Losing 100 lbs by November - July! Freedom From Fat Month!

[Gypsy_125]

Congrats on loss, Sails, you deserve it!

And Jenn, that puppy is soooo cute.

So far I've lost 6lbs on induction...I have had a couple "cheats", but they were only with fruit!! I think I'm taking in way too much sodium though, I could probably have lost 2-3 more lbs if I cut out salt.


Zoo? In Texas weather? You ladies are strong!! The worst part of my day is walking from the house to the car, and from the car to work. I finally miss the good ol' Phildelphia "heat waves".

Jenn, thanks for the laugh. Sounds like nice neighbors. Mine are the kind who wake me up nearly every Friday and Saturday night when their partying gets too loud.... now keep in mind this is a couple who have three children --- the youngest child is just barely a year old. On July 4/5 in the am hours -- close to 3 am, I was awakened by fireworks being set off right outside my bedroom window. Lovely lovely lovely neighbors.

Well Divas, I have officially entered Onderland -- just barely, but I am there. Now I am more determined than ever to get to 140-145 ish. Hopefully by the end of the year, but if it is next year, that is fine too.

Have a great week Divas!!

CONGRATULATIONS Gysy_125 on your loss....I know about salt intake, because I have high blood pressure and so I'm always mindful of it...This is why I try to stay away from the processed foods because they are packed with sodium.....wish you continued success in reaching your goals.

Been busy the past few days but glad that y'all are doing great. Jenn, can't wait to see pictures of that pup!

Y'all keep up the good work and be strong through the weekend!

[sails92]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Peachey on dropping those 2lbs.....I'm also battling in trying to stay cheat free because my hubby is on vacation this week and he eats everything - LOL.....so at times the things he eats can be tempting, but coming here to read everyone's posts keeps me strong......I'm wishing you continual success in staying cheat free and reaching your desired goal.

I have a lot of people at my job who have been asking questions about my weight loss, watching me eat, trying to offer things that are not on my list of things to eat like SUGARY TREATS oh and they say one bite cant hurt ya. This one lady even made my favorite sweet potato pie I told her no thanks and she had the nerve to act mad ... Anyway my eating has been great this week and finally the scale has moved since my beach fiasco I weighed this morning and I am down to 237 thats 2 pounds down from my previous weight before the trip... Those cheats are so not worth it , but I'm over it and I wanna stay cheat free for the rest of the month ..

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND DIVAS

Jennbaker that was funny!!!!!!

But I found this to be very sweet b/c I know I am the crazy neighbor. This is due to an incident involving being ambushed by a stink bug after a long day of work... there was a lot of screaming, cussing, victory dancing and threats to the rest of the stink bugs family if they even CONSIDERED getting revenge.

THEN I remembered I have neighbors. I stopped my victory dance on the front deck, slowly turned toward their house and they were both on their front porch, wide eyed. I smiled uncomfortably, I'm sure I blushed, then I very quietly grabbed my purse and shoe and went in the house.

Needless to say I think they think I'm crazy. Which I am, yeah, but I'm not the dangerous bad kind of crazy.

So for them to come over and offer me some good yummy meats off the grill, well, that was just really awesome of them.

I think I really should bake them a cake. I've been thinking about it since we moved in (2 years ago!). I hope they aren't diabetic!!!

[i.am.jenn]

Fancy: you've made it! congrats!!! I'm sooo happy for you.

Gypsy: Sodium really sneaks up on you. I try to eat more whole foods so I have a little more control over sodium. No idea if high amounts affect me, but, it's just a definite perk.

The scale said 262.4 this morning. I weighed myself 3 different times this morning to make sure... sooo, I guess I'm doing things right now. I am not eating to my BMR but I have increased my calories by: 1 meal with beef (and salad/vegetable) and 1 meal with chicken (and salad/vegetable) and at least one snack (usually an ounce of nuts).

Yesterday I was SOOOO busy that my legs were exhausted by 7:00 pm. I mean, they HURT! I got my shelves stained and put on the entertainment center, I alphabetized the DVD collection, I swept the downstairs (twice), swiffered, mopped, I cleaned the kitchen... man, I was on FIRE! (and I think I almost burned the house down but luckily I checked on it before there were any problems! hee hee hee). So my house is clean, the dogs here are my own (and I came sooo close to keeping that Bonsai 2.0 beagle pup. I just adore her!!!). All in all I'm ready for the chaos that is the next 5 weeks of class.

Oh this is funny! DH called me a few times yesterday and I kept telling him that I spent all day on the internet and didn't get diddly sqaut done around the house. He was REALLY disappointed in me. Until he got home and I was like "TA DAA! WIFEY ROCKS!" and yeah... he was surprised!!!

[ChaiLatté]

YAY Fancy!!!! Onederland! :-) I am SO happy for you! Your goal is just around the corner now!

So, Hi! I am back from vacation! I had a fabulous time. I ate more carbs each day, but also ate less food.. so I some how evened out, because I lost 1.3lbs anyway!
So nice! Happy Monday everybody!

[Meg056]

Fancyface! You made it there! ONEDERLAND! Great job. You're an inspiration to the rest of us,too!

Jenn...Chai..Congrats on the decreasing numbers on the scale

I'm still in the same spot and holding but going lower soon.

[Meg056]

Sails...it will come off but I know the waiting is hard and also the bouncing scale.

Gypsy...Congrats on the induction loss. 6 pounds is good! Usually take me a couple months to get that much off.

[Jennifer]

This hasn't been the best week eating wise- cappuccinos, frappuccinos, s/f ice cream bars, chips, too many cocoa roasted almonds. I really need to break my Starbucks habit. I've been eating cherries like they're going out of style, but I'm not going to let myself feel bad about something healthy that I only eat once a year. They're carby little suckers though- 1 carb each!

Going to see George Michael tonight!

Jenn - Please send that pupper to me immediately! kthnxbai

fancyface!!!!

[Meg056]

Hey Jennifer...Good to see you. Yeah cherries are a good 'cheat'. I had one of those little boxes of raisins last nite. I see that as a healthy cheat. Don't tell no one, K?

Everyone else...keep up the good work!

I'll try to pop in tonite and read more/post more..it's hard to do at work!

[Gypsy_125]

Thanks for the congrats, Ladies.


Fancy, congrats on wonderland!!!

Sails, good luck on the week vacation. It can definately be tough. But hopefully you can find healthier alternatives to what he's eating, that way you're not "left out"...but luckily it's only a week

[i.am.jenn]

Dropping to explain to future lack of me (so you don't worry)

LONG story short, classes started last Tuesday. I thought they started today. I'm in deep, deep trouble and I've gotta study my way out.

No free time, will miss you lots and probably check in Thursday afternoon or Friday.

[Gypsy_125]

Oh no, Jenn...wish you lots of luck!!

[fancyface]

Hi Divas! Thanks so much!

Jenn, my thoughts are with you as you get caught up.

Gotta run... got some eggs boiling and some laundry to switch. Have a wonderful week.

FF

[Meg056]

Oh no Jenn! That sounds like a nightmare come true. Best of luck with that situation for sure.

As for myself I'm still livin' the low carb life here in TX...stayin' strong 'til whoosh time.

[ChaiLatté]

So, I'm still not really losing. I really need to up my exercise like crazy. And I need to try and get my coconut oil in! But I just can't seem to figure out how to work into my day.. I don't like it in drinks, its just.. oil floating on top! blech :-( And coconut/chocolate bark is pretty nasty. I try to cook in it, when I can.. but I actually don't even cook very much!

Anyone have any suggestions, short of just eating it by the spoonful? (I tried this too, I like the flavor and all, but its like eating crisco! makes me immediately nauseous)

[SUNSHINELADY]

Just checking in with you all. On vacation since this past Thursday until next Tuesday and loving it. Went and say REO Friday night at our local Riverfest, and Joan Jett Saturday night and a Brewer game Sunday. Heading to the Wisconsin Dells tomorrow for a couple days, but I just wanted to let you know I haven't fallen off the wagon.

Jenn, good luck getting caught up. I know you will do it in no time, you are hard on yourself.

Fancy, WOW! I am sooooo happy for you. Been on this board with you your whole trip and you are one of the better disiplined losers. NICE JOB. WHAT AND ACCOMPLISMENT IN SUCH A SHORT TIME!

Chai, I never ask, but what exactly does the coconut oil do? Bathroom issues? Aid in losing? I was wondering why some use it.

Magic, Cara, Heather Mask.....where are ya?

Have a nice week everyone. I hope to stay as close to plan as possible. Not too good Friday and Saturday, but doing good since. Grilled ribeyes last night, chicken breast tonight. I took a bite of my hubs baked potato, but one bite was enought to tell me it was too good to cheat again.
