. Back up to 190 today since I went to my granddaughters birthday party last night and ate some maccaroni and a small piece of cake. I'll check in again before we go, but I have tons to do today so I better get busy. I cant remember what her scale said last time. I'll find out soon
gotta remember to pack my combo !!!

It's okay Trisha.....Just get back on the saddle. This trip might set you back some too, but do forgive yourself and when you return, give extra care to yourself.

kycowgirl · 05-13-2009, 03:23 PM

Her scale said 204

, (and I know I wasnt wearing 14 lbs of clothes) which is still a 7 lb loss since I was there last month (by her scale) , but it looks like Ima hafta get a new scale when we get back and re-group

. I wondered about the digital scale being in the bathroom with all the humidity. I'm bummed

she uses one of those stand on springy kind with the moving needle on it. maybe HER scale is bad

Justachic · 05-13-2009, 03:27 PM

Trisha...What do your clothes feel like? I HATE scales!

kycowgirl · 05-13-2009, 03:28 PM

They are definately looser. I bought 2 pair of 16 shorts for the trip and I have to wear a belt with them now. They werent that loose when I bought them. And my jeans went right on without any sucking in lol and are loose in the legs

kycowgirl · 05-13-2009, 03:31 PM

yano, she was telling me that another lady was there and insisting that she lost some weight cuz her clothes were looser, but the office scale showed no change, so I bet their scale is bad. My other dr.'s scale always matched what mine said and he had one with the sliding weights

Justachic · 05-13-2009, 03:50 PM

Okay, just so you understand how the scales mess with me.....

At my leanest and before I had my boys...I would wear a size 5/7 (depending on the clothes) and would weigh in at about 135/137. Now after strength training and taking the combo, I am back to wearing the same sizes but I am now weighing in at 147/152. From what I understand, the combo helps keep your muscles from breaking down. I just can't look at the scale like I did before without it driving me nuts.

Sounds like ur going in the right direction. Don't let that scale dictate your feelings about your progress.

kycowgirl · 05-13-2009, 04:10 PM

Thanks for the pep talk chic

. I'm going to enjoy what accomplishment I have gained

. Its all going to go away after this trip anyway :blush:

kycowgirl · 05-13-2009, 04:14 PM

OhMyGosh.... did anyone see Biggest Loser last night ??? jerry blew them all away. How in the world did he do it??? hes what...64??? and did you see the muscle tone in his arms???

I guess there is hope for us older folks

. That really inspired me !!!

I saw it!!! I can't believe he lost all that weight and wasn't even on the actual show but maybe a week or two at the beginning! Helen looks like she needs to gain a couple pounds back, in my opinion, but she has accomplished so much and I'm happy for her. I thought she looked good when she was in the 140's. I believe she was 117 at the finale.

Trish - Have a GREAT trip to Florida and relax and enjoy yourselves. I think you've lost weight by the way your clothes are fitting. KUTGW!

ADLMA - Congrats on the more than 4 lbs. weight loss! You go sista pack rat!

Phil - Love the new pic. Our yard sale is Saturday morning, wanna come and help sell my junk?

Metqa - Thanks for the mint oil idea. I was having a problem with ants for several weeks and it was driving me crazy. I have no idea how they are getting into the house. I have ant traps and I haven't seen many lately, but I will look into getting some mint oil. Thanks!

to all the new members.

Hi Chic, Kimlou, Greenejoy, got2getmoving, lowcarb69 and anyone else I've missed. Have a great evening.

Justachic · 05-13-2009, 06:13 PM

Thanks for posting the above Kimlou!

These pics are amazing.....I look at them like Rock Stars! Ha ha ha. Keep in mind tho, I heard somewhere that these people workout for about 6 hours a day and of course have personal chefs?

But this is all hear say. I consider myself DANG lucky to be able to squeak out an hour and a half at the most. I wish I had a personal chef that would only make me LC meals.

Hi Michele! How the heck does one weigh 117lbs???

I don't even think my skeleton weighs that. Ha ha ha.... I'd have to do a lot of

to get to that point.

michelemomof2 · 05-13-2009, 06:23 PM

I have no idea how one can get to weigh 117! When I was 27, I started losing weight for no reason (well, it was for a reason, but I just didn't know why at the time). I was usually around 134, but had gained to 157 and then I lost a lot of weight, down to 118. I had no bust with that weight loss, and I have always been "chesty." Then in my early 30's, I started gaining weight "for no good reason." Turns out that I have Hashimoto's, but I didn't know it at the time. Now, I am having a really hard time even losing 1 pound. I'm trying not to worry about it.

michelemomof2 · 05-13-2009, 06:24 PM

Good night all. (Chic, I know it is still early for you.)

Justachic · 05-13-2009, 06:52 PM

I know you are in bed right now Michele but I wanted to say that I understand that Hashimoto's is a thyroid condition, right? I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 21 so I can say that I understand in a way what you are going thru. When I was a teenager, people thought i was anorexic (I was hyperthyroid and didn't know it) so then the Docs figured my thyroid burned itself out and became Hypo at about 21 years. That's when I started gaining all kinds of weight. I have had to learn how to be a person who works extra hard at fitness to be where i am now. With all that I do, I wouldn't be surprised if a "normal" person would be 117 lbs instead of what I weigh. It's the cards that life has handed us, I am not going to let it get the best of me. I know you will conquer it too! Good luck in finding your way thru this disease. Sending you the most positive thoughts.

kycowgirl · 05-14-2009, 08:43 AM

We are heading out now, I'll check in when we can. We will drive till about 7:45 pm and get a room so we can watch the final Survivor

and head out early so maybe we can get there for the first round of golf

Y'all take care now, and I'll have pics when I get back

greenejoy · 05-14-2009, 09:11 AM

I've seen bags of shredded broccoli stems in the supermartket near the bagged lettuce. It makes it so much easier to make. I like to add a few florets for flourish.

kycowgirl · 05-14-2009, 01:16 PM

Are ya having fun yet? Be safe!

metqa · 05-14-2009, 01:40 PM

Hey I need some advice.

If you were on a business trip and were using your credit card and reciepts to show meals for reimbursement, would you put the tip on the card, or pay the tip in cash? would you ask for the tip to be included in the reimbursement? If you did and paid cash how would you document it?

I'm gonna ask this in the tipping thread also.

Justachic · 05-14-2009, 02:03 PM

When I was flying, we got per diem on my paycheck. Sorry I can't help ya! Hope u r having a great day......

got2getmoving · 05-14-2009, 04:30 PM

Trisha : have a safe trip and have lots of fun.

good evening! I didn't get any dvd/video done today like I wanted to. I ended up working an OT last night and just wanted to sleep in today. I did get my housework done and managed to walk up to the post office with the kids, only 3 blocks each way,but better then nothing. I am hoping to get to bed early tonight. I am going to be working OT tomorrow night to, gotta take it while they offer it 'cause it doesn't happen very often.

eating today was convenience food: jalapeno hot dogs, hamburger, mesquite chicken. didn't get as much water in as I usually do, but working on some tonight.
