    Lysal, can you send the sun to Groton, CT? It is rainy and they are talking about snow tomorrow. :grumble:
    Happy Friday all! Off to work to start my day!

  • Go Team 5!
    Looking forward to getting back on track. 10 down by Christmas seems very doable - just hope I can do it.
  • Alright Team 6 we're off and running! Good luck everyone!!
  • Did my 30 minute walk on my lunch hour, our building I work in is horse shoe shape it is like an indoor track, if I go around the floor 3.5 times it is one mile.. The company I work for (life insurance) is all about healthy people, so when they build this building 10 years ago they install showers and a nature trail as well which is hills and curves behind the build.. No excuse for me not to walk on my lunch other then having to work thru lunch.

    GO TEAM 3!!!

    Eh work is not meant to be fun Angie!!!! :wink: If work is fun you're doing it wrong :laugh:

    :grumble: I want a nature trail :grumble:

    Tell me you don't have ducks?

    We all need to go work for Angie's company. :happy: We could take the spinny chair things on wheels and ring them outside onto the hills and curves and race them up and down. Imagine how many calories that would burn :laugh:

    Well done Angie for fitting in not 15 but 30 :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: thats worth 4 flowers!!!!

  • Argh. Such a bad Saturday. Had a girly evening with too much garlic prawn pizza and Eat Pray Love!
    Definitely needed the naughty night and am remotivated for the week ahead!
    I pray that I don't gain this week.
    I hope everyone else has more restraint than me!
    Good luck!

    Happy gloomy Saturday everyone! Today is my normal rest day. My goal for the day is to drink plenty of water (my weekend down falls) and avoid so much fast food. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Team 8 Great Job at logging in!

    Hey y'all, how often are ya weighing? I've been used to once a day but sometimes I wonder if I should stay off the scales a bit?
  • I was driving myself bonkers when I was weighing in once a day. I'd suggest weighing in once a week on the same day.
  • Hi Guys,

    I don't think I've even introduced myself to everyone yet. So HEY!!!

    I'm also looking to lose a wee bit more than 10 pounds by then but I'll be more than happy with 10. It's just so hard for me to figure out the pounds think.. Cause I work in kg's..

    Anyway.. hope you're all getting on with it and KEEP IT UP!
  • How's everyone feeling this Monday morning? We went out to dinner with some friends last night and I was able to stay "in the green." Woo hoo! Social gatherings are the hardest for me. For some reason I always chow down like it's my last meal when I'm eating out.

    Let's all set a mini goal for today: RESIST, RESIST, RESIST the Halloween Candy. Let's JUST SAY NO to the candy binge!!!!

    How is everyone? Am I the only who's bad on week-end? I guess I have to come to terms with the fact that I have no will. I need tricks, please share!!

    Ended up going for a walk along the Thames yesterday, walked for 90minutes & then finished off the evening playing on the kinect with my housemate. Burnt over 600cals yesterday!

    Good Morning All! My weekend was fun and eventful in many ways. Attended a little Halloween party Friday, no power Saturday (great reason to clean my house), and yesterday I attended my first concert. All the while, my eating was a lot better than it has been in a long time.

    Zaz, I am normally bad on my weekends, especially since I normally eat out a lot. Try making little small goals. I think it is all the free time that I have that is my downfall.
  • I too am bad on weekends. I went out on Saturday ate Halloween candy and definitely splurged at dinner with lots of food and some alcohol. Tried to make up for it by running 4 miles on Sunday. All you can do when you slip is dust yourself off and get back on track.

    I seem to be 'good' on wekends, then lose willpower all week at home! :( I think I take small portions when I am with friends, cause I don't want to eat like a pig...(super-skinny friends who exist on salads)...then come home and splurge all week. :( yuck.
  • I keep thinking it's a 15-by-Christmas goal instead of 10, so hopefully I'll keep thinking that and work extra hard ;-)

    Today's the day I went off track last year and started piling on lbs instead of dropping them. It's Halloween, paired with BF's b-day, plus my desire to cook fall and winter treats jumped up by a million.

    But not this year! I've got to keep my focus and remember the goal. I can't let Team 8 down! GO TEAM 8!

    Hey Guys,
    How you all doing, I am tired today, the clock go back on saturday and I hate Mondays. I do alot of housework on weekends, therefore, I do not drink as much water as I should. Thats my downfall.
    I walk alot, because I do not drive. Now I'm walking up the escalators and using stairs instead of the lifts. I know its hard work to shift those pounds, but God knows I need to.
    I think right now my body is just not shifting the pounds as it use to. Any tips would be great.

    Cheers :wink:
