Yes I know I'm loosing, but when I look in the mirror, I still see the 255 lb large stomached, love handled, "ugly betty".

Pretty soon you will be like me and walk past a shop window and suddenly stop and stare wondering who the other person is before clicking that 'hey! thats me! woohoo!'

As for the moods, Just pretend you're a woman and its PMS - dont worry it will be gone in a few days :D
 
Good evening all... it's WAY late... I'm tired... and I'm staying up watching Battlestar Galactica. I have tomorrow off and gonna relax! I'm gonna spend my time tomorrow, while getting my window fixed on my car repliying to all the messages. I'm jus tired though.. I exercised this afternoon.. and the problem with that is...when i started, I had to do jumping jacks... and when I was doing the jacks, my head started hurting. and I mean REALLY hurting. It was so bad I could feel my brainstem..atleast that's what it felt like. And I was pretty lethargic for the rest of the day. But I did drop again to 218.5! w00t!!! Only problem is, I'm freaking a bit because I realized that I've been having a fair amount of carbs with my diet...though I'm still losing so, we'll see what happens... I need to go to bed..I really do. But I figured I'd pop in and say hi.
 
Hii SS!! Uck - I can't do jumping jacks either, they make my head feel terrible too. Yay on the loss!! Have a great day off!! :D:D:D
 
Good morning all! It's early... and I'm strangely awake. This past weekend was pretty good. I took a break on Saturday, but still ate good. I need to watch my carb amount though. I've had just about every other day 4 slices of bread, I've had a serving of pringles chips to go with some meals, etc. I mean... it's not necessarily BAD food that I'm eating... because I'm staying under my calorie count, and keeping most everything low fat... or no fat. But still, it's just... argh, so hard to avoid sometimes :( I've had little time to come to the forums and post like I would like too... I'm SO far behind on everyones lives and whats going on with everyone. Haven't had a real chance to catch up with everyone and for that I'm sorry. How has everyone been doing? Good I hope... My mood has been better as well... not as high as I would like...but still good none the less. I'm still at 218.5, but we'll see how this week goes. SO close to onderland... I can't wait! :)
 
O thats just great. I had just about a full post and my browser decided to sneeze. Okay, I said that I'm going to be at my desk for the most part this morning and early afternoon so... I may be able to get to some diaries today. MTM&K is not feeling good at ALL... Emptied her stomach this morning :(. And we were denied medicaid, but found out that theres still a slim slim chance that we could still be approved. Their reasoning is that she hasn't been in the states for 5 years. Which is untrue... and that's the slim slim chance. They've released a new set of rules beginning of last year that puts up all these crazy stipulations. ARGH. Do you know what that means? It means that there's a chance that MTM&K may have to go to Canada with the kids WAY before me!!! The reason is because of the healthcare being that she's A. a canadian citizen and B. it's at no cost! And Here, I stay, away from them... I don't want to do that. I may have too..and I'm strong, and I know that she'll have proper care and be surrounded by 10 more times the help that I could provide (all her family is up there...), its just hard....very hard. :( Anyway, we'll see what happens over the next little bit.

So on to my weight loss... I woke up this morning to exercise, groggy as all get out... that kinda sucked...don't think that I pushed myself like I could have. I was up watching american idol then it took me about 20-30 minutes to actually get my butt in bed. But after working out, I went to shower as usual and guess freakin what?!??! I'm down ANOTHER 1 1/2 lbs! I'm at 217!!!!!!! So after I was well into my weight loss, I started a measurement journal and liked what I saw. Here's the breakdown:

December 8/06
Chest: 43 1/2"
Tummy: 46 1/2"
Below tummy: 44"
Left arm: 16 1/2"
Right arm: 17"
Neck: 17"

Tummy: 45"
Below Tummy: 41 1/2"
Left arm: 16"
Right Arm: 16 1/4"

Body Fat: 31 1/2%
Water Percent: 53.5%
Weight: 226lb



January 17/07
Chest: 41"

Right Arm: 16"
Left Arm: 15 1/2"

So yeah, I'm excited about that... When I started, my Stomach was like 56" or more, my neck was 18 1/2" It was pretty bad. So... My goal, like always is 101 oz of water today, and to hit a few diarys... Please keep me and my family in your prayers or thoughts... Thanks guys... Miss talking to all of you... sorry I haven't been around... :eek:
 
Your doing great, I hate jumping jacks as well...I feel so guilty nad so crappy when I eat carbs or alot of them and the so called bad food, it literally has been making me sick, lol...but sometimes one has not alot of choice over what they eat due to circumstances...your doing well and I am proud of how well you are handling everything!!!
 
Thanks Cinder! I managed to have a pretty small, yet yummy dinner. Yeah carbs, but there wasn't any meat thawed so, it was a nice yummy pretty much healthy turkey sandwich. It was SOOO good... then another grapefruit..I'm so hooked on them right now. Yum! Thanks for the support though :) You rock!
 
Good morning SS! Way to go on all the inches lost, and the lbs! You're doing so awesome! :) :) :)

As for the diaries, don't worry about it. At least you have a life. I don't, and I spend hours on here, and I still can't make it to everyone's. There's just so many people, so little time.:rolleyes:

You're tellin me! It's nuts I tell ya..Nuts! The time that I thought that I had this morning..I don't! :( Another day of missing the other ones! HA... thanks for stopping by... hoping the other regular visitors to my lil corner show up as well :) How have you been?
 
Hey SS,
You know what I always do when I'm typing up a message? I open notepad, its a shortcut on my desktop so I don't have to go looking for it. And I just type my message in there in case my browser decides to be mean, I can just trick it. Then I just copy and paste it. Comes in real handy.

Sorry about your wife and Canada! Ugh, this must be so frustrating for your family, I can't even imagine. I wish the best with everything.

But congrats on your weight loss, and those measurements look awesome!!! You are really losing it well, congrats. :)
 
Not too bad, actually...stress about money is about to be over for now, I hope. The ex is going back to work!!! I've been getting back into my scrapbooking, which is relaxing. The kids have colds, but are still in great spirits. Life is pretty good.

How is yours coming along? How's the wife feeling?
 
You are doing great on weight loss and inches!! Keep it up man!! And tell the family hello and that wife of yours that I hope she gets to feeloing better soon!!:)

Thanks! The other day I measured my tummy and it was UP an inch and I was freaking... lol...coulda been anything from water to just my body distributing the fat left on my body elsewhere for a bit... It is incredibly frustrating with the whole Canada thing. I want to go with her right now so bad...but the upside to it is, if we do do this, we'll be gaining ALOT of money on a monthly basis (I'd be moving out of our duplex and in with a friend until my paperwork went through...) Saving ALOT of money. So we'll see how things play out. We've already been apart 2 times in our marriage. Once because she was going to visit her family (planned trip..I had to stay back and work) for two months, and the second was forced... The job I had almost ruined us and I moved in with my Father and Grandmother and she took the kiddos back to Canada until I got us back on our feet. That was for 3 months :(

Trust me...I know about stress from money. My wife is still feeling really sick. she has SOME good days...but most are spent trying not to puke all day. My poor wife! See above for more details about or LATEST trial UGH
 
Congrats on the 1+ down!! Fabulous!
That sucks about the help care stuff. Ugh our system is so fouled up when a pregnant woman can't get the helps she needs. :rolleyes: Hopefully things will get straightened out so they don't have to head to Canada without you. *sends SS & family some super good vibes* ;)

Have a great day!! :D:D
 
Heya's Saturday,

Hi SS!! You are doing so awesome!!!! Congrats!! I'm sorry you and your wife are going through such a hard time getting insurance. Hope all works out soon!!
 
Congratulations on losing that weight and inches despite everything! :)

I do hope you guys can get the help you need to stay together during these trials. Also, it must be getting close to three months for MtM&K now - fingers crossed really hard, that this will be the time she gets to feel well again.
