Hugs, Alice

Wow, BL was very touching. Kristen looks so good (105lbs). Aubrey was really having a hard time when she first got home. I'm glad she is back on track. Just shows how hard it really is. I'm tired. Good Night.

I have not blogged since March 10th and I have not been on here since 3/15. I have been like a crazy woman. Not to mentioned my niece did a Facebook page for me and I have tried to get on that thing. I have talked to a few of you over on facebook. I don't like all these sites. Nothing is more therapy for me than being right here. I  have been on an eating frenzy lately. I haven't even been on the scale all week. Not sure if I want to get on the scale. I just know that it is cold here and I am tired of cold weather. I need warmth. I got on here just to get a little warmth.lol I miss all  of you so much when I don't blog. Not to mention how bad I do in the eating and exercising department when I am not on here. I have to take my daughter to the dentist. I hope to get on later to check everyone's update. Take Care. Stay motivated.

Hugs, Alice

Ok Congratulations to Bets on the contest. You rocked! Thanks again Terry! Now please someone fill me in! Who got voted off? I have been so busy. I am running around like a crazy women. Never  enough hours in the day! I didn't even make it to weight watchers Saturday (BAD) I need to keep focused on myself a little. My daughter just started lacrosse again, work is crazy, and house is a mess. How do you just stop and write down everything you eat, plan your lunch, exercise and take care of your family? I feel like I am always jumping around and never getting organized. When I think I am headed to the gym something always comes up. I have read so many sites. Corey had good info to just find something at home to exercise to (dvds, my treadmill, walk). I know I all the things I want to do but just cant fit it all in. Something suffers somewhere. I am off tomorrow and I don't care if I go to that gym for 15 minutes. I am going dam it! I like leaving the house and going to the gym to get away from the house! I could never just diet, I have always had to diet and exercise or I don't see results. Tomorrow I am making a commitment to ME! Have a great day everyone! Stay motivated. Blog! Please write it down! Remember if you bit it write it. Oh and by the way I gave up candy, cakes and sweets for lent! Guess what. I have only been able to stick to no candy. Blew the cake thing ( Had a piece of apple pie)bad me. I have committed to sticking with no chocolate or candy though.

Hugs, Alice

Ok to all my friends the extra daylight is coming. Let's all get outside and walk or ride our bike on every nice day we get! Remember it's already March 6th and summer is fast approaching. My best friend from when I was a teenager has a daughter getting married May 29th. I want to get at least 15 lbs off!lol No really I do. I am going to continue to eat right, track my eating and start on the exercise heavy. I am going to committ right now to exercise at least 4 days a week hopefully 5 days. I don't care what I do as long as it is 1/2 to 1 hour 4 to 5 days a week. Make a committment with me! Set your short goal today. Stay motivated. Keep blogging. Thanks for all the wonderful comments. It is truly appreciated!

Hugs, Alice

Wow, I can't believe it! I finally had a nicccccccccccccce loss. Weighed in Saturday at weight watchers. I loss 3.6 lbs. Finally, my hard work is showing! I have been so busy with taking my mother to the doctors, groceries and cleaning her house that I forget to tell you all my great news! My mother has COPD (ex-smoker) and she has been having a really hard time breathing lately. I have been so busy! Sorry I am just catching up today as I am off work and trying to scrub floors, do laundry and all the other stuff we crazy moms do. I guess the eggs and bacon were not to bad after all!lol I can't wait to see what this Saturday brings at WW. I had a hard time planning meals this week and taking lunch to work so I am holding my breath for Saturdays weigh. My first priority is my mother right now. My girls were great they actually helped me clean my mother's house Sunday!lol Teenagers you never know what to expect. They love my mother so they were fairly glad to help. Somethimes I just feel like I am on a merry - go - round waiting for it to slow down not even stop. I have found that the real trick to losing this weight is to plan your meals and try to write down as much as you can (very hard to keep up with) and to blog as often as you can GOOD or BAD! I look so forward to talking with all of you! Stay motivated!

Hugs, Alice

P.S Anyone heard from Christy M?

Hey I deserve it and I wanted it! I ate eggs and bacon for breakfast! Yes you heard me! I wanted something good and I thought it is better than eating a donut! That is my new outlook. Choose things that will stay with you the whole day! Try to eat some protein. It is better than carbs that give you that high and than low and make you want carbs all day. I feel great and I am not hungry. I am going to get on the treadmill today! First time exercising in a long time. As I said before, my eating seems to be pretty much under control now I need to add back in some kick arse exercising. Weigh in for weight watchers is tomorrow. I am hoping for another lose even if it is a small one. My niece is 27 and has been going with me. She has been losing like me a little at at time! I told her this morning "It is better than a gain"lol. It does get a little discouraging but we all know that we are in this for the long haul! Summer is around the corner STAY MOTIVATED!

Hugs,

Alice

Hey, we have just a few months to tighten up our arse! Let's put the pedal to the medal. Let's just give it all we got. We will promise to blog and support each other as often as possible. In keeping with my promise, I am back on here tonight to motivate all my friends. We are going to do this. It is our year. Don't let this be another year that we start off 100 miles an hour and drop down to 10 miles an hour. I know it is hard. Sometimes I feel like I'll never get this shit off! I even ate apple pie and chocolate eclairs this week. I have been doing great! I have only lost little by little each week but IT IS better than a GAIN! My husband got a sweet tooth and bought goodies! I caved and ate! But this time I am not going to beat myself up and keep eating junk just because I had a bad day! I have done that all these years. I am my worse enemy. I feel like a failure the minute that I "CHEAT" eat. So be my life. This is a life change. I didn't gain this weight in a week and I am certainly not going to lose it in a week. I am not going to stop blogging or stop trying just because I mess up a little. I am going to stay motivated and I am not going to do what I did last April when I came back from winning the trip to California to see Biggest Loser. It was like someone through the freakin emergency brake on! I just stopping dieting and exercising because I was to busy to fit three to four days of the gym in. I slowly returned to my old eating habits and I felt like a failure. I realize there will be good weeks and bad weeks but that I can never never stop trying. I was so motivated last year when I met all the biggest losers. Bernie, Ally Kelly and the team were there. It was so exciting to meet them in person. If you all could have just seen their eyes in person. They were so happy and so thin. Roger was smaller in person than he was on the t.v. Bernie talked with Cindy and I for a while. Jim from the biggest loser the season before was also there. He told us to "Just do it" get started! Hell he went home and lost more at home he said. I don't know about you but I want to have one more chance of looking in that mirror and seeing the Alice that I know is inside of me. I can feel it this time. I figure if I only lose a pound a week. That is 52lbs in a year! That's better than last year! I may be talking to only 3 or 4 people right now but if I can help motivate you in the least little bit than it is worth it. If you have had a little set back - its ok! Just get up in the morning look in the mirror, bend over and kiss that fat arse good bye!lol I know you can't reach it yet, but it will be funny to watch yourself try!lol Have a great weekend! Do one exercise that you have not do in a while and blog about it~Wow, I better not make these so long or you will never want to read them. lol

Hugs, Alice

I know we don't have a lot of time to blog but we need too! We all are writing the same thing that we read but we haven't been blogging. Even if it is a little note 1 minute long. We need to try at least every other day! It's hard but I am going to make a true effort to get on line every other day! It helps with my goals tremendously(did I spell that right)lol. !I know that it helps you too! I feel bad that I don't get to blog and send everyone  emails so I want to try to set up a group to at least shout out every couple of days! Hell I don't anything about this computer stuff! I can't even post a picture! But I can blog o yes I can. Now I am late for the dentist, but you are all more important! So lets MOTIVATE! I Am going to try to add old photo that Cindy I and had! I did it! Help lose this fat arse!Please help!

Hugs, Alice

Hey I just weighed in at weight watchers and I only lost 0.2 lbs. I keep saying it is better that a gain. My husband is taking the girls and I sking and tubing tonight. I don't do either. I will be in the lounge reading my book and watching the people. I can't ski anymore because I have gained so much weight that I have no control when it comes to sking. I love tubing but the older I get the less chance I want to get hurt and be off work lol. I am looking forward to gettting away, I'll talk to you when I get home.

Alice

Hey everyone,Lets chat tonight at 9:30 pm.  I tried to set up a group messenger contacts. I don't really know what I am doing but I would like to all go on line tonight around 9:30 p.m. to chat. I hope it works. I guess we all just go on messenger and look for" biggestloserfriends" and start chating. This ought to be interesting. Even if we can't stay on long, just try it. We can always set up another chat evening when we are all available. Come on. Join in.

Talk to you tonight.
Alice

Hello Everyone,

Just taking a few minutes to log on to say I did lose 0.8lbs last week. Small lost but I will take it! I realize if you really write down what you eat (and really be honest, bad or good) you will lose. I know in my heart that if I start exercising the way I should that I could be losing 2 or 3 lbs a week because I have been eating so well. Life just gets so crazy! I stand on my feet all day three days to four a week at work for 10 - 12 hours. I come home cook dinner, wash clothes, run the kids where they need to go, grocery shop and do errands for everyone else! I know that I take to much on. My best friend Maria says that I just need to tell people no! I don't know if you all read some old blogs from last year but I have a daughter 15 and a niece 14. My niece came to live with me 5 years ago. Her mother had a stroke. My brother and her mother never married but we stayed very close. When Sally (nieces mother) had her stroke she could not take care of Harley so I brought her home with me. I love her just like my own daughter Taylor. They are great kids but typical teenagers. I have to yell to get them to clean their room or help fold their clothes. I clean this whole house all the time by myself. Once a month I have a girl come in and clean (which I look so forward to) and it doesn't last long. I work an extra day a month just so I can have this luxury. My husband works all the time. He has always been a very hard worker. But I have to handle everything. If I don't do it, it doesn't get done. I also take care of Sally because her own sister and brother don't even visit her. I feel bad for her because she is only 44 yrs old. I helped her get a small apartment in a senior/disabled apartment but I have to do her grocery shopping and bath her. Ready for this: Her uncle Wink is 72 yr old. I also helped him get in the same apartments and do his grocery shopping too! I wash their clothes and pick up their medications. I am on overloaddddddddddddd! My mother really gets upset with me because she is 78 years old and does mostly everything on her own. She has pulmonary obstructive disease and wears oxygen. I drive her to appointments because she can't walk from the car to the building because of her breathing. I know it sounds easy to say just stop, don't do it, but I am not that kind of person. I feel bad because they don't have anyone else. Long story short, I am so worn out that I don't have the time or energy to exercise. I keep saying that I am going to treat my gym time just like work and like I did last year. If I am at the gym, I am unavailable. So I wrote all this to explain when I say I am crazy busy, I really am. My goal this year is to try to put myself a little first. My husband and girls are my priority but I want to be next. Sorry I ran on so much but if I say where I am or what I am doing, you will know what I mean! So as of us fatties know, we eat when we are stressed! This has been my biggest achievement these past weeks. I have control over my eating. I am so happy for this. I thank God for answering these prayers. I always pray that I will not be so stressed and that I will not lose my patience with my kids because my life is so busy! Not only have I managed to eat better, I am calmer. I am truly grateful for this. I am also grateful for all of you. So I think it is important to share this with all of you because I do consider you all my support system. I thank you all for that. Have a blessed day and stay motivated!

It's pretty late but I just want to say hello! This week flew by. I didn't get much exercise in this week but I did manage to take my lunch to work and snacks. The Fiber One Bars really helped control my appetite. I tried to remember to drink plenty of water but that hasn't quite caught on as well as I would like.  I will weight in tomorrow or Saturday. Wish me luck. I wish all of you good success this week!

Luv Yahs

I'm so happy. Last week was a bust, but it did pay off this week. I lost 2.6lbs. My goal this week is to pack my lunch and snacks each day for work. Today I had a turkey sandwich with spray on honey mustard (only 35 calories). Stop and took time to eat fiber one bar. Guess what no poppers aloud this week!lol. Stay focused and stay motivated.

Alice

Busy, busy, busy. I can't believe I haven't been on for seven days. I have been going non stop. Lots of bad weather and ice this past week. I had a great week last week! I was all excited and went to weight watchers to weigh in and they were closed. I am on my way today. Hoping for a lost this week! It was almost like well nobody was home at WW Wednesday night so I can eat! Bad night Wednesday I ate REAL POPPERS! My favorite. Guess what it added up to 48 points lol. My total for the day was only 32 points.  Yes I used all my extra points too! But the good new I got right back on track Friday! Usually when I have a big cheat it is hard for me to stay focused but I am ok! Heading to weight watchers now! Oh and my friends Beth and Heather are back. I'm so grateful for all of you. I'll check in on a few sites tonight! Have a great day!

Alice

I'm not bummed out. I am pissed off! Excuse my french. I wrote everything down this week. Stayed less than my points. I didn't use extra points. I do have my menstral cycle. I weighed in at WW tonight and I couldn't believe it. I am staying away from healthly choice meals. Must be the sodium I guess. Anyway I don't have time to worry about. I am heading to the gym for my first time in a long time. Watch out next week because the bitch is on the roll. I will succeed.

Alice

Hi Everyone! Weight Watcher weigh in tonight! I am hoping for good results. I did great this week logging my points and staying within my limits! I just need to find time to exercise. Today is my day off I cleaned house all day. I know I just need to go take care of exercise first and then clean on my days off. This will be my second weigh in so my goal for next week is to add exercise. I feel like for the most part my eating is well under control (which I am so excited about). My goal last week was to log everything I ate. I was able to get on line and do that too! So I hope I can meet my goal to exercise. I just want warm weather to be here. I am so much more motivated to exercise when it is warm out. It just changes my whole attitude. Well I will blog my weight in later! Wish me luck.

Alice

Ok I don't usually blog twice in one day. I wrote about how happy I was that I didn't eat junk yesterday! Then I read a few sites. When I came across Christy's space (who was one of my very first friends on MPM) I had to laugh. She has stuck by me even when I only checked in a couple of times at the end of last year! I had never blogged in my life, but she was one of those people who made me feel comfortable speaking about how I really felt! That is why I am so happy that MPM was created. Thanks to Biggest loser and MSN I was able to meet people like Christy and all of you! I don't think Christy will mind if I tell you that we have a problem called the shovel (we shovel alot of food in we shouldn't eat) lol. So I told Christy to throw away that shovel! Today I am sending her the crane that pulled me out of that hole! It is on the way to Florida as we speak!

 

                                                         The Crane is all of you!

 So everyone take time when you get back on line today or tomorrow to send out some luv and motivation to everyone including Christy! As far as the zipper pants go - wear your tightess pants you have because if you wear them to lose - it gives you to much room to eat! lol Thank you all for being so supportive and honest! That is what makes this a great place to be!

Luv Alice
