Double your willpower to stop eating after dinner and log every tidbit that crosses those lips! :bigsmile:

    I'm in. Not currently exercising, trying to start out with diet alone, but my water intake sucked today so I am going to double up on it tomorrow for sure. Good luck everyone! I'll post back later on how I did.

    I'm in, too! But while I'm reading this here in Germany it's already evening and I won't workout anymore today - I'll double my exercise next saturday, lol.

    Well at least my eating was right today and I'll stay within my calorie limit, even if I'll have a glass of wine later (still thinking about it)

    I'm in, but I'll be having a Skinny Sunday instead. Not that I don't plan to be good today, but I have a 60+mile bike ride planned for tomorrow with 2 friends. I'll check back in tomorrow. Happy Skinny Saturday, everyone! :drinker:

    I love it!!! I'm so in!
    Weekends are always a nightmare for me, its when I'm in the house by myself, for any period of time, I gravitate to the kitchen.

    (Drinking water as I type, and after a very hefty gym / swim session.)

    Hi! Welcome newbies! The more the merrier! If you caught us late or you have other plans you can just have a Skinny Sunday! Do your best today and eat well. When I shopped today I stopped by the farmer's market and bought fresh zuchinni, cantalope, nectarines, mangos, and more. Can't wait to cook a healthy dinner tonight! Stay in the skinny and let us know how the day went! For me, it went well. I believe it is due to getting my expercise in early. That puts me in the mindset of taking good care of myself for the rest of the day.

    I am blessed to have buddies like you! Enjoy the rest of the weekend! :heart: :smooched:

    well,going to count this as a positive day....burned 700+ calories (just couldn't keep my heart rate down enough to run more--I think I am still recovering from my cold) so I will take it....did pretty good eating today....made healthy banana dessert--and drank 15 (8oz) glasses of water so far...and made a new friend.....hope everyone else had a great SSC!!!

    Burned another 500 or so calories and drank lots and lots of H20. Ran everywhere this evening, did not go for a run, just set the rule that if I went outside I was going to run where ever I was going. It felt great! I have some weakness in my left foot I need to work on. It just does not react as it should. Bad foot!

    Just finishing up for the day. Hope you all had a great Skinny Saturday.

    Everyone needs to check out Timbotina's before and after pics. They are amazing, and so is she!

    I did ok yesterday. Loads and loads of water, plus extra exercise (maybe not quite double, because I got a twinge in my knee, but almost). Calories were good and loads of veggies. A success I think x

    Oh what fun!! You hit the jackpot at that Farmers Market Hon!! Fresh Market food is so delicious and absolutely NO comparison to store bought. The tomatoes and cukes I've been eating have been Heaven!! :)
