 Seaborngirl 12 years ago | Whoops…that was meant to be 3 Stephanies…not 2! Boy I have a lot of Stephies to lose!!! |
| Seaborngirl 12 years ago | Hey….did I misunderstand Apensa? I understood that to be a goodbye note everyone! I think he has jumped ship!!! I may be wrong! Chia..Bill and I aren’t into Valantine’s, but it doesn’t do any harm Lol… so you and Bob have a wonderful night at church and then at that amazing Italian restuarant. Sounds very spesh! That is terrible you get to eat two valentine meals….shocking!!! We are actually going out with the family that night to the local “cheap” chinese restaurant up the road…our kids out on the farm haven’t been out for a meal for so long, because of shift work and the floods and the farm work, so they decided because he has his four days off they would dine out.
So it will be a challenge for me!!!! I love chinese!!! But just as well it is not Thai, cause I love it even more!!!
Jackie…you look after yourself love…get that lovely little Angelina to run after you now!!! Hehe. One day she will honey….I can guarantee it…and yes, I have lost nearly half a stone, or 2 Stephanies (she was 800 grams at birth)…it feels so much better!
Hey Katie…find me on FB if you want….Bev Miskin.
Anyway, my man is coming home late tonight, so I need to get dinner on before I go get him…cheers everyone…have a great day, while I hopefully get a good sleep tonight!!! |
 stgeofun 12 years ago | Chia…what part of Iowa do you live in? My son’s family is in Bettendorf. He works for John Deere in Molene, Ill. Your Italian restuarant sounds wonderful! When I’m in Vegas, I like to go to Nora’s. That’s where the locals go and the Italian is out of this world. Hmmmmm, I’ll probably put a pound or two on just thinking about it! lol Have fun on Valentine’s Day! Jackiee…so sorry to hear that now you have the flu too! This has really been the year for fllu. I got a terrible cold, and that lasted three weeks, I’m so glad I didn’t have the flu though. Hope you get well soon! I’ll check in with everyone tomorrow! Take care! |
 CHIA 12 years ago | JACKIEE – I’m so sorry your little girl is sick, and that you now share it with her 🙁 Sounds like she may be getting better though if she took your computer 🙂 I have not lost anything for a while. Our church had a Valentines dinner last night and I ate everything. Thursday, Valentine’s evening, Bob is taking me out to a very nice Italian restaurant, Dodici’s, in our home town. We have bible study at 6:30 PM in another town, and then will come home and have reservations at 8:30 PM for dinner. Their food is wonderful – Authentic Italian. The owner is from our home town, but moved and lived in Italy and married there and had her family, for many years. They came back to Iowa about 10 years ago to be closer to family who were getting older, and started their restaurant here. All of the furnishings and decorations are from Italy — beautiful! One of my favorite places to eat, but is on the expensive side. Oh well, once in a while is great 🙂 Everyone in Trim Down have a wonderful and lovely Valentine’s day 🙂 I plan on getting back on my diet Friday 🙂 |
 jackiee 12 years ago | Good evening, good morning or good afternoon to you all, Not sure if I should say just a quick line…because it never ends up that way. 😀 ..thanks everyone for all the well wishes for my wee girl, her fever is coming down finally, I never got my walk in today, because I had to sit on the edge of the divan and stroke her head 90% of the time and even forgot my morning snack (not like me to miss food). Wee angel even wangled my computer off me when I was trying to catch up with emails. She kindly gave me her flu too….so sweet of her to share (not) 😉 Katie, with your patience and enthusium I’m sure it won’t be long till you see results your looking for. Seaborn just seen one of your post that you have lost more weight…way to go…excellent news. Have you got a walking buddy yet? or just you and camera on the rounds? Norunyan, so glad your hubby is home now. How are you managing with your walking at home? Thanks for the link Radisson. Goodluck on your 2nd week Slimasharon and hope this week is better for you Apensa Its been good reading everyones updates too, (when angelina’s in bed of course). Take care & best wishes for positve healthy eating everyone 😀 |
| stgeofun 12 years ago | jnelson…I discovered the easy meal planner that comes with the bonus package for signing up. It is much easier for meal planning. I have had the same problem of finding the time I need to prepare the suggested menu items. Try the easier route for a while, until you get really into the program. I have to admit all of the recipes that I have tried from the more complicated menu are delicious though, so try them when you can! Seaborn…I think you’re a person I’d like to get to know! 🙂
Have a great day! I’m not see too much progress on a change in weight and clothes fitting better, but I’m very happy with my blood sugars leveling out. I am willing to stick with this, the key is patience, I think. Good luck to everyone. We’re all in this together! |
 Radisson 12 years ago | Hi again! Please read the following article and stop worrying about your weight and BMI. http://www.trainingwithtonya.com/index_files/Page2237.htm |
| Radisson 12 years ago | apensa Shame on you for being so negative. |
 apensa 12 years ago | Well, completely disappointed at my progress, or lack thereof. Weighed myself yesterday after almost two weeks and I weigh more than I ever have. Still have the nice muffin top formed when I button my pants around the life saver I carry around my middle and my bra size has not changed……AA size trainer. I will admit that I am not sticking to the exact portions, cooking with the ingredients suggested although the fattiest thing I have had lately was a 9 OZ sirloin last night because we were invited out to dinner. This system is just too much trouble. I am not exercising as I should probably. Unfortunately, any exercise usually does more harm that good. I like being pain free. I wish you all the best of luck. |
| Seaborngirl 12 years ago | Katie…I got very bloated too, but have played a game of elimination to sort out what the culprits were…feel a lot better now.
Funny, Katie, my precious mother said I was a joy too, and even now with my middle brother just turned 65 yesterday, I am telling the boys things they never knew about our Mum or our Dad, because we didn’t know I was the only one who was privy to it all. I think an only daughter gets a very special relationship with Mum (or Dad probably). I also think having that having 3 girls (no brothers) competing with eachother and stirring eachother up, made it a bit tougher!!! Certainly wasn’t a joy sometimes!!! Hehe.They had their good moments, but we all get a good laugh about the way they stirred eachother. Lol! They get along now which is really nice.
Hope little Angelina is doing better today Jackie, and you all had a good night’s sleep.
Gotta go….happy cruising everyone…. |
 jnelson 12 years ago | I’m not doing very well so far. After a week I just managed to get my meal planner together and wonder how that will work- not much time for cooking! Too busy, I need to slow down.Will try to really get started on the meal planning tomorrow after shopping. |
| stgeofun 12 years ago | Could all of this grain that I am not use to eating be bloating me? Everyone talks about their clothes fitting better, or they are losing weight, and I am not doing either. I do like the fact that my blood sugars are good though. Just would really like to get some pounds off! |
| stgeofun 12 years ago | Seaborn..I’m so glad I had a daughter, but even more glad that the rest were boys! lol My beautiful daughter is very sensitive, even now at age 29. she is s joy though, my best friend!
I’ve done well today and was treated to a choir concert tonight!
Jackiee…I think I’ll probably weigh every day, it kind of doesn’t let me off the hook if I’m not losing, it makes me more determined to keep trying, however, I’m going to only record once a week. Last week I lost 3 pounds, but two back on, so the chart is not very impressive! lol
I’ve just discovered the simplified meal plan that came with the Trim Down Bonuses, so I think I’ll try that for a week or two. All this cooking is wearing me out (time pressures). I’m hoping by the end of next week, I’ll show some decline in weight or a better fit cause right now I think all this grain that I am not use to is just bloating my middle! YUK! Wish me luck! And good luck to all of you. |
 Norunyan 12 years ago | Hello everyone,I have just been reading everyone’s comments and it is good to see how all are doing.
Jackiee,sorry your baby is sick.Hope she is up and playing soon.
We are all home from the hospital so I will walk at home now.The drive is about 500 ft long.I plan to walk it once a day now and add to that later.The trip back and forth would not be enough but I do not like to go around in circles.The older I get the more I need to move around to keep myself moving.
I have not weighed but seem to go back and forth between 5lbs. Lost and 2 lbs. It will settle down soon.My sugar has improved and that keeps me happy.The food has been keeping me feeling full.All is good today. |
 slimasharon 12 years ago | Hi everyone, I’m just 9 days in to the diet and haven’t managd to follow it very well yet – better planning called for. Needless to say I haven’t lost any weight either BUT I noticed my winter’s coat is a little less tight so there is hope. I don’t do much by way of excersize although did spend 5hrs clearing a friends gardedn – diet went to pot as she kept bring me biscuits and cheese on toast.
so I’m hoping week two will be better.
Good luck to you all
