    My check-in: No loss for me this week, but I'm hoping to see some movement on the scale by tomorrow. I've been staying within my calories and have been to the gym 4 times this week. I live on the East Coast and we're supposed to be hit by a huge snow storm by this afternoon, and my office has already decided to close! So I'm off to an earlier-than-usual workout at the gym. Hope everyone has had success this week!!! :wink:

    So Are we supposed to weigh in today? I thought that since we weighed in on Monday FEB. 1 that we would be weighing in every Monday. But I did weigh today and I was so happy since I lost 2 pounds.
    Feb. 1 - 156.8
    Today Feb. 5 - 154
    I was so happy!

    We weigh on the first to see if we made our goal. And then on every Friday.

    Great job on the 2 pounds lost.

    1/29 - 149.5
    2/5 - 149.9

    What can I say? It has been a bad week. I got sick on Monday and have not found level ground until today. I am beginning to feel motivated again and vow to myself to have a much better weigh in next Friday!! :smile:

    I always look for something positive with each unpleasant weigh in. Today's motiviation: At least I have stayed away from the 150 lb mark this week, even if today's weight is only .1 shy of it!! :laugh:

    Have a great, safe, Suberbowl weekend. Can I say a modest "Go Saints!" I'm sorry, but being from south Louisiana, I am from that Who Dat Nation!

    Have a good one,

    Pam

    :bigsmile: I am back to my before holidays weight! I really want to pass the 150 mark so I can be in the 140's.

    Phyljen-
    Thank you for asking, my lunch was great! I had my breakfast before I went and went to the gym first also, because I go on my lunch break most of the time. The place we had the meeting was beautiful, lush little farm called Hidden Villa. Once lunch rolled around I took out my bag lunch and started eating. I did get one eye roll with a sigh but everyone else didn't make any fuss over it. One man even said "I didn't see that, yum" lol. The food looked and smelled yummy but I didn't eat any of it! I even asked a friend to take a walk with me after the meeting was over. It turned into a hiking group fast, and I lead the way. All of the four ladies who went said I set a great pase. The women (who I thought were in such great shape I would never keep up with them) were huffing and puffing behind me. :bigsmile:
    It really felt great to stay good on a day that was challenging. Even better after I got on the scale and saw a loss. I kept the scale in mind everytime I saw the M&M's in the center of the meeting table. :laugh:

    Hi Everyone,
    I just got back from a 35 minute jog outside. Several rude men that I passed gave comments as I jogged by but I kept on going even though I wanted to stop and give them a bloody nose! I usually jog on the track at the school but decided to hit the streets this morning instead. I'm ready for the day now and hope to get a lot accomplished. I can't wait to see my weight be in the 140's as well as several others have mentioned. That will be a happy day and it won't be too long until that happens! phyljen:happy:
