**Losing 100lbs in 2007 Aug 13-19** - Page 2

When we went to BG the other day I had/shared one of those big smoked turkey drum sticks, OMG it was sooo good. We are going back tonite, so I'm gonna buy a couple extra ones. They are only $5, and that is a good price for a theme park. Disney's turkey drums are like $8, anyways now my mouth is watering

kbetz0419 · 08-14-2007, 08:23 AM

char- I think thats great your working with kids, is like a corectional thing or is like day care? hope you can finish your house soon. I have alist of things I have to do when school starts

Bug keep up the walking. I used to have a tred but I gave it to BRo in law a couple of years ago. HUbby is going to see what they are doing with it.My kids walk to slow.

Mycataz, good morning, sory about the scale, but I heard there is this weird gravataional force thing happen rite now, so scales dont count. ( LOL just kidding) keep trying.

Christy514 · 08-14-2007, 08:52 AM

Morning Gals

I am at 268 this morning ~ 4.4 away from 20lbs in 1 month goal

ok here goes:

Jennay: dum, dum da dum..... Here comes the bride

Aggie: If you need to talk we're here for ya

Bpgurl: I'm sure you have lost today, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

Divine: I'm the same way when it comes to weighing in. I need the motivation, it's like the competition with myself that keeps me driven.

Kbetz:....He's a man, there's nothing more to be said My DH made a comment yesterday kinda like yours. He saw some really old pics of my mom and in his defense when my parents were married mom my did not take care of herself! she was overweight and just did not look good. He said (not in a mean way) Christy, if your mom looked like that all those years maybe that's why your dad cheated! So I reminded him how he says he loves me no matter what....regardless of how I look??? right and he said yes (b/c he always tells me that!) So then I said the if he loved her it should not have mattered?!?! He was like...yeah I guess your right. So I told him a comment like the one you just made makes me question you! If I looked like that would you cheat on me? or would you stick with "not seeing the difference in me (fat or thin) and loving me regardless and all that mumbo-jumbo" and he got it!

I also totally related to your comment about the obsessing about food before and now obsessing about food in a different way. I obsessed about how fat I was and what I could eat all day, now I obsess about how much I have lost and I am constantly thinking about what I should eat to make that happen ~ regardless our lives are still revolving around our weight and the food we eat! But I do prefer this obesssion

Dreamcometru · 08-14-2007, 08:54 AM

Jamie: Sending whoosies your way. Unbelievable you've lost 55 lbs. People won't know you! Great job.

So when does school start for you?

Penny: Yah, family stress has run in our family lately too, and not losing any weight doesn't help. It down right sucks! Anyway, my best to you. Glad you are still reading and post when you can.

Divine!!!!!! Thank you. I didn't know stress causes cortisol. When I went up unexplicably 4 lbs, now I know why. I was going through a tough family situation which still hasn't quite resolved itself, but bam up went the lbs. I was so frustrated. I didn't know what I did wrong. I'm so looking forward to a month llike I had two months ago when I dropped 9 in one month. That seems so far away now. It must have been stress free!

Tannie: So great you can do so many cool things with your kids b/4 school starts. We used to do that when our kids were young. I've had a couple of days off and the most I've done is take my 15 yo driving so he can get ready to get his license. Oh, and that's very stressful too so no wonder I haven't lost anything!

Kbetz: I've been married for 26 years. My DH is very overweight, and he's been very complimentary toward my weight loss. He's even tried several times to diet with me. But he does blunder once in a while with what he says or how he says it. It's a man thing, I think. Awwww ya gotta love em! On the scale thing, I like your plan. I am obsessive, I'll be the first to admit it, but it's my guide. I'm addicted and I can't let go, not even on a weekly basis. I have weigh in at my research group today and I know my weight hasn't changed but maybe a lb. so I'm prepared rather than going in and being disappointed.

Jennay: I sure wish I could rack up all the lbs I've lost this month over and over again. Shoot, I could say I've lost 20 lbs.

I hate the 190's. Can't seem to get out of them. Don't worry about the increase. You did so good before, you will lose it right back down. Are ya ready for school? DS has registration today. It will be great to get back into a regular routine around here.

Lisa: I just ran into a lady the other day who used to be my size before I lost weight, who looked anorexic. It was so sad. I hope she's okay. I don't know what she did, but it's gone too far. I saw here about midway through her weight loss and she looked fantastic. Now she looks sick!

Good to hear from you Char. Glad all is going well.

Keep up the good work Bug.

Hi anyone else I missed

kbetz0419 · 08-14-2007, 10:04 AM

christy- boy do we think alike.. I have been trying to haveing the attitude today of I dont care what the scale says and didnt even check. Now that I have drank nearly a gallon of water and had 2 eaten, I am dieing to know if it budged over night. I wont dare go near it now. I will just have to wait till the morning. tick, tock, tick, tock.

Jamie I cant wait to here how your first day goes. I cant wait to see all my school mom friends and see if anyone notices my 25 pounds.

dream 26 years thats great. I dont know that many people who have made it that long. Its nice to know that people can stick it out. I love raising the kids but I already had my oldest son when we married and then we had one together , adopted one and are working on the last adoption in the cort system. I am curious to see what married life will be like with out the ankle bitters.( dont get me wrong I love my kids) We try and find time a couple times a year to have a date.

When I married my dh almost 8 years ago, We had one of my sons still at home.... now he has been on his own now for about 4 years...... Me and Dh enjoy our free time... sometimes i DO miss the kids being around... miss talking to them... now I have to try and reach them by phone cause they are a few hours away.... They have cell phones, just don't answer them all the times...

denibun · 08-14-2007, 02:14 PM

Hey guys. Vacations are done. THe kids are back in school. I can finally get back to losing the rest of my 100 lbs. I'm up a bit since my vacations, etc, but summer always does that to me. Here's my most recent lovely picture.

Denise

kbetz0419 · 08-14-2007, 02:36 PM

Denise- I think you did great with your weight loss, 71 #s from jan20- june 5 . Thats awsome.

I have this fealing that I am going to start droping "big time" soon. I started LC the last week of school, and have had a crazy summer with the kids. When school starts its crazy , but a diffrent kind of crazy. Its a much buiser on the go crazy. There is verry little junk in the house because the kids arnt here. I just have this good fealing, I cant explain it.

denibun · 08-14-2007, 02:37 PM

Thanks. Now, I need to get my butt in gear and get the rest of it off.

denise

mycattaz · 08-14-2007, 05:23 PM

kbetz0419 · 08-14-2007, 07:43 PM

PoorAggieMom · 08-14-2007, 08:44 PM

Christy – Wow! You’ve almost lost more in one month than I have in three months!

Dream – Thanks so much for the kind words! I appreciate you!

Bug – Not only do we have a really nice gym here at my complex, but we also have a lap pool. I just can’t seem to get down there. I think I would do much better with a treadmill in front of the TV!

Jen – Congrats on catching the bouquet! Hope it holds true and you’re next!

Kbetz – My problems sound trivial compared to yours! Maybe I’m getting old, but my patience for the little ones has diminished. I admire you.

DMM – Hmmm…that makes sense. I haven’t cheated, but I’ve been so hungry. So I’m just eating more, and gained!

Tannie – I’d better get busy, or you’re going to pass me up!

Lisa – you’re such a sweetie! Thanks so much!

If I call my daughter’s cell and she doesn’t answer for a couple of days, I leave her a voice mail that says that if she doesn’t call me back, then the money and the cell phone end. Amazing how quickly she calls back!

Jamie – Wow! Your friends at school aren’t even going to recognize you! You’re doing terrific!

Denise – Welcome back! You’ve been missed!

Whew! I think that’s all the posts I missed. I was down 2 pounds this morning; just one more to get back to where I was before my stress gain. I’m so disappointed. I haven’t cheated (passed on cake and catered lunch), and yet I’ve gained. Oh well. I’ve wasted a whole week. Now it’s time to get busy again. I've made my way to the land of the spinning skirts! Now I’m headed to onederland!

This made me laugh. I am careful about who I tell things to. I have found myself dumping on here alot, because I am such a stronger person in real life. ( not that this isnt real LOL) I had a nurse today tell me how much she thinks of my family and everything we do and have been threw. It always so strange to think that we have big issues. I always seem to find my self saying " well if this is the worse thing that happens then were doing Ok.
God wont give me things that I cant handle.

I think every one has there ups and down with struggles in life, so if you ever want to vent. I am great at listening/reading. I have learned to let things roll off my back.

We deal with children with disciplinary problems but not criminal or who have been abused in some way and the most extreme cases suicidal. Working in this kind of facility really opens your eyes to this crazy world we live in, all I can say is to all of you who are parents hold your children tight, kiss them, talk to them and let them know you love them.

Bug · 08-15-2007, 06:32 AM

Morning everyone.

Feeling really

yucko this am. Had one of those nights where life and family get to you. Went a little off plan last night and really paying the price in every way this morning. Didn't walk this morning either - I will definitely get that in tonight. I'm starting to take off Wednesday nights from my second job.

Finally, a little peace in the middle of the week.

Ya'll talked about the demon scale yesterday. I am *so* into weighing every morning. This morning -

. I knew I would be up from last night. It just goes to show you that the so called little slips are not so little because you pay a BIG price!

I'm still trying to get adjusted to one of my medicines so hopefully that will level out in another week. It is just so much stronger and the morning dosage is kicking me on my behinney! I feel so

right now but I will work through it. I have a follow up tomorrow morning so we will discuss it with the doctor.

My short term goal is just to get under 300 on the scale. I.will.do.it. I.will.not.give.up!

Hope everryone has a wonderful day and I'll be thinking of you!

mycattaz · 08-15-2007, 06:52 AM

Bugs could one of you med becausing you to gain alittle weigh.... do hope you feel better really soon....I to am looking so forward to getting under 300.... I still have a ways to go... just got to keep working at it

Aggie- I love you too, I think you are the sweetest..... You have encourage me on her so many times.... And if you were here I would be lost....

Char you are so right, Life get to over complicated at times and we forget what is important..... there are so many Kids out there that just want alittle attention, to know someone cares....

to tellyou alittle story... my grandson called the other day he is only 6... he wanted to tell me he lost his first tooth.... he was so cute... He said grandma I lost a tooth and my mouth is bleeding.. And I said now you will have to stick it under the pillow for the tooth fairy to come and leave you some money.... He said ok and gave his phone back to his mom......lol.... My daugter, she is not prefect by no means, but when it comes to the kids she does special things, that I know they will remembe when they get older... They were going inside to make a pouch for the tooth to go in, color it really pretty( he is only 6) so the tooth fairy will love it and get it and give hims some money.... its not so much about the pouch or the money.... Its about making this little event in his life special.... something he will never forget....

so many kids out there never experience these little things, Mom and dad taking the time out to make a memory for them, maybe I should say a good memory for them.....

ok enough said, I could start crying.... I just wish I could bring them all home with me and love them.... but that is why God gave everyone a heart, and love... so we can all reach out to the ones in need..... And its not only the children, but its also the nursing homes filled with elderly people that no one goes to see.... ok, enough said....

mycattaz · 08-15-2007, 07:01 AM

Well I am down this Am

lost 2.6 lbs this Am.... got another .6 to go to be back to where I was when I started to gainin the other day..... I have been sticking with it... but really not eating much, just don't want anything.... I do eat breakfast in the morning... and I am not eating again till late in the day.... just not hungry, which is a good thing.....

yesterday, our uncle wanted to take us to Kentucky fried chicken.... for the buffet.... I got the two men to drop me off at the thriff stores to walk around.... found a old book by Stillman, it has all kinds of diets in it, that help you lose fast.... Also found the biggest loser book.....its about the diet and exercise plan.... I am a sucker when it comes to books....

today for me
Breakfast- 3 egg w/ ham cheese , coffee w/cream
Lunch= 2 boiled egg sf lemonade
Dinner- steak sf lemonade

exercise....

will be back later

Bug · 08-15-2007, 07:17 AM

mycattaz
I was on medications that did make me gain weight. The doctor took me off of those and put me on a new drug of 2 shots a day. The downside is those shots will make you

until your body gets used to them. The lower dosage took me about 2 weeks to get adjusted to. I just started the higher dosage last week so it's just taking time to mellow out. Until then, I stick it out and try to smile. It will get better and for the most part it has made me feel so much better!

mycattaz · 08-15-2007, 07:42 AM

Bugs

When I started taking my blood pressure med, they made me sick for about two weeks.... I didn't think it would ever end....

I am so glad you are feeling so much better... its tuff being on a diet and just not feeling good too... hang in there, it will pay off...

and one thing to remember when doing Atkins... even though the scales show no lost, it doesn't mean you arent losing fat.... if you are eating right sticking with the plan... and you are in ketosis, then you are losing fat... even when the scales show you are not...

even though the scales have been up for me the past few days, I feel skinner (lol, for a big 347 lbs woman....lol) so I know that I am still losing fat... just hanging on to water weight....

I will just have to wait till the morning. tick, tock, tick, tock. Jamie I cant wait to here how your first day goes. I cant wait to see all my school mom friends and see if anyone notices my 25 pounds. dream 26 years thats great. I dont know that many people who have made it that long. Its nice to know that people can stick it out. I love raising the kids but I already had my oldest son when we married and then we had one together , adopted one and are working on the last adoption in the cort system. I am curious to see what married life will be like with out the ankle bitters.( dont get me wrong I love my kids) We try and find time a couple times a year to have a date.

You’ve almost lost more in one month than I have in three months! Dream – Thanks so much for the kind words! I appreciate you! Bug – Not only do we have a really nice gym here at my complex, but we also have a lap pool. I just can’t seem to get down there. I think I would do much better with a treadmill in front of the TV! Jen – Congrats on catching the bouquet! Hope it holds true and you’re next! Kbetz – My problems sound trivial compared to yours! Maybe I’m getting old, but my patience for the little ones has diminished. I admire you. DMM – Hmmm…that makes sense. I haven’t cheated, but I’ve been so hungry. So I’m just eating more, and gained! Tannie – I’d better get busy, or you’re going to pass me up! Lisa – you’re such a sweetie! Thanks so much! If I call my daughter’s cell and she doesn’t answer for a couple of days, I leave her a voice mail that says that if she doesn’t call me back, then the money and the cell phone end. Amazing how quickly she calls back! Jamie – Wow! Your friends at school aren’t even going to recognize you! You’re doing terrific! Denise – Welcome back! You’ve been missed! Whew! I think that’s all the posts I missed. I was down 2 pounds this morning; just one more to get back to where I was before my stress gain. I’m so disappointed. I haven’t cheated (passed on cake and catered lunch), and yet I’ve gained. Oh well. I’ve wasted a whole week. Now it’s time to get busy again. I've made my way to the land of the spinning skirts! Now I’m headed to onederland! __________________ Penny

Maybe I’m getting old, but my patience for the little ones has diminished. I admire you. This made me laugh. I am careful about who I tell things to. I have found myself dumping on here alot, because I am such a stronger person in real life. ( not that this isnt real LOL) I had a nurse today tell me how much she thinks of my family and everything we do and have been threw. It always so strange to think that we have big issues. I always seem to find my self saying " well if this is the worse thing that happens then were doing Ok. God wont give me things that I cant handle. I think every one has there ups and down with struggles in life, so if you ever want to vent. I am great at listening/reading. I have learned to let things roll off my back.

Had one of those nights where life and family get to you. Went a little off plan last night and really paying the price in every way this morning. Didn't walk this morning either - I will definitely get that in tonight. I'm starting to take off Wednesday nights from my second job. Finally, a little peace in the middle of the week. Ya'll talked about the demon scale yesterday. I am so into weighing every morning. This morning - . I knew I would be up from last night. It just goes to show you that the so called little slips are not so little because you pay a BIG price! I'm still trying to get adjusted to one of my medicines so hopefully that will level out in another week. It is just so much stronger and the morning dosage is kicking me on my behinney! I feel so right now but I will work through it. I have a follow up tomorrow morning so we will discuss it with the doctor. My short term goal is just to get under 300 on the scale. I.will.do.it. I.will.not.give.up! Hope everryone has a wonderful day and I'll be thinking of you! __________________ 2008 - The year to get to goal!!

I still have a ways to go... just got to keep working at it Aggie- I love you too, I think you are the sweetest..... You have encourage me on her so many times.... And if you were here I would be lost.... Char you are so right, Life get to over complicated at times and we forget what is important..... there are so many Kids out there that just want alittle attention, to know someone cares.... to tellyou alittle story... my grandson called the other day he is only 6... he wanted to tell me he lost his first tooth.... he was so cute... He said grandma I lost a tooth and my mouth is bleeding.. And I said now you will have to stick it under the pillow for the tooth fairy to come and leave you some money.... He said ok and gave his phone back to his mom......lol.... My daugter, she is not prefect by no means, but when it comes to the kids she does special things, that I know they will remembe when they get older... They were going inside to make a pouch for the tooth to go in, color it really pretty( he is only 6) so the tooth fairy will love it and get it and give hims some money.... its not so much about the pouch or the money.... Its about making this little event in his life special.... something he will never forget.... so many kids out there never experience these little things, Mom and dad taking the time out to make a memory for them, maybe I should say a good memory for them..... ok enough said, I could start crying.... I just wish I could bring them all home with me and love them.... but that is why God gave everyone a heart, and love... so we can all reach out to the ones in need..... And its not only the children, but its also the nursing homes filled with elderly people that no one goes to see.... ok, enough said.... __________________ Weight changes Today 279.6 Last edited by mycattaz : 08-15-2007 at 06:55 AM.

Bug Blabbermouth!!! Join Date: Dec 2003 Location: South Posts: 6,690 Gallery: Bug Stats: so far -90 pounds! WOE: Low Carb/Healthy!	mycattaz I was on medications that did make me gain weight. The doctor took me off of those and put me on a new drug of 2 shots a day. The downside is those shots will make you until your body gets used to them. The lower dosage took me about 2 weeks to get adjusted to. I just started the higher dosage last week so it's just taking time to mellow out. Until then, I stick it out and try to smile. It will get better and for the most part it has made me feel so much better!

Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: alabama Posts: 4,479 Gallery: mycattaz Stats: 416/279.6/249 WOE: low carb	Bugs When I started taking my blood pressure med, they made me sick for about two weeks.... I didn't think it would ever end.... I am so glad you are feeling so much better... its tuff being on a diet and just not feeling good too... hang in there, it will pay off... and one thing to remember when doing Atkins... even though the scales show no lost, it doesn't mean you arent losing fat.... if you are eating right sticking with the plan... and you are in ketosis, then you are losing fat... even when the scales show you are not... even though the scales have been up for me the past few days, I feel skinner (lol, for a big 347 lbs woman....lol) so I know that I am still losing fat... just hanging on to water weight....
