    I know I'm late, but it looks like you have 14 and can take 15. If so, I'd love to join you.

    Name: Laurie
    Start weight: 190.0
    Aim for November: 184.0
    What you are going to do to get there: Walk 45 minutes during lunch at work. Lift weights 30 minutes Mon, Wed, & Fri. Elliptical 30 minutes Mon - Fri.
    Your current motivation: I am going to be mother of the groom on Jan. 1, 2010. My oldest is getting married.

    My biggest problem, and why I need this group, is that I have no time. I work full-time and coach a swim team right after work. Then I have the wedding things to do. This past weekend we hosted a shower for my son and fiancee, which included not good food choices and alcohol.

    gosh i feel so guilty. haven't went to the gym for a week cos of my mid terms, just controlled my calorie intake. weighed in just now at 121.9 lbs, so lost around 1.5lbs. just curious, does anyone other than me gain weight during their period? i often gain around 0.5-1 lb and lose them after my period.

    Hey everyone. I been busy busy all weekend. MIL came into town to watch kids so hubby and I can go to wedding. I couldn't log calories because I didn't know what all the food entailed. I did well though. Had one glass of red wine, few sips of champagne (toasting) and one bite of my husbands cake and danced. I totally have "white girl" syndrome when it comes to dancing. I suck at it.

    I weighed last Friday and I weighed 185!!! 2 pounds gone.

    While my MIL was here we went to have Sushi. Of course they didn't have brown rice rolls. I was a little let down by that. Ate ok. i didn't overindulge and really enjoyed my seaweed salad. Trying to get back into routine with eating. It's hard when you are the only person watching food intake and trying to make better choices. Oh well. I did drag my MIL to Pilates with me and fitness yoga though.

    Daylight savings is sucky here in my household. My kids are just so tired by the time it's dark. Now that it gets dark earlier they think it's bed time. They are 2 and 1. So, unfortunately, keeping them up an extra hour is hectic and they still wake up at the crack of dawn. Yay for me. ::sarcasm:: I still get my rear to the gym though. I cherish my hour of "me" time.

    Morning Girls. It's weigh in day. I really did not want to get on that scale because I didn't do too well this week. It's the end of the semester and I'm really stressed! Plus, I have IBS and it's in high gear :mad: so I'm pretty bloated.

    However, I did lose one pound! Yay. So I'm at 138 this week.

    How is everyone else doing?

    Weight is stable here (that's my goal, I'm pregnant) and I only have 5 weeks until I can start losing!

    Hey everyone!

    So I am at the same weight that I was last Tuesday :( Kind of a bummer, but I'm actually happy I didn't gain. I just started my internship last week and I am not used to working 50 hours a week plus commuting so I was tired and when I was home I didn't feel like making dinner so I ate a lot of junk last week, and I felt too tired to work out. Guess I really am lucky I didn't gain anything. But over the weekend I stocked up on a lot more fruits and veggies so that I can snack on those this week instead of all that junk food. Also I ran 7 miles last night without stopping so this week is off to a much better start :) Hopefully next week I will be down a few pounds! Thanksgiving and my Turkey Trot 5k are just a little over 2 weeks away so I need to get to work!

    Congrats to everyone that lost weight this week and keep it up!

    So I went to the bathroom and re-weighed myself and it was 136.8 lol. I told you guys I was bloated!

    Runner915- what are you in school for? I have 3 semesters left for my dietetics degree, then I have to do an internship to become a registered dietitian.

    I just have to say the the Total Body Workout class at my YMCA kicked my *kitten* but i am proud to say I kept up for the most part. I say most part because I am so uncoordinated and trip over my own feet. lol

    I am excited to read everyone is going in the right direction as for their goals!!!

    erikaj819 I love the chart! It gives me some extra motivation to work hard this week so I'm not at the same weight again next week!!

    Hope everyone is having a good week and is starting to adjust to this time change! I know I am still struggling! Left my internship at 430 today and it was already starting to get dark :(

    Thanksgiving is only 2 weeks and a day away! I can't believe it, I hope I will be down several pounds before then!
