Hi Guys!

I am determined to shake this crappy feeling, so I am going to get out and walk today. Maybe that will lift my spirits.

Carmen, you can kick that soda habit. I was a Coke head for a while, and went 5 years without one soda Coke or otherwise. Now when my husband has a Coke it doesn't even tempt me.

Motown-- How are you healing? I felt guilty for not working out yesterday, when I though of how you couldn't work out, through no fault of your own. Today, I am walking in your honor.

Sherry--- Hang in there, you are still in my prayers.

Gottadothis----PLEEEASE can I borrow just an ounce of your determination???


Greekgirl --I glad to see the scale is moving again. I am going to give low-carb another try. The whole not pooping thing was too much last week. This time around, I will add the magnesium like you suggested. I guess I should lay off on the cheese some too. LOL

Marie--You are still kicking butt. Keep it up.

Jenn how is your week going??

Raquel---are you still with us??

It's a great day ---get out and enjoy!

Renee: I take the magnesium and calcium supplements and they seem to be keeping me regular.. I was having a lot of trouble in that area but since starting those(seen it on Oprah with Dr.Oz) it has done the trick... glad you are staying on track and forcing yourself away from the blah.. My determination is coming from the countdown to our vacation... umm I have six weeks til we leave for Orlando... the idea of wearing a bathing suit in public is motivation every day... oh yeah not to forget taking a picture for you all to see.,....

Greekgirl: it sounds like you are doing good so far this week keep it up over the weekend and I am sure you will have a good weigh in. Yeah the whole bathing suit thing is enough to give me nightmares.... I am looking forward to it in one aspect because it is motivating me but on the other hand I am terrified by the thought... I better go do some crunches while I am thinking about it...

I know what you mean about fear of bathing suits. The Mr. and I are headed for Jamaica --man , in October. I guess I think that I still have time to slack off.

Rise and Shine Everybody!!!

I keep having to search for this thread because it gets buried everyday. Where is everybody???

For those of you who have not seen the thread, I am starting the 6 Week Body Makeover tomorrow. If any of you guys have the plan and want to join me the more the merrier. If you do not have the plan but would like to start I can send you the info.


Happy Saturday All!

As for the job i am still waiting to hear something I pray she will call me this week and say I have the job.. We desperately need it!! Now as for weight loss I have lost 7lbs!! Can not believe it...

[gottadothis]

Sherry I remember something similar with my uncle he had to wear an eye patch to help it.. and put drops in it all the time.. glad it is getting better and a big congrats on the 7lbs that is awesome.
Renee: Did you lose any this week or are you waiting to weigh in? I did see your thread about the 6 week plan I am going to opt out of that for now.. but good luck to you.. I am sure you are going to have amazing results...

Everyone else where are you and how did you do this weekend... i was out of town most the weekend but I did really well on the eating.. I went and played tennis for 3 hours and it was so much fun. I had a good weekend. I stepped on the scale this am and it was down one lb... I was hoping for a bit more but at least it is a lb down.. Hope everyone is doing well..

[jelycoes]

Good afternoon ladies. I did fairly well last week. I was sick from Tues to Saturday so no workouts...but the eating went well. I actually saw 162 on the scale Sat morning. Then, of couse, the evil TOM struck out of nowhere (a week early) and by Sunday I was at 164 and by this morning my bloated up belly was back at 165. But that is with TOM so hopefully next Monday I can show I lost some lbs lost.

I did look around for some swimsuits this weekend.. haven't found THE ONE yet.
Hope all of you are doing well.

Hey ya'll - sorry I have been MIA. Have been swamped at work, and was having computer problems at home. ANYWHO- have lost 2 of my 3 pounds that I gained last week. So NOW, I have only 7 more to go by next weeks weigh in ! HA ! What a trip !!

Renee - I saw your thread on the body makeover thing, I think I might like to try it. I got on their website and did the quiz. It said I was a " B " body, so if you have the info and don't mind sending it, I'd like to see what it's all about.

Sherry - So glad you're doing better ! That 7 pound loss is awesome !! Keep it up Girlie !!

Amber - Chin up, a pound is a pound ! You always do great !!

And a big WOO HOO for you Jennifer !! Congrats on your loss ! Yeah, that TOM is an evil lil bastahd, but you'll do just fine... I haven't picked out a suit either, but I did order 3 bikini tops the other day for motivation.


OK, my goal for this week is to ride that exercise bike everyday for 8 miles - 4 in the morning, and 4 in the evening, take my pill consistantly and hope for those 7 pounds to be gone by next Wednesday !! Yeah, I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed - I'd be happy with any kind of loss !!

WHERE IS EVERYBODY ELSE - HAVE YA'LL BAILED ??? Holly, Marie, Dessie, Jenn, Kaitlyn, Dona, Raquel, Daqui ...... ANYBODY ??????

im here...ive been working my butt off yes....working out!!!
i started with a workout buddy about 3 weeks ago and we are up to 3 miles of walking/elliptical/treadmill with high incline per night (Monday - Thursday)!
Who would have thought I would be doing this!!

I feel great....no pounds gone...but maintaining so far...the pounds (or at least inches) should start melting off in no time (I wish by May 1st) but probably not that quickly...definite results by May 30th...I did lose 2 inches off of my waist since Jan 1st (per the database on yahoo)....everything else is same! [even the thighs, and i thought for sure id see a difference there from all the walking!)

Good to see everyone is still working hard! Good luck and 1 week until May 1st [next weigh-in]....will YOU be ready?

[gottadothis]

SOOO today some good news and not so good news...
I had a dr appt to check my thyroid levels and this is my family Dr who also gave me the phen in Oct and I had not been back to the dr since Jan becaues I had not ben taking the phen so felt there was no need for the monthly visits.... so today he walked in and said I am not giving you any more Phentermine... I was like HUH and he said you no longer meet the qualifications your your BMI is with in the normal range.. so there ya go.. I am normal...lol but cannot have phen anymore... so here is to doing it on my own... which I have been doing since Jan but now I have nothing to fall back on...
I am doing pretty good this week as far as exercise and eating.. hope to keep it up for the rest of the week it seems that the second half of the week si always harder for me...
Hope everyone is doing well.... Anipsed great job on your workout regimen... you will notice a difference and the weight might slowly come off because you are building a bit of muscle so keep measuring also.
Carmen great job on the weightloss how are you doing on the Soda and chocolate still staying away... keep up the great work...
I am still looking for a bathing suit.. have found a couple I like just cannot bring myself to buy one cause I will not wear it out in public with my stomach like it is.. so here is to dropping the spare tire.. so I can get a new bathing suit... Enjoy the rest of your week everyone...

[greekgirl]
