~*~" Waist'ing Away" with CLA/GLA in 2008~*~

[michelemomof2]

Chic - I didn't take a pic of myself, I just put a pic up that I was in (with my dad and my DH, brothers and sister, etc.) Also, I believe I put up a pic of my DD and myself in the November or December thread (can't remember). Perhaps I should have someone take a full body of me (man, that will be scary). Thing is, I've lost a couple inches and pounds since those other pics, but I have so much more to lose.

[Justachic]

Yes of course Michele....I DO remember those!!! They were very nice pics of you and the family, I even commented on them. Sorry....sometimes I think I would forget my own name.

[michelemomof2]

No problem, Chic. I just didn't want you to be looking for something that wasn't there. If I can remember to get my DD to take a pic of me after she gets home later, I will post it. Otherwise, I'll just use those other pics as my before.

Maybe I missed this and I'm sorry if I did, but do you all take your pills all at once or do you space them out during the day.

And another question, where did you find out the amount one should take?

[Justachic]

queen bee....go to page 1 of this thread.
All your info is posted there~

Fellow Fishing Enthusiasts.....only because we were discussing fishing not long ago, I thought I would mention that it made the news that they caught a 355 lb tuna off of a fishing boat in Point Loma. That's in San Diego, California a couple of hours south of me. I guess this is unusual! The captain of the boat said he thought he hooked another boat and that it took 2 hours to reel it in. That's A LOT of tuna!!!

hi, i finally got my cla and gla from netrition last night so today is my first day. i'm taking liquid cla plus and now borage oil. does anyone know if mixing in my liquid cla with my morning fawn shake is ok?

[PAULAR42166]

Lisa- You look great!!!!! Keep up the good work !!

Michele- I would say that Wii is worth its weight in gold!! I love it, the whole family is up and moving more!! its not just the kids sitting in their rooms playing, they are up in the living room talking laughing and having fun. Wish I would have gotten it a long time ago! and Yes they do have a couple of dancing games with it. I am not cordinated enough to dance (unless I have drank too much, then I can LOL ) , But I love the boxing, and the bowling so far, not that great at tennis but working on it. I was going to walk this am but my 22 year old son stopped by and we bowled for 2 hours LOL!!!


You all have a wonderful afternoon!!
Paula

[michelemomof2]

anniemo - I don't see that it would hurt to take it with/in your Fawn shake.

Paula - That sounds like so much fun! I say it counts as exercise, too.

Eats for the day:

B - coffee w/hc; egg salad
L - leftover bl/sl chicken breast with Frank's hot sauce on it; piece of peanut butter coconut bark a/k/a peanut butter delights.
Snack - coffee w/heavy cream
D - We're going to Hoss's and I'm having salad bar and maybe a little Hoss.

Youngest DD is leaving to go back to college tomorrow and I will be all alone...I'm getting sad, already.

First off....major storm going on here, may lose internet !!!! I worked 11 hours last night and have to work out in the storm again tonight. My job was to stand at the top of the slope and watch the guys pin up the roof under the fall in and if it fell on them I had to call for help QUICK !!!

nla4ever, I have the leslie sansone walking videos, but havent tried them yet

chic, sorry I missed your post. I was helping my son with something right in the middle of trying to post and had LCF on hold for a few. You have nothing to be shy about, your such a pretty lady !! The way we did pics before was on the first of every month, we post pics of front, side, and back view when we start, and an updated one of your current progress under it so you can see the changes, right here on the thread. Each month, you add your current pics under those. It was very motivating for all of us to get those improved pics up before the first of the next month. VERY motivating. Heres an example of mine from 2005. I really didn't think I had lost anything, but when I put them by my starting pics, even I could see the difference, and it really got me sticking to plan !!! No one HAS to post pics, I know how hard it was for me to hit that "post" button and show my pics, but ya know what?...It was sorta "liberating" to do it especially after everyone pointed out all the positive changes they saw that I missed



Tom, Oh yea honey, make that for us pleaseeeee

Belli boo hoo, welcome to the group , jump right in and start posting and let us get to know you

Marsha, hope you feel better real soon. My son is sick too, must be something going around

Free, WTG on the 172.5lbs woohoo !!!

Lisa, post the pic here too !!!! after all, WE are family

Michele, Yay !!! no more evil pills !!! Tom & I are getting Wii in 2 weeks, I can't wait !!! Its so fun, you will LOVE it !!! I want the dance and fitness one


Hope I didn't forget anyone, trying to hurry and post before I lose internet lol. Sorry if any typos !!!

awwww I know how you feel, I miss my girls too , and our kids in Wyoming !!

[michelemomof2]

Trish - Thanks.

Chic - I got my DD to take before pics and man I hate what they look like. Here they are, taken today:



Dear Lord, am I really that fat?! Yikes! I guess I'm one of those peeps who doesn't think they are as fat as they REALLY ARE, until they see a pic!

[kycowgirl]

Michele, seeee that wasn't so bad !!! I'm proud of you . Now we can all tell you how pretty you really are. You really don't look that big to me . Now wait till the first of the month, and take pics of the same poses as those and put them side by side. You will see the changes then .

If you don't have anyone to take the pics, try the timer option on the cameras

[kycowgirl]

For anyone brave enough to post progress pics, please be assured you will never get any critisizm (sp?) from us. What you will get is honest opinions and LOTS of encouragement and support.

[duece49424]

Catching up on my reading again. We are a busy post. I can't post pics yet, but I will work on it. MICHELE - I am so proud of you - you are such a beautiful woman! All the other pics that are here - wow you girls rock! I keep learning more every day.

[kycowgirl]

Jane, posting pics is not something you have to do to be a member of this thread. Only post them if and when you feel comfy with it . I do suggest you take them for yourself though. Thats where you will see the changes. We are so critical of ourselves and it's hard for us to see any changes, but the pics don't lie !!!

I agree, Michele is a beautiful woman, inside and out !!!

[Missalissa]

This thread is hoppin'! Not alot of time for personals, so I will just say:


!

[kycowgirl]

Missalissa, , thanks for checkin in

[kycowgirl]

Sounds like they about got the bolting done on the slope roof, so looks like we may be allowed back Underground tonight

[mikkimouse]

I Agree.....



Michele you are a beautiful woman..... I havent been on much today, but i will post later.

I am still working on getting my pict posted too!!! ( maybe )
HEHEHEHE



to all.

[michelemomof2]

Aw, thanks Trish, Jane and Mikki...you all all so sweet.

Trish - I am skeered for you to go underground tonight. I'm going to say a to keep you safe.

Mikki - Still waitin' on skinny jeans pic. (taps foot impatiently) You are so tall, so I know those jeans are looking good on you. I'm like 5' 1/4" tall.

[kycowgirl]

Thanks Michele , I can always use lots of prayers down there !!! I'll work safe, promise

Now I am off to work, seeya all tomorrow

[mikkimouse]

Be safe trish.....

[Justachic]

Michele thanks for posting your pics, it is giving me courage to post mine...and yes it is true, you are very pretty!

Trisha....your pics are incredible and show how motivating it can be. The before and afters are amazing! Okay. If you can do it in a swim suit, I can too! I'll have DH take some pics of me tomorrow. I'll have to find a decent swim suit being that the last time I put one on was before kids! That just means that they were all tiny 2 pieces and I definitely don't have that much courage...LOL.
May God keep you and your crew safe tonight....

[Justachic]

Some of you have posted some old pics of yourselves which I thought was really neat. Being that we didn't buy a digital camera until we started having kids, I don't have any pre-kids pics of me that I can post. This is a 45 second video of myself and my first born (6 months old at the time) in Monterey California. The person speaking is my DH.

[michelemomof2]

Thanks, Chic. Hon, you don't have anything to worry about posting some pics...you are so pretty. I was scared posting those and I have clothes on, but pics like Trish's truly show a big difference. Maybe I should have DH take some like that, but I am not posting them cause you would all run away blinded!

[michelemomof2]

Chic - Wow, you are so skinny in that pic! (I didn't get a video.) Look how little your legs are! Thanks for sharing.

[lildragonfly]

Michele- You are so Pretty!!!

Trish- Man can I tell a difference in those photos. And you be careful at work tonight! You look so good too!

Chic- Gosh I love that scenery there in Monterey. And your baby is sooooo cute. And you look fab too!

Lisabinil-Your pics are terrific. You look great!!

To everyone else that I cant scroll back to to see and post lol Hello and I hope to get to talk to everyone!!

Speaking of the Wii, DD got one for Christmas and I must say I love it!! I box all the time and boy does it work up a sweat and make the arms hurt. They are coming out with a Wii Fit module that you exercise on and do yoga on cant wait for that.
I am trying to learn meditation to control stress. Cause my stress is out of control.

Stopped taking combo till I get to feeling better. Will start back soon I hope.
I actually feel worse since I worked today with fever ( stupid boss). Anyone talk to you guys later on! to everyone

[Justachic]

Thanks Michele, I seemed to be able to stay thin after my first was just born but something happened just after that trip where things got out of control! I'm trying to get back to my old self again.

You should be able to just click on the pic for the video...hmmmm....let me see if I can figure out why it won't work.

[lildragonfly]

Chic- It worked for me I clicked it and it ran.
