    Ok, sorry I was MIA last week. I see we have some new ladies in the group. Welcome!! :D I am not counting my weight from Sunday because I went out with my sister for her 21st on Saturday and had Mexican and lots of alcohol. Plus we celebrated my nephews bday that afternoon with pizza and cake...yeah, I was definitely up! lol. I am doing a scale diet all week and going to weigh again next Sunday and then I'll update you on the true damage of my (way too many) cheat days...

    Goal for this week is to stay under the whole week and get at least 12 cups of water a day while shooting for 14-16! Hope everyone has a great week!!! And great job to everyone on their losses. I will take my measurements this evening and post those later. :)

    Jess- Awesome that you are almost out of the obese category. I'm sure that will feel amazing!!!

    Tara- Great job on the loss! Seems like the zig zagging is working for you! :D

    Hoping this week to replace my breads with fruits and veggies, and to do some exercise while watching TV so I don't end up a vegetable. Wish me luck! :)

    So I was wondering how everyone else is fairing this week. Out of the 5 activities I had planned I have done 2, so on track so far in that area. Water intake I am coming up a bit short everyday yet, so I need to do better there. As for my 8 hours of sleep that has not happened at all. I still have not adjusted to working and school. That has to get better as well or the weight loss will not happen.

    So... I have some work to do yet. :blushing: How have you been doing? :huh:

    It's been hit and miss with me so far.

    I've done well with some kind of workout each day and with tracking my calories (although I haven't stayed under all days). I'm still struggling with sugar, which is so hard for me since we have desserts in the house for the kids and I find myself sneaking a little here and there. Grr. My water's coming up short, too, but we've been at so many doctor's appointments this week that I just forget about it. I do much better with H2O if I'm having our regular at home routine.

    you are a work in progress...it will get easier, and it will happen for you...just keep on with it!!! Great work so far! and an easy way to UP your water intake...drink 1 cup before, 1 cup during, and 1 cup after each meal...it adds up quick that way! :happy:

    AFM-I have followed my exercise, and diet plan to -the -tee for the week...and my normal WI is tomorrow after I get up...so I am really hoping for the best!!! *fingers crossed*
