    WOW! great job Barty! 40 lbs. You are so motivated. We're all proud of you.

    Bru, good job on your weigh. Love the new ticker.

    Amanda, just finished my first week back to water aerobics. I am taking a class. Not fortunate enough to have my own pool. I'm not sure I want the upkeep it takes. But having one right there all the time would be nice. 20 some years ago I taught kids swim lessons at the gym and occas. subbed for aerobics teacher so it was kinda like coming home to get into a class. Today I was early for class so I did some lap swimming too. That was a real stress releaser for me. I also used my HR monitor this week too. That was fun.

    Congrats to all who loss this week/month. Keep it up.

    I have been so busy - haven't had a chance to read up - hope everyone is doing well!!

    Me:
    July1 - 168.4
    July9 - 165
    July 15 - 161.8

    Doing well - 6 more days of HCG then 'stabilization'.

    2.8lbs before I'm out of 'overweight' range.

    Great things that happened:
    Two people referred to me as 'tiny' . .. .as if!
    I tried on some amazingly cute dresses at Dress Barn today - in size 10!!! (one was a little too big)
    One guy at work asked if I was gonna put a little weight back on because I was too thin!?!?! Say what?

    I will be on vacation until July 24th - no computer - I will miss you all - have a wonderful encouraging healthy week everyone!

    :smile: Hi everyone!

    July 1..................145 ish? can't really recall, but I think thats about right
    July 9.................141.8
    July 16...............140.2



    So my summer camp ended today. Lots of happy parents and happy campers so I am in a good mood. Plus my boss looked very pleased. :bigsmile: I had a little thank you party for my 4 camp staff girls after the campers left (high school gals now, who went to the middle school) so I got them a pizza from Costco and ate two slices of it. I don't even feel bad because I was very good during the rest of the day and the last few weeks. Also, I am about to go on vacation and for me when I am super good for a long time I tend to bindge and go crazy for a few days, wanted to not let loose THAT much while I am out of my normal schedule so I thought I would just enjoy the pizza and not stress about it. Feels good that I am and can change the way I think about food. I am starting to fix my all or nothing mind set. Off work for two weeks, so I guess that I will just have to see how that goes, just trying to stay as healthy as I can and eat only when I am hungry. I also came to the 40 lb lost mile stone! It took me 6 months to lose the first 30, then a year to lose this last 10. But I figure that at least I am not living with the old bad habits of the past everyday anymore, they do say slow and steady. Being so close to the end for so long just proves that I can maintain....right? :laugh:


    Bru- What about doing a walking challenge? We could walk an hour each day. Even if some of us have to do shorter walks (2-30 mins or 4-15 min walks could be easy to fit in. I was also thinking about adding a new veggie to your day. Some veggie that you have not tried, or don't eat often and you can play with different ways to make it. Just a few ideas to add to your list. :flowerforyou:

    Can I join mid-month please? I need a push! lol

    July 2nd SW 214.2
    July GW 209.2 (oh, how amazing would that sub 210 be!)

    I'm 213.2 atm, but I'm pretty sure of a bigger loss this week 'cause I haven't been drinking nearly enough water. I reckon there's some water weight in there this week!

    Hi everyone! Well the kids & I had a HOT one out there today! After the long drive to Starved Rock we got there around 11am & then started our hike. We did about 12-15 miles, can't really know for sure. We all had our backpacks filled with yummy snacks of granola bars & fresh fruit. We hiked for almost 4 hours! We took several sit down breaks to have some water & a snack. It was really hot & when we got to the waterfall that was nice & refreshing!

    After we finished our hike we got the blanket out & cooler & sat in the shade & had our yummy lunches of deli sandwiches (which I made) and lots of fresh fruit & veggies & yogurt . We had several weight watchers snacks for desserts too & the kids loved everything.

    After lunch I had brought a frisbee-type toy thing & watched the kids play for awhile. I was too worn out at that point!

    Then we packed up the SUV & headed for home. We ran up to the cafe nearby for dinner, then went over to Grandma&Grandpa's to play with the puppy for a bit. Finally we came home & all jumped in the pool! I only did for about 15 minutes however - it felt great, but it was dark outside & I am just pooped out!

    So anyway - burned over 1300 calories today! I have now completed BOTH of my 90 min straight workouts today - so the other day one I did is just an extra! :laugh: :wink: :laugh:
