    Ok so (as always) I haven’t hit my target weight for the 6weeks (although I do technically have till the end of the week non? So I may get a little closer! Might weigh in Friday morning for my own satisfaction!) I actually REALLY REALLY do need to do it for the next 6 weeks as I am going wedding dress shopping and I have another wedding (what is it with all these weddings!?) at the end of September and another in October.

    The September one, the people there won’t have seen me since April so I would quite like to get down to 145lbs for that and see what they say  I’m not sure what I weighed in April. I’ll look back over the challeneges and see.

    Good luck everyone for this week!

    Lula – your PB cakes – I did that with an orange cake recipe and varied it a bit by including more orange and introducing some chocolate and putting put bitter chocolate on the top. Its now like a Jaffa Cake! Do you have jaffa cakes in America?! Anyway it’s a good cake……… but not so slimming 

    Good morning!

    Well...I am down 1.5 pounds this week, still up 1 pound from starting weight. Oh well. Had a good workout last night. Hoping for the same tonight. Too hot to run though.

    Have a great day!

    OK - so I'm up a little, but TOM just came. Hopefully next week I will see more of a loss. I saw a friend this past weekend that I haven't seen in probably a year, and she has lost 60 pounds and looks amazing. She has done it all since Feb. I'm now motivated again to try and lose what I can. I'm just going to have to tell my foot not to hurt and get my butt moving again! :)

    Congrats to Clare and Em on your weight losses! Hope to join you both soon.

    Cathy and Kristin, we need to band together and get our butts moving this final week. We can do this!!!!

    Afternoon Sixers.

    I am glad that I finally lost all I gained during the challenge plus 0.8 lbs... but now I need to get back on track if I want to make my New Year's goal of 135! The wedding was a blast, my dress fit (actually it was sort of loose) - can't complain... the pics I have seen so far are nice... although I haven't lost all that much weight the inches are starting to come off and that is making a huge difference!!!

    Kim. Keep it up, next week, once you have kicked TOM to the curb you should see a nice loss!!! Keep up the walking!

    Kristin. Nice work - lets push hard this week!

    Cathy. Let's do this!!!! I know you can... drink your water and get moving and next week will be better!!!!

    morning...

    real quick for me. not running, just running to sons, he PASSED inspection, power to be turned on today. he said he would be out today or tomorrow. this was his dead line. so helping him get settled and put in a new door. have girls for the rest of the week. walking up to the school to get them. zumba tonight. so i think it will be ok, i don't run.

    do any of you remember amyls from bahamas? i messaged her last night. she is getting hit by irene this afternoo. she said they were ready, had supplies and battened down. my prayers are with her and her family. we are missing it. Thank you Lord.

    off and running.

    Not much change for me. We have had some pretty humid weather. We hit the 90's for the FIRST time this summer, last weekend. My poor body was used to the milder temps. My feet are twice their size right now. Started my meds to fix it but wont see any results until the 2nd full day. I would like to fit in my running shoes. Oh well.

    We are packed and ready to go camping. We are going to the San Juan Islands in WA up towards the Canadian border. They are in the Puget Sound. I am excited. I have not been there since I was a little girl. Good memories though.

    So on that note, have a great weekend Sixers and I will talk to you all on Sunday.

    Hey Ladies. Good morning. Last night I did OK, I stayed within my calories but didn't make the healthiest of choices... I'm drinking a TON of water today... I need to try and flush out all the sodium... oh so much of it... and I wonder why I always feel like a cream puff...

    Amy - Have a great trip! sounds like so much fun!!!!

    Cathy - Congrats, you are going to have the house to yourselves again (congrats to your son too... a new place!!!) Hoping for the best for Amy. I don't think we will get much from the hurricane, just some nice surf and the typical thunderstorms / wind / rain.... hopefully!

    Well, so far, (about 2 weeks now) I have been staying focused and on track in terms of my life style change.... it is nice to see the scale move in the right direction. Hoping for 168 next Tuesday!

    Although I'll take the 1 lb loss, I know a lot of it is because I hadn't really eaten in two days due to a migraine, which I finally went to the doctor for. That will teach me to play in the ocean like I'm 12 instead of 36. Had a bad tumble on Sunday and muscle tension and injury caused massive migraine. But hopefully I'm on the upswing. Just need to control my eating. This maintenance things seems even harder than losing weight. Hoping I can get back to exercising today. I really miss it.

    Good Morning Sixers! Last night I did OK. I really need to get a handle on the late night snacking... BUT I am still heading in the right direction. Friends are coming over tonight, so there will be drinks, and food - but I plan to get in some cardio to balance everything out...

    I have been weighing in every morning, just to see how the scale moves... @ 171.2 lbs for the last two days... thinking 169 is possible for tuesday - I seem to stick @ one weight for 3 days or so then it jumps down (if I stay on track).... we'll see.

    Cathy - I LOVEEE your motivation! How is your foot feeling? Didn't you hurt it?
    Clare - Have a great weekend - see you @ weigh in!!!
    Lorna - Take the loss... :bigsmile: but seriously, take it easy... stay hydrated and relax!

    cathy - my good friend is moving there... was suppose to have left yesturday... he is waiting it out, and will hopefully leave next week... that is if there is not too much damage @ his job / new home... what a welcoming.

    glad your foot is OK. I used this stuff that looked like deoderant on my feet when I ran a lot... helped with blisters etc... I wish I remembered the name... the stuff worked miracles...!

    off to grab some lunch! I really need to get groceries... this eating out has to end!

    em....better before than after...
    my foot, he wasn't sure if it was a pressure blister or a wart. looked somewhat like both. that's why he sent it off to see exactly so we can treat from there.

    off to get the girls, can't decided to walk or drive. looks like rain. will have to check

    Whoo hoo! The kids went back to school today! That means more regular exercise for me! DH and I walked them to school this morning. Planning on walking them to school tomorrow as well as walking home.

    This is absolutely terrible! I have an AWFUL start to this pregnancy. I'm 18 weeks today and have already gained over 20 pounds! :sad:

    This is just me being really upset, because I KNOW you have to gain weight with a pregnancy, but I VOWED to myself I wouldn't get so out of control with the second one. I vowed to eat healthy and to exercise. If I did that, I promised myself I wouldn't fret over the weight gain, because at least I would be healthy.

    I have done the opposite. I eat horrible, I don't exercise. I HAVE to turn this around. I have to be healthy for this little one growing inside me, and I HAVE to slow this down.

    A friend of mine commented that of course I'm going to go crazy in the first few months, because I've been counting calories and losing weight since having my little boy almost 2 years ago, and so given the chance, I just went crazy since I didn't have to be so strict with myself. But this is really ridiculous and out of control.

    By the end of my first pregnancy, I remember it being so hard just to WALK up the stairs. I really did not want that to happen with my second one, and I feel like I'm on the path.

    I need to turn myself around!!

    Thanks for letting me get it all out. I feel like I've been secretly watching myself behave this way, but by writing it out I'm going to make myself accountable. I am going out for dinner with some ladies from church tonight, so keep me in mind. I NEED to make a healthy choice! I HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE!!! :smile:

    good morning....

    julia...you will be fine. don't stress over it, that will cause more weight gain. your having a baby be calm.
    amypyr....yea for school days. my grands have been back for almost 2 weeks already. i have them this week and monday next, the other grandma went out of town.

    ok, son asked us at dinner last night if he could stay until his next paycheck, (6th). we asked why, he has no food money. now he will save money by living 5 minutes from work, (now he is at least 20). he forgot to pay a bill and that will leave him with just gas money. so we said we would buy him food to get him through and he leaves sunday. he gets a fridge on sat. it will be running on sunday for his milk and that. we figure either way we would be feeding him. this way saves him money and gets him out. i know some may think we are mean about wanting him out. he is 30 1/2 it's about time he live on his own. we have been enablers we know that. he has it good living at home. we are buckling down now. it's get going time.
    so monday i will be cleaning an empty room. so excited.

    well off until later
