    Hello Girlfriends:flowerforyou:
    Congrats Chrissey down 1.6 Just keep up what you are doing and surely you will be under 200 next week. That will be a great incentive to EAT SMART knowing you are so close to being under the 200 mark.
    And Jillian (biggest loser) would love to give you a last chance work-out on Thursday.:noway:

    Eava.....We all tend to let life get in the way of our diet plans....Stay focused and plan your meals. I find that if I dont plan I tend to grab something not healthy.

    Elizabeth.....Glad to hear from you and Congrats on reaching 153. How much of a loss is that for you?

    Sjpiral girl71.....It really really really helps to have hubby on board. It is the only way to change a lifestyle.

    Everyone else...Losing weight is a life long journey. Wishing us all the strength to stick with it!!!:smile:

    Take Care,
    angl:bigsmile:

    Hi Everyone

    I am BACK
    I had three weeks leave as well for work as for MFP.
    Personal reasons and not easy.
    I gained of course so will try to be back on track asap.

    I hope everyone posted me the new weigh ins so that I can make a new list.
    Sorry I didn't do that for the last two weeks but had no time for that.

    Pleas update me with all the new ideas and info.

    Love to hear from all of you

    Patty

    Im doing great Elizabeth...Been eating healthy and keeping active. If you read one of my posts (back a few) you will read that I hate to work out sooooooo I really am not interested in joining you on your workout schedule. I find that if I just keep active works great for me. I park far away in parking lots and walk...I always take the stairs...I will do my stationary bike when winter gets here.
    Good luck on the work out schedule. It sounds challenging.

    :heart: hi guys! I am still 159. But not complaining it is still an 11 pound loss. I have to share a my success with leaving the grocery store hungry without the chocolate bar I would usually grab and go! It was because of your encouragement. I thought is this healthy? Yea , small skirmish with food but I won yesterday. Today is another day. one day at a time. hugs to all Richie:

    Hi

    Well done January
    I feel like starting right from the beginning again.
    Goal for this week is 3 times a week exercise and 2 liters of water a day.
    I also did/do the couch 2 5 K. On the cross trainer is is much harder than on a track.
    Indoors you can see if you keep up your speed, on the track you can;t but I did both.
    once on the track and 2 times indoors.
    I ended at week 5 3 weeks ago so I will pick it up at week 4 again next week

    Lets do it again
    Any new weigh ins ????

    Patty

    Goodmorning

    It's monday morning and a new fresh start for me. I nearly gained all the 7lb that I had lost. Absolutely my own mistake. Eating out of (what shall I call it )depression ???
    Very Bad habit

    I know I can do it so here I go again:drinker:
    Well done for all those who nearly at their goal weight, for the others keep it up.

    I updated our website
    (http://sites.google.com/site/julystarters/)
    for the ninth week but a lot have dropped out. :cry: :cry:
    For last friday i only received 2 weigh ins!!
    Shall I stop or continue? We nearly have to start a new tread at 20 pages/
    We could continue under the same name or start on as " New Years Even Goal 2009"

    For those who's name was not on the list or not any more, sorry maybe I made a mistake please update me.

    Come on, join us, inspire us lets do it together!!!

    What shall we do!

    Patty, Please keep this group going. I usually weigh in on Wednesdays. and I have lost 11 pounds since July. Like you I am an emotional eater. Like others in the group I am not into exercise. I never have been. This group is important to me. I am a computer illiterate and thus my postings are plain but I started out at 170 and now am 159. . I am grateful to each of you for your honest postings. I have failed so many times at this fight, knowing I can come here for encouragement is important. Thanks to all of you. hugs, Richie

    :smile: Just got back from a skirmish at "Bob Evan's" Restaurant and I won! I ordered my favorite and only ate a small portion but all of the salad. Good thing the entree alone was one thousand four hundred and seventeen calories! God Bless all of you for your helpful hints. The garlic bread was 195 calories. Oh my goodness Thank goodness I could share it with my very skinny friend that went out with me! I don't think I did too much damage maybe 100 calories over the limit.

    Hugs to all, Richie
