*♥*Wednesday Check In*♥* October 26th

moonstruck · 10-25-2005, 09:01 PM

Happy Wednesday Everyone. This is my re-start day and I am not playing around any more with my weight. How is everyone? I'm okay....burnt out on my job and I don't know what I want to do - but I do know I want to work from home. Does anyone do this?

I'm a loan processor in a financial company and I'm just tired of being depended on so much. However, I don't think I will find the great boss I have now anywhere else, so that's part of what is keeping me there.

Reg · 10-26-2005, 05:14 AM

Morning !!

Mel78 · 10-26-2005, 05:22 AM

Good morning... I'm here. I still haven't gone to the store, so I don't have breakfast today, but lunch and dinner will be SBD legal. I'm really psyched about exercising agian today (only doing the treadmill for a 1/2 hour, but it's still more than I was doing before!)...

I have got to get to the store and get some "munchie" foods. I'm worried that hunger will lead to bad decisions.

But like I used to say... there isn't a food I want more than the want I have to be skinny!!!

Have a good day everyone!!!

redqueen · 10-26-2005, 07:27 AM

Morning All! Are we all ready for "one perfect Wednesday"?

Stephanie: You are so good to just keep on keepin' on! That will serve you well in the end! Sorry to hear the job is still so stressful! Did things improve with your admin? I do work from home (proposal manager). I love it! You know, having a great boss can make the other "stuff" worth it. The only better one you'll find is yourself!

Reg: Great to see you! Have a really good day!

Mel: I don't know how I missed your intro thread, so I'll say

here! Good plan to lay in the SBD-friendly munchies! Nothing worse than needing a little snack, and not having anything good! You've got the right attitude amd that's a big part of the battle!

Hi to all who follow!

justmarvi · 10-26-2005, 08:42 AM

Morning Steph, Reg, and Chris

Mel ! I am ready for a one perfect Wednesday with you guys!

A special thanks to you guys who keep the threads up for us!

You are appreciated!

Today is cleaning out the freezer and going through 2 closets after I get my 30 min. morning treadmill in.

Let's have a good one and hi to all who follow!

Here and down a bit....
My kids here at work are trick or treating around the building (they go to administration, billing, therapy, kitchen and other classrooms) - always fun!

Well, off to do some work! Renee

sandsbrat · 10-26-2005, 09:39 AM

Good morning everyone! Weigh in day, only 1 pound, but I will take it. Drank too much wine this past week and got into the sugar free candy. My calories were real low though, still hoping for a woosh next week so if anyone has seen the woosh fairy please send her my way!

Moonstruck. I am also a loan processor and my husband and I own our own branch. I work from home and love it, I have had to slow down though, I was working for 3 different branches and it got to be too many files. I like it cus I call my own shots, money etc. I am down to two branches now, our own and another one, its perfect. Many brokers work from home and are looking for processors that do the same! Just an idea!

Hi to everyone else that has posted and will post, another busy day for me!

vessel of prayer · 10-26-2005, 09:46 AM

Hi All

Is there a specific weigh in day on this thread? I just want all to know that since OCT 23rd I have dropped 1.8 pounds. This makes me very happy.

Sheila

Hi Shelia, I just picked Wed for me,, everyone does their own thing. I used to weigh everyday and it was really hard to stop, but I do pretty good now only once a week, I only cheat and peak before WED when I feel "lighter".

Congrats on your loss that is great!

I weigh in on Fridays.....at the gym. We all have different days....just pick a day and stick to it

Mel78 · 10-26-2005, 12:40 PM

I'm a FREAK and weigh every day... but luckily, I have learned not to get too wacky over the slightest flucuations as long as the overall trend is downward!!! I'll probably only update my current weight in my signature once a week with the average loss for that week (I'd love to do the lowest, but most of the time when I lose, I'm down two pounds one day and back up a quarter pound the next!)

jillieb · 10-26-2005, 12:55 PM

Good morning ...I weigh everyday, I'm obsessed...I was down .5 this morning..so that I was nice, I was surprised...so for reason I felt I was going to be up, cause I did eat more than the day before...oh well..it was nice anyway.

I need som different ideas for food, I have chicken, salmon and shrimp and am getting sick of them all...brocoli is getting very boring!

vessel of prayer · 10-26-2005, 12:59 PM

Ok I pick Thurs for weigh in day. Will post tomorrow!!
Thanks
Sheila

vessel of prayer · 10-26-2005, 01:01 PM

Oh I forgot, I weigh every morning, I know I should'nt. But thats how I was able to tell about me not losing for almost two months. I knew I had to do something.
So glad for Yall. These threads are appreciated very much.

That sounds so cool. I actually submitted my resume to a web site looking for contract loan processors. Please do tell - what is the name of your branch and do you have a suggestion as to where I should start? I do so much here and the girl who was hired to help me out is out again today. In the ten months she's been here - she's missed about a month's worth of work and my boss doesn't have the huevos to fire her worthless behind. I am actively looking employment elsewhere, but ultimately want to work from home. I'm tired of working for other people.

Hi Chris,
It's really not much better. My company is going to be phasing out the assistants anyway in December, which mean my workload will triple. I refuse to try to do it all and won't do it. My boss says when this change takes place, I will get a pay raise, but it just doesn't worth it to me. I do some much more here than just process loans and a lot of it is meanial garbage. I will say that I'm grateful that I got this job with no experience.

Well I was trained by American Mortgage Specialists a few years back, now I still process for one of their branches and we opened our own branch and got our license with New Freedom Mortgage. I knew alot of Brokers that went off on their own and still wanted me to process for them. In our paper brokers are always hireing (AZ) but if yours isn't then I would place an ad. If they need one bad enough they wont care if your working from home! Its always worth a shot to answer an ad also and see if they would let you work from home. It is the best thing I have ever done! Good luck!

FatBGone · 10-26-2005, 01:51 PM

Good morning everyone!

I am just starting this program today. I find these posts very inspiring and motivating. Anyone really struggle through the first week? I've tried to start before, but I tend to struggle after a few days, then by the weekend I sabotage all my efforts (this is true for other diet/lifestyle changes as well...). I am determined to be strong this time. I feel if I can make it past the first week, I should be good for the long haul.

Anyone else just starting today?

-D-

hostamomma · 10-26-2005, 01:55 PM

Hi All! Still here, just not getting in here often. Sheila, its good to see you here too!
Having a bit of trouble not eating with the weather getting cold. Trying to drink a lot of hot tea to keep me from wanting to munch.

PIR8LUVR · 10-26-2005, 02:07 PM

I weigh every day so that I can make adjustments if necessary. However, I consider fridays my official weigh in day.

I will not have a perfect day today

. It is a coworkers birthday and the office laid out a spread. I was good all except for the Boberry biscuit (if you don't have a Bojangles where you live, I am very sorry) I had. But it was first thing in the morning and I have all day to work it off. LOL. I don't think I am going to make the original Christmas goal I set for myself. It's not unobtainable, but I don't think it is too likely either. I will continue to strive for it of course, but I will not beat myself up over it either.

Have a great rest of the day!

vessel of prayer · 10-26-2005, 02:23 PM

Hi Denise!!
D- Fat b gone..I started three days ago. I love it so far. There are a lot of good choices to eat. Did you read the sticky for phase 1?
Sheila

Pennypower · 10-26-2005, 05:37 PM

It's good to see some losers around her I remember! I've been away and had not taken time to check in. Everyone sounds great! I still am fighting the 160 floor. I have not been able to find a person who could go to the gym with me. And in my hours! Happy Halloween

justmarvi · 10-26-2005, 07:09 PM

Yah! Good to see everyone! Busy day here.

Well, good for you! I think that is great. Is the money very good? I work for Wells Fargo and got the job with no previous experience. I'd like to have at least two full years processing loans and next August, I will. Thanks for the info, though. I really appreciate it!

Yes everyone wants at least 2 years experience so that would be your best bet! Hang in there its worth it! Yes the money is VERY good! Per file basis but if you have a strong team it will add up fast. Good luck!
