In search of my body...not the one I ate!

[HockeyKat]

That sounds yummy... DH isn't worried about calories so I dunno if that would be enough to feed his skinny a**. I would love to have to worry about eating a lot of calories... LOL!

Just make him more of them! Or modify his recipe slightly.

OK...as for weigh-in day...I DID IT! I got on the scale! Which alone is a victory for me regardless of what the numbers said. My ultimate hope was to be under 140 pounds. (Again, I am really short, so any amount of weight on me really shows. My goal is 120--which actually may sound high for someone my height, but I was 120 for years and was rail thin. According to WW, I should be 108.5 But I had a terrible injury and illness many years ago and dropped to 114 and looked AWFUL...totally anorexic looking and unhealthy. So 108 is definitely not a reality for me and never will be. At 120 I look and feel FAB, so that is my ultimate goal.)

Not sure why the 140 number is so important to me...I just had it in my head that I wanted to be under that. Maybe because then I would have less than 20 pounds to lose and that sounds so manageable???

So, I got on the scale...didn't even squeeze my eyes shut... and the scale said 143. Ok, so it is above 140, but I am ok with that. I should be under that 140 mark pretty quickly...it is in my sights. I'm good.

But then I got to thinkin'....um...how do I know the scale is correct? I mean, I haven't used this thing in almost TEN years! It isn't even a digital one. I am also on the last day of AF's visit, so does that have an impact??? See...all these things I don't know since I haven't weighed myself in so long!

For now, I will accept that it is accurate. My mom has a scale that she says is accurate...but of course, I want to weigh myself first thing in the morning, and I sure as heck am not going to zip over to her house at 6 in the morning all neked..... Maybe I can bring her scale to my house for a few days or something like that...or heck, just go buy a new one.

Ok, so the wait is over. Thanks so much everyone for supporting me through this! It really helped knowing that I was going to come here and everyone would be supportive no matter what the number was! Thank you for that.

3DK - I am so proud of you for getting on the scale and not running like hell away from it... You did it.... you conquered your fear of the scale and are already on to bigger and better things.... YEAH!!!!! :cool1 :

A word of caution before you go crazy and start obsessing over the scale. Every one of them reads a little differently. I know the one in my house and the one at my Jenny Craig center are about 2 pounds off from each other. My advice, go with consistency and pick one to weigh yourself with once a week and use that for your official posting.

In the meantime, 23 pounds to go until you hit your goal... that is so doable by summer... look out Maine 3DK is going to look even more awesome on the beach this year....

Congrats...
Goof

Happy Valentines Day you sexy women and slightly psychotic post grabbing man...who also may be sexy but will he post a pic...hmmmm...not so much....!!!

So I just read War and Peace which is also known as 24 hours being off the Disboards Body Boards site!!! I can't believe how much stuff is going on....

I am so proud of the losers and for 3DisKids for getting out of the Chicken Poop pile and into the mud with the rest of us!!! I know you took a big step today and will probably turn into Weigh Happy Wanda...traveling the country in search of the scale that gives you a better number...I do!!! Just make sure you get clothes on cause the whole thought of you driving neked to Mama's to get on a scale screams therapy!!!

Bird...I am glad you are at least making progress towards some answers for your Grandfather...

Chbc....Doing the right thing doesn't always mean it's easy and I am proud of your convictions...

My jealousy issue...straight hair too..(curly as a poodles behind...)love me some shoes and purses...which means that I want to be the sexy woman in NYC walking around in a pair of high heels and not even blink...which might be easier at 145 and not 255...and most of all right now...wishing all the cmponents of my life could just be in sync and going smoother...I would love to pay the bills and not worry...on our way to that but it will take time...so I am jealous of those who do not worry about what is in the mail and what can't all get paid...

I am thinking after much discussion with Jodi that I may also have a wheat issue...goi9ng to do some research but I have noticed that eating bread causes me to bloat immediatley and that may also be causing some of the kidney pain due to pressure...TBC...

My oldest son and my daughter gave me cards this morning...love that...it is the best feeling to know that they look to you as a friend and a parent...having teens willing to talk is a sign of succes to me...they know my foot is up their hind end because I care about their charachter...and they respect my thoughts enough to bounce hard issues they are dealing with off of me...they sometimes don't like the answers...but they will always hear me out and I am gratefull for that growth and that love...

I also want to say...I really love you guys a lot...sappy but true..a vagabond group from all corners off this country have formed a link and a support system that encompasses real life and not just the fluff...I have enough fluff friends...I needed real people who I have found with you all...
Thanks is such a short word but the meaning behind it to each of you is longer than a dictionary. So to you each...I hope that love abounds in your heart for your selves today...cherish your life and all who have been blessed by your existance because you do matter...you do count...and you are valuable to me.

Hey Babes...(yes, Dan, men can be babes, too! )

Here's a question to stimulate some positive thinking...

What will your reward be when you reach GOAL? (I am already assuming that we will all go out and get kick-a** new wardrobes, so that is a given! )

But what will it be for you...

--A trip to WDW (or a different vacation)?
--A total make-over (hair, make-up, etc.) at some ritzy spa you have never before splurged at?
--Some type of plastic surgery to deal with some saggy baggies?
--More purses... (I slay me... )

For me, I am thinking I might get the laser hair removal for my legs and bikini line...imagine NEVER having to shave again! And since I will be so proud of my new bod, I am quite sure that I will be strutting around in next-to-nothing... , so I can't have a forest on my legs! Now, I have no idea how expensive this is, (or how painful), but it is just a thought right now. Of course, I may get a lil' lipo here and there if I have some "deposits" that don't go away with diet and exercise.

I always find it funny that they call them "fat deposits..." Um...NO! A deposit is a GOOD thing...when I put money in the BANK is a DEPOSIT!

So...what'll it be????

Wow.... I hadn't thought about what my ultimate reward will be yet.... I have been focusing on the mini goals and rewards that I hadn't got that far.... This gal has to do some thinkin on this one....

soooo...I know that I will weigh in tomm....but last week on Friday I was at 257.3.....and today...at 253.8!!! Is that a loss of 3.5#??? Can that be right??? Where in the Heck is my calculater????

If my scattered math is close...lots of encouragement to stay good today!!!!

 

[Dizneydawn]

I will get hair extensions...maybe..$700 for naturally curly hair.....and I will get a tuck in suck for the old tummy...and a hike and spike for the sistas!!!

I will also plan a dream vacation by opening up a map and pointing....always wanted to do that...drive to dream spot and make dream spots along the way!! Soooooo many cool places I have never seen...like my feet recently standing up and looking down!!! Or my Va JJ...I assume she hasn't left me too!

[Dizneydawn]

I couldn't have said it better myself... Even in the short time I have been talking you I have found comfort in knowing that I'm not the only one in my situation and there are people who understand. Every day I look forward to coming here and reading the wit, wisdom and sass of this group. You ladies and gent are amazing!

 

[Dizneydawn]

Soo this maybe crazy...but updating that darn ticker and seeing it every time I read...is way more motivating than the little banner's...I have less than 100 pounds to lose!!! Now I don't care that I could be closer if I would have done better since we started...I just know that I don't ever want to see over 100 pounds to lose to get to 155 ever again...and 155 is not my ideal either but a whole lot better than 257.3!!!

By the way....how tall is everyone??? I don't think I have ever asked...but can we post heights because that helps me visualize people soo much better??? For example

I am 5'4 plus a smidge so 155 is still heavier than goal but for someone 5'9...beautiful baby!!

So how tall are we Body Boarders??

Okay, gang, off to Vegas now...wish me luck, and stay healthy for me while I am gone!

And Happy Valentine's Day - here's to a year of loving ourselves and putting ourselves first!

 

[chbc]

I'm 5'4" sort of. Anywhere from 5'3" to 5' 3 3/4" or sometimes they say 5'4". I'm going to say 5'4" can I say 5'4". I'm gonna say 5'4". I like to move it, move it. Yes, I played that song over and over while the kiddos and I moved it in the gym. I sure miss them today. Can I say I like to move it move it move it, We like to move it move it, us like to move it move it.

Feeling nice and sweet and sassy- I have on red lacy undies

So...what'll it be????

The software I work on deals with check processing/remote deposit so deposits are not always good things to me... esp when my system drops one...

Forgot to say CONGRATS ON 20 lbs lost!!!

I haven't though of what my reward for goal would be...

As I said in a previous post, I am 5'8". Here is a picture from 2002, when I was 150 or so:

 

[3DisneyKids]

I am 5' 2" on a good day...other days I am 5' 1.5"...short girl. Now, being a short girl is a lot of fun when you are thin...you are considered cute, petite, etc. When you are a short girl and a chub....not so much...

Pictures coming soon...

 

[Dizneydawn]

Okay love birds...where are you all at???

Hand Check!!!

Bible width apart!

Unless your neked...

Than make it a Harry Potter novel!!!

We do not want Baby Boarders....hmmmm...or do we....????

So how is Valentine's Day going? I helped in my kiddos school in two classrooms and was in and out of the gym. I only had 1 m&m. How funny is that. I'm having a cupcake and some bites of one of my husbands brownie sundae's. Heading in to make dinner.
