    Don't hate when you barely lose anything. I lost almost 1 pound but a loss is a loss. I will push harder next week. My husband lost another 5 pounds. That is 10 pounds in 2 weeks. Wish I could pull numbers like that. Good luck to everyone weighing in. I will check in later tonight.

    good morning! Well I lost 2 lbs this week. I feel really good about that number. I have set goals of 5 lbs a month. So far its looking great. I really think that is a reasonable goal. I have a friend coming over this weekend to me help set up the basement so I will be able to do the 30 day shred again. I 'm thinking however I need to really stretch before I do it so i don't pull another muscle that has really limited my excerise this week but I worked really hard yesterday and it worked out.

    I will have a movie review for you all later today. A bunch of us are going to see the Christmas Story so I will let you know what it was.

    Good luck to all with the weigh in today.

    Maddy- You know a pound lost is still good, you are on the right track and thats what matters! As far as you husband well good for him but men always lose faster than woman and you are doing it together. That is a great thing you have support in each other. Keep up the good work!

    :frown: I know I have to give my body time to adjust but I still felt just a smidgen of annoyance this morning when I weighed myself only to see: 198 on the scale. I just about strangled the scale but then let it go.

    I'll work even harder this week! By golly and gee I will get that number lower!

    I lost about 2 pounds which is good but I did terrible with the exercising! I am finding it really hard to get motivated.

    Okay, down another .4 this morning for a total of 6.6 since Monday, totally water weight though, no secret here, had a terrible weekend w/ Halloween candy, parties, etc., but got back on track Monday morning. Raking the yard for the last 2 hours, so lots of exercise today!

    Great job everyone, pounds and inches lost! And all of you who don't feel you've accomplished something because your scale or clothes didn't change, think of all the good things you did for your body with healthy eating and exercise, and also just your new mind set!!!

    Good job everyone!

    Angie--- water weight or not, that's awesome!!

    Well I lost 3 lbs this week. Even though I was expecting more, I am happy with that since I did get a little lazy working out this week. I am ready to hit the gym strong this week, though!

    Keep up the good work guys

    great job to everyone so far, I think this is a great team and we WILL succeed this time! Lets keep up the great work!:smile:

    So now on a different subject I wanted to share the movie review, My Mom and I went to see THe Christmas Story and well it was a good movie on how they re did it and Jim Carrey was his usual self and that part I really did enjoy but yet in a way I caught myself saying ok next sceen please. Some parts dragged on and other went to fast. Over all it was a good movie to see in the theare but I will not buy this one. Please go check it out and let me know what you guys thought!

    I hope everyone has a good weekend, Off to have dinner with a friend!

    Later everyone

    Tracy :tongue:

    Good job everyone keep it up. I know I shouldn't bum about the almost 1 pound loss but sometimes you can't help especially when you bust your tail working out. But sometimes you have off weeks. your body has to learn and adjust. Everyone keep up the good work this week.

    Grr :frown: 1/2 a kg gain! (Though hadn't weighed myself for a few weeks so that wasn't necessarily from this week, I hope, cos I was pretty well behaved all week1!).

    Trying to concentrate on the things I did well though.

    Just keep plowing onward and work extra hard? That's what I'm planning. :)

    Everyone remember, I even have to tell myself this but the scale isn't the only assessment of how your doing. Measurements count and I am sure some of you haven't really noticed the scale budge but a difference in clothing. Also how to do you feel physically. Do you feel better when you didn't scarf down those brownies or eat a bag of chips or drink cokes all day. I know I do. I even have great energy after my workouts which is good. That means your body is adjusting to your new lifestyle and that is really what we are here for. Yes I want to look sexy for my husband and wear cute clothing and really really want to have confidence to wear a swimsuit but I really truly want to be able to play with my boys and not get tired. I want to run with them and not get winded. I want to be healthy and live long enough to be around to enjoy any grandchildren I might have. With my weight now and my health I probably wouldn't make it that far. I don't have any life threatening problems like diabetes or high blood pressure but I am really on the verge of acquiring those problems. Carrying so much extra weight really puts a strain on your heart and that should be the main muscle we are taking care of and conditioning. Losing weight not only makes you look good but makes your body work better. We all can do this and sometimes we will want to give up but please help anyone you can and you will receive it back 10 fold. Good luck this week and I will check in as much as I can.

    Okay, slowing down now, still where I was yesterday, and that with going out to eat for dinner, but I only drank water, had a filet, veggies, and garlic mashed (1/2), so yummy dinner, but not super rich or indulgent. I also went out w/ my running group for the first time since the Great River Relay in August. I ran a little over 6 miles, and then locked my friend out of his car while he ran another few miles, I felt so bad! I did have breakfast/lunch w/ them after at a local restaraunt, but ordered a ham and veggie omelet, and ww toast, ate 1/2 of the omelet and all the yummy toast! Will eat light the rest of the day as this wasn't the kind of place you asked for whites only, or less butter/oil in cooking!

    Good morning everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend! It was beautiful in Minnesota, perfect yard work weather, and it was snowing 2 weeks ago, crazy!

    I had a good weekend, 3 hours of raking and bagging leaves Sat., 30+ bags to the compost, lot of work. I ran w/ my group yesterday, a little over 6 mi., though w/ them runs are always followed by food, and at night drinking, good thing I only run mornings! I had a veggie/ham omelet w/ ww toast and jam, but only ate 1/2.

    Down 1.2 this morning!!! A total of 7.8 for my first week back on the weight loss wagon! I know this has been water weight after a really bad Halloween weekend, and not so great choices even before, but I'm still very excited, it was a very motivational loss!!!

    Hi Ladies. It was a roller coaster weekend for me. I weighed in on Saturday afternoon, just to see what it said. I was down 1.5 lbs! I was really excited. I did my official weigh in this morning and I was up .5 So a 2 lb swing in 24 hours...gota love our bodies. It is also my TOM so I think I will just skip recording my weight this week and wait until next week.

    This week may be pretty tough for me to eat healthy or get in exercise. I am surprising my husband with a trip to Las Vegas for his Birthday. We fly out Thursday night and get home Sunday night. As fun as it will be, I am sure I will be tempted with millions of things that I shouldn't eat. On the bright side, I will probably get a lot of walking in:bigsmile:

    tahmed- just remember portion control and you should be ok. Enjoy your trip with your husband though and don't stress about the food to much. And like you said you will be walking alot.

    Sorry for not checking in on Saturday. I am having some issues in my neighborhood with security and was trying to get my home as secure as possible. I was informed by PD that there is a man breaking into homes when women are alone.

    So trying to stay on target with the stress was not very easy. I did manage to lose 1.5 pounds which is something. I will continue to stay focused but I have already had some step backs with my diet.

    I will keep everyone posted.

    so much for my evening workout.. Came home from work. The hubby made a great wheat pasta and low fat sausage for dinner. Had a yummy salad and snap peas to go with it.
    so that I could get another workout in, he said he would clean up dinner and I could go for a walk.

    So it is DARK, but there is a small development with next to no traffic just around corner, I was going to walk the loop 2-3x for my workout... GREAT just what I needed....

    Off I go to walk around the corner, now I do live in the woods and it's dark......... A car comes in my direction I step to the side so I am on the grass,,,,,,,,,,, I tripped and fell!!! my leg is now bleeding and my ankle is in crazy pain...... I finally hop to my house and my wonderful hubby cleans my leg and gets me ice for my ankle!!!!:grumble: :grumble: Now what!!!!! I've just been maintaining and work out everyday!
    Hopefully I will feel fine in the morning and can get back into my exercise routine.

    It never fails, Murphey's Law:explode: :cry:

    Oh no--- be careful! You should definitely do whatever you can to not give off the appearance that you are home alone. Switch cars with whatever man lives with you often so nobody knows who drives what!

    I am telling you guys this in hopes that I get off my butt since you are holding me accountable.

    I have been skipping the gym... A LOT!! I love it when I go but once I stop going it's SO HARD to get back in.

    So TOMORROW is the day! I am going as soon as I get up in the morning and will make myself proud! I will check in with you guys tomorrow to tell you about it, and if I do not check in, ask me! (That probably means I wimped out again and am too embarrassed to say!)

    GOOD MORNING ALL! I have been on a kick lately, I have gone to the gym everyday since last friday, (ok so thats only 4 days but its a start) and this morning I made myself go downstairs and I did the 30 day shred before I went to work. I do feel more energized so thats a good thing. I will still try and get our to the gym tonight and do the Elipical for a while. If I can do this everyday I'll be happy and I should have a good weigh in next sat.

    My biggest problem is I never get anywhere near the excerise calories, I really want to work on staying under the regular cals for the day and where I work 2 jobs thats just hard for me to even cook anything at night. I will have to work on that!

    Tecatecate-I'm keeping you in my prayers that you are safe. Good luck I always have my cell near by just in case. Keep in touch with us so we know how its going!

    Hi all. I weighed in and I'm at 155....AGAIN :grumble: :noway: :grumble: I have been at this weight for like 3 weeks now and can't shake it off. Yes, sometimes I don't eat as healthy, but I workout like no ones business! I just can't believe it! For example, this morning I ran 6 miles in 52 minutes, which is AMAZING for me...and tonight, I'm going to be attending an aerobics class..this is what I've been doing pretty much for 3 weeks now...I'm going to just keep it up and see where it gets me though. I hope everyone else is doing better than myself. :flowerforyou:

    vanimami - Dont get down about the lack of weight loss. You know in your heart that all the exercise is paying off. Even if you aren't seeing it in the numbers, you are getting healthier, and are doing good things for your entire body!! Feel proud that you can run 6 miles in 52 minutes. That is VERY impressive.

    Abutler - It's tomorrow.....did you go to the gym last night? I hope you did, but if you didn't, thats ok every once in a while. I know for me, I am just too stressed this week, trying to get things done before we leave. I have allowed myself to not go this week, but I am making sure that I stay within my calories. Since there is no exercise, I am focusing on what I can still control.

    Thanks Tahmed, plus I am lifting weights as well...so Maybe that's why :huh: ?? Also I'm impressed that you can not exercise and stay within your calories, that would be tough for me! That's very motivating!

    So my leg and ankle were in mild pain today, no Jillian, but I did do a 30 min Pilates so I would have at least something for the day... NO idea how I'm going to work off my over extended day on Sunday b tomorrow morning, but oh well:ohwell:

    I'll focus on my calories and watch what I eat... Maybe tomorrow I can do a nice walk during the day light hours:laugh:

    Left overs for lunch

    Hope everyone has a great day..
    Weigh in tomorrow for me:wink:
