Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Sweet Liss ... don't let that scale torment you! It's probably just bloat, anyway. I'll bet if you stayed off the demon scale for awhile, you'd be pleasantly surprised the next time by a nice visit from the Wooshy Fairy That's why I joined the "Ongoing Scale Free Challenge" ... so that little mechanical devil wouldn't rule my life!

Anyhoo, a big HUG for the Birthday Girl! Whatever you do ... don't give up!!

Happy birthday MissLiss!!! Hope it's a great one!

p.s. don't you know it's illegal to weigh yourself on your birthday? Silly girl!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Thank you guys....giving up is not in my blood =) I am going to stick this out until one of two things happens. 1 - I die or 2 - I die....so lets hope for neither =) Actually I just need to chill out. I guess (or more like I know) that I have issues where I think some people in my life will love me more if there was less of me to love. And because I so badly want and need that love I'm just focused on the woosh fairy to visit me every waking moment. I posted what I've been eating, and someone pointed out (thank heavens) that my pepperoni has dextrose in it. Duh! I knew that I shouldn't eat anything that rhymes with gross....but I spaced it. So no more pepperoni for me. I'm making sure that at least 12-15 net carbs will come from my veggies and that I'm not eating anything low in fat. Take in my 100 or so ounces of water, and what else can I really do. So I'll do my best and just be grateful for any change going down...and even more grateful for amazing people like you all who help and support me =)

We'll be heading out for dinner soon. I'm going to have lobster and steak and salad. oh yeah...yummmy! Hugs for my halloween girls =)

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Happy Saturday all! How's your weekend going?

I ended up signing up at the gym last night. I took the tour and it's downright beautiful - everything is brand spankin' new, lots of equipments and great hours. Plus they have daycare so I can bring the baby (if I get brave enough to try that, it makes me nervous to be honest). The monthly fee isn't too bad, but man do they bite you on the startup fee! $200 down, yikes! I had a workout right after signing up, my first in months and months - boy am I out of shape! It felt good when I was done though.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Hey everybody!!!
Yesterday was a bad day for me.
Well, water intake was no good yesterday. Trying to up it today.
I forgot my vitamins yesterday, I remembered today.
My weight loss has stalled, TOM should be here on monday, so that could be why.
Hubs and I are going for a walk around the neighborhood later. The weather has been so nice.
We'll see what tomorrow brings!
I've decided Scary for halloween....<insert evil laugh>.

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Hi Bunny, Liss, Sassy, Tink and all our fellow Challengers!

Great on signing up with a gym, Bunny ... wow, that's some startup fee ... ouch! However, you can't really put a price tag on good health, is the way I look at it

How was the b'day dinner, Liss? Hope you relished every bite!

You're doing super great on the flights, Sassy! Way to go

Ah, Aunt Flo ... yes, I remember her well. Sympathies, Tink :P

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Sunday already? My husband (a retired baker) got a security license a few years ago and that's his retirement "hobby"; he's been doing it off and on since then ... I currently have the house to myself four evenings a week and I gotta say, I like the "alone time!" He's quite the character, my old man, and he really fills up a room with his energy ... I dearly love the guy but it sure is nice to have time to decompress ... too much together is not always such a great thing!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Another Whoosh....I'm liking these!!!!
2.6 lbs overnight. Since I've been stalled I've been weighing myself more than I should, but I guess it's a good thing.
Whoo-hoo!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Congrats on the visit from the Whoosy Fairy, Tink ... awesome!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Hello, fellow Challengers! Sitting here in a pair of size 12 jeans ... zipped up! Wowzer ... they've been in my closet so long they were practically mildewed :P I need another inch off the waist before they're really comfy, but at least they're not cutting off my circulation Have a good one, y'all!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Is there a Vitamin Challenge somewhere around? I noticed on Norah's and some of you have a Vitamin signature that I would like to participate so I can add that to my signature. Not only that but help me do it every single day, I forget sometimes to take them. This will help me a great deal. I need to take my vitamins everyday but I want momentum, too. You know, keep going like the "pink rabbit commercial". Keep going, and going, and going....!


It'll also help me to get off most of my meds. I've done it before, and I want to do it permanently. Can anyone or does anyone know/direct me to the "Time For Vitamins" challenge?
