    Hello all! Hope everyone is having a GREAT day! I have managed to put all the crap life has thrown at me the last few days aside and today I have ate well, drank my water and got in a walk today. One step at a time...

    Thanks for all the support and encouragment! Good luck to all!

    Good Morning everyone!!

    PercyPig (not sure your name yet), no I live in Canada (Ottawa, Ontario). And we are soooo close to the Province of Quebec (Gatineau, Quebec). So I was raise in French, I live there (Gatineau) and I work in Ottawa.
    Actualy, I've never been in France, only in England. (Manchester, then Cornwal) Never even saw London. My then Mother in Law was controling what we did...but I managed to see Stonehedge (not sure of the speling) on our way to Heatrow airport... Not with him anymore, so maybe I'll return and visit...one of these days, but my husband loves the beach in Cuba...

    So last night I did the circuit training! 20 minutes of intense threadmill, 45 minutes of circuit, then another 20 minutes of intense threadmill. I was dead. my legs hurts and arm are sore, but I feel good and hopefuly all this extra exercise will pay off on Monday on the scale...fingers cross. I have a realy hard time to lose weight and an even harder time to get my butt to the gym.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Good Morning All - was having interenet issues so I never made it here last night, got mad and went to bed instead and managed to have a fabulous sleep =)

    Things my way have been going good, getting in my morning cardio session before work and loving it. Hopefully will get my 'home gym' set up this weekend, need to move some furniture but need the hubby home to do it and I believe he will be home on Sunday. Once that is done I am getting full force back into my strength, it is time and I miss it =)

    It is a wonderful, beautiful, sunny day here in Southern Alberta couldn't ask for more.

    Joni - I hope things are going well for you in London, I think of you every day :-)
    MamaDee - That is the best way to do it, one day at a time. Wake up and conquer each day and we are always here to help.
    Alyshe - Hello!!! How have you been??? I agree I like that is more support than a challenge, sometimes that is what we need more than anything.
    Alibreasy - Welcome, glad you managed to find us!!!
    SweetCJ - I also live in Canada, Southern Alberta for me. It is always nice to find friends that from the same country. Your circuit sounds awesome glad it worked out well for you =)

    Hope everyone has a wonderful day today!!!

    Morning Kendra! All's well in London, thanks. Things have been quiet for the past two days, luckily! Still can't believe how many kids just enjoy destroying their own neighbourhoods though, very shocking!

    Today is a good day, I had my first compliment since I've started my weightloss journey again. Yay! And if it stops raining soon I might even be able to go for a run tonight!

    Have a great day everyone! :flowerforyou:

    Good morning everyone! I you all have a wonderful Thursday. One more day until the weekend. Woo hoo!

    Those compliments are so nice to get. They kind of get you jazzed up and let you know you're making great progress.

    Hi everyone! I'm just about to do some aerobics on the Wii but I'm so tired! Been really tired lately. At least its an excuse to have a nap later! Haha I had an interview yesterday for a job. In some ways I hope I don't get it cause it sounds like the last place I worked which I left due to me started to get depressed. I would cry at work lol but at the same time I need a job. Need to save to go to college cause I want to work with children. It was make up a few months ago! But I'd be worried cause its not very stable.

    Pergypig, yay on the compliments!

    Xx

    Good luck with the workout Haylz! I hope you find something you like, unfortunately job hunting isn't the easiest thing so I feel your pain. My job has really been standing in the way of my workouts this week grrrr. Looks like it's a little quieter today so hopefully I'll make it to Circuit class. I had a cheeky peak at the scale today and I'm at exactly the same weight as last Monday, so will have to take things to another level this weekend if I want to see some change on Monday!

    Anyone got any exciting plans for the weekend? I'm going on a date with a guy who is two years younger than me. How did I get myself into THAT mess?

    Joni :flowerforyou:

    TGIF!!! Yeah, I have been waiting for this day and I am so looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning :-) How is everyone today?

    Haylz - I understand the job hunting, it is hard. I personally hate it but I do hope things work out for you and you can find something soon.
    Joni - How are things in Lodon today? Congrats on the compliments and I hope work lets you get to your class today. Oh yeah and GOOD LUCK on the date ;-) (I am winking but it doesn't look like it) You will have to let us know how that goes for you, wishing you luck =)

    It is going to be another beautiful, warm and wonderful day and it also helps that it is Friday!!! Hope everyone has a good one!!!

    Thanks Kendra! Things are back to normal here now, luckily! And yes I did get some gymtime today, yay!

    Girls, just read this great post and wanted to share: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/315484-plateau-advice. I think I'm in phase 2 now, I haven't really seen great things on the scale this week but reading this post explains that a little bit and encourages me even more to keep going!

    Yay me!!! (boy, I sound like that "London" girl from my daughter's show[The suite Life on Deck]), but I manage to rollerblade last night. It was not raining and the sun was overcast by lots of clouds, but I still went for it. It wasn't so hot, so it was perfect. I did it for 1.5 hours (until my husband picked me up after his work). I felt free and wonderfull. I can't beleive I haven't fell. Now for the next 2 weeks, all the exercise I can do is going for a walk after my daughter goes to bed (I hate leaving her, so as much as possible, when she's awake, I stay with her), but the next 2 weeks she's with me (usualy I get her one week, then she goes to her Dad's for one week)...back on the rollerblading and gym circuit in September!
    Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!!!

    I am currently sitting on my BUTT because one of my lovely "daughters" is on house arrest for 3 weeks. Cool, eh? Not. That means I get to sit at home with her while my husband takes the other girls shopping, out to eat, to youth group, church, etc. Yep, it kinda sucks but at least I have time to do my homework, right? haha I am REALLY hoping that I can post a decent weigh-in on Monday for this challenge! I have been drinking water like crazy to flush all the sodium I had last week so we'll see. Sorry that i'm not on much to interact with you, but if you ever have a minute drop me a note on my profile & i'll get back to you as quick as I can...I really do want to get to know each of you!

    HAVE A MARVELOUS WEEKEND...get out of the house for me, mmk? :)

    Hey everyone!! Sorry I've been AWOL the past few days, I'm finally home from Southern California, where I spent the last two days park hopping between Disneyland and CA Adventure...wayyyy too many miles and hours of walking (my exercise log is probably way lower than it should be). I feel really excited to be back, but a little scared for Monday's weigh-in, since I feel like I'm forgetting to log in food that I ate at Disney. Anyways, I have to be up super early on Monday (need to be at work by 7:30), so tomorrow is my one day of rest from all the crazy running around and driving everywhere...hope everyone's Sundays are awesome!!! (It's currently 12:10am Sunday here)

    p.s. hey percypig, the link you posted wouldn't go, can you repost it? thanks!

    Hey everyone!

    Sorry Mandie, don't want to brag since you're on house arrest but my weekend very unexpectedly turned out to be so cool! Ok so on Friday I had this date thing, guy was really cute and he said I looked hot (yay)... He's a bit too young for me though so it won't go anywhere but hey, it's nice to feel wanted. Grabbed some lunch with a friend on Saturday, walked down the Thames and stopped at a photography exhibition, I felt so grown up! Then a friend called to ask whether I wanted to spend Sunday going out on a rib with him to watch the start of a sailing race. I hadn't been on the water for a long time and had so much fun! I didn't make great food choices today but what the heck, it's one day in 3 weeks and it's been a while since I felt this happy. Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

    Crikee - try removing the dot from the end of the link, that should do the trick.

    Hi all - hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, I had a very busy one and am glad that I am getting in some relax time now before heading off to bed.

    Joni - I am so glad that everything is back to normal there and that you had a fabulous weekend. It is so nice to see you happy again =)

    Alyshe - Love that show, one of the best out there and Betty White is fabulous.

    Mandie - Sorry about the house arrest, that kinda sucks but like you said you can get your homework done this way =)

    crikee - Hello, your adventure sounds wonderful. I heading down there in january and can't wait, it will be my first time. Will send you a friend request.

    Erikasev - Hi, glad you managed to find us. I would think school would be extra hard trying to eat right and everything. We will be here for support when you need it. Will send you a friend request as well.

    Hope you all have a great evening!!

    Happy Monday everyone! Not happy with the results today, scale didn't move unfortunately, although as I haven't been able to exercise as I wanted this week and didn't eat super clean yesterday I guess it's not totally unexpected. I did see the number I want (healthy BMI!) on the scale on Saturday but it didn't stick. Oh well, I will get it next week! Because this time, I am not going to let myself discouraged! This time I am going to reach my goal weight!

    Wow! It looks like you all are doing pretty well. My mom (who also battles her weight) always used to say, "if you lost 2 pounds, that makes you 4 pounds ahead of the game because you're going in the right direction and didn't gain 2".

    My week was pretty much a wash. I gained .2, but I'm an optimist and thinking it's water. :wink: I had two lemon drops over the weekend and I usually don't drink so I'm sticking with that.

    Happy Monday everyone. Hope you all have a great week and stay focused on your goals.

    Hey girls...so sorry I haven't been able to catch up! Weekends are always SUPER hard for me to do much of anything! I will try and be better this week!! :smile: Here are my numbers:

    8/8: 161.8
    8/15: 160.4

    goal for next week is to be 159.0. I'm REALLY going to try and make it to the gym 4 times this week (only made 3 last week) Log better and drink plenty of water!

    Weighed my self yesterday and I lost about a pound. But I lost an inch around the waist! :bigsmile: I'm so glad we're doing this because this weekend was not the best and I dont feel like doing anything but I'm going to. :-P. I hope today gets better.

    Joni glad you had a great time !!! Thats awesome :-D

    p.s. I said I was going to say more about me. well here it is... Im 26 years old a stay at home mom married and live in Vancouver Wa. if you want to know more check out my profile. Have good day ladies.

    Hey ladies! I'm so glad for you guys, losing lbs and inches this week! But...I'm a little discouraged after weighing in this morning, I "gained" about 4 pounds...but I'm hoping and praying that it's either muscle or water weight and bloating (my monthly friend is visiting) because that seems like a lot to gain in less than 2 weeks? On the upside, my legs and arms are smaller (didn't do exact measurements, but I can see more muscle tone and pants & sleeves are fitting better). The school year also started today, so I had to leave for work at 6:40am this morning =( It was an exhausting day trying to fix all of the students' schedules on my caseload, but I'm about to go for a walk and de-stress.

    8/08: 186.2
    8/15: 190.1

    Want to get down to 188.5 next week!!

    Morning ladies!

    !!!!!! I'm still waiting for weigh-in info from erikasev, paulajfranco, alibreasy, sreimer07, Celine and jamadler2 !!!!!! Please can you add your info by the end of the day and I'll post our chart tomorrow morning, if I manage to figure out how to :smile:

    Had a great exercise day yesterday, did kettlebells in the morning and went to boxing class at lunchtime. I actually felt quite sore this morning so had a lie-in! Will go to total body conditioning class at lunchtime though! I feel so much better in my skin for doing classes which mix up strength + cardio rather than just cardio. My skin is definitely more toned and I swear to god I saw a beginning of muscle appearing in my arm this morning!

    Crikee, don't be discouraged, hang in there and your efforts will pay off! I haven't seen the scale moving this last week either but I am so much more comfortable in my clothes so we must be doing something right.

    Congrats to everyone for checking in so far, whether you've had a loss or not, we're still on this website and exercising and eating well which is much better than slouching on the couch in front of the TV with seven bags of crisps!

    Have a great Tuesday!

    Sorry for the delay.... my bad.
    August 8: 266.5 lbs
    August 15: 264 lbs
    So I manage to lose 2.5 lbs in one week. Now I see that I have to do extrem exercise for me to lose weight, cause I never was able to lose 2.5 lbs ever before...even when I was biking home from work every day (and that's a 10 mile bike ride).

    I have an uneventful weekend. My husband played golf with his buddies and my daughter and I spent Saturday at my parents house. Sunday we did pretty much NOTHING.

    Exercise is pretty tricky this week since I have a hour long bus ride to go get my daughter from my parents home, then when I get home, it's time for showers, lunch fixing and bed time. So I realy trying to be careful with my food and next week, when I'll be on vacation, I'll go for my hour long walks at the campground.

    Have a great day everyone!
