    Hi....
    Our oldest found out there was no Santa on Saturday night. :noway: I don't know how, but his momma ruined it for him (I'm a step mom, btw) He was devestated:sad: . Was so upset that everyone has been lying to him. I didn't know what to say ya know.. That was rough. I couldnt stop thinking about it all weekend. I can't even remember when I realized this, it was an easy transition I guess because there was no tramatic result. I feel horrible though.:sick:
    ...
    Thanks everyone for being here for me. :heart: :heart:

    I'm so sorry to hear about the end of Santa for your oldest. My teacher, a nun, at school told me in 2nd grade, since she was emphasizing the birth of Jesus. My mom was so angry at her! Go Mom! I remember it vividly, so it must have been traumatic for me. Just so you know, I'm okay with it now. :wink:

    Hi! Can I join? I'm 26 and just gave birth to my first child, a boy, 11wks ago. I am absolutely in love with my husband, and I adore our son. Before I became pregnant I weighed 148 and was trying to get back to my "wedding day weight" of 142. 4 weeks of bed rest plus complications tipped the scale to 207 before delivery. Some weight came off easily after delivery and I've worked to get about 5lbs off, leaving me at 170lbs.
    I Love the idea of a four week challenge! I especially like having it over Christmas and New Year's- lest I forget my weight loss goals :-)

    I want to lose 10 pounds this month!

    I would love to join!!! I am so excited for the challenge!

    A little about myself: I am 24 years old I live in eastern Washington now but grew up in Idaho. I have 11 acres up in the mountains where my two kids, my daughter 6 and my son 4, and my wonderful boyfriend or 2 years live. My boyfriend is also 10 years older then me and not very many people can tell! I have always been a slim person until I had an unfortunate experience that left me bedridden for 6 month while I was pregnant with my son. I went from 115 the day after my daughter was born to 160 the day after my son was born. Four years later I am maintaining 150. I have worked in road construction as the only girl in the area for the last three years. I get laid off in October and start back up in March the following year. I stay 150 but I lose my muscle mass and get chubby until I start back to work.

    I decided to start working out again when my boyfriends dad asked for my sizes for some Christmas clothes. Hesitantly I gave him my sizes. That night he had talked to my boyfriend and questioned my sizes and said I looked bigger. :huh:

    To prove them wrong and to be able to go back to work looking all sexy I want to lose 30lbs by march. My mini goal was to lose 15lbs by Christmas. I started that goal a week ago and I have lost 6lbs already!

    So If I set 3lbs a week that's 12lbs by the end of our four weeks!! :laugh: That makes me happy!!!!!

    I will share everyday, and I love reading everyone's input!!!!

    Mon 12/07/09 05:39 AMHey Everyone!

    For all those who are interested in Polar F6s, Sports Authority has them on sale for $99 (down from $109) and if you Google "Sports Authority + printable coupon" you can find a coupon for $25 off a $100 purchase. The coupon expires 12/12 or 12/13. I was able to get mine for $80 yesterday and I've already fallen in love with it!!!!

    Just wanted to pass on the great information! Stay motivated! :)

    hey... I pulled this from another post... I am gonna do this! It is a GREAT price!

    THANK YOU!!!!!!! I went to Sports Authority, and the Polar F6 was on sale for $99.99 plus the coupon for $25 off (I had to buy some candy to make it over $100 - but I didn't eat it:happy:) that put the HRM at $75!! I bought it, but I'm giving it to my hubby to give back to me on Christmas.

    The coupon is good until Saturday, December 12, 2009.

    Thanks so much for this great tip!

    Susan

    Weigh in tomorrow? :noway: I think I missed a few posts! LOL I'll wait and see what the rest of us are posting tomorrow morning and follow the crowd. :tongue:

    OK, so I'd like to lose 15 lbs. in our four week challenge. I weigh a LOT LOT LOT; right now I am averaging about 3 pounds a week.

    About me: I am a musician/singer. I gained over 200 pounds during my unhappy marriage and then thought after the divorce I would lose it - NOT! I gained 100 more. YES, that's right. I have over 300 pounds to lose. :frown: I am embarrassed to admit it, but I think everyone in this challenge understands that extra weight is extra weight, no matter how much we each have to lose. And... I am very excited to do this challenge and give my old weight loss ticker a kick in the rump! :laugh:

    See you tomorrow! Good night!!!

    Gosh! Aren't those days frustrating as all hell?? Just try changing things up. Instead of one exercise do something completely different. I read that doing the same exercise your body falls into habit of motion and there is no longer any work to it. Good luck with getting that darned scale to move again. If you want... I'll kick it! :)


    ******* :sad: So wouldn't you believe it. The very first day of the challenge a customer comes in and brings me a donut. It is right now, sitting on my desk in a white paper bag. I would feel bad to throw it away yet I know I need to NOT eat it.. HELP!?:sad:
