Good Morning That does look like fun, I wish I was more coordinated on land, but I'll stick with my water aerobics for now. How are you all doing. I blew the diet yesterday but was down to 181, I'm back on track today so I'm not even going to stress myself out and weigh, I'll do it tomorrow knowing if I'm still 181 after being good, I'll be happy. I go to nutrition Monday and would love to be in the 70's when I go. but will take any loss I can get. Can't wait for my fill in December, I can eat anything I want right now and it is hard at holiday time Hope you all have a great day Vicky - how are you doing?

Hi Donna Congrats! I know I'm not 40 yet, but close enough, This is a great group! We do our best to motivate and support so stick around :confused: Suzanne - that's what I'm here for... I have Jillian Michaels screaming in my head every morning (you all know I'm mental) so I have to share some of that. :scared2::lol: Kat - It is wonderful and I may even end up landing a good job out of this with all my contacts. Plus, you know me and military guys.... Have an absolute wonderful day everyone, I'm off to the Y

Good Morning all Tracy - I know sorry, yesterday was a super crazy busy day for me, good but crazy, non stop until 8pm and I sat down, forced myself to watch Mercy and passed out the minute it was over. I've been saying this all week, people are not made from cookie cutters and we are all different, and if we were all the same, we would not be a bunch of fatties and need this, while others don't have to worry about what they eat. I know sugar is your bad so that is a great thing to cut! I was at 181 when I showered yeterday, I think it takes a little bit for my body to adjust to the 10minute morning pee. LOL I blew my strict diet yesterday which is ok, I still wasn't horrible, just didn't drink enough, and then got a new water bottle without a straw, just drink out of it... holy crap... I have not had gas pains like that in forever, so no more drinking out of that! So, I'm not going to weigh myself today and hope for the best, and go back to enough water, orange and chicken and spinach. Its all good. Suzanne, I went to Hannaford to get a few things last night... they had .40 Turkeys. I see why you were so excited. I got a 14lb turkey for 5.60. That is so amazing. I'm going back and getting another today and tomorrow to keep in my freezer, for xmas and just a nice winter meal with friends. So I am on a ways and means committe for Patriot Hills. It is an amazing thing they are doing, and I have not been happier and having someting to focus my energy on. Anyway, check it out, and sign the petition for me please patriothills.org Anyway, now I'm running late, I'll finish posting when I get back this afternoon. Going for my walk, meeting my sister for water aerobics and then going to lunch with a friend and coming home to clean. Have lots more personals...

Good Morning all I'm up, long hard night ... very little sleep Have a meeting today ... Check it out, sign the petition.. .please. Patriot Hills of New York :: Transition, Reintegration & Therapeutic Healing for Our Nation's Veterans That is what I'm doing with some of my time. OK, off to drink coffee and get ready to walk and go to the school bus. OH... down another lb... 182 this am, and that was after eating a roll last night too. I'll be back

I'm so sorry, she, as well as family are in my prayers I reall miss Tracy too... Hey girlfriend... get your sh@% together! You brought us here girlfriend, our turn to rescue you... so get your butt up and give us a Tracy post! :redface: Did I say that???? Well, On that happy note, I'm going to take a little pill to help me sleep without caring about all the things that are completely stressing me out. Have a good night... and think happy thoughts that i'm going to be at least 182 in the am xoxoxo

Yes the dairy is very hard for me, but just 3 days, so that is doable I just had a teaspoon of mashed potatoes. That is going to blow it... I'll shoot myself!

You should do it. have to make sure to get your water in too. The hard part for me is the no dairy, I put cheese or sour cream in everything. I don't gain from it, but stopped loosing. Spray in the pan, no olive oil... stuff like that. I'll let you know how I do tomorrow, at noon I weighed the same as I did at 5am, so I'll take that as a good sign

I'm doing the 3 day LA Weightloss jump start diet. all day you can have unlimited green veggies chicken and 3 oranges a day lemon and balasamic vinegar are ok, with any free spices so I've been cooking chickn, spinach with lemon and garlic. I have been cooking chicken in small pcs and put fresh lemon juice on it, helps keep it tender. and NEVER OVERCOOK. hey 6lbs in 2 days, I might do it until Saturday just to keep down, have a party to go to and it is going to be tryng... food... and booze!:redface:

Nice I'm going to get the flyer, thanks Suzanne No Safeway here. :redface: well, i'm on day 3 of this diet, I forgot to have an orange so I'll get 2 tonigt... yipee me I went into my dr today, and I'm there all the time, infact 3 weeks ago for bloodwork, well I went to pick up my papers so i can compare, (levels are all good) and the receptionist I've seen since I was 12 didn't realize it was me! She asked my last name.... I told her, she was like OH... got my stuff, came back and told me I look great lost a lot of weight... nope.. not an ounce I told her... she said whatever it is keep up the good work! Then I had the worst afternoon ever. .. ... should have known Anyway, after crying for the last 3 hours, i'm going to choke down my dinner... hope you are al having a good day/night

I would love to be able to use coupons, but most of them I come across is for stuff I don't use. Now if they had some for fresh produce, and meat, I would be in heaven. I do shop 2 stores for the small amount of prepackages stuff, and it is worth it, I usually save 75-100 a month depending on how lazy I feel like being as far as homemade everything. I save $7 alone on my son's individual size pizza he likes to have Suzanne - You are a very kind soul. That just pretty much says it all. I'm off to eat lunch talk to you all in a bit

Well, went for a short walk, had 2 glasses of water and food, weighed when getting in the shower and I was .5 less than when I got up, that is a great sign. I have a ton of stress and pressure on m plate this week, maybe that has something to do with it too.

hi guys Tracy - what did dr give you? Wally world has their brand of claridon and zyrtec way cheap and works just as well. Suzanne - we have Price Chopper too, going to check into that! Maybe I'll get 2 to have one in the freezer Walk was only 2.5 miles today, my stomach is kind of a mess today. Going to have Breakfast, shower and maybe hit the gym for some weights. Going to get some paperwork done today and get myself ready for my hike have a fantastic day

Good Morning all IM running way late, but wanted to say hey I have to leave in 10 mins and not even dressed! yikes... be back

It does help doesn't it? I don't see myself any different at times, but you do look great! Val, you are 60lbs less than you were! Just think of all the things you can do because you are lighter and healthier. shoot 60lbs is more than my 6 year old. look at a small kid and remember that was on you! I just did that, thought almost 2 of him was on me, disgusting thought! Vicki - there you go, that is a better way to think about it. You are not gaining and that is great, so you will lose more, but if you can maintain, you have learned a tremendous amount ... right? Keep up good thoughts all I'm down again today on my little diet, finaly broke past the 184.5... shooting to be 179 by the end of the week. Bad thing, I have a birthday party Saturday, going to be lots of food and booze... I am going to make food at home and run there to eat, it is only 2 blocks away so that is doable. Well, off to get ready for my walk. have a great day all

Hi all, I'm in such a funk, but going to a jewelery party tonight, don't have to buy but they are making me go be social. Can't wait. So depressing during the day. Kat - Are you happy? I know the stress of that place was nuts.... so I'm happy for you! Suzanne - up in the Adirondaks, 45-90 mins away from me are great mountains, I've seen great pics and wanted to go but never felt like I would survive it... Well, I'm going. Hadley is about 2 1/2 hour hike. I will post pics. I think I'm going alone. I just need to enjoy life and get my head clear, so I'm going to do it. Next week when mom gets back from AZ we are going to hike Buck Mt. near Hadley but trails are a little rockier, so I don't want to do that one alone. I am really excited! I use to be an outdoors hunting, camping gal, and I lost me. I want me back

Good Morning All Rain - nice before and after pics! Well, I survived my eating yesterday, was hard to choke down some of it but down 4lbs today, was back to 185. 2 days left of this jumpstart so we will see what happens, I would love to be 179 by the end of the week. So, my alarm went off - My dietician appt was this morning, I had it thurs, I missed it and now can't get in until Feb. UGH. I made an appt with nutritionist on Monday and still have my fill on 12/10. So mad at myself Have a great day, off to shower and get moving

Have fun, I'm eating breakfast and going to shower, tan, go to the gym, and work off some of my frustration! Good thoughts your way for Today at work. I am trying hard to get my butt together, have a lot on my mind and can't shake it, don't know why. talk to ya all in a bit

Hi again Suzanne - I will keep you in my prayers that it is all a big mistake So I've been waiting for 3 months for this stupid dietician appt and my alarm just went off, it was at 9, I never set my alarm for the time of theappt. What the heck was I thinking? I'm so angry. I scheduled an appt with the nutritionist for next monday. I'm not new to her so I can get right in. I have my fill appt on 12/10 so I need to have all this stuff documented so I can get my fill. I'm so mad at myself! Well, guess I'm going to have breakfast. UGH!

Hi Brenda - that is ok, you don't have to post long notes, just say Hi when you stop in so we know you are still with up :wink2: Good morning everyone. I'm up drinking coffee, drugged myself last night so i feel foggy this morning. Happy news, I lost 4lbs yesterday, back down to 185. So at this point, i'm where i was last nutition appt, so anything above and beyond is a bonus. Ok only had 500 cals yest and it is a detox type of diet, but that is ok. I've got to get signed up for my safety class today, I really need a job. I want to start sending my updated resume out and work on a job. Also going to get a map for my hike. I'll post pics because I have to take my camera, I saw all these amazing pics from my old boss and he recommended this Mt for me, so i have to send him some and start making my own memories. Happy ones! Well, 6:20 so i need to get up and make the kids Breakfast and start the day! love to you all, hope you have a good morning and I'll be back soon!

:wink2::sleep2: I'm going to drug myself, really long hard emotional day... hell... weekend. Have a ton of head stuff going on that I just can't deal with anymore. Hope you all have a good night. love ya' all:crying:

Val - I was up ... been holding at 184 and up to 189. I did my jumpstart today and I have to say, in 1 way it was easier then pre-surgery, because I wasn't hungry, but it was harder because it too, all i had to choke down some chicken and spinach, and the orange, omg, 30 mins to eat it. I'll see what the scale says in the morning if it was worth it. I did a small walk and weights at the gym. I think i'm going to rev the weights up a few days, i need muscle tone I need a fill too, and can't get in untl 12/10 Vicki - so sorry to hear about your heart burn. I so unerstand what you are saying, I was at 206-208 for almost 6 months. And the guy, why don't they get it? I think they are all afraid we are going to leave them Well, long hard day, I'm going to bed

Kat we posted at the same time... so nice to hear you had a good time. I wouldn't share with Snakes either! We had tons of them around here this summer, good thing I have that deck and could walk without shoes... LOL Enjoy your day

Tracy glad to hear you had a good time. Subway is always a good choice for me, much better than most... shoot... look at Jared...LOL I went to the gym and then a walk. my feet are bad. did over 2 miles in 30 mins...I had an orange for breakfast, hard to eat but I did it. Having a little chicken saute'd with spinach, garlic and fresh lemon. yummy. DD took a taste.. that is what we are having for dinner too, she loved it. Hope you all have a good afternoon. going to get some stuff done

Good Morning gals hope you all have a great day! I'm going to have some coffee and go for a walk. enjoy

Good Morning gals! I'm up and waiting for my coffee to brew, slept in a little. I hate this, I'm up at 6am every morning I don't have to be and I'm so tired I'm sleeping early. I like to sleep til noon. Going to drink my coffee and go for a walk, then hit the gym, still damp out, so going to do some serious house cleaning today. I'm going to do a little re-arranging I think. Starting my little detox thing today so we will see how that works out. Anyone have any good plans today? Kat, so nice to have you back, can't wait to hear about your trip Hi Suzanne, how was your night. Sounded so nice Ok, I'm off to get my coffee, I'll be back later
