justjack51

Thanks for the chart Jack.

Great job everyone!

Kimber, way to start off with a very strong week. Congrats!!!!

For me, my wife says I need to stop losing weight now, so I guess I will "officially" enter the maint. mode here shortly. I still want to lose 2 more pounds though, so maybe I can sneak those in without her noticing. :happy:

Have a great week everyone!

Can I join this?

Welcome, anyone can join us. We weigh once a week on Sundays and send our weight to Jack. He posts a new chart for us on Mondays. Other than that we just get on and start posting.

Happy Monday team...I am finished working for the day. It is rainy and ugly here so no outside activities for me. I guess I'll have to do a DVD or go to the gym, neither of which I'm fond of. I had a big breakfast this morning so I only have 176 cals left for dinner. I'll either have to eat soup or exercise, we'll see. Congrats to all the losers! Hope you all have a great day.

Kimber...Great first week, WTG!

Ann...Yeah for the 150's. Great job! I can't wait to be there too!

Hawkeye...Congrats on reaching your goal! Great job!

Susan...Wow, almost 3 pounds this week. Yoohoo!

Jack...Thanks for the chart!

For the challenge, anyone want to see how many push-ups you can do each day? I do the girlie push-ups.

I had a feeling there wasn't much left in the tank to lose. Maintenance mode is great. I would recommend resetting the goals for half what you have them now, and then only loosely follow them.:bigsmile:

justjack51

Is this open to new members?

Absolutely

Have to start charting you next week though.

Weigh ins are on Sunday, results have to be in by noon central time on Monday.

For the 1st weigh in, I need whatever your starting weight was, last week's weigh in, then your current week weigh in. After that, I just need your current week weigh in.

Other than that, I would kick off joining the group by posting on the blog telling us about yourself, and go from there.

justjack51

I didn't mention Ann and Tammy who also had huge weeks. Great job girls :drinker: .

Tammy, new second digit next week????

I'm in on the push ups, I have done exactly 0 push ups since this started, lots of weight lifting, but 0 pushups, so it should be interesting.

Hello,

I am the newest member to this blog.

My name is Diana and I am a 33 year old working mom from Chicago. I've struggled with my weight for the last few years and finally started getting healthy again when I got pregnant with my son. He is one this month and I still have another 40 to 60 lbs I would like to shed to get to my healthy weight.

Look forward to joining this blog!

Welcome to all the new people! That is super duper!!!!! Join right in and introduce yourselves.

Congrats to all the "loosers"!!!! WTG!!! I hope I can keep mine off and keep on going! I plan to also walk my 2 miles at night after CURVES. I think that really helped me!!!

Everyone have a great evening!
Ann

Welcome Diana! Nice to have you join us. I think you will find our group very supportive and full of energy and suggestions. We seem to be growing like a family/.

Jack and Hawkeye - Maintainence - what a lovely word. How I wish I was there - only 20 or so more pounds to go.

I can't do push-ups- even girly kinds. I will just do something else I don't usually do I guess.

Welcome to the new people.
Thanks for the chart Jack. This is my favourite group

I can't do girly pushups either so I do them on the wall. It works just as good.....well maybe not but it is a start!!!!

Great job everyone last week, and welcome new ones.

Weekend was good, but drank way to much Friday and Saturday. At least with seeding on its way, that will be coming to a halt.

Went to step aerobics tonight, and the instructor ran boot camp. Managed to burn 650 cals. Will get on the treadmill or do a video tomorrow.

I have a very busy week, having a big garage sale in Melville (1 hour away) with my sister, getting rid of lots of my baby stuff. So on Wed going there to get set up, then Thurs I have to go to Melfort (1.75 hours away) for the chiro, plus my son has playschool Tues and Thurs. Then Friday I am back to Melville till Sat for the garage sale. So really I am not sure how much working out I will get into this week, other then aerobics again on Wed night.

Today I have stayed within my calories definately with the help of my exercise calories, but supper def wasn't healthy. We had burrito, thanks to my husband wanting them. Then Thurs for lunch I will be eating at A&W, (not sure really what is healthy there), Wed for supper is subway, and I am sure Friday night with me take out as well. So when I really come down and think about it, my eating prob won't be very healthy as well.

I seemed to have hit a rut, and can't seem to break the 157-159 range. Definately need to ship shape it up. Well that is enough blabbering from me this evening. Everyone is doing so great, keep it up. TTYL

Good morning all...I did 20 girlie push-ups last night but no other exercise for me. I had too much for supper and felt a little sick last night. I am going to the gym today as soon as I finish typing. If I try to wait until the evening I tend to skip it altogether. My oldest has his ceremony tonight for the National Technical Honor Society for his engineering classes. I plan to have a pot of soup in the crockpot so we can eat quick before we go. The sun is shining here today and it looks like a beautiful day ahead. Hope you all have a great one!

Thanks for doing the chart.

It has been really good for me just to make myself accountable for what I am eating. Now I need to do the same thing with exercise.

I can not belive you are up at 5:00 in the morning. I had to do a double take. LOL Tell Josh congrats, I am really proud of him.

Evening all...I had a busy day today. After I finished work, I went for a jog, got a haircut and style, looked at a swimming pool, fixed a very good dinner (beef and broccoli with rice), jumped in the shower, rushed to Josh's ceremony, stopped at parents to have ice cream and finally made it home. I am pooped! I had a delicious little (well maybe not so little) strawberry shortcake with sugar free strawberry glaze and fat free cool whip. Yummy! It put me just a little over cals but it was sooo worth it. I am going to do my 20 push-ups now. Sleep well MFP friends:yawn:

I love strawberry shortcake. Will have to try this one. Did you use the regular little cakes or angelfood cake?

I used the regular small round cakes. I think they are 140 cals and 1.5 grams of fat for 2 of them. They had everything except the Cool Whip on a display together at my Ingle's grocery store.

Where did everybody go??

tigermom79

A little late getting on tonight! Just went for a great "fast paced" walk with my hubby. Burned about 270 calories!!! YIPEE! Also made it to Curves so that was another 350. I feel great. Ate too much dinner so the walk hit the spot!!!

I keep forgetting to do my push ups. I usually do them in the shower since I do them against the wall. I think I will do a few crunches before I hit the bed.

Night All!!!! See you in the morning!

Tammy.....I agree with you....WHERE DID EVERYONE GO!!!

I'm stll here, been naughty lately, need to start eating better again.

Still exercising, but my normal routine is not as easy as it used to be. My golf game is definately improved this year, I had a pretty good feeling that if I lost the weight, it would make a difference, and it has.

Good for you on your Golf Game. That is something I have never been able to get into. I have a lot of family that play but I think I will stick to Putt Putt!!!!

Good morning Beautiful teammates!!!!! It is a Beautiful morning in Colorado (the wind hasn't started yet). It is suppose to get cooler the next couple of days but then perk back up for the week-end! That is always a good thing!

Yeah for me....I actually remembered to do my push ups this morning (20 of them).

We have a board meeting today. Dang those things come around way too often!!!! We are serving chips and dips and taquitos so not "real" fatening stuff!

End of the school year....YIKES!!!!! So many activities these next few weeks. Tonight we have a choir concert and tomorrow is Athletic Awards. It is always so fun, but exhausting!

My eating lately hasn't been the best, but I am working in more excercise to try and compensate. My activity level during the day is nill because I have a desk job and sit quite a bit. So.....that is why I am trying to do more at night!

I have to say though....my son had some Whoopers candy sitting on the counter at home and I snitched one! GOSH it was sweet. One was all I wanted!!! That is quite an improvement as before I probably would have "snitched" the whole box!!!

I hope my youngest does well on a test this morning in reading because if he does, he will have received Straight A's for all 12 quarters in Middle school. (All 3 years)

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday!!!! One more day till Friday!!!!

smwert

The only exercise I did this week was a half hour walk on Tuesday. It has been so busy at work I haven't taken a lunch break and worked until 6 pm instead of my usual 4:30 pm. So I am sooooo tired. I do have the 17.4 k bike-athon on Saturday though. That should make up for some exercise

Good evening team...I've had a busy day today getting ready for my yard sale on Friday and Saturday. We are going to Carowind's on Sunday for Mother's Day. We started going in 2001 when my mom died just to get out of town for the day and it kinda became a tradition. I will be busy for the weekend so I probably won't be on much. I hope all of you moms have a wonderful day on Sunday.

Ann...Congrats to your son for such great grades!

Susan...Good luck Saturday!

Was naughty last night, gonna have to get my act together today.
