    Good morning everyone. :drinker:

    Today is my weigh-in day and I lost 2.6 last week. :smile: Kinda makes up for the crappy .2 loss the week before.

    I'm down 4 lbs. since Oct 1. My goal is to not only make the 5 pound challenge but to also get out of the 200's !!!!

    Hope everyone has a great week.

    Weekends kill me so I'm moving my official weigh-in day to Wednesday. . .I'll be back then to check in! I'm hoping my weight this morning is due to all the sodium I had over the weekend - water, water, water is my motto for today and tomorrow!

    Yesterday I watched a dear friend of mine cross the finish line of her first half marathon, she finished in 2:12:18!! This is the girl who got me started running and I'm so proud of her that I actually stood at the finish & cried for her. It was just amazing :happy:

    Oct 4- 176
    Oct 11- 176...
    Oct 18- 174
    Oct 25-
    Oct 31-

    I've upped my daily calorie & exercise goals for the next two weeks in hopes that I can get my body kicked into gear. *Fingers crossed*

    Good luck to all this week!!!!!!

    I'm way behind on the posts, but thought I'd at least drop in to say hello!

    My hubby started working (yay), but it just so happened that he's been working overtime on Tues/Thurs evenings, which were my nights to go to the gym while he took care of the girls. I guess I'll have to re-jig my routine, now that I don't have a stay at home hubby!

    I am having a hard time making healthy eating and exercise a priority!

    Hey All my MFP friends Im back! : )

    So the move took a week, either I was working and he was packing and moving (4 blocks) or it was the other way around. Our poor kids were so onery being pulled from one house to the other all last week. We are far from settled but we are in! and pretty excited about it. : )

    so i weigh exactly the same as I did to the last time i posted on here at 165.0 I came and checked in a few days ago.
    even tho i have been eating really badly, no time to cook or anything good like that but as soon as i get a mat to put my elliptical on I plan to start using it. its good to see you all I missed coming on here So glad i have internet back haha.

    Good morning everyone :flowerforyou:

    I weighed myself this morning...and I've done it! 5 pounds lost already :bigsmile: PLUS I've met my second goal to be at 140lbs by halloween so that's just under 2 weeks early wooo!

    Any extra loss this month will be a huge bonus for me because I will be out of the 140's and over the 10 stone barrier :love:

    Have a happy tuesday guys!

    Time to check in for the week:

    10/1 - 185
    10/5 - 182.5
    10/12 - 180.5
    10/19 - 180

    Down 5 for the month and still have almost two weeks to go. Plus Mother Nature is visiting this week so I am sure that affected the numbers. Plus I am finally starting to slowly work out again after Bronchitis. Got in a 50 min walk yesterday. Will have to see what today brings....
    Have a good one all!!!

    Well, the damage that I've done is not as bad as I feared. I am up 2.6lbs...which is better than the 5 I expected to see.

    On the other hand, I had an AMAZING time at a beautiful beach wedding in NC that my daughter was the flower girl in. I welcomed in my new sister-in-law with a lot of mixed drinks. I haven't had that many since getting pregnant with my son...10 years ago!

    I ran each morning I was down there but don't recall much of what I ate...just know it wasn't a good idea. I stayed away from MFP out of pure guilt and fear of weighing in again.

    I am back on board and finally checked the weight yesterday. I also got a free gym membership as a perk of my hubby's job. Now there is no excuse b/c I can bring the kids right after work. I look forward to staying in my boundaries and dropping the "extra baggage". I worked too dang hard to reach my goal, only to go right back to the eating habits I had!

    Sorry to ramble but I knew that typing it would make it a more concrete statement in my head! :happy: I think in the big picture, that weekend and stumble was well worth it...it was the time of my life kind of fun.
