Linda, your hill walk sounds like just the thing! We have had a wonderful weather day here - sunny and thirties, and tomorrow looks to be even warmer! Can't wait to get outside and get MOVING!
I am so happy to know that we will have a new challenge to focus us after the Easter challenge comes to an end - thank you so much Marie and Connie!0 -
Well I am back, and weighed in no loss for me. Must have been all the eating out in Las Vegas. I will get back on the wagon and do better this week.
Congrats to all the losers this week!0 -
The weather was beautiful today! I didn't get to spend much time outside but I plan to work in the yard tomorrow. Raking should be some good exercise and the dog will probably get walked as well. I started off the weekend with a bang...one hour of group power (strength training) followed by Urban Groove (aerobics). So much fun exercising to music with my pals! I love being a part of this thread and reading the posts...so nice to know that I am not alone in my struggle. Power on my friends!!0

Good morning losers! Happy Sunday!
Ida...I agree. It's nice to be a part of like- minded folks.
It is going to be a beautiful day here today, and judging by posts from yesterday, many of you have gorgeous weather in your part of the country. I'm not so sure about our friends in Europe, though. I wish we could send you guys some sunshine.☺️
I am on my way to church, and other than that, I have no other plans. I rested yesterday which was really what my body needed.
I hope everyone has a wonderful, productive, and mindful day.
Stay Strong!

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! Welcome back!0 -
Good morning! Connie - thank you for your sunshine each morning and for helping out my mom. You both are amazing!
I lost a pound this week...first loss in a few weeks. But no gains really so that is good! I think I got a bit cocky and thought I could get away with not tracking and have not been drinking enough water. So back to basics, reading back through my food diary to see what I was doing when I was losing each week. And now my walking has kicked in and I know that will help.
Have a great Sunday....I am off to see Momma!

Thanks Connie, you are always so encouraging and supportive. Just want you to know that it is appreciated.
Gonna go line dancing this afternoon after church.
Everyone have a great day, no matter what you choose to do.

Today is suppose to be another beautiful day. Had a great day yesterday at the dog park! It was my puppies first time and they weren't very happy with the other dogs trying to say hello, but they liked the obstacles and running around with me and the walk along the walking paths. Today I plan to do day 1 of the Couch to 5k challenge. I have convinced my Fiance and mother to join me for a Color Run in April and a Fun Mudder in June. I've never run a 5k before, but these look like lots of fun.
Been struggling with eating good food over junk food, as I had sonic the other night then a Panera brunch and girl scout cookies. Otherwise I've done pretty well, but those few things throw my nutrient balance and calories out of whack. Here is to a better day even though I've already had 4 thin mints!0 -

Kenea 993... How did your first day on c25k go, that's how I started 2 years ago, this year I'm doing a 30 mile fell race although a lot of it will be done at fast walking pace LoL.
Have a good Sunday all.

What a wonderful day I had today, my son and his family turned up unexpectedly to join the rest of us on our walk, the sun was shining the views where spectacular and we finished with a picnic.
Nancy... It's a great feeling when your clothes start to fit better, soon they will be falling of you.

I had a great weekend with my two daughters and husband. We went to my youngest daughter's house she is pregnant and they just bought a new house. A lovely house and I think they will be happy there for many years.
I did Aqua Fit this morning with her and it was a good 45 min with a 15 min stretching afterwards. I would like to add this to my exercise regiment. I really liked it.
I didn't do much weighing and measuring because I ate what I was served. Back to it tomorrow and hope to see a loss next week.
Everyone seems to be doing well so keep up the good work.

Happy Monday everyone! I was a bit MIA for the past few days because I went to visit my boyfriends family on the other side of the country (which isn't that far in Ireland). We had a lovely weekend since he has 4 young siblings which keep things entertaining. Back on track again today. It's hard to keep your eating in order at someone elses house, especially since my boyfriends step mum is Romanian and cooks us a lot of delicious food! It sounds like a lot of other people had very family orientated weekends. I hope everyone enjoyed. Lets rock this week!

Good morning, losers! Happy Monday!
Welcome back and a big shout out to all who are returning from great weekends! I agree...it is hard to eat when away from home especially at someone's home. The important thing, though, is that you are back and your routines return to normal. This is life, and we should eat and enjoy different food on occasion without any guilt.
Today is Aquafit at the gym (glad you enjoyed it, Shirley). My body is fully rested after two days of leisure,and I look forward to going. It's supposed to rain here but after such a wonderful sunshiny weekend, who cares?
Have a great day, everyone.
Stay strong!

Oh what a cheerful bunch this morning. All but me and I am not awake yet this morning.
no plans today except getting a hair cut.. I had a successful eating day yesterday have not got my plans map out yet.for my eating. I made a big pot of beef and veggies soup Saturday. So that will be my main meals for today. I am looking for a lost this week. Got my happy scales recorded. Now I just got to get my fit bit moving.
Alice cleaned my freezer out yesterday so now I will have room to save left overs. That will help out. Time now to get my coffee. and think about breakfast. Will probable be cottage cheese and fruits and nuts Love cottage cheese.

Glad to hear that girl. You are a baker. Wow what a tuff job. we can do it.
Marie
Good hearing from you.0 -
Morning,
Good luck Stephanie on next week's loss. It must be hard being a baker and smelling all that wonderful stuff like breads and cakes.
I weighed this morning just to see where I was and I stayed the same as Friday's weigh in.
Today is nothing but clear fluids, jello, broth in preparation for my procedure tomorrow. Trying not to think about food.
Have a good week everyone!

Well I didn't do so good on my good choices yesterday and had a few to many girl scout cookies so my stomach was not liking this running idea. we went on an extra long walk with the puppies though and jogged the last littLe stretch home. I have pilates and Zumba tonight and then day one again on Wednesday for me. I'm determined though. I do have the month's so I have some wiggle room with reiterating days and weeks. This way I don't push myself too much as I have never been a runner. have a love - hate relationship with it.

you will have a few days of Bad eating days. Just don't have to many or it will show on your hips.
not being critical just stating facts.

Is any body else on a gluten free diet?

Good morning everyone. Sounds like many of you had a nice weekend with family. Seems like when you are with family it always
revolves around food!!! It's a new week and time to get in gear to lose some weight this week. My weigh in is tomorrow and I hope
to see a loss. I am still amazed that I am not always hungry or craving something sweet since I started the One One One plan. It
is certainly a long term or lifetime way of eating.
Ready to hit the bike!!!
Have a great day. It is warm and beautiful here.

I usually have Lean Cusine or Healthy Choice Steamers. Like yesterday I had a Lean Cusine Steak Tips Portebello, 150 calories, and it has a serving of broccoli and I added brown rice for my carb. For the Cafe Steamers I try to choose one that has a protein, a carb and they usually have enough fat. So far the ones I have had are listed in the food diary. I just like to keep some in the freezer for the times I don't want to cook.
They usually have a lot of sodium so I don't have them often. Some of them are tasty and seem to satisfy. There are so many choices too and Walmart always have good choices.

Happy Monday everyone! Been busy remodeling one of our homes this past week, so I haven't had a spare moment. Unfortunately, when I get busy I sometimes forget to eat which is never a good thing and I knew it would wreck havoc on my loss this week! I do best with 3 meals and 2 snacks darn it. But despite it all I'm down another 1.5 pounds bringing me to 10 pounds toward the challenge and 13 overall! I'll take it
SW. 147
CW. 137
GW. 127
Total loss for challenge: 10 pounds
My goal this week is to do better getting those meals and snacks back on track and making sure I drink all my water!
Hope you all have a terrific week. Glad to see you are feeling better Marie! Best of luck with your procedure tomorrow Shirley!
