  1. Yea I have a friend who is a personal trainer and he told me the same thing 5 minutes walk/5 run to really burn calories and build up endurance. He said you have to do this to get read for a 5k. So I totally buy it. So is this C25K a book or what? Where did you guys get this? Donna I tried to post a link but couldn't. And I a open for anyday to go see the movie. I have to work everyday this week. What about Friday after work? THursday? Or next Sunday? Saturday afternoon? Ok give me some ideas on what time works for you............. Nicole you did good!! Let me know about the job when you find out!!! Candra did you survive the weekend??
  2. Ah Jes you will like them I have been wearing them the last three days. I think walking on regular shoes will feel funny now!! Did you get the regular straps or the criss cross straps.........I have the criss cross ones. I saw sisters keeper and it was sad. I read the book too so I knew what was coming.............but I have to tell you Marley and Me was the saddest and most upsetting movie I have seen!! I was heartbroken...........I did see passion of the christ way back when and I could not say a thing about it for several day.........that was more than sad. That one floored me. I only saw that once. I refused to see it again. Still don't know what I think ......... The proposal is GREAT i saw it twice since my daughter loved it so much we took her friends.......... I sill need to eat dinner but not to hungry. It is hot today and I drank alot. But I want to keep at 1000 calories and I am at 800 something now. Yogurt here I come!! Probably veggie lunch meat.
  3. The proposal is really good!! very funny!! What are you doing saturday night? We could all go see the proposal meet somewhere in the middle.
  4. It gets easier the older they get. I miss her but it is good for her to be with her friends and for us to have some space. Teen girls and their mothers....................ah just wait. They need space sometimes!! LOL. It helps that I know the people who run the camp very, very well. Family friends so I know where she is at and the people she is with!! I get in all my overtime and get my house repair stuff done while she is away!!! I also usually go see the movies she doesn't want to see...............do all the adult stuff I can squeeze into a week!!
  5. Afternoon ladies. Just got my daughter up to Tahoe for camp this morning. I am really tired. I still need to clean up my house. My band is tight in the morning so I have only eaten B: Yogurt 100 cal veggie lunch meat(from protien) 80 calor Skinny Latte (90 calories) L: D: I have been back on blood pressure medications the last two weeks. I wonder if that is helping me lose the water weight? Hmmm...........might be part band and part medication. I drink alot of water and CL over 120 a day. If I was retaining water that would do it........ so had to figure out all the whys.............LOL.
  6. Hey Riley I gained 5 pounds the other day between breakfast and dinner. I really think the scale is playing games with me cause I don't think you can gain 5 pounds in a day................OMG I hope not. It was gone in the morning. But don't stress about the scale. I am still 212 this morning but 212.5 instead of 212.9. I sorta gave up counting the points. I have 12 days to get down a few more pounds. 208-210 would be nice. eating 1000 a day is working better for me I lose faster. I don't lose when I do the 700-800 stuff. Figured that out last week. And my protien is way, way up this week too. I just don't know about the scales.....................they are whacked!! :-P
  7. can't wait to get my oil Nicole..........will be fun to try it out.!!
  8. Heather I have the flapping bat wings too!! I guess we have a choice bat wings or fat arms!!! LOL. Mine look like deflated balloons with the air slowing seeping out............LOL. YOur young your have a chance for them to shrink. I am not sure about me yet..........but I did get all the weights today!!
  9. oh the MJ shoes are in black and brown!! You have to chose I got black.......they also had a cream/grey color. I tried to cut and past the pictures over here but can't get it to work. go to amazon and type in Sketcher shape ups..............all the styles come up. I got the plain black ones with the criss cross strap.
  10. yea I only ate 800 today so I ate some yogurt and veggie lunch meat to get me up to 1000. I think I do better at 1000 or above. Kinda of weird to have to add a couple of things.................LOL. Getting ready to head out and get my daugther. SHe is leaving in the morning and we have to get to the bank and to get her shampoos and toothbrushes tonight.
  11. Chips? Ice Cream? Where? Where? Oh great I really want some......well forget the ice cream but Chips and salsa I am so there.............craving salt right
  12. Nicole you will know me I am the one with very little hair. Getting smaller and balder as we speak!!! LOL
  13. eggplant? how can you make that yummy?? Well I was looking at my DVD's exercise wise and I see I have enough.................I guess I won't be getting a new one!! LOL. I have the whole Joyce Vedral set and that includes arms, butt, stomach, bra and banana rolls and muffin tops. Where did she get these names? I decided I will do these for a month and than I can get a new one IF they aren't working..............they are intense weight lifting videos . I also found I have one Lower body definetion workout that is extra...............15 minutes a day to butt fitness!!! LOL. Any takers~~ Have fun at your party Nicole!!!
  14. it was nicole I didn't recogize!! Girl is shrinking away!! I am embarrassed!!!
  15. Candi is right the week after surgery is a bit of a bitch!! I was a bit shocked at how out of it I was and it hurt more than I thought it would. I don't know what I expected but not that...........but it fades quick and I am so glad I did it. Sorta like having a baby you aren't sure why you went ahead with it the first couple of days but the more time goes on the more you are glad you did it or ready to do it again in a minute. No regrets but I was low on energy for about 6 weeks. I took a month off work and needed all of it. I slept alot and didn't even get bored until the last couple of days before I went back to work................ Back to normal now!! No regrets. None at all!! BEst thing I have ever done and I think a huge part of my satification with my choice is all the new friends and new lifestyle I have going on now...............love hanging out with your girls and sad I missed yesterday.......still chilling today. Tomorrow I am gonna try to get out..
  16. Hey Candi!! OMG girl you look so different. I can totally tell you have lost weight!! Serious you do look different. Reggie: you have lost too I can tell!! Donna: Yea you got a picture posted so cool. Can't wait until the group fill and support group on the 25th. Go Donna go!! Donna you lost so much this month and were so quiet about it. I am impressed and wanna know your secret? Candra: I missed seeing you!! I love hanging out with you?? HEy the Sketchers store in sacramento is right by Kaiser westpoint...........and they have the MJ shoes. IN black and brown and also two different styles. ....hope everything works out with your friend!! Two new faces I don't know?? Help me out ladies!! WHo are the new faces. We need to post this over at the social group site too!! Heather, Chris, Jes, Maria, Riley, Tamra....................having a good weekend??
  17. Hey NIcole. I an interested in the grapeseed oil that pesto/basil one..............maybe the tuscan............have you tried either of those??
  18. 212 this morning. Thank goodness since I didn't eat great yesterday. I was 217 last night up five pounds in 8 hours are you kidding me??? Than this morning right back to 212. Something is messed up with that. I am not gonna weigh at night anymore cause I am always back to normal by the morning. Is that all the water I drink??? I want to be down another 2 pounds by the next group fill. I would LOVe to be down 4 pounds........8 pounds would put me at 50 pounds down!! Ah and 12 and I would be in onederland!! Ahh...........seriously gotta get moving today!! The days I eat over 1000 are the days the weight goes down. interesting.........gotta remember that. Candi-congrats wish I had seen you yesterday. I haven't seen you since a week after your surgery!! I won't recognize you!!
  19. Nicole wishing you the best today. Have a great party!! If I was feeling better I would head up that way since my daughter left with friends for the day and won't be back until tonight. I have some freedome!! :-P I am wiped out this morning still but by tomorrow I will be better!! :-) I hope. Candra I will check the box. I know you can order them online at amazon I think. I will check. Skechters website is sold out. I think I talked my mom into getting some to. I LOVE them but I am bit sore today...........which make me love them more!! LOL. I am getting use to the horse shoe feeling........treading lighter so I don't clump/clomp my way around!! LOL. Now I just wonder if I get on the treadmill with these clod hoppers how I will feel tomorrow..........I think I am gonna try to get up and to the gym today. I do know my knees are better with these shoes....I think they will become my favorites cause my knee didn't go out yesterday and it usually does when I walk that much...... Ok sketchers can just hire me now!! Truths is I have always worn and liked Sketchers anyway. Candra if I was closer I would come help you move your friend!! You are a great friend!!
  20. Hey ladies still laying around..........I have to get moving tomorrow. Now my daughter is getting sick and she has to leave for camp this weekend............ Didn't eat to good today. I had salad, salad..............ah salad.............yogurt and some veggie protien stuff and........wheat thins!! I need to go to calorie count and see the damage.
  21. Yea only sketchers has them right now. My mom works right by the store so I talked her into going over for me. I gave her a check. They said they are selling out like crazy and I was afraid to wait until I felt better........LOL. They told my mom they are selling 140-160 a week. I want to get the tennis shoes .......the white ones ........like Candra has but next month. I feel it in hips and butt. Not my calves. I also felt like I had to stand up straight to balance myself...........so my stomach felt like it was pulled in somehow.......... I will probably wear them all the time. I did take them off a bit a ago they were tiring me out!! LOL. I wanted to walk around on flat ground!! LOL.
  22. Hey girls sorry I missed out. Sounds like it was fun. I am still wiped out....... I did get the sketcher shoes Candra!! My mom brought them home for me and I have been walking around the last two hours. I fill it in my hips ............makes me walk sorta funny and they have big thick soles.....but hmm I can feel something hurting and I think that is a good thing.....I got the mary janes and they are cute. Gonna see how they work and than maybe workout once later next month. Good grief they make you pull her butt in and make you strech your stomach muscle...........just a weird feeling.......sorta feel like horse shoes!!! Clump, clump, clumpity clump.............I think they are working!!! :-P
  23. I am down two pounds this morning. I am shocked because I got up about 11pm last night and ate some organic cheez its I figured it was all over after that.............my body is weird!! But not complaining. I would love to be at 208 by the next fill but I would even be happy with 210.............we'll see how it goes.
  24. I can't be there. Just woke up and still not feeling like moving. So sorry I am disappointed but don't want to spread my germs............laying low again today. I will miss everyone and hope we do something soon so I can come next time.
  25. Reggie I was home sick today. Depends on how I feel in th morning. Tomorrow is my 9/80 so I won't be at work either way. The county won't let us work any overtime so I don't go in on my day off anymore like I used to. They send ya right back home!! LOL. Wow 6ccs at surgery is alot Reggie. I have had two fills and I am only at 5.5cc's. Less than you. I would be disappointed about no fill but I wouldn't want to be to tight either cause it hurts to PB. Ladies I will try to make it. Still not up and around so I don't know yet.
