in Motivation and Support
Everybody is doing great, even though I did not do a chart last week, a LOT of weight was lost both this week and last.

Angela and Kimber win biggest loser honors, but Tammy definately gets an honorable mention. I say that all three of you should issue challenges for the team.

As for me, I have been bad, besides not doing the weight loss chart last week, I went on vacation, celebrated during my birthday, and took an entire week off of exercising. It was actually really nice, but now I need to detox from all the salt and saturated fat I put into my system over the last couple weeks. My golf season is officially over, so now I will be back to the gym 5 days a week.

    Hey Jack. I didn't send in my weight - I remained the same. Hoping to move downwards next week since this will be my first full week at the gym.

    No doubt, most weeks you would have been the biggest loser, not sure what got into everyone this last week.

    Thanks for the chart Jack!

    I know what you mean about taking some time off and it feeling good to just relax. We certainly owe that to ourselves every now and then.

    I hope everyone has a great active week. I am getting back on track tonight by working out and only eating my calories available.

    Congrats to the losers! I am back on track for the past few weeks. I started a boot camp class at my church. It is very difficult but I think I will enjoy having a scheduled class where I am expected to be there. I am on a team with three other ladies. We get points for each class we attend, logging daily food journals, pounds lost and memorizing a weekly bible verse. At the end of ten weeks the team with the most points wins a prize. It should give me some motivation. It is too easy for me to skip exercise when no one is watching lol. My challenge this week is to log all my food, exercise at least four days and drink my water.

    What site were you checking out. I switch to using sparkpeople, and I absoletly love it. After logging food for the day when you hit the final button, it gives you feed back on your day inregards to your protein, cal, fiber, etc. I love it. Love the fitness page as well, tracks, mileage, crunches, etc.

    Good morning all...I'm off to boot camp this morning. This is our high cardio day so I am a little nervous. All the other days so far have been weight training. I will just have to modify and go at my own pace until I get stronger. I'm heading to the beach for my niece's wedding tomorrow so I won't be back on until Monday. Hope you all have a great weekend!

    Good morning Team! It is a beautiful Colorado day today. Nice and cool this morning! Not going to last long though! HA

    Today we are having my birthday lunch at the office. I am a little nervous because I just got back on track and I don't want to blow it. I have gained back and am not happy with myself. So.....I need to stay focused and make smart decisions. We get to pick what we want for our lunches on our birthday so I picked salads! I know not all salads are good, but it is better then Mexican Food or Italian Food which I know I would totally blow it!!!

    Here's to a good day!!! :)

    TGIF Team,

    I am really looking forward to this weekend. The weather here in Tn is getting cooler at night and not as humid during the day which makes outside activities more tolerable. My wife and I play golf pretty much every weekend and am hoping to start walking here in a few weeks since we ride a cart for now.

    I had a good week workout wise getting in a workout every night and plan on going tonight as well. I don't know about you, but when I have a few weeks off it really takes a lot more motivation for me to get back in there and get it done.

    I hope everyone has a great active weekend and an even better weigh in. Take Care, Hawkeye

    Thanks Tammy and Hawkeye for the birthday wishes. Actually today is my birthday and it has started out wonderfully. I love my life!!!! I did pretty good for my lunch yesterday but did have to have some cake!! Oh well.

    I am still not seeing progress on the scale but am not giving up. My goal was to hit my goal by today (my birthday) 13 lbs short. That's okay. I will just keep going because I am healthier and in better shape than I was this time last year! Next year is the big 50 so maybe I can get it done by then! EGADS.....I remember when 50 was ancient. Now, 70 doesn't even sound old!!! ;)

    Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Celebrate with me by making smart decisions and celebrate the little steps!!!! ;)
