:iagree::iagree::iagree: I'm totally with you, Jess! This site has helped inspire, encourage, and motivate me like nothing else! This place is like my digital home away from home. lol
 
Hey Girls!!!

I am so happy to have found this website....I actually attempting a diet and was looking for there website and I accidently found this one,....best accident ever lol! Glad to have found support from people going throught the same things I am...also I love that I am able to give other support...People on here rock!!!!
 
Ok so I weight myself yesterday morning I am at 173.8......I want to be out of the 170's already but I tought I was gonna be back at like 178 so I will take the 173.8, especially since it's TOM. I am hopping that I don't get any cravings! I don't have much time , to be on here but I just wanted to update. I am not having friends over for my birthday once again we don't have a penny in the bank, I am 200$ short on my last pay check from my old company so I don't even know that we can cover our car insurance. Can't wait to have my first full paycheck from the new company, I worked almost an extra hour everyday so the pay should be nice...but the first pay check will only be for 1 week but still it's gonna be nice.
 
You're stuck in the 170's too? I just can't seem to get out of them and it's driving me crazy. That's too bad that you can't do anything special for your birthday, but maybe in a few weeks when the new checks start rolling in you can do something belated. I know how you feel in the money department too though. :(

I feel ya on the money; I hate my job and make nothing. eff. Just hope that once I get all finished with school I'll have a terrific job that makes working these kinds of jobs worth it. *sigh*
 
Thanks for the reply Vero. I am actually not a spammer was just looking for some info. I like to hear that I am not the only one struggling out here! I LOVE food as well but once I start eating I don't want to stop!! lol So I thought I might try the protein shake route but I have to admit it's not really doing it for me!! Good Luck with the new job! Thanks for the reply

I think I have been in the 170's since March! I got to get my behing in gear in order to make it in shape lol!!!! Can you tell I am tired! I might do something next weekend, but there is also a festival thing going on at work so I will have to make an appearance there with the kids and you know make sure the hubby's boss and my boss see us there! It actually sounds like it's gonna fun!! This year I can go to the concerts for free!! Too bad I am not into french music nothing against it ....but I haven't really followed it in a while! Money SUCKS lol but at least I love my job and that is what really counts! The fact that it's close and a bit more money then the last is icing on the cake!

I should have done the school thing too...before I had kids....now it's gonna have to wait till at least both kids are in school and then we will see....at least the job of the moment I like except for the fact that it's phones I hate phones......but I am actually good at customer service type jobs....oh well it's a stepping stone! At the new job there is room for advancement at least! If you hace a carreer you like later on it will make now worth it!

Hey Glad you are not a spammer :)..sorry for thinking you where!!! I just found it hard to think someone thought I was into the loop.... A few years back I tried the protein shake thing, I was just pissed all the time when people got to eat real food. What works for me is the real food thing. I love salad but I also like having meal substitute around ( I have to stoke on some) that way when I don't have time I can have a shake instead of fast food or junk I would probably get to my goal way faster! I can't wait to get to 166lb! I hope to see you around some more!

Hello

Ok so another week begins and it's TOM so I am having a harder time controling what I eat, I am hungry at all time and free cheese..need I say more??? I have been good today and I haven't touched cheese not even one little curd! Also last week I forgot to mentioned that my sister finally got her surgery and she is in pain but healing well so hopefully now that this stress is gone she will get help dealing with her other issue. I don't remember if I mentioned my sister barely leaves her house now, she was a victime of physical and mental abuse for years and now almost 4 years since that relationship ended she is having more trouble coping with it...it's so hard to see her like that...she used to be so social and outgoing and now she has a panic attack when she leaves her house. There is nothing I can do to help her cause she is refusing to go for any type of treatment. this was my rant of the day! Other then that I am adjusting very well to the new job and theyare teaching me more and more that is a step in the right direction!

Food today was

Breakfast
bagel with chesse ( before work ;) ) 6pts
Coffee 2pts

Lunch
large vegi salad 3oz of baked chicken and Renee's 1/2 the fat Greek with Feta (2tbsp) 5pts

Ice Cream ***They sale the best ice cream at work*** 5pts

Club sandwich 9pts (no bacon, whole wheat break, mayo on the side and I didn't touch the fries)
that is like 27 pts today so 5 pts over ....got to get my will power back!

Oh man, I don't think I could work there. Cheese is a weakness of mine. Good for you for not touching it!

I'm glad to hear your sister got her surgery and that things went well. Sorry to hear about the other stuff though. That's really sad, but hopefully someday she'll be ready to get some help for those issues.
 
Hey Veronique - I'm looking for my will power too!! It seems to have gone missing the last couple weeks, lol!!
So glad to be back! Now I just need to get my mind back too!! I agree with Mizzie that I would have such a hard time being around free cheese! Do you notice a lot of overweight co-workers?
Ok let's pump it up this week and get you out of the 170's!! I know you have it in you!!

LISA YOU ARE BACK!!! I saw some of the pictures you posted on here WOW.
There are some overweight co workers but suprisingly not that many!!! I think it's hard to resist the cheese the first couple of months but then once you are around it everyday then it becomes less tempting....I am sort or lactose intolerant so in my case if I eat cheese everyday for like 3 days in a row I am gonna be so sick...so it's less tempting....I love the cheese curds my theirs are the best! lol I got to stop thinking about food!

Ok so today I am really starting to feel at ease in my new job (I know this is all I am talking about but cmon what else in new in my life lol!) My trainer says she is very impressed with my work and that she is glad to see that I am working well on my own but still play nice with others lol! I am now able to enter the order directly in the computer with out writting them down, so much faster and I don't feel overwhelm this way cause when I talk to a customer all my previous orders are entered and I can't forget a thing you know! TOM is gonna be a major issue this month...I am hungry all the time, I could spend the whole day munching, and not healthy stuff cause I have no money to go grocery shopping! I get a first half pay from my new job this week and then we will see what we are left with once the bills are all cought up! I was gonna buy the Wii fiit for my b day but our Wii is brick walled Dont know what that means other then it won't work, we bought it used and aparently the people we boughtit for had done something to the wii so they could download games online for free,,,,we have had the Wii for a few years and it worked well with the games we bought for it but now it won't work at all.so no wii fit for me :( I will have to find something else to work out with...I went to visit our one and only local gym and it's not worth it, it's tiny and there is like only one of everymachine and no clases and I went to check it out at the time I would be able to go and there was a line up for the cardio machines so I am not about to spend money on that! I am sure in time I will find something I enjoye doing!


Food today
Breakfast
bagel with ff cheese 6pts
coffee 2pts

lunch
WW frozen lasagna 6pts

diner
chicken stew at least 10 pts causeI ate a peice of bread with it
24 pts so 2 pts over and guess what I am still hungry!
 
Ewww, that gym does NOT sound like a good time to me, lol! Glad you're liking your new job and adjusting well- wish I liked my job as much! Hope TOM gets a little better for ya and food doesn't become a monster for ya :)

Nice work on the scale Veronique! That's too bad about your Wii not working. I remember a while ago you were going out for walks at night if your husband was home and starting to run a bit - any thoughts of going back to that. What about trying a new workout dvd? I think most of them are pretty inexpensive. Anyway you are still dropping the pounds so that is great! Keep it up and have a great weekend!
 
I'm glad you love your new job, you seem to be fitting right in. You have gotten along with your loss just fine w/o the wii fit so I am sure you are going to find something else to help you along the way.
