wow soupcanx

i've got a very fancy SE cell. I wouldn't want to drop it anywhere! it was super expensive and it's super neat wt high resolution cam and all.

i've got a friend though who seems to like to "drown" his cells all the time. he dropped one in the toilet and another one in a pond LOL neither worked after being found LOL

I think if I dropped my phone in the toilet I wouldn't bother drying it off to use it agian.... The thought of bacteria staying in the keyboards permanently.... Arghh.

Hey everyone,

My PC went to the shop for a week, and I went to use my PC at work, but everytime I go into the office. The damn phone would ring and out the door I went. I've been working non stop.. Only seeing my kids a few days out of the week. It's been a roller coaster ride, and my weight is up once again Tammy. I don't know what in the world is going on. Just now at 160 again, and it's water weight gain, and on top of that a little of this weight has to be muscle weight too. I've been lifting like crazy, and the new boyfriend is good at pushing me to my max. We been working out on my off days doing double workouts. 8 mile hikes and weight training for 40 mins.. All of this working out is paying off, but I'm gaining muscle weight, and I'm tone.. Less wiggle and jiggle going on in some areas, but as of now. I would like a smooth diet to fall into my hands. Current weight is 160.4 and the time of the month has a lot to do with it. I've been flipping and losing my head over this weight loss thing, but guess what. I have a great support team, and you all are the best.. Keep on working hard all of you.. I will update my weight in the morning. Hopefully I hope it didn't mess up with more gain.. I've also been using the smooth and move tea.. It's been working for me.. I gotta run.. Chat you all later...

Tammy, the new pic if I haven't answered it is.. All about a plus size free closet. I'm in my closet and I'm happy about not having fat clothing in there at all. Another good thing about having all these clothes that aren't plus size is this... When I do gain a few pounds. I make it my business to get to work and lose the weight. That even goes for my workout clothes. If they don't fit right. I work out harder than ever.. It's works for me. I had to clear out all the fat clothes to make room for the new clothes, and on top of that.. It really does help me keep my weight in check. I made a promise. I will not go back up in sizes, and my closet will stay plus size free.

Great going Lynn! You sound so motivated!

i'm so happy! My scale is at 128.3 AND TOM is due on Wed :) hopefully i won't bloat by then LOL

Well done you, Lynn!  I'm trying to stay motivated.  Not used to losing weight slowly but I knew this time I'd have to be patient.  You guys are so great, you keep me going.

Happy Monday!

I realized this weekend that some of the M's (European, so that's S in US) don't fit me anymore. They look WAY too baggy on me. I'm still debating whether to clean my closet b4 we go on vacation or after. But i'm tempted to do it now so that i know what I need to buy (we are getting to Vienna right smack during the sales season!)

How you all doing? Well this morning I got the kids off to the next school year, and they all was happy to go. I was talking to my kids, and one of them was telling me.. MA! I know what you are going to be doing...... Heading to the trackk before I start my full work load, and she is so right. I'm just home now... Relaxing. I got a few people to take over my work week, and I need to address this weight spike again.

tpoet, it's hard to lose weight, but when you are doing it the right way it does pay off in the long run. It's going to happen, and you are right. We all need to be patient.. I'm learning how to roll with the punches, and to keep on jabbing.

Cricket, cleaning out my closet a year ago was the best thing for me. But I was holding on to a pair of 18's I didn't need, and found myself in them a few months back. The moment I got out of them again.. I tossed them out, and told myself. I will never go back. I will wear what I have in style, and when I have to squeeze into a pair of jeans.. I know... It's time to get my A back on the ball. No more excuses..... I have to get her done all the way done..

weight as of this morning 158.6, and I am dealing with it the best way I know how... Trying to get back down.. It's going to be hard, but I know I can do it.

I first cleaned my closed in Oct 2006. Packed all loose clothes and sent them to mom. Since then, I cleaned it AGAIN in July 2008 , when we renovated the apartment. Again, tossed out a bunch of loose clothes. Now I still have some L and M's which are too loose and they need to GO!

I don't need to hold onto old loose clothes b/c I don't plan to be fat again!

I feel the same way as you do, Cricket. When you work so hard to lose the weight. Why hold on to those clothes from the past. The only thing that gets me is this. The yo yo system my body bounces backwards and forward too, and I know damn well I don't have to do this. So today "yesterday" I went for a run. I got in 3 miles, and I was very proud of myself. New Bo was out doing his work thing, and I had time on my hands to get in a few miles, and will be doing it again in the late after noon. I'm at work now, and you can't do a whole lot of stuff when you are working in someone home... So I got my yoga mat with me.. I get board.. I lay down and get in a few crunches. I try not to do anything that has to do with a whole lot of movement. I don't want to work up an sweat, and be called in to check on someone.. SO I keep it simple.. I did all that hard work in 2007 and 2008 to lose this weight. I sometimes wonder.. Do these yo yo effects I have has anything to do with fear of changing 100% from the old me. Well, in time I will know. I've been asking myself a whole lot of questions..

How's everyone this morning anyway.. I'm up working as you all see, and it's not nice at all. But money does count. Went into a few stores today, and saw some things I would like to own and wear one day, and the only thought that came to mind was this.. I got to wear what I have in the closet first from the early part of 2008. All that hard work.. That's all I keep on telling myself, and it's just a load of clothes up in my closet that I can't enjoy because of my back slides into weight gain.. I have to keep my head up, and my A in high gear ands stop feeling pitty for myself..

I'm rushing to finish all work related stuff by Friday.

I got the rail passes and travel insurance yesterday so i'm all set up. I just need to exchange some money b4 we go.

Otherwise, TOM showed up, which is right on schedule, as usual. I feel great , thankfully.

Hello everyone!

I saw this thread and decided to join as I need a bit of motivational assistance. I started exercising because I was unhealthy, had a bad skin and just looked awful on photos. I felt uncomfortable in my own skin and didn't feel sexy.

I started exercising in Feb 08 and have lost 15kg and 2 dress sizes. I'm now happy at a UK size 6/8 and now focus sing on building muscle.

I stopped doing cardio - and that was difficult as I was addicted - but it didn't do me any good, I was at a stage where I lost TOM and was so obsessed with counting calories I was driving my husband mad! He made me stop for a whole month and said I should eat what I want when I want.  So I stopped counting for a couple of months and just focused on eating properly, the problem was, I was eating way too much and then went the other way - oh dear - Now, I'm not counting everyday, and focusing on taking in more protein. I'm back to going to the gym 3 to 4 times a week, but seriously lost it last week when I had a whole FAT WEEK! I hate when that happens, I get all motivated and my biggest problem is recovering when I cheated, I can't help but going in to that mood of, oh well I've screwed up today might as well carry on... and that is not right! I know!

So this week I started from scratch, I allow myself nice healthy snacks and have been doing great, taking baby steps again and not going near the scale.

BUT TODAY I'm CRAVING A BIG SLICE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!! So I'm drinking water instead and have a cup of coffee, my colleague just offered me a nectarine - he doesn't understand the cravings of women... bless him!

Anyway, Thanks for reading my post, enjoy the day.

I spent a bit of time thinking and I'm really contemplating closing this account. I've searched for help from ppl in my weight range and instead i got nasty comments and assumptions.

I plan either not to log ever again or to delete the account.

Lynn, we are friends on SparkPeople so we can catch up there. All others... you can look me on SparkPeople, use CricketRo

Cricket, I'm so sorry you didn't receive any support on this site, you've been a great support to me.  I don't know anything about SparkPeople, maybe I'll check it out.  I'm starting to close some social network accounts, just closed Twitter, keeping Facebook as it's the only way I can keep up with all of my family and friends in the US.

Since you're closing your account here you probably won't even see this post.  I wish you nothing but success and happiness in whatever you pursue, Cricket.

All the best!!!

No, we lost a comrade!

Sparks People eh? I'll join and when I do I'll post my SN from there here.

EDIT: My name there is Moon_Doggie

I joined sparks already, and I love it over there.. It's nice, and I have not ran into any smart comments from anyone. It's nothing but love and support from everyone over there, and I really like the fact that I have love and support from so many people. It's hard to find good support, and I've joined a lot of support groups. CC has a lot of people who likes to voice there veiws, and  we take those veiws in the wrong way. Because sometimes they are said in the wrong way. What I've learn with this sight is to let people say what they say, and let that crap roll off my back, because at the end of the day. None of them has to live my life or walk a mile in my shoes.. I'm going to miss my friend, and she has been with me for months, and one of my number one supports.. Along with a few other's, but every fitness or support group I've started. She would be the first to join right on in, and I know she is going to be just fine. I will always have connects with my girl Cricket, and she is always going to be one of my biggest supporters.. No matter where she is at, and I'm going to be hers.. I hate that I'm losing her, but I will always have her. She's not far from us or our hearts. We know how to find her, and I'm going to chat her as often as I can. She's been my support, and my eye opener.

Cricket! I'm going to miss you so much. You take care of yourself, and I will be around to chat you up from time to time. Love ya lots.. Lynn

SparksPeople's site is... really colorful and flashy. It bothers my eyes, CC is white and light baby blue and SparksPeople is overload. Maybe I just got too used to this place, I'll give it a chance.

I hope this group continues to be active though, it's kind of a bummer becuase Cricket is the same height as me so I could relate to her goal weight but hopefully we can keep on truckin'.

Hey everyone, I started another support group, but this one does has weighns. I had to gain come kind of control over my yo yo weight gains and lost. So I got a group of people over there who was willing to give this support group a shot. I'm just asking for them to do a few exercise mins during the week. I hope this helps me lose some more weight. As of now. Everything is crazy. How are you all doing? No one has posted in a while. I'm one of them, and I just wanted to drop in and say hi.

Hello!!!

I'm here!  Hi Lynn!  And everyone else!!  I'm doing ok.  I'm still walking as much as I can and TRYING to control my eating.  Especailly at night!  I'm really struggling.  It's like an addiction.  Like someone trying to stop smoking.  It's hard as hell! 

It use to be so easy.  I'd cut out the sugary stuff and really stick to my plan and it would work.  Now I can't stick to a darn thing!  I'm really disappointed with myself.

My hubs and I talked about it Saturday evening.  He understands completely!  He was so sweet and nice to me about it.  I told him I'm really trying, but I fail to follow through with everything I need to do.  IDK what to do anymore.  :(

I'll keep trying, no quitting here.....

Have a nice week!
