Good luck with your test...Im sure you'll do fine...I mean as motivated as you are with your diet IM sure you'll be motivated to study...so study it up!! we better hear how well you did!

Hey, good luck with the exam. That's a long time off, but hopefully you're still going to stick with the exercise and diet. You're doing so well, watch out for pressures (totally unintentionla) from loved ones. When we start losing weight, the people closest to us often feel insecure because subconsciously they worry that we won't love them as much when we've changed ourselves, our behaviors, our appearances. Logically we all know that's not the case, but it does tend to bring up insecurities in other people, and even they don't realize it, they just react to it. Hang in there, you're doing great.

Hey Where Are You Come Back Home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I See You Will Be Back The 15th Was Wondering I Was Thinking When You Return You Could Start A Male Thread Under The Clubs Because I Think A Lot Of Men Leave Beacause They Think Its All Just Us Woman And You I Think Would Be A Great Help And Inspiration For Them!!!!!

Lol Tina. That would be pretty cool :P Wow, I remember when I heard about Chip leaving for a while it seemed like he would be gone so long. Now he's almost back! That's crazy! :P

My test is over. But I'm still away, in Vancouver Washington. I will be back to Lancaster, Ca. on Tues. 04/18/06. So I will start posting either tues. or wed. I thought I would be ok dieting. I don't think I have done to well. Don't know for sure, I'll find out wed. morning and let you know.

YES I DID PASS MY REAL ESTATE TEST!!!!!!!!!! so Im a licenced Realtor in Ca. & Wa. now.

That's awesome, Chip! Maybe you can hook us with a house sometime. J/K :P
Hopefully you didn't do too bad while you were gone.

Congrats on your test Chip! Its great to see you back! We've missed you around here. Even if you didn't do too hot diet wise, you'll get right back on the wagon. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to get a bit further ahead...beleive me, I know about sacrificing for the sake of education considering I'm going on 10 years of post high school education....holy crap! why did I have to bring that to my attention? Some things are better left alone. Anyway, its good to have you back!

I'll find out tomorrow morning what kind of damage I have done. Its great to be back. I'll have to be catching up on everything. On the time away, I did find out I'm not ready to have sugar yet. So I'm off sugar again (it will be two weeks on Thursday without sugar). I'll post my weight tomorrow no matter how bad & embarrassing it is.

I think I need this site to keep going.

It is so exciting to know when we sell our home we will be moving to Vancouver Washington. I have wanted to live in the North West my whole life. Its a dream come true. Exciting & Scary!!!!!!

Thanks, Chip

Wooooohooooooooooo Congrads On The Test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Welcome Home We Missed Ya!

I gained 16 Lbs. Would have been alot easier not to lose those Lbs. again but it was my desicion to eat what I ate. I really am surpised though I thought I was going to stay the same or lose a little. Guess I was not being honest with myself. Anyway I weighed in at 235.00 Lbs.

Doing good (well OK) did not lose any weight last week. I'm back at it right now & doing good. I just can't get on the computer to much anymore. My laptop broke so now the three of us have to share one computer. So when I'm on line now most of the time I have to be doing work.

Right now were (I'm) getting our home ready to sell so we can move to Vancouver Washington. We have a lot of painting, we have to do.

Your living in a home just fine, then you decide to sell, so you have to get it ship shape to get top dollar. Then we won't get to enjoy any of the work we have done. At least we hope not because we do want to move.

No matter what anyone says it over pays for the improvements you make on your home before you sell it.

Chip

I'm so out of focus. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A couple of you said its not easy to take time off & it has really hurt me. I had 3 Mounds bars & a bag of M&Ms today. I'm just having a hard time getting going.

I'm going to try to post everyday, even though I don't have my own computer anymore.

Chip, glad to hear its not just me whos been struggling. My wife had her B-day Sat. We celebrated it on Friday, so I ate lots....then, her real B-day was Sat....so I ate lots...then Sunday some family came over.....so I ate lots. I weighed myself Sunday night at like 214 up from 205. I was bummed but new I deserved it. Luckily though it was for the most part water weight cause I got back on track and it all dropped off now I'm 203...its amazing how much your weight can fluctuate between dieting and gorging.

Point is, get back on track, the weight will drop off. Are you still running? We have faith in you!

moabnut, I know I need to get back on track & I mean to every day & every meal. I just don't. I have been doing my jogging. Only 2 or 3 days a week.

Now for what I ate bad today. Two Almond Joys, a Chocolate Bar & some M&Ms.

I am going to get on track tomorrow.

Chip
