Thanks so much for all of the nice comments everyone! Do you all have a diary too? Maybe I should just search...lol

endurance- thank you! "till I finally got bored of my boredom" haha that's funny. I'm glad you are on the right path though. Maybe we can motivate each other! Trust me, I'm not always motivated, lol

Marie & fat2phat- I'm definitely ready for the challenge! Hope we win, haha

Wanted to do a quick post. Well first off, on Wedsenday I did 2hrs on the stationary bike, not sure if I mentioned that. I haven't done anything today, not sure if I'll do anything tonight, ANYWAY...

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN NOW FIT "REGULAR" CLOTHES....

So, I know 11/12 jeans is still considered plus size in most places, but, I always find that size in the "regular" clothing section. Anyway, I was out shopping today, and I felt soooooooo awkward being in the "regular" section. I felt like that last time I was this size too. Does anyone else ever feel like that? I'm so used to shopping in plus size or going to the back of the store to find something so now when I'm up front with the skinny bitches (hey! I mean that in a good way, haha) I feel so beyond out of place. Like they are just looking at me wondering why I'm up there with them. Like they know damn well I can't fit those clothes or something. Ughhhhhhh. I HATE that feeling. I feel very paranoid up there. Anyway, I tried a few things on that I liked, I didn't get them though, maybe next time.

Tay is getting on my nerves b/c he is SO into namebrand clothing. Mostly urban name brands and stuff, I have no problem with them but I like to switch it up, know what I mean? So I tried on this pea coat (I think that's what it was called) and I liked it. It was a little tight in the arms, I think an XL would have been better, but anyway, he said "are you trying to look old now?" lol WTF???? So annoying! I tried on this super cute red top and I guess he considered that old looking too. Whatever! I wish I would have taken my camera to take pics, and I seriously considered it, but I didn't plan on shopping for myself, just the kids. I really don't want to buy anything at this weight but I am pretty much in desperate need of clothes, lol

That's all for now! I have something exciting to post about later so look out for that.

Hey! Wow congrats on your weight loss so far! Thanks for checking out my diary You checked it out at the right time, right when I needed it, hahaha

I will be stopping by to check your progress!

Thanks for calling by my diary. You are doing great with your project. Well done on the weight loss so far. Perserverence will get you to where you want to be. Simply continue the exercise and nutritional control that got you this far and you will be there.

Think how many of the "skinny bitches" that you see in the stores may be looking at you (if not now - maybe very soon) worrying as to what you are thinking about them. They might have been bigger than you - you do not know... If you fit into those clothes - you belong there as much as anyone...

Hey girl, just saw your weight loss photos....WOW you did an amazing job!! As for them skinny bitches staring at you, to hell with them!! if you fit into clothes from that section, you sure as hell are pretty close to being one of em too!! (i know i badly want to be there...haha) ahhhhhhh i cant waitt to fit into my size UK8's again. I have my size 8 jeans hanging on the walls...I look at them to give me motivation!

Congrats on the weightloss Nikki, you're sooo pretty even at your higher weight.

Good luck on your efforts! x

Thanks for all of the comments. I will be checking in with all of you. Hope you don't mind, haha

Omega, that makes sense. I will definitely try to start thinking like that on my next shopping trip.

I have the best bestfriend ever...
Ok so, I have been slacking on Jillian Michaels workouts lately because I like to exercise in two rooms, either the computer room (which I prefer) or my bedroom. Well, the computer room does not have cable so I can't do her workouts On Demand, and my bedroom Tay sleeps in during the day because he works 3rd shift, and I hate working out really late. So........

My bestfriend (Twiist, member of this website) who moved THOUSANDS of miles away with her BF (she visits every year or so, woohoo) sent me these......

ALL OF THE JILLIAN WORK OUTS I LOVE! How sweet is that? So now I can workout in the computer room! WHEN I WANT TO! I don't have to wait on Tay to wake up, lol I will definitely put these to good use, especially since the Halloween Challenge started today! Wooooo!!!

Thanks again girl!

I forgot to add, I lost 2lbs! I weighed myself on Sunday (Sept. 13th, 2009) and I weighed 188lbs, well I weighed myself today for the challenge (Sept. 18th) and I weighed 186lbs! Yay! Hopefully I can keep this up.

Hey hey! good job on the weight loss. I remember when i was able to shop for regular clothes.. it was soo liberating! The clothes were cheap! I like and am never turning back! I'm not a fan of the biggest loser, because i don't think it properly portrays how much work is necessary to lose weight. These people lose unrealistic numbers, and most people eat it up. I guess i'm like that though. Why watch sports when i can play them myself? Same goes for that show. Why watch people work hard to lose when i can be doing it myself? I know they have tips and such, but the don't release too much, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sell their cookbooks and workouts and tips. It feels more like a way to exploit those who are trying to get fit than to help them. I nice that the contestants lose weight, but most of them gain it back. Of course that's my opinion, and i can totally see where the motivation will come in. but at the same time its a game. so, i don't think weight loss should be a game, not saying it can't be competitive, but no one should go home. I think it should go like that show fat march, where there is a pot for them to split and it goes down which each person that bows out. That way, everyone wants everyone to stay, and there are no secret pacts and plotting to send people away from getting healthy. Anyway, enough with my BL rant. totally not the thread for it. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

ok. a few things
1) I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!!!! It is totally weird being surrounded by the "skinny bitches" hehe

2) In feb of THIS YEAR... i was wearing eiether size 9 or 11 pants.... even a few 13's..... here we are in Sept... and i am wearing size 0 dress pants, and size 2 jeans.....

WTFF>????? you might be thinking... yeah me too. I weigh 124 now... and am wearing little people clothes.
ALL THAT TO SAY... those sizes drop FAST... never in my life have i EVER worn ANYTHING smaller than a 7..... and here we are. You will be that "skinny bitch" before you know it. But whats strange is... you never feel like you are a skinny bitch. I sure as HELL dont understand how i possibly fit into those sizes... my legs still are a little chubby... i still got a badonkadonk... hmmm... and they arent skin tight on me eiether... i comfortably fit into them.

Thanks for the comments! Marie that is really amazing. I will check out your diary for sure.

Ok so I guess this is my first rant, I am pissed right now.

My daughters preschool teacher was supposed to make a home visit today at NOON, well, over an hour later, she's still not here. I didn't work out because usually thats the time I would be ending one of my workouts or starting it and I didn't want to be all sweaty when she got here. Well, I call the school to see whats going on and the secretary tells me she is at lunch......ummmmmmm W-T-F?? I am really irritated. Is this not really rude?? Or am I just upset for no reason? I told the secretary to tell her to cancel today, the secretary said she will tell her to call me ASAP. Ugh!

You're welcome!! I told you I want to be apart of your weight loss process and I knew you wanted those bad so there ya have it. It's much easier when you are able to work out when you want to and not have to wait on someone just to use the room to exercise. It's something I deal with everyday. Though now I got to where I can do the bike while he plays his video games. I guess that's an improvement haha.

Anyway I know you can do this best friend. We baddddd bitches, bad bad bitches! lol

We shall dominate in the halloween challenge. Goooo SPOOKS!

Lookin good, keep up the work.
