GETTING READY TO FEEL FAB AND FINE FOR 2009!!!!!



Question : I have heard alot about Apple Cider Vinegar... does this help. Willing to try anything once

Alliestar, I think I wore that same dress in that same color in a wedding in July. 'Pool', right? And rouching with a rhinestone broach on the left side of the dress? :bigsmile:

Quick question ladies..

Re-weighed myself this afternoon bc my weigh in didnt seem right..and it was 181.6 - on 3 separate times. ( I was at 182 something on Saturday) Do you ladies think I should redo my weigh in at this weight or keep this mornings that was 183.2 ??

Any way I can join this clan!!??!? You guys are terrific motivators!

So we are checking in every Tues and Fri?

Hi everyone! I think i am going to join this challenge if you don't mind. I am a major yo-yoer and I need to stop! I don't have too much weight to lose but I am a college student and I put on way too much weight in the past year and a half so the real goal is to lose that weight and then not gain anymore! So .. I don't have measurements right now but I will update them soon. So here's the weight goal.

Current weight: 155 lbs.
Goal weight for Jan. 6: 150 lbs (not much, but I know how hard this month will be)

Other goals:
1) Drink MORE water and LESS SODA and tea.
2) Exercise at least 3x a week.
3) Eat the food pyramid.

Good Morning ladies!!!

Welcom PSUgrl921!!! What is your first name if you don't mind us asking? It sounds like you're in the same boat I am and let me tell you these women are an inspiration!

Well ladies, I am up EARLY mainly because there is a lot to get done before my mom and I head to my grandparents today for Thanksgiving festivities that will take place tomorrow. This is where the real challenge begins as my Grandmother thinks we're anorexic if we eat less than two whole plates of food at each meal. Her favorite thing to say is that we are quote "eating like birds" when quite frankly we are eating more than we probably ate the entire week!! Argh!! :noway: But I'm going to stand strong and take the criticism because I know best what is good for my plan. The nice thing is that I have my mom on my side too. She knows how hard I'm working and isn't about to let me throw it away this week.

But enough drama, there is still a lot to do. I need to get everything forced back into my suitcase and then make two desserts for tomorrow (somehow I got volunteered for this task, that's the last time I tell my mom about a new pumpkin cheesecake recipe!!) But I love baking and making desserts so I'm glad for the opportunity to make them for others to eat!!

I am starting C25K week 3: day 1 today and I'm kind of nervous about the much longer 3 minute runs that it entails but I think the podcasts Allie suggested will be a big help. THANKS ALLIE!!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Mealwise for today anything could happen so i started off the day well with multi grain cheerios and skim milk with some light cran grape juice. Hopefully the rest of the day works out, I will let you know.

Oh! almost forgot to tell you, my mystery dinner last night? Chicken Alfredo Pizza.....seriously could there be anything WORSE out there for me to eat? I tried to control portions but the pieces were huge and that's all there was besides jello with strawberries. Bah, will just have to work it off today!!!

Have a great Wednesday ladies and good luck with all of your Thanksgiving preparations. Cathy I can almost smell all the food cooking at your house!!!
