Sandy...have a wonderful trip! Have lots of pictures taken, ok?


WARNING: I just ate an entire platefull of broccoli stir fry.

I'll just blame the dog.

Hi all,

Ive been MUCH better with my food choices today, very healthy and lots of fruit and veg! Ive just had a WW Salmon and Broccolli wedge melt with a ton of veg, so now im filled with veggie gorgeousness! And, I managed to drink all of my water!

Dawn - I dont know how I missed it, but sorry about your nose! Im glad its not black and broken today!

Kat - I have sooo much trouble with the water, Dawn was kind enough to give me a website to go to where I can order crystal light because I cant find anything similar over here, so I hope that'll help me!

WIDisneyfan - They do show Seinfeld over here, I think its on one of the Paramount comedy channels, I love that show! Its my kind of humour (then again, most things are!). Im a couple of hours away from Redditch, but our accents are quite different - although I dont think I have an accent!

Sandy - Thanks for the welcome! Good luck for Saturday, I'll be thinking about you (it'll be mid-morning here I believe!) and Woohoo on the -3lbs!

Daisy77 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

The original CSI is definately my favourite, I liked the CSI Miami man when he was in NYPD Blue, but theres something about the way he talks on CSI Miami that makes me a bit wary of him!!

I made a large pot of broccoli soup today. Froze a bunch for future thursdays when I need a boost!

 

[Sandy321]

Wendy and Mon

I'm sure there are more culprits around your places!!

Monica and thank you so much!!

I just heard someone walking around upstairs - oops I TOTALLY FORGOT DS WAS HOME!! Seriously, he was home by ten pm, its 2PM now!!

but he doesnt plan on going to bed before he takes dh and I to Ohare at 4am, then he drives back here, wakes dd up at 6:30am and to school at 7:30am... maybe I should write this down for him!!

 

[MJMouse]

Hey, Illinois and Iowa Peeps... I'm going to be in Moline/Rock Island, Illinois next week. Anybody close who can give me some good restaurant recommendations??

 

[HockeyKat]

Stephenie Meyer. Yes I spelled Stephenie right. The first book is Twilight. Or you can just ask for the Twilight series...it'll save ya some time.

I have watched that show too. They smuggle in food!!!!
I used to weigh just about 300 pounds, so I know a little of what that feels like. I really feel so bad for them. BUT, it's a good reason to put down the cookie, I AGREE.


Did anyone watch Biggest Loser last night? It is soooo good this time.
See, I'm one who thinks she can lose weight without much excercise...but these folks look tone and FIT...you can totally tell when dieters don't exercise. All flabby and week and saggy. I need to kick it up a notch!!!!!!

Thanks for the info!! They classify by genre and then author last name, so I should be able to find it pretty easily.

I feel bad for them too, but I also see it as motivation to stop my own bad eating.

And WOW!! You have to feel REALLY proud of yourself to have lost so much. Even if you feel like you could or should do more, it is awesome that you have come so far.

Hi all,

...

Kat - I have sooo much trouble with the water, Dawn was kind enough to give me a website to go to where I can order crystal light because I cant find anything similar over here, so I hope that'll help me!
...

The original CSI is definately my favourite, I liked the CSI Miami man when he was in NYPD Blue, but theres something about the way he talks on CSI Miami that makes me a bit wary of him!!

I have a 32 oz water bottle that I fill up and force myself to choke down one in the AM and one in the afternoon. I consider it "diet medicine" and that makes it easier.

Sandy, you rock!! Totally rooting for you this weekend!

 

[UtahMama]

Getting the headache! YEESH! It's my whole darn head too. throbbing.

I truly am THAT addicted to caffeine.

So I'm drinking even more water. When the headache gets unbearable, I'll swig another diet pepsi. I really spend a LOT on diet pepsi.

Cold Turkey is not an option since I don't want to become mean...which I would.

I don't even have the goal to completely stop. Just REALLY cut back.

Oh!!!! On the Devil Wears Prada, I love when Andrea is getting her 15 min. lunch and chooses corn chowder and Nigel says, "Cellulite is the main ingredient in corn chowder" I just died laughing. That will be my new all-purpose phrase for dieting!

 

[LMO429]

have a great time Sandy! Happy Birthday Daisy 77

I'm trying to catch up with the Peeps, its alot of pages! I hope everyone is doing well.

I booked my day to go wedding dress shopping at Kleinfelds on February 1st. So Im trying to put in some extra exercise until then. Today I did Cardio Party 3 from Turbo Jam and the 20 minute Hip Hop Abs workout ..I was sweating but I was having fun! The whole time I kept thinking about being able to wear tank tops to the parks when I go in May.

 

[Pakey]

Hi all. It's 4 days now until we take off for WDW but whose counting. Of course my little baby doggie, Andy, has come down with an eye infection so it's a rush to the vet. We get a house sitter for the dogs but Andy won't let anyone but me touch him so he won't get any medicine next week. I feel terrible about it but there's nothing I can do since it's his choice to hate everyone in the world but his mommy.

Kat--we'll see ya in a few weeks because you will not have time to dis once you meet Edward in that Twilight series. I borrowed the books from my aunt and I've read them and should return them but I'll feel lost without Edward in my home so I'm hanging onto those books until she begs for their return.

Wendy--thanks for the Cinnabon heads up. I'll probably take a blindfold and noseplugs as we cruise past it. We're going to Yachtsman Steakhouse that night so I'm saving my calories for that meal! I'm already dreading the weigh in when I get back because we've got some great eat's planned. No broccoli soup for this peep.

Aaron--I love Seinfeld. No joke, I wore black clothes for a week after the final episode. I don't think I've fully recovered from the loss of that show yet. The "high" talker was great but I'm partial to the "close" talker myself. Gosh, now that I read you mentioning it, I'll be thinking about it the rest of the day. You have great taste in TV.

Kelly--Keep forcing the water down you. It does get easier. I've done it for so long now that I actually crave the water. Of course I don't drink anything else for fear that I'd revert back to my evil ways. I have to drink mine out of a bottle to get it all in me though. For some reason, I drink less if I drink it out of a glass.

Dawn--We have horrible fog here too. That's my big worry at this time of year flying out because they cancel flights for fog here. Not only do I have to worry about Wendy's SLC Cinnabon's but I've got Fresno fog. And sorry about your nose. I'm still really sore from my mammo last week (12 squishes is really a lot to ask of one). Hopefully your pain will be short-lived.

To everyone else, hello. Lunch hour is over so I have to get back to work.

 

[harleygirl]

Sandy- i'm so proud of you that you are able to achieve this goal! yo rock girl...make us proud...know that we will all be here cheering for you!

Punkin- i musta missed what happened with your nose! so sorry!

Utah- hang in there chickie! from one addict to another!

my whole family watched Biggest Loser last nite. i just love that show. what a triumph to see someone dig so deep within themselves to accomplish a goal....

 

[Toot Sweet]

Hey, peeps! Just home from getting my 'stache waxed! And my eyebrows too! I'd better go weigh myself and see how much weight I lost!

Bonnie I did the clothes purchase a size down thing and it was amazing how fast I got into them. Good luck on that and it'll make you feel so good to do it. My assistant at work did Atkins and lost a gazillion pounds on it so I wish you the best. I have to be low fat and lean for medical reasons so no juicy steaks for me!

Hey, Faith! It's awesome to hear that the buying-clothes-a-size-down thing actually WORKED for someone! Last time I tried to lose weight I bought two summer dresses in a size like 3 sizes down from where I am now. Well, needless to say, I have yet to wear them, and that was over two years ago!! But the tops I ordered are just one size down, so I figure that is pretty realistic.

I am still sore from my Mon workout... have thrown myself back into hardcore gym time and my body is a bit like huh? I know it will pay off though! Nothing like you are describing, though, that sounds like something my body would currently just reject outright!

Here is my food for today:
B: SF Maple&BS Oatmeal (100) + coffee
L: WW Chicken Santa Fe (140) + salad (100) + yogurt (70)
D: Tuna melts, 1 can tuna + 100 calorie english muffins (320), Chef Boyardee mac&cheese, canned (190), 100 cal zinger (100)
Snack: SF pudding (60), 1 cup cereal + splash milk (150)
Total: 1230 Exercise: 45 min on arc trainer

Hope the weight loss fairy visits each one of us in our sleep!

WOW, you are doing so great, Hockeycat! Dieting AND exercising! Way to go!

For anyone who is curious (like I was) about how fat leaves the body:



"It left mainly as carbon dioxide (you exhaled it) and water (you peed
it). Fat is made of mostly carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Your body
can "burn" fat to get energy, that is, break it down into CO2 (carbon
dioxide) and H2O (water). These substances are then readily disposed
of. The same thing happens if you heat up a pan of oil on the stove
so hot that it catches fire. It burns, forming carbon dioxide and
water vapor. If you let it all burn away, there will be basically
nothing (like ashes) left in the pan, it will all be in the form of
gasses in the air. I'm sure there are all kinds of complicated ways
in which your body metabolizes fat, so this answer is a bit
oversimpified, but I think on the most basic level it's right."





So apparently when we have ketosis breath, we are breathing out our fat. Suddenly I am loving my foul, disgusting, offensive, odorific breath. Bring on the halitosis!

 

[punkin413]

I have a 32 oz water bottle that I fill up and force myself to choke down one in the AM and one in the afternoon.

i totally read that as, "force myself to choke down at one AM and one in the afternoon." so i'm picturing kat setting the alarm for 1:00 a.m., getting up in her PJs, going to the kitchen, filling up her 32 oz. bottle and chugging it down in the dark, then getting up like every 10 minutes for the rest of the night to pee!

I booked my day to go wedding dress shopping at Kleinfelds on February 1st. So Im trying to put in some extra exercise until then. Today I did Cardio Party 3 from Turbo Jam and the 20 minute Hip Hop Abs workout ..I was sweating but I was having fun! The whole time I kept thinking about being able to wear tank tops to the parks when I go in May.

funny.......i had my first dressing fitting on february 1, 2002.....i remember that date. it was the first time something didn't fit me!!!! my wedding was in april and i had found the dress in august. i was 25 years old and had never had a problem keeping the weight off before. well, in august i'm smaller than i am in february because i just carry more weight in the winter (or at least i used to) and so in august i had bought a size 6 dress. well, in february, it wouldn't zip up! i was HORRIFIED!!!!!!!! i went on a hardcore very low fat diet and lost too much weight.....the entire time i was tugging at my strapless dress because it kept falling down! that was 6 years ago and i've slowly been gaining weight since. but now i'm losing it so i guess that's all that matters! good luck on dress shopping!

Dawn--And sorry about your nose. I'm still really sore from my mammo last week (12 squishes is really a lot to ask of one). Hopefully your pain will be short-lived.

OUCH!!!!! i'm NOT looking forward to those in a few years!

my nose is fine except for when i put on sunglasses.....it's tender!

Punkin- i musta missed what happened with your nose! so sorry!

i went back and found the post for you.....you gotta read it - you'll laugh! it happened when i was at the gym last night. here ya go.......

oh, and funny story. i was getting some extra bars from the weight room floor to bring into the group fitness room in the middle of class because we ran out. so i brought one in, gave it to anna and was leaving the room to go get myself one. keep in mind i'm in a hurry because we're in the middle of class. anna asks me how much the bar i brought her weighs and i'm looking back as i'm walking and telling her and not looking where i'm going and i ran RIGHT INTO THE WALL!!!! everyone in class just winces for me when i do it because i'm sure it looked awful! i just turned around and pointed to the wall and said, "there's a wall there, in case you guys didn't know," and just left the room to go get my bar. my eyes watered so bad for the next few minutes. i hope my nose isn't black and blue tomorrow!

Hey, peeps! Just home from getting my 'stache waxed! And my eyebrows too! I'd better go weigh myself and see how much weight I lost!

that's hilarious!

HAHHAHAH...i missed that the first time around..glad you aren't too banged up..but holy crap, that is pretty funny.

Hope everyone is doing well..i have been going pretty full tilt since i began my job monday at the mortgage place..i am LOVING it so far..its really fun, challenging and its only a measly 5 minute commute..can't beat it!
Still being good with my "biggest loser" challenge...i heard that 18 of us have signed up..so right now the pool is at $270!! I'll take some of that please...I will really just be so happy to lose at least 5 lbs by the end of the challenge..then i will make Aaron's challenge goal too..finally
Have a great night everyone..i think i will go and update my TR!

 

[Pakey]

I'm totally cracking up over Kat getting up at 1:00 am to drink that water. Way to go Dawn. Add that to Bonnie's story about the benefits of bad breath and I'd say you guys are really on a roll tonight.

Dawn, does your wedding dress fit you now? When I got married back in the days before automobiles were invented, I was so skinny that I actually had to wear children's size clothing. I am 5'8" and back then I weighed about 70 lbs I think. I know when I was 5 months pregnant (several years later), I was still under 80 lbs. Gosh, fast forward to this century, and I'm pretty sure that one of my calves is now larger than my hips were back then. I no longer have that wedding dress (divorce leaves you less sentimental about those things) but I'd sure like to hold it up to me now and see how much I've "grown". I would probably need therapy.

Well I'm off to read some more controversial threads on the CB. Nothing on TV these days so might as well enjoy the juicy stuff on here.
