Happy New Year's girls!
Let's try our best to stay focused and keep motivated. We can do this. We've already done it.... and then life happens and we gain some back.
Let's post daily so that we are held accountable for our actions and will hopefully get the scolding and/or encouragement from eachother to keep going.
Good luck.

It's too bad that you had such an awful experience with getting your Rx.... you'd think that your health care provider would be much more on the ball. That sucks. :(
My weight is 163.5 lbs t his morning. So, I've got to lose 2.0 lbs to be where I was on Friday. My luck I'll get back to that weight by Thursday only to pack up and head out to the states for your Thanksgiving! And there is another party happening on Saturday as well. This is the first time i'll be having Thanksgiving in the states. Our Thanksgiving is during the first weeks of October!
Hey... at least I get to have two turkey dinners this year! I love turkey!
A PD Day is actually 'professional development day'. it's a holiday for the kids (usually on a friday) and it's a day that the teachers have meetings/ workshops etc. This time it was for parent-teacher interviews as DS's report card came the week prior. I opted not to meet with the teacher since DS is doing quite well.
At the high school level.... I'm not sure what went on buy my girls also got the day off.
This is probably the first time we decided to do something fun with them. We also saw it as a treat for them for doing so well on their report cards.
lol.... I had to do a conversion to see what 70 degrees was! That's beautiful weather! Wow. I have to wait quite a bit before i see those numbers again! Or temperature today is 0 degrees Celsius......that would be 32 degrees Fahrenheit. AND... as I write this post, it has started to snow again.
The weather has been so crazy. We got 15cm of snow dumped on us in such a quick short time and it cause havoc on the streets as they were not salted. It took us by surprise. At least we didn't get the dumping that the areas north of us did or that Buffalo did! IT passed over us for once! WE got that same type of snow (as Buffalo) four years ago and people still talk about it. It was nuts! Anyways, the next day we got a few more cm's and it never stopped snowing!. The temperature was so cold... -5 degrees and it felt more like -17 degrees with the wind chill! Agh... we don't see those wind chill numbers until January!
And then, it warms up to 10-11 degrees and all the snow melts... yup... and then it rains fiercely. It finally stopped last night. Oh did I mention the howling winds??? It's been crazy for sure. Now the weather has gone back to somewhat normal temperatures and it's snowing... the nice fluffy kind. I'm thankful that it's not sticking on the ground!
The weather patterns are whacked for sure!
WE normally get the same kind of weather that Buffalo gets.... to keep it in context for you.
Where do you live? If you don't mind me asking....
I live in NJ. We are expecting snow tomorrow.. so that nice weather I told you about is gone. .But it was great while it lasted. .I really got to enjoy it for once. :).
I am happy that your girls are doing so well in school.. It was a great idea to take them out for the day to celebrate the good grades and the day off.. Making it a family day.
Where will you be in the states ???? I hope you don't have to travel to far.
Have a great holiday. Enjoy your turkey days.
That's pretty good, I guess.....
I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see where I'm at before I devour a turkey!
New Jersey, eh? I've been there... just once.... overnight....
and then the next day we headed over to Carlos Bakery. YUM!!! We stopped there because of the television show and it was 'on the way' to Connecticut! Yeah, right!
We;re heading out to Buffalo... it will be a three hour journey (or just under)... with the border wait, etc. Especially on Friday as it's Black Friday. WE;re going ot take the kids out of school for half of the day so that we can get there by a decent time... in time for the turkey. Let's hope.
I hope that you have a wonderful holiday! I don't know if you'll get a chance to post as it's tomorrow.... so, either way.... have a good one.
We woke up to a dusting of snow.... and it's still snowing! It looks rather nice and peaceful. NOTHING like it did last week. Now THAT was crazy! Seems like a dream and like it happened so long ago.
Lol... it seems rather funny that we're heading out to celebrate the harvest when we have snow all over the ground! You guys need to celebrate it earlier!
Well... I'm happy since I woke up this morning to the weight of 162.5 lbs. That means I dropped one pound overnight and I wasn't even trying! I ate so much for lunch (we had company sleep over) and I was too full to eat anything for dinner. In fact, I ate a HUGE bowl of popcorn at 11;30 last night. I mean huge. Like I was almost done the entire bag or Orville Redden.^*&( (I don't know how to spell his name)
I'm glad.
Have a wonderful day and hopefully you didn't overdo it with the turkey and all the trimmings!
Ok your next post explains you are at 162.5 lbs. ok. 1 lb that's a wonderful loss. good for you. How was your Thanksgiving? Did you make it there w/o to much trouble? When are you coming home?
I've not been on DS much lately. had problems with my computer and internet service. I cleaned all my cookies, Hubby did updates on software and then he did a virus search.. Not it seems to be posting what I'm writing. Before I would type something and hit send .... ONLY TO GET ERROR IN CONNECTION.. OR YOU DON'T HAVE INTERNET SERVICE. This has been going on for a few weeks.
Hope you are having fun this weekend and continue to lose more weight.
My weight is basically staying the same for now.
If only it were true... ahhhh.
Nope. Not even close. I,of course, went up in weight over the weekend. We got back last last night and ate fried fast food on the way and while we were shopping.
My weight is 165.5 lbs as of this morning. I went up three pounds. Hopefully, I can lose it fast... hopefully most of it is water retention. Let's hope.
We had a great Thanksgiving. It was nice to 'hang' out with family. Then there was another party the next day and we got to see more family. We went shopping during the day before the party. It was exhausting.
Let's hope I can lose.
Anyways... I dropped 1.5 lbs overnight! Thank goodness. There may be hope again that I might reach that 161.5 lbs I achieved just almost two weeks ago. I hope to get there soon so that I may be able to continue to lose more weight.
How are you doing?
I guess I'm losing all that extra water and extra weight that I put on. I'm glad that I can lose it so easily and that motivates me.
I hope your computer is up and running and that you'll be able to chime in here agian.
I also hope that you are either staying the same or losing weight.
This is a hard time of the year to lose weight. Too many gatherings/parties and too much good food.
I'm doing ok. finished the antibiotics. spent the day at dr's. went with friend for her mammogram then to my dr. cause i had a rash. it was nothing she said. she also , is doing another test to see if i still have an urinary tract infection.
so far internet is ok. however, my computer seems to freezes up on DS sometimes, very strange.
I expect to hear you lost some weight next post. :).
I maybe , out of range for a bit. Not sure .. if this computer keeps freezing i may just shutdown and try another day. take care. hugs
What?????
I am now at 162.0 lbs!!!!!! Yay....
I was actually at this point last Friday before heading out to Buffalo for Thanksgiving. Agh. It's bittersweet... on one hand I'm happy to lose it but on the other, it takes this long just to lose it and be where I wanted to be so that I can lose more!
I guess I should be happy that i'm losing it at least. And I'm not really trying... I ate waaaaay over what i should have for the last two days. I'm playing with fire and I better stop it or I will be sorry.
If I manage to lose a half pound by tomorrow, I'll be where I was two Friday's ago. Dumb weekends... well not really.... I guess it's the weekends when i'm away for all of it and not just for one day or one overnight.
Current weight: 162.0
Goal ?: 140.0
22.0 lbs to go
I just saw your post as I finished sending my post. I'm glad to see you.
Yes, I did lose more weight... and happy about it.
However, I'm not too thrilled to hear about all of your ailments! What's going on??? It seems like you are going to the dr a lot and having to be on antibiotics... or is it the same course of antibiotics from last time?
You need to take care of yourself first then you can worry about the weight loss. Your health comes first.
Remember when I was getting my dizzy spells/ weakness? I didn't care about the weight loss then -- I just wanted to feel stronger and healthier before i jumped in.
As it is... I never really jumped in.... I kind of frizzled in.... I didn't do my detox tolose oodles of weight first.. I just started to watch what i was doing one day and continued to do most of it the next day and was happy wiht the results I was getting. That motivated me to continue, but I didn't continue full force.
Great things happen when you actually weigh and measure your food... ALL your food for the day...
Great things happen when you actually eat healthy and eat from ALL the food groups....
Great things happen when you don't overeat a particular food group and stay on your plan....
I dropped 1.5 lbs overnight!!!! Yippee!!!
I am so thrilled I can't stand it. I want to shout out from the mountain tops... I just don't have any mountains around here :(
I'm extactic to say the least.
Current weight: 160.5 lbs
Goal weight: 140.0 lbs
20.5 lbs to go
**I'm actually 1.0 lb less than I was two weeks ago. I haven't seen this number in a LONG time. And I hope to say 'goodbye' to it soon.
150's here I come.
I went up slightly to 161.5... I guess the late night pizza didn't help. Ouch
Today I went down slightly... I am now at 161.0 lbs. So, I'm up by 0.5lb of my lowest weight.
i hope to get back down to 160.5 and beyond! lol
Here's hoping to a good week for both of us.
I know you'll chime in as soon as your computer issues are cleared.
Take care.
Wow... I dropped 1lb overnight!!!! What???? I'm super excited and super pumped. This is the motivation that I needed all along! I needed to see the weight coming off steadily so that my efforts were not in vain.
I can't wait for the scale to tip down into the 150's... and it's only a matter of time and patience and sticking to the plan.
Current weight: 160.0
Goal weight: 140.0
**20.0 lbs to go
Let's hope all the gatherings and food over the next few weeks don't derail my efforts too much! Its too bad that I was not that motivated sooner (as I would have been closer to my goal) but, hey, you can't force yourself to do something that you are not quite ready for.
I hope all is well with you and that you are rested and over your infection. You have to get off of those antibiotics!!!!
Now scream and jump up and down for joy!!!! Do the 'I did it' dance and rejoice!
Yup.. I dropped more weight overnight. It feels good and I can see a 'shape' coming to my midriff again. lol
My clothes are fitting better (still somewhat tight, mind you) but, nonetheless, BETTER!
I dropped 1.0 lbs overnight!
Current weight; 159.0 lbs
Goal weight: 140.0 lbs
**19.0 lbs to go
