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

Morning! To my happy surprise the scale is down half a pound. I haven't really had the best week with my calories but I did do very well yesterday.

158.5 today

I'm taking the day off from official exercise. I have a huge order coming in at work(7eleven). It's my job to put it all away. It will take the whole 8 hours and then some. Boxes of cups are the hardest. 20-50lbs each 20+boxes of them, and they go up on shelves above my head. I'll consider that my "workout". After working Fridays I'm exhausted.

I am ready to take on the weekend. My kids are going to spend the weekend with their dad again. I miss them but it's a needed break.

Happy Friday ladies!

Hi everyone, today weigh in is 146.4

I am happy that the trend is going down. It's pouring outside and my knees and ankles hurt from yesterday workout. I am going to take it easy today with abs work, then start cardio again tomorrow.

Immom - I absolutely know what you mean. Exercise time is like my own time away from my kid. Enjoy your weekend off.

Olivia, did you get that ever-so-romantic new scale from J? I NEVER get that kind of fluctuation (without cause) from my little $25 WW scale. It also doesn't fluctuate from putting it on the floor in different spots as I read in other people's posts.

not yet, chris, but it is ordered.  Our 4 year anni is 7-27, so it;s coming....     I hope too that it is more reliable than the (expensive) WalMart fancy one.   mine fluctuates as you stand on it.    DANG IT  -- it makes me crazy

YUMMY, garlic girl!  ( :

that sounds divine!

it was great, but the smell... well, hehe

you all sound like your doing great. I got side track since Thurs. went to see grand daughter in a play and did okay at lunch turkey sand and salad. Friday went to see Mama mia and took all my own stuff and then ended up sitting beside little one with the popcorn with buttter, oh no....., Sat. I had a yard sale and grand daughter showed up with cookies she baked and lemonade for her lemonade stand and grandma ended up eating cookie and drinking lemonade till someone else started buying it. Then the cooking got out of control for the whole family and stress started in since I need to do homework for school and I was babysitting witch I didn't plan so the diet with down the crapper for the weekend. Weighing in on Tues. so will probably be disappointing. Will be drinking water tomorrow.  The weekends are rough , need to go grocery shopping tomorrow. Talk to you tomorrow , hope all is going well for you all.

ugggghhh...I just keep gaining..holding fluid...and still no TTOM...I just don't get it....Yeah I am really depressed ..maybe that is it.

Keep it up you wonderful losers...

I am ashamed I am doing so poorly

hello!

here is a fellow loser from your other groups:-)

feeling good today. back at 199 lbs (my lowest weight)

finally moved down after WEEKS of oscillating. I am 197 lbs today, hooooray

Hooray KA - I am happy to hear about your loss - 197 <--- awesome!!! Keep up your hard work it is paying off! 

OK girls... 

I am so freaking proud to annouce that I wogged 4 days last week Sun, Tues, Wed & Thurs.  Which is a lot of wogging for me, it was so hard to find the time to myself, but I did it and feel great for doing it. 

This week - I already wogged 2 times yesterday...  Woohoo - off to another great start this week!  Woohoo!!!

Happy Monday everyone!

Way to go jess! That's just awesome. And I get how difficult it is for you to get time to yourself, I'd probably be tempted to just lay in a tub of bubbles! So great that you spent it REALLY taking care of yourself.

Zen & Gypsie, don't let it get you down. It's just part of life and this CAN be a better week. No room for shame and no time for regret. It's Monday...a whole new start!

[Chris says this wiping the memory of Sunday's corn bread from her brain!]

SO ----   congrats to ka and jess for good happenings!  ( :

I agree with chris, zen and gypsie.  Chins up!

I so did not make my goal of 160 by payday.   With the new scale, I am back to 169, but hopefully the new scale will eliminate the fluctuations as I stand on the dang thing and I can get some consistent weights.  

I was not very good this weekend either.  SO --I should just be happy the number is the same today as it was Friday. 

OH -- so btw --- ka and jess --- you are beating me!!!!   =P

Great job ladies,   Hang in there olivia it's monday back on track for us.  I weigh in tomorrow with dietitian - I dont' think she will be happy with me. God, weekends! Next weekend friday,Sat.Sunday I will go out of town on my only summer vacation this year.  I will try and take some stuff with me. Have a good day. check in later.

oh come on. we do not fight each other do we? the thing is to go-every one their own pace-to a land where we all shall be, ie a land of healthy weight - and beauty:)

so sweet, ka --   I know, I know.  jess and I have seriously been neck and neck, pushing each other along since a year ago when I joined cc.   ( :  

it is all friendly competition.     xoxoxox

I am feeling rather defeated right now, so that may be why it came off catty, if it did to you.  sorry!  

158.8 after some lasix feel a little better -guess this cycle just isn't happening

Exactly - I always look at your progress to get my butt back into gear...

I envy you with your wogging success, and I am trying to catch up to your ability to wog your entire session without stopping for a walk. 

So I look at you as my inspiration and motivation - cause we are going to get there together... Ain't no fun unless you make it to your destination with your friends...
