    Hi All~
    Had a salad with grilled chicken for lunch, snacked on 1 Cup of trail mix this afternoon, and dinner is a hamburger patty and gaspachio.
    I am very excited for this group, can't wait for next Wed to see how we all did this week.

    Good morning, as well!

    Had another very rushed morning! I think I am going to have to buy a new alarm clock, as apparently the one I have is broken! So, with only 20 minutes to shower, dress and get ready for work, I had to get another bagel from timmie's on the drive to work. Oh well, it will be ok as long as I keep a good eye on everything I eat today!

    Have a happy one everyone! :smile: :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    Welcome everyone.

    Just change the dates for Monday weigh-ins.

    It was a cold windy morning here and I almost talked myself out of my morning walk, but then I decided to do a short one but once I got out there and got moving I got in a 3 mile walk before it was time to head home and start working.

    Don't let the weekend interfere with the healthy eating and exercise! (Weekends have been my enemy for diet and weight loss.)

    Keep thinking thin by Christmas!

    Weekends are my downfall too. My uncle is coming into town from New York this weekend and my mother is having a big cookout at the park. As usual, I have been asked to make a trifle. It usually gets devoured in like 10 minutes. Maybe I will take a walk through the park or something right before they serve dessert and it will be all gone when I get back :happy: BUT, she is going to have strawberry cake, pound cake, and some other cake :ohwell: *sigh* this is going to be a struggle, but I CAN DO IT!

    Hi everyone! Count me in...I am determined to make this the last time I lose this stinking weight! (This is the 3rd time I'm losing these same pounds :grumble: ) Christmas actually lines up perfectly with my goal of 2 pounds a week for a goal weight of 115.

    Good morning all~
    Got my Wii Active workout in this morning, and my usual egg over easy with a slice of toast.
    I'm ready for the weekend. The kids will be at their dad's house, so it will just be the honey and me for the weekend, which makes it much easier to stay on track.
    Have a good Friday everyone.

    might I suggest you also make or bring an angel foor cake with low fat cool whip and fruit! It's so yummy but angle food cake is light and fat free!! That way you can have a bit and not feel like you are missing out:happy:

    Morning group! I hope you are all doing well this morning.

    Just a question for you. Are you eating your sandwich with white or wheat bread? You might want to check your carb intake.
    I am by no means a professional, but I do know that having too many carbs does not help weight loss. Please do not be offended, I am just trying to help.
    Have a wonderful weekend.

    You can do this, just remember why you are wanting to lose the weight. You can always have a bite, but just remember to portion what you eat. Believe me I know how hard that is. I know you can do it. Have a wonderful weekend.:bigsmile:

    Weekends are my downfall too. My uncle is coming into town from New York this weekend and my mother is having a big cookout at the park. As usual, I have been asked to make a trifle.

    Weekends are bad for me too. I completely understand. I know you can do this though. Just remember you can have a bite, just don't overdue. Portion, Portion, Portion. I kno it is hard to do, but you can do it. Someone else had a great suggestion to do an Angel Food Cake. I hope you have a great weekend. :bigsmile:

    I am really excited about this challenge, being that I just finished an 8 week challenge. It is good to keep yourself in check with a challenge to keep you motivated.
    I am so excited to lose this weight and be able to keep it off. I have been needing to for a couple of years now. When I met my fiance' I weighed 158 and now here I am at 186. I actually started this journey at the beginning of the year at 206. So, I have lost 20 pounds, but I would love to lose 20 more. I am at the end of week 7 of the P90X program and I have just changed my calorie intake in hopes that I will lose the weight. We will see what happens.
    I hope that everyone has a great weekend. :bigsmile:

    I would like to join. This seems like a fun group and I decided I need to start one to stay motivated. I have been exercising and eating (for the most part) right for six weeks and have seen almost no progress. This will help keep me motivated during the week (Tuesdays and Wednesdays always get me... I'm assuming higher stress levels?)! Wednesday checkins are perfect for me. Starting at 180, hoping for 150 by Christmas! :)

    Went for a 4 mile run this morning and it was sooo hard! :laugh:

    Sometimes I can do it no problem and others, I can barely pick my feet up! Oh well, I try to listen to my body, and even though I pushed myself to finish this morning, I refueled really well with some Uncle Sam cereal and almond milk to put some healthy carbs back into my body.

    Here's hoping it will be easier tomorrow! :drinker:
