I am tempted by anything and everything fried. I can pass by anything that is sweet. But, the fried food is more than I can handle sometimes. Even going to the store is hard, because they have the deli, where there is fried chicken.

Way to go @vazquesmom7!!! How wonderful for you!

A bag of tortilla chips was just rescued from me by my son! So, I am good for now. I think I will be for the rest of the day. He was so matter of fact about it when he took the bag out of my hands and went out of the room. He had them hidden before I realized what he was doing!! Then he said, "Love you Mom" and went outside. How can I go against that?

Goingforahundred - I love the tortilla story - sounds like something my guys would do.

Vazquezmom7 - weekends are easier for me to get the water and exercise goals in, but a lot more temptations - especially when I'm baking.

Great job staying away from those chips with the help of your son! I've been there. I ate some yesterday, in spite of my stomach and bowel problems that brought me to the doctors. Ugh! When will I learn!

I hope that you all have had a great day today.

I was late logging into the spreadsheet. Just finished Saturday's entries today. Have a nice day everyone! We can do it!

@campingma I know how you feel, my husband was craving McDonalds coffee last night, so I went along with the idea but somehow 2 strawberry pies came with the coffee. :-)

@betsym3 good job with the numbers!

@tihi18 girl you can do it. Bring on the pizza just remember....in moderation. Here's rooting for you!

I am determined to put in a workout today!

Thank you! I'm trying! lol

Hello everyone!!! I hope that you have all had a great day. tihi18 has asked to be dropped from the group so we are a group of 5 now. Looking at the spreadsheet I think we have done pretty darned good, especially for the first week. I am not a sweet eater or an alcohol drinker so those two are pretty much freebie points for me. I also drink a ton of water everyday. What will get me is the exercising and burning 3500 calories. I am going to try to be more intentional in those areas this week. Most of my exercise is walking, and I am pretty sure I would have to walk an hour a day to get that many calories burned. Not sure, I will have to look into it. Are any of you able to burn that many calories in a week? If so, please share so I may be encouraged and inspired!

@ttaylortulsa- I hope that you had a wonderful time with your house guests and that your full-time hours at work are a blessing. I think you held up fabulously this week. I would have gained for sure!

@betsym3- don't stress over the spreadsheet. You can put your total in here if you want. I just have to have the numbers by sometime tonight so I can forward them on to RedVelvet.

@campingma- It looks like you figured out the spreadsheet! You are awesome! Did you bake any amazing foods this weekend?

@vazquezmom7- I have never had the strawberry pies from McDonalds. I don't even know if they have those here! Are they hot or cold and are they good? I like their apple pies if they are fresh.

@goingforahundred sorry I can't access the spreadsheet untill tomorrow but my weight was 165 (TOM) and my total points was 153. I will update with the numbers and redpond to all the chat. Sorry very tired tonight.

Our average score is 146.6. Not too shabby!!!! Way to go us. Should we try to make a goal for next week? Maybe to shoot for a higher average than we got this week?
