    Hi everybody! I'm still waiting for a few weigh-ins!!! I've talked to one of our girls who was unable to weigh in today, but will report early in the AM. I've texted the other one....and expect her in tomorrow AM also. So, please give me until tomorrow to post the chart!! Sorry about that...but it's a big step by step process to get the thing posted here, so I'll just post it tomorrow if nobody minds!! THANKS! :flowerforyou:

    For whatever reason, I'm just worn out and tired and sneezy tonight, so I'm headed off to sleep on the couch til my kids come home tonight. I'll be here as early as I can tomorrow morning to get this thing done for ya'll!!

    Oh, and this week....I won't cheat over the weekend! Urghhhhh! I was easily meeting my 5 lb goal and just blew it over the weekend. I was having internet withdrawals without service and was just plain MAD! LOL Anyway....WON'T happen again. I gotta get out of these 190's!!!

    Have a great night! :wink:

    SassySouthernGirl - you do WHATEVER you need to do. By the way, I'd LOVE to be in the 190's! Yes, I would!!! :laugh:
    So, you just sleep soundly on that couch (reminds me of times past, now that I've got 25 & 26 year olds) and that chart will get done when it gets done, right? :wink:
    Cheating over the weekend is the main reason I hate and NEED to do Monday weigh-ins. Thanks for this thread and thanks for keeping it so positive. You're doing a great job! :flowerforyou:

    LEO - WELCOME BACK!! :flowerforyou:

    Sounds like pretty much everyone is having a super weigh in day - that's wonderful! I just thought I'd check in and catch up on the posts from this evening, and catch up my food diary for the day. I stayed right where I want to be. I had a small helping of soft serve on Sunday, and it woke the carbmonster - I've been keeping him at bay all day, eating more protein than usual, but so far on track.

    I'll talk to y'all tomorrow!

    MINI CHALLENGE TO ALL

    This week park a little further, you know, where there are lots of spaces, a further distance from the store, or work. Walk the extra distance briskly with your abs tightened.
    I'm in... Any other takers?

    We all can WIN at this!!!

    Beach- I always do that any ways because I hate having to drive up and down looking for a place to park I dont mind the walking unless... my kids are screaming lol. Another one is try not to slouch it really helps your back and your abs... Thats what my dr told me. Well my OB but she is a health nut. lol.

    Back from my mini vac and brought some weight back with me :grumble: . My weigh in for today is 166.0. Gotta get to work. I will try to post later today, but I'm not sure if I will be able to. I have major assignments due next week, and I'm trying to get a handle on them now before they become uncontrollably overwhelming.

    Thanks
    Not slouching when you walk is a good tip. I do that but at times forget and it's good to be reminded. Many times it's the little things that make the difference. WHEN ONE IS RUNNING THROUGH THE FOREST, THEY DON'T TRIP OVER THE REDWOODS, THEY MAY GET TRIPPED UP BY THE BRUSH, TWIGS, AND VINES ON THE GROUND.( All the little things)

    EVERYONE, Don't wait till Thurs or Friday, start today
    Good luck and God bless

    Beachcomer - That sentence is a powerful visual concept for me!!! All of those little things interfere with me keeping focused. Thank you so much for posting this! :flowerforyou:

    Count me in on your challenge to "walk the extra distance briskly with your abs tightened." It's got to make a difference. Emphasis on Briskly and Abs Tightened!!!
    Now all I have to do is FIND my abs...:blushing:

    SLIM --- I actually stuck a 3 lb goal on the chart I'm doing for this week for ya! Don't know how I knew that....but I did! :bigsmile: And, you didn't do so bad....with a vacation and all....you will have that gone in no time. I really need to buckle down right NOW!! I was 192 on Friday and 194 yesterday! BLAH BLAH!! Time to get it going big time again...time to hit the 180's! Wanted to be in 170's by the time we go to Chicago and that's just over 4 weeks away. No more playin on weekends! :wink:

    I wanna a 7 lb loss this week!!!! :tongue:

    OK...had my lunch salad break...time to get back to the basement cleaning. I'm wearing my Polar F6 while scrubbing/cleaning the basement and I'm burning up some calories big time! Funny....that stupid run/walk that killed my knees didn't burn nearly as many calories as all this cleaning stuff is doing!

    What's for supper tonight?

    Me, I think I am making spaghetti squash, italian sausage, home made pasta sauce with oregano, onion, roasted red pepper and green pepper and caesar salad.

    What is for dinner in your neck of the woods????

    Dessert - Low Carb Brownies. My husband has been begging for these again.

    WAY TO GO, MAGNIFICENTMAMA! You go, girl! Betta watch yourself - I'm right on your tail working toward stealing that top spot from you next week, LOL!

    LEO - yum, your dinner sounds LOVELY. My DH loves it when I do spaghetti squash for noodles - I need to make that very soon, maybe Thurs nite!

    Me, my dinner is just a Atkins shake. I had an IBS flareup yesterday afternoon and I'm still not quite right, so its usually best for me to avoid anything solid for a day or so.... Love me some Atkins shakes, though!

    Tomorrow is day #2 of my C25K - maybe I can actually run more than 30 seconds this time! LOL!

    RES ---- I was thinkin' if my son goes with me to do that 'run' thing next time I go....then maybe he can take the camcorder and we could win on America's Funniest Home Video Show. I don't know what you would call what I did...but it wasn't running for those 60 sec. intervals...more like hopping or something. I could NOT make my body run....it was the strangest feeling. But, I did something everytime it told me to....hopped or something....felt like a cartoon character in some kind of slow motion cartoon. It was awful!!! And, to think.....per my Polar F6 heart rate monitor....I burned only 93 calories....today I burned 835 with some hard cleaning and moving boxes in the basement. Of course it took way longer in the basement...but at least nobody saw me lookin' all like a slo-mo cartoon character of sorts. :bigsmile:

    Leo...that dinner sounds great! Enjoy!

    Hey... does anybody know how many pages we can go on these threads?? I was thinkin' maybe the beginning of next week we should start a new thread for week 3....SAME NAME and all.....just a new thread. any thoughts on that from someone who has been here longer than me and knows something???
