    Anyway, here's my daily plan:
    24 oz water
    housework
    exercise
    10,000 steps

    Penny, what is 64 down?

    Evening all;

    My calories are good today. I still have one more glass of water to drink. Will do that next. Did not exercise today. Still congested and sluggish, but tomorrow will be better.

    You're all so sweet. A group is fine with me. I'll go along with whatever. So, a name.... I'll think about it.

    Finally found you all! Thanks for the heads up elimay--i was feeling lost not checking in with everyone.

    Not much new for me and my goals......been going over on calories lately as I have been getting lazy in the evenings and just want to munch. Guess that's what you get for sitting in front of the tv so much.

    I need to try and think of some new goals so I will get back to you on that one. Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

    You all support each other so much! I love that! The last group I was in just seemed to disappear so it was hard to stay focussed. This is my first day of the goals and I haven't had any chocolate (it's my kryptonite!) even though I had a pretty hellish Italian exam this morning. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better! Thanks for the add Penny :)

    Gemma this is the group for you!! We care very much about each other. WELCOME!!! Penny I am feeling GREAT!!! It is amazing how much flour and sugar impact the way you feel. I work with another woman who is doing well with me. We have been going to the mall on our lunch hour and walking and then giving ourselves 20 minutes to eat. I then do not spend too much time in the break room which is very dangerous for me.
    HAWKEYE we have all missed you very much and are so glad that you found us. Dang girl I was worried about you.
    Clover hope you are feeling better.
    Elimay how is the dental situation going. Sure have been thinking about you also.
    Sammy we could never forget you girl!
    I did great today. Drank all my water. I did go over on calories but I am okay with it because it is all good food. Logged in and checked in with you all. No flour and no sugar. I passed up a piece of chocolate cake today.
    Will check in with you all tomorrow.
    Have a GREAT night my friends.

    Hey! Thanks for the note Elimay! Nice to be a part of this energetic challenge! Happy New Year to everyone!

    My 3 goals for the rest of this week are:
    1. To stay at or near calorie goal.
    2. To burn 1000 calories most days this week.
    3. To find peace after dinner & stop nibbling.

    If I could do this I could get to 187 (weigh in on 12/7) by my son's banquet next month. (even though it would be nice to wegh less)

    Best of luck to my fellow challengers! Elimay- you are awesome!

    Morning everyone!

    Getting ready for a long day on the road--have at least 6 meetings to get to so it will be a snacking in the car day. I have some healthy snacks in my bag so hopefully I can avoid the gas station munchies. Going to take my water bottle along so I can keep drinking and driving.

    So I'm curious.....do you think that our bodies have a "natural" weight they want to be at. I have been pushing to get down to 150 and finally was within 10 pounds. Today I check the scale and I am up almost 4 stinking pounds. I know it is probably a fluke but I have been exercising at least 90 minutes per day. I'm cycling/spinning on top of doing all of the exercises for the challenges that I am currently in. This morning I am honestly wiped out and feeling light headed- yes I ate breakfast before spin class. Caloriewise I have been up and down but nothing excessive in terms of going over for the day. This seems to be a never ending pattern for me which is getting higly annoying. Part of me wants to change over to maintenance to see what happens but then the competative side of me doesn't want to give up until I hit 150. Sorry for the rant.


    Outside of my mini melt down things are good. Glad to see that all of us have found our way to the new page. Keep up the good work everyone--you are all doing great!
