What am I doing wrong!!?
I was the same starting weight at you - I'm a lot older than you.. So here's my 2 cents Calories should be 800-1200 vary them daily - I went to the gym 5 days a week - I did not allow too many treats during my weight loss phase (didn't drink everyweekend - you are negating the weight you lost during the prior week) This isn't to say if I went to a bday party or concert that I didn't partake - - I just didn't do it every single weekend - maybe once every few monts Quit eating processed food - this is a lifetime lifestyle change in your eating habits - are you going to live on frozen meals for the next 60 years.. You need to follow band rules - Limit your alcohal consumtion - they are empty calories.. Bf - Greek Yogurt & blue berries lunch - BBQ chicken Thigh & salad dinner - 4 oz fish (baked) 1/2 cup veggies & maybe 1/4 c rice Snack 100 cal snack pack popcorn - sf healthy choice or WW fudgesicle - SF Choc pudding
-
What about popcorn??
I eat it almost every day - the snack pack 100 cal bags

I'm BACK !! Dropped Phyl off around 4 - was home 4:30 - Andrew was here cleaning up the house- Guess Joseph an them picked up but my DARLING Andrew was vacuuming etc - GREAT KID !!! He's my heart !!! I've unpacked showered and ready for the couch- We came home the back way - it must have rained tons out in the desert cuz when you see pic's Phyl took there's dirt rocks and debris all over the road - NEVER go that way if it's raining.. A car in front of us got a flat - thank God we didn't... Gave Phyl a little thrill on the way home - had these 3 motorcyclist in front of us - we were going about 60 got sick of following them - so when we had a clear shot - had to pass all 3 (they were spaced quite a bit apart) - well car hit 100 - She has never gone that fast in her life ;0) ... Well, we had a great time - I'm pooped - will post pics tomorrow -

Good Evening Gang... Sorry haven't been on today - busy at work - 10/1 renewals Then had gym - stopped by to see Andrew at work and Janelle who works next doors haven't seen her in ages (Andrew's cousin who went on the cruise w/us) then went to Target - for got salami (it's the dogs treat went I leave). Got home Joseph calls - I guess they are coming tomorrow - 1st I've heard from them since the 1 a.m. call ;0) - I have a hair cut at 5 - won't be home till 6:30 so - am packing tonite.. So that I can spend some time w/them - Joseph said why didn't I move my appoint I knew they were coming - I said it was made a month ago and I didn't know at that time you were going to be here and after last friday - didn't know if you would or not - anyway after 2 hrs we will be getting on each others nerves ;0) it's 8:45 p.m. and havent' eaten Karla - CONGRATS ON YOUR 163 !!! WTG.. Now GF I am going to kick your butt - you take those pants back - you are not allowed to have any baggy clothes - it's too easy to slip back into to them if you start gaining weight - for me my clothes are the indicator I use as to where my weight is - I don't need a scale. So take them back - get a 10 - on the bra you most likely are a 36 - so when you take those pants back try on a 36 C.. I am glad you got to see the doc - yes gf you are suppose to eat really food... ;0) It's good to be able to eat meat - I couldn't live w/o it ;0) that and veggies - Phyl - Hugs on Earl - is he feeling better ;0) - At least you will have 2.5 days of peace - I think you and I make good room mates :0) - Well - gotta ck my other thread Will ck in tomorrow.. Hugs and love to all (including the lurkers :drool:)

Steph I'm sorry that you feel the way you do and that you don't get support from us.. We love you and we are here for you.. Well, she's the closest thing to a sister I've ever had." Are you kidding me? Not thank you, not I'm so glad you could do this, didn't even hardly acknowledge my presence....but....this cousin who lives in Minneapolis is the closest thing she has to a sister??? REALLY? Why do I even try? Anyways....I'm trying not to be bitter but dammit it hurt! And I feel like I can't say anything about that, because .... I mean....she's just had a really bad thing happen. I guess it goes to show me that even in the worst of times I'm still not up to par for her. Oh well.....letting it go. Shutting up now.on You are an angel - be proud of that.. How much more supportive can we be.. I guess you wanted to call your sil all kinds of bitches - Well can't do that when they just were life flighted to the hospital - I'm not going to talk bad about someone who might die.. Well we all know that she is (a witch) - Like Linda said - We got that we - know that - We just were trying to make you see that you are a good person with out her thanking you or saying you were her sister and shame on her . For some pple it's more about blood - blood will always win over inlaws.. And the Karri remark.. Didn't get that one either - I guess it's where she posted on FB that she got criticized on another board - again - I don't think we criticized her.. Giving pple suggestions on ways to look at a situations isn't criticizing or being un-supportive - it's trying to get them to look at things from a different perspective and how they might change things... I know you are hurt and angry right now - Hope that you realize it's not you that's the bad person here that it's her and we love you and don't want you to stop posting As Linda said you - have great insite and we need each other's view points - as a friend says - about advice - take want you want and leave the rest - Hugs - sure hope you don't quit us cuz we aren't going to quit you.. Love Janet P.S. - My life has drama and far from perfect - I don't think anyone has a perfect life - don't think there is such a thing. But I have a few years on you and that makes a bit of a difference on how I look at things - Like I'm always telling Andrew - it's an age thing I have a Sister who could die at anytime - and she's pissed and not talking to me.. But what am I to do - I love her and if she doesn't want to talk to me so be it - I have learned in my life you can't change other pple - so why try .. As Candice once said - Definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a diff result. Love you dearly and sure hope you come back...

I really really liked blue blood - Detroit 187 is on Tues nite 10-11 I'm pretty sure or may be 9-10 it's a cop show like blue blood but set in Chicago I liked the preview... I'm getting ready to go watch it in a minute.. Then I watch on with Judging Amy - it's good too and I liked the Defenders and then Friday night something w/Jimmy Smith - don't remember the name - but again another cop/law show ... I took a power nap 20 minutes then went to target to get some yogurt for my bf - but the whole dairy section was closed and empty - must have had a power failure - I've been eating greek yogurt (chobain) vanilla with raspberries &/or black berrier - don't know what I'll have tomorrow - since i'm out don't feel like going to Winco and i don't think they carry that brand Well will let you know about 187 (code for murder)

I am so glad my doc is only 20 miles away - I don't know what I would have done for a doc if I had surgery in MX - as my doc won't touch you or if he did it would be $1000 a fill..

Good Morning Gang.. Well had drama last night - OMG - Joseph calls at 1 a.m. I (think) - Story he got in a fight w/friend (all do to drinking) then Melissa and the kids left - and wouldn't answer the phone - Joseph has a tempter and drinking isn't a good thing - they did the right thing - but why are they calling me at 1 a.m. when I'm 400 miles away... Joseph wanted me to call Melissa to tell her to come home - Kaitlin calls me to tell me their side of the story- I told both of them why in the hell are you guys calling me - I can't do anything. Joseph calls back wants divorce and to move home (w/me) I said HELL FREAKING NO.. You can get divorced but you aren't living w/me.. If he came back to Indio - he would go back to his old life (drugs).. I feel bad for being short w/Kaitlin - but what the hell - what am I suppose to do - I was sleeping so good - when i got these calls - I ended up taking the phone off the hook cuz stupid childish Joseph kept calling me.. Well - today's plan - nails - get bday present - clean closet and that's about it - got tons of t.v. to catch up on - haven't watched Greys or detorit 187 - CBL Steph- Great advice...
