Got a question... Has anyone tried the Medifast Diet and lost any weight? Many thanks for any answer. My 2nd question... This is a club dedicated to the Betty Pages of the Medifast world. The rock-a-billy harlets, the va-va-vixen starlets, and anyone else who wants to connect with their inner vixen are welcome here.. |
|
|
|
I would like to know the answer too. Anyone here know what is the answer to that question. I'll do some research and get back to you if I got an useful answer. You should email the people at Medifast as they probably can help you..

Good Monday Morning to everyone.
I am up bright and early, back to school & work today for us.. |
|
Good morning glories!.
First things first my report to. Carolyn. !. Friday. 100% OP and exercised (woo woo!). Saturday. 100% OP (ok, I DID have a few cashews, and I honestly don't know if these are OP, but I was at an all-day training, and do you know what I passed UP for those cashews?! breakfast tacos, bagels, pita chips/hummus, cheese cubes... so i'm calling it a win.. ). Sunday. 99% OP and exercised (was at an all-day shoot helping out some friends, and I didn't realize how long i'd be there so I wasn't prepared with meals lesson learned! so I did eat a few baby carrots and pita chips. could done much worse, but admittedly... they're not OP, so I know I didn't earn those 100 points!!!).. |
|
Morning Girls!!.
Hey. Amy. And. Taylor. !. Busy weekend for me, had to go goodwill shopping as I needed some clothes, did a bit of home repair and was sick Sunday.. Okay my report for. Carolyn. !. Friday: 100pts. Saturday: 100pts. Sunday: 100pts.. I didnt excer. cause I was having a bad fibro and Migraine weekend. Okay off to work again I go!.. |
|
Ok,.
Caro. , so if my math is correct, that's 300 points for the weekend. not bad!. How's everyone doing this morning? it's gonna be another craaaazy work week, but i'm actually feeling ok about it.. My weekend was pretty good. ryan and I were snippy with each other on friday (more on that later), but things were better on saturday. I had to facilitate a retreat for work most of saturday, then I just enjoyed the day it was beautiful and sunny! sunday went for a long walk in the morning with ryan, which we've never done. we always go in the afternoon or evening, so it was nice to start the day that way. then I helped some friends with a video shoot for their web series. it's called "freelancers" if anyone wants to check it out! links below.... Episode 1 (only 7 min). Episode 2 (5 min). And i'll be in episode 4! as an extra... |
|
Morning.
Amy. And. Tiffany. !. Tiff. , thanks for the reminder.... I need to go to goodwill tonight to find some work stuff! how's bax doing?. Amy. , hope you have a great first day back! I know it's hard..... |
|
Thanks Taylor.
Im doing good. During the day is the easy part it's in the evenings and dinner time that I struggle. My computer is being stinky and wont let me get on facebook. I dont know if it's a problem for other people or just me.. |
|
Hola chicas!! Two more days to be OP and some of you can wave a pretty banner!.
For me -. Friday - 150. Saturday - 150. Sunday - 100. Today will be a 100 day as well. I don't plan to exercise today. It's that time of the month and I feel exhausted.. How was everyone's weekend?. Amy. , have a great day, hope it goes well.. Tiffany. , hope you feel better soon. Good for you for staying OP while not feeling well.. Taylor. , the video shoot sounds like fun! I will check out the videos in just a second... |

Morning Ladies,.
Today I can take a breath at work.. I had a ok weekend. Friday night I had a ton of people at my house. My aniexty kept me from doing that for a while. It is going to sound dumb, but I don't have many decorations in my house. In the common area I keep it very simple. I hate clutter big time. I only had ONE panic attack when people were showing up and asking me questions on stuff. I didn't have any margaritas, even though I probably could have used it.. I had a friend spend the night. She broke up with her boyfriend and needed to relax. My dogs are VERY happy to hang out with her, and snuggle.. Saturday I had a lesson at 10, so we got up and went to ride. I had a great lesson and cantered over a 2 foot jump. That again is amazing for me because I have SO much fear cantering over jumps. The horse that I was riding is one of those great horses that she will not flip out if she knocks it over. She will just keep going. So after that was done the trainer took Mick out for a show off session. He is SO beautiful. In a couple of weeks I will take a video of him. I had to run and get gas for the truck and here is a HUGE NSV. My trainer's hubby needed me to get some diesel in a portable tank for him. He of course threw it in the back of the truck near the cab. Saturday, I just hopped in, and jumped out. I was not so humilated climbing up in the back of my truck like a walrus.. Than here is the part that I am not proud of. I have been fighting HORRIBLE cravings for stupid jelly beans for 3 weeks now. I was in so much pain Saturday night from female stuff, and I had a moment in my resolve. The logical side lost out, and I ate them. I ended up throwing the rest away before I did to much damage but I went 4 months without a slip. Yesterday I was right back on plan 100%. He said that the cravings will come back the closer I get to goal. I just need to keep my resolve strong. The good part is that I didn't closet eat. I told them about it and admitted my oops. Before I would have just kept it a secret. I know that I will have 3 days of H3ck getting back into fatburning stage but that is the price you have to pay for a lapse in judgement. The good part is no more cravings, and the pain has gone away... |
|
Amy.
- Good luck with a day back. I miss spring break. Taylor. - all your fun weekend stuff sounds amazing. I cant see the videos from work but will look later.. Carolyn. - Way to go on being OP! You are doing so well!! I feel much better today. Just took my migraine meds and muscle relaxers all day yesterday and the huge knot is almost gone. Katie. - YAY for an easier work day. I feel you on entertaining anxiety. I have horrible problems with that myself. I never have people over. Glad you got through it. And yay for getting right back on plan after the Jelly Beans.. Baxter is an idiot dog. I spent 130 bucks Friday all because he is addicted to grass and it is making him very ill. So he had to take all the meds cause his pancreous is all inflamed from vomiting (because of eating grass). So now I have to watch him like a hawk and somehow stop him from eating grass. And I had JUST bought a new dog door for him. Now I cant use it cause he cant be trusted to be outside by himself. The trainer is coming by Thursday.. |
|
Bad Baxter. Tuggy only eats grass when he has an upset tummy. After he eats it, it brings everything up. It is so pleasant when he yaks up a pair of my underwear. Dang dog..
I am feeling better today just have the headache from all the sugar. I have been doing so well, and my resolve slipped.. OH one thing that I am going to do this summer which I enjoy is canning. Having so many food allergies makes buying condiments - salsa, salad dressing, etc is hard. There are so many food additives that I seem to have issues with. SO I bought the book from Ball on canning. There are some recipes in there that I am going to make. My mom laughs because I am someone she never expected to can, but with having these stupid food allergies you do all sorts of funny things... |
|
Aww, sorry about Baxter,.
Tiffany. .. Katie. , will you grow any of your own veggies for the canning?.. |
|
Carolyn: I will probably grow some but in containers. Where I live my soil is sandy. Had I planned to do this before winter I would have brought some horse manure over and rototilled it in the ground to fertilize. I didn't plan well enough so I wasn't able to make it better. I have a local farmer's market and auction that I can get produce from. One of the guys at the farm I keep my horses at will go with me to buy stuff.
It is just so hard with food allergies to know what exactly goes in your stuff. I get something thinking it is ok, and I get sick. I really need to get retested... |
|
Katie.
- sorry about all your food allergies that has to be really hard. I grew up on homemade everything and it's awesome. Best of luck with canning! It can be really fun.. My Granny would make her own jam and applesauce too! Still my fav applesauce on the planet. She would also make pear-sauce (which is good btw and I dont like pears). Man I miss all that stuff. No one in my family does it anymore. Granny is just too old and stuff now days and no one else is into that stuff. Heck if I didnt work (like all my cousins and 2 of my aunts) I would so be that person who cooked and canned and stuff. I will not do housework but I will feed an army.. |
|
Katie.
- you and I have almost exactly the same amount left to lose. YAY US!!.. |
|
Tiffany: I am not sure if my goal weight will stay at 150 or not. I really want to get to a normal BMI which starts at 148. I probably will try to get down to 140. I know it is just 10 lbs but it really makes a difference with our health..
So if I do that, I have 29 left to lose... |
|
Katie.
- I did the same thing. My original goal was 150. Not sure if I want to get all the way to 140 though now. I will see how I feel and look at 150 and 145. Just so hard to guess... |
|
Bye Amy!.
Sorry Carolyn I was doing a project.. Right now I am SOOOOO Ticked off!!! I just started TOM. I am not supposed to start TOM until next Friday!!! This means yet again I am going to have 2 TOMS in one month. I am sooo sick of this. This has only been since Medifast and I cannot wait to be at goal and transition to non-Medifast. I cannot handle 2 TOMS a month much longer.. |
|
Oh.
Tiff. , I am so sorry. My periods seem to be getting further apart, but they are definitely heavier and my cramps are more painful while I am on MF. The soy, I guess.. Look how close you are to goal, though! Stay OP and you will get there so soon!.. |
|
Sorry had to go to post office to mail a few things. Tonight I REALLY, REALLY need to sit down and pay bills. Mondays are my day to get things like that done at home. The dogs will be SO happy to have momma time..
So far I have stayed 100% OP yesterday and today. I haven't beat anyone yet.. Tiffany: With the health issues that I have the lower weight will really help. Also I know that I will muscle up when I start doing more regular weight lifting and endurance riding. I know that most likely I will gain muscle weight, which is fine. People are like you have lots of skin, that may be true but it is not all skin, there is still quite a bit of belly fat there. That will come off with the last 20-25 lbs... |
|
Thats cool Katie. I am really big boned so I am not sure about what weight I need to be at. Everyone keeps telling me I am good now, but I want to be at LEAST 150. I think 153 or 155 for me is just into the normal BMI. I want to have a bigger window than 3-5 lbs to be overweight again. I may just do 145, it depends..
I am starving today! I even ate a snack and I never eat a snack. But man o man I am hungry. Stupid TOM... |
|
I wish mine were further apart. Crazy thing is I am on the pill but I am still haveing crazy TOMs. I was talking to my dr and long term I will not be using Medifast products for Maintinance. I know I cant have the soy products (makes me have cold and hayfever symptoms) but there is also something else that messes me up with Medifast products. So once in Mantinance I will have to figure it out. I am terrified of Mantinance as I fear I will fail and gain it all back...
|
|
Morning gals! Stay strong.
Mimers. !!!!!. Good job to all the super OPers this weekend!!. Bummer about 2 TOM Tif- yuck!. Love the canning idea Katie! Awesome! I love homemade canned jams/jellies mmmm. My Nana and Gramps made them too.. nothing beats it!.. |
|
*from backreading*.
Katie. - Congrats on the truck scaling NSV!. Tif. - Sorry about the TOM issues with Medifast I am the opposite. I keep having to pee on sticks to make sure I am not preggo since my last cycle went 39 days between TOMs. Adding the cost of pregnancy tests to the mix is expensive. Sure, I could turn down the rare occassion I have to get my tank filled but I want to feel as normal as possible during this go-round with MF.. Carolyn. - Unlike everyone else, I was offplan and a bad bad girl all weekend. I made it until 7 pm Friday night. Ugh. I am attending my first real & actually verified location of an OA meeting this wednesday at 7 PM. I need help. I'm ashamed to report my failure but it's the truth so I gotta own up to it.. Tay. - I'm glad you are not going overboard on offplan stuff (unlike me!).. |
|
My cycles are SO goofy right now. I get more pain at Ovul week than during TOM. I also am pretty much like clockwork now. Before Medifast my cycles were all over the place. When I get it the only hint that I get is a backache the day before and funky cravings. Usually I want to go find some salt to lick.
Tonight I will put a heating pad on my belly. It helps with the cramping when it is bad. I need to bring a 2nd one to work. That way I have some relief sitting at my chair.. Goal weight is such a delicate subject with people. I know that there is a lot of skin there. My dr has broached the subject of me getting a tummy tuck already. I carry all my weight in my stomach. My thighs seem to have recovered with only a little bit of skin. My stomach..ugh..not pretty. I weighed 135 in junior high school and thought I was HUGE. I wore a 12 back than, and that was in the 80's SO you know that is more like a 8 or 10 now.. My 10's are all fitting and I am starting to be able to breathe in the 8's. I have a bunch of jeans that my therpaist gave me. Which is great BUT I can't wear jeans to work. I never know when I am going to get pulled into a meeting... |
|
I don't even want to think about the loose skin issue. I know I am going to have a problem in the belly area also...
|
|
Hop back on the horse,.
Ash. Do you know why you did it? I hope OA helps. I hope it is a really good group. The group makes all of the difference... |
|
Ash.
- I hope OA helps! Best of luck girly. LOL on getting the tank filled. Charla. - Hi there!. Ugh lose skin. I dont even want to think about it. I got tons of it.. Well my last store finally closed. So I am off to run lots of reports.. |
|
Good afternoon, gals....
Tiffany. , sorry about bax! yikes. grass eaters are sneaky... my old paxton was a dirt eater. not. good. also sorry about the TOMs. It'll be over soon!. Ash. , i'm with caro. the group can make all the difference. I hope you find support and acceptance there! in the meantime, what do you need from us to be successful? other than huggles, I mean!. Katie. , i'm still trying to firm up some of that loose skin through exercise, but i'm going to give it a year or so of being at goal. so awesome that you're so close to goal. you and tiffany both!.. |
|
Ok first my report for Carolyn:.
Wed 150 Thur 150 Fri 50(ate off plan) Sat 150 Sun 150. Ash: I hope OA goes well for you, as great as these boards are, I think sometimes it is so important to have people that you can talk to face to face : ). Katie: My grandma was the same way with canning, she had a huge garden. She taught my cousins and I all how to do it, it's just a matter of finding the time. Congrats on your NSV and cantering over jumps, I am still not there. What kind of horse do you have??. Tiffany: that stinks about Baxter eating grass like that : ( My old dog Tera went through this period of eating out of the cats litter box (gross) and it made my life heck trying to constantly watch her.. I am with you guys about the loose skin...I don't want to think about it. I think my stomach probably carries 60 of the 80ish lbs I need to lose. I'm sure it will not be cute. I agree about giving it a year or so after reaching goal before thinking about a tummy tuck.. Have a great day!!.. |
|
Well girls I am off! Its raining cats and dogs here so I am leaving early. That and my report didnt run correctly anyways..
See you girls tomorrow!.. |
|
Heatherlea: I own a Irish Sport Horse. His daddy was imported from Ireland as a 3 year old. He recently passed on. My trainer gets about one of these a year from the ranch. Mick so far has been the best one that has arrived. She will probably get one next fall.
He is SO sweet and green. The horse that I was jumping is his half sister who has been under saddle for two years. She is a trip. I can hold my breath, scream and cry and she doesn't care. She will jump the jump. The second time I smiled and kept my eyes open.. What is funny is that the trainer picked out MIck for his size, but now that I have lost so much weight I really don't need the size he is. BUT I lub him so I will get him really trained to the movement in the saddle. He is being trained on all his flat work before he does much jumping.. Well here it is the end of the day and I have gotten all my water in(YEAH), two of the calories burns, and just have my lean & green and last meal.. Someone told me today that I probably will gain a ton of weight back when I eat real food again. I told her that I have a plan put into place, and that I will be having a 5 lb window. I gain 5 lbs, the 5-1 comes out. IF I go into denial, that is when I have issues. She was like..mm ok.. OH and someone at work brought chocolate cake in. I had to go drool over it but it has been OUT all day getting dry and icky... |
|
I know why I fell off. This weekend was an anniversary of something really sad & too personal to share but it got the best of me..
Big trigger set me off Friday night. I had all the tools to avoid it but I just fell off SO hard after saying "NO!" firmly for over 3 hours. I think I have limitations to how long I can fight. I feel like poop about it but it is, what it is.. I am back on - 100%. Again.. I am finishing my last of "green" wrapper bars this week & I shall not order them again until I am in maintenance land. They curb cravings but I think my addiction to sugar gets highly triggered by them, for whatever reason. I eat one & nothing else tastes as sweet for the rest of that day.. I am one Caramel Nut "Green" bar, one choc chip pancake "waffle", one COT soup "pizza" & one Crackuccino in so far today. I have had 7 glasses of water so far & guzzling more ASAP.. I have the headache already for ketosis & the funny taste in my mouth will probably pop up tomorrow.. I spent all weekend crying over how nothing fits, how slow & sluggish I feel - all while cramming majorly bad ish in my pie-hole. DUH!!!!!! How can doing the very thing that causes my misery be remotely helpful?. I just feel like such a failure - esp with how good everyone is doing here. I am SO proud of you guys. It's hard but I need to choose hard again.. I am treating this like the addiction it is - I want 30 days "clean" from sugar/quick-burning carbs.. Please keep your good vibes coming my way that the group of OA people on Wednesday is a friendly bunch. It's taking a LOT for me to swallow my pride & walk in those doors I can already feel anxiousness creeping up but it's a matter of which I want more - Junk or health. I really need health more than I ever needed junkfood... |
|
Ash, I'm sending so many good vibes your way. I hope OA helps. You can fly the 100% banner next Wednesday!..
|
|
OK I got through Day 2 of being 100% OP. The cravings aren't bad. Of course I am full so there is no fight..
I am hoping that ketosis kicks in the next day or so. I get a really sweet taste. It is like the after taste of something overly sweet... |
|
You know, I never get ketosis mouth, isn't that odd?.
This is Day 7 OP for me. I restarted for real last Tuesday. Tomorrow is weigh-in. It's been a long time since I've looked forward to weigh-ins!.. |
|
Carolyn that is great. I wish I didn't get ketosis mouth. It is like eww. As it is with the meds I take my mouth is dry every morning. I keep a bottle of water by the bed for at night..
Both my dogs are sitting on the couch with me. The poodle is on the other half of the heating pad, and my boxer is sitting behind me like a cat. Yes, I have room on the couch also. Thankfully the poodle is tiny... |
|
Morning Girls!!.
So amazing story. Yesterday I was dyslexic and missread the scale. I lost more than I thought!! YAY!!. I hate Ketosis Mouth! I get it really bad and it makes my breath stink. I also take a lot of meds which dont help me much either... |
|
Carolyn.
- I get 150 pts for Monday! YAY! I did 15 mins of Zumba and then like 20 on the Wii Fit. I am only doing 30 mins a day right now due to my health issues but I will hopefully build it up more... |
|
I am TRYING to get motivated to exercise..
I am going to set a goal for myself of something that I need to do. That will drive me to go to the gym. Right now I just have no real fitness goal because I am so focused on losing weight. Also I do tend to get dizzy sometimes if I workout to much with these low calories. I passed out once in spin doing WW'ers and eating only 1000 calories. SO I am a little gun shy from that experience... |
|
Katie.
- excersised really well for about 2 months back in Oct-Nov, but stopped due to my health issues. I have never really gotten back in the habit. I am very strict about following the only 45 mins a day rule. And honestly many times keep it to 30 mins. However I sometimes do not count my dog walks as he is a slow poke and we only do 15-20 mins to the start of our subdivision and back. Right now I am getting down about all my lose skin and the fact that I am in my 20s and will never be cute again. So I am really trying starting last night to excersise. I have the Wii Fit Plus and the locker room lets you pick areas of concern and it makes an excersise routine for you. I picked Tummy, Arms and Hips&Thighs. I plan on doing a mix of Zumba and Just Dance 2 for Cardio and then Wii Fit for a few toning moves. I know it doesnt have weights but I want to get the moves down and then do them on my own with some light free weights... |
|
Tiff.
, you can always be cute! Don't let getting older make you feel otherwise!. Cute is a state of mind!!. Katie. , a lot of people recommend focusing on the weight loss while on the 5 & 1 and not worrying about exercise until later. I work out because not only do I love it, but it helps me manage my bipolar symptoms. Exercise is a huge part of that. It would be detrimental to my mental health to not work out. Working out can lead to a slower loss and that is frustrating, but it is the way I have to go. Do what works for you and you can add in exercise in transition and maintenance... |
|
Carolyn.
- Congrats on your moving ticker. YAY!. I mean cute as in saggy skin from being so big, not being older. I just feel bad that I will always have this lose skin already... |
|
Tiffany: I wouldn't worry about it. I really am trying not to freak because skin empty of fat is much easier to disguise than skin full of fat. I have 4 parts of my health makeover. First 1/4 Lose the exercise weight. Second Quarter: Get fit & Fabolous. Third Quarter: Build Endurance.
IF my tummy needs a couple of nips & tucks it won't be any time soon. I need to maintain since I seem to stink at that. My friend had a arm lift, breast lift, thigh lift and tummy tuck. The most I will need is maybe a b00b job, and tummy tuck. I probably will just leave my chest the way it is.. |
|
Carolyn: I have suffered with depression so badly and have aniexty. Most of my aniexty is from being afraid of someone laughing at me. That really gets tested at the gym. I know no one is watching me but I still have to fight it. Also it doesn't help that I was taking a dance class and was showing hubby my moves. He outright laughed at me.
I know that I haver zero rythem but I was trying... |
|
Morning,.
Katie. ,. Tiffany. , and. Carolyn. ! how's everyone doing?. Caro. 100 points for me yesterday. no exercise... trying to figure out when i'll have the time to between now and friday! rehearsals every night. maybe I can walk around the building at lunch (when it stops raining...).. Hope everyone has a great tuesday!.. |
|
Way to go, everyone, on your losses!.
Free tip: the movie "limitless" with bradley cooper and robert de niro is BAD. I admit... I was entertained (because I am easily entertained), but it ain't good... |
|
Taylor.
- thanks for the movie tip. I was thinking of seeing that one too.. Katie. - I did Zumba all alone in my house. I did ballet for years but that really requires no rythum you just do exactly what they say when they say it. I know I stink at Zumba, but I had fun doing it last night and I know my feet dont do what their feet do either. I have a fear of being laughed at too. I am trying to get my closest friend her to come do Zumba with me at my house. Maybe you could do something simular?.. |
|
Morning everyone.
My Daughter started soccer last night, she did really good but it was sooo cold out. I came home and took a hot bath, My youngest son starts his practice's tonight. Im not looking forward to 4 night a week or soccer and we live to far away for me to come home during practice, I may walk around the field while they practice.. |
|
Morning.
Amy. - Thats a great idea about walking! Glad she did so well her first try... |
|
Tiff she has played soccer before but not since 1st grade I think, so it's been a few years..
|
|
Morning Lovelies! WTG on the losses girls!.
Amy. That's a great idea to walk around while they practice. I've seen other parents doing that. I'd probably be in my car reading a book or playing Angry Birds. (after my walk of course...haha). Taylor. I liked Limitless but maybe because I don't get out a lot and BCoop's eyes!. I've been busy taking the photos for the school memory book. It's going quicker than I thought it would. yay! I don't think I'll have to go in again until next week to finish up the last 3 kids and any re-takes.. I also worked at the library today... |
|
Tifanny.
That is great about losing more than you thought! Saweet!!!!. Taylor. ..hope it stops raining!. I'm off to work out....... |
|
Hey Heather!.
Have fun working out! I know sometimes being mildly dyslexic can pay off!.. |
|
Hey.
Amy. ! I like the walking around idea, too. what's the weather like right now?. Heather. , yeah... bcoop's purrrrty.. No denying that!.. |
|
I feel connected to him now that I know he grew up around me and went to my niece's h/s.He just did an assembly for them and the guy who wrote Tron too...
|
|
For you Bradley Cooper fans, did you ever watch Alias with Jennifer Garner? Loved that show!.
Amy. , the walking sounds great.. Heather. , the memory book photos sound fun!. Tiffany. , I am going t o have so much loose skin. I can't even think about it right now. I'm totally open to plastic surgery, though. If I can find someone who will do a payment plan with me... one of my childhood friends had gastric bypass. She lost so much weight and she has an uncle who is a plastic surgeon and he did the loose skin fix. Katie. , I am so sorry about your anxiety. I used to have this online buddy who was agorophobic. She didn't even want to leave her house. It was really bad. Maybe you can do some dance tapes at home when no one is around?. Hi. Taylor. With the fun life!.. |
|
Oh,.
Carolyn. , I loved bcoop in alias!!! sweet will... those piercing blue eyes were my favorite back then, too. I vacillated between being attracted to will and sark, but will always won. sigh. that was such a good show.. Heather. , that's so cool that he grew up around you and that he does assemblies for the kids! I love that.. Speaking of... since this has become the bcoop forum for a brief moment, there's another Hangover movie coming out. this is the trailer they showed last night. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xXBjtAGIzE. I love trailers like this! afterward, I was all... whaaaaat?.. |
|
Morning gals!!.
Amy- Walking is a great idea! I did that last year with Coop during baseball practice and games at fort rock because I could see the field- this year they've moved the games to a bigger field so we will see!. I was 100% OP yesterday..... |
|
Yeah I have several exercise dvds at home that I can do..
I don't mind leaving the house thankfully, and I will get over the gym aniexty after a couple of weeks. It is more the old thinking "IF I go people are going to see how fat I let myself get and out of shape". Even though my reality is that I have lost tons of weight since they saw me but really out of shape... |
|
Uh huh!! I was staring at his eyes wondering if they enhanced the color. Soooo blue!..
|
|
Taylor I loved that trailer! Thanks for sharing!!.
I did my work out. It's hard for me if I miss it in the morning but I pushed myself.. Carolyn I was so stressed about taking the memory book photos, I'm doing their individual portraits. It is kind of fun now that I can relax a little with it. I still have to crop and resize 80 photos though... |
|
Katie I work out at home all the time. I love the Firm dvds...
|
|
Do any of you ipod/iphone/ipad people play Words With Friends? It's basically Scrabble but you play on line. it's a free ap and Riley has got me hooked on it. You can play a bunch of different opponents at one time and come and go as you please. You need a wifi connection...
|
|
Taylor the weather is a little crazy right now but I am use to it, Its Central Oregon and everyone says if you dont like the weather just wait 5 minutes. Yesterday we woke up to 2 inches of snow then in the afternoon it was sunny and nice, and this morning it was a little cool and trying to spit some more flakes. Suppose to be 60+ by the end of the week, we shall see.
I dont know who you guys are talking about so I am gonna look it up. Morning Charla.. |
|
Mmmmmmmm ok I know who he is now.
Hottie & the same age as my Hubby.. |
|
Heather.
, I love Scrabble, but don't even own a cell phone. I play on FB with some friends... |
|
I play on my ipod touch. I will play regular Scrabble too but this is just fun, quick and portable...

Isn't he? I couldn't believe you didn't know who we were talking about?.
Carolyn, he was on Alias? I never watched that show. I might watch it on netflix... |

Amy.
, people say the same thing about austin. the weather here changes abruptly sometimes. except from july-september! always hot, hot, hot.. Heather. , I love words with friends! i'm tay_over if you wanna play with me. I love regular scrabble, too, but I love playing games in short spurts... |

I am so impressed by you ladies that do Zumba....I tried it once and just couldn't get it : ( I lack any sort of rhythm. I think part of me was so nervous that I would look ridiculous that I couldn't get into it at all.....I may have to give it another try. It would be nice to change up my workout with something fun like that..
Katie~ Your horse sounds awesome!! As a kid I used to do junior rodeo so I have always ridden quarter horses or paints, but after years of being away from riding (avoided due to weight) I am begining dressage lessons soon. I am thinking that after a few months of lessons with school horses I will start looking into finding one of my own : )). Carolyn~ I am the same, my phone is so old it cant even text so I am out of the loop when it comes to all of the apps people have. I do love scrabble though so I am sure I would be playing all the time if I could!. I totaly forgot that BC was even on Alias, I am going to have to go back and watch it all agian : ).. |

Heatherlea: I had a QH for years. He just recently found a new calling doing theraputic riding. He was my bud, and I miss him. He had a funny sense of humor. When I would fall off which happens sometimes, he would go running off, and come trotting back to me. He occasionally would give me a good buck when I did something wrong, or if he thought my ego was getting to big..
Dressage is quite a bit of fun. My riding has come a long ways since riding dressage. I am much to big of a weenie to do barrel racing and flags. I like to canter, not gallop... |
|
LOL all you girls and BCoop!.
Heatherlea. - Did you do a Zumba class or a DVD? I would never be brave enough for a class as I have seen many. But the DVD (or at least the ones I have, not the NEWEST version) seems a little less crazy at first. Still a tough workout but it builds up and I was actually doing most of the moves. I didnt look like them but I was doing it.. I am HORRIBLE at Scrabble. I cannot spell and am mildly dyslexic so yeah, I fear that game.. Well off to make some Medifast Tomato Soup. I really wish I had not ordered any soup this time around. Oh well. I love the soup chips but I have issues making them. So if any of you girls have tips please share... |

Oh.My.God. My gas is wicked today..
I hope this post doesn't show up as a discussion board highlight on the community page ...... |

Ok, y'all. need some tough love. there are kolaches and donuts in the kitchen and I have gone in there THREE times in the past half-hour when I didn't need anything. i'm tempted to just throw the whole box in the trash!!!! but my co-workers wouldn't like that. it's ridiculous. I think I need to just leave the building...
|
|
LOL Carolyn!! Must be going around I let out a #10 Beer Burp without the beer this morning. I know it was a #10 cause the coworker 2 doors down (in the same suite) heard me and informed me..
Gotta love the Medifarts and burps... |

Taylor! You can do this be strong. Step outside for a moment to get a breath of fresh air. List your goals out in your mind and how much easier things will be at goal. Have a diet coke. I know weird but I swear it helps my hunger. Oh and the killer...google the product and look at it's nutritional value AND take a good look at the serving size, then multiply out to a whole donut and see your head explode..

Taylor.
, I have it on good authority that someone sneezed on them and boogers flew everywhere. Ew!!!!!!.. |
|
Taylor.
I just started a game w/ you but I will be out for a few hours w/out wifi. Riley is trouncing me w/ all her SAT vocab words... |
|
AHHHHHH!!.
I have now been on hold over 30 mins!!! I have to get my phone nad internet fixed and I have a service scheduled for 5-7 pm. At 3:15 I get a call from the tech that his is there NOW. So I have to call and reschedule my appoinment, but I am on indefinate hold. They keep messing things up I am sooo p***** they need to answer soon or I wont even beable to control my anger when they do answer. They have messed this up SEVERAL SEVERAL times already and I am ticked I dont have dependable phone! It is making my house alarm not work... |
|
Thanks.
Carolyn. , I am still on hold. At this rate it will be after the original 5-7pm before I can get anyone... |
|
THANK YOU! i'm happy to report I walked away unscathed. I ended up leaving, taking a late lunch and going to do my grocery shopping (which I was going to do when I was persuaded to go to the movies last night! no, wait... it was my idea...). I got lots of good fresh, green stuff and treated myself to a string cheese..
Back at work, enjoying my vanilla pudding and about to crack into a diet DP! (good tip, tiffany.) whew!!!!!!. Tiffany. , i'm sorry about the phone/internet stuff. who do you have? our only choice here is time warner, and I kid you not, they NEVER come within their scheduled window. never, never. I don't have cable or internet at home, but I went over to ry's to wait when he got it, and the guy came FOUR HOURS early. seriously?!?!?!.. |
|
That would freaking **** me off. Luckily here in my area, we have two competing companies. Helps keep things honest. Ya know?..
|
|
YAY.
Taylor. ! Way to go!!. I have Brighthouse for phone and internet. They are honestly supposed to be way better than who I did have (Centrylink formerly Emparq) and when it is working it is awesome!! But right now I am ticked to the T. And still on hold. Over an hour now. :slams head on desk over and over:.. |
|
Oh for actual "cable" internet or cable tv we just have the one in my area. Other areas of Orlando can get AT&T cable services. Not me.
And the phone company services were like turtles and had outragous hidden fees and such... |
|
Booooo, tiffany! not cool. keep us posted....
Heather. , yay for words! I play it all the time, so don't freak if I play back a word within 5 minutes!.. |
|
Okay finally got someone. I called using a different number and got someone immediately. So now I have ticked them off. I thought they were going to make the same guy come out, which I DID NOT WANT as I am sure he would be angrey from having to drive back out. But thats not true, I didnt realize that and had them start scheduling for Saturday and then realized that wasnt true and now I have asked if it IS possible to be serviced today. LOL now my service guy is frustrated at me..
I feel a little bad... |
|
HATE internet probs.. I had embarq where I lived for awhile they sucked!.
WE dont even HAVE cable available where Amy and I live-. Heatha-. I'll have to tell Tan about that app I bet he'd like it..... Amy-. What time is soccer to-from?. Sorry. Tif. That stinks.... I'm trying to get motivated to go work out for a bit on the elliptical/treadmill................... I dont like working out in afternoon but I have to go pick up Tan from school after track at 4:30 which is about 10-15 min away.. and the workout place is on the way....... |
|
You'll feel better after you work out.
Charla. ! I'm getting ready to go CrossFit in about 10 minutes.. Tiffany. , don't feel badly, they are the ones who had poor customer service... |
|
Well I am scheduled for Saturday between 3-5. So hopefully everything will hold until then we did a quick fix Sunday afternoon..
Charla. - I used to workout in the mornings but I just cant anymore. So as much as I HATE working out at night I am trying to do it. Last night I worked out one hour after my main meal... |
