Lizett · 11-01-2004, 09:40 AM

Good Morning Queens

Well i didnt do to bad on halloween. I did have a bit of chocolate and a pastry

that only my mom knows how to make in our family! So yes it kicked me out of ketosis

but its november so now im back on my feet and now i can lose the last few pounds!

My goals for November are:

1.Exercise atleast 3 times a week, 45 mins each time.
2. Eat healthy! more veggies and less low carb goodies!
3. Believe in myself that i am one SEXY MAMA!!!!

4. Lose hopefully 5 pounds by 1 st december!

DEB: We are in the same boat when it comes to weightloss. I havent moved in awhile. And now gym scale is busted and apparently the weight is wrong so i stick to my home scale, 170

but all we have to remember is how far we have come

and i know its not enough because we want to lose the last few pounds. so lets just stick together deb

?????

VICKY: Whats your secret????? I wanna be just like you

WELCOME BACK, WELCOME BACK, WELCOME BACK, WELCOME BACK. I HAVE THE MASE SONG PLAYING IN MY HEAD.

i have been missing way too long. vacation was great though. wasnt a vacation i had to work most of the time. learned that i'm very lucky to have the managers work for me who do, LOL. life is good in south dakota. I'm actually at a hotel now because i was too tired to drive home. before i pass out i was like i better get in here and post or someone will shoot me. took jay trick or treating, i have tons of pics i will post.

i also see that vic posted the chicago pics. the lunch was great. i loved getting together with vic and tammie. as you can see they are getting all skinny and pushing me to move foward.

current weight is 225, i think tammie posted weight for me. i had a bad scale. not digital so it was off by 5lbs. i dont have 8lb loss, sorry, but i do have three. i'm ok with three. i'll be at 220 in a couple of weeks.

November Goals

1. Run a mile non-stop

2. Teach Tammie to ride a bike

3. Get into the teens 219, 218, any of them.

4. Buy some pants that fit, mine are doing the butt sag.

Well I have to get out of here before i fall asleep at the computer. I will chat with you all tomorrow, oh and before i forget.

VOTE OR DIE!!!!!!!!!

mylittleangel · 11-02-2004, 06:40 AM

Hey queens..Hope you all make the time to go out and vote...

I was MIA yesterday...I went and bought myself some smaller jeans

Yippy skippy..I got to buy 13-14's for the first time since my 12 year old was born

(me doin' the happy dance)

Marvelous Monday
1) Run 1 mile continuous
2) Learn how to ride a bike and enjoy it (thanks Machon

)
3) Teach Machon how to go for a walk (no Taebo included)
4)Figure out how to stick to a budget (not that I didn't like to shop before...but getting smaller it is really hard to stay away from the mall)
5)Get to 189...It will feel so much further from 200

6) Have a healthy and thoughtful thanksgiving
7) Actually get my Christmas shopping started early for once

8) Exercise 5 times a week...make sure it is varried

9)Finish Remodling my kitchen...(guess I have to start first)
10) Get the mountain of stuff in this room listed on ebay..finally

So there it is that is my list of goals for the month.

I'm gonna go run...Literally...so I will chat with you queens later

cutevic · 11-02-2004, 09:26 AM

I'm so glad to see so many of the Queens posting. I was beginning to get worried about you ladies. It's good to know that everyone is doing well.

I haven't done my exercises yet. I will soon. I plan on drinking 120oz. of water today. I got an early start today.

Deb I'm so sorry to hear that there was a death in your family. You have my deepest sympathies.

I'm sure that by journaling your food, you will begin to notice a difference.

Tammie congrats on the 13-14's. I'm doing the happy dance with you.

Machon I'm glad you're back. I'm glad the you got to spend some time with Jay and your family. I can't wait to see the pics of Jay.

Renee (75) I'm so proud of your for sticking to your guns and resisting temtation. KUTGW

Renee you did a great job staying on plan. You should be so proud of yourself. I know I am.

Lizett I'm sure the pastry didn't do any damage, because you're at the stage in your weightloss, where you can do that from time to time. Just as long as you don't go overboard. Which I don't think you have a problem with that.

Well Queens, I'm going to get dressed and go to vote. Make sure that you get out and vote Queens. Remember every vote counts.

Have a great day Queens.

Lizett · 11-02-2004, 09:44 AM

Well im proud of myself, Yesterday i actually ate really low carbs about 10 carbs

And drank 80oz of water !!!!! i will weight in tomorrow morning and let you all know how im doing. Right now im eating lc pancakes and bacon mmmmm only 5 carbs for a huge amount of pancakes

I also made lc pasta and alfredo sauce w/ veggies and shrimp for dinner!

Talk to you all soon!

PS I exercised 3 times last week 45 mins each time...i couldn't go yesterday or today because im working both jobs

Have a great one

mzfpg · 11-02-2004, 10:16 AM

Ok i'm here to talk about myself, LOL. I didnt have time for a long post before but i have some stuff to tell you. I went home as you know and everyone was like my boobs look bigger and my butt looks bigger. i told them no their not bigger my body is just smaller, LOL. all the fat is not covering the stuff up.

Here is another thing. not one but two people called me beautiful. Now you all know my self esteem is through the roof but i've never been called beautiful. And of all the people who said it my granny said it. That meant the world to me. That alone made all this worth it. Oh and last thing. My aunt told me that I will be replacing queen latifah pretty soon is commercials, LOL. Why am I telling you all this. Other than the fact that I'm happy. Basically I noticed the different words people use when you get skinny. You go from being pretty to beautiful, you go from being nice to being sexy. you turn into a model instead of being smart, LOL. now i like all the rest of the compliments from before but just realizing how people change has been the biggest change.

Oh last thing. I noticed I have high cheek bones. Well actually my son's dad noticed. crazy all the stuff that is starting to happen.

well i will be back later chicks. I have to go vote.

Oh and crazy girl lizett. nomatter what the scale says you need to start looking at yourself. do you like yourself. the scale may read 200, but if you look good at 200 then let it be. your weight is not going to matter if you dont like yourself. we can only tell you how good you look so many times. you need to start believing it.

mzfpg · 11-02-2004, 10:35 AM

OH BY THE WAY, LOL. I ACCOMPLISHED MY GOAL AND GOT MYSELF A NEW BANNER. 40LBS LOSS SO FAR

mytie123 · 11-02-2004, 10:41 AM

My goal for the Month of November.

1. Be good to my self, don't beat myself up because I sliped up on something. Tell my self I am worth every minute of it.

2. Exercise at least 3x a week.

3. Do my best at drinking more water.

4. Eat healthier.

Well ladies it has been a hard week for me. I have been emotionally drain, but I haven't let it get to me like I use too. I worked graveyards last night and I was so tired this morning. I didn't want to go to exercise, but I did. I swam 26 laps in the pool. I feel so much better now that I did do it.

Well everyone have a great day I am going to shave my legs and then I am going to go to bed. I work graves again tonight.

going_down · 11-02-2004, 02:42 PM

Afternoon my fellow queens.

I was out yesterday. I had a wisdom tooth pulled. I went to work this morning and was sent home. I am at the library after sleeping all day. I did manage to vote today.

Today is my weigh in day. I am happy to say I am down 4 pounds. I got a 3 pound last night after not being able to eat anything but yogurt and scrambled eggs. Same thing I am eating today. I got a new banner too. 110 pound club - actually I have 111 pounds gone forever.

I have to think on my goals for the month. Weighloss wise I have the same. I try not to set any # goals. I do have some personal things I need to work on.

Machon - Congrats and

to the 40 Pound Club!!!!

It's good to have you back on the boards.

Every has some inspiring goals for this month. I don't have time to respond to everyone, but will be back tomorrow.

mylittleangel · 11-02-2004, 03:09 PM

Hey all..Have you gotten out to vote...I did...hope you all make time for that too..as Vicki said every vote counts.
I too am glad to see more queens on here. It is much better when more people post.

Deb I too am very sorry to hear that you had a death in the family. I know how extremly difficult that is and my thoughts and prayers are with you

Liz make sure not to cut your carbs too low. I know that I found in doing that it was just like being on a low cal diet and not eating enough calories....Less isn't always better. Just be careful I know I got in that loop for a while and the results where the opposite of what I wanted. I hope that you realize how beautiful you are...I know that isn't always easy to do and sometimes your brain takes a while to catch up to what your body looks like...but I figure if we tell you again and again and again eveventually it will get through and you will go oh yeah

duh I really am beautiful sexy strong queen.

Machon I am glad that you made it home safely and everything is going well...Can't wait till Friday

Well Queens...Happy day...look forward to seeing you all tomorrow for weigh in wednesday

mzfpg · 11-02-2004, 07:24 PM

I'm glad so many people posted about some things other than weight. funny thing i thought of with this post was my new years resolution, LOL. i know thinking ahead. but the thing is i think for the first time I wont be putting wieght on there. I always write that I want to lose weight. I looked at some of the previous years and i simply gained weight throughout the year.

claritta- glad to see your doing well. take care of yourself. a tooth is a big deal, i dont know if i would be travelling around after i had a tooth pulled. maybe because i'm a big chicken.

Tammie- get you bike and your shoes ready. this will not be a party weekend. you will work out harder than you ever have. remember when people use to come and visit and you would think, what am i going to cook, LOL. i'm thinking how can we fit in working out and shopping, LOL.

Vic- you are really doing well. I know for a moment you were stalled but you make it though. now your getting all skinny i'm going to have to watch out for you.

Terry- glad to see you back. your looking good too. i thing your #1 goal is the best i've read. putting yourself first, love it.

jerae_12321 · 11-02-2004, 11:12 PM

Hi all!! I'm starting this WOE for what seems like the millionth time and hope to stick with it. I came to this site looking for motivation and got just that plus more. I think it's wonderful how all of you have posted your goals for everyone to see. Here are my goals for the month of November. I wish the best of luck to all of you!!!!

Goals

1. No Cheating!!!!

2. Exercise 4X week.

3. Lose 8 lbs.

cutevic · 11-02-2004, 11:44 PM

Queen Jerae !!!

I'm glad that you joined us. This is a great place to be for motivation and support. For giving as well as receiving. One key to succeeding in this woe/wol is being accountable. We've found that by posting everyday or as much as possible keeps us on track. We post about our losses and our gains. Basically, anything that's going on in our lives, because at some point our emotions leads us to food.

You can do it. It all depends on how bad do you want it. We're here for you every step of the way.

I look forward to getting to know you better. So jump right in and make yourself at home.

wigglebutt · 11-03-2004, 05:24 AM

QUEEN JERAE

WELL MORNING QUEENS, I HOPE EVERYONE WILL HAVE A GREAT DAY, IT IS RAINY HERE.STILL WARM NO COLD WEATHER YET.. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

NO NEWS HERE, NO LOST HERE . I AM STILL THE SAME.. BUT CONGRATS TO ALL THE LOOSER AND MAINTAINERS TODAY..

I AM DOING THE HAPPY DANCE FOR YOU ALL....

JERAE, JUMP RIGHT IN HERE, POSTED AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, SO WE CAN GET TO KNOW YOU. STAY FOCUS, AND STRONG.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.

LATER DEB

crzfx4 · 11-03-2004, 06:30 AM

QUEEN JERAE

TO OUR HUMBLE HOME......

Well today is weigh in day and still no changes for me but watch out when they do..woooo hoooo

DEB.... you have my deepest sympathy my thought are with you....

To all the losers and mainteners today

keep up the good job....

cutevic · 11-03-2004, 06:38 AM

GOOD MORNING QUEENS

I'm down 1 lb. That brings me to 265. Five more and I'll get a new banner.

Claritta congrats on the 4 lbs.

You're just melting away. Good job.

Terry 26 laps is awesome. KUTGW

I hope your week gets much better. Hang in there.

Machon Congratulations on being in the 40 LB. CLUB !!!

I'm so happy for you. You've been making big strides in the last couple of weeks. KUTGW. YOU GO GIRL !!!

Lizett congrats on the water.

Your carbs seem to be a little low. After this week if there's now change, you should increase them. Maybe even past induction levels. Good luck with weigh-in today.

Tammie I can't wait to hear about you's and Machons exercise escapades this weekend. Be strong. Because you know Machon will exercise your butt off...literally.

Everytime I think about you and your bike, it cracks me up.

Deb I was thinking that maybe you should look on the challenge thread for some possible ideas on what you could do the jumpstart your weight loss. That's what I did. From time to time I do the meat and egg fast. I've noticed that by increasing my protein has helped me start losing again. As you know, with this woe/wol, it's by trial and error that we figure out and discover what works best for us. Hang in there, you will find your niche.

And besides, not gaining is always a good thing.

CONGRATS TO ALL THE LOSERS AND MAINTA

WOE: Atkins...Gla/Cla Combo Start Date: March 8, 2003	GOOD MORNING QUEENS I'm so glad to see so many of the Queens posting. I was beginning to get worried about you ladies. It's good to know that everyone is doing well. I haven't done my exercises yet. I will soon. I plan on drinking 120oz. of water today. I got an early start today. Deb I'm so sorry to hear that there was a death in your family. You have my deepest sympathies. I'm sure that by journaling your food, you will begin to notice a difference. Tammie congrats on the 13-14's. I'm doing the happy dance with you. Machon I'm glad you're back. I'm glad the you got to spend some time with Jay and your family. I can't wait to see the pics of Jay. Renee (75) I'm so proud of your for sticking to your guns and resisting temtation. KUTGW Renee you did a great job staying on plan. You should be so proud of yourself. I know I am. Lizett I'm sure the pastry didn't do any damage, because you're at the stage in your weightloss, where you can do that from time to time. Just as long as you don't go overboard. Which I don't think you have a problem with that. Well Queens, I'm going to get dressed and go to vote. Make sure that you get out and vote Queens. Remember every vote counts. Have a great day Queens.

I went home as you know and everyone was like my boobs look bigger and my butt looks bigger. i told them no their not bigger my body is just smaller, LOL. all the fat is not covering the stuff up. Here is another thing. not one but two people called me beautiful. Now you all know my self esteem is through the roof but i've never been called beautiful. And of all the people who said it my granny said it. That meant the world to me. That alone made all this worth it. Oh and last thing. My aunt told me that I will be replacing queen latifah pretty soon is commercials, LOL. Why am I telling you all this. Other than the fact that I'm happy. Basically I noticed the different words people use when you get skinny. You go from being pretty to beautiful, you go from being nice to being sexy. you turn into a model instead of being smart, LOL. now i like all the rest of the compliments from before but just realizing how people change has been the biggest change. Oh last thing. I noticed I have high cheek bones. Well actually my son's dad noticed. crazy all the stuff that is starting to happen. well i will be back later chicks. I have to go vote. Oh and crazy girl lizett. nomatter what the scale says you need to start looking at yourself. do you like yourself. the scale may read 200, but if you look good at 200 then let it be. your weight is not going to matter if you dont like yourself. we can only tell you how good you look so many times. you need to start believing it.

Be good to my self, don't beat myself up because I sliped up on something. Tell my self I am worth every minute of it. 2. Exercise at least 3x a week. 3. Do my best at drinking more water. 4. Eat healthier. Well ladies it has been a hard week for me. I have been emotionally drain, but I haven't let it get to me like I use too. I worked graveyards last night and I was so tired this morning. I didn't want to go to exercise, but I did. I swam 26 laps in the pool. I feel so much better now that I did do it. Well everyone have a great day I am going to shave my legs and then I am going to go to bed. I work graves again tonight. __________________ Re-Started Atkins 5/1/06 266/195/125 I am 45 and 5'4" FOLLOW YOUR HEART The only path that will ever lead anywhere is the path that is followed with the heart.

I was out yesterday. I had a wisdom tooth pulled. I went to work this morning and was sent home. I am at the library after sleeping all day. I did manage to vote today. Today is my weigh in day. I am happy to say I am down 4 pounds. I got a 3 pound last night after not being able to eat anything but yogurt and scrambled eggs. Same thing I am eating today. I got a new banner too. 110 pound club - actually I have 111 pounds gone forever. I have to think on my goals for the month. Weighloss wise I have the same. I try not to set any # goals. I do have some personal things I need to work on. Machon - Congrats and to the 40 Pound Club!!!! It's good to have you back on the boards. Every has some inspiring goals for this month. I don't have time to respond to everyone, but will be back tomorrow. __________________ Claritta Praying, persisting, and persevering my way to goal My 100 Pound Story Two Years and Counting Eating is a deeply symbolic act of receiving God’s grace into my body. I do not want to dishonor this divine gift, so I never eat too much, or without thought, anymore. It works if you work it so work it cause you're worth it!

I too am glad to see more queens on here. It is much better when more people post. Deb I too am very sorry to hear that you had a death in the family. I know how extremly difficult that is and my thoughts and prayers are with you Liz make sure not to cut your carbs too low. I know that I found in doing that it was just like being on a low cal diet and not eating enough calories....Less isn't always better. Just be careful I know I got in that loop for a while and the results where the opposite of what I wanted. I hope that you realize how beautiful you are...I know that isn't always easy to do and sometimes your brain takes a while to catch up to what your body looks like...but I figure if we tell you again and again and again eveventually it will get through and you will go oh yeah duh I really am beautiful sexy strong queen. Machon I am glad that you made it home safely and everything is going well...Can't wait till Friday Well Queens...Happy day...look forward to seeing you all tomorrow for weigh in wednesday

Join Date: Aug 2003 Posts: 1,307 Gallery: mzfpg	I'm glad so many people posted about some things other than weight. funny thing i thought of with this post was my new years resolution, LOL. i know thinking ahead. but the thing is i think for the first time I wont be putting wieght on there. I always write that I want to lose weight. I looked at some of the previous years and i simply gained weight throughout the year. claritta- glad to see your doing well. take care of yourself. a tooth is a big deal, i dont know if i would be travelling around after i had a tooth pulled. maybe because i'm a big chicken. Tammie- get you bike and your shoes ready. this will not be a party weekend. you will work out harder than you ever have. remember when people use to come and visit and you would think, what am i going to cook, LOL. i'm thinking how can we fit in working out and shopping, LOL. Vic- you are really doing well. I know for a moment you were stalled but you make it though. now your getting all skinny i'm going to have to watch out for you. Terry- glad to see you back. your looking good too. i thing your #1 goal is the best i've read. putting yourself first, love it.

WOE: Atkins...Gla/Cla Combo Start Date: March 8, 2003	Queen Jerae Queen Jerae !!! I'm glad that you joined us. This is a great place to be for motivation and support. For giving as well as receiving. One key to succeeding in this woe/wol is being accountable. We've found that by posting everyday or as much as possible keeps us on track. We post about our losses and our gains. Basically, anything that's going on in our lives, because at some point our emotions leads us to food. You can do it. It all depends on how bad do you want it. We're here for you every step of the way. I look forward to getting to know you better. So jump right in and make yourself at home.
