[Sarina D]

Hello everyone!!!

It's a long weekend here in Canada today...yippie!!! I've been online desperately looking for a place that my husband and I can cram some QUICK dance lessons in at leading up to my cousin's up and coming wedding reception early in September. I don't want to be up there doing the "Elaine dance" from Seinfeld LOL!!! I'll look like I'm up there with the dry heaves or something So, I think I FINALLY have my husband convinced that we need to do this but I feel like I'm running out of time!

So, that's what I've been doing the last few hours. I'm about to jump on my stationary bike and log some time in and then I'll jump on my glider and do that. I'll complete my abs workout routine later tonight before bed.

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone!

Well, I got out of the house and did a little walking. Granted it was at stores. lol I ate something that knocked me out of ketosis. But not a binge or anything. I also went by the thrift stores and picked up stretch jeans that are a little too small for me. Now I've got something to shrink into. On a horrible note, one pair was a 10 and one was a big 8, so I wanted a pair of regular 8s to try on. I thought I had them, until I put them on and it went horribly, horribly wrong. They were a size 6. I don't think I'll ever get THAT small. But I might, so I'm keeping them, just in case.
My daughter checked the lable, she swears those horrible pants are an 8! Grrrrrrrrrrr!

[Sherri]

Good evening CC'ers
Oh, now that sounds like fun Sarina. Dancing is such great exercise too. Enjoy!
Rita, looks like you have some new goal pants, ha. The smallest i've been is 15's. I was happy with that too. I couldn't imagine being an 8. But then again i'm 5'10", so I would like to be a size 14. Concidering I came from a size 4x. I'll be happy with that.
Welcome Sd1136! Glad you joined us here. Make yourself at home.
I look forward to getting to know you here.

I had a long day. I've been cleaning all day, deep cleaning. Also working in the garden. Picked green beans and squash today. Did some laundry. I'm headed to get groceries tomorrow, early. Clean and well stocked home. A girl couldn't ask for much more. Ha
Sierra (DD) lost another 2 pounds from last week. A total of 17 pounds lost. She's looking forward to clothes shopping for school.
Hope everyone had a successful low carb day.

I'm only 5'6 1/2". But there is an active debate around here about the size of my hip bones and the size of those pants. I think if I can just stop hanging over the 10's, I'll stop. I've still got too much padding still to know what size thin is for me. What is under there and when will I find it??? I think I'm gonna have to tone the tummy. I really thought I had a larger frame or something and I'd be done with pinching inches. When I started I was in size 20 pants but 22's felt better. I don't mind being a size 14, or a 12. I am fighting the belly though and its winning, its still there.

[Sarina D]

Oh Rita me too...the tummy thing for me is still alive and thriving but you know...it's way way way better than I ever expected it would be coming from the weight I was and aside from eating properly I have to say it's come along as well as it has primarily due to the exercise. My doctor told me something very interesting a few weeks ago...he said that once one reaches their goal, they have to give the loose skin at least a full year to tighten up...it takes time and exercise!

Keep it up Rita, you're doing awesome...congratulations on your new sized pants...how wonderful!

Thanks so much Sarina! I was wondering about my skin. I've stopped dieting sometimes trying to wait for it shrink up. I'm glad to know it'll continue to shrink for up to a year after I'm done! I think that is making me a little bulkier looking. I noticed someone larger than me but so much tighter looking. I thought about how it use to be, and it IS way better looking now. I've pinched around, I AM winning, I'll get there! I bought excercise tapes but haven't gotten up and done them yet. I am the worst about excercise. I'll walk anywhere as much as you want, but toneing I dread. I've changed so many other things, maybe I'll work up to excercise too.

Hello everyone,
I hope it is okay to join your support group. I am trying to lose at least 100 pounds and I need all the support I can get. I keep going back and forth with losing the same weight over and over again. I finally joined some challegenes last month and again this month to help motivate me to get up and move and maybe then I'll see some weight lost. I haven't weigh myself since the 6 wec challenge, because I joined the scale free challenge as well...so hopefully at the end of the 6 wec I can post some positive weigh lost results.

See ya around
