HAPPY BIRTHDAY MYGIRLS!!!


Pixie - Great job!

Bee - Congrats! You are now in a great place to start next week! When will Grumpy be back? We miss him!

Do the jeans run small at Lane Bryant or did I actually gain weight on a diet?! My old 18's were snug do I graqbbed 2 pair 20's at mall and I have at least 2 inches before I can button but my 18 a.n.a jeans from JCPenney fit fine.
I have developed multiple health issues all at once and just keep getting weepy.Instead of giving me a hug DH says sarcastically get some professional help and walks away. How can such a brilliant man be such a blockhead?
I hope you are all doing well with the dieting and have a good weekend. I have to work then help at DD play selling concesssions.
See ya Sunday.
Di

+2.6 lbs. I need to superglue my lips!

I am sorry that your DH had a case of menarputz, hopefully he will be over it soon. Do not get discouraged! I have to keep reminding myself that it took me quite awhile to get to the weight I am now and it will take time to remove it. We are eating healthier and it is good for my whole family. We can do this!

Hye, Peeps, I was busy the past couple nights, but hope to catch up this weekend.

Down 4 pounds this week!

Congrats! 4 pounds!

lOSS OF 4 LBS YIPPEEE!! i CAN NOW PUT ON A 15LB RIBBON!! I can't tell you all how happy I am. I am now at 202 and you know I will be over the moon when I get under the 200 mark!

Thanks to all of you crazy peeps I think I can really do this. I am feeling haelthy, by the way, no colon blow yesterday. I am wondering how much gas weighs as close your eyes I could have put my boys to shame yesterday!

I am finally believing that this April thing is possible and maybe not the number I wnat to be at but I will not be at the number I started with in January!

That means you know I could feel a bit adventerous and dangerous in Disney...Watch out Tigger I may just grab that tail!!!!

WOOOHOOOOTY Fidge!

AWESOME, FIDGITTE!!!!
I think you'll have that other milestone to report next week! WAY TO GO!!!

My mom just sent me a link to the front page news on my hometown paper. Mom has been named interim director of the chamber of commerce. She was retired for 2 weeks when they asked her to take over. Hopefully they'll find someone soon and she'll go back to "retirement". Isn't she cute?

I think I can see a resemblance! Your mom is beautiful!

Oops forgot to say Way to go FIDGE!!!

Stacy hope everything goes well today and you get answers!

Bee - great attitude!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! I'm so proud of you!

HI all newbies, and preggies and losers and nonlosers...

lets see if we can lose a child this week - figuratively speaking of course!!!

Thanks Harley. I am kind of dreading the MRI because you have to lay flat on a hard table and not move. Laying down is painful. I guess I will have to wait until Monday to find out anything. We are going to the funeral today of the girl who died this week. Funerals for children are always hard.

 

[Bee]

Down 2 lbs. for a total of 5! It's finally starting to melt away. I'll be back later to read about others. Happy Friday!

Go get your ribbon!


Stacey- Grumpy comes home today. Tongiht.

The MRI killed me and I have had 3 in the past year. They SUCK. But, you will be fine.

Sorry about the funeral you have to go today..

 

[MA pigletfan]

Yup! I just went through this. 3 weeks with no loss, but this week I was down 3

oh good..so there is hope!

 

[PrincessV]

What a bunch of LOSERS!!!
CONGRATS to everyone who lost this week - I knew you could do it!

For the uppers (hmmm, that doesn't sound quite right!), and same-the-samers, take heart - I'm here to tell you without a doubt weight fluctuates all over the palce for reasons you may never expect...
pigget, you'll appreciate this: I have a lot of hair on my head. And I know how much heavier it feels when wet. So I conducted a little experiment today. Weighed-in before and after shower. Ready for this?
a 3 pound difference! I can't tell you how many times I've weighed in post-shower and couldn't understand how I gained 3 pounds in one day.

to all who are facing challenges on this day. Things WILL get better, my friends!

ACCOUNTABILITY: Season premiere of Survivor last night - no way was I going to miss half the dialogue thanks to the roar of the TM. I could've parked my behind on the couch and called it a day off. Instead, I got out my old step and did some step aerobics during the commercial breaks, for a total of 20 minutes!

Keep on slimming... we can do it!

 

[spongemommie05]

Up .5 pounds This is with my hair wet--so when I dry it I will re weigh. THis has been a week --just took a little longer to rebound after super bowl. Hopefully I will not gain and might lose about a pound next week.


DH saw my ticker last night (that just sounds so vulgar) Anyway, I was doing laundry and the machine was making a strange noise--so I left just my spot up on the computer so all you could see was our characters and ages and then the tickers and went and checked ot the noise. He came into the laundry room and said, "When were you ging to tell me." I just smiled and replied, "You saw my ticker!" Yes, he did and he is very excited. He said he grinned when he read it. He had know idea. We weren't trying to get pregnant or trying not to--more of along the lines if it happens it happens. He then said I guess our cruise next year is off--I wonder when we will be able to go on one again. I just looked at him and grinned. I did offer to sell our DVC points, but he said we would wait a while on that one, b/c we want to take this one to Disney as well. I was just thinking that monthly payment to them would help as far as offsetting daycare We aren't telling people here until after our Disney trip--well by best friend knows, but other than that no one knows.

HAve to go get ready. HAPPY WEIGH IN DAY EVERYONE!

what a cute story

Wow i am posting before UM! that never happens or watch we will be posting same time ...
I am the same which is fine with me at least i am not gaining..
Congrats to all the loosers & stay the samers Only on the dis boards is (stay the samers )okay to say anywhere else we would be considered illiterate
everyone have a great skinnie minnie day..

 

[DisneyObsession]

Quick question...how is everyone doing on their water consumption ????

I am having a hard time with water...at 2 degrees at mid-day, who want to drink cold water?!? I am trying to drink herbal tea to get some of the water in. Averaging 48oz a day instead of 64oz. I need to do better!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

OK, I'll start with my weigh in. I lost .6 lbs, bringing me to 238, for a total loss of 12 lbs. Not exactly what I was hoping for. I really wanted that 15 lb. ribbon. I never should have re-weighed last Fri. evening. It was actually lower, but at a different time of day, who knows? I know I had Super Bowl Sunday this week, but I walked for hours on Saturday and have really been keeping my calories low since Sunday. I am frustrated! I am eating enough calories for someone who weighs roughly 75 lbs. less than what I weigh. I should be losing faster! I am trying to talk myself out of the funk, and it has improved since I weighed this morning. I know I still lost, and I am thankful for that. I was just getting ahead of myself - thinking about IF I was down 15, where could I be in another 1,2, or 3 months. I know I can still get there. I just have to be patient and keep on slimming. I NEED to start exercising this week! My goal - get on my recumbent bike for 30 min. at least twice and use my exercise ball at least twice. I also think my cheat day this week will be a bit more reasonable than last Sunday was. OK, I am done ranting about that. I lost .6 lbs! Yay me! And yay to all the other losers, samers, and gainers just for being here!

Did anyone watch Grey's Anatomy tonight? I that show!!!

Yes!!! I LOVE that show too!!! And OMGosh! Don't leave me hangin' like that! I won't say what happened in case anyone hasn't seen it yet, but holy cow! This was me after the show - ! How am I supposed to make it a week before there's more???

Did everybody read this??? This sounds like a LOT of food! Good job, Lynda! Is there any meaning in the baby carrots??

It was a lot of food! And thanks for pointing it out and telling me I did good. I need it today. I always love reading your morning posts. And no, the baby carrots don't mean anything. I wish they did though!

I am recording Greys...I'll go watch after this.

I gotta tell y'all something cute and funny!
Norah (my 2 year old for the off-chance anyone doesn't know her by now) can climb out of her crib. So for her safety, I removed the one rail and it's a "day bed" now. So she gets out alot. And is creative for the reasoning too. SOOOO, a few minutes ago, she came slowly into the kitchen with a blanket covering her whispering, "WoOooOOoo"... so I said in a semi-loud voice:
"OH ! A GHOST! I'm scared!" which FREAKED her out. She wipped off the blaket and looked around for the ghost and then ran to me all skeered!!!! I was totally laughing so hard, NO sound was coming out!!!

That story is adorable! And I love it when things are so funny, no sound comes out! That is the best! I have a friend who does that often, and I don't see her nearly enough, so whenever I see or hear about someone doing that, I think of her.

And what about Grey's??? OMG!!! (see above)

 

[the Fidge]

I can't stnad cold water when its sooo cold, I will try hot water with a lemon wedge tongiht and see how that is, will let you know!

OK ready for a giggle .... I went for an interview at the local hotel here. WE are in a toursity kinda town. I was asked if I would consider being a TOUR GUIDE on the baot, what a hoot!!!! TOO FUNNY!!

I got a spring in my step today, can't you picutre me as plus size TOUR GUIDE BARBIE!!!
Bye Bye Bye bye bye bye

OK now another happy note, I got called back for 2nd interview today for a differnt job the one I interviewdd for the other day. The gal said she was interviewing all next week and setting up 2nd interviews the following week?? Very confusing but thats ok as I am still dressed from this am interview. By the way I got the job in the evenings at the local hotel! Very exciting will start in several weeks, I wanted to get out there as there are not many PT jobs to be had. Was fearful I would be pumping gas in 0 degree weather ans that would not be very good right now!

Ok ladies I am on fire thanks for keeping me sparked!!

Love you guys!!! Have I told you that lately?? Ok so maybe 3 hours ago!

 

[the Fidge]

Yeah Linda!!! Good job!!!!

Thanks Harley. I am kind of dreading the MRI because you have to lay flat on a hard table and not move. Laying down is painful. I guess I will have to wait until Monday to find out anything. We are going to the funeral today of the girl who died this week. Funerals for children
are always hard.

Hardest funeral I ever had to go to was when my next door neighbor's baby died at 4 months old. He had a heart condition. He never even got to come home from the hospital. To top it all off I was 8 1/2 months pregnant at the time and felt guilty. It was a big decision as to whether I should got to the funeral or if it would be to hard for my neighbor. It was Christmas time and it was so sad!

Good luck getting through the day!

 

[jeriber]

I am still the same again. Not going to let it get to me, though. I know that I am making positive changes and when the weight is ready to go bye-bye it will go.

Good news at our house. Dh owns a business in the mountains of Colorado that he has run for several years which means he is away from home 4 days a week. Well a business here in Cheyenne has come up for sale which is right along the lines of what he wants to do when he grows up so he is selling the business in Colorado and will be home full time now. I am totally excited for the new business as it is a fitness center and I will be able to go and work out when I can squeeze it into my schedule (DH has been telling me since we got married that a gym membership cost too much but apparently the same is not true for gym ownership ). Anyway, I am totally excited

 

[the Fidge]

What a bunch of LOSERS!!!

I resemble that remark!!!

 

[pixie dust 112]

oh good..so there is hope!

Just keep slimmin! The plateaus are very frustrating! It's very tempting to eat a plate of brownies or a family size bag of potato chips!!!

 

[pixie dust 112]

I am having a hard time with water...at 2 degrees at mid-day, who want to drink cold water?!? I am trying to drink herbal tea to get some of the water in. Averaging 48oz a day instead of 64oz. I need to do better!

I'm with ya! It is so cold here. I am drinking hot water with lemon! It's really yummy!

 

[mlill]

I am eating enough calories for someone who weighs roughly 75 lbs. less than what I weigh. I should be losing faster!

Hang in there! The weight WILL come off!

We watch Grey's, too! I have to admit, it was a good episode last night! I hope they don't wait too long to get Alex and Addison together! What do you guys think about Callie? Do you like her or not? We've decided that we really like Callie O'Mally! I'm sure Meridith will be OK, but I can't wait to see how they find her!

Lynda,

I've been watching your posts and I don't think you're eating enough! I think your body believes you are starving so it's storing the fat. I think you need at least 2000 calories a day. I started at 230 and decided that I wanted to initially lose 20 lbs so I ate 2100 calories a day. I've lost 18 since we started (had a terrible plateau for 3 weeks in Jan/Feb) as I lose 10 lbs I decrease my calories by 100. This week I'll eat 1900 calories each day! If I have extra calories left at the end of the day, I treat myself to a snack! By the way 12 lbs is awesome!

I can't stnad cold water when its sooo cold, I will try hot water with a lemon wedge tongiht and see how that is, will let you know!

OK ready for a giggle .... I went for an interview at the local hotel here. WE are in a toursity kinda town. I was asked if I would consider being a TOUR GUIDE on the baot, what a hoot!!!! TOO FUNNY!!

You're going to put all of these prospective employers into a bidding war to get you to work for them!

[UtahMama]

I'm a gainer this week. Stupid no colon blow. No, that's not it. I didnt try. I started out trying but still need to exercise. I KNOW THIS! The basics are: eat less (i do) and move more (i dont). Without one or the other its for sure 100% doomed to failure. I know this first hand. Ask Bob from the Oprah show. Ask Bob from the Biggest Loser. Ask any of the Biggest Loser participants. Ask anyone who's ever maintained any weight loss ever. I need to exercise!!!!!!!!! I'm mad at myself for being lazy and thinking I can do this without exercising when it's never worked in the past.

When I dont try hard enough, why am I surprised when I dont lose?
I'm on the right track. I think the "eating" less (eating very healthy, making good choices, water, water, water etc) is definitely awesome. So I'm focused on the good. Now I need to focus on the NEED TO EXERCISE!!!! I know I sound mad or discouraged, but I'm not at all. I'm really happy! I have the support. I have the knowledge. I have alllll the tools I need. No more excuses, huh? I can and will do this. Conquer this. I will not give up! I'm worth it!!!

I've been thinking about that saying, "The first bite tastes as good as the last". Sometimes we are not eating to taste it. Sometimes we're eating not to stuff ourselves but to stuff down feelings...one bite doesn't stuff down feelings very well.

Sorry, I know I sound down. I'm not! I'm doing some soul searching and just sharing my feelings. Recognizing my strengths and weeknesses. I needed to do this for myself.

EXERCISE! Move more and eat less! I can do this!




Including the early bird, Duncanssweetie, so far it's 33!!! (I didnt count the gains) Y'all ROCK!!!! Moo and Fidge lost 4!!!! Francesca and Duncanssweetie and Wonders and pixiedust lost 3!!! BIG LOSERS!!!!!



SO Proud!!!!
