Hey T,

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well yesterday but at least the 160s are gone. I'm predicting at least 158 for Sunday

Have a great day!

Hi T, Hope your day is good with the babies and glad you are feeling better. I bet those 160's are gone forever. I haven't been in the 160's since the 1970s; can't wait to be there again. Have a great weekend!

Sorry to hear you are having some tummy trouble. But glad to hear about your weight. How exciting, almost "normal".
Have a good day!

You guys are sweet! Thank you. I don't know why the problem on Thursday but it sure hit me fast and hard....and away from home---yuck!!

Babies have gone home and I have a few days free!

My MF order arrived today so I have 'new' food. I bought a lot of the oatmeal that is on sale, more of the bars (sale ones), 3 cases of the RTDs (not as filling as the shakes made in the Magic Bullet with ice, but so easy and fast when I'm watching the babies or gone from home on errands)....I cannot remember what else I ordered, maybe that is all. I'm getting quite the stockpile of bars with the great sales last month and this month. I'll have them well into maintenance (I hope so anyway).

Ordered new jeans (St. John's Bay classic stretch jeans), they were delivered with the MF food this afternoon and I was able to get them on, zipped and showed off to DH. Size 8. I do not know how in the world I can fit into a size 8 at 159#.....but I'm still excited and marveling over it. I am going to need to go to a clothing store and try on an assortment of different brands to see what size I truly wear. I cannot fathom that I really am a 10 and can zip up some 8s. I need a dose of reality :lol:

can't keep living in this St. John's Bay dream world....

6 glasses of water so far today......I think I can get 8 in today.

I see what I've been doing wrong. Your goal is 8 glasses of water and you fit into a size 8. My goal is 16 glasses of water - so guess what size I'm stuck in? I must drink less water! 0 glasses and a size 0, here I come!

(Forgive me. I make no sense when I'm sleep-deprived.)

Forgive me for laughing but I loved your logic......sleep-deprived or not.

I truly think these jeans are cut big. At 140 I didn't wear a 10...and at 127 I wore 9's (last time I saw 127 was around 1989--so it has been a very long time). So, the sizing has to be goofy.

nickieluv · by **nickieluv** » July 28th, 2007, 5:21 am

I'm glad you laughed! Seriously, I'm trying it!

(OK, not really - although I am still at ticker weight and it's Saturday so I'm ALMOST ready to believe anything. :roll:

)

Hey T
How exciting Siz 8. YOu are doing awesome. And you know what they are a size 8 thats what they say. You know they have to be inspected at the factory. so they are a 8. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Nickie, don't you dare give up (shaking my Momma finger in your direction!). You are doing excellent and even if this roll call doesn't show you at 199.9, the next one probably will. Unca said he's seen it time and time again......stall & then kaboom, a good sized drop (well, he didn't say kaboom---but I bet he woulda said it if he'd thought of saying it

). Oh yeah......I'm in fine form this morning. You behave and stick to it. You are going to see Onederland SOON---may not be as soon as you wanted (like a few days ago :roll:

) but you will see it soon!

QueenieLou........wish we could all help you move. Wouldn't that be a fun time? Laughter, encouragement along with help getting you moved. I'd love it. I'd also love to go walking to Starbucks with Biki....all of us trouping down the street laughing & having fun.

Katie, good to see you! I meant that the St.John'sBay jeans must be cut bigger so their size 8 might be a 10 or 12 (perish the thought.....but it might be true). I need to go try a lot of makes/sizes on and see where I truly am size wise as I don't think it is fair to say "I'm a size 10" if I really am a loose 14 or tight 12? I know, once again my nit picking 'gotta be precise' gene is showing.

Weight this morning...........drum roll please............158.5# Now my scale only does .5 increments and 159 is the weight that the BMI chart says starts the 'overweight' catagory for my height. So, I was aiming for 158, but I've seen the light (yeah, I had to do a slap to the forehead to get the darn thing to light)------I only had to hit 158.5 (on my scale) to be NORMAL!!!!

I'm NORMAL! I'm NORMAL!! I'm NORMAL!!!!

Yeah, many people would not call me normal at all........but my weight is 'normal' for my height and I'm .5# under 'overweight'. Yippee!!!! Normal, normal, normal..................didn't think I'd ever hear or think that Tawanda was normal, did you? Never crossed my mind that I'd be considered normal........................thank goodness for forehead slapping and those lightbulb moments.

No babysitting until Tuesday!!!! The world is my oyster for 3 whole days! Well, it is my oyster whenever DH doesn't need my assistance on chores around here (grumble, grumble and more grumbling).

Okay, off to read what youse guys been up to.

Normal!

Oh! Today begins week 25 for me. I take my measurements every 4 weeks. This morning my numbers for 24 weeks on program are: -53.5# and -61.25". Amazing.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Wow T
Awesome being in the normal weight range. That is so exciting. I can not wait until I am in the normal weight. Since I have started this 100 day challenge. I am determined. I am going to make it.
Have a good 3 days of doing what ever MS T wants :lol:

Also congrats on the weight loss.
Katie

Congrats on the normal weight and the 8's! Last time I could wear an 8 I was 135 pounds but my body was shaped differently. I am still firmly ensconced in 14 jeans right now.

Normal!

BTW, I think you might find St Johns to be cut small, so you are probably REALLY a true size 8!

holberry · by **holberry** » July 28th, 2007, 9:01 am

Tawanda dear,

I have always thought you to be normal, cept for your crazy name!

Size 8, wowo. When I get to size 8, I going to the Pendleton Outlet in Washougal and get me some lovely long straight skirts.

Have a restful, fun weekend. you do deserve it.

Congratulations on being a normal weight! You have a right to crow, and I hope you do. Size 8's, normal weight - yep, I'm definitely drinking too much water....
