    Well, I had a 5 lb weight loss last challenge, but I attribute that to going off the BC pills. So now I have to work to have an ACTUAL weight loss for this round. Starting this past Monday, I really kicked myself into gear, but I need to not lose focus.

    MY GOALS:
    1) Continue to eat healthy throughout the challenge and not self-sabotage my efforts every 3rd or 4th day.
    2) Get in some form of exercise everyday.
    3) Keep a positive attitude so I can consistently see the 130s lb.

    Looking forward to this challenge with you ladies!!! Thanks as always for the support!!!

    Hiya Sixers. I went MIA last challenge. No promises I won't do the same this time. Getting divorced is hectic, I'll tell ya what! But I'm here, I've lost the weight I gained in the last challenge, back to almost the same start as before. I'm ready to try again!

    Lula, I love your comment about the fresh start! SO TRUE!!!

    Oh Rhiannon, I am taken aback by the simplistic beauty and happiness of your profile pic. 69754 Was this recent? Oh, I LOVE this photo. Priceless. Beautiful. Oh.... *lovey dovey sigh* I've been thinking about you SO MUCH lately. Do we need to email each other to start venting and doing daily, or even hourly, check ins with each other?? I miss you!!!

    Kristin, I was looking at your meal plan for Tuesday... yesterday.... Is that enough food? It looks really light weight.... ??

    Bahama Amy, realistically you can still lose weight during your pregnancy as well! My high school best friend did just that, eating better and lost lots of weight during her pregnancy. She weighs less now than she ever has, and had a healthy 8 or 9 lbs baby boy. Keep truckin' along, I am excited for you!!!

    AmyLou, GREECE???]/b] I am green with envy. I mean, I seriously am JEALOUS. What are you doing in Greece? Who are you going with? I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Greece. le sigh!

    Verda, here's to us maintaining the same weight :drinker: better than a gain, right? :wink:

    Izzy, you'll be on a cruise so soon!!! Where are you heading?

    Oh Tiff, you poor thing!! Are you having asthma/ allergy issues? Keep working at it, sweetheart!!

    Tamm, I need to email you. I mean to stay in touch but have been super bad about it. Please forgive me?

    Cathy, a puzzle sounds like fun! I love working puzzles. Plus it's hard to eat while doing a puzzle. The pieces get dirty too easily. :wink:

    My Goals:

    1. Keep logging my food. Forcefully facing what I'm eating, good, bad or indifferent.
    2. Get to the gym!!!! I'm paying for the membership, so I should be going!!!
    3. Keep feeling empowered. Keep up the momentum. Keep moving forward!

    Having a difficult time drinking all my water. :grumble: I feel like an obstinate child, which amuses and frustrates me.

    B- coffee with creamer, diet green tea, Fruity Cheerios (no milk)
    L- Michelina's Santa Fe Beans & Rice (yum!), Diet Sam's Cola
    S - ??? I have 100 cals in cheese balls if I need a crunchy cheesy snack, but I hope to avoid snack time
    D- ??? maybe a hot dog casserole I have a recipe for, maybe fish sticks and veggies? I have Kiddo tonight, so my meal will vary based on her mood and what she wants to eat.

    My water bottle is sitting on my desk, staring smugly at me.
    It looks so snooty, with it's beautifully curved body and it's cap held high.
    *snarl*
    I can do this today. I can drink all my water.
    But first --- small goals. I can finish THIS bottle of water (16oz).
    CHEERS!! :drinker:

    Lauryn, XOXOXOX I've got to run or we'll be late out the door but I wanted to post a hug and a thanks and I miss you too! The pic was taken Jan 27th of this year :smile: I love it too :heart:

    HI EVERYONE!!! More later! I'm down 0.4 lb this morning so that's better than the perma-gain I've "enjoyed" since the fall.... I'll check in tonight!

    Lauryn...Hotdog casserole sounds yummy! And keep working on the water! You can do it! And as far as my meal plans, I always get in pretty much all my calories...only a few short if not over.

    Rhiannon...Yay for 0.4 down!!! Hope you're having a great day!

    Well...just finished my lunch...yum! Now...back to some work!

    Have a great afternoon!

    Kris, I agree that hot dog casserole does sound yummy, but I'm not sure it's very low calorie! :laugh: We'll see once I get it made.

    Hey ladies!

    I'll miss you both Verda and Tamm! But I WILL see you on the next challenge!

    I did Walk away the pounds yesterday instead of weights... but I made up for it by doing weights and treadmill today. I'm pushing it out!

    Gotta study and prepare for tomorrow, sorry my messages are so brief! You are all in my thoughts!

    Lauryn- BRAVES??? REALLY? LOL I live in STL.... Home of the Cardinals!

    Very busy day today! Got all my final papers for my cruise. April 24th! YEA!!!! Changed my swimming days from MWF to TTH sometime on the weekend. The gym has classes on MW so they chase me out of the pool. DARN!
    Have a great nite everyone!

    Hey Ladies!

    Glad to see alot of you still hanging in! Good luck on the next 6 weeks.

    I am bowing out of the challenge. I really have not been present and am just not a provider of support for anyone right now. I need the support but cant give it back.

    I am heading back to weight watchers and have purchased Turbo Jam. I will be kicking it into high gear. Once I can get on a routine with work, kid/husband time, workout time and good sleep then I will do more than lurk!

    Good luck to all of you! I wish you enormous amounts of success!:heart::flowerforyou: :smile:

    Amy dear, it's okay if you can't offer anything to others right now. There is enough love and motivation for everyone, even if what you need is just to RECEIVE it! Please re-consider :heart:

    Tamm & Verda, keep it going and we're here!!

    Cathy, I completely understand. This has been my pattern, too. We can do this!

    Kristin, I'm glad to hear you're getting your cals in. I was thinking the same thing :wink:

    Lauryn, so what did you have for supper after all?

    My day was good-bad. There was a cookie incident, but otherwise I had:
    1 slice of toast w/ almond butter & 1/2 a banana plus 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese for breakfast,
    some brown rice sushi for lunch (and those darned cookies - UGH!) plus some celery,
    then I had quinoa, corn & tofu with home-made (very healthy) spicy peanut sauce wrapped in steamed kale and some walnuts as well.
    I did a BodyPump class and I've got Pump in the morning. Need to get to bed though - EARLY morning for the gym!

    :heart:

    Rhiannon - Pump two days in a row!?! I'm not sure I could do that. Impressive

    Tamm, Amy (PDX) - We will miss you, but totally understandable.

    Sandy - I've been thinking about getting into swimming as our gym has a pool. Any suggestions for a newbie?

    Tiff - Keep up the great work

    Cathy - Great job on the water. I know for me when I start eating incorrectly, it's hard to kick it back into gear. But I know you will!!!

    Lauryn - Great job on the water. Slow and steady wins the race. We are happy to have you back.

    Verda - Hope those meds get themselves straight soon.

    B - Alright B. Let's get this challenge rockin'! Summer is a comin'! I'm gonna want to see some new posts of your white bathing suit with all your great success.

    Amylou - You world traveler you. This will definitely be a "challenge" for you but I haven o doubt you can do it.

    Amy (baha) - New baby is definitely a great incentive goal. You can do it!

    Kristin - As always, thanks for keeping us straight :wink:

    amyp - great job on the last weight loss. gear up for the next!!!

    Whomever I might have missed, sorry :cry:

    As for me today, no time for gym, but going to try and get some running in. Doing pretty good with food for the past three days. But the weekend is coming, so needing to stay focused. You guys will definitely help me out!!!

I was so not ready when wyatt was only 7 months old .... lol ..... i woulda sworn to you that wyatt would be an only child hahahah ! but different things happening in our family jus caused me to want to have just one more!

    B- where are you girl ?!?! ... lol .... :sad: i miss you lol but i totally get that your busy !!!!! keep up the great work girl !

    Amy (lou)- Woohoo for maintaining .. way better than gaining ! wow you have a lot of functions ! yay for graduation !!! .... ill be thinking of you during this exciting but stressful time !

    Verda--- im sure with all the working out you do ... its frustrating when your body doesnt want to cooperate .... heres to hoping in six weeks ... ur body will be balancing out those hormones and medications .... :bigsmile:

    Sandy -- So glad its beautiful weather at home .... sucks that the days they do classes they try to run you out of the pool though !!! glad you got it changed !

    Tiff-- WE can do this 10 lbs ! ..... Thats my goal too ! lets work it out ! congrats on the great work out ! i walked away the lbs lol ... day before yesterday !

    Tamm-- will miss you ! see you on the next challenge !

    Lorna-- good for you ! sometimes we need a kick in the right direction... thank you so much for your comforting words ! a new baby is definately the best incentive ! esp. since my husband had a change of heart... he was against having another one for so long !

    Cathy-- i have so many days like that too ! where i can keep a certain part of the day in check and the rest of it goes downhill ! LOL .... we can get through it together ! ..... :flowerforyou:

    Laurynn-- (HUGS) :flowerforyou: Im so proud of you for working so hard despite the divorce and being a mom! i know how tough just regular old days of mommyhood can be for weight loss.... but we can push thru ! Thanks for all your kind words.... that sounds amazing... i have alot of extra to get off.... so i want to keep on losing it during my pregnancy and keep on walking .... and i have about SIX pregnancy workouts that i switched to doing when i got pregnant with my son .... kept my weight gain at a minimal .... but i could have tried a lot harder ! ... so thats my goal... keep up with my weight watcher points ! ... and continue losing and who knows ... i may end up smaller at the end of this pregnancy then ive been in YEARS !

    rhiannon-- yay for being down the .4.... always nice to see SOME kind of loss each day ! lol ... cookie incident? lol .. sounds like something that would happen to me lol ! .... but your day sounded great minus that ! so way to go !!! good luck with your Pump class today!

    Amy(pdx) ... aww girl please dont quit because of that ! i mean if your going through alot and just cant be around and you wanna sit this one out then thats up to you ... but not because you cant support us the way you need supporting ! IF YOU NEED THE SUPPORT then stay ! we dont give it to get it back ! .... xoxoxo ...

    AFM:
    well im back down this morning to what i weighed in the other morning at 264..... so yay ! i hate when you weigh in and you go up immediately ! ugh ! ... but im going to work hard this week to get down some of the 10 ..... cant wait to be in the 250's ....

    Yesterday i cleaned my entire office (future baby #2 bedroom) haha .... wow had i collected a lot of stuff ....... GEEZ ! it piles up from no-where lol ! but its all clean and i feel like i can focus on exercising when my house feels alot more de-junked !
