    Well, I went ahead and weighed myself again, and it said 221.4lbs! However, I'm not sure how correct it is since I weighed 2x this week and I know weight changes daily.

    So I'm gonna weigh in next Fri(or Sat) and hope it stays at 221.4 or maybe a little lower.

    I start week6 of C25k on Tuesday, fun! And I'll be starting up my dancing more and I am getting a 5mile walk dvd. What are your exercises you plan on doing this month/week??

    Also, stay tuned for Monday, I will have a challenge posted, you all do not have to complete it, but if you want to participate, just say so in your next post. I hope this helps give us an extra boost of exercise each week in case we are lacking or want to push a little farther. :)

    Happy 4th of July all!!

    Good morning everyone! It's looking cloudy here today and we might have thunderstorms. That makes my job even busier as people can't do as many outdoor activities so they come to the mall. So I know I'm going to be swamped at work. I'll be working the whole weekend. Yay me. But on the bright side, I start my last week of vacation on this coming Tuesday! We had planned to go to Nashville but I don't think that's going to pan out. We'll just stay home and get some things done around the house that we've been putting off.
    I stepped on the scales this morning and weighed 208! It's not my regular weigh in day so I won't log it yet. I'll have my regular weigh in on Monday.
    So anyway, I just wanted to share that.
    Everyone have a happy and safe 4th!

    well minor misshap with my scale... my two and a half year old decided to play in the bathroom sink using his stepping stool on top of my scale and flooded my bathroom floor. needless to say my digital scale did not make it..... now it just gives off this ominous glow taunting me that i cant weigh. I usually weigh like every day sometimes twice a day cause im crazy like that i guess
    I do just focous on the weekly and monthly weight because normally when i have gained a pound its gone the next day but it reminds me to be strong and resist junk food,

    so ya anyway im without a scale untill further notice hopefully in like 2 weeks if we have some left over from fixing and registering the car but if not im sure i will just get one anyway lol... i can do this but it will be really hard without a scale.

    by the way today my town celebrated the 4th a day early and i went the whole nine yards, bbq turkey root beer float and alcohol and soda i really had a cheet day but all will be better tomorrow : ) thanks for listening and good luck to all this weekend

    Happy Independence Day to all those in the U.S.!

    I am struggling! I am doing great with the exercise and pushing myself harder, but I am having a hard time controlling my eating. It is so hot and the ice cream taunts me with its deliciousness! I have got to watch what I put in my mouth! We are having some friends over for a cookout this afternoon. The menu is burgers, hotdogs, grilled corn on cob and mushrooms. I am also making a blueberry buckle at the request of my BFF. I KNOW that I can stay on track...but will I? My willpower has gone way down lately. I don't think we are going to see fireworks even tho I want to. My DF thinks DD won't be good if she stays up that late. He is probably right. It wouldn't be any fun anyway, to have to chase her through the crowd of people. DD is 17 mo. and NEVER slows down!

    I have read all of the posts but there are too many for personals right now. I hope everyone has a fun and healthy holiday!
