What a gorgeous bride! you must be so proud!
Phyllis, so glad you are safe. Hope the situation resolves without any more violence or death. Hopefully your neighborhood stays safe. History in the making.
Here is my reminder for today. It is Friday and most people tend to overeat on the weekend so be mindful of what you eat and try work to stay within your calorie goals. I read somewhere people tend to eat 1/3 more calories on Saturday and Sunday. Don't let weekends mess up you hard work! (Weekends are usually my downfall)
Have an awesome Friday!

robin---- what a lovely picture!!
kelly
you have really achieved a lot this past year. should be proud of urself0 -
Robin- Is that your daughter that go married? I am way out of touch. She is beautiful.
Terri - Thanks for the reminder about week end eating. I have started the week end and I really need to have those little reminders so I don't get out of control. Thanks also for your thought and concern for us here in Egypt.
Happy to be back and I am being careful about what I eat and now I jsut need to get the exercise part back in my life. Swimming tomorrow is in my plan of the day.

Hi to all the 5lb regulars! and welcome to all the new Feb faces!!
Sorry I haven't been posting this week. Last week, I was busy with sick kids, then I myself was feeling horrible over the weekend, and this week, we're all recovering, and I am currently busy catching up on things that got ignored last week: work, housework, groceries, etc, and now finally ME.
Food: I need to re-focus on eating healthier. I have been going for too long without eating, then stuffing myself with crap. I have also been eating certain foods out of quick convenience that are not normally a regular part of my diet, like hotdogs and take-out. I have also been slacking on my water, which makes me eat more... So, here I go right now, to fill up my water bottle! .... There, I'm back. :drinker:
Exercise: I brought my gym clothes with me today, and am planning to go to a BodyFLOW class at lunch. I also need to plan my running schedule, as my sister has challenged me to run a 10k with her in May, and right now, I can barely run 3 minutes, let alone over an hour!! :noway:
Weight: I haven't had an 'official' weigh-in in a while, so I'm using my Jan 24th weigh-in (155) as my end of month, as well as my Feb starting weight. I know it's about right anyway, since my scale at home at home is consistently hovering at 155. That means I lost 4 pounds in Jan. I'm happy with that. 154 was the lowest weight I reached last year, so I'm finally almost back there, and ready to delve into new territory... to boldly go where no man has gone before... :laugh:
We're headed to my mom's tomorrow to celebrate her 71st birthday, which was earlier this week. That means at least 2 dinners out, as we're having a mother/daughter dinner on Saturday night and a family luncheon on Sunday (with my hubby & 2 girls and my brother & his wife & 2 girls).
55tolose, we're both nearing our pre-pregnancy weight... YAY! I have two major weight goals: one is 'pre-pregnancy' when I was "usually" between 150 and 155, and two is 'wedding weight' when I had gotten down to 130. Now that I am nearing the pre-pregnancy zone, I'm aiming for wedding weight!!
Serenity79, welcome to the 150's club. Last month, 55tolose, Jennplus2, bjshooter and I had a friendly competition going on to see who could get to 155 first (JENN! :drinker: ). This month, I am issuing the same challenge - let's see who can get to 150 first!! Want to join our race?! What about you, Ralu19? You're close to the mid-150's too...
Reese66, I laughed when I saw your math typo!! Glad you noticed it; and weren't trying to head in the wrong direction! :bigsmile:
Dawn - won't that be the best birthday gift to yourself? To reach your goal? You can do it!
Phyljen - great to have you back!!! Stay safe.0 -
Count me in! But I want 7lbs gone! :-D0

WOW It is great to read some of the posts again. Everyone is doing so good. I can't wait to stick on the plan again. I have been so bad. Congratulations to everyone of you for being so true to your plans. I hope to get motivated from all of you once again. Do we still weigh in on Fridays?
Phyljen.
Oh I'm so glad to 'see' you post!!!! You'll fall back into a good place in no time!! :drinker:
And that picture is GORGEOUS! WoW!!0 -

Heck yes we are! My wedding weight was likely to be around 155 lol because I didn't know when I got married that I was already 6-8 weeks prego lol ...

Had a meeting today with the teachers that decided not to leave Egypt in this mess over here and we were told that we will start back with school starting tomorrow! Half of the teachers have gone and also half of the students so we will have to regroup and teach different kids but at least we get to start back and try to live half way normal lives again. It is going to be challenging to start over with kids that I have not taught up to this point, some will be my regular kids but whatever I can make it work. I am a bit nervous though to tell the truth. I am sure the kids will be nervous too and sad
when they find out that some of their teachers have gone away. Life sure can bring on exciting times can't it?
I just got a crock pot and today was the first day to try using it. anyone got some good recipes that they use. I think it will come in handy now especially since I am going back to work.
O.K. PALS!!! Have a great day. Remember Terri's advice and don't over do it this week end... PHYLJEN:laugh:0 -
I would also like to join. My starting weight is 173.7. Would love to see the 160s by the end of the month!0

Oops. Forgot to weigh myself on the first because I'm so used to weighing on Satrudays. So anyway I put my January ending weight for Feb 1 and since I weighed myself today and LOST A POUND! WOOHOO! I'm putting my weight down today instead of the 8th. Then I'll just continue to weigh on Saturdays and log my weight on then.
Later I'll have to go back and read all the posts I missed but I'm just so excited to have lost another pound. :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: .0 -
I am in. Back on my weight loss goal. Fell off for awhile. Have been feeling really down lately. Can't get out of bed and sleep 13-14 hours a day. Went to the doctor to see what was up. Found out it isn't all in my head. They found a huge thyroid problem and I am extremely low on Vitamin D. Started taking my vitamin D and thyroid medicine two days ago. Hopefully I will start to feel like a normal person! Plus it might help me lose some of this weight. I have been having to drop down to under 1000 calories a day to lose anything. I can't do that everyday. So now I am trying 1200 calories a day and an hour of working out 4-6 days a week. Hopefully this works. I will do my first weigh in on Monday for the first time!! Glad to join this challange again. I need acountability!!0

Well I weigh in on Sundays so I will have to use January 30's weigh in which was 149.4 lbs.
Today's weigh in on 2/6/11 - 148 lbs
3.6 lbs to go! Hopefully I will be down this much when I weigh in on February 27th!0 -
Hey, I'm down to124.2 today, so that's 0.8 from last week yay!
I've started going to the gym more frequently now as well and I ran for a full ten minutes yesterday which is an achievement for me, as I'm mega unfit.
I'm down almost 3 pounds since I started my new regime last week, hopefully not all water loss, but I am only aiming for a pound a week though so I hope that I'm eating enough.
