age 45-50 group. Anyone interested?

I have looked for twins and poked around other groups without finding a real support group.

I am 48, 5'5", SW 151, CW 134, GW 128

I am the school teaching mother of three in their upper teens, wife of my 3 lbs from goal hubby.

SO...

Anyone interested?

Well well well.....Did any of you notice the TIME....my furry kids decided they wanted to eat and play and well if I decide I don't agree IT SEEMS TO MATTER NOT!!! So here I am responding to my cc buddies latest posts and what do I find??????

YOU ALL MUST BE SOOOOOO MUCH YOUNGER THAN ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pardon me but just where do you guys find all this energy and time and willpower and and and ......seriously I am very proud of you all but I feel oh I dunno about 90 right about now!!!!!

Where is ZIPPY? and my keeper TRU??????

One of you just HAS to (if nothing else) LIE and say you just get tired reading about all these workouts and walks and trips.......

I mean I really should lose weight just reading what you guys are doing cause I know I can read about oh I don't know lets just say CHEESECAKE and I gain..so it just should only be the fair thing in life for me to lose because of TAMMY AND HER WALKS!!!!!

ok I'm going back to bed and leave you all alone with the thoughts of almost 4 a.m. ramblings of the crazy cat woman.... can I at least get credit for entertainment value??????

< gotta have the "shades" this time cause I just know make-up will not be an option when I get up in a couple of hours....ok?

Connie you are too funny  The part about losing by reading about activity should only be fair for you to lose.  Well I hate to break it to you that is the not fair part in life. 

I went to the new gym and the aerobics I did yesterday got my legs feeling sore.  I can walk but if I have to squat forget it!  It is hard to sit I get there but it hurts.  Well no pain no gain.  i will say the more I work out the more energy I seem to have.

Down to 182 today

Well got to go have to go get the old allergy shot.

Jas,

I seem to remember when you first joined this group that our stats were somewhat similar.  Sadly for me, it now appears that for every pound you have lost, I have gained a pound!!! I am back over the 190 mark....and you are creeping down closer to my goal weight of 179!!!!!  Still....I am not kidding myself here...no-one but myself to blame!!

Ha ha Connie....you are definitely the comic relief of this group! 

Catch you all later....gotta go clean up the huge dusty mess the AC company is leaving behind....arghh......

Suze I too before being in this group had that happen lost some then almost gained it all back.  It made me mad but also more determined not to mess up again!  You can do it!!  Out comes my inner cheerleader again.

Hi everyone!  Connie, you are sooo funny!  I love reading your posts! 

I wanted to walk today, but......I went to WalMart and then it stormed. :(  Maybe tomorrow.

Well, ladies, had my first treatment effects this evening!  Yikes!!!  Lets just say I'm spending alot of time in the bathroom.  I ate Microwave popcorn, well, too much of it.  And now I have to "pay for it".  Not a good experience. Now I know not to eat the whole darn bag! LOL

Anyways, other than that, I'm doing good.  I went to WalMart and spent way too much money!  I just couldn't help myself!  I bought so much stuff!  Not just food.  I wondered all over that store and bought random things.  Then when I got home my husband had to unload the car for me and he wasn't happy when he saw the slip.  Oh well, I don't do it often so why should he complain? Right?

Jas, we are at the same weight now.  I was 170 and then gained up to 188.  Ive lost 6lbs on Alli.  Love the stuff!  Now I just have to keep up with you! LOL

While I was shopping my hubby calls me and tells me to pick up 2 dozen of Krispy Kreme doughnuts!  He really knows how to put temptation in front of my nose.  I guess I'm the one changing my habits, so they shouldn't suffer.

Well, I'll stop rambling! LOL  Talk to you all later!  ;)

Krispy kream I love those things!!  Been craving em for 2 days. *must fight off craving*  Well I am going to Macy's & Dillards to try to find some bathing suits.  I am down to 2 and since I swim at least twice a week minimum year round I guess I better find more.  Get those one piece suits with the stuff to help hold the old tummy in. 

Jazz....Rah rah hold it in, bathing suits that make u thin

rah rah swim  oh swim, done enough will make u slim

Tammy um ALLI Alli do u poop until u cry??? (sorry couldn't think of nuttin else)

Krispy Kreme Krispy Kreme doughnuts now are justa dream........

God i really need more of a life don't I?????

 C

Ok Connie you win the head cheerleader award!!

Nothin new here.  Found 8 swim suits!!  That should hold me till next year!

Connie---Cute rhyme! LOL  And, no I don't! LOL

Jas---8 bathing suits?  WOW!  I'd do good with one! LOL  I really need to get one so I'll go swimming this yr.  I said last yr that I would do it so I need to just do it.

I'm still losing weight!!!!  I've lost 8 lbs since the 3rd of the month. YAY!!!

Hello everyone.  I have big news.

I haven't been doing my workouts much recently, because I had some serious studying to do.  That is now over.

I passed my final.  I am approved for ordination in my church.  Date for my ceremony:  August 23.

I'm gonna be a minister!

*drops to floor in shock*

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!  I know you are soooo excited!  ;)

Hi everyone

It's times like these when I need a support group! 

Yesterday I had my annual health check as it's coming up to contract renewal time here.  I was so disappointed to find that they recorded my weight EXACTLY THE SAME as when I first arrived in Korea a year ago!  According to my scales I've lost 6lbs since I started CC and I'm sure I'd lost a couple more before I bought my scales too.  My clothes fit better, I feel slimmer, but apparently I'm just the same weight.  Not only that, but I'm 3 cms shorter! 

Undeterred I went out with my neighbour that evening to meet up with some other friends and see a band.  My neighbour, in the course of a conversation, happened to mention his girlfriend's sister who, and I quote, "would make me look slim"!.  This from a man who is around 5' 2" with a serious weight problem and, I might add, a slim and pretty Phillipino girlfriend 20 years his junior - something not uncommon here for Western men.

Determined to step up my exercising, I went out for a walk today to find that the legendary heat and humidity has finally begun and after 10 minutes outside I had to retreat to the aircon of my apartment. 

I'll carry on logging my calories and exercise, but it does feel like I will die of old age while trying to lose the next 7lbs. 

Hi Daryl! Good to hear from you. Listen if your clothes are fitting better you must have lost inches instead of pounds. You know that does happen! Don't get discouraged. I also can't exercise outdoors when the heat gets so bad. I have asthma and it has been high humidity and in the 90's here. I just try and do something in my livingroom. (everyone here knows I am not much on the exercise) now Tammy on the other hand and these other girls are very active ladies! Sometimes though you really can't pay attention to those #s on the scale if you feel a difference in what you are wearing. Keep up the good work and you will eventually see the scale move!

Axe: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! wow!

Tammy it sounds like the alli is really doing the trick for you! I am so HAPPY for you!!! Keep it up girl! I have finally went down to 139 after how long now????? Its still in the 130's dammit! LOL One morsel of anything will take me back up though cause the scales were 139.8 too close to 140! LOL

Jazz u are still head cheerleader! I was just filling in! tee hee! EIGHT bathing suits! What types did you get??? Are we sporting bikinis? THONGS? one piece or all of the above??

Suz Like I told Daryl don't gt discouraged. You will get that weight right back off! Don't do like me and keep going back up from frustration. I'm just now coming back down. Visit this site everyday and I swear for some reason it helps you to keep your mind frame diet friendly!!! 

Hope everyone has had a great weekend and HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE HUBBY'S OUT THERE!

Daryl~ I second what Connie said. What matters most are the inches anyways, I think so.  Sometimes the scale just doesn't cooperate. Ignore it!  That coming from someone who weighs herself everyday! LOL

I don't go out in high humidity just because I can't breathe in it!  No asthma or anything, just age showing its ugly face.  I can remember when the heat and humidity never bothered me.  Those were the good ole days.....

I walked today again.  My husband and gone to the store and on his way back he saw me and he said I was practically jogging! LOL  I don't think I walk THAT fast!  Makes me laugh though.  I try to keep my heart rate up around 130 and I do have to force myself to walk pretty fast.  AND with my good buddy, my cane. :) 

I'm down to my last 4 Alli capsules so I have to go buy more.  Good to see you are out of the 140 area Connie.  I can't imagine myself weighing 140!  I'm having such a hard time getting back down to 170 again.  Looks like I'm headed in the right direction though. ;)  I could kick myself in the rear for gaining back 15 pounds! UGH!!!!

Yeah Jas, Info on the bathing suits, pleeeeeze???

Congratulations Axe!!!

Daryl remember muscle weighs more than fat you could be losing fat & gaining muscle from toning up!!

GO Tammy!!  Could be pollution in that air too.

Only 1 piece bathing suits with tummy support to help hide the gut!!  Don't want to scare the people at the gym.LOL 

Gained 2 lbs  Father day ate bakers square pie & broke down and had Krispy kreams too.

Jazz .... your cheer for that last post......

NO NO  that will show.....its a dream its a dream you really had no Krispy Kreme!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Hope all is well with everyone. I just wanted to pop in and say Hi this morning!

Connie that would be the first dream to go right to my hips!  Must have been a nightmare!!

Working in the yard today pickin weeds such fun, not.

Oh man, I have to go to the dentist tomorrow!  My molar had to go and crack and break.  I'm missing part of the side of the molar.  I don't know what I'm in for tomorrow.  But I'm hungry!!!!  I've been eating nothing but pudding and jello for the last 2, yeah 2, days!  Seems like I've been having more and more problems with my teeth.  Years of drinking pop.....not good for the teeth!

Krispy kremes......almost bought some for the family today!  I didn't though.  Too tempting for someone who can't eat solid food!

Hi Tammy! Sorry about the tooth thing. I know exactly what you mean! I am having all the gum stuff worked on! Isn't getting older SOOOO much fun! LOL How's the Alli coming? SOMEHOW I am down to 137 but my BD is tomorrow and I imagine I may gain a few over the weekend. I have friends that about everyday including today wanting to take me out for my birthday and then a party tomorrow night so...Monday will probably be a downer on the scales! Its the big 5-0 so I'm gonna enjoy whatever comes my way LOL

Where is everybody else???? Feels like a ghost town around here doesn't it! Its been beautiful and so hot here this week but of course THUNDERSTORMS for tomorrow and the weekend!

Have a GREAT weekend all of you!!

Connie ~ Happy Birthday (early)!!!!  In case I don't get back on here again for a couple days.  Enjoy the big 5-0!!!  It only comes once so have fun. Yeah, we're suppose to get thunderstorms here too.  It's been almost 90* here for the last few days.  I can do without that.  Give me 75* weather and I'm happy. LOL

It must be the nice weather keeping everyone away.  I know last summer there was hardly anyone on CC.

I'm on here passing the time waiting to go to the dentist at 1.  I hope I come home able to eat solid food again.  This pudding and jello thing is horrible.  Even though I lost another pound.  It'll come back though.  I know it!  As soon as I eat normal again. LOL 

I ran out of the Alli until next month.  I'm just eating low fat and following the plan without the pill until I can get more.  I'll be ok til then.  I've lost 6 lbs since the 3rd though!  That's the most I've lost in a long while.

"See" ya'all after the dentist, depending on what she does!
