I feel like today is already half over! I got up at 5 AM to run, because I had to be on a conference call at 6:30 AM with people in Hong Kong, India, and France.

Thanks for starting us on our August thread Cindy!!

HI Girls,
I am joining the frustration group!! I have been so strict on myself all week and I havent even dropped 1 pd since coming back from camping So much for making Onederland this week! Dang it.
I have a busy weekend coming up too, I have a friends bday party Friday night, went and bought myself a new outfit and am getting my hair done, its at a rock n roll bar that I have never been too, should be fun! Then Saturday is the river all day tanning with the girls, then camping Sat night with a huge group of people on private property, no more rangers kicking us out lol.
Anyway, We can do this ladies, despite being discouraged, I am not letting it get to me to the point where I eat off plan stuff, cause I know that will only make things worse!

I have been thinking about putting myself back out there in the dating world! Im still bummed out it didnt work out last time, but my friend told me dont frown because the next guy might miss your smile. Made sense to me, moving on!!

Chins up ladies, we can do this!!

HI Girls,
Am happy to report I am down another pd!! Getting closer to Onderland, but now the weekend is upon us!
Im going out for a friends bday party but I am eating dinner at home before I go and I plan to drink only a couple drinks, gonna have vodka and club soda and then put a crystal lite packet in it. I think as long as I stick to that, I should be ok!

Heres to a good weekend!!

[heahyou00]

Happy Monday!

Well I was able to maintain over the weekend, which was a good thing! Now back to the weight loss this week and Onederland here I come!! Just in time to leave for vacation on Saturday lol. If I can maintain during a whole week of camping that will be a miracle! I am going to try my best though.

I hit up Dani and Tina on FB and told them to get their butts back in here lol. Hopefully they will!

Im super busy at work this week because we have several folks out on vaca and I have to get my junk ready to leave as well.

Have a great week

Kelly

[Radmom413]

Good job Kelly!

I am just watching what I eat and the portions right now.
Once my life is back to normal - hoping after this week - I will get back to it!!!

[tinatina]

[Radmom413]

YAY! TINA!!!!

[heahyou00]

Tina!! Good to see you girl


Well I am down another pd, only 2 more to Onderland, dang that will feel good when I get there, but I am worried I will reach it just in time to leave for camping for a week. I want to challenge myself while gone camping to be able to maintain whatever weight I have gotten to by then! I think I can do it, I talked to my friend that is going and we talked about going on hikes and stuff while we are there instead of just sitting around camp all day, so we can burn off some of what we eat. So we will see how this pans out lol.


The menu is all planned out for camping and I think on the big meals if I just skip the carby side dishes I should be good! A lot of the bfast stuff I cant have, so I think in order to combat that I need to bring my own stuff for bfast to eat seperate from everyone else, but I cant really handle yogurt everyday, so need to come up with an alternative. I guess I could bring my little stove and make msyelf eggs and sausage to eat.

We will see!!

Todays menu:

b- cheesecake fluff
s- none
l- chicken stir fry
s- string cheese
d- Chef Salad

[tinatina]

Morning Vets!

I missed everyone!

Still lots going on here! DH's mom is finally home. They had to take some fingers and most of her toes, but she home and seems to be in good spirits. Then his dad had a stroke last week. It's very hard that they moved so far away from family.

I'm hoping that I am finally getting my act back together after a 6 month ish eating frenzy.

Glad to be back at the beach.

[heahyou00]

Welcome back Tina!! Have you stepped on the scales to see what the damage is? I always hate doing that when you see how much you have sliden backwards in the wrong direction. I kick myself, but it feels good to get back on track.

Im on the verge of hitting Onederland, which I dont know how many times I have done over the years lol. Wish it could be for good someday!!


Anyway, I have a doc appt today, not looking forward to it, more feminine junk, Im prob gonna be super sore again which means no working out.

I have to do my shopping for camping tomorrow after work and then leaving on Saturday for a week, looking forward to the break from everyday life.

Here is todays menu:

b- Cheesecake fluff w/fresh berries
s- none
l- chef salad
s- string cheese
d- Crackslaw

[Radmom413]

Tina - I hear ya - my Mom has had health issues since mid june and everything went haywire in my life. Today she got out of rehab(for a stroke) and she and my Dad headed home - he had been staying here with us for the three weeks.

I need to do some good grocery shopping and get back on track!

Have a good vacation Kelly!
I am off tomorrow and am so excited!

[tinatina]

Morning Ladies!

kel - I was up to 215 as of this morning I am at 202. Not good, but at least I'm losing! Hope your Dr. appt went well.

between DH family's health issue and my thyroid I just gave up. I'm in the middle of more thyroid testing right now. The last test was 18 and normal is 3 to .3 More bloodwork in a week or so. It SHOULD NOT be so easy to gain so much weight in such a short time.

Cindy - Glad to hear your mom got to go home!

Heading back to work! Have a great day beachers!

[Shalbrihil]

Hi Ladies!

I'm back and had a wonderful time. I just hated to leave those woods. So peaceful and beautiful. Spent yesterday getting everything unpacked and clothes washed. Did some shopping to restock the kitchen and now things look pretty much back to normal.

Cindy, I'm so glad to hear your Mom is out of rehab and back home. Bet your glad to have your space to yourself once again.

Kelly, glad to read your are on top of your plan and close to onderland. It's going to stick this time I just know it.

Tina, I'm new good to meet you!

As for me I'm just not ready to see the old scale yet. I feel by my clothes that I didn't do to much damage.

See you tomorrow teachers.

[heahyou00]

Hi Girls,
My last check in before vacation and I was at 200 this morning lol. Hopefully I will see Onederland on the scale tomorrow morning when I wake up, we shall see!!

I was in so much pain when I got home from my doc appt yesterday that I ate some choc cake, but guess I didnt do to much damage since I still lost!

Anyway, I plan to have a good time with the boys and get lots of sun and relaxation.

Here is todays menu

b- cheesecake fluff w/fresh berries
s- none
l- bourbon chicken over steamed veggies
s- none
d- taco salad

[Shalbrihil]

Hope everybody is having a great weekend. Just a quick pop in.

[Radmom413]

New week tomorrow - who's in with me back on plan?

[tinatina]

Morning Beachers!

Kel - I am .6 from hitting wonderland myself. Hard to believe that last years at this time I weighed 150!

Cindy - I'm in and ON PLAN!

Have a great Monday girls!

[Shalbrihil]

So far a good start. But of course I've just had breakfast of eggs and tomato chunks. We'll just have to see how the rest of the day goes. At least the graham crackers are gone and the dark chocolate peanut butter cups are gone too. Bad night!

Staying positive today.

[tinatina]

200.0 even this morning!

Still doing good.

Football scrimmage on Thursday. Highschool football season is about to begin. I got lots of planning to do to keep myself on track. Those dang swedish fish just CALL to me at those games.

[wiz]

Hello all!!

Tina, woo hoo!! You are back!! We missed you

We had a super vacation: it was a little bit of everything. 2 nights in NYC, 2 nights in Saratoga Springs, NY and then back home to hit the beach.

And believe it or not, I didn't gain any weight. I was SO shocked when I got on the scale. But, while I did eat more grains (and yeah, some potato chips one night ) than usual - I didn't have any sweets. We were also super active with lots of walking, biking, and riding waves. And we didn't really snack.

Sharon, sounds like you had a good week too!!

OK, count me in on the family health stress thing. My MiL is not doing well. It seems that every day she is doing a bit worse. I do not have a good feeling about how quickly her health is declining.

Well, gang, it stinks to be back at work, but I always welcome getting back into my routine.

Let's close out this summer with a bang - I'm feeling highly motivated!!

[Shalbrihil]

Sorry Wiz about your Mom. Old age really sucks! I have my up and down days at 67. So nice to see you had a great time and without gaining wt. It can be done. I'm still having trouble finding my mojo. Had a good start today though. Will do my best to keep it going.

Tina your so close to onderland. KUTGW and you will be on the other side.

Have a nice day beachers!

[wiz]

Hey gang,

Things have rapidly gone downhill with my MiL. Without going into a ton of detail, it turns out she has an untreatable case of lung cancer. It explains all the weightloss, breathing issues, low energy levels, etc. We are bringing her home and have engaged hospice.

We are just devastated - she is a wonderful woman who has courageously battled Wegener's Disease, Bacterial Meningitis, coma, paralysis, dialysis, kidney transplant and a stroke in the last 15 years. We got used to thinking she was indestructible.

I'm trying to keep my eating regimen clean, but I already fell off that wagon last night. By the time we left the hospital it was late, and we ended up splitting a nacho platter due to extreme hunger (and sadness.)

Please keep my MiL in your prayers. We need them all...

[Radmom413]

Thoughts and prayers Wiz!
