Photocrazed - Journey to a Healthy lifestyle

Ohh...nothing like hearing the opposite of what you're used to hearing! It's easier for me to narrow down then to try and think broadly (it comes from alal that practice of nit picking) ;)

Hope you have a good day!
 
You may not be happy with 155, but it could be worse. It could be going the other way. Me on the other hand have yet to budge from 168. I would love to be where you are right now. Even hit 159, no 164 - that would be fanastic. I think I've been stuck at 168 now for at least 2 months. It is really testing my motivation.

Take care.
 
153 in no time--I bet ya!

Mondays are always high weigh days for me, anyhow.

Your research paper seems really difficult--but I'm sure you can pull it off! I used to stress over papers and when it was over, I usually got an A and was like, "well, I can't believe I did it but I did." I'm sure you'll do great!

Thanks guys!

I have started working on my research paper for my sociolinguistics class, and couldn't really find ANYTHING that correlates to my topic. SO I emailed the professor and she says I need to broaden my topic. I have never heard this. Normally I hear, "your topic is too broad, you need to narrow it down." Grrrrr.

I'm not gonna stress the #'s on the scale, Casey, because I see the inches decreasing and that's a good thing. It's coming up on my 30 days since I measured at the end of the week, so I'll be posting the decrease/increase or stayed the same for each item measured!!

I'm soo excited!

Although TOM is visiting so, we'll see how things go.

If someone had told me this at the time, I would have laughed, but the day will come in a couple of years when you'll look back on this period of your life, and (sort of like childbirth I guess) all the stress/frustration/pressure will pale in comparison to how much "fun" (in a weird way) the whole learning process was. I have no doubt you'll nail your paper.
 
You kick that papers ass, you hear me? :) You'll do fine. I understand that it's awfully frustrating though.
How tall are you, by the way? I'm asking because we're close to the same weight and I was wondering if we're the same height too. It'd be great encouragement to have someone around whose size is probably pretty similar to my own. 153 is just around the corner, sweetums.
 
Hey there, Foxy! Your doing so great. When I read you were in the 150's it gave me chills...you are now at my goal weight. Wanna trade?? Just for a day?? :p You have inspired me all over again. Keep it up.
 
Curvie Girlie-- I normally don't increase much at all during my cycle, unless I eat terribly, and I don't have that on the agenda for now. I honestly feel that I have been doing very well!

cym-- I know you are right. I have always enjoyed school, and at one time told everyone my profession was going to be a "Professional Student" Boy how things change.. especially as the cost of education increases. :D

sunnydee--I do plan on kicking ass with this paper. I have already put in about 7 hrs worth of research, although I'm not quite sure what I have found and how it all relates to me........... I think you are taller than me. I'm a very tall 5'4" :D hehehe. Although we can certainly benefit each other.

tiffany--I would trade with you if it were possible and gave you even more motivation, but unfortunately it isn't possible. =( I would especially trade today with all these cramps I'm having. HAHAHA.

crazybecka thank you!
 
Well for dinner, I am making a wonderful Minestrone soup. I have made it a few times before, and haven't made it in a while. It was a request of hubby, and we'll probably have A LOT leftover for later on in the week. It is pretty low calorie due to the ingredients, so maybe this will help with my weight loss efforts.

I also have been doing really well with chocolate and really bad stuff. Remember those kisses I bought a week ago?? I haven't touched them! YEAH GO ME!
 
wow that very commendable - particularly with the amount of work youre doing and have got left to do etcetc. yday i got back from a 9 hour school day and i had had eaten nothing since brekkie. and i just saw half of an easter egg left on the kitchen surface and ate the lot :eek:
and the soup will be a bit like the one used on sacred heart wont it exept for the pasta?
:) see, i stopped by to catch up with you
have a lovely day x
 
Soup is awesome for weight loss - it fills you up a fair bit for the few calories it has eh :)
I just have to watch what i eat with it lol. (to much bread usually!)
