DIS Ladies Only Trip 2007 WISH!

[IMGONNABE40!]

Skipping the pot luck sounds like a good plan. Can you do a little shopping instead? They always have one at my husband's office and actually call it the "Pig Out" It starts with too many donuts and such in the morning and runs nearly all day. He will be out of the office at a meeting that day and I told him it is just as well.

Wendy, i'm sorry the past week was bad for you, I hope things are better now !! and i'm so glad to hear that you made some new friends !! good for you !!

I hope you can keep your momentum, just keep thinking how great you feel about yourself when you stick with the diet and excercise !! I know it's hard, like I have said before, it's a daily struggle for me, but I think we can all do this


And for you people who would have liked to see me fall off the treadmill........ shame on you

I'm glad to. Of course.... They will never replace all my crazies here though.

I agree with it being hard. I was doing really great. Then my DH left on his trip and I kinda fell into a chasim of depressing. Now he's back and I'm better. Of course I'm now currently battling a fricking cold! My throat hurt so bad lastnight and I kept getting hot and then cold. It was terrible.

Love ya Anita.

I am a big fan of the panninis as well. My fav is the chicken with spinach and mushrooms. I need to go buy some more of them. They really help me stay on track with the calorie counting.

That is my favorite as well

They are good. It's helped me not gain weight these days.
I eat alot at work. People are always bringing in cookies, cakes etc which is hard to refuse.
I'll be happy after the hoildays when all the food is gone.

I'm not doing our pot-luck. It's always so much food and I can't controll myself with normal portions.

I wouldn't be able to control myself either if everyone was bringing goodies in

I'm glad to. Of course.... They will never replace all my crazies here though.

Sorry you're sick Wendy, that really sucks !! I hope you start feeling better soon love ya too

Good for you all keeping up with the weight loss.

Thank you Kat




I lost one pound this week, I had hoped for more, but I have to admit that I didn't do my best, I had a few really good days, but to equal it out, I had a couple of not so good one's, but at least it's a loss and not a gain I aint complainin' !!!!

 

[TinksPixieDust]

Hello Kat.

Congrat's Anita! I think I need to put a Post-it or something on my mirror so I remember to hope on the scale in the morning.

 

[mommaU4]

Hello ladies! I had deleted my subscription to this thread, and until Wendy told me, I didn't realize it was still up and running. That's wonderful!!

I'm so happy for all of you that are continuing to work hard. Especially you Anita! 6 miles????? Damn, that's amazing.

How much has everyone lost total so far?

I should get back to trying. Or at least trying not to gain during this time of year. One good thing about getting sick and then not eating much since then, is I've lost some weight. About 10 lbs. Probably all water weight though!

Anyways, keep up the awesome work everyone!!

Holy cow Beth, 10 pounds !??! that's awesome !!!!!!!!! if you decide you want to try again, we'll be here, or at least I will..... I hope I really don't want to give up !! this thread and you all being here really helps me, thanks for starting it Kat !! I have always had a hard time staying on a diet, but i've never had anyone to diet with before, so that has to be the key

My loss so far is 31 pounds Beth !!! but of course it's a daily struggle to lose more and not put any back on

 

[TinksPixieDust]

Wow.... Beth 10 lbs! Keep it up!

So I finally hopped up on the scale... Somehow.. I managed to weigh the same that I did just about a month ago. That was the last time I weighed in. I was really glad when I saw that number on the scale.

 

[AdventurerKat]

You've done very well, Anita. You should be proud of yourself.

Good luck to everyone as you continue on here.

 

[Yardbird]

Anita, I wish I had your energy, I have no doubt that you will continue until you reach your goal.

I've lost 7 pounds, which really could have been more by now. I visited my mother for a few days, all she wants to do is feed me We are also in the middle of a move, and have been doing lots of take-out. However, after the holidays (and the move) are over, I'm getting back on track.

Everyone keep up the good work!

That's wonderful Anita!! Wow. Although you know that I never felt you had that much to lose. I always thought you looked good.
I know you'll keep at it!!

As for my 10 lbs, heck anyone can get sick!!

That's great Wendy. It's always nice to see you didn't gain when you thought you might have, especially this time of year.

7 pounds is really good Debbie. Congratulations to you. I know how hard a move a can be. We ate out soooo much when we first moved here, most of it fast food. Ugh. Keep at it, I know you can do it.

Weighing the same at this time of year is a big accomplishment.
It's so hard with all the goodies around.

7 pounds is great. Between the move and the holidays you have alot going on.

I'll be more on track after the hoildays too.

Thanks Joanne !!! I hope we all continue to support each other, sometimes I come here and re-read everything, it really helps !!

 

[TinksPixieDust]

That's a really good idea Anita. I should probably do that once in awhile.

 

[IMGONNABE40!]

Hey everybody! Sounds like everyone is doing well, whether losing or staying the same. I am glad you are all still here. I am going to start a thread on WISH called "What are you bringing to dinner?" I would like to gather some ideas for what to bring that will help me and others stay on track with all the partying.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

Christine, that was a good idea!

The recipe that was posted sounds good! I hope you get more on there.

Anita's idea helped yesterday. I wanted cookies or something sweet to eat after lunch but came here to read instead.

 

[mommaU4]

This trip is going to be bad for me, I can tell!! Hopefully the walking will help combat all this food I've already eaten.....

It's hard to diet when you are on vacation good luck Beth !!!! keep on walking

 

[Mom2Ashli]

You guys are doing so Great. Keep up the Good Work.

I think after the holidays Terry and I are both going to try and do some more exercising. I am just not go watching what I eat. Maybe if we did more exercise that might help.
