Yoda 0 Posted November 15, 2006 LOL That is great Mandi....ONEderland is right there....within grasp!!! Yes, you will most definitely need to make a new Xmas goal!!! ummmm....re. your Gramma and callin' her a liar...ummm.....depends....how big is she??!!! :peep: Maybe when people say "I'm gonna be on Deal or no Deal" it is merely wishful thinking and then people overhear them say it and take it literally and then the dreaded rumour starts! Too funny really, because there are only going to be five shows in Canada....which equates to maybe about 10 people total who will get to be on it; a decision they can't make until AFTER the auditions!!!! Coooool opportunity for the lucky folks who make it though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
argon 3 Posted November 16, 2006 wow Mandulicious! when you get to onederland send me a postcard!!! I not only will send you ALLL postcards, but invitations to join me!! Except Yoda. (that's for my grandma!) Just kidding... you can have one too, I GUESS. It will be fabulous, when it happens. I don't know what I could make my new Xmas goal. My next milestone after getting out of the 200's was to make it to 184 (which would be 100lbs lost) But that's 17lbs from now, and 5 weeks + 2 days (til I go home). That's WAAAAAY too much for me to get my hopes up for. I dunno... what's a significant # inbetween 199 and 184? How about I aim for 194 and pray for more, by Xmas? If things go well, and I really think I can do it, I'll work my ass off to make that 184, but... for now, my new Xmas goal is 194. But for now, I'm just crossing my fingers to see a 1 as the first number on the scale! I was all ready, with a camera out this morning. (side note, I forgot to tell ya... I tried on some jeans at Old Navy this weekend, and a sweater and shirt {you'll see pictures when I get to the 100's!}... I tried on the jeans just for the hell of it. Size 16's... and not in a plus size store, even thought I'm sure they consider them that. I went to pull them up, and was SURE they wouldn't... but they DID! They're quit 'fitted', and I'm a little scared to wear them to work... but they fit, and they're not tight. I went and paid for them, and they came up as $9.99... I thought "What the hell?!" but kept my mouth shut! I came back the next day, searched for other jeans, but I couldn't find ANY in any sizes bigger than 10, so I bought a size 18 of the EXACT same size 16 jeans I got. They're a little less scary for me to wear... and at least I'll have the 16's when I'm ready for 'em! And all for $9.99 each! Just thought last night, that I should have bought one of the same jeans, in every size on the way down... and 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, and dare I dream, even lower!?)

Irishmist 0 Posted November 16, 2006 I have been watching the Biggest Loser, i think it is because they work out so hard. I love watching that show. Maria Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheezy 0 Posted November 16, 2006 I have been watching the Biggest Loser, i think it is because they work out so hard. I love watching that show. Maria I'm sorry but I've only been able to watch a few episodes. Who could live their lives like that. They will only go home and face the old demons. Sorry but that's what I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheezy 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Oh Mandi but you can and you gave without taking... But you shed them away... Oh Mandi. The pounds that is...... WTG GIRL WTG!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irishmist 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Actually Wheezy they have done updates on previous show losers and they have kept the weight off. Maria Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CLOE 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Well Mandi, my christmas goal was `17 lbs. I'd probably be half way there if I hadnt put myself into the Mcflurry Coma before my fill. . How's the no-smoking going, over a week now!!!!!!!!!!!! I get kinda sick watching those people work out soooo hard. I think it's crazy. Maybe in my 20's, I'd take on that challenge. But I'm to mellow now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
green 6 Posted November 16, 2006 I think that I tore my rotator cuff (my shoulder) when I was at the gym. Now I am in a lot of pain and it is taking forever and a lot of sessions of physio to heal but I really miss going to the gym. *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CLOE 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Ohhhh Nooooo!!!! Rotator cuff, soooooooooooooo painful!!! Take care right away, don't leave it. Take it easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irishmist 0 Posted November 16, 2006 I know i could not work out like those guys, but then again i hate exercise of any kind, always have. Sorry about your shoulder Green, hopefully you will be better soon.:hug: Maria Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
argon 3 Posted November 16, 2006 Yes... I think the amount of working out they do is INSANE.. I go to the gym, and I originally would have said i HATE it, but now I only 90% HATE it. I have seen those updates too... and how much they continue to lose AFTER they go home. That Marty guy last night looked GREAT, even before he went home! I told Dan, "That guy weighs 5 pounds less that you (273), and if he looks that good, THAT big, imagine what you could look like as long as you keep working out." I think he was a little inspired by watching that... so that's good. I find myself seeing these gals do their weigh-ins, and realize I weigh LESS than them for once (well, some of 'em). Before, when I watched, there were NEVER girls over 250lbs. (at least not that I saw). I can't be as avid of a watcher, because I believe it clashes with LOST. But now that LOST is off until Feb. I can watch the rest of the Biggest Loser. Cloe, step away from the Mcflurry's! You're halfway there!? That's awesome... still about 6 weeks... you'll make it! The not smoking.... ehh.... it's ok. I'm surviving. I still think I shouldn't be left alone, because when I am, I think "I should run to the store, buy some smokes, and no one would know!!!". Last night going to the gym was the first time I HAVE been alone, and I definitely toyed with the idea. But I won't. I really want this to be it. I don't want to be a smoker anymore. I don't want to worry about stinking when I come inside. (probably tacked on an extra 100 cals a day with all the mints I sucked!) I also don't want to spend the money anymore. Now only if I could bring myself to put that money aside. It's funny... you can always find the money to buy another pack, but when it comes to putting it 'away', it's soooo hard!!

CLOE 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Cloe, step away from the Mcflurry's! You're halfway there!? That's awesome... still about 6 weeks... you'll make it! quote] No, I WOULD HAVE been half way there!!!! I havent had a McFlurry since my fill. Actually my scale this morning say's 277, so finally I got the 'McFlurry Fat' off that only took about 3 days to put on.:phanvan So hopefully the pounds will start to drop again, I've been good and tight lately.
