Hi Everyone....

It's 9 pm here... I'm so depressed!!

Went shopping today for my cruise... BTW I hate shopping because I never find anything I like!!! Today was the exception.. I loved everything... Then I tried it on!!!!!!! Nothing FITS!!!!!!!!!!I'm so depressed!!! I've lost a decent amount of weight and still nothing fits!!!

Don't worry.... Not going to eat myself out of depression... I'm good on that part...

maybe I'm just jealous... my girlfriend called me today... (she had the surgery) she's down 44 lbs.. and in an 18... I hate her right now.... not really... today is her 2 month anniversary of the surgery and she was a 26 now an 18.... I've lost 30 lbs.. and I'm only down 1 size!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be better tomorrow ... I just know it..... tonight will be rough!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mtsofmercy]

I got my whoosh!!!!!!!!!

I busted into the 180's today!!!!


189 lbs!!!!


It is so unreal. When I look at that number I can't believe it is MY weight. I haven't weighed this much since 1997 at least!!!! UNREAL!!! I am soooo happy!!!

[Reva72]

Here are a few pics from Faiths party. The pics turned out really crappy. I wish I would have gotten a disposable.




Here is a pic with me in it. As you can see, I had no time for myself to get ready. I looked horrible.


and here is a pic that also isn't very good at my baptism. This is about a month old now.


This is a pic of Cody and my nephew Bailey.



I am going to try and take some more pics of Faiths room today. The ones I had taken aren't good quality at all. I don't know what is up with my camera.

[Reva72]

So Sorry they are so big. I forgot to resize them.

[Mrssillymom3]

Dawn~ WTG girl... keep your chin up... YOu are doing great.. and you will be in them 18's before too long... and just think... you didn't have to go under the knife to get there... all hard work, sweat and determintation... be proud of yourself girl... I am sure very proud of y ou!! KUTGW

Amber..... AWESOME !!! 180's that is so great... I am so proud of you too!!! KUTGW 170's here you come!!!

Reva~ I think you look great... even if you didn't have time to fix yourself up... you are such a beautiful person....!! The pics are nice.... not as bad as I thought from what you said. Hope to chat with ya after church.!!

Kim~ Hi there girly... how's it going???

Bree~ You back from Boston yet??? Hope you had a great time!!


As for me... we went house hunting yesterday... saw a couple that are potential... gotta talk to the realtor and see what the monthly payments would come out to be..... so we may be putting a bid in on one of them... but still looking.
here is my menu for today
B~ LC yogurt, coffee (got to sleep in today didn't want too much to eat first thing)
L~ 6 hot wings, salad
D~ stir fry chicken, berries

Water ~ 120 oz min
Exercise.... ~ did 4 mile (60 minutes) super challenge WATP tape this morning... may do the 2.5 mile walk/jog tape later.

Didn't get my exercise in yesterday... after looking at houses, carrying Elizabeth (all 31.5 lbs of her) up and down stairs, in and out of the car, chasing her all over the yards...... I was beat.!!
But I made up for it today.... worked out like crazy today. Sure hope I see some weight dropping or some inches gone soon... cause the scale hasn't moved all week... and I have been working out ... not sure what is going on. But trying to stay positive and focused and just keeping at it and being patient for results.
Hope you all have a great day.... BBL

[mtsofmercy]

Thanks girls for all of your kind words!!

I know the only reason I am losing like I am is b/c I am beign soooo strict. I am weighing every little piece that goes in my mouth, measuring EVERYTHING and plugging it all into fitday so there are no hidden carbs or under estimating. Last week I also added in 2 c of lettuce w/ oil and vinegar at dinner which doesn't seem to be hurting me.

Today we went to a buffet for lunch. I had a slice of turkey, 1 chicken thigh, and some white polluck w/ a tad of tartar sauce. Also about 1 c lettuce w/ oil and vinegar. Deviled eggs for breakfast... and that will be it for the day since it is Sunday. Hope to see another loss in the morning. I love losing a lb. a day!

Reva: The pics look great! You look fine! Although it is hard to have time for yourself when you are making everything perfect for someone else! I know Faith will remember this though for years to come! You are such a good mommy!!

Melissa: Hope everything works out great for you guys with the house!!!


Dawn: Hope you are doing well today!!!


Bree: Hey girl!! Talk to you when you get home!! HOpe your flight is good!


Kim: hey girl!! How are things going??

[Mrssillymom3]

What the heck is wrong with me????

I ate an entire sleeve of GS thin mints tonight... I wasn't even hungry... I had just finished my salad and 1 hamburger (changed my menu)........
I had a stressful day with the kids... (that is no excuse)
I can bombard you with reasons why I wanted them....but I won't... just want to come clean to you all...... I am being honest with myself and you all

I feel so right now too... OMG why do I do this to myself? I know I feel gross after eating that stuff.....but I torture myself and eat it anyway....!!

There is no way I am going to let food control my life anymore... that is it.... no way no how!! Just cause I am frustrated cause I haven't lost any lbs this past week I let it creep into my mind that I should just eat that crap... no more!!

Moving forward from here.... Tomorrow I think I am starting the meat fast!! no more messing around.... I need to get into ketosis again and drop some lbs and get things moving again... this is just NOT ACCEPTABLE to me anymore!!

Have a good night everyone... KUTGW....

[LV2BFUNY]

Can the team leader pm me with the list of members on this team please? Also for the challenge from 3-1 to 3-15, I am giving everyone the 1st as a freebie since I didn't get it posted until the 2nd. It is my hope that everyteam member will post daily to help get the motivation and excitement back into the challenge. You all are doing a fantastic job and I can't wait to see your results on the 15th. I will also let you know that since there are sooo many posts on the challenge board that when I need to let a team know of a new challenge or how to post stats, I will be posting on each team's thread. That way maybe everyone will see it then. If you have any questions please pm me.

Kim
P.S. If you have already sent me the list of your team members, you don't have to do it again

Breee~ Good to see you back... will read your vacation story in a bit...

Dawn~ how's your mood today? Hope it is better... can't let it get to ya girl.. keep with it and things will move again... dont' be a goober like me and eat something you will regret.

As for me... I am not going to do the meat fast...I don't want Shelby to see me going to extremes... I want to set the best example I can for her. She is going to start eating right and exercising with me now... so hopefully what I can teach her and what we learn togehter will stick with her forever and she wont' have the problem later in life I have had with food.

Okay here is mine... I even did fitday today...

L~ 1 cup lettuce, 2 tbsp ranch, 4 oz chicken, 1 hb egg
D~ 8 oz chicken, 2/3 cup green beans
I accounted for an extra HB egg just in case I need something in between...which I don't think I will...but put it in there anyway

I am working on water... and I will do my WATP 2.5 mile WALK/Jog this afternoon... probably will do it twice, once before lunch and once when Shelby gets home with her.

[LV2BFUNY]

Hi Girls.... Same mood... but working on myself... Haven't cheated... and for some reason food hasn't been apart of this.. so I don't think I'll be cheating... hey maybe I do have some control over my emotional eating... that's a plus!!

I tried turkey bacon this morning,... it's a keeper...

I am retaining water... don't know why... but I know I am because my feet are swollen... I'm not bloated or anything so.. not sure about TOM... but I think Melissa is right... he must be on his way...

I'll be back later when I can think of something positive to say...

[Reva72]

Today has been going really well for a nice change. I can't say as much for this past weekend. I have to admit I cheated on Faiths birthday. I had a huge peice of cake and ice cream. Then I topped it off with having 3 BBQ hot dogs with the "BUNS." I didn't feel guilty about it at all That is the sad part. I just knew I had to jump right back on the wagon Yesterday. Well, it didn't happen. I ended up eatting at the Pizza Buffet with my SIL and nephews and my kids and Faiths friend. I was so stuffed I was sick. You would think I would learn my darn lesson but NO I keep going back for more. Girls the scale just keeps creeping back up on me. I am here to tell you, not even one cheat is worth all I have put myself thru the last couple months. I started back on induction this morning. I know and I will do this for myself and noone else. All I am needing here girls is a nice kick in the Arse. Please don't tell me its alright and to just jump right back on the wagon. I have been jumping off and on for a few months now and its time to stop.

I have finally changed my siggy to reflect all my gains. Hopefully seeing that high number will help keep me motivated to get it back to 205.5. I am no longer even in the 100 pound club.

[mtsofmercy]

Reva: I am glad you are coming clean and ready to get back on the wagon. You can do this!! You are right, cheating is not OK, b/c it only hurts us in the long run and it pushes our goals further and further away. I believe admitting is the first step to being free and able to go on. A fresh start now to get where you want to be!

Love ya girl!

[Mrssillymom3]

Well Reva..... there is your kick in the arse!! But..... I must say.... you made some bad choices.... now you are making good choices... that is what counts most.

I am glad to see you changed your siggy..... I really believe it helps to see that number everytime you post...I kept the lower number on mine for the longest time and kept gaining and gaining... It sucks.... I hate it... but we gotta just push ahead and do this !! You will do it... and so will all of us!!

Please don't ever feel like you can't tell us stuff... if there is anything ever bothering you... stress, kids, DH, food,.... anything... just come and talk.... You know you can call me anytime at all. I am all ears girl!! I worry about you and you have helped me so much......I would love to be able to help you too. I care about ya girl.... and if you are struggling then I am struggling... cause I feel your pain girly!! It will be alright... and you are back on the wagon... and so am I... so lets make it through day 1 together.... * reaching for Revas hand*

[Reva72]

Melissa thanks so much for always being there for me. It truely does mean the world to me. It was great talking to you on the phone this morning. I love ya lots.

Amber Love ya lots girly.
