140/130 club

Anyone in this grouping looking to drop from 140 to 130's.  We can all use support.  Today I am focusing on all the food groups.  Exercise would be good, but I won't be able to since I am working from 9 to 10:30.  A Super long day.  I hope I can stay focused, when I pass the fast food chaines on my travels today.

Good for you Soraya!  I'm glad you're seeing the old you peeking through!  =)  Hard work and good eating... defiinitely makes sense to me.

I hope you all are having a good weekend!  Hope you all are staying on track, too!

C'mon, ladies we can do it!!

Wow, it seems like forever since I've seen a post from Cassie or Joan...  Where you ladies at???

Hey girlies..I"m here!!!!  I have not weighed I'm sure I'm at the high end of where I want to be heck I"m probably over a pound or two so at this point I'm not weighing, I think I'll weigh Monday and get a good reality check!!!!  Some days I've done really good but I think the days I have been bad override those good days!!

 Scott's surprise party was so good, he didn't have a clue and we had a good turn out with the holidays right here.  He was kinda speechless..which does not happen often that's for sure!!!

Got all my parties out of the way, man I was so busy last week trying to get ready for his party our party at work and finishing up shopping.

No exercise to speak of except running around, I have to get back to it and I will....flabbiness is not attractive!!!

Karey- girl you are rockin' what great discipline you have with the goodies!! My daughter which is 9 has actually talked about going to animal grooming school, i need to let her know that's what you do.

Soraya- glad to see things are going well for you too....seeing a a new old you is great!!!

All of you are great.....hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Hi all, I KNOW, its been a bit since i posted.. I guess I just wanted to deny it lol.. Since my husband has been home so much in the last year I have put back on 15 (YES FIFTEEN) of the lbs I lost :( It all started out innocently enough, I was staying on track, during the week, allowing us a nice meal out on the weekend, and somehow it just got to where we were eating out more, and more junk in the house.. etc.. etc... (he LOVES snacky stuff like M&Ms and whoppers, and and and lol)... I could blame it all on him, but its my fault for not having the willpower to avoid the junk.. so, i guess I am gonna have to jump back on the wagon (once this head cold clears up).....  I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL HOLIDAY and  NEW YEAR full of joy and happiness (and weightloss/maintenance)... I will overcome this.. lol..  good luck me :P

oh and i DONT REMEMBER the last time i worked out besides walking :(

Sherry~  Glad to see you here checking in!  You may not be following everything right now, but at least it's on your mind.  ;)  Hopefully after the holiday everyone will be on track.  I've been struggling the last few days... not feeling well hasn't helped.  I haven't been feeling up to exercising the last couple days either.  :(  I think I have an ear infection right now and I'm waiting for the doctor to call me back to see if they can see me today.  Darn thing hurts!  If I can't get in, I guess I'll have to go to one of those walk-in clinics or something... bummer.  

Any plans for x-mas eve??  My hubby and I are going out for dinner at Carrabba's (Italian).

Unicat~ Welcome back!  Looking at your profile it looks live you've lost a LOT of weight in the past, so losing 15 shouldn't be a problem for you.  Hope you feel better!

Merry x-mas everyone!!!  =)

WEll, dinner was wonderful!  Wasn't very healthy, but it was soooo good!

Hope you're all having a great time!

 

Merry x-mas everyone!!!  =)

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Hope everyone is having a great day, had a great Christmas Eve with family and a great morning with the kids and then I have cooked lunch so people can drop by.....then I am going to be lazy tonight.

I HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW:(

Merry x-mas!!

I actually worked out today!!! Wow!  it felt wonderful to get back into it though!  My ear is actually feeling much better today too! 

Eating hasn't been the greatest... too many treats.  Planning on coming back strong tomorrow!!

Sherry, don't feel bad... I have to work tomorrow too - and Saturday.  ;)

Back on track... worked out yesterday too.  Super drained and tired today though.... and super hungry!  Going to eat healthy and stay within my calorie range though.  Planning on working out tomorrow and resting my sore muscles tonight.

Hope everyone is getting back on track too!

Hello Ladies!
Well, I thought I would join Brigette in saying....It's been a LONG time, but I am back at it! I used to post here even though I was in my 150's. These ladies were gracious enough to try to help me get to my goal! After a lot of struggling, I am happy to report that I was down to 147.5 the day before Christmas. I am less happy to report that I have slipped a bit and weighed in at 150 this morning. I am fairly convinced a lot of it is water, as I did not do that badly over the holidays! So I am thinking I should be back on track in another day or two!

I just finished an 8 plus mile ride on the stationary bike! Tomorrow I focus on getting back to good eating habits. The sweets are pretty much gone from the house! I have been taking a 100 percent natural carb blocker that had pretty much eliminated my drug like addiction to sugar, so it should be easy enough to get back on track!

So just wanted to check in! Looks like lot's of new ppl since I used to post, but happy to see Joan, Brigette and some other veterans!
Have a great night all!

hope everyone had happy holidays! Just checking in, but I feel like I could echo the same post as everyone else. I am trying my best to get through to New Year's day without totally blowing it and then it is on to New Years Resolution 2009. It makes me a little sad to be 2 pounds away from last years goal, but! can't complain. I am ready to get back to exercising!

Still 150 this morning! Very frustrating to have worked so hard for 147 and in 3 days gone back up to 150!
I am going to keep chugging the water and I rode over 10 miles on my stationary bike.
I went to my dads for Christmas today and he made homemade cheesecake with a brownie crust! I had a small piece I shared with my daughter, but I need to get back off the sugar completely! It always kicks my butt!

Well, I hope everyone is well! I am headed up to make a healthy lunch and snacks for tomorrow!

Hello Ladies.....just popping in to say "Hello"  I'm not allowed to stay cause as of this morning I'm back up to 154.8!  Brigitte I wish I had only put on 15 but since I moved back to NJ the end of April I've put on 31.8 lbs!  most of it since August....It's disgusting....Only got to have 1 New Year's of no losing wgt being my resolution!  Headed to the gym tonight for the first time since Mid Oct...I'm disgusting...

Hope everyone is having a great holiday....Happy New Year!

Joan!  Is that you!!??  It's been awhile since I've seen you post, woman!  I think you should stay... it'd be good for you!  And, no you are NOT disgusting... you just fell off the wagon.  C'mon and hop back on it, we're all waiting for you!  ;)   Good luck at the gym tonight!

Welcome back to everyone else that has disappeared and now reappeared too!  =)

I've been doing great w/my maintenance... weighed in this am at 134.4 (goal 135).  Not bad considering how much sodium I had yesterday.

Joan, you are NOT disgusting! Just a bit out of control! You have always been an inspiration to me and seeing you fall off the wagon just proves that you are human! And Watching you lose it all again the healthy way will inspire us all again! YOU CAN DO IT!
Well thankfully I was 149 this morning. Not quite back to my pre Christmas 147, but getting there! I am going to do 10 miles on the bike tonight and lift some small hand weights at the same time! I ate great all day until my dads leftover cheesecake called to me after dinner. I just had a small piece, but counted it for the Cheesecake Factory 480 cals. I think that might be high, but my number for the day (1800) with that on there should keep me in check! I may munch on some carrots and after my workout I should still have a 700 calorie deficit!
Hope everyone else is well! It's pretty quiet in here!!!

Had a good workout last night...and the stiffness has begun to set in...it feels good...Headed back tonight....weight down to 151...yay that's a 4.8 drop from yesterday...up all night peeing!

Carie and Karey...hehe...same name different spelling?  thanks for the encouragement...You ladies keep up the good work....use me as a reverse role model!

Happy New Year All!

Hey ladies, haven't weighed and don't want to weigh for fear of what it's going to tell me!!!! Nope but ti's not going to go away with all that I have been doing which is eating and no exercise......

Joan so glad to hear you got back in the gym GREAT JOB!!!

Caie and Karey- LOVE IT!!! Great job to both of you and to Jessica.....eveyone seems to be keeping on track...yeah I eat something and think man I need to get on cal count and confess, so it's never out of my mind long.....

I can go ahead and say I probably won't be good tomorrow, wine is involved...need I say more...wine or possible cocount rum...yep I'm pretty sure I"m going to be bad....need to get it out of my system and get back on track and the right frame of mind for sure......

I will weigh Friday.....need a reality check!!!!

Hoping to get back to exercising too....I feel all flabby and hate it.

On a plus note, I ahve been talking to summer about changing our eating habits like when I cook pork chops (her fav) she will eat 2, I said from now on you only need to eat 1 and veggies, so we will shop together to get veggies that she likes and plan meals that will help her be satisfied, will have to rein in the sweets for her too...going to do more jello and fruit for her and us...ya'll know my sweet tooth, so I really think I help her get on a healthy track, yes she is only 9 but has a stocky build and I just want to teach her more healthy way of life so she doesn't have to struggle the rest of her life.

Any input on helping her make better choices will be greatly appreciated.
