    no change here- not really sure why, I am exercising like crazy and eating well- staying within calorie range and leaving just few at the end of the day. I guess it's not too bad, I am maintaining and it's summer after all. Good Luck to you all!!!

    GO Canada GO!!!

    YAY!!! Finally the plateau is broken!!!! I have been fighting within a few pounds for the past few weeks and today finally I am down!! 193.4. So 45 gone and 34 to go. It's just nice to see a loss again. I hate the feeling of knowing you are working so hard and nothing is happening, so I totally changed up my percentages and it seems to be working again.

    So as discouraging as a plateau can be, just hang in there and it will get better!!

    Happy day :flowerforyou:

    Morning All!

    No change for me this week either... seems to be a week of staying the same. I'm perfectly happy with this as my exercising has been virtually non-existant this past week. Hoping to maintain this next week too as I've been given strict orders from my doctor to "take it easy for 2 weeks." :tongue:

    Everything should be back to normal after the 17th!

    Have a great week everyone!! :flowerforyou:

    Last week was not a good week for me. :cry: No real change, but I'm putting together a new workout program for myself and hopefully that will start to work. I would like to be close to my goal weight by this time next year for my friends wedding, something for me to keep motivated for. :flowerforyou: see you next week!

    Hey all canucks.

    Well it seems I have a pattern going on, gain some one week, lose more the next week.
    As long as I lose more than I gained i'm ok.
    Last week 206.
    This week 207.

    Looks like I have the same result as a few others - no changes! Exactly the same. I know I was down a bit on the weekend but it might have been the work BBQ I went to lastnight.... this will be a better week I can feel it!

    Weigh In for me today: 147.1 lbs. down a bit. I seem to be staying around the same numbers, but then I havent really been exercising all that much either . . . sounds the same for others, so I propose an exercise challenge this week . . . any ideas?
    I will post the winner of the water challenge in a few . . . :drinker:

    I know this is a hard struggle, but everyone just keep your thoughts positive and keep working hard!!!!
    Go Team Canada!!!:flowerforyou:

    So the Water Challenge from last week had 6 participants: mxburke, healthymom2009, loathesome, tttthumper, freezeframe and myself.
    I am awarding the challenge to freezeframe!!!! Congrats!:flowerforyou: :bigsmile:
    There was a close second place by tttthumper. :happy:
    Way to go Canadians!!!:flowerforyou: :drinker: :drinker:
    You two were the most consistant in your drinking patterns and reached your goal daily, however the amount of water freezeframe was drinking, you'd think she was a camel. :laugh:
    Special mentions to mxburke!!! Awesome job!!!:flowerforyou:

    Thanks to all that participated!!!:bigsmile: Keep up the drinking!!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Cheers!

    Wow! Jay_83, i was thinking the exact same for an exercise challenge, i was thinking whoever can have the most exercise time for the week would win. with exercise lasting atleast 10 minutes per session. So no exercises under 10 minutes could be logged in, just to make it fair. Anyhow, so everyday post either how much of each exercise you did, or just a total exercise time for all the exercises you did in the day, and at the end of the week, whoever logged in the most time exercising will win! let me know if you have any questions.

    Don't forget, every little bit counts, aslong as it lasts ten minutes, so go ahead and log in anything from the gym, to simply walking your dog, anything 10 minutes or over!!!!

    Good luck Canadians!!!

    Ok, I am not a camel, I just don't drink anything else but water, so that challenge was easy for me. As for the exercise challenge sounds like Loathesome is planning on winning this one!!! Game on everyone, lets get our butts moving!!!

    I'm excited to be back!!! I went to the cabin for almost two weeks, and with no internet, I was worried about my calories.....thank goodness I have learned some self control! Not that I used too much of it, I was on holidays!!! But I'm happy to note that I didn't lose or gain a single pound!!! That bag of licorice on the car ride home had me a little worried!

    I'm up for the challenge! First day back and did 75 minutes of speed walking with the double stroller and baby in the carrier!!! Felt great, could have done it without the rain and hail for the last 10 minutes though!!!

    Okay :happy: Glad that everyone is as excited as I am for this challenge, as for myself:

    Wednesday: I did 80 minutes of walking (to go to work: 40 minutes each way) and then did a 55 minute weight lifting class at goodlife!

    Good job Jackyl!! Congrats

    Exercise for yesterday 90 minute power walk with my hubby, who hates to walk, so I was very excited when he came with me. I was supposed to do a P90X workout when I came home, but while we were on our way home in the dark, no sidewalks I tripped on a big rock and fell and drove a big piece of asphalt into my leg. Ouchy and bloody and still had to walk another 1K before we got home. So that ended my workouts for yesterday.::sad:
