I'm not going to ride my bike. My whole "area" feels rough. Those padded shorts sound better this morning.

Been there, done that

I would like an exercise that where the focus is on my buttocks. I want butt fatigue.

Popsicle stick squats, baby! They'll do your hiney good!

Erika, Lyz, Nancy - where can I buy the pads for bike riding? Links, please. After last weekend's 10-miler I was wishing for something!

Don't have a link at the moment....but I'll see what I can find!

And he is great with maps and directions. Me? I am worse than Nancy. Really.

Honey, I'm not so sure that is possible. Remember....paper bag, both ends open, bag is wet...Nancy STILL can't get out. Oh yeah...and her compass in her car is stuck on "south"...

gonna watch Amazing Race that we recorded from last night...

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

It's taken me all day to get here.

Kat - sorry you are having a bad day.

Abu - did you tell us you had a miscarrage? I'm confused.

Dan & Dawn - glad to see you up and posting. And Dan, missed your funny.

EriKa & Nancy - yaay, some other AR watchers. I LOVE that show.

Liz - still feeling low? EriKa, that was a great post about Liz. And you're right on the money.

Popsicle Stick Squats? - gonna have to google that.

Hubs is home. I am super busy. 30 minutes on DM this morning. Have a meeting tomorrow and a dr appt with sis, so I'll be in and out. Might try AIM tonight, but I need a nap first.

Love you guys.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Erika, Kat, Lyz - thank you. Xoxo.

Nancy, Amy, PR Lisa, Dawn, and Dan, glad to see you back.

Steph, glad to see things going well with moving!

Paula, fingers crossed for your weigh-in.

Lisa Toronto, get your butt back on here. Or on IM. I am so all about your thing right now.


I plan on reporting my weigh ins on Wednesdays, but I am busy with work and feeling like rock star without a guitar, so I might be scarce. This thread has been about major support for me since Jan, for which I am grateful. Right now though I need so much support I do not have the energy to give it, so I think it's best I read and not contribute. Please feel free to find me online, and I'll pop in an out.

Thank you to those of you who have been there for me.

 

[sdarwkcabemanmy]

Abu - did you tell us you had a miscarrage? I'm confused

Nope..just a period AFAIK. The only reason I thought I might be pg was because A)I was 2 weeks late (although that's pretty normal for me) and B)over the weekend I had started feeling sick to my stomach all the time except when I ate which is EXACTLY how it was for the first trimester when I was pg with DS. I woke up this morning not feeling sick to my stomach and went, "Well that's kind of weird." and a few hours later, BAM! Mother Nature hitting me right in the crotch.

 

[lisaviolet]

OK Liz - will do. . I just got home from work/class. And I heard you too Lyz.

Hi Dan! Hi Amy! Nice to see you/meet you. I'm relatively new - August. So "hi" to both of you.

Hi to everyone. All of you. I've got some days this week teaching mornings, afternoons and evenings. Supplying - I from little to this. Life. Got to love it.

But I try to pop on to read all of you.

Erika - I will weigh in late - Friday morning (my BL weigh in). Will do Wednesday on the last day of the challenge though. I just far to obsessive to have two weigh ins a week. You know how I adore the scale.

 

[3DisneyKids]

I feel so gross and sweaty. I should go take a shower. *striiip* OH MY LORD! It looks like somebody stabbed me in the...

Prior to reading this post, I thought there was no such thing as TMI on this thread. I stand corrected.

 

[lisaviolet]

Liz - I'll try IM to see how you are doing. Kat - you too. I'm so sorry.



If I miss you all - am thinking of you.

 

[sdarwkcabemanmy]

*bows*

I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress and try the veal!

I am really sorry you thought that was funny. It wasn't meant that way.

I actually just wrote several paragraphs of stuff and then deleted it. I don't want to pollute this thread. I have been here for over 400 pages and this is the first post that I have made in all that time that is not 100% supportive. So I will leave the rest of my comments unsaid.

I have met amazing people here...AMAZING. And collectively we have lost something like 380 pounds (though I have lost count recently). The support we have here works. We have done things none of us would have ever thought possible. We have run half marathons, 5ks, raised money for charities, worked out issues with relationships, gotten new jobs, and tons of other accomplishments.

And in all that time, you are the first person to post here who is not supportive. You make no effort to offer encouragement or hugs when people are down. And you make no effort to congratulate others on their successes. Sad, really. When this is a place that has been so helpful to so many.

I guess I am not sure why you are here? You seem not to be into the support aspect. You seem not to be actively working on your weight (since you haven't joined the challenge, and only post about going on eating binges). So...?

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Stephanie You only use butterfly needles??? That's cheating! (J/K, that is what the instructors told us when they were teaching us!) I don't see what the big deal is.

Yes I trained on those and that is all I am comfortable working with now! I will straight stick once and a while!

So I told my boss the head of Blood bank that you were in school for your masters and worked in a blood bank and I asked if I should start recruiting you for a job (since you miss the foliage and all) up here in NY and she said SURE SHE CAN HAVE MY JOB!!! (She's in a bad mood because A house fell on her sister!
Well, Not really her married lover/boss/director of the lab just got FIRED She hasn't been in the best of moods since then!)
So if you are looking for a job way up NORTH! I have one waiting for you!!!!

 

[grumpyyoungguy]

Well congrats to all who have lost and stayed the same. I am in the middle of catching up.

I think I must have missed some stuff

 

[3DisneyKids]

Nancy, Paula, Liz, Lyz, Steph, Dawn....thanks for the words last night.

Ok, have to get the kids up and going. Then I am going to run TO the gym, get a workout it, and then run back home. Good plan, no?

Have a great day! And Dan...nice to see you...it is your turn to bring the funny. You can't lurk for months and then resurface without the funny, mmm-kay?

 

[AKASnowWhite]

EriKa & Nancy - yaay, some other AR watchers. I LOVE that show.

Yeah - I'd LOVE to do that show...but DH & I don't have an interesting enough "back story" to make for "good tv"...


Popsicle Stick Squats? - gonna have to google that.

Get yourself 8 popsicle sticks (from a craft place. if you EAT the popsicles to get them...well...defeating the purpose, now isn't it! )

so - you squat to drop stick #1. Then, squat to PICK UP stick #1. Then squat 2 times to drop stick #1 (again) and stick #2. Then squat 2 times to pick up (ONE AT A TIME) stick #1, then #2. (catching the pattern yet? ). Then it's on to #3....drop #1, #2, #3, then pick up #1, #2, #3....

Make sure you are truly squatting to drop & pick up - not bending over...

add a little sumthin' by doing a lunge on each leg (ie left leg lunge, then right leg) in between your last "pick up" and your next round of "drops".

Trust me - your fanny will be feelin' it!

Nancy, Paula, Liz, Lyz, Steph, Dawn....thanks for the words last night.

GREAT plan! I'm gonna bike... ..and yeah, Lyz...gonna wear my diaper pants!

Have a great day! And Dan...nice to see you...it is your turn to bring the funny. You can't lurk for months and then resurface without the funny, mmm-kay?

okey dokey....gotta hit that bike so I can get to work on time... ttyl!

 

[3DisneyKids]

And Sarah! Missed you yesterday. Hope all is well. Are you still in job hell? I am thinking so.

Ok, so tomorrow is weigh-in day for the challenge. How is everyone doing? Me....well, exercise is going great, natch , but food...eh. I am not eating crap at all. Just too much. Like instead of 7 almonds for a protein snack, I had something like 20+. That type of thing. Last night I went out for GNO though and had a large salad, ff balsamic vinagrette. So that was great since we were at an Italian place. Of course, I drank some calories with dinner as well...

I will post the challenge in a sec so that it is accessible and up to date for tomorrow.

I found it funny because I have an oddball sense of humor.

I'm sorry I'm not as supportive as all of you. I'm not exactly the huggy lovey type, like a lot of you guys seem to be and I thought it was ok.

I haven't joined the challenge because I just didn't want to. I didn't think it was a requirement.

I'm sorry if you're upset I'm even here, so I guess I'll leave. It was fun while it lasted.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Hey gang...

Great chatting with some of you last night and sorry if I missed some of you along the way...

So - weigh in results from my onion ring laced weekend.... I lost one pound... yeah!!!! I especially loved the comment from my JC consultant that she can see a huge improvement in my attitude from recent months so to quote Dan's line - I am gaining momentum....

I was a little bummed last night since my swimming class got cancelled.... The instructor was sick, so no swimming for me.... I was all set to come home and walk and then my cell phone rang and there were problems with one of my jobs that has a night crew working, so I ended up coming into work for a few hours. When I got home, I ended up on AIM with some of the body board babes and then went to sleep.... So.... I will walk tonight since I don't want to stop my workout schedule entirely...

Have a great day everyone and can't wait to see everyone's challenge progress reports tomorrow....

Paula

PS - they are monitoring internet usage at work, so I may be a little quieter than normal as I try to wean myself off of my addiction to this board... please don't take it personally... Just means I'll have more to say at night....

Erika, you are insane, in a good kind of way. Running TO and FROM the gym?

okey dokey....gotta hit that bike so I can get to work on time... ttyl!

You go! How many miles? 20?

Ok, now we are all set! WOO HOO! Let's get ON IT!

Good vibes to all on the weigh in! I passed - I've got an international trip penciled in in 2 weeks, and I suck at weight loss when I just go to Tucson, let alone over an ocean...

Paula - you must be doing something right! Onion rings and still a weight loss!

Only 5 more weeks until daylight savings time ends! I'm sick of sun-up at 7am and pitch black outside at 7:30pm. I am so back on the wagon and so hating the dark. If I want to do something aerobic inside I bounce on the mini-tramp. No dreadmill, no stepper, no nothing.

So Deb where ya going?? Is it some place good CAn I jump in your suitcase? Is it a warm tropical place??? I need some warmth. These 58 degree days are YUCKEY!

Paula What's up with companies taking our DIS'ing privileges away from us? The hospital has well let me rephrase that THE LAB has disconnected ALL the internet from our computers the main hospital still has theirs and I think Its not FAIR (do they have a tantrum smilie) I see Nurses and even Doctors surfing the WEB. LAst week there was a Doctor researching a Ferrari to buy! UMM YEAH THAT IS FAIR! I can't DIS but he can buy a Ferrari online?? And this is what gets me the most is that we have well had limited access to the internet and the CEO and VP's all have unlimited access and The CEO got in hot water because he sent an email and someone in the hospital thought it wasn't appropriate The news crews and everything were at the hospital, because of it. He even sent out an email to EVERYONE apologizing to everyone!

So I need to get my BUTT in gear and get stuff moving! Closing is TOMORROW CABLE IS COMING ON THURSDAY TO INSTALL I am having them put cable in EVERY ROOM.. just incase I ever need it it's there, and then they only charge me ONE PRICE not 40 to come back every time I think I need it some where else! Stephen even wants it in the workshop down back (his MAN CAVE). And I still have to switch over the phone and OMG I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO!!!! OK NEED TO GO DO THINGS. I will be on and off all day!

 

[DisneyBryan]

Hey Ladies! Here is a blast from the past. Looks like I have missed a lot, though I have lurked on and off for a while. You all seem to be doing so well. I need to do SOMETHING, so I thought I might hop back in here. That is if you'll have me?
