    I'll get the information together tommorow once I have everyone's weigh in.

    Night team!

    :drinker:

    Holy Moly-- look at that list-- woooooooooooooooooo--

    This is the year, my friends-- God bless you all. I must share with you, gabby ol' goat that I am, my story--

    I'm a mother of 9-- my husband has been unemployed for over a year, we are in danger always of losing our home...for the second time. I have psoriatic arthritis, which has been very, very painful.

    I have been fat to some degree all my life-- and in June '08 I sat in the doctor's waiting room and saw the Today Show's "Joy Fit Club," that was featuring a woman from Ohio who'd lost 150 pounds.

    I sat there thinking, "Damn-- if she can do it, why can't I?" It clicked that day, sweet new friends-- I can't explain it any better than that. I vowed that day to take off my needed 50 pounds by my next birthday in June '09.

    As you can see, I didn't quite make the goal date, but I've never stopped trying. And won't! I vowed to take control over this enemy once and for all, and defeat it.

    I pray that you all have experienced the "click" and that this will be your year to conquer this enemy-- whether it's been a lifelong one, or a more recent one-- this enemy can be defeated.

    Stay here with us-- work with us-- laugh with us-- cry with us-- yell with us-- love with us-- we'll be there for you as we've been for each other this last wonderful year--

    I'm done yapping-- swear! (you'll learn I ramble-- )

    Blessings be yours this day, my friends-- new and old-- let's kick some butt and defeat this enemy!!!!

    Thank you for organising this spyguy.

    The water is no issue, sometimes I think that I actually drink too much of it! The sweets ar getting easier to avoid as well, but cookies :grumble:

    We have had (a little by the rest of UK standards!) snow over night and all of the schools are closed, so once my dear children are all awake we will be going out to play in the garden :tongue:

    I am SOOOO jealous you get to go to the gym that early in the morning. Ours opens at 5, but my husband has to leave for work at 5:30...and it's a 20 minute drive to the gym. Soooo....no early morning gym for me. Enjoy the gym after school drop off!

    You just did tag it by posting on it. Now, it'll be under "community", "message boards", "my topics", and you'll see it there! :drinker:

    good morning black team! i hope everyone has a good weigh-in today. i'm back up 2 pounds this week and i have a feeling it's going to take me a loooong time to get where i wanna be. i've been going up and down the same 2 pounds for the last 6 weeks and it's getting pretty frustrating. i know this tends to happen when you get down to the home stretch, but i can't help being a little discouraged. i'm leaving my ticker where it is for now, and if for some reason i'm not back down to where i was by next week, i'll make myself change it. have a good day everyone!

    Discouraging is not even strong enough to describe that 'stuck' feeling. Hang in there. You've heard all of us grumble. I try to remind myself how far I have come and to not get discouraged.

    And if it makes you feel any better, I was 153 in May and today I was 152.6. That would be great if I was trying to maintain. Fact is, I'm still trying to lose, I eat well and work out at least 4 days a week, usually more. Of course I do have the occassional off the wagon jaunt, and while there are no excuses, they normally come after I work like a maniac and see no results.

    Keep at it, try not to get too down, you've been so successful, you will figure it out!

    A side note after talking about being 'stuck'.

    REMEMBER! Take before pics, no matter how horrifying they seem . Take your measurements! Some days those are the things that I need to make me realize how far I have come!

    We should all post our before and 'still working' pics from time to time, just as a reminder! I never get tired of seeing the successes of my friends. It gives me warm fuzzies!

    Beth welcome to the "last 10" haters club! :angry:

    I am so on the verge of losing that last bit of flab on the middle.........it is infuriating. Of course I have done NOTHING to move it along so I can only be mad at myself.

    I have a renewed sense of challenge from BT so think in the nxt 5 months it will be GONE...gone I say!!

    Lost 4 pounds this week, it really helped that I actually started exercising again. This week I'll work on the water and sweets.

    Good morning everyone! :flowerforyou:

    The water thing will be no big deal...since Monday my average has been 6-8, 20oz water bottles a day :drinker: If you're wondering why I don't post much...it's bc I'm in a lil girls room...a lot...:laugh:

    Sweets are aren't my thing, so that shouldn't be too big of a problem...my chocolate chip cookies will miss me, but they will get over it. :tongue:

    Have a happy and healthy day!!! :heart:
