Friends for Losers (the good kind of loser....)

Hello all!!

A big shout out to my girls from the "Lose 10 lbs by date, 2008" post.   ( :    Since starting that post, I am down almost 18 lbs.  

People asked about a new post.  Here it is! 

Weekly Friday weigh-ins?
Motivating friends? 
Friendly challenges to get moving, eat and drink right, and be conscious of all we do?

This is the place for you!

All old friends --JOIN ME!!!!  ---  new friends always welcome!

Actually, I hope that this post can bring people in from all my different cc groups....that way when we all meet one day, it will be like one huge reunion show!  ( :

TODAY WEIGHT:  166 
GOAL WEIGHT for next payday (7-20):  160

stop in--chime in--sign in --log in-- phone in--write in --bust in--yeah..but weigh in???  oh god I just can't!!!   lol

Hi friends - I was in Ulm this weekend (left Wed.) to be with my mom for surgery.  I am worn out.  My parents are like two naughty toddlers....lol.  I did not weigh on Friday but this morning I was 130.9.  I ate so much chocolate at my parents house.  My dad keeps it stocked for mom so I of course had to have some.  I am talking European chocolate....they can shop on the Air Force Base and get all kinds of chocolate.

The chocolate sounds fantastic! If you're going to splurge, it should be on the good stuff!

One of the prof's here spent his sabatical in Germany and brought me a box of chocolates. I gave them to my daughter on the condition that I get 1 and only 1. Good thing they left the building!!!

I'm going to have to start really mentally preparing myself for resisting temptation. Throughout most of the year I can endulge a little at 'special occasions' but the time of year is fast approaching where every week there is some special occasion. Not gonna do it!

I am back to 129.7

Will it ever go down?  I will work out again today at the gym.  Yesterday I walked on my treadmill for 15min then another 20 after eating dinner.  I only walked 3 mph because I was reading.  I will try to continue this on non-gym days.

I admire your ability to read and walk on a treadmill. (I know it's silly but I'd fall right off!) You know it will add up eventually. Hard to patient, isn't it? Especially since it seems we don't have to wait to see BAD results. I was 133.1 on the weekend but have been 135.1 for the last two days. I think it will settle down even if I eat maintenance but 2 days in a row is disconcerting anyway.
What a head game this is.

must just be our "up" week, chris.   I was all the way down to 154 last week --- 157 this week.   

Next week is the down week --   ( :  

How is everyone???  weigh in?   : P 

I miss this post being jumping!

134.1

Harumph. Not what I was hoping for but whatever. I'm actually fairly happy with how the week went (aside from one disastrous lunch -- which I pretty much made up for later.) I did have a LOT of salt this week (sauerkraut, stir fry, etc.) so maybe I can wash some water out today. I was at home yesterday and I always forget about drinking with all the other things calling for my attention.

I did D1 W4 of C25K yesterday. Can't even guess how long it's been since I've run 5' at once so that was a challenge. My main problem was that I hadn't taken time to check the music on DH's MP3 player -- it was classical and had a lot of dramatic pauses. NOT ideal for running. Words that I wouldn't want DH's congregation to hear came repeatedly from my lips!  Felt great afterward, though!

LOL --   you?  swearing?   I love it.  

Good for you on C25K.  It;s hard....     it will get easier though....   ( : 

BOO sodium too, for being so dang yummy.  

129.3 finally!

It must be the little extra I am doing on the treadmill.  My eating has been good but my parents will be here this weekend so I will not be too careful plus we are having A's babyshower.  I will want several beers after that since I invited her maternal side of the family including her birth mom.  Remember me saying she is back in the picture "and is doing so good", I am glad but for awhile I was the only mother now that the meth mom is back and appears clean all is well, which is good.....I really should be happy but in do get a bit envious....I know that is wrong.  The baby's daddy's mom will be there and she can be such a snotty woman.  I will be the better person......I feel like throwing up.  Pray for me to be good and to be wise and be a good hostess.  I am so going to need God's help.  I will have to do a write up in my journal!!!!

all right, kim!!!!!!!!!!!!   WOO HOO ----  yay!

stay strong.   remember how good that number feels and do deep breathing instead of drinking.    YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!

am I the only loser still posting here???   ) : 

anywho weigh in ---   maintain from last week, 157.   ( :  

better eating next week...... 

still 130.  Not hungry but can eat trail mix and apples and drink tea.  My dr says it is in my head.....I already know that.  He says I suffer anxiety and depression.....it is apart of me just like my blue eyes.  I love that man because he makes me feel normal when I am not.

I wish you were happier, puppy.     ((((((HUGS OF HAPPINESS)))))) 

anything talkng could help with?  

Sorry I forgot to weigh in Friday...but what's the point? We all know it's 134.x anyway!

I know that it's my fault not something mysterious this week. Monday I gobbled cookies in the afternoon and last night I had pumpkin pie frozen yogurt at a local stand. That stuff was soo good I wish I couldn't remember.

puppy, I think with all you've got on your plate it can't be ABNORMAL to suffer from situational depression. Hang in there! Listen to your doc, he sounds like a good one.

love you, chris.      yum to yogurt too!! 

you look hot ---- that is wrth so much.   ( :

I agree, puppy.    hang in there, girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it WAS 134.5 yesterday, today it's 136. I'm just a salty old broad today.  I'm on my third bottle of water this morning...maybe tomorrow the scale will be nicer.

even with TTOM finally getting here, I was 156 this morning.      ( :

hi all!

i am baack:) after a period of, well, having fun traveling and then being super busy at work therefore falling off the wagon, i have decided it was about time to do some proper dieting again:) today and tomorrow is going to be chaotic at work, but this shall not stop e from keeping up, right?.)))

i have gained back a few but not horribly much. i am 201 (my lowest was about 192 i think) lbs as of now, hoping to be on the way to my target weight... how is everyone?

hey girl!   good to see you!!!  ( :  

I have been better personally  ((broke up with J a few weeks ago and that's been rough)), but cc wise, I am good.   

keep talking   --- no more disappearing!  (((HUGS)))

127.9......I finally budged.  I have only been walking on treadmill and lifting 15 lbs dumbells a few days a week.  I have not gone to the gym.  I am really watching my food intake though.
