    Welcome to all the newbies and welcome back to all the veterans. I have been so busy since my surgery I have had no time for me. I gained 9lbs since the surgery and am now back down to 6. I'm not real happy about it but it could have been worse since I haven't worked out one day!! My goal is to get myself back on track and logging daily again. I have to start putting myself before everyone else again. Thats the only way to make this work. Even though I will say 106 isn't all that bad I'm just much happier at 100. I hope you guys have a great day!!!

    Monday was my first weigh-in after being back on MFP and I'd lost 3lbs! It's my first weight loss in 10 years so mostly water weight (Oktoberfest beer weight?) but it was sooooo great to see the scales moving in the other direction for a change. I'm now really motivated and confident about losing more in November.

    MiniSumo - Congratulations! Good luck going for the next 6

    Other then roasted something and soup what can you make with a pumkin, carrots, a sweet potato, yam, a butternut and acorn squash? Other then ground chicken this is what I have in my cupboard right now. I have no idea whats for dinner. I wonder how the squashes would taste sauted like fried potatoes ... but with half the oil?
    I have found fatal diet flaw.:noway: If it is a free lunch you eat it. I got a roast beef sandwhich at lunch today instead of what I had planned on because the sandwhich was free and it means I now have a frozen lunch for Monday; but I have no ides awat was on the sandwich other then roast beef. Well it's 5 o'clock and time for me to race the rest of the city home.

    Congrats on the 5 lbs! I am only on day 3 of Ripped in 30, so hoping to make it to the end and also mixing in some additional cardio.

    Some days are good, i keep calories in check-get some exercise and i feel great. Other times I am really worried that I wont be able to do it. I am halfway to my thanksgiving goal and doing everything i can to keep on track,; I'm on MFP everyday and trying to blog or reach out to someone everyday, it keeps me accountable (how can I offer encouragement to someone without trying to live it).

    Hi. I am 5'3" and would love to join the group! I lost 12 lbs fairly easily but the last 5 are being stubborn. I just bought Accu Measure Calipers to measure fat loss. The scale has stayed the same for an entire month. I've been exercising faithfully and just want to see if all my hard work is paying off or if I am at a true plateau. I'lI let you know what I find. I've read that especially for women, the scale does not accurately measure progress. So we'll see what two progress measuring techniques do for me.

    Hi all, I am 4'9" and so glad to have found this board. My husband and I are going on a cruise in January. Currently weigh 127 and want to be at 115 on Dec 31st (that is our departure date!). Need lots of support.

    Thanks for the support ladies. I haven't kept a food diary this wk and while I haven't gained, I haven't lost either. I will hop back on the wagon again this wknd charting my diet. I feel like I will have to do this my entire life. Overall though, I feel like I'm making better food choices.

    Hi Danaw, I am so jealous - a cruise in January sounds awesome. Good luck with the program - you can do this!

    I agree with you, I find as soon as you stop tracking your food the weight just start to come back on. Keep logging - it works.

    Hey everyone! Hope you all had a good week and are ready for the weekend?

    I'm having a Twilight-fest this weekend with my sister, watching all three films ready for the release of Breaking Dawn in a couple of weeks!!!! Plus today is my 'relaxed' eating day, so we're having a chinese meal whilst we drool over Edward & Jacob :wink:

    Have a fab weekend all :drinker:

    :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: my hubby had to get up at 3:30 this morning to drive to the city for a meeting so I walked the frisky poodles for an hour in the dark so he'd have a quiet house for meditation, then after he left, I walked them for another hour in some almost daylight so we could walk in the fields which the dogs love so by 8 AM I'd walked for over two hours and had almost 16,000 steps on my pedometer. The rest of the day will be sedentary because I have cooking to do and my friend who's visiting from two states south of here says it's too cold for her and she doesn't want to go outside.

    I ran up to the gym (it's about 1.5 miles from home) and lifted weights for just a little bit and ran home. Beautiful weather here today, sunny and ended up getting into the 50's, although it was colder when I ran. Enjoyed a nice visit with hubby's parents and grandma (she's 97) and then a nice dinner out with my hubby. Planning to enjoy the extra hour of sleep tonight and get in a longer run in the morning. Thinking 7-8 miles... we'll see how early I get up and how light it is.

    Oh, and I'm re-reading the Twilight books in prep for the movie release... I'm on #3... I should have them done before the big day!!!! Yes, I'm a Twi-Mom and proud of it!!!!

    Enjoy your weekends!!!!!

    Annita – Sweet potato fries are fantastic! I am a believer that pumpkin is an under eaten fruit: pies, puddings and pumpkin cookies come to mind. Free food gets me too. Our budget is so tight that if some one offers me a free lunch at work I take it and save what I brought for the next day. Or, sometimes I save what I got for free, so I can work in the calories better.

    Welcome Guerita83 – Congratulations on the 5 pound loss! That is fantastic.

    Godblessourhome – What are you shoveling? You’re the only other person I have seen use that besides myself. I live where it snows and I have horses, so you can guess what I shovel.

    TSTagain – I am sure your commitment will bring you success in reaching your Thanksgiving goal.

    Welcome lyddsmom and danaw_ern – I look forward to getting to know you both better. There is a lot of support here.

    AnitaMcKenna – We are doing the same thing here! I can’t wait for Breaking Dawn to get here. We will go see it the opening weekend if we can. Don’t be afraid to talk about it when you see it. I read all the books.

    Barbie – You are amazing. I bet the poodles weren’t so frisky after those walks.

    Nikstergirl – First I admire you running to the gym and back. Second – welcome to another Twilight fan. I read the books to see what my kids were reading and ended up finishing first.

    As for me………..
    I am hanging in there. The stress at home is amazing, but it appears my luck/fate may have changed. I won an iPad2 in a drawing. I got if Friday and I am not sure who likes it more my kiddos or myself. It will be great to bring on road trips. It is the base model, but we can preload it with a movie, games and music. It should help with long road trips skiing and vacations.

    I think my weight is still the same. I will weigh in next Wednesday. The stress is either making it hard to eat at all or hard to eat the right things.

    Happy Sunday all and good luck with Monday.

    Jeannie

    Jeannie... Congrats on the iPad!!! My son has one (it's school-issued) and he loves it. I have one at work that we won but don't use it much, but they are really cool!!! If I could afford it I'd have one, that or a Nook color so I can read more books when I travel. Since hubby's a OTR driver, we rarely go anywhere... but I'm heading to Vegas soon. Would be nice to have an e-reader, but it won't happen this trip.

    Can you believe I'm watching the NYC marathon on tv???? Nope, me either... but I am! So inspirational to this runner! Maybe next fall I'll go for my first marathon... I'm seriously thinking I can by then!!!

    Enjoy your Sunday!

    we shoveled the driveway, one deck and the sidewalks (front and back). :)
