Weigh day! Where is everyone??

I know, I know I am late this morning too much running around. Anyways I lost 5 pounds! Yefreakinwhooooooooooooha! I already knew it, I can always feel when I lose weight and I am a fast loser. But last week 232 and today 228 and I didn't exercize at all LOL If I really put my mind to it I can lose so good. Now to keep on track this week. Last night I was sooooo depressed ...just everything was getting to me, the kids were both crying I was overwhelmed I was hating DH for being out to sea, crying and all and ended up ordering a pizza with bacon from dominos and I still lost the 5 and didn't even have a BM today (TMI)

Jennifer you are doing great and you already know how the scale treats you, if it did that to me I would have gave up long ago, luckily for me If I be strict it comes off without exercize! Good Luck to all for this week. Also Shauna forgot to weigh today, she was late starting this morning as well.

WOW that is a great loss! Sorry that you are so stressed. My husband might as well be out to sea and I will leave it at that. It can be overwhelming to take care of two when you are used to only one little one. It does get much easier as they grow up. Reagan entertains Riley at least 50% of the time now.

Good luck this week. I hope your scale does a repeat next Monday and that my scale takes a lesson from your scale.

Well Jennifer I am pretty much a no non sense controlling kind of girl so if my DH was actually here and didn't help me it would definately NOT be in his best interest! LOL

I am 155 this week - up another .2 pounds from last week.  At this point, I am happy to maintain; when Joe's homecoming draws nearer, I will los some more; I know it. 

.2 isn't bad if you were not trying to hard. I'm not saying you weren't but if you were not then that isn't bad. That doesn't sound right but I know you know what I mean.

When does Joe come home again? I was thinking March. We will both have to buckle down around New Years. I'm not sure what more I can do but I'm hoping to be as skinny as you are by New Years!!

Yes, I know what you mean - lol!  I was not trying hard.  It seems I try hard on the days I work and not so much on the days I am home, so it kind of evens out.

Joe should hopefully be home at the beginning of April, provided nothing goes awry.  He will be home for my 40th birthday, which is special since we won't be celebrating his or Charlotte's together.

Yep, I am thinking the New Year is a good time to start buckling down big time!  You are doing awesome.  Look at it this way, you are already as "skinny" as I am because I carry all mine below the waist, although jeans hold it in pretty well.  Your legs are to die for!!  I always wished I could have legs like yours, but it will never be - at least not without plastic surgery (and even then...).  You will be in the 150s before you know it.  Hopefully we will both be at our own goals when we meet up in September!!  Can't wait! 

Well on a good note, I know why I didn't lose...I got my period an hour ago LOL. I lose while on it but maybe I am bloated.

I have a few planned "calorie overage" days planned around the holidays but they will be the day after I work the gym and get a good 2 hour work out in. At the rate I am losing, I should be about your weight right around New Years. We will be 2 hot 40 year olds at the mall in September LOL.

Thanks for the leg compliment. They are ok below the knees but above they are a mess!

Bummer, sorry the scale did not show happier results for you but no gain is still good and maintaining is good as well....you could have a big loss next week....you are doing so well and have more commitment than me for sure!

I wouldn't mind so much if the scale stayed the same if I hadn't done almost 8 hours of exercise and nothing to show for it. I know in the long run it will come off and I sure do love when the scale goes down but it is very depressing not to even go down an ounce when I worked so hard.

My husband said that I should be happy and not get upset when I don't lose. I asked him how he would feel if you worked an 8 hour day and then didn't get paid. That is how it feels to me. I really TRY not to let it bother me but I can't help it. I'm so hungry today and I know it is because I am angry that I didn't lose.

Okay...this is my 3rd and final try to post this...I keep getting kicked off the internet!  I weigh 102 this morning...it is rather frustrating as last Tuesday I weighed 104.  I guess it is okay, as I am maintaining anywhere between 98 and 104 pounds..If I can keep this up, no reversal surgery for me.  If I drop to 95, then I have no choice but to have surgery.  So lets all keep our fingers crossed, swing chickens, and pray pray pray that I do not have to undergo yet another surgery!

Congrats on all of your losses, and Jenn, your loss is coming...I predict 8 pounds next week :)
