I checked my bank this morning so far no checks, but thats ok I wasn't expecting it to be deposited because when the lady did it she said for some reason it wasn't allowing her to direct deposit so thats ok. I'm just waiting now for the place to open and call me telling me they have my check they better gosh darnit lol.

I didn't exercise yesterday or the day before but today I have a lot of cleaning to do befoe hubby gets home so I'm going to try to workout after all thats done, if not then my cleaning will be my exercise. I'll have to jam to the music while cleaning

. The kids love it lol.

Well I guess I better go get started

Have a great day everyone you all are doing so great and inspire me every day. I think of you guys when I don't feel like exercising!

**texasbeauty1982** · February 12th, 2010, 10:05 AM

Ok, so I must have the most awesomest bf ever becuz he just picked me and my boys up and took me to work and took the boys to work with him (cuz his work is cool like that

) How sweet is that?? hehe Anyways, It is bad out here...We NEVER get snow! I mean Come on! Its freakin Texas!! lol Yea, the panhandle can get snow here and there but not below that!! So they originally said we would get maybe 3" of snow, but no..we got over
6"+ of snow. Ppl out here dont know how to drive in this crap so they become idiots and cause major problems..I was afraid to drive in it and since my bf has a 4x4, he came and got me...I would have called into work today but nobody would be here until 9am and I wouldnt know if we werent going to close until then either and if we werent closed, then I wouldnt have gotten paid, so I came in anyways

Oh well...we shall see if ppl start coming in to work in the next hour! lol

As far as my weight goes...TOM has decided to grace me this morning..Normally I just spot here and there, but no..not this time...Its a full blown TOM for some reason lol So, with that said, I am UP .2lbs today...Its gotta be becuz of TOM becuz I did 70min of dvd's and 50mins of running yesterday and ate right too so oh well...It will be down soon enough...

**ryleighsmommy15** · February 12th, 2010, 10:10 AM

Hello and Good morning.... Well Finally after being at a stand still, I was down .9 today!!!! That makes me happy even though I know I am not going to make it to 185.9 by tomorrow lol. Close but not there. So Im standing at 186.7

Alright I got cryin babies. Have a great day ladies!

**shawntaedaylin** · February 12th, 2010, 11:48 AM

Morning Ladies! Im so glad that its Friday

I still have to figure out what Im getting my hubby for vday, any ideas? And the snow is BLUH , we have had snow all dang month here Im ready for the summer! You are all doing great with your weightloss!!

Honey- I would call into play with my kiddos in the snow to, thier reactions for the first time is so cute! My 2 yr old and 1 old were cruisin around in thier princess powerwheel, then when they would get stuck the 1 yr old which is a whole 17lbs would get out and push while 2 yr old 36lbs stayed in . I had to laugh.

Tosh- I so do buying clothes in smaller size for a motivator but with the weight continuing to come off it was long I got to wear them before they were to big. So I decided to get a Bikini that I really liked, took a pic of me in it. And have one on the fridge and also the front of my wallet so that I have to see it before I can get any kind of food, it has changed my mind a few times

Sandie- Yea 5 kids def keep me busy busy, you would think that
I wouldnt weigh anything lol

Well I am off to do some house work, then homework, and exercise! I cant wait for my vday weigh in I hope that I am atleast 172......Ladies have a great day!

**kartersmomma84** · February 12th, 2010, 01:24 PM

Oh my goodness! i have been reading for about a week now. I wish i would have found this site/thread months ago! well actually a year ago. you guys are soo inspiring! i love it! im about to start phen. but i also read alot about hcg, so i also just ordered that! either way im getting skinny. I am sick of being uncomfortable in my own skin. well i will be checking back in soon! you girls have a great day!

**DimeDiva** · February 12th, 2010, 02:43 PM

Hey Ladies,

It's a snow day for me today too (WOW, in Mississippi!) So, NO WORK FOR ME!!!!!

Therefore, I have no excuse not to exercise today. I already did a little on the Wii this morning and I'll do some more after I finish up with some homework.

Tex- Yea, I don't think you went back far enough, k?

Honey- I want my booty to be more firm as well. What exercising have you been doing for that? I've been doing squats, running/jogging and lunges. Can't really think of anything else.

I hope everyone continue to stay on track and have an excellent wk end. I have to go to the Doc and weigh-in tomorrow morning, so wish me luck! *fingers crossed*

**JustaRandomGirl** · February 12th, 2010, 04:36 PM

Got a good 3 mile run in today at lunch. Sweet! I haven't eaten lunch yet, only some breakfast and mid morning snack. I am really not hungry at all. I wish to the heavens that most days were like this...

I REALLY need to work on my speed.

**christykoeb21** · February 12th, 2010, 04:47 PM

I got my check in!! Woohoo! We are going to get my truck tomorrow! Thank god!

Boys are napping and the house is pretty much cleam except for the bathroom and my room which I'll do later. I also need to fold and put away more laundry. My husband comes home tonight. I will probably exercise some today too.

**ryleighsmommy15** · February 12th, 2010, 05:40 PM

Kartersmamma- Welcome to the site. There are a bunch of great people on this site.

Also becareful with the HCG. A few of us on here have tried it in the past and once we went off we all gained are weight back and then more. So just a heads up!!! Best of luck to you!

I'm going to get my hair done tonight, I sure hope it turns out cute

I did workout a little today since i know tonight i wont get a chance to. I did the Biggest Loser cardio and I did a 30 min jog on the wii. Im hoping to get in one more jog.

**DoNiSe2009** · February 12th, 2010, 06:28 PM

been having computer issues and havent been able to get on here

hope everyone is doing good and has a good weekend

not much to report here i am still stayin about the same weight as before

**ninic010386** · February 12th, 2010, 07:58 PM

Hey ladies!!! Well I couldn't resist getting on the scale...to see if I am on track to meeting my Tuesday weigh in goal...and I am down 6.8lbs!!! Woo hoo!!! I am only 1.2lbs away from my goal for the week. Hope everyone is well!

Honey* thanks for the well wishes, I really appreciate it!

**Krys** · February 12th, 2010, 09:32 PM

Good evening ladies! Had the day off for Lincolon's Birthday today (Illinois thing). So I got to hang out with my little girls all day. The good news is the scale finally budged this morning! It was -1.5 for the day after being stuck the same for FOUR days!!! So that makes me -3.5 for the week. I am OK with that, but I think I could be working a little harder. I have been doing the treadmill stuff at night, but haven't been doing any videos in a few weeks.

I have been going through some emotional stuff lately, I can't believe how much stress and worry makes me want to EAT!!! But I have been good

and trying with all I have to stick to this lifestyle change.

Well, I gotta get my girls in bed soon....so I will check in again later.

KRYS

**ethansmommy23** · February 12th, 2010, 10:38 PM

i have been slacking about going to the gym terribly this week!! i have had so much going on.. tomorrow kaylee's pageant is at 10 then my niece's is at 1 so after that i'm going to have to rush home and clean my house bc my other niece is coming over at 4 to keep my kids overnight bc we're going out for v-day. my house is a MESS too so hopefully i can get it all done that quick. i'm going to not stress over the weekend though and just start back strong on monday!

**Tosh322** · February 12th, 2010, 11:01 PM

good evening ladies!!

im so happy today, I have lost my first 20 lbs.........woohoo! Im not going to meet my valentines goal it doesnt look like,,,but thats ok. Tomorrow will be 1 mth I have been doing this and 20lbs in a month is good with me!! I told myself and hubby that when i hit my 1 mth mark I would eat something i had been craving this whole time....so since we will be so busy this tomorrow, hubby made homemade pizza tonight and i had one small slice of supreme and it was wonderful!! at lunch we went to this place called chabucas its a buffet style thing at lunch but they have really good grilled fish. I ate the grilled fish and some salad but i also had a small helping of the mashed potatoes and a couple of bites of some pasta and fried shrimp. I really didn't do too bad, this is my first time to cheat since I started so Im hoping that it wont mess me up too bad tomorrow. Its TOM also so im sure that will factor in. But what ****s is that i feel sooo guilty for cheating today, i had no clue i would feel this bad for eating something i had been craving. oh well now i just get to decide if it was worth it or not....lol. oh and i totally did not drink all my water today either...ive never done that either since i started, so i may only have my 20lb loss for a day...lol we will see. The more I sit here and type this the madder I am getting at myself...ugh!!! stupid food!

**SandieB** · February 13th, 2010, 11:11 AM

So for motovation I signed up for a 5K the first week in May... for my 27th Bday. I hope I dont regret this! haha.

Everyone is doing great! I joined a challenge to work out for 60min at least 5 times a week. Its kicking my butt, but Ive stuck to it. I already see a difference in the past few days just by dedicating myself to a full 60 min.

It feels so good to be getting back into shape again!

**texasbeauty1982** · February 13th, 2010, 11:30 AM

TOSH- Dont beat urself up! U told urself that when u hit that ONE MONTH MARK that u would have ONE yummy day and u did! ME and RYRY made this deal that we were NOT allowed to go out to eat or eat poorly until V-day and well, thats tomorrow and although I DONT want to see my weight go up, Im not going to stress too bad over it. My bf wants to go to Olive Garden so I think I will still eat my salad, but I will have my yummy margarita and some breadsticks too. Sometimes, eating bad can help kick-start ur system into high gear and keep it going so down look at it as a bad thing..ur gorgeous and doing good!

So, I took the Magnesium Citrate last night and to make a long story short, it did the job! lol I lost 2lbs today already and its STILL working! lol That means I have lost 3lbs so far this wk

and that I made my V-day goal!! Im now at 217.5lbs!! woo hoooo!! I am going to do the magnesium citrate every other wk now so I can keep my system clean...Its gross to think that I had 2lbs of toxic waste just backed up inside me..ughhh gross lol NOT ANYMORE THOUGH!! lol

Keep up the good work ladies, Oh and one more thing, I highly recommend doing the mag citrate if u wanna help speed up the poo process lmao!

**DimeDiva** · February 14th, 2010, 01:47 AM

Hey Ladies,

I went to the Doctor today and I weighed in and lost 4 lbs! I didn't make my VDay goal, but I am SO excited that I've finally gotten over my hump and know it for sure. He told me I need to increase my excersise, so I'm working on that. Had a pretty good workout today and made my "healthy" groceries so I'm ready to get these lbs off! I've lost a total of 25.5 lbs since I've been on Phen. EXCITEMENT!!!!

**texasbeauty1982** · February 14th, 2010, 10:54 AM

My bf ended up needing to work today so we went out for dinner last night instead of today. We had mexican becuz Olive Garden was SLAMMED! I didi GORGE, but I didnt limit myself either so I am UP 1.3lbs and Im OK with that...That puts me at 218.8lbs now...My weight updates are on mondays so I still have today to kick butt exercising and get some of that weight off

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!

**ryleighsmommy15** · February 14th, 2010, 11:20 AM

Well.. We went out last night for valentines day to this REALLY good italian resturant. And wow did I over eat lol I had a shrimp pasta and brushetta mmm it was so good. then we went bowling and out drinking.. Yeah I over did it big time. Then to top it off we got home at 2am and ordered Gyros lol... Ugh. What was I thinking or lack of thinking... So yep Im UP 1.6 lbs today. But Im okay with that. Hope everyone else has a little more control then i had lol.

**Tosh322** · February 14th, 2010, 12:53 PM

Happy Valentines day!!!
Tex and rye Just like yall told me, don't worry about it....its one day to enjoy and it will come right back off. I went out last night too and had a few drinks but its ok. monday I am right back at the grind again....I think a few days off to enjoy is what i needed. i stayed the same from my splurge the other night. and today my husband said he has some sort of plans for us at 530, so if that is dinner then i will eat...lol.
hope everyone has a great day with the ones they love!! we are off to take a ride in our new boat...its gonna be cold but hubby hasnt got to take it out yet so i since the hi is 60 today i couldnt say no! lol!

**ryleighsmommy15** · February 14th, 2010, 06:22 PM

Well so far the magnesium has not done its job. I was hoping to need to stay close to the bathroom today and that I would be feeling not as bloated and blocked up but nope not yet. I guess we will see what happens.

**shawntaedaylin** · February 14th, 2010, 06:30 PM

Happy V-day everyone!!!
When I got home last night my hubby had me a candle lit dinner it was so romantic, and he cooked all by himself! So I had to eat everything..... I don't know if that hurt my weigh in for the vday challenge or not but I weighed in at 172.9 so thats 7lbs of the 10 and I am happy with that

So now on to the easter challenge I'm so ready!

Oh and question I'm looking for a new job does phen show up on drug test and if so what as, so I can let them know in advance......

Thanks Ladies!

**christykoeb21** · February 14th, 2010, 07:53 PM

We went and got my truck yesterday and was gone all day except for like an hr so yes we ate out all weekend :/. Im still at 140.2 tho but ive been trying to drink as much water as I can to help bring the weight down. Hubby and I played the Wii a little too. Probably won't get in any exercise. My wii says I weigh 136 though which would be nice but I know its wrong.

**christykoeb21** · February 15th, 2010, 10:09 AM

Ugh I am 142 today.

Very very disappointing but I know its all my fault
So Im kicking my butt this week. Probably wont be meeting my birthday goal. Sigh

**miss61b** · February 15th, 2010, 12:12 PM

Hey, I'm new and I just want to say you guys ROCK! You all are doing so good. Don't beat yourself up about endulging for V-Day. You guys deserve it! It is so hard to try and lose weight but you're doing it and you should treat yourself every now and then.

Just any bit that you do is worth it as long as you keep trying. We have to do it not only for ourselves but for our children and families. ANYWAYS... I'm 38, just started Phen on Sat. Weighed in at 193.4 when I started and I am loving Phen. I have to force myself to eat, and I can honestly say I have never felt better. I have more energy, a clear mind, and a better attitude. I just worked out today for the first time in about 8 years. WHEW! I don't know if this is possible but I weighed myself after my workout and I have already lost 6 lbs? Scale says 187.6? Must be water weight? Either that or I was really eating before the Phen! Well, I won't drag this out anymore. I'll get back atcha later.

**christykoeb21** · February 15th, 2010, 12:16 PM

So I took one of my phen today (havent in about two weeks because i was almost out and had no way to get the pharmacy) and let me just say I can feel it today lol. I don't know what it is. Im thinking it might be because I didn't wait two hours to eat. I waited about 30 mins I think. Weird. I've never felt the phen work even though I knew it did. I'm also in an insanely good mood. I should get up and go clean and put this energy and good mood to use. (Maybe a lot has to do with finally not being so damned stressed and having a good weekend too)

Where is everyone? Ok I better go before I scare everyone off with my jitterness haha

**texasbeauty1982** · February 15th, 2010, 12:18 PM

Ok so the magesium stuff only works for like 12hrs and then NOTHING else will come out after that...wtf...I drank MAJOR water yesterday, did 2 dvds and 2 30min runs for a total of 956calories burned and even talked myself out of getting fast food for dinner, and STILL GAINED another 1.1lbs what gives man!! lol ugh I wouldnt have turned down tha fast food if I KNEW I was gonna gain anyways! lol Oh well, my morning has ****ed tho. The kids bus broke down half way thru its route so they had to get another bus on the route so the bus was 25min LATE picking up my kids and therefore, making ME late to school...have I ever mentioned how much I HATE mondays??

Anyways, Im playing hookie from work today becuz I dont feel good at all really and I have to get an eye exam done too. SO I figure that I can use the rest of the day to workout really good..

**shawntaedaylin** · February 15th, 2010, 12:38 PM

Morning Ladies!
Hope you all had a great weekend/Vday!
Does anyone know if phen shows up on drug test and if so what as?

**JustaRandomGirl** · February 15th, 2010, 01:14 PM

I don't think that it does.

**Krys** · February 15th, 2010, 01:19 PM

Good morning ladies!

I am home on a snow day today

Not much snow on the ground, but the roads were really icy. My girls have both been really sick the last few days...thats why I have been MIA. My two year old has an ear infection and the baby has an upper respitory infection...so it has been a rough couple of days.

Hubby and I went out for Valentines day last night AND it was my nephew's birthday. So, I had Italian food and birthday cake. Needless to say I was up 1.2 today

But, I guess it could be worse!

TEX: I wonder if the Mag Cit dehydrated you? It could be water weight???

KRYS

**ryleighsmommy15** · February 15th, 2010, 03:23 PM

Well I weighed in this morning and I lost .9 of the 1.6 I gained over Vday. It was worth it tho. So hopefully the scale will be lower tomorrow. ugh. Im gonna bust *** today working out tho.

so I only lost 1.6 lbs this week. makes me mad but next week will be better.

**Honeybaby** · February 16th, 2010, 10:12 AM

I have missed you guys! I have been sooooo busy this past week that I haven't really been able to come on here much. I just wanted to say hi and that I hope you are all doing so well. I'll catch up on posts a bit later, but wanted to pop my head in for a second. I haven't lost any weight this past week, just back down to 206lbs after gaining 2lbs weekend before this last weekend. So, a bit depressing, but I haven't really been exercising that much either. I've been runing around a lot and rolling up snow balls when we had that 14" of snow over here in Texas. Anyhow, I'll catch you wonderful ladies later!

Welcome to all the new people. We are delighted to have you guys on this journey!!!

**texasbeauty1982** · February 16th, 2010, 10:29 AM

Yea baby! All that hard work paid off after all yesterday cuz I am down 2lbs

Down to 218lbs right now...So Im gonna bust a** this week becuz I wanna get below 215lbs by Monday...Oh, and I had my FIRST compliment on my weight loss this wknd. My ex-mother-in-law said that I looked like I had dropped alot of weight! And asked how much and stuff. SHe said I was looking very good so it was NICE to finally receive recognition for my hard work...I am getting so CLOSE to ONDERLAND...I cant wait cuz that'll be 50lbs gone forever.

Keep up the good work ladies!

**ryleighsmommy15** · February 16th, 2010, 11:23 AM

So I didnt make my Valentines day goal but I was only a few days off. This moring I weighed in and am down 1.5 lbs from yesterday

Putting me at 185.8! Like Sara I am gonna bust butt this week and I would love to see the scale say 179.9 but I would be happy with 183!

Everyone is doing soooo great! keep up the great work!

**christykoeb21** · February 16th, 2010, 11:43 AM

I did good yesterday til dinner haha! We had pizza. oops. haha I'm down to 141.4 though so I guess its not horrible. I'm drinking water like crazy though and I'll exercise again today at naptime. I actually need to eat breakfast before I forget haha. I'm motivated again and it feels so nice to be able to work towards my goal again. I think it's just because all my stressors have been taken away for now. Woohoo! So nice.
