    I lost 3 lbs! *happy dance* at least I know I'm doing something right... and hopefully I can keep it up! Great job today everyone...and even you haven't lost weight this week, you'll probably see a big drop next week, and I'm sure you're looking better than ever :) Let's start the week off with a boom!

    WoW... Well done to all of you on this lately your all so motivated and determined... Let's kick *kitten*!!! Challenge to follow so enjoy your Friday.. ... Never give up!!! If you slip up just dust yourself of or in my cause give yourself a slap on the wrist and start again....If you’re walking down a set of stairs and you slip on a stair, you get up and continue your walk down. You would never get up and then throw yourself down the rest of the stairs. If you've "fallen" lately, now's the time to get up, forgive yourself, and move on! Posted this yesterday but u really like it so I'm posting it again xxxxxxxxx

    You read my mind :) It is a new beginning, and I'm pushing hard this week!
    I need to kick butt like no one's business these next five weeks because:
    a) I promised myself I would be 149 by the time I went to NYC, a number I haven't seen in two years
    b) I promised myself I would be 139 by Christmas, a number I haven't seen since...wait for it...5th GRADE
    c) Majority of my family is going to come over for Christmas, and they've spent most of my life telling me that I would be pretty if I shed some pounds, and patronizing me for being a pig and liking desserts... But no longer! When they all come over on December 24th, I want their jaws to graze the floor. Seriously! I want their eyes to widen and their tongues to loll on the floor, but most of all, I want to prove to them that I did it. That I ran an 8 minute mile, that I eat my salads with a smile, that I have self-control. And most of all, that I lost my weight, after all these years, without any pills or magic, and that I'm worth it. Best gift ever :)

    Sorry, didn't realize it was such a long post!

    50 x side inner leg raises - lay on your with the top leg bent over the other one. Lift the bottom one up and down - controlled all the time (great for inner thighs)

    I struggled yesterday, but just remembered not to beat myself up over a snack or meals. Just to get back up and get back on track. Just remember the support system you have on here and to stay focused the best you can :) hopefully we will all meet our goals by Christmas!

    Hey everyone - I know I have been MIA for awhile now. Last Thursday I had a "happy hour" after work, and when I DID get home, I still had to get ready for a little mini vacation. I was gone all day Friday and Saturday, and then Sunday I had to catch up on my normal weekend chores PLUS it was my week to volunteer at our local Bingo game. :laugh: Back to work today - hopefully a more normal week ahead. I haven't been "bad" - just not good about logging and checking in.

    I'm glad to see so many of you are REALLY REALLY motivated. I also worry about some of our group who seem to have more peaks and valleys. I have struggled a long time, so I don't have all the answers but I have really found that this time, with MFP, it is more about trying to lose very slowly and being able to indulge every now and then, without letting it get out of control. Sure - I wish I could lose this final 10 pounds - it has been almost a year now that I have been up a couple pounds and then down a couple pounds BUT the important thing (to me) is that I haven't gained back the 35 pounds that I lost in 2010.:noway:

    So I recommend putting some of our motivation in finding things that work for each of you, that you can live with over the long term. Allow yourself the little treats now and then - just don't get out of control. I'm sorry this sounds preachy - I think that it is because I have been away for a few days, and have just caught up reading the wall posts of my friends, and all the comments on this thread, and I WANT YOU ALL TO BE SUCCESSFUL!! :flowerforyou:
