Good morning Everyone,

It's been a few days since I've been on the site. It's been crazy at work, however I managed to exercise everyday except Monday. I did get two workouts in on Wednesday to make up for the lost day. With that said...I actually gained 4lbs this week. I ate more this week because and I am on my cycle. I'm sure the cycle is contributing to all or most of the gain as I burned more calories this week than any other week and although my eating wasn't great, surely it wasn't four pounds worth.

Anyhow...I am moving on and expecting a better weigh in next week. Congratulations to everyone. Whether you lost or not...we are all working hard and finding our way to become a loser. :bigsmile:

I am still here. I've been back at work so my computer time has been limited. I had a friend visit from Oregon on Wednesday. We got up early Thursday morning and did a two mile walk. I am slowly but surely trying to get some exercise. I won't quit. It is so helpful hearing about everyone's successes and set-backs. We are in this together.

Hi! Got my workout in today as well as yesterday.

Dawn-I will check out that article. Thanks for posting it. Having a quiet weekend. It's been rainy here. My husband is actually doing a lot of the cleaning and I've been doing a lot of nothing. I'm enjoying the role reversal of the weekend.

Have a great night!

Good evening all,
Dawn..Congrats on getting your workouts is.....we have to be careful when we workout. Going gung ho when we are not use to doing so isnt good for our bodies. I know as I get older I cannot do that. I was running on my treadmill and my back started hurting from swinging my arms. No more running for me. Then when we are injured it is tough to get in any workout.
Hope your knee feels better soon. Next time take is easy.....the weight didnt come on overnite and it will not come off overnite. Slow and steady workouts and eating smart will slow but sure get the weight to fall off........Im a expert on losing weight.....just need some expert advice as to how to keep it offffffffffffffffffffffffff

Hello everyone,

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! I had a good weekend. I went to the gym and calculated all my calories. I was alittle frustrated yesterday because I stayed the same all week last week but today I was down 2.6 lbs! I just need to stay off the scale everyday and only weigh in once a week. I hope u all have a lovely Monday!!

Good Morning Everyone,

After a rough week last week I got back on track over the weekend and feel so much better. I went to Zumba on Saturday and am going again tonight. I went to a Farmer's Market this weekend and bought a ton of fresh fruit. If only I liked more vegeables. Hope everyone has a great week!!

Good evening girlfriends,
Hope ya all had a great weekend.:happy:

mamajess1......Im a scale addict to and need to weigh everyday.Tried to just do every other day but felt guilty about not getting on. I know I shouldnt let the numbers depress or elate me but they do. Anyway, let me know if you can kick the habit and how you did it.

chrissey....It really does help when your spouse is dieting with you. You dont have to cook something different just for yourself But......watch out when he decides to go offf and have a splurge he will want to draw you in too. It happens with my husband and I....Somethimes the strong will one can get the other to not splurge...Good Luck

angela.....fresh fruit is all in season now. I love fruits, fresh peaches, strawberries, raspberries....there are more fruits I like than veggies....I know what you mean. I try to eat alot of salads (lettuce tomato onion) and broccoli. The only veggies I like.

malpait......Im a beauty school graduate from back in 1971...I worked for about 20 yrs until my asthma wouldnt let me breath the hairspray and chemicals anymore. Receptionist sounds like a fun job. Hope you are enjoying it.

Everyone else........keep on your diet program and kick butt in the gym!!!!!:explode

Is H1N1 the swine flu...?? or is that something different. I dont have any little ones in school but it must be frightening for all of them to have to wear masks. So sorry for them.:frown: I would want to keep my child home and start home schooling.

Tonight is DANCE YOUR *kitten* OFF.....watch it if you get a chance. Here in Michigan they always play the repeats a lot so if you cant watch it on Monday you can surely view it later in the week.

angl:bigsmile:

Morning!! Angl- I didn't realize you were in Michigan! That's where I am as well.

Patty- I think that gains should be placed on the website. Otherwise there won't be a true number for motivation and to see the changes made. I think most of us will gain from time to time from water retention, TOM or whatnot. I don't see this as a negative thing because the individual can still be losing inches, improving health and the likes. I hope that made sense.

I will try to watch Dance Your *kitten* off. What time does it air? The one time I saw it was on a weekend and it was a mini-marathon.

How is everyone doing this week?
