oh well....couldnt afford dentist anyway until the end of the month...it will go away when the stress does for now :P

Sorry to hear your tooth is bugging you...hope it feels better. That can definitely put a damper or how you feel and what you do for the day. Keep up your great job with the weight loss you are doing awesome!!!

I'm back though. I'm not sure if I lost any weight, though I'm positive I didn't gain any. I have my new weight bench set up in the same room as my elliptical-so that's going well.

If I don't come online between now and Saturday-don't be surprised. I've got a ton of stuff to do before Sunday-and I need to get my ducks in a row.

Take care.

Jamie I hope your twin is okay...this weather is perfect for dehydrating yourself. We'll be here waiting for you to come back...we miss you when your not here. You are a great motivater and a great buddy. Take it easy and get what you need to done. We'll see you soon.

Goals for the week-

3- Curves workouts
2-long walks
eat very healthy and drink water
keep up with the forums and support the ROCK STARS

I'm feeling very motivated. I walked a good hour tonight at a steady pace. I love the trimming that walking is doing for my legs! I found an awesome Quad muscle starting to protrude yesterday!! This is coming from miss chubby knees so it's very exciting!! My friend (who owns Curves) and I are talking about me working more. I'm pretty siked because I would be working out more. If I'm really going to teach other people how to get in shape I better get a move on and practice what I preach. I'll check in tomorrow!!

Way to go Tammy...that would help me get motivated. Working out because I work there...or have to help other people lose weight. Maybe I should check into a job at one of hour local Curves...

I don't know what is wrong w/ me, but I can seem to have much control come evening time the last few days! I have to get a grip before I undo what I have done. I am going to try really hard tomorrow. I literally feel yuck from everything I have eaten. Not a good feeling! On the positive side, I did get a walk in this morning, got some thing done around the house, and drank only water all day (all part of my goals for the day). Tomorrow is a new day! I have to tell myself that and let go of the guilt from today. Fresh start tomorrow!! YAY!

Sharla...I had to do the same thing Sharla...the last week and a half has been on the downward spiral for me. I changed it around today...I had to because I've been feeling yucky...from all the crap I have eaten.

I have faith in you...you can do it...if I can do it anyone can. Lets do this together. Keep Rockin'!!!

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I know what you mean about feeling yucky! I am feeling the same at this very moment! I hope things go good for you! We can do this!

ALLY...just wanted to say thanks for mentioning Maurices the other day! I just don't think about going in there, but thanks to you I did today, and, wow, what great deals! I bought 4 really cute tops and only spent about $45!!! I was so excited! I think I will be going back in there VERY soon!

you're very welcome! the kids and i went shopping out of town with my parents today and i went to maurices to see if i could find anything i liked that they didnt have here. i found a few more shirts, plus i bought 2 new pairs of jeans. the 24's i bought a few weeks ago are so baggy on me now, so i bought a 22 and they fit me really well! since they were on sale i also bought a size 20 because i am hoping i will be able to wear them in another month or two. i cant remember the last time i was a size 20...probably high school?? i dont know. i would be happy with that though. anyway, another reason i love maurices jeans is that they come in different lengths, and i have trouble finding jeans that are long enough for me! anyway, glad you found some new clothes! they really do make you feel better about yourself...i dont care what anyone else says! haha

Hows everyone else doing tonight? I had a very long day and am exhausted. I have been staying up til 1 or 2 AM talking to my hubby. there is a 13 hour time difference, so we have to talk when we can both be online. i havent been sleeping in in the morning, and have been too busy doing housework during nap time to settle down and rest. i think tomorow is going to be a lazy day for me. i need to catch up on some sleep!!! talk to you guys later! hope everything is going well. ally

Hi everybody. I'm new here and I was just wondering if I could join your group. I don't really know how these groups work or how you sign up or anything, but as I was reading through the forums, this group's encouragement and caring for one another really caught my attention. It's so awesome to see all of you supporting one another! I'd love to be a part of that. So, if anyone could let me know how to join, I would *really* appreciate it!
