Hi Kim

I bet that you really enjoyed wearing that blouse. It is really nice when things fit better - or indeed fit when they havent fitted in a long time.

It is a lot better to be "so close and yet so far away" than just "so far away".

With the effort that you put into your project - you will be there very soon.

Take care
Love
Margaret

45 minutes on ARC TRAINER at "weight Loss" mode or at least that's the training I chose, at level 4-5 and it said after I was done I completed 2 miles and 550 calories burned. I was WHOOPED!!!!

45 minutes on the ArcTrainer? That's awesome! I love that thing, it always kicks my ass and really torches those calories. I am currently having withdrawal from the AT this week. Sean is out of town so I haven't been able to go to the gym at all. I think I'm gonna get a two hour session of working out in on Saturday morning after he's back. I do weights at night after the baby's asleep. It's been too dark to go running after I get home from work which sucks because I LOVE running after work. It relaxes me. I'll get backon track when he gets home.

Enjoy your afternoon!

YOUR ARE 100% right, My glass is HALF FULL, what do I have to complain about right??? I'm almost there, I wonder if almost counts as months or years. LOL LOL Just kidding, I'm very happy to just be living and able to walk that's the real TRUTH!!!

Yeah, I try to shake it up at the gym and use different equipment every week, I get bored just using the elliptical or the bike, I love the ARC trainer, thanks to Sheryl telling me about it, I had no idea that's what it was, then I used it and now I'm hooked. I'm one of those girls that pulls her hair back in a pony, throws on a Doo-Rag and sweats until my T-shirt is soaked, that's the only way I feel like I've done any good. Is that nasty or what?? I look around at all the other girls, and NEVER do I see any of them with a drenched shirt, I almost feel like one of the guys sometimes. I also use the Stair Climber, which I must say are ALWAYS available, hmmm wonder why that is. LOL I have my Group Jam class tonight, then 30 minutes of circuit training. I always love Wed workout.

I think it's great that you workout when your baby is in bed, that's dedication for you!! I admire that!!! I bet you miss your H too, my first husband was military, that's how we met, he was Navy, well he was gone often and it was hard, so I feel for all those ladies out there married to military men & women it's hard I know. HUGS!
Kim
PS, just in case your wondering, I'm on my second marriage and LAST! LOL LOL I got married really young the first time, and was married for 10 years.

 

[Bellaryna]

Kim I have missed getting over here so much!!!
I have been getting so frustrated with the forum and not being able to get on. That when I can finally get thru, the most time I ever get to do is update my stuff before it goes on the fritz again.
Didn't want you to think that I forgot about ya!
It sounds like everything is going smashing for you. Man to not only be down in weight but sizes too! I can't wait for that. Currently the size I am wearing is the same size that I was wearing for the last 10 years. When I started this journey I was wearing a TIGHT 20 and now I am down to a semi- lose 18. Not lose enough yet but slightly noticable.
So when I finally go to a 16 it will be awesome! Cuz' that right there was high school for me.
Keep up all that hard work girl!
YOU ROCK!!!
And thanks for stopping by to cheer me on. It means the world to me!

PS, just in case your wondering, I'm on my second marriage and LAST! LOL LOL I got married really young the first time, and was married for 10 years.

My motto is "if your deodorant hasn't given up, then you haven't worked hard enough!" I kick my own ass at the gym and smell pretty ripe by the time I leave. This and being soaked from sweat lets me know I worked it.

This is my second and last marriage too. I too married at the young age of 18. I was pretty much forced into it by my mother and aunts because they THOUGHT they knew what "was best". I was a "pleaser" then so I did it. I hated him from day one and just waited for the right time to leave him. I moved hours away from him ans my entire family. It was the best thing I ever did. I was independently successful before I met my current H so I knew I could make it wothout a man. BUT he is the man of my dreams and I have been nuts about him from the day I met him years ago. Life couldn't be better. Except for this extra weight bullshit!!

Enjoy your group jam class tonight!!

 

[Miss Ladybug]

LMAO!!! I feel exactly the same way AMY!!! Sometimes, it just takes a second try to get it right. LOL~ Hey, I took care of myself and two little boys for a very, very long time, and during that time bought my first house, on my own, my parents never had money, so I was on my own from day one, and I just made it happen, I'll never say it was easy, but I will say, If I can do it, ANYONE out there can do it!! I left my first H, with 2 suitcases of clothes mainly the boys and NOT a DIME in my wallet, moved to another state and started from scratch....

You know, MAYBE that's why I'm so positive about my weight loss, I struggled to get what I wanted in my life, it took time, but I got there, and well this is no different, I know I'll make it, it just will take time!!

Bell,
Don't you worry about it at all!! I know your very busy, and I know this website has been insane so far this week, so Don't you even worry about it!!
I'm just so happy that you are finally getting to onederland and working so hard towards making it even lower, You should be very proud of yourself, it's a slow process, and look you have already passed me in the pounds. CONGRATS!

We really have alot in common. I left the first H at the age of 21. I worked two jobs with 80 hours a week to buy a house and another piece of rental property all by my damn self. When I married my current H, I sold the properties and made $25,000 in profit. I enjoyed being a bachelorette but I love my current life much more. If you want something you have to work your ass off for it.

 

[Miss Ladybug]

YES WE DO AMY!! I love all the ladies on this website, you are all TOTALLY COOL in my book!!

 

[Curvie Girlie]

And there is NOTHING wrong with adoption!!!! YOU GO GIRL!! ALL children need love and a good home, so I'm all for it!! My H is adopted and he is wonderful!

I'm one of those girls that pulls her hair back in a pony, throws on a Doo-Rag and sweats until my T-shirt is soaked, that's the only way I feel like I've done any good. Is that nasty or what?? I look around at all the other girls, and NEVER do I see any of them with a drenched shirt, I almost feel like one of the guys sometimes.

Me too. I sweated so much yesterday my KNEES were dripping, my FOREARMS were soaked, ewwwww it really grosses me out. But I'm still not as bad as the men in the back who fling sweat with each punch and kick. (BTW I heart them, they look up to me and consider me a badass )

You know, MAYBE that's why I'm so positive about my weight loss, I struggled to get what I wanted in my life, it took time, but I got there, and well this is no different, I know I'll make it, it just will take time!!

I'm filled with happiness. I can't wait til you get to your goal!!

 

[bikinibound]

Wow! You two are very impressive. That takes a lot of guts to do what you both did. I have never been very good at making money--I just haven't found anything that I'm really good at--except being a smart ass. Plus, I'm scared to death of failing. It sucks. I think I would've left my H months ago if that weren't the situation. I think I need to get my ass in gear, but I just feel like I don't know where to begin. Ok, I'm about to cry, and I'm at my office, so that's NOT good! Ahh. At my current job, I work a lot and don't get paid much. It can be very stressful at times--like today. There's always a problem, one after another. Ok, I'll stop whining now. That's another thing I'm good at--too bad I can't be a professional whiner.

Twin, don't talk like that about yourself, DO YOU HEAR ME???? Your making yourself sound like a failure, and well YOUR NOT!! Look at how gung ho you are on weight loss, look at the way you kick ass making it happen, you ARE good at things, from what I can tell your a great cook, at least all the items you have mentioned making/baking have made me drool like a dog in heat, and look at how you take care of your dad, MAN that will come back to you some day two fold. Your also funny, bright, sweet, well rounded and don't take crap! Great qualities in my book. The ONLY thing holding you back, is that final straw moment. Let me quickly explain, I used to be in the same boat as you, trust me my first marriage after the 3rd year was HELL! I went to hell and back ummmmm maybe 3 times, I was finally to that point to where I didn't even recognize myself anymore, I lost ME, I lost my MOJO, I was no longer perky and happy, I was depressed, unhappy and stressed. I just finally "BROKE" one day I just threw my hands up in the air and said, it's DO OR DIE! and quite frankly I was ready to live again, I said to myself, I don't care what I have to do to get out of this, but I'll do what ever it takes, and I did, I stayed in a women's shelter the first night I left him, and never looked back. Sometimes we have to hit rock bottom, before we notice that rock bottom is better than being buried on your bottom under rock., It is scary, I won't lie, but that goes away in time. You have TWO good things working for you, 1) you have a job 2) you have no kids to worry about. That was two more things than I had. IF it's time, you will know, and being afraid will be the last thing your thinking about. YOUR AWESOME, don't forget that!! BEING HAPPY IS THE WAY TO LIVE, and you deserve that. If you need anything, or need to know something, you can always PM me, ANYTIME!!! I'll be here for you!! I'll help with what I can, just ask okay?? I don't want to get into your business, but I'm a really good listener! I love ya sister!

 

[bikinibound]

I do have a job, but pays shit--trust me--there's no way in hell I could ever support myself on my present income. Problem is, I have made some very dumb choices over the past 8 yrs, and they are coming back to haunt me--careerwise.

That was very brave of you to do what you did--especially with two little ones. Did your ex abuse you? Is that why you went to a women's shelter?

Thanks for saying all those nice things about me. I know I'm a pretty decent person. I just feel like I've wasted a lot of potential in the career dept--let my talents go to waste. Now I just don't know how to put them to lucrative use.

He was an alcoholic, it was all mental abuse, except for once, and well that was my last straw. I stayed at the womens shelter because, I was in NY and didn't have any of "MY" Family there, it was ALL his family and well, if he new I was leaving he would have never let me go, so I had no choice. It was a very scary night in deed, but at the same time, it was a relief, I was finally breaking away from being unhappy, and moving towards being happy again. And the career thing, your still young chicky, you can start over in a new career, I did. Actually, I went back to my old career from highschool and just grew higher and higher. It's never to late to start over, or in a new career, you sometimes have to sacrafice to get to were you want to be. And that's okay. Your living with your folks right???

 

[Miss Ladybug]

Hey sweetness, my H just came in asked me to come to bed and watch "LIFE" with him, we DVR'D it so we can skim through the commercials. LOL LOL I'll catch you in the morning okay??? I'll be thinking about ya!! Try and have a good night!! BIG HUGS!!!

Hey MissLOVELYBug!!

Poor BB, we need to chat! I feel bad to hear that. There's gotta be something you can come up with that'll be fulfilling. Its never too late to figure something out. You are very bright and witty and you will not be a failure at whatever you decide to do. Am I right MLB??!

 

[MsGhettoBooty]

Yeah, I try to shake it up at the gym and use different equipment every week, I get bored just using the elliptical or the bike, I love the ARC trainer, thanks to Sheryl telling me about it, I had no idea that's what it was, then I used it and now I'm hooked.

Actually, AmyRB got me into the Arc Trainer, so I have that little MILF to thank.

I'm one of those girls that pulls her hair back in a pony, throws on a Doo-Rag and sweats until my T-shirt is soaked, that's the only way I feel like I've done any good. Is that nasty or what??

Nasty? Oh hell nah... that's gangsta! Especially since you're sporting a "doo-rag!" HA!

I'm going to say this, but I swear to God, you women here are amazing. ...AmyRB, Kimmy, Kimberly, Blancita, and Val... Sure life can bitch slap us around here and there, but we find ways to get through that. I commend every single one of you girls and love yas even more. Kimberly.. as for the situation you are in now... you still have a lot of time to pick up the pieces and start anew. You're young. You're beautiful and when you finally realize what it is that you really want, you're going to achieve that, so don't you fret, angel.
