Losing Weight!

[Codress]

Congrats sushi on keeping up with it!

I totally am with you ladies tho if cake and what not is around it becomes MINE asap lol I'm doing pretty good so far tho. ^_^

[Echos]

Went for my first 3 mile run since I sprained my ankle. Dear lord that was hard. I did not succeed in doing the whole thing without walking but I ran for 2 miles today. I think I can be back at 3 miles in 2 weeks.

[RikkuGirl]

OMG I miss cake and cookies >_> I cheated a little bit but I have since gotten back on track with the diet. I find it's not as hard when you dont have other influences (Friends, children, etc.) to throw you off your food/diet game.

Echos!! I do that too! I am a stress cooker, I bake when I am upset or REALLY happy. lol Dont really bake when I'm just.. blah. lol. I'm so happy you have gotten better since your injury, sprains and breaks are terrible and NEVER fun. <3 You'll be back up to 3 miles in NO TIME! <3333

Sushi, you have way more will power than me... I almost always have to eat around kids... they hand me stuff and tell me to eat it! And they are just so darn cute... I have to! lol If I dont they look at me with those big baby eyes like... "Dont be rude and mean... eat the candy I just picked off the floor to give you!" LOL


Parties are the worst! They make me want to eat EVERYTHING... like today.. My boss got donuts >,......,> I could murder some donuts... lol BUT I RESISTED! Not today demons! LOL xD I keep staring them down like they owe me money... but I will get over it. lol I'll wait for my cheat day to dive into some gooey sugary crap. ^.^

I'm glad everyone is so motivated! I like being healthier and in shape and hearing what all you guys do does help to give ideas and inspiration. <3 thanks again for all the input I enjoy this thread a lot.

[Codress]

^_^ I have noticed that when you get imput from people you like and care for it helps more. (well atleast for me!) Any who..that sounds great you are getting betters and back to where you want to be Echos. I know you can do it and I BELIEVE!! ^_^

LOL Rikku you have more will power then you think I just have the cake or doughnuts LOL BUT I just take those points off for the day and eat veggies and so on laters to make up for it ^_^ I have been finding more and more 0 pts items and it helps. I found 0pts dressings!!! That was OMG!! LOL

I hope more and more people can get in with us all and keep the happy feelings going and help all with whatever they are going for be it weight and or etc stuff. ^_^

Like the guy on Hapyy Gilmore: "YOU CAN DO IT!" he hee

[RikkuGirl]

0 pt dressings?!?! O:

Like what? Help me out! All I want to eat is ranch. >_>;;;

It is probably the most fattening thing I eat lately! lol

[Sushidragon]

When it comes to salad dressing the only things I use are balsamic vinegar and/or lemon juice, sometimes with some herbs mixed in XD You can mix stuff with plain yogurt to get a much healthier dressing that's still nice and creamy, too. Instead of ranch I dip my dippable stuff in tzatziki sauce, which is soooooo yum <3 I buy giant things of it from Costco but it looks pretty easy to make!

LOL Rikku, the trick is to give them healthy stuff to eat too.. and treats that you don't want to eat yourself XD My kids don't eat a lot of junk and what they do get they generally mooch off of me. They always have to have their post-gymnastics Timbit, though XD

I started playing Ultimate Frisbee again! Yesterday was our second game and it totally kicked my butt D: I woke up with an achey back on Monday and after playing yesterday it now feels like I've pulled something in my chest/side as well. Lying down hurts but at least moving around is comfortable.. as long as I don't cough or sneeze D: When I'm feeling better I definitely need to do more sprints, I am soooo out of shape with those.

[RikkuGirl]

o: Oooooo thanks Sushi! I will Def. have to try that! x3 Looks yummy! I like salad dressings way too much >_>;;

Obviously I don't have kids... lol I wouldn't know what to feed one... 8I When I am with them I just give them whatever they want. lol I am a parents worst nightmare when it comes to kid health. If they want what I'm eating, sure. lol But normally they want sweets etc. and I cant say no to those cute faces O___<;;;

*Terrible influence*

FRISBEEE!!!! That shtuff is awesome!!! xD I used to play with some friends and it does work you out for REAL!! I woke up sore as wowie wowziers when I played on the regular. It works a lot. Just scary cause people sprain stuff often playing it. That is apart of why I had to stop, plus my friends who played with me moved. lol If it hurts to breathe or sneeze, it is probably a sprained rib (I had that, my sternum got bruised from a bear hug! O:). It will go away but takes time. <3 I just did a lot of napping. I hope it gets better for you Sushi! <3333333333

[Codress]

There are quite a few bubbies snd i gound. I have seen it at walmart and publix and they are called skinny girl dressings. When i get a sec i will try to get s pic to show you all. Hsvrnt tried them yet but the stats look nice and heck 0pts worth trying. Lol yeahh sudhi does sound goidy will see. Huggles and ty for info snd again for inspiration! ^_^

[Sushidragon]

Way to go Codress, that's awesome

I've been tracking my food (except for my two weekends in Vancouver) for 50 days now and I'm only down 4lbs, and I've been stuck at the same weight for a few weeks now :/ Ah well, I'm still keeping at it and my clothes seem to be getting looser so that's something.

[RikkuGirl]

CONGRATS SISSY!!!! That is amazing! I'm so proud of you! ^_^ You already know all my mushy love stuff, cause I told ya already xD

I'm so glad and proud, keep it up!!! I love ya!

@Sushi - 4lbs is better than 0! Dont be so hard on yourself, stress adds to it. Lift your mood a little and dont dwell on it so much. It's good to cheat every now and again. ^_^ You can do it! <33

[Codress]

Wtgggg sushi! Every little bit is goody! Stay positive!!!

How u doing on your stuff Rikku?

Anyone else? Lets keep the up beat going!!!!!!! ^~^

[RikkuGirl]

I'm evening out. Just working and doing subtle cardio. ^_^ Staying about the same and feeling just fine about it. Happy as a pig in mud.

I'm glad to hear you are getting so much success! Keep it up guys!

[Codress]

I'm happy to say that i'm now at 47.5lbs gone now!! ^_^

I'm having to get fittings for my work clothes and when i get some extra monies have to get some shorts/pants for everyday stuff my others keep falling off of me. LOL which is goody and bad some time. he hee

I hope everyone that is working on a goal is reaching it also. ^_^

HUGGLES to all ^_^

[Sushidragon]

Way to go Codress, that's awesome Sounds like you've really been staying on track!

I'm still losing slowly but steadily, I've gone down two pants sizes since May so I'm pretty happy about that!

[Bighorns]

Congrats Ladies. As long as you both feel good and going for your goal that is all that matters.

[RikkuGirl]

Go sissy GO!!! I'm so proud of you!!! You have beat my goal and then some!! ^_^ I'm so happy for you and I know you will get down to your goal and what you want to be! I cant wait till you are exactly where you want to be!

<3 Love you!

[Echos]

Fell off the wagon the last couple of months but I'm determined to get back into the swing of things. I've given myself Christmas as deadline to loose 10lbs. Anyone want to join me?

[Sushidragon]

I'm still at it! I'm down 22lbs since May with 8 more to go til I reach my goal, although I think when I get there I might keep going? Hoping to get there in January since I have a feeling the holidays are going to get in the way XD

[ElvenArcher]

You guys all seem to be doing great

I haven't joined in this thread but ... I just wanted to share.

Since I have moved I have lost about 10 pounds. I haven't done much different than before the move except I've had to haul hay eveyday and I haven't been eating as much. Not really any exercise... Though I need to start. Hahaha. I am very happy that I have lost some weight. Although not having the money to go buy smaller clothes is annoying.

[Codress]

Congrats elven! Something is ALWAYS better than nothing. WTG

I'm now st 50lbs gone! XD so ecxited and totally understand on the no monies for clothes. Lol im in the same boat.

Wtg to all! XD
