Hey guys -
No loss for me this week! Haven't walked as much this week, super busy, hubby's bday, baby's bday last week, i am getting ready to go out of town for a couple of months, lots to do. Guess the walking really is helping me lose weight. I have been super tired too, baby is not sleeping well at night = me not sleeping well either! Anyways, i have been staying within my calories, but guess i really need that exercise. Will get back to walking probably by friday. Taking a redeye flight tonight, so i doubt i will be up for walking tomorrow! Hope the baby sleeps on the plane.

Way to go megan! What have you been doing to lose that 2 pounds?

Everyone have a great week, hopefully i will be back on the computer by this weekend!

evening folksies!! :flowerforyou:

joke for the day-
"A man was in bad shape. He constantly gasped for breath and his eyes bulged. The
doctors didn't give him long to live. He decided to live it up. Withdrawing all of his
money from the bank, he went on a shopping spree. His last stop was at the most
expensive haberdashery in the city. He pointed out a dozen silk shirts. He wore a size
fourteen.
The clerk said, "Your neck looks bigger than fourteen. You need a sixteen."
The man said, "I know my size. I want them in a fourteen."
The clerk said, "I'll get them for you, but I want to warn you...if you wear a fourteen
you'll gasp all day and your eyes will bulge."


so..........................now that i've buttered you up.... confession time: it's not even fully the weekend yet and i've had a chocolate cookie & 2 low fat muffins!! paying for it with some serious sluggishness and TOM cramps....my body is like- told ya so!! lol.... i entered in all my foods and clicked the finished logging button on my home page and it told me that if every day were like today i'd weigh 185.6lbs in 5 weeks ............so thats gaining back everything i lost! :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: not happening..... definately working out sat and sun and eating completely clean....... so sorry group:brokenheart: .....i'm going to be better!!!! i'm not getting off the wagon!!!!

Don't be too hard on Yourself, ClassiC, Stress does effect our efforts to eat healthier and exercise, but in the end, you have to find a middle ground with both that you can live with doing the rest of your life. So don't fret, Keep trying, we won't give up on you. It's great that you are continuing to go to school, and better yourself, no matter what your age, though if that is your pic under your name, you look fairly young.I'm suffering the side effects of that TOM, ALSO, so I sympathize with you on that front, too.I have been giving in to the sweet, and salty cravings.I gain like 5 lbs of water weight.I ate cookies and some sour gummies yesterday,as well some pepperoni , cheese and crackers. Today will be better day!I will be leaving tomorrow morning to go to a beach in Maine , (about a 4 hr drive from where I live in Western MA.) I will be back late Wednesday, so , Don't think I've given up,as I won't be on the computer for about 4 days.I will hopefully be over that TOM, and on my way again to a slimmer, healthier, me.Anyone heard from Mrsprasak, I can't seem to find her. Hope she 's o.k. Here's a quote I got through belief.net.:
Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience.- Victoria Holt.

So Don't live life full of regret. Keep moving forward toward your goals, if you slip, as you probably will,learn from it, and move on.Thanks ,fiftyandfit, Yes , I'm sure it will be easier once the kids are back to school. I'll keep trying, and I will reach my goal.I would love to be about 155 before Thanksgiving, But as the fable The tortoise and the Hare" Teaches us, Slow and Steady wins the race., So if I don't quite, get there, I 'll still continue on this, journey, Knowing I have you all, to rely on to catch me if If I fall. Corny, I KNOW, but true, I Look forward to seeing you all next week. Don't lose sight of your goals!Tamara

Hey guys-
Just checking in, out of town, trying to get everything organized. Eating well, if anything not enough calories, i have to work on that! Something i never thought i would say. Haven't walked since wed, going to head out today. Also haven't been able to log because i don't have the computer set up yet, working on it though.
Haven't been able to weigh myself since i don't have a scale here and nobody else seems to have one. Guess i might test one out in one of the stores, we shall see.
Everyone keep up the good work and have a great week.
