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

[3DisneyKids]

I am off to a Tupp mtg until 10 tonight...and all day tomm until 5 pm so miss me lots...pray I make good choices as they fill us with food and that I make the connection I have been missing lately to my profession I love so much....

We will totally miss you! A big hug to you while you work on getting that business of yours booming! I am sure that this will be SO good for you and get you psyched to go full tilt again.

We will definitely miss you!!

I am feeling TONS better today so I am indeed off to the gym.

Hope everyone has a great day!

So glad that you are back to yourself!

Good Morning!! Its awful quiet in here today... I've got to make this fast since I have a ton to do at work... I got to my 30 lbs officially lost mark!!! down to 224.8 this morning!!! I'm soooo stoked!!! I hope everyones day is great and enjoy my trip report which is a few posts above this one!

Sarah

CONGRATS! Awesome milestone. Before you know it, we will be welcoming you to ONEderland!

Whoo-hoo!!! Go Sarah!

I weighed in today at WW - down 2.6, making it 42.8 total lost! Whee!

Does walking my friend's dog count as exercise? That might be all I get in today!

Another victory! What a great day!

I saw the subject of this thread about two days ago and started reading, well I made it to about page 30 when I realized that there were 90+ pages on here!

All of you are so inspirational and FUNNY!

I also am a bit of a hippo and want to join the zoo here. I started WW last night after trying JC and not getting anywhere. I got really tired of the food and started to skip meals. I wouldn't cheat and eat bad, just not eat and well that got me nowhere as well.

So, here I am. Starting fresh and new. I feel like a first grader asking if I can join a club but can I can I?

Welcome, welcome! Yup, we're all slightly nuts (ok, some more than others... ) but we always have room for more!

When you have a sec., please introduce yourself. Anything you want to share is fine. Somewhere on here we have a cast of characters...I will hunt back and see if I can find it so you can learn more about all of us!

As for me...Surprise, surprise, we are having yet another storm today in Maine. This one is all ice for a change...no snow....just ice. FUN. Today is supposed to be my rest day from running, but I think I will pop in some sort of exercise DVD so that I at least do something today.

Even though I am not seeing the numbers decrease on the scale, things are happening. I bought a pair of pants literally a week ago today and they fit just right. I put them on today and they were a bit on the loose side! Not really loose, mind you, they are still the right size. But there is definitely more room in there than there was a week ago! So I'll take it!

Ok...I just came in and am chilled to the bone, so I am going to treat myself to hot bubble bath! I have some time before the kids get home from school, so instead of working, I am going to pamper!

By the way, SeptemberGirl (Liz) and I both do WW also. She is a goddess and a guru of points (having lost over 40 pounds on the program! ) while I am only in my second week. I switched to WW from South Beach (never again), so I am still getting used to eating NORMALLY.

There is another great thread here on the WISH boards called "WW Weekly Weigh-IN." It is a great source of advice and support, especially for new folks like us!

Oooh....I see that you are in W. Washington area...Heather is out there as well (chbc)...

Hi ....

Quick post as I am in the middle of a bunch of roof leaks at work... Did I mention that working on a roofing project during the rainy season is just not fun.... anywho...

Sarah - congrats on hitting that 30 pound mark.... it is an awesome feeling...

Dawn - have a good time at the Tupp meeting... your business will soon be booming...

Sept Girl - 42.8 pounds... what an inspiration... you show us all that it can be done...

Grumps - travel safe... I don't want to hear that your mustang had another rondevous with a ditch... C'mon... if they want to spend that much time together, they should get a room...

Kat - glad to hear that you are feeling better....

3DK - way to go on the pampering yourself... take care in the ice storm... we have had a little bit of it here, but nothing like what you all are getting up north... be safe...

Pixieshouse - Welcome to the zoo, I mean party.... we are all crazy and nuts, but we are there for each other... I'm sure you will fit right in....

And lastly, for you Peeps people....

Go eat something!!!!!​

Goof...

I have to force myself to eat a bit when I am sick, everything tastes like paste.

What, you don't like the taste of PASTE?

If you must call yourself a hippo at least picture yourself as one of the ones in Fantasia... LOL!!! They had cute little tutus and shoes! LOL!! It gets me through the night... lol... Welcome!!!

Thanks!! I know what you mean about pants.... Since I am still between sizes I refuse to buy new pants... I was playing on the trail course at Cali Adventures and my pants kept sliding down... LOL! Grats on that accomplishment!!!

WELCOME!!!! Of course you can join!!

Sarah, I TOLD YOU!!! Sometimes that cheat weekend actually makes the scale move. I am sooo happy for you!! Thirty lbs is AWESOME!!

And same goes to NJLiz, congrats on that 42.8 lbs!

Erika, glad you pampered yourself with that hot bath. I love baths.

Grumps, be safe.

Yikes to the roof goof!! We have carpeting issues here. They keep replacing squares and they keep popping back up to trip people.

And Monica, you have to do better than that!!

 

[monymony3471]

Kat-I am just warming up. I wanted to tiptoe over here so I don't scare anyone. Just testing the waters.

And as Wendy said, this is just what I needed. You of all people over here know what I am capable of.

Bring it!

Oh and why are you over here? Did I miss something? Jump ship? Spy? They paying you?

 

[MunkyMe13]

The only message I get from that picture is Hey dumb butt don't eat this if you want to ever see a bathing suit again... LOL... I can't wait to have a real bathing suit as opposed to a tent made for swimming... LOL!

WELCOME!!!! Of course you can join!!

Sounds like a problem with with the adhesives and the floor substrate (concrete deck) below. If there is too much moisture coming through the concrete, it can rehydrate the glue and cause the tile to pop.... good luck with this and keep an eye out for tripping hazards... we don't want you to get hurt....

And Monica, you have to do better than that!!

I agree... Monica - you need to do better than that....

Goof

Oh I joined this thread back around the time that Dawn started it in January. I was feeling really down on my weight loss efforts and decided that more accountability could only help, so I searched the WISH forums a bit more than I generally do. And I found this group, and they are totally awesome. So are the Peeps of course!!

Oh man, Wendy (UtahMama from the other thread) just posted about her soy hot dog experience... that her dogs will eat maxi-pads and still wouldn't touch the hot dog... I am crying laughing.

And I agree w/ Heather, Sarah! You are definitely keeping ME motivated!!

Well here I go, I'm biting the bullet, but better that than the super size Snickers bar I'd rather be biting. I've been lurking on here for a while also and have gotten through about half the pages, some at the beginning and some at the end. My eyes got blurry and all the people and posts started to run together and I couldn't keep up with who's who and what was going on so I decided to just jump right in. I read someone else was hit with that lovely ice storm we just got too. As a teacher, much as I like time off of work, we've already used all our days so no more bad weather please.

I have a lot to gain so taking weight off is so important. I want to gain more confidence, more freedom, more style choices, more mobility, more energy, better health, more respect, and more pride. That's just a short list of what I'm sure could go on for pages.

Last year I lost 60 pounds, put 40 back on, but the good news is for the year I was down 20. So this year I started again, feels like such a roller coaster, I really don't like them anyways, and I want to get off at the end of the ride, goal that is. I digressed. This year I started with weight watchers in early January, and find it very manageable, but then after LA, most plans would be better. I've been off to a good start and lost 17 thus far, but sure would be nicer to share with others that are looking to gain all the right things.

I'm really looking forward to becoming a really member of this group.
