Thread: Lovely Losers laughing lots! September 2012

Wow I though this sore throat and cold were an Alaska fall thing now I read that on here lots of you ahve a fall cold too
I had it bad for a week.......... Finally feel more like my self today
Still doing good with the 100 for my shots but still think it is crazy that the clinic perscribes 225 wow
Having steady and even days mostly now
I usually see a loss form a busy day like a whole day after
Guess I worded that confusing like if i am really busy on Sunday I see the results on tuesday morning on the scale not on Monday morning
Does any one else experience that.......
Happy losses Ladyies

down another lb for 5 in 2 days. only 5 above former ldw. yay!

Hello, Lovelies!

Alaska - so glad you've found what works best for YOUR BODY; shows us all, just because someone works in a "clinic" doesn't mean they know what is best for YOUR body. Yes, I'm the same as you - I usually see gains/losses in 48 hours instead of 24; so I was glad that my weight stayed the same this morning. Well, not really "GLAD" - would have loved to had a loss - but I've been totally petrafied to eat anything really high carb - Monday my carbs totalled 106, but as I said, my weight went DOWN 2 pounds the next day; I had 74 carbs yesterday and my weight was the same today.

Tanya - another pound bites the dust - hooray!

3rdtimer - holding steady is ALWAYS better than seeing a gain!

Denise - I tried a vodka combo drink last night - Three Olives Cake Vodka & diet Ginger Ale - DELICIOUS!! Thanks so much for the idea! Although I'd call it a "sneaky drink" because you don't really taste the alcohol - those sort of drinks can really bite your *** hard the next morning, but I was good - I only had ONE & enjoyed it immensely. I guarantee if I had had ONE glass of red wine, my weight would have gone back up today. I'll do that experiment again this weekend, but I'm pretty sure I'm sensitive to Red Wine (damn it).

Bobbi - hope you are feeling better today, GF.

Thanks for your encouragment EB, I was not complaining I meant my weight is down (not my mood LOL) despite eating the fries. I chose to eat them and have no regrets. I have been doing this since December, an occasional treat is welcomed.

I think this was directed to Christy ...I have never had this...sounds good though. I'm wondering if it would cause me to crave sugar hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm??

Just got back from a huge water workout...for me anyway LOL. 1¼ hrs of water jogging and stretches and then 45 minutes of INTENSE aquafit...gruelling instructor LOL

I had muscle cramps so just ate a banana...heading to bed exhausted.


nighty 'night ladies xo

Good Morning, Lovelies! Hope you are BIG LOSERS today!

Bobbi - WOW - that is a TON OF EXERCISE!! Do you ever see a gain the day or two after? I always do (i.e., I'll do my big exercise night tonight, then tomorrow I'll be up at least 2 or 3 pounds). I know it is water weight, but then once you lose the water, shouldn't your "regular" weight GO DOWN? Mine never does.

Three Olives brand vodka makes the Cake flavored and so far, it is my favorite. When I am almost insane craving something sweet (doesn't happen often) I will take that out of my freezer, pour myself a vodka glass full (tall ones, heavy, weighted bottom) & sip it. Denise gave me the idea of mixing it with a carbonated beverage and since diet ginger ale doesn't have any caffeine, it is a perfect evening cocktail for me. I tried it last night with the Three Berry version and didn't like it near as much as I do the Cake - it wasn't as sweet, so hubby did like it better. Just depends on your taste. I'll next try the Smores flavor as it gets colder - think it would be good in decaf coffee on a cold night.

AFM - I didn't weigh this morning as I had 2 ozs. of a new brand of cashews Costco is carrying (Hooty's salt & pepper) - they were VERY salty, and even though the calories were within my limit, I felt kinda puffy this morning. Why set myself up to feel bad today just because of water weight, when I'm weighing myself tomorrow anyway?

Hubby got my expensive exercise ball back in shape (God love him!); started doing 50 situps a day this week, will increase by 25 each week until I can do a minimum of 200 a day. My waistline expands - might as well try & tighten/tone it up as much as I can. I also do lunges, squats & upper body exercises with hand weights (4, 5 & 8 lbs.) - all that, plus walking Rev each day, will give me a daily minimum of 45 min of exercise. Then if I have time to hit the gym as well, so much the better.

My bp at the chiropractor yesterday was 165/95 - super high, keeps going up no matter what I do or supplements I take to try & lower it (i.e., added Iodine & CoQ10 for past 2 weeks to my daily regimen). I KNOW IT IS MY WEIGHT that keeps it up there. Fingers crossed that next week Doc will agree to put me on RX hcg for a long round & I can get rid of 25 or 30 pounds . . . which I'm sure will lower that BP considerably.

Back to the grindstone - will check in later.
