"That which does not kill us makes us stronger" - Elle's diary

I am enjoying the challenge, also. I am glad you are getting ever closer to that goal. When you finally do get that ring, you will look amazing coming down that aisle!

I'm glad that someone else is liking the challenge as much as I am! :]

And I'm happy to see you getting closer too!!! It's funny because I find that I'm really excited whenever any one of you all goes down on the scale or inches. I'm glad to have such supportive people during this journey. :beating:

:D I can't wait to get married! ...well, I can because we're going to wait until I'm 23 or so, but I'll actually be wearing a dress for the first time in my life since going to church when I was little!! That should be a sight to see. lol :p
 
Wow, I fell asleep pretty freakin early last night. I think it was somewhere around 10.30-11. Craziness!

Most exciting and shocking news of the day that'll come from me:
Hopped on the scale and I weigh 180.5!!!
I'm insanely close to the 170's. :]
It's shocking because...
Nov. 9 - 183.5
Nov. 10 - 182
Nov. 11 - 180.5
That's a 1.5 loss the past 2 weigh-ins. It's kinda crazy. lol. I know it won't last and it's probably because I've visited the toilet regularly the past few days... must be all the veggies I've been eating. But in no way am I complaining. :p

I made some chicken & veggie stir fry with white rice for dinner. It was super yummy!!! And I have to add, that I did not burn it or mess anything up in any way! Granted, the stir fry came from a bag but still, I was proud. :D hahaha

My calorie range for the christmas challenge is 1450-1750. I was going to go with 1400-1700. I'm usually closer to 1700 and don't want to go over so I figured that I'd give myself some extra room in there. Yesterday, I was at 1654.5. Yeah, point 5. lol I had a cookie and had to divide everything and it didn't come out even. I hate it when that happens.

Alright, well that's all I have to report on for now. :]
Hope everyone is having a great sunday!!!
 
I think waiting til you are older to get married is wise. Just don't get pregnant and rush into it!! I am sure you are careful though, my wise little Elle.

180.5!!! Thats incredible. You are awesome, Elle. For the weight loss and for cooking dinner with no mishaps (even from a bag, it's an accomplishment!)

I don't plan on popping out any babies any time soon, lol. The thought of children now (or anytime in the next few years) scares the crap out of me. :eek: Although, I definitely do want to be a mother in the future! :]

:D Thanks Amber! I was pretty shocked when I hopped on the scale :] I'm anxiously waiting for the results of your weigh in on monday!!!

And dinner with no mishaps was amazing. :] I think this week I might try something not out of a bag. lol. Who knows though, baby steps!
 
I could give you some simple, fairly healthy recipes if you'd like. One thing I can do is cook! My husband blames me entirely for the 35 lbs he gained after he married me (the fact that he can eat an entire bag of cookies in 2 days apparently had nothing to do with it...). You don't have to use my recipes, but if you want I will share!

OOOOHH!!! I would absolutely LOVE that!! :jump: Maybe for once we'll have a nice home cooked meal. :]

And the part about the cookies made me literally laugh out loud :)
 
So, today I've noticed that the laptop seems to go whacky every once in awhile. Maybe it's Vista... *shrug*.

I think I might go return it tonight when David gets home, because it's a brand new computer so it definitely shouldn't be doing stupid things. I think I gotta have David go with me because he paid for it with his bank card. Not positive though. I'd prefer he go with me anyways, I hate returning things. lol.

If I do return it, I'll buy a wireless card for my desktop so I can still come on here. Might not have time to install it tonight, but it'll be in there by tomorrow :]

I think that returning it would be good because I really don't feel like dealing with a brand new messed up laptop. I don't think anyone would. lol.

Granted, I won't have a laptop but I'd still be able to use my desktop. So I'll still be on here! :]

So tonight after about 6, I won't be on here. I'll most definitely be on here tomorrow though!!
 
Too bad about the laptop...but I am glad you'll be around one way or another. How would you like the recipes? Here, in my diary or in a PM?
 
Congrats on hitting 180.5!! You are sooo close to the 170s!!!

Go Elle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cheers2:

P.S. You're gonna be a gorgeous bride. :D
 
Kimberly said it, right there!!!!

But I would say, you're YOUNG girl! I'm a bad example (LOL) but I'm 25 and I have no intention of marriage or kids in at least another 5 years.

Congrats on being a sneeze away from 180!!!

You're gorgeous :D

Have a great Sunday night!
 
Hey elle girl,

just dropping in to say.. WTF! You're already down to 180.5??? LMAO! I love yas, girl. I'm just glad you're back on track! Here's to being a tiny bitch for Christmas! :cheers2: hahaaa! Love yas, angel.

-Sheryl
 
So I'm just hopping on here quick before I head out for the day.
I got the wireless card last night and hooked it up and I'm back! :D

Yesterday, I stayed at 180.5 but this morning I weighed and I'm at...
(drumroll please)
179!!!!!
:party:

I can't believe that:
-I'm actually in the 170's already.
-I've lost 33.5 lbs so far.
-My BMI is 29.8. So I'm now considered overweight, not obese anymore.

I'm so completely excited it's sickening. lol.

Alright, well I need to go put makeup on and whatnot because David and I are taking my mom shopping and out to lunch. Today is her birthday. :D

I'll be back later tonight, so I'll reply to everyone then.
Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday!!!

Congratulations!!!!

I remember how good it felt to hit 179!!! I worked soooo hard to get there, and the feeling was amazing!!!

My name is Tyly (tie-lee), and I was a member here for a while, but then I was bad...

But now I'm back now and ready to lose more weight!!!

:D
