I'm here Loreelin! Been crazy busy............ not normally busy....... crazy, insane busy.

But I lost 4 pounds! Why is it that the scale stays the same for 2 weeks, I don't do anything drastically different, then it drops? I was at 184 Mon. and again this morning, so I'm happy a few more pounds have really come off.

It has been hard to focus.... a friend's daughter died in a car accident Saturday. She was a student at our school. I just feel a heavy blanket of sadness is over me, but at the same time, it is a reality check. We need to get our weight off because it keeps us healthy so that we can enjoy life at its fullest! We have to celebrate the good things, and if being sexy makes us feel good, we should go for it!

Stay healthy girls! We are worth this!

Georgia--i am so sorry for your loss--having that kind of hurt in one's life is so debilitating. Hugs to you.
i have done terrible since being sick and snowed in (we got a foot of snow yesterday!!)--but i am back at work and back on track today--i want to get down another few pounds before VDAY!!

again--big hugs!

Thanks loreelin....... our school family has been through so much tragedy this year. It has been unbelievable. The teachers here are mostly a bunch of moms all raising our kids together. If one hurts we all hurt. It has been a painful school year. argh.... shake it off..........

OK...... let's all try for a pound or 2 this week! The way I look at it, I need to lose 10 pounds a month for the next 3 months. I don't even know if that is possible. I've lost weight before.... I don't know why it is so hard for me this time. I just saw a friend that I will be hanging out a lot in the summer in our bathing suits.... she has lost 15 pounds this winter basically excercising 5 days a week and eating less. I think we just all have to buckle down and make a committment like that and get this over with. This slow process is not very motivating (for me).

Cheers from Georgia!

Hey Georgia, I think we are the only ones left anymore. I agree the slow process bites--but it's all i got right now. It's negative 20 outside and still snowing--brrr!
We just need to stick together and get thru this!
I weighed in at 184 this morning--luckily--i was sick early last week but didn't do so great once my appetite came back--but i am back on track and hope to see 183 at least next week!
We are closing at the end of the month on our golfcourse/country club house--I am so excited!! i never thought we could afford a house in that location, but HEY HEY! we got a deal!!
the stress alone of home buying will probably make me lose weight--though the loan has been underwritten, the inspection and appraisals came through, really now, it's just waiting for the keys!!!!

well, this is probably great.......... we are both at the same place weight wise anyway. I hope Rather Be comes back........ if not, maybe we should just move to regular email?????????? Or is this more motivating???

Awesome about the house!!!!!!! It sounds amazing!!!!My husband is a real-estate agent/investor. I might retire early and get my licence. I love teaching so much, but sometimes I think about trying something entirely new just to have the experience. I won't go anywhere until my daughter is out of elem. school. We have such a support group here, and with no family in this state, I need that.

Back to Fatsville...... I started a new soup diet yesterday. I swear, I jump to a different diet every week. I just need to pick one and stick to it. If I go into summer again in my fat frump body, I am going to be so mad at myself. So, I made a huge batch of the soup last night.... all vegetables. But of course when the kids and I stopped by the gro store on the way home from school to buy the ingredients, I bought them Bugles, let them open them on the way home, and ate several handfulls myself!!!!! I just can't do the "just one bite" thing. I have lost weight before..... really stuck to it. Here we go again!!!!

Hey Georgia, I am fine if you want to go with email--may actually be better cuz i check that constantly and i have to consciously think about coming here! if you want to --send me an email here and i'll send you my email--just let me know!
i know what you mean by a different diet every week--been there--i have my weight watchers books, my zone junk, all of it, but i am just stick to plain old calorie counting for now. i have no time to think about a new diet right now. I LOVE BUGLES--i stared at them for like 5 minutes in the grocery store sunday but never gave in--yea!
We can do this together! I believe in us! I want a new swimsuit and a beach vacation!!!
Talk to you soon!

Loreelin, whatcha think about this motivation/reward system for us:

We EACH lose 10 pounds: get each other's email addresses
Lose an additional 10 pounds: Get to talk on the phone
Lose another 10 pounds: Exchange pictures

??????????

I was looking for a discussion forum for weight loss, this one came up first on Google. Can someone direct me to a good forum for everyone. I feel like I'm interrupting a private conversation here. I would like to read experiences and get some good advice. I'm really serious about losing weight this time. (I've lost 24 pounds since Christmas.) I want to keep up the momentum!

Help! (Please.) Confused

Also what am I doing wrong, (I keep hitting submit and it keeps sending me back to the same page.) Embarassed

Brooke, you are not interrupting anything Smile

but maybe that does explain why nobody else joins (or stays) in this forum! I never thought of that.

I don't know about another one, but you are welcome to join us!!! We need to all get this over with..... But I can't promise that I will stick to it today because....

Happy Birthday to me!

A Valentine Birthday! Happy Birthday Georgia! Hope you had a great one!!

Welcome Brooke, we would be happy to have a new buddy--we seem to be the only ones left Smile

I am hovering around 183-5--so ready to see 179--ready to see 140!! I got hip-hop abs and will probably start doing it once we move at the end of the month.

Also, does anyone have tips on quitting diet soda--pretty sure i am addicted and i think quitting would help me lose weight and help my complexion. having a lot of trouble quitting it--so any tips helpful!!

Thanks girls! Weigh in tomorrow and ANOTHER SNOW STORM in Iowa today--blek.
