Paul
Yes I will check out the chat more often! It was nice meeting more ppl.. and this is my second chemistry class (3rd if I count high school).. So I'm just sick of it!! I passed w a B in college but I transfered schools and my last school didn't offer a lab with the class and this one I have to take a lab and I couldn't take the lab by itself.. so I'm just sick of it.. So far I have an A though... hope I keep it.. I'll find out about the test Tuesday I'm sure I'll post about it.. and that is a good idea about telling you when I'm supposed to do it so you can fuss at my if I don't.. I plan on Fri, Sat, and Sun FOR SURE!!! and a couple times a day those days.. and the other I just have to make time to do it in the week.. I just plan on walking for now til I get in a bit better shape.. lol

Jess,
13lbs!! Awesome!! And my days are long.. it sucks sometimes but I need the money.. and I like to stay busy I just moved back home w family after living in a bigger city for 3 years its an adjustment I'm trying to get used it.. lol I couldn't weigh just once a month I couldnt resist.. lol.. But I weigh weekly w no peeking too lol... well it sounds like your doing great!!! I hope your doing good today.. I plan on exercising tonight.. I'll let you know how it goes!

Karl,
Nice to meet you.. when I first joined this forum I really didn't think people seemed very friendly but now I see differently... I get excited to next this site now. lol.. And I'm sure I'll check out ur page soon too!!

Shandy,

Very Nice meeting you too!! Still don't know much about you.. but I'll find out more soon.. I'll try to check out your thread soon and leave a post and learn more about you.. and maybe Ill find out more about Italy from you too.. lol
 
People are seriously friendly here, and a lot of fun, and supportive...

Sometimes the ice needs to be broken a bit is all. Hang around long enough and it will be.
 
Day 12

TODAY WAS HORRIBLE!! My diet at least!!.. I have to start doing better!!! Ok well today I was at work at 8am work til 2:15 then straight to my other job 2:30 to 5:30.. then right back to my other jobs until 9pm!!! I had no time to eat much of anything.. I had some a 100 calorie pack in my car that I had for just incase and thats all I had to eat and snacked on it throughout the day.. until I got home about 930.. UGH>> I overslept again!! I really just have to get to bed sooner I guess bc I'm never ready to wake up.. and sleep in and don't have time to make my lunch.. my first week was ok.. but I just got off on the wrong foot this week and it messed everything up.. well Im exercising tomorrow!! AT LEAST TWICE!!! Well I'm bummed right now.. So I'm getting off for a little while..
 
Hey!

It's okay, Amanda. We all have rough days. You have to keep trying!!! Don't be so hard on yourself. You work crazy hours.

I hope tomorrow is better!!

<3 Jes

Hey Amanda, dont knock yourself to much about your food intake for one day. These things can't be helped sometimes. Good idea keeping a food pack in the car for emergencies ;) This next week will be much better, I just know it!

Yeah, I have the same problem with sleep. I need to get a lot more of it, and it is so important for the body.

Hows the exercising going this weekend??? Did you manage to get a good walk in??

Day 13

Well today was better.. I still didn't eat really healthy but better!! and I also walked/jogged 3 miles on the treadmill.. and it took my 1 hour and 13 minutes.. not too bad since I haven't been a treadmill in a long time.. I walked most of it but in the last mile I would jog for a minute then slow it back down catch my breath and jog again.. and I did that for the last mile.. But I feel great now that I finally exercised!! My weigh-in is tomorrow.. It was Tuesday last week but I want it to be Monday's but I have a little bit of extra time on Monday morning.. but I don't have to work in the AM.. but hopefully it's not too bad.. last week wasn't great... but I plan on getting back on track tomorrow!! anyways that's it for now..

Cute Dress!!!

There is a lot of power in visualization. You're on the right track with both the board and the dress.

I'm going to do that too. Put a dress I want to get into on my closet door. Good idea!

I hope you have a great week. You can do it!!!
 
You know, Manda, that's a cool idea. Putting up a visual goal, something that you can aspire too whenever you look at it.

I'll have to come up with a couple and figure out how to set it up for my life.

Look forward to talking to you again soon.
 
Oh something I forgot.. I orderd Jillian Michael's 30 day sherd yesterday.. only $11.. not too bad at all.. but I'm also on another WL forum and a lot of girls just finished the video and most lost 10+ inches in one month.. not a lot of weight but it's the inches that really matter right?? but I should be getting it will week.. and will start this weekend for sure Maybe Thursday if I get it in time... anyways I thought I'd add that tid bit..
 
Hey Amanda!!!

Day 13 - It's okay! It happens. I can tell your determined and that's good. YOU CAN DO IT!

Congrats on walking/jogging the 3 miles!!! You'll do great at the weigh-in :)

You have such great motivation ideas. LOVE the idea of hanging up a dress. I think I'm going to steal this too!!! Where do you get all these ideas?! I love it!

Let me know how the Jillian Michael's 30 day sherd works out for you. Maybe I'll check it out. $11 is nothing.

Alrighty girl, I gotta get to bed. Thanks for all the support. You have no idea how much I appreciate it!!

<3 Jes
 
Your dress is really cute! I have some jeans hanging on my door that there is NO WAY I can fit in for about thirty lbs, lol, but its great to have that motivation. You sound like youve been doing a pretty great job already, keep up the great work :)

Great idea with the dress, Amanda. Something in the short-term to aim towards. I have a box of clothes that I love (and used to fit 3 years ago) that are ready for me when I hit 320lbs. I can't wait as my current clothes are revolting. Keep kicking it Girl!!!!

I have a few of Jillian Michaels DVDs. I've done full frontal and backside. OMGoodness does she kick your butt! I love her dvds. I just finally bought a step yesterday so I can do her dvd the right way.

Good for you! Keep me posted on when you try it! She's so cute and adorable in a fiesty way on her dvds. It's like she can see you. lol
