WI

I weighed in on the scale this week both on Monday and Wednesday mornings.  I was so not happy with either of them that I didn't bother to record them.  I know, so irresponsible.  I pretty much stayed the same yet again.  Maybe Shelley was right, my body is happy here.  It isn't an unhealthy weight for my height but I don't feel happy with it mentally, either.  Next week I vow to record my weight and take my body measurements!!!  At least the tape measure usually gives me good results each month.

Sorry I haven't been around.  My list of wedding "to do's" just seems to get longer and longer.  We ordered our invitations, RSVP's and Thank You Cards last night, and all the party favors for the wedding tables.   On Monday I'm taking my dress to a seamstress to be hemmed, then we're meeting the photographer and florist at the venue to show them around.

I hope all of you are doing well!

Hi!

Hey Leanne.  I'm glad you posted even if it was a quickie.  I wanted to get back to you about the daily plate though.  Their terminology is actually pretty confusing but I wanted to let you know that even if you aren't a gold member, you can still add your own foods and recipes to the database.  The recipe adder even allows you to type in all the ingreds and the servings it makes and it auto-generates a nutritional label for that food.  I've found the database itself to be very comprehensive thus far, but if there's a food you can't find, you CAN add it yourself.  What you're referring to (for the paid members) is this:

Personal "Nutrition Label" view!

I find that I don't miss that too much.  They have really cool charting features too to see your calorie intake over time and your net intake (with exercise added in).  And no, I'm not a gold member myself, although I thought about donating to them because I do think their site is pretty awesome.

Don't sweat the weight not budging.  As you said, the inches are dropping & that really counts more than the pounds.

Inches

I agree!  Next week take your inches and I bet you will be happy with the results.  Sometimes your weight might be higher but you are actually thinner due to muscle and less fat.. :-) 

I am so excited, your wedding is getting closer.. :-)

Hey you!

Yeah, maybe your body is happy where you are.  I think sometimes we get into weight loss mode and it's hard to get out of it.  We always want more.  But I also think that at some point, we have to say, HEY, I like me just the way I am.  Also, another thing to think about is what is realistic for you to maintain.  I mean, it's not worth it if you have to kill yourself with workouts and starve yourself to maintain it.

Anyway, it's good to hear from you.  And I hope the wedding plans are coming along great!

Of course Shelley's right!

LOL I think your body is content. You're gorgeous, Leanne! You're going to be a beautiful bride!!! You must be having so much fun planning your wedding! That was one of the best times of my life. I just had so much fun!

Take care of yourself and have fun! I hope your next weigh in goes to your liking!

Hello

Happy days planning weddings!!

Let's see:  I live in Spokane, WA and hunny lives in San Luis Obispo, CA.... he's the one buying a condo.  The first one he looked at was on the market currently for $436,000 I belive and the one that he bid on was only asking $325,000 I think it was.  Both needed the same amount of work, so for him to save 100K is a great deal.

He says he won't get too attached to it because he'll fix it up, live in it a few years and when the housing market turns for the better, he'll sell it and make 200K on it LOL!!  So like him to be looking to turn a deal.

That's ok, it's his $$ and time, etc.... me, I'm just along for the GF ride!  But, I do get to help pick the cat!!

Have a great new week!!

hey stranger

So when is the big day??? I am getting married on May 10th. I know what you mean about all the things you have to get done. It never ends. I see you are still healthy and doing well! I am happy for you. What are your colors for the wedding??

TBL

I'm heading out of town, so I will summarize TBL quickly for you (LOL)

The girls smoked the WI - Ali and Kelly are for sure in the finals.

This put Mark and Roger below the yellow line and up for elimination, only this time, America gets to vote who is eliminated.

So, Tuesday night is the finale - be sure to clear your TiVo if you can't watch it - and within the first 5 minutes, they will tell us who is in the finale with Ali and Kelly

I voted for Mark to stay because this is (IMHO) the only way either of the girls stand a chance to win.  Roger has lost too much weight and could lose a lot more in whatever the "at home" period of time is.

Mark and Ali don't have a lot more, if any, weight to lose, so IMHO again, both of them would be winning based on what they have achieved so far, if I understand how "the game" is played/won....

Amazingly, Kelly stands a good chance, if she kicks butt at home.  I never thought she'd come this far, but she has.....

Sigh.  OK - more than you wanted to know, but since you didn't get it recorded, I don't feel I ruined anything for you LOL!!

Have a great Friday and weekend!!
