I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! Am in the same boat as Caro. Need to play catsup...will be back when that is accomplished. But, Dublin was AMAZING! ANd I managed to lose some weight while on holiday! I bought some black linen pants while there and they were a bit tight, but comfy. I wore them yesterday and they were loose! Even in the bum area! YAY! So, as I was walking everywhere for 3 weeks, I am hitting the gym again this weekend as I have recovered from horrible flight home/lost luggage/missing my hunny etc. So, I am logging my cals again. Will see you ladies around! |

GIRLS!!!! HEY! Sorry I have been mia. We can't use the computers at work anymore. So I can't be an addict as much as I would LIKE to be. Went to the doc only to have her tell me I was depressed. So blah. I have been on anti-depressants and BP meds. But, I have lost 6 pounds so far! So, I guess that's ok then. Anyway, I had to sort myself out after that. Just kinda bummed because I didn't THINK I was depressed. But, I am feeling better and getting ready to LEAVE TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUBLIN!!!! Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!! I will be back though, so I will be seeing you ladies when I return. I can't wait to see my hunny! Be good ladies! Byeeeeeeeeeeeee! |

Sorry have been MIA. A few reasons: 1. Work is dumb and crap and they won't let us use our computers anymore, except for governement crap or we get the bin. 2. I have been really down lately and just in my own little bubble. Just sorting through the crap in my head. 3. Have been going back and forth to the doc's. Something is def wrong with me as I have been exercising religiously AND eating around 1400 calories a day, but nothing is happening. Plus major fatigue, joint pain, sluggish memory, lethargy, etc. So, it looks like I have hypothyroidism. Will know concrete on Tuesday. Fingers crossed. It would be nice to put a face with this demon. But, other than that I am grand. Getting ready to go to Dublin in 2 weeks! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Glad you guys were worried about me. Thanks! Promise I will try and get on here more. Especially in the evenings. |

Now I just have to get it cleaned up and pretty. Am going to get it cleaned and detailed hopefully next weekend! So I am good. Finally! Weight still not budging and I am perservering. Going to the doc on Tuesday. Mebbe she can tell me what's wrong with me? Tonight I am giving myself a much deserved brain break and going to see the midnight show of Indiana Jones!!!!!!!! I see everyone else is doing grand! Caro I am glad you got the $ thing sorted. I know how you feel. My ex dumped me in a load of **** and I am working to get out of it, but it looks good. A friend of my mum's that is kinda like a grandmother figure said she would help me sort out the credit cards. And my dad is handling the evil credit people sueing me. I will have to pay him back instead of them. So, I am glad you got it sorted. Olivia!!! Have a super wicked awesome time in Cali!!!! Party like it's 1999!!!!! Do everything that you normally wouldn't do!!!! 28 days to DUBLIN!!!!! WOooooooo!!!! |

Hey all. Sorry I have been MIA. Still looking for a car (for those that don't know -- I was in a car accident last week and my car got seriously crunched). I have lost 2 pounds which at this point doesn't mean much as it is the SAME freaking two pounds that I have been "losing" for the last two weeks. Bleh. My goal is to lose another 2 pounds by Friday, exercise everyday, and eat well given that the dreaded monthly is upon me on Sunday. So this week will be cravings hell. |

DO NOT see Jumper. It is complete and utter crap. And the pisser is it COULD HAVE been a kickass movie. But, between Rachel Bilson's and Hayden Christian what's-his-face's whinging and carrying on it's sooooooooooooooo not worth the $10 (or free unlimited UGC card). Harrison Ford STILL looks good for 65! And I love that they have thrown Miriam back into the mix with the possibility of a lovechild (LeBouf). It'll be sweet. Caro - David Duchovny is so scrumptious! How could you not like the X-Files?! LOL Am still driving smooshed car with broken seat. |

On your FYI question, Olivia....now, COME ON! OF COURSE NOT!!!! Just because the date book says 05-25-08 does not mean we have to end this thread. Some of us still need more time to lose our ten and in that the forum MUST go on!!!!!!! 30 minutes it is then. More if we're feeling frisky. |

LOL! Yeah that is pretty sad. I want to netflix too. I just haven't done it yet. I love going to the cinema. It's my brain break. John gave me this Borat book that is absolutely grotesque. It was quite the romantic gift..... |

O-livia! I will join you on your challenge! I am wanting to feel half way decent when I get off the plane in Dublin. The powers of the Universe need to come together and grant me a 15 pound loss before I leave (it IS the least that could be done after the s*it week I have had). So, I will be on my bike everynight til the 16th June. So I am extending the challenge for my own purposes. And of course, that is also to say as long as the Universe does not take a nosedive in my backyard. Is there a time frame we are adhering to? Thirty minutes an hour, what's the story?? |

Hello lovely ladies! Am feeling a bit better today. Had an ok weekend. Took my mum out and went to church with her But it was a good day. Called the guy's insurance company today about my car. Apparently, he hadn't filed a claim yet. I am trying to get a rental car, so my back isn't breaking every time I drive the car around. Still very sore though. Managed to do some exercising last night for 30 minutes, which made me feel decent. And I am back on track with my eating today. Thanks for all the encouragement and wonderful words. I appreciate it. I have also been extra, super careful in regards to the a**wank that is still roaming the neighbourhood. I've got 5 weeks til Dublin! And I am still hellbent on losing 10 pounds. In other news, the X-Files sequel will be released July 25. The very thought makes me giddy. I LOVE me some X-Files. After the 6th season, with the disappearance of Mulder, it went beyond jumping the shark. Then the last episode you find out that Scully's baby IS Mulder's baby. Season's 6-9 made me vomit a little in my mouth. Anyway, the movie should be a nice breath of proverbial fresh air. It is at the top O the list for must see summer flicks. Along with: Indiana Jones and the KOTCS (this one also has me giggling with glee) Iron Man Prince Caspian The Dark Knight X-Files: I want To Believe What is everyone else's summer picks?

Thanks you guys. I am staying with my Brummie friend tonight. She is taking me out and I am spending the night with her so I don't have to stay home. I have a friend at work that is chauffering me around right now. So that is sorted. And my dad is helping me sort the debt thing out, so fingers crossed. I just hope it doesn't interfere with my trip. I NEED to get the hell ou tof town. Like yesterday. Thanks for the good vibes guys. I don't know what it'll take to make me feel "normal" or "good." Right now I don't fee like eating anything. I guess that's normal??? Will be around all weekend, so will probably see you guys. Big hugs to you! |

Hey everyone. I am not even looking at the scale. I want to throw it against the wall. This last week has been hell. There is a serial rapist in my neighbourhood targeting white women that live alone. So, I have been nervous every night when I come home. Then yesterday a guy smeared my car from behind all over an intersection. The impact was so hard it broke my seat. Plus financial woes running back from my abusive ex. I don't think the weight will ever come off.

Caro - if I weren't layed over at London Heathrow and on my way to Dublin I'd soooooooooooo go with you on the 20th! Luna - thanks for your worries. I hope they catch him soon too. It's weird coming home and not feeling safe anymore. In other news... So, this has been the sh*ttest week on the records for me. I received a summons from a credit card company that my ex so happily helped me run up and left me with the payments. He f*cked me over, so I had to put it in debt settlement. So, now as the debt settlement people are wankers the creditors want their $. Then there is this serial rapist roaming my neighbourhood, attacking white women living alone. I fit the description perfectly. THEN, to top the whole week off and completely throw it in the bin, I was coming home from work yesterday and stopped suddenly at a turning light (it was turning red). Dude behind me thought I was gonna make the light and smeared me all over the intersection. He hit me so hard that the impact broke my seat and sent me flying backwards. So my car is probably totaled. And I don't have the $ to afford a car payment. So, I feel like ****. I hurt everywhere and my left arm and wrist took the brunt and are splinted up. Plus, I feel like a fat cow from the Universe of the Lard and Tubby. |

Thanks Caro! (And Olivia) I am wading through my emotions at the moment. I think the nervousness of coming home and not being safe is more precedent. But, I do still fill icky when I look in the mirror. I mean if I am losing all these inches (which I have) why do my clothes not fit differently? It's stuff like that that goes through my head and frustrates me to no end. And on one hand I am going "I can do this" and on the other I am going "F*ck it." (plus a WHOLE load of other explicitives) And now my hips are bothering me rather badly. I can't even sit in my chair at the office without hurting when I get up. So doc at the end of the month. But, yes! I know what you preach oh mighty minister of ministering! Thanks again...and yes I am being safe and careful.

Well, I will make sure to do that, Olivia. I need people to talk to when I am feeling down on myself. I am just all over the place right now. And with this rapist roaming around my neighbourhood, it just doesn't help. I feel like a I am stuck in my house because what if he is waiting on me when I get back in??? I hate feeling caged and helpless like this, but I have never had a serial rapist waltzing about my neighbourhood, because the damn cops are too busy eating donuts to freaking find the guy. *sigh* Anyway, John has been busy looking for stuff to keep me safe all day on the net. He's super worried. I was going to the gym, but then it was just too much gas to spare. Then John bought me my exercise bike, so I have been using that. I go for 30 minutes on an elevated incline. I also strength train on my eball. Yoga is coming in short spats here and there (not what I'd like, but...). If my body is bored, it gets bored way too fast! I was doing fine last week and now blah!

Caro - you look super mcschnazzy in your tall legs and jeans! I wished I had legs. Unfortunately, the Universe sneezed while lumping my clay together so, I am all ass. Olivia - I would love to post over the weekend. The only thing that keeps me is that I usually forget! I will log my calories and exercise (if any - I know BAD!) and then forget to check everyone's threads. Right now, I need some serious talking to. My scale is again all over the place, I am feeling down about it and that little voice in my head that I used to hear when I didn't eat and binged and starved is talking again. I know it won't do me any good, but. Also, there is a serial rapist attacking and robbing white women that live alone in the area of my neighbourhood. SO, I am doing some serious freaking out. I have to go to the doctor at the end of the month. My hips have been giving me some serious evils. I know alot of it is due to the weight gain. So, I am going to talk with the doc to see if she can help me with a stringent weightloss plan. Something just isn't right on the inside, if you know what I mean? The fluctuations are just too weird. Anyway, I don't want to bring anyone down. Hope everyone is having a lovely day. |

Well, boys ARE DUMB! That is awesome news Olivia!! You know, I started out at 237, so if you can do it, so can I!!! That is a bit of a self-confidence booster just knowing you came through ok! Glad that you got the meds and moods sorted. Sometimes it really helps to be regulated. Brain needs a break every now and then! Have a good weekend! |

I have to say Olivia, you def have some self control. If my John had gotten drunk and said those things to me, I would have quietly excused us and ripped him a new butthole. LOL Glad everything is ok and you guys talked it out and you held him accountable! Good for the poundage lost! Hurrah!!! I have lost 2 pounds this week so I am chuffed!!! And 3.5 inches all over. And now I get all my protein in! LOL It's amazing what that does! |

So, I have to go to a work lunch thingy and it's mexican. I figured I could have a small amount of refried beans and a chicken taco salad and be ok. What do you guys think. That's SBD friendly. And of course, this is in the idea that I am NOT eating the shell! |

Well how about I stir things up as I am known for being good at that!! First off, I got my grade in Quantitative Analysis and it was a BIG, EFFIN BBBBB!!!!!! Hell yeah! Second, I have been on the South Beach diet and have been doing really well. I had some gorgeous tuna steak last night with chickpeas made Indian style (it's called channa masala). Third, I HAVE LOST ONE POUND!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Hell yes again!!! So, I think I am back on track. The SBD really has left me satisfied and I haven't really had any withdrawals although I had a tremendous sugar headache yesterday! If I could have dinner like I had last night all the time I'd be modelesque! |

LOL! South Beach is going well. Haven't felt really hungry or needing sugary/bready things. Am about to start so I will not weigh till the weekend to see my progress, BUT I am down 3 pounds which puts me back at my starting weight when I got serious on calorie count, so that's ok. Will be exercising tonight and the yoga is good! It's nice getting back into a flow. AND! AND! AND! I got my grade for Quantitative Analysis (it's a chemistry class). *drum roll* ............................................. .....I GOT A BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!! Only 4 classes to go and I have my BS in Chemistry!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! !!!!!!!!! Feeling pretty good this week! GLad everyone else is grand! Yay for not ordering takeaway Caro!!!! And good for you for walking Olivia. Sometimes the guilt is what makes us push harder!!! |

LOL I might be the New Kid on the Block but....speaking of, they are back on tour again. I might actually have to go see them as I didn't get to when I was madly in love (and gonna marry) Jonathan Knight.
It's been really frustrating. It's hard buying a good car for $1800. Blah. Weekend was ok. Totally binged though. So, I know how you feel Olivia. I managed to lose 2 pounds, but I have no idea how long that will last. My weight seems to have a mind of it's own lately. I am going to the doc next Tuesday. My hips have been bothering me really bad lately. I want to make sure I don't have dysplasia or arthritis. I am also going to talk to her about this yoyo weight thing. It's gotten to the point where I think something might be off. I mean I am eating well and exercising, and no progress. I just want to rule out weird hormone malfunction.
