..which officially means I have made it to the 70s people LOL!! I'm so excited. And that was with minimal exercise, not that I didn't want to work out, time was an issue. So this week I'm going to make exercising and drinking all my water a huge priority and see what a huge difference will be made...Congrats to all the losers this week...keep it up!!

 

[lmhall2000]

LOOK AT YOU FLipper!!! You just joined us and you're giving some of the crew a run for their money!!! You could be one of the first to reach the 150's and tell us what it's like!!!! So everytime someone jumps into a new number (10's place) you must tell us what it feels like and any changes you like in the new number!!! So come on spill!!!

Congrats!!! 3 pounds is huge!!! Not so far to go now!

Hey gang! Let's follow Flipper on down!!

Tara

 

[sarahsmom73]

Good Morning Crew!!

I hope you are all having a great, healthy weekend!!! I feel big losses coming on this week!!!

Man those water bottles and let's go!

 

[flipperjc]

Good Morning My fellow Losers!!

Tara~Thank you so much for the encouragment! I was disappointed to hear about your case and wanted to let you know I'm sending huge bags of luck and hugs your way!!

Well the biggest thing I have noticed is that my figure is coming back. Last night my hubby goes, the thing I like the most is when I look at you from behind, you are getting slimmer...my waist line is coming back..which is awesome!! I love it...so this week exercise is on my list..and water...need to drink all my water..note to self get bottle back from best friend's house LOL!!

Good Luck this week guys and don't give in for today at the expense of tomorrow..we can all do this together!!

Jen

 

[welovedis]

Tara-I'm so sorry to hear about the court case. Hope you whip them on appeals though!

Flipper-WTG! The 170's must be awesome! Nice of your DH to say that too, I enjoy it when DH noticed things as I don't say much about my losses unless he asks and then he is always shocked & thrilled for me!

Well, yesterday was the big day, I weighed in at the Discovery Store for the Discovery Health National Body Challenge. I weighed myself at home right before I left so I knew according to my scale I was down exactly 26 pounds. Unfortunately they had their scales in a different part of the store-weigh-in was on the hard tiles and now they moved to the rug. I really didn't think of it until I heard someone in front of me complain about it. I was only down 23.3 on their scales. The woman who was taking my weight and BF % agreed that they should have been on the tile.

Anyway--they had a TV crew there and I talked with them for a few minutes about what I have been doing and how I accomplished the weight loss. They gave me a certificate, t-shirt and a $100 gift card to the Discovery Store. They said they would contact me IF the segment was going to air, they were not sure at this point how many people they would be meeting with all over the country. I really don't care about that part at all. I did it for myself to prove that I could do it!

Thanks for all the support and encouragement! I will have to grab my clippie and change my tickers later-we are off to pick up DS from a weekend at grandpa's house about an hour away and before that we are going to pick up some new bedroom carpet and kitchen flooring-yeah!

 

[lmhall2000]

WE LOVE DIS and we love welovedis!! You are amazing Losing 26 (wrong scale for them) pounds on the Discovery Challenge...and doesn't it officially end on Thursday? You could even blow more off!! I started my whole recommitment on that Thursday and it'll be neat to see where the scale stands for me, right now I'm at about 16 pounds lost....I wish I had cable so I could see your success to inspire me...but your words and posts alone keep me motivated and sticking to it...so THANK YOU!!!!

Have fun picking out carpet and flooring...while that's fun and a treat..please do something special for yourself for losing 26 pounds!!! A new goal outfit, some shoes...anything!! YOU DESERVE IT!!!!

Keep up the great work!!!
Tara

 

[Tiggerkeeper]

Hey gang! Official weigh in numbers follow!!! 3 pounds for the week for a total of 25 pounds lost so far!! I am at 180. I am happy dancing!

For those of you who are tired of the snow I can sympathize the "yellow" snow has started here and with it comes sniffing, running, itching, pounding head, etc. I detest pollen!!

Regina, maintaining is a good thing!

Tara, that really stinks about your court case. I would put a leash on that vet and make sure he appears at the appeal. We won't even comment on the Doritos.....

Christie, step away from the pizza!

flipperjc - Congrats on the 3 lb. loss that's fantastic! What a sweet hubby you have!

Karen, wow! 26 lbs. is huge! Congrats! Let us know if they call you for the tv appearance! And you were right that scale needed to be on a flat surface for accurate measurement.

Hope everyone has a great day! I'm going to go find my claritin and take a nap!
