good morning Ravenclaw, happy tuesday!! i've been out of sorts recently-husband in hospital, i've been nursing an ankle injury, and sick on top of it all. every morning i get up saying to myself "this is the day i get back on track". well, today IS THE DAY!!! completed my log and was under yesterday for the first time in quite awhile.

to our newest housemates terri and missklara-welcome to the best house ever!! on the days when i haven't felt like sharing, i still check in to see what everyone is up too. nice to see so much acitvity again!!

bethany and sami-people can be mean and hurtful...period!! it's hard to let it go, but we need to put ourselves first and have confidence in what we are doing. they don't matter!!! meaness need to be given the attention it deserves...NONE!!! you are both doing great and as long as you know it, nothing else matters!! bethany, hope the joints a feeling better soon and you can get back to your workouts!!

sue be sure you are taking care of yourself with your busy schedule!!

gwen-welcome back. glad you had some good relaxation!!

ashley-you are so right-don't let it get to you!! sometimes it takes a little while of being in the routine to see results. don't forget your water!!

to everyone showing losses this week, CONGRATS!!! hope to be joining your ranks next week!!

hoping to get some sort of exercise in today, even if it's a short walk after work, it's supposed to be a nice day here today-maybe some fresh air!!

hope everyone has a great day, and thanks for still being here for me. :flowerforyou:

Hi Rose and welcome.

Ok - got to the gym this morning at work and then drove home to work from home :laugh: . Partners car is in the shop so I have to be home to drive her and the kids around. But I didn't want to miss my gym time. 40 minutes cardio but I skipped weights just for today.

Shooting to lose 5 in February.

good day yesterday, working on a repeat today.

Awesome job this week everyone! I wish I had time to comment individually, but I'm rushing a bit this morning.

Numbers are being reported tonight, so if you have any pieces of information that need to be filled in, let me know.

Mostly we're just missing some house point entries. Missklara and tboothgenthe, if you happen to know how many exercise minutes you had last week, let me know. We'll get those entered. Otherwise, we have to update it as a 0, so I just wanted to check before we finalize everything.

Have a great Tuesday, everyone!

Yay it's Wednesday! Wait, what?? It's TUESDAY??? GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

I was interested in getting one of those Fitbit things. I know someone on here has it. Is it worth the dough? What exactly does it tell you?

Yesterday I got to go home 2 hours early, so instead of an 11-hour day I had a 9-hr day. Progress! If it keeps up, I'll be able to hit a zumba class on Wednesday night. Woot!

Hi everyone I am new. My name is Michelle and I have twin 3 year olds.

my current weight is 190.4 and my goal is 186.4 for the end of the month.

good morning Ravenclaw and happy wednesday (yes, korkster-it really is wednesday now)!! got a short walk/run in with the dog last night. i had hoped for a bike ride as it was a beautiful day here but by the time i got home it was too dark so had to settle for a walk. (on the up side, Zoey really enjoyed herself!! :laugh: )

welcome to puff and mommyof twins!!

sue-i came home to 2 people requesting Wendy's for dinner "since you have to go to the store anyway"!! now my car smells like french fries-happy to say i had my whole wheat pasta and not Wendy's. although, i have to say, on the rare occasion someone else here cooks, it isn't at all healthy!!

gotta get moving. likely gonna be a late day at work so not too sure about a workout tonight.

hope everyone has a great hump day!! :bigsmile:

right previous post was me in HoH mode, now I'm in just me mode...

Why, why, why do I sabotage myself?! Last week, Tuesday and Wednesday were really bad days for food and exercise. I knew Tues and Wed this week were going to be the same food wise, so did I do anything about it? NO OF COURSE NOT! So have been eating junk all day, am now hungry because I haven't had anything substantial (but I did have THREE starbucks coffees, really necessary...!) but I'm already well over my calories despite just doing an hours hardcore exercise to try and earn some back (also not a healthy mind set- exercising to earn food?! really healthy mentality!!)

I hope you guys are doing better than me, am going to bed now to sulk...

First of all, I just wanted to say congratulations for such an AMAZING week to end the month! We ended with a weight loss percentage in Week Four of 0.767%, which is a huge improvement from last week! We also hit our goal of breaking the 200 mark with our HPs, yay!

Congrats to all of those who achieved losses this week: azsuzi, bethanyweathers, blackhawkgirl91, cenedria235, emmie_rene, karinane, korkster, lottee1000, mish3131, twiFan5, WhatsEatingYou, and me. :drinker:

Also, congrats to our Quidditch All-Star of the Week for the highest % of weight loss: bethanyweathers, with a % lost of 1.85% (woohoo!)

For our January Quidditch Captain with the overall highest % of weight lost for the month, technically our winner would have been lottee1000 with an impressive 4.65% weight loss during the month. But since she's already HoH, our official winner is our newcomer mish3131 with an awesome 2.88% loss! Congratulations! :flowerforyou:

I really wish we could still use the badges in our signature because I would love for you to be able to show off your success, but does anyone have any other ideas for how we can celebrate those? Would love to hear it!
