*** Losing 100 lbs in 2007***

sorry girls...

[Dreamcometru]

[COLOR=seagreen]Ahhhh, here we go, back in the month of August.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=seagreen]Lisa: Thanks for the encouraging words. You are always so sweet. I hope it is muscle. I thought I would pour on the exercise to see if that would jumpstart my losses again. Last time I lost, I had switched up the type of exercise I was doing. So hopefully, this time it will work too. Have a wonderful vaca.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=seagreen]Divine: Thanks too. I can definitely get around the track in good time. But you will laugh, Saturday, I had to walk home from the auto shop. I dropped DS's car off to be repaired (he's 15, due to get his license in October so we bought him a beater to drive, but it needs some mechanical attention). Anyway, I jogged part of it and stopped by the track on my way home. I thought oh, I can jog at least once around. Ha, I jogged the straight stretches and walked the curves. I could no more jog around the whole thing than santa clause. It was hillarious I was so out of breath. I'm going to work on it though. I don't want to run marathons or anything, but would like to be able to jog again. Since I'm not bouncing up and down as much, I feel like I can. Before, I was flopping all over the place.[/COLOR]

Bug I carried this over from the old thread to make sure you see it.

Hmmm, what can I do with this? I will join you in looseing 30# in 12 weeks. That means my average is 2.5 pounds per week, but I will look at the big picture of 30 gone in 12 weeks. Monthly hormones fleuctates my loss. I will be 222 in 12 weeks. So would that be Saturday,Nov 10?

I am going to change my signture so that it reflect this.

dream, when I exercise, I don't lose as fast... but we all need to execise... it not only makes us feel better, but it tones us up.... You have lost 73.6 lbs since november... that is nothing to take lightly... YOu really need to focus on more on what you have achieved.... YOU know alot of people never make it pass week one... and here it is August and you are still working at it.....

In your stats it says " ON my way. NEver looking back!" I like that..... we all need to take it one day at a time..... one meal at a time.... if you goof, which if you are like me, I do.... then don't look back... not even for a second, but keep reaching for your goals... YOu will achieve them.... I know you will

[mycattaz]

sorry girls about the goof up.... If it hadn't been for divine pointing it out to me, I would have never known it...lol...

[kbetz0419]

Dream I can relate to the floping thing. I have to learned to wear a good sprots bra, if I want to challenge the kids in a backyard run.


I have decided that I am 28 and I am going to act it. I have no medical problems. Alledgely I have rumitoid arthritus, but I only test at a 24. 20 is the norm. The pains come and go. Mostly likely early onset. Any way I dont care how I look when I move and groove with the kids. Its hard to hate exercise when you are doing it with your kids. They laugh with you, not at you. Ok well the kids are done practicing there school work so I am off to be a kid again.

30 lbs sound reasonable to do in 12 weeks... I'm in....
are you going to do it here or start a new thread.... I like the title you have now... Losing it with bugs....

[thewhitehouse]

Hello to All. Hope everyone had a good weekend! I really like this site, but I must know, what is a WHOOSH OR SWOOSH OR anything else that rhymes with OOSH?

Tiffani

[thewhitehouse]

I have a goal of being 225 by Thanksgiving. Which would be 42 pounds for me. So...It is so close to your 30 that I will say I want to lose 30 by Nov. 10 or 14 or whatever the date is....count me in!!

I have maintained today from yesterday...but I FINALLY had a bm. Looking forward to the scale tomorrow. I am still waiting to start my monthly cycle...and waiting and waiting. From what I understand the LC can throw it off, right?

This Friday will be four weeks of LC and Curves for me. I am getting measured and weighed. Can't wait to see what my BMI is. It really scared me when I saw how high it was 4 weeks ago.

Im not the greatest with navagatng yet, so I am fine with here. I like posting here so I will just track mine threw my signuture portion. Every one can see it there. What do you guys think? We are already in a looseing 100 challenge thread. Why not have a mini challenge with in?
Bug I hope you dont mind us useing your name. It just sounds like the weight is crawling off of us. I suppose you could also think of the bug as extra protein. LOL

[thewhitehouse]

Mycattaz- congrats on the 1.5. Feels good after a weekend, ay? Now we can lose 30 more by Nov. ? sounds almost onederful to me!! Getting closer to goals. Have fun in Gatlingburg. I have never been there but friends of mine go there a lot and absolutely love it. Have a nice relaxing well deserved time.


Kbetz- I remember that feeling. I didn't like it either. Now I don't have to go through it!! Public school started here today and all the kids and I went shopping for a looooong time today. Almost every where we went they got asked about not being in school. I think next time I will put signs on their backs. Will your youngest two be home?

BUG- WTG!! That is awesome. It is so motivating to the rest of us. BTW count me in at 30 my nov. something. Did you say you are trying to lose 60 by then? either way, I you can do it!! I started LCing and exercising on July 27 and have dropped 28 pounds!! I know it will start getting slower now, but I am just so happy to lose that much. I am relying on God to keep me going. I like the "Losing it with Bug" theme!!

Divine Miss M- I admire you. You are so courageous. You will win this battle for sure. Good things are worth fighting for, ay? What is Lyle's Rapid Fat Loss? Please someone, explain a whoosh!!

Christy- I read the recipe for the ice cream and it sounds so good. That is why I will not be making it...lol. I do not want to open up the sweet eating beast in me. I LOVE SUGAR AND CHOCOLATE!! Haven't had any since...
But, I'd rather be thin than eat it.

Char- congrats on loss!!!! WTG!!

Dream- you already lost 70 some pounds, that is awesome. That is incredible. That is such a motivatation for the rest of us. You will get past the plateau. Stay strong and be patient. Just keep doing the right things. Your body probably is not use to being that small and wants to hang on to some reserve incase it is going to starve. You could also change your eating for a week or so or start another diet regimine like weight watchers or something.

A swoosh , woosh or wooshi. is when the magical woosh fairy sneaks into your room at night and wooshes the pounds away. It is usually a bit more than normal. Some say it is an expected weight drop and others use it for each drop. Its kind of like the tooth fairy, but way better benifits.I have a jar under my pillow where I have been trying to catch her and keep her in it for a few months. This may be why she hasnt visited me in a while. I'll let her go if she is good little fairy.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Hello everyone. Just a quick check-in for me. The drama continues. My car is still not fixed (I'm on the way to take it back for the third time), I went to two doctors and the dentist on Friday. I've never had a shot right into my elbow! That was strange, and painful! The dentist started a root canal, and stopped and said that I needed to take an antibiotic for a week before he could continue. The vicodin was nice for the pain, but I can't take it at work, so I'm miserable!

The scales hit the 25 pounds lost mark yesterday. I know that may seem like nothing to y'all, but to me, it's really something. My goal was to lose 25 pounds before my daughter started back to school, and she starts next Monday, so I actually accomplished my goal! I wish I could lose more and faster like all of you, but I guess I'll have to settle for what I can get. I guess those of you doing the 30 in 12 weeks will have to do it without me, because it took me 15 weeks to lose 25. But I'll see what I can do. I switched from Kimkins back to low carbing because all of this stress was making me b*tchy. Funny how I started to lose again! The parking garage at my latest assignment has no elevator, so I'm walking 5 flights of stairs twice a day, in addition to all the walking that I'm doing around the building. I didn't measure when I started, but some of my skirts are so big that I'm going to have to stop wearing them now, and it's kinda nice to wear shorts that are loose now that I used to have to lay on the bed to zip up!

My boyfriend continues to eat BAD things, and all it does is encourage me to stay on plan! Saturday we had Mexican. I ordered grilled chicken and vegetables, and balanced my checkbook until my food came where I wouldn't be tempted by the chips! Yesterday morning he got up and made himself waffles, and cleared away all of the evidence before I got up!

Hopefully I'll get a chance to stop in later. Hope you all are doing well![/COLOR]

[kbetz0419]

Tiffani- good luck at curves

the white house- No I will be sending my kindergartener, 2nd grader and preschooler all on diffrent days for starting. 8y/o will start tomarrow. My 5 Y/0 will go for orentation in the AM with me tommarrow. My 3 Y/O will start next week. Many people might be asking why I am sending my 3YO if I am haveing a hard time. As some of you know he is adopted and had a really rough start in life. He is theraphies and we have been told that he may have a chance at being mainstraemed threw school. When we adopted him the social workers said to just enroll him a MRDD school. I wont give up. He has the fight and desire to learn. He is going to go one year and see how things go , he may transfere out next year. I think he can do it. He will be in a specal ed Preschool class room. I will have only one of my babys home in the morning 4 days a week.
Well ladies I would love to spend more time responding to everyones post but we need to go to meet the teacher night. I did read everything and I wish everyone well.
PS have the tissues ready in the morn.

Poor aggie - YIPPPPPY

[kbetz0419]

We went to the meet your teacher night tonight it was nice. We went around 2 times so the 3 kids could see there class rooms enough. My 1 Y/O threw a fit anytime we picked him up. He is walking much better now and wants to show it off. He is such a little man. The boys were all wearing jeans and polo shirts, and DD had on jeans and a dress shirt. They were adorable. We took them to dinner at pizza hut for one last her ah! ( I had salad). I think I am ready for school. My oldest sons teacher is about my age and I think she will be great.Last year the teacher was pushing 70( no disrepect, but her ideas where not the same as mine) My son thinks she is pretty. My daughter will have a nice teacher and the same aid that my oldest had when he was in kindergarten. My 3 YO will have the teacher that my oldestson role modeled for when he was in preschool. It should be a great year. Now I need to get threw my 3 Y/O surgery on friday and my 1 Y/O next thursday. The 3 just had a diffrent surgery 2 weeks ago. As soon as everyone is healthy again I am going to spend some serious time on me. Well I guess I better get to bed. I am still not sleeping as much as I would like to.

[thewhitehouse]

Hey...OK thanks for the info about the whoosh fairy. Now that I know, I will expect her more often. But...I have one more question, DH? Is that DEAR husband or DESIGNATED husband or DYNOMITE husband...seriously...what does it stand for?

I guess we are looking at Saturdays. If you want to, you can just make a thing in your signature to track it. We are just calling it Losing it with bugs, or something along the bug line so we see it is the 12 week challenge. Dead line of Nov10. ( and the rest of our lives of LC eating) Im not great at tracking everything so if some one wants to do an offical track for us based on saturdays thats great, or we can just watch the signatures and cheer from there. Either way is Ok by me.

I have been sneaking little cheats for the last 3 days. I need to get my booty in gear.

[Bug]

Aww - ya'll are so sweet
I was so busy working yesterday afternoon that I didn't get a chance to check back in. Ya'll are so sweet in making me feel so wanted here Ya'll have faith in me and *I* have faith in YOU! These 12 weeks - WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Okay - who exercised so far today? I woke up late but I still got 1 mile in on the treadmill before coming to work. It hurt and I was half asleep but I did it! LOL
Trying to eat really good!
