I was given the ultimate gift for Xmas --- a vacation to LA and Vegas.
I want to lose 10 lbs before we fly out on May 24th.
Weekly weigh ins?
Motivating friends???
Anyone?
: D   I know I am sure going to try hard as my goal is to buy and WEAR a bathing suit in public without a t-shirt or shorts. 

Join Me??   ( ;

Thanks Olivia, immom!  I have a stationary bike. I like it --when music is playing--The seat kinda hurts the bum but I can deal with that to burn the calories!

154.6 today  (My lowest since joining CC is 154)

Friends for Losers works.  :)

I like the name "Friends for Losers" too.

I have been working hard this week.....I hope it shows on the scale Friday.

I had a major munchy craving last night. One of those ones where you know no matter what you eat it will not satisfy your craving. I gave in to a huge bowl of fruit(sliced nectarine, 4 strawberries and 1/2 cup of blueberries). Which was better than the chocolate bar and cookies that were calling me. I was full but still wanted to eat. I must have drank at least 6 glasses of water to try and squash the craving. Finally went to bed.

Going swimming. Swimming laps with my 4 year old hanging around my neck is one heck of a workout! My almost 6 year old can swim. She finally took off the life jacket and tried. To her amazement she can! And my son is a fish so this should be fun.

I haven't workout(besides swimming) in WOW 3 WEEKS. I didn't realise it has been that long. I was sick but now I have no excuses! I'm getting on my elliptical for at least 30 minutes.

Have a good rest of your day ladies!

yay mom!   <3 the fruit --- be the fruit!!!   ( :   summer time is so great for my sweet tooth!

hope the elliptical flies by ---   keep it up!

----------------  so tomorrow is the day!  I am going start a post called Friends for Losers.   I would like it if somehow my many groups of friends could merge-morph, so that when one day we all meet on some talk show, it is like a big reunion show!    

crazy, I know, but I love my cc girls!

Hi Girls,

I've missed everyone, and it sounds like you are all doing wonderful.  Lots of great challenges!  I had a scare when I dropped down to 88.8 pounds on July 4th.  :(  It takes a lot to scare me too, but that sure did.  Today I am 90.4, but I was 91.8 yesterday.  ( Thanks for your comments Olivia, and I am noticing even more a sense of vulnerability and just a weird feeling at this low weight. ) I want to get back up to at least 93 I have decided.  That would be about perfect.

 I have gotten a bit irritated by some comments lately from people, asking me if I have been ill?!  That's what really scared me I guess. The past two weeks I have been eating more, but have found myself addicted to exercise now.  I am doing 2 hours of cardio dance a day, and usually 30 minutes of brisk walking.  As well as lifting my 3 and 5 pound weights.  My arms are looking great, and I have never seen such a flat tummy in years!  I do love that.  And I have hip bones now too!  :) 

 I am so full of energy, and have so many interests now.  I'm just a much happier person.  I went into a clothing store to try on new sizes in jeans, and they gave me size 1 petite,  ( they didn't have size 0 ) and they were actually a little loose.  And I really didn't want to pay $ 100.00 for a pair of jeans anyway! 

 Then another salesperson came out to assist the first one, and they took me over to the girls sizes!  I was absolutely shocked when I slipped on a size 12 girls, and they fit me perfectly!  And only $ 24.99 for the same $ 100.00 pair I tried on in petite sizes!    I was absolutely thrilled and purchased them.  I can't believe I fit into girls sizes! 

 That will sure save me lots of money if I can stay there.  The sales girls sure had a giggle too.  They said I was tiny, but they didn't think I looked sickly..........but said I should definitely not lose anymore weight, and even a few pounds gained would be a good idea.  I agree.  So anyway that's what has been going on with me the past two weeks.  You girls are all doing so great, and I love the new name for this thread too.  "Friends For Losers, " that sound great!  Have a wonderful weekend!
