20 th July new group

I am out of town for the weekend and actually got up and used the treadmill in the hotel for 30 minutes first thing this morning. Met a friend for lunch today and went to Benihana, ordered what I normally eat and couldn't eat it all. I can't believe how much food it was that I was eating at every meal. If I get nothing else from this site, I will get portion control. We are going to see Journey in concert tonight. I can hardly wait! Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Good Morning!! I lost 2.4 pounds and I am very happy with that!! Yes, I need to count that four-tenths of a pound :happy:

Dawn- You are kicking butt!! Keep up the great work!

Elizabeth- I know that bad photo feeling. I agree, use that as motivation. For what it's wroth...I still think it's a cute shot. That Shred DVD is hard work. The next time you go on vacation you will see an entirely different bum-view. Please don't let one photo discourage you.

Eava-I'm so sorry about your friend's loss. That is so sad.

Angela-How was the concert? I commend you for getting on the tredmill at the hotel.

Patty-Your evening with your husband sounded very nice! I would have done the same thing.

Holly-I do the challenges on most days. It depends on my schedule and kids and such. I know I get most of them in during my sculpting dvd so I don't feel so bad if I don't do them in addtion to that.

Looking forward to a great week! My oldest son went on vacation with my inlaws. I dropped him off last night and he'll be gone for 2 weeks. When one of the kids is gone, I'm just not myself. I will be keeping very busy, that's for sure.

Does anyone else have a Facebook account? If so, message me so I can find you or you can find me on there!

Will check in later to see the rest of the weigh in results.

I haven't been on in a few days. I also had an awful eating weekend =(

I am hoping that this week will get better. My hubby is working in AZ and I won't see him until next month. So I have been emotionally eating like crazy.

I really need to kick it in the booty and get moving!

It looks as though everyone else is doing awesome!

Good morning everyone I did not lose any weight but that will not discourage me. I will try harder this week. I don't know what I did wrong. I did the weekly chalIenge which was a drastic change for me because I usually just put in 30 minutes 4-5 days a week of cardio. With the weekly challenge, I was burning more calories a day & I probably ate more than I should have. My body was probably not used to receiving the extra calories. I also did more strength training, which is something I had not been doing a lot of, but whatever the problem I will figure it out.

To those who lost CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Good morning girlfriends,
Patty....I love wine too......We all need to kick back once in a while. Good for you. I dont know what my weight was last Fri. but for Mon. it is 170.75...thats 1 lb less than last week.

Dawn....YOU GO GIRL...WOW 7 lbs....you will not get kicked off this week:laugh:

Spiralgirl....Congrats on the 2.4 loss and yes we must count every tenth. Your new scale must be a good one.

Eava....so sad to hear of your friends loss. Its not right for your kids to go before you. Your friend will need your support through this. I have a friend who lost two of her children, three years apart. She will never get over it. She just has her memories and talks of her children often. Be a good listener for her.

Sandif1....I never consume my workout calories. Im thinking I work out to burn more calories so why eat more....try not consuming your workout calories. Keep it up and DONT QUIT

Malpait.....Sorry for you that your husband is away. Think about having a hotter...sexier body when he returns. He will love it and maybe it will motivate you to work on it. DONT QUIT

Angela...let us know how the Journey concert was. Good for you using the treadmill in the hotel. Usually the equipment is so ****ty in the motels. You must had a good one.

Portion Control is a must!!! Especially to maintain....just a note to myself. Everywhere we eat out they give you way way way toooooooo much food.

Everyone have a great day.
angl:bigsmile:

hey ya
Weighed in on Friday lost 3 pounds :happy: thrilled to bits...joined a gym on friday as well...got my workouts all set up or me by the trainer I was ready to cry after the first night but have done it twice since and it doesn't seem as hard as i originally thought so hopefully I will burn the fat :laugh:

I was out of town this week and missed the weigh-in day change. Sorry. But, I can report that I did not lose any weight this week. But I'm not too upset about it because we were on vacation and I did not count calories and didn't really eat all that healthy. I did however, get lots of exercise, walking, hiking and swimming so I think that's how I managed to not gain any.

Angelea - the concert sounds awesome. I love Journey!
Eva - condolences to your friend. That's so sad.
Spiralgirl - I'm on facebook too - txjenn1

Have a great week everyone! :drinker:

Hello All,

I had a good week...getting a bit bored of eating the same thing..I need some new recipies..I am such a creature of habit and just make the same ole thing...well something must be working..my new weight is 210.6lbs...I weighed in at home on Sunday on the Wii fit and will continue to weigh in at home.....my last weight was on a scale at work so there may be a 1-2lb difference between the two...I have not added any exercise yet as I made that mistake previously of exercizing and not eating enough...congrats to all who remained the same and those who lost a few...and for any that gained, there's always next week.

Staring Weight 222
Current Weight 210.6
Goal Weight 160

:smile Congrats to those who lost this week...it keeps the rest of us motivated. I am finding that the key is to keep the calorie count daily. I had missed a day and tried to keep track in my head. Taking the time to type it does seem to make a difference. I am trying to do my calorie count the night before so I will have a plan. Next step...the Exercise Challeng! I had my yearly physical today and lost 7 lbs. since las summer. :blushing: I can't wait to surprise my doctor next summer when I lose 40 more!:bigsmile: Have a wonderful day!
