[lildragonfly]

Chic- Ok to answer the question of reward. I will buy a sexy dress and undies from Fredricks or Victoria secrets and know I look dang smokin hot!! Even with them all off!!

[smileyface]

Hi everyone. A big to everyone who had a loss of pounds and/or inches. How cool is that.

Trish, your job sounds so scary. I hope you are always careful. I would hate to hear bad news about you getting hurt. I would feel bad for you.
And thanks for the comliment. I appreciate it.

Everyone, have a great weekend. Gotta get back to the New England game.

OK, here's my photo. How terrible, that poochy stomach of mine. I had an appendectomy at 17, 3 scar revisions, gall bladder removal and childbirth(1 child). My stomach has seen it being stretched many times. I know I shouldn't be embarrassed but I am.

I'm exercising faithfully now and in a month I will post my picture again.

Hi all,
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. We had friends over to watch the Seattle game. It was fun, but I wasn't really in the mood for company. It was ok though, but the Seahawks lost........that is a bummer......
haven't weighed today.
I wasn't so very good, but not so bad either eating wise.
Chic~
What would I do when I hit my ultimate goal?? Have my dsh take me somewhere warm and sunny and buy myself some great cute clothes for the trip that I know will look great on me!! I want to feel good in clothes, not mine.........someone smallers!! HA
Trish~ way to go on another lb down, you and I are just about the same in our weight. I was 201 Monday and 198 yesterday. TOM is here, so I didn't weigh and won't until after it's long gone.
Phil~ my dsh has muzzle loaders too. He hasn't hunted with them since we moved up here, but used to use them OR all of the time.
Deanna~ love those dimples!!
Marsha~ the wii fit sounds great! I can't wait to get a wii. We can't find one here yet. They sell out as soon as they get in. I love the bowling, we've played the tennis and a few others on the wii play....but love the more physical ones. what a great workout!
I'll try to remember to have DSH take some pics of me before or after church tomorrow. I am embarrassed to put my measurements down, you guys have made me feel so comfortable though I haven't put my weight down until now! Baby steps right
A big hi to everyone I may have missed, it wasn't intentional....... cbl

[jillywilly]

We were posting at the same time Deanna, I can't wait to see your progress! KUTGW!

[lisabinil]

Here's my latest pics at 185. The ones in my wedding dress are when I was 170-175? I will have to scan the ones of me at my heaviest of 287-pre digital camera days.

[smileyface]

Jilly-thanks for the compliment. I love your ultimate goal idea. What a nice thought.
mikkimouse, don't get discouraged, you can do it. You have the right idea. I'm pulling for you.
lisabinil, I look like a rollypolly. I like your photos. Your legs don't look that bad.

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!

Don't cha all just love her??? Hey! It's OKAY....They're MARRRRIED!

[nla4ever]

cutie--- I was reading old post on cla/gla and you lost 3 sizes in 6 weeks
were you exercising and what phase of atkins were you in

did anyone else see results like this, I think that is amazing

also I have not been doing atkins exact because I am low on food
and no money, so have to eat what I have
but have noticed a few inch loss
I have a small daughter so cant get to gym much
so I dance and lift my 5lb weights 100 times on each arm
and do leslie sanson walking 1 mile a day
is this enough

[Justachic]

Lisa.....Did you guys get married at Gilley's or just celebrate there?

[FreeingMyself]

So apparently my measurements were off in my first post and I never revised them, because I just looked at what my husband measure me at the day after and they don't match Maybe this is why people shouldn't measure themselves

OK Starting stats-

Weight- 177lbs
Underbust- 39"
Waist- 38" (I liked my 35" waaaay better)
Pooch- 42"
Hips- 41"
Thighs- 25"
Arms- 13"

2 weeks results of my official weigh in and measurements is....

Weight- 172lbs
Underbust-38"
Waist -36" (YES!!!!!)
Pooch- 41"
Hips- 40.25"
Thighs- 23.25"
Arms- 12.25"

Inches lost= 9.25(Maybe my math is wrong though)
Pounds lost 5lbs

Andthis was with changing my diet and including more grains, healthy carbs!!
I am so excited and will definately keep up the running and this WOE!!!
Plus, I love my combo

Okay, this was in VEGAS! I was thinking "Urban Cowboy" Gilleys in Houston. Loved that movie!

Freeingmyself....Great going on the measurement change!

GREAT PICS EVERYONE!!! Phil is right, we really do have a great looking bunch here. Thanks for posting them!

I'm drinking my protein shake and soon I'll be off to the gym. Have a great day!

[lildragonfly]

Chic- When I see Gilleys I am like you I think of Urban Cowboy lol.

Free- Girl you doing so fab !! Congratz!!! Wish I was doing as well.Can you give me some ideas of how you are eating or what? I think I am about to go up the RUNG and add a few things slowly.

Smiley- you look just like a friend I had in high school. Skinny legs. I have muscled legs and they can be a pain.
I used to play ball so I gain muscle quit easy and bulk up if I dont watch what exactly Im doing.

Mikki- Girl you da bomb!! Looking great, big change!!

Lisa- I saw your pics on other forum and as I said YOU LOOK SO GREAT!! Almost makes me wanna find a man and get married...humm that can be my new year resolution rofl.

Trish & Tom - GJ on keeping on track!! And I think its perfectly fine if you want to give Tom a lapdance as long as he has plenty of $ to stuff in places lol.

nla4ever- Do what you can with what you have is what i always think. I understand totally the low money thing.

jilly- I can understand sometimes not wanting company. I am a hermit. When I come home from work I have a set routine and if someone comes over screws up my whole night. And sorry to hear Seattle lost. Im an Atlanta & TN fan so Ive given up on the season now lol.

Phil- Hope hunting went well.
Mountain girl- Where are you?? Hope you are ok.

Menu:
B: 2 eggs scrambled, coffe with cream and mocha splenda
L: 5 ozs of pork ribs
S: Not sure yet
D: Tilipia, green beans

[michelemomof2]

Good afternoon everyone. I did some running around yesterday and then DH and I went out to dinner last evening with some friends. We ate at Longhorn Steakhouse and I had an 8 oz. sirloin and caesar salad and veggies. Yum.

Eats today:

B - coffee w/hc; sausage;
L - eggs salad and 1/2 avacado
S - 4 pork rinds w/cream cheese on them
D - London broil and broccoli.

Mikki - I hope everything turns out for the best. Try to not get yourself too upset (easy to say, I know). I had this happen to me 3 years ago and it was a cyst. I'll be for ya.

Tom and Marsha - Good going on being down this week!

Marsha - I don't lose and even gain when I hardly eat. I have to make myself eat more, but it is sometimes difficult.

Trish and Tom - Chat sounds like fun...let us know.

Lisa- I LOVE Vegas!!!!!

[michelemomof2]

I must has posted before I read the last page and viewed the pics.

Mikki - You are so tiny! You don't even look bad at 228! Incredible weight loss, girl.

Deanna - Lisa right, you are so small in the upper body, face and your legs. You are really pretty, too.

Lisa - I saw your pics on the Main Lobby and I think you look great. Congrats on your weight loss!

jilly and nla and everyone I didn't mention.

[metqa]

Hi All!
Question: Do you take all of your CLA at once or spread out over the day? I've got some capsules and according to your dosage I'd have to take 4.4 capsules or 5 for a full days dose. I'd like to take the liquid product you recommend, but I've got two bottles of capsules that should last me 24 days each, so I'd like to use them to start.

I'm also looking to take Medium Chain Triglycerides, but I'm still reading up on that.

I guess I'll post my measurements, once I find my tape and notebook.

[mikkimouse]

Thanks michele, chic, lisa.....deffinatly good progress. You guys also are doing a great job!!!



Ok imma looking for a pict BC.....LOL

[mikkimouse]

Ok this was me Before Children, Yeah i know i was blonde, and now i have dyed my Mop black, sheesh i think i have been almost every color. But anyways this is my goal picture, I was 150 in this and thats where i wanna be again. I have this picture in front of my gazelle so it will make me move faster. LOL ok im off to cook HB eggs for the week. to all
I will BBL

[iabowhunter]

Hello!
Deanna, lisabinil, and Mikki....Great pics and great progress! You all three look awesome!

FreeingMyself...9.250 inches lost in 2 weeks. Thats AWESOME! Congrats!!

metqa...WELCOME! I take mine all at once first thing in the morning.

I didn't see any deer last night. It was COLD! I stayed warm in all my layers clothes. I love my hunting fleece! This morning I saw 12 deer total but they were running as fast as they could run. My wife had to work tonight so my hunting year is over. Unless I go buy another tag for the high power season. I don't think that will happen. I did get in quite a long walk today with all my gear so that was good. On a good note, my wife is no longer a hunting widow. Only 8 and a half months untill bow season opens up!

I need to order another supply of CLA/GLA. Might order 2 monthes worth this time. Eating has gone well. I'll be cooking up some hamburger for tonight and tomorrows lunch.

Hope everyone is doing well!

[Justachic]

Okay....I'm about a wreck here watching the Chargers beat the Colts. Whew...

Mikkkkkkkiiiiiiiii.......what do you say girl, let's both you and I get back to what we used to look like before kids gal pal?

WHAT????? The Chargers beat the Colts? In Indy? WOW! Whodathunkit????

[RealFoodLiving]

Afternoon Buddies!

lildragonfly: Thanks for missing me and asking about me! I appreciate it so much!

Sorry I haven't checked in, I've been in a funk. My eating is OK, but STILL not losing any pounds or inches. I'm dealing with some emotional issues over our financial woes and our daughter in college. We just can't help her financially and we are having trouble making ends meet on our disability income.

SOOOOO, I may not be able to afford the COMBO right now, but I'm praying I can find some cheap.

Anyhooo, how are y'all?

Mikki: Your pictures are so wonderful, you look MAHVELOUS! Whoo hooo, what a hottie in that gown. And you look so lovely in yesterday's pics! Praying for you gal! I know the "not knowing" is the worst, I pray you get a good report!!!!

Michele: KUTGW!!

Trisha: I hope you don't have a hangover!

Phil: How many deer did you get this year? Did I ever tell you when we lived in WV, we hunted on our land and my hubby shot a doe with a rifle and it went through her and killed another doe behind her! 2 for the price of one shot!! Now we live in the city and no more hunting.

Lisa: You are SO pretty!! Just like your avatar! Hey, you quit saying bad things about yourself, you look really great!!

Deanna: You look really good too! The tummy will go down as you lose the rest, dontcha worry!! The rest of you is so skinny!

Justachic: IF I ever really hit goal (it seems impossible at this point with the scale and tape not moving), I really don't have a clue what I'll do! I just can't visualize it, so if it happens, I'll do something then. Got's to be inexpensive though!

Hey Jilly, Marsha and anyone else I missed! Howdy!!

Why do we get so blindsided by our weight we will go to any lengths, even if it means making ourselves sick to get rid of it? Sorry for the rant but geeesh!

Thanks for making fun of me. I really don't appreciate that you are using this forum to dole out advice on one hand and then mock me on the other. We are all here to be supportive of one another and I think logging on to get some answers and instead being reduced to tears by you implying that I'm stupid is terrible.

I was asking if this happens to others, asking if it will diminish with time like other side effects of taking supplements sometimes do, and asking what can be done to make it okay.

I'm sure you have self esteem issues, we likely all do, I sure do, but I don't think it's okay for you to put others down especially since you KNEW I WAS A NEWBIE. Shame on you for hurting someone to make yourself look "more knowledgeable".
