EGG--CELLENCE For Easter!! (CLOSED GRP)

raindropwishes - thanks for the exercise challenge! After getting back from my trip (where I did tons of exercise), and eating less salty food for a few days (isn't food out so bad!) my weight is down to a new low point! *hoping it stays there till Monday or drops* I think more exercise is a great idea, and I can do it!

dajndae - Thanks for sharing your story! You really give me hope that if I just stick to it, I'll lose. Your achievement is wonderful, congratulations! :flowerforyou:

I visited with a friend recently who was struggling to take care of her family, where there was some illness, and was gaining weight and getting sick herself. It was so easy for me to see that in her case, she was creating a vicious cycle of stress and illness. I was talking with my husband in the kitchen about it, and he was like, 'yeah, just like you do sometimes too'. Gosh, it was suddenly so much clearer to me! I wish tonight that we might all be successful this week, and lose a few pounds by weigh-in, becoming healthier, happier, and less-stressed! :yawn: Okay, I'll try to get back to sleep now!

I have not been exercising this week due to lower back pain.
I have been going for massages and chiropratic appts this week
to feel better and get back at it.
I also have a 3 day skiing weekend coming up on Sunday.
So I am trying to get back in shape for that too.

The weather here is 50 F I may get out and walk today just to
do something.
KRISTEN: I will be giving my weight on Sunday this week due to going
away for three days. Thanks again for all you do since our group has
really expanded.
I will be in touch everyday to log in. :bigsmile:

I lost 2.8 pounds of vacation weight and back to where I was before vacation.
I hope to keep going and i haven't met my mini goals as yet. I am struggling with
lower backache and getting treatments right now. I hope to get some exercise
in next week even if its stretching and walking. :bigsmile:

Good Luck everyone !!

I'm going to weigh in early so i don't forget... 252.2

The psa has kept me in bed and on pain meds for the last couple of days. I think it's improving though, i've been able to cut the pain med dosage in half today which is great because i'm not so groggy. Hoping tomorrow i'll be up and moving normally again but likely won't attempt the treadmill for a few more days. So i'm not sure how i'll do in the challenge next week.... as long as i don't head in an upward direction i'll be happy!

Hope everyone has an awesome weigh-in this week. :drinker:

Shirley61 – wow! Nice loss!! Congratulations!

Julidav – congrats on a nice loss this week!

Kristin – congratulations on losing again. Really pleased increasing cals & exercise worked for you

I’ve had a weird week and didn’t hit my exercise goal – I just feel so demotivated and I think that showed at my weigh-in. I can't help but feel slightly disappointed but at least I have finally managed to scrape my way into one-derland!

Raindropwishes...Congrats on getting into Onederland!!! That is great.

My weigh in is in the morning. I have been sick and my weigh was up a little today....hope that changes for the morning. I did get a strength training class in today and I had a private yoga student so it felt good to move again!!

I don't expect to see any changes for weigh in tomorrow as it's still my TOM and I just came back from a big dim sum dinner so i'm sure my sodium is out of this world tonight. Just letting you know you can use my weight from last week cause this one will be a write off. Hope everyone is enjoying what's left of their weekend and good luck tomorrow!!

Raindropwishes - Congratulations on moving into Onederland!!

After last week, I was thinking I'd stay the same or gain, so this was a great surprise! I added the sodium column on my nutrition and WOW! I never realized how much I was consuming! It seems that Mon-Thurs I do fine and then Fri-Sun I go over by a lot. I read on a few boards that sodium is healthy and not something to really focus on but I don't think going over 2500 mg can be healthy! This is something I'm working on, as well as making better choices this week because my brother will be in town and I'm sure we will go out a lot! Hope everyone has a great week! :happy:
