    I can't weigh in yet this week. Our friendly competition at work is over and so there is no more scale here - I need to go buy a new one! But... I can say that my jeans fit better (put them on yesterday and was pleasantly surprised!). I'll post my weight loss (how's that for optimism) as soon as I go out and buy a scale!

    Congrats on everyone's weight loss and maintaining!

    Jen

    ps: Resa & Pepa - love the new pics!

    I am proud of my daughter :smooched: :bigsmile: and I want to thank all of you for being there :flowerforyou: .

    I lost nothing this week.:cry: I know I should be happy that I haven't gained but it's not easy for me to see that dial on the scale not budging at all. :grumble: I'm really being good, none of my bad habits have resurfaced yet, no bad food snacking, eating good protein, little if any cheese, except for cottage cheese.

    I have been eating three healthy meals a day and excercising too, cardio and weight training. The :devil: in me is whispering to cut back on the carbs, even though they are all whole grain. I've been drinking lots too. I'm wondering if I just can't handle 1,200 calories. I'm wondering what the heck is going on here?:sad:

    Ri, this takes slow and steady to a whole 'nother dimension..LOL

    As for all...123 lbs is huge..I'm glad everyone is doing so well, and at least I haven't gained anything..I hope next week things are different for me. Thanks y'all


    Don't lose heart!!! I know that we will continue to do well, and that includes you!!! Maybe you're not eating enough calories... Try adding in a snack or two, and see if that helps...

    123 lbs is a huge accomplishment in only a few months :drinker:

    So now with Lucky's the total is 125!!!!
    To answer the question, I just took all the posts and added them together. Some people started the site before the group, so I just began counting when the group started.

    Resa -- when you said I juggle kids, house, hubby and animals, let's just clarify that. I'm not nearly the super-woman you make it sound. Kids is only one, and she takes good naps.:laugh: So we get quite a bit of work done during those times, and if necessary the neighbor sits for a while. Sometimes she comes with us to check cows, she likes car rides anyway. House? Well I'll admit, I haven't been up on things like I was, the dishes might have to sit for a day or 2 (no dishwasher), but we're using mostly paper plates anyway. The laundry is a grab and go kind of thing. I have a few baskets that need to be folded, but let's face it, I've always hated that. :laugh: Hubby? whatever. :laugh: :laugh: And well, we know the story on the animals.:wink: The next few days will be busy. We haven't been able to tag calves in a few days (can't in cold weather cuz it messes up their ears, hurts, and doesn't heal right) so now we have something like 30 to do all at once!:noway:
    I haven't been able to make myself make time to exercise, so I try to get all the physical activity I can in throughout the day. Today I helped wrestle a 500+ lbs. tractor tire back on:grumble: . Then I loaded 50 lbs. mineral onto the truck and helped unload 250 lbs. feeder tubs. I try to make an effort and jog to gates instead of walk , or jog to the barn instead of taking the 4 wheeler. I feel like it's enough to at least maintain, so far it's worked, I guess we'll see.:wink:
    Jen -- the friendly competition at work, how did you do in it?

    Good morning, Ari!!! You must have sent some of your weather my way, because I woke up this morning, and it's chilly and SNOWING!!! Take it back, I want it to be warm!!! Tee-hee.:bigsmile:

    Yesterday it was in the 40's here, which is like t-shirt and flip flop weather for us Alaskans... Everything was melting and the roads were all clear. I think that mother nature is bi-polar... But maybe menapausal, too.:laugh:

    It's warm for being March :laugh: . Hopefully it wont be too windy because I will be outside all day in the parade and what not :huh:

    I wont be having pizza, cuz I am making sure to pack healthy low low cal snacks because it is pretty much a huge drinking fest. I am hoping all the dancing and walking around will get rid of some calories though :drinker:

    I will definitely try to take some pictures, they dye the river green! :sick:

    Hey Everyone......It's good to find ya'll again. I looked int he recent posts earlier today and couldn't find you. We have had FDIC auditors at our bank the past two weeks and work has been CRAZY! In the banking world their word is law so we have been trying to keep them happy! Anyway, the weight loss thing at work is going good. I was down about 1.5 lbs. Not great, but considering I didnt work out last week I'll take it. I know I haven't been posting like I should, but twith the move coming up in two weeks and we had a puppy that just had surgery it's been crazy trying to get everything taken care of. On top of that My father in law is getting deployed for another tour in Afganastan next week so we've been with them more. Needless to say it sounds like all of us have been busy! Evrryone stay strong and don't eat the junk food like the Black team did on Biggest Loser Tuesday!!!
