    ok gang! Tomorrow is weigh in day! How did everyone do this week? I have been noticing that I am going over on my sugars and so I am looking for some other quick meal ideas that don't include artificial sweeteners. Other than the dreaded sugar thing I have done good all week. Exercised everyday, both on the treadmill at work (30 min/day) and my Biggest Loser 10 minute cardio workout when I wake up. I can't do more than the 10 minutes for now but it is getting easier so maybe sometime next week I can advance to level 2 of my video...

    See ya all tomorrow for weigh in!!!!! :happy:

    Ive lost 2lbs since last Friday. :happy: Im very happy with that. I only got in 3 days of exercise but I drank lots and lots of water. Some days I didnt want that much water but I drank it. And I stayed within my calories all week with the exception of one day when I went 99 over. My goal for this coming week is to get in at least 5 days of exercise. Thank all of you for the motivation and support in this group. That helps me a great deal too...reading all of your posts, blogs and comments. Love you guys! :flowerforyou:

    Way to go both of you!!! I think a loss is good no matter the number. At least the scale is going down. I dont have my food tracker set to track my sugar but maybe I should. I have it set to show my Calories, fat, protein, fiber and sodium. Wish they had room for us to track as many things as we want. hehe.

    THAT WOULD BE NICE BUT SOMEHOW I THINK IT WOULD BE TOO MANY THINGS TO TRY AND WATCH... HE HE HE

    Well I will say this...my 2 lb weight loss is definitely not due to the last few days. I did work extra hard over the last weekend and ate great!!! Didnt cheat and didnt go over my calories. But 2 days this week I did go over! :grumble: I have had a pretty BLAH :indifferent: week. Just havent felt motivated to work out. Im tired and stressed at work. So I have enrolled in a new thing my employers are offering ...im EXCITED :happy: about it too. They are offering a 15 week "Eat Smart, Move More, Weigh Less" program. On Thursdays during my lunch they are offering a 30 min nutrition class then on Monday and Wednesday nights we will meet with a trainer at the local fitness center who will give us tips on proper exercise techniques and then we will work out as a group. ITS FREE!!! And if we complete the whole program we will get a half day off with pay. Cant beat that. It starts on Feb. 25th and lasts til June 10th. Im hoping that will be the boost I need to keep me motivated. Good luck to the rest of you today. Hope you all had a good scale day! :flowerforyou:

    OK... I weighed in today because I will be coming into work late tomorrow. I have lost 2.8lbs for a total of 23lbs now!!!!!! yeah!!!!! Hope everyone is doing well. I kind of fell of the band wagon last night because I ate an extra piece of pizza and went over my calories, sodium, fat, and sugar... I think its mostly because its TOM time and I am craving and seem hungrier. I started doing my Biggest Loser video again after taking a couple weeks off from it. Only because I was being lazy before. I am back on track now and looking forward to doing good this next week.
    How is everyone doing? Any frustrations or exciting news to share??? Good luck on weigh in tomorrow! I will be thinking skinny thoughts for all of you!!!!!!!

    Just thought I'd pop in and say hi! Not to join this group but to comment on the cute name lol :tongue:

    I thought I was gonna stumble across a whole load of East-London (UK) Males on this thread! :laugh: Lemme explain...

    In Cockney (English Slang) a 'Geezer' is a term used to mean a Man, therefore 'Geezers' = Men! :laugh:

    Just thought I'd share! :wink:

    That is really funny... In the USA Geezers means Old people (like over 100 years old) and since we are a bunch of people of different ages that started out by needing to lose at least 100 pounds we decided to jokingly call ourselves the Geezers Group.. :laugh: :bigsmile:

    I maintained this week. :grumble: I wanted a loss but I didnt earn it, thats for sure! I have been a slacker most definitely! Im hoping I can have a rejuvenation this week. I need to get back to what I had when I first started...that drive...that determination! Im working out tonight at the local gym and hopefully that will be the boost I need to get back on the fitness kick! Good luck Debi! Hope you have a good week!

    Debi,

    It does look like we are the only two left! I had an ok weekend :smile: Went to two classes at the gym Saturday. They were one hour each: zumba and kickboxing. Then yesterday I went for a walk with my son, 1.5 miles and it was mostly uphill. I didnt see a great loss but I am happy with a pound. At least the scale is moving for me again. :bigsmile: Hope you have a wonderful week. We can do this...no surrender!!! :laugh:
