    Good morning Losers!

    GW 163.6

    I did lose 1.6 pounds this week and still going. So since this challenge I have lost 5.8 pounds.
    I am strong and determined to get back down where I was last summer and then some.

    Today will be Walking with weights with my friend Leslie Sasone :) I have about 5 DVD's of hers and I love them. When winter rolls around that is my go to exercise. The latest one is an HIIT and I love it so far. Her group of people have so much energy.

    BJRDmom - When I go on vacation and before I make sure I lose weight so I can enjoy myself when away. I am going to an all inclusive but I do watch what I eat. I usually stay away from the desserts and watch the bread. My DH and I walk the beach first thing every morning before breakfast.
    Last time I took an aerobics water class. See if you can get some exercise in with the activities
    they offer.
    SPARKLECOMET- My daughter is a Yoga instructor and I have taken yoga in the past but the studio I go to now is very gentle and there are ladies there my age and older. There are also a lot of younger ladies too and some men. So its a mixed group. You have to like the instructor and the two ladies I go to are wonderful. Have not tried Hot Yoga before but I don't like being too hot so I probably wouldn't like it. Also I do meditation after each class and I welcome it now.

    Good luck everyone who is weighing in today. Keep posting your progress everyday on here
    and it will keep you accountable.

    Thanks for the Overnight Oatmeal recipe I have added it to my recipes and will used it.

    I'd like to join. I'm 51, will be 52 next month, just celebrated my 35th anniversary, have 4 children and 10 grandchildren.
    I'd like to lose about 60 lbs. I've joined some challenges for the new year but have only gained up til this point. I've lacked motivation and have very poor eating habits(too much fast food). I'd like to find out more about this 1-1-1 diet.

    Caliecat, it probably was from Elaine - I found it last week on this thread. I pasted it here this morning because you were looking for the recipe for Brandie; it was not my post originally!

    And Brandie, your weight loss is amazing - keep it up!

    Ruthie, have a great vacation - can't wait to hear how you enjoyed it B)
