    Did not do good this weekend but did not do awful either. Still have not gotten a workout in since last Monday but I am trying to stay positive. Will make healthy choices today and try to get back on the workout train today if I am feeling better. Did not even get on the scale today, because aunt flo will stop by for her visiti this week.:grumble:

    Hope you all had a great weekend :flowerforyou:
    and are starting to see the results you are looking for.

    Forgot to mention I saw a pix taken of me about two months back, I found new motivation in that picture to keep on the good path I am on.

    I had a very busy weekend, and although I never made it to the gym, I did some gardening, and was on my feet walking for 8 hrs straight on Saturday so I think I am going to count that as a workout.

    I haven't lost anything in a few weeks. I am starting to wonder if I need to mix things up a bit. I have been bouncing up and down 2-3 lbs, but I haven't gone below 193.5 for 3 weeks. I am going to cut out all soda this week, and try to get a workout in every day, and hopefully that will help me get over this bump in the road.

    I hope you all have a great Monday!

    good morning!! :flowerforyou:

    i had an overall pretty healthy weekend. didn't make the greatest food choices, but made up for them in exercise and stayed w/in my calories.

    the scale was up a lb this morning, but that is expected because it's still TOM for me. i'll probably weigh in again around thursday before i change my ticker.

    i got in 2 good workouts this weekend, and plan on hitting the elliptical tonight for awhile. then pilates tomorrow! :love:

    let's kick off another healthy week! :drinker: :drinker:

    Well, TOM finally came for a visit but that didn't deter me!! I stepped on the scale this morning and it read 300, so yay I hit the 30 pound mark, well I had to potty so I stepped on the scale again when I was done and it read 299!! I stepped off and back on, 299 again!! I not only hit the 30 pound mark but I passed it by one pound!!
    I've been hungry lately (thanks TOM) but I exercised a bit on Friday and then played a rousing game of Wiffle-Ball on Saturday. Didn't do much Sunday but watched my calories and sodium intake religiously!
    Good going everyone and good luck, today starts a new week!! :heart: :drinker: :heart:

    I did pretty well this weekend. Stayed within my cals, and got a good work out in on Saturday. I'm down a lb from last week, and I've gotten 5 days of exercise in so far this challenge.

    I have been just AWFUL lateyly, I'm talking double cheeseburger and fries awful!!!
    But I went shopping this weekend I am back on track. For breakfast this morning I had the banana split from the biggest loser cookbook. It was sooooooooooo good. They have some really good recipes in there. I will be doing jazzercise hopefully 4 days this week. So, I am basically back to square one but I am not giving up!

    I am so proud of all of you ladies for your hard work and determination! Keep it up!

    One week and I already love this challenge!!! Had a good productive week of exercise and an even more sweat producing weekend of spring cleaning. Ate healthy all week and this morning when I stepped on the scales I was down 2.2 lbs. :love: :love: :love: I can't even belive it! My best week since being on MFP!! I'm praying for another good week just like it. Good luck to you all..........

    I had a really good weekend. I went and helped a friend do major housework this saturday. We cleaned for 8.5 hours. That's a lot of calories burned. Wen't for my 3.5 mile daily walk Sunday. I lost 4 lbs this past week giving me a total of 50 lbs lost!!!

    I went shopping yesterday. I have gone from a size 28 to a 22. I hate clothes shopping but yesterday felt great!

    Glad to hear everyone had enjoyable weekends, regardless of any potential haphazards! :happy:

    I didn't make it to the gym at all - don't know what that was about but I just wasn't in the mood. :grumble: Going tonight striaght from work...assuming I don't fall asleep from boredom. :ohwell: Anyway...got a serious case of the monday's today!

    I did get my bridesmaid dress on Friday afternoon - and I realize that when most people say "I'm planning to lose weight before the wedding" that they usually DON'T Follow through - so yes, usually they go ahead and order the size dress they were fitted for at the time of ordering the dress. Well, I am finally serious about this aspect of my life and what happened now - I've lost another 15 lbs since I ordered the dress - making it 2 SIZES TOO BIG! :blushing: Now, while this is sort of a joyous occassion, I'm still a little peeved with them as I told them to at least go a size down - I mean, the dress just WONT stay on me how it is. I HAVE to get it altered. Is this their plan to make me spend even more money? UGH, it's ridiculious! :angry: *sigh* alright, I'm finished with that now.

    Hope everyone is having a much more productive and interesting Monday morning than I! Check in with you lovely ladies later on today. :flowerforyou:

    Had an ok weekend. Not the greatest food choices, but did alright. I didn't feel very good this morning, so I didn't weigh. I'll do that tomorrow. 1 week down ladies (I think). Keep up the hard work! :)
