I agree, make them pamper you!

Good luck, I hope it all goes well.

When I had my wisdom teeth surgicaly removed, I soaked up every ounce of it. Nothing like being fed ice cream and mashed potatoes for a week.

TCMom - That's great! Keep up the good work!

VACAMPER - Will you share your intervention with me? I really have no motivation lately. Enjoy your vacation!

Lucy - My next trip is not until Sept 2009 when we go to Disney. It'll be here before I know it, but right now it seems sooooo far away that I just can't get into the mindset of losing weight for the trip yet. 2 hours of cardio a day? Wow. I'm impressed!! You're doing great! Can you send me some of that energy?

Carol - I'm sorry to hear that you're needing surgery. I hope you heal/feel better quickly! Just get better - don't worry about scales and weighing! I'LL still be here, trying to lose weight, when you're feeling better!

I know this doesn't apply to all, but my gym has t.v.'s at every treadmill, so my secret is I go when there are shows on t.v. I like so I stay and watch the entire show.

I like:
Ellen
Oprah
Dr. PHil
HGTV shows

stuff like that so i check my t.v. guide before I go

 

[VACAMPER]

I love the food network.

I love the food network.

Therein lies your problem...... you can't workout to watching the food network, lol......

 

[lucy_love]

I love the food network.

that always makes me hungry and reminds me of the foods I can't eat

but I do enjoy "take home chef" for other reasons

 

[VACAMPER]

I know this is a problem. I love to cook and try new recipes. My favorite recipes are Paula deans so lots of butter. Maybe i should start watching the fitness channel. Then i could try new workouts instead. Maybe some of that yoga bootie shakin stuff Ami does.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Paula Dean has got to be the sexiest Big Momma on TV...that woman knows the fastest way to a man's heartattack!!!

 

[Just Beachy]

I haven't had a Paula Deen dish in quite a while. THAT woman knows how to make a tasty meal. Ever have her grilled corn on the cob? It's the way my DH requests it now! Slather corn with mayo. Roll in parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with chili power and a little salt. Wrap in foil and grill for about 15 mins. OMG is it good. How come I'm the one with the weight problem and not him?????

 

[my3princes]

Just a quick check in. We've been at the Fort for 2 weeks now and I have maintained my weight within a pound give or take Still a week left of vacation so I have no idea how I will fair overall, but I'm pretty excited for now.

 

[lucy_love]

WOW!! That's amazing to maintain while at the fort for that long

great job!!

 

[Just Beachy]

Figured I'd bump this. You know what they say, out of sight, out of mind...

I'm walking 2 miles now 3 nights/wk. I'm not losing, but I'm not gaining either. How's everyone doing?

 

[PolynesianPixie]

I seem to be holding steady. Really I just need a kick in the butt.

 

[Gatordad]

kick

 

[PolynesianPixie]

thanks. you need to kick harder. I have a big butt

Last April when this thread started, I was pretty pumped up to get off the 15 extra pounds. I figured when we got back to kazakhstan, and AWAY from the ubiquitous American fast, convenient and fattening! food, I could concentrate better on losing it. Now that I'm here, I'm finding it just as hard. UGH!! They love to cook with HUGE amounts of oil, and visiting with friends and eating is just what we do here. I forgot that I have no scale here, so weighing in is impossible. I suppose I could go to the bazaar and weigh myself like a sack of onions, but that would be rather weird. Luckily, fresh fruit is in season now, and I can eat more of that. In fact, just getting to the bazaar and back home when it's 100 degrees outside should help me sweat off some anyway. Anyone else try to lose weight without a scale?? Do you just sort of watch how your clothes fit??!!

 

[lucy_love]

To be honest, I am addicted to the scale, it's horrible! I get on it at least 3 times a day. I am trying to cut back lol. Mmm I bet food in kazakhstan is so delicious! I am going to the fort in a few weeks and really nervous about it!

I will do my update on Friday I go to the doctor tomorrow.

 

[lucy_love]

thanks. you need to kick harder. I have a big butt

KICK



j/k!
