    Another great morning work out and I did pilates last night... Yeah me!!!!!

    Not sure if I am going to change my weigh in day to Saturday to follow everyone else. I was doing Wednesdays.. If I'm down tomorrow I will use that as my new day, if not I'll wait til Wednesday...

    Here's to a GREAT FRIDAY for everyone...
    Have a great weekend

    I like doing Saturday weigh-ins because they help keep me from doing bad things on Friday! :laugh:

    yeah, I like Wednesday because I then have time to shed my bad weekends... Not sure why, but friday nights I really enjoy having a few cocktails to unwind after my week in the office and running kids everywhere.
    I actully just had Red Lobster for lunch with my hubby and did it around 600 cal's. So I feel really full right now, but plan on doing something tonight before we go to our sons football game.

    Wow--- how'd you keep it at 600?? I cannot help but indulge on the cheesy rolls, yum!!

    Good afternoon! I am super pumped today. I got in my am workout and had a good healthy breakfast. I just had a wonderful lunch which I am glad to say filled me up. I checked the scale today, only lost 1 pound which made me smile, the scale is finally moving!!! I will check back next week to see how everyone is doing. Keep up the good work!

    Thats why I pick Saturday as well and you can indulge a little Saturday night and work it off all week. My husband and I do this Saturday mornings because that is when we are both home together and we check each other's weight. It was hard when we started to let my husband see my weight. I weighed more than him and he has 3 inches on me. But we need to keep each other accountable and we could celebrate together when we weighed in.


    Also good job on the 1 pound tecatecate

    I hear ya, they rock.. Only had one for 150 cal's and didn't let them bring any more. I eat a salad with next to no dressing and should have gotten my standard Salmon Grilled, but wanted pasta, only eat 3/4 of a lunch portion. And when it came out I realized they don't have Wheat pasta, I haven't eaten reg. pasta in forever. Actually it wasn't as good as my wheat... Oh well

    My family is having a "Biggest Loser" competition with my brother in law's family, and I almost didn't do bc I was too embarrassed to weigh in! I didn't want my own family seeing my weight. Isn't that such a shame?

    But I tell you what.... it was certainly a relief to get it out of the way. Hopefully that's the last time either of us will be embarrassed to share our weight!

    Well it's only 3, but I've had a crazy exercise day already, I went to yoga this morning (1 hr.), a friend called and needed a venting walk ( 2 mi.), ran w/ a neighbor (3 mi.), then another walk w/ neighbor and dogs (2 mi.).

    Will be doing family yard work tomorrow, whole yard full of leaves (20+bags probably) to rake and bag, mow, compost runs...it'll be a calorie-burner for sure!

    I'd love to join...i began "trying" to start this journey about 4 months ago. I wasn't ready, so it didn't happen then. Through the months (and 10 more pounds) I found myself ready to do this...for myself. Unlike most of the people I read about I havent always struggled with my weight, I was a basketball and volleyball player in high school, with a scholarship in basketball. I got really sick my senior year, they put me on steroids for an extended period and WOW I blew up! :blushing: I gained 30 pounds in about 2 months..not only because of the steroids but because I found myself loving food : ) and had began a sedimentary life-style.I couldnt even go to school!! Well, finally I was fixed-but my weight issues have gotten worse. Since high school (5 years) I've added another 30 or so pounds to bring me to 262. Don't get me wrong I was never "skinny" i was always bigger than most the people in my class but I was fit. I have no illusions, I dont even want to be "skinny" that isn't my goal. Just to be healthy and fit. My husband is also considered "obese" and he has battled his weight constantly. His weight has fluctuated badly. He's not ready just yet to join me on this journey but Im hoping through my hard work and dedication he will decide this is what he wants, too. It is not easy to do this by yourself. He tends to "guilt" me into bad food-well this is where it stops. No matter how hard it is to tell him no, he's gonna start hearing it now!! Thanks ladies for listening! I hope to be able to give the same support I will be getting :flowerforyou:

    Sparkler2112 welcome to the group. We have started a new thread for week two. The link is below. Our weighs ins are on Saturday mornings but any day is fine as long as it stays consistent every week and you weigh your self at the same time that day. I like mornings right after I use the restroom and before breakfast. My husband luckily on this journey with me. He was just over the obese line and now he has lost 10 pounds in two weeks. You should really talk to your husband and tell him how it important it is to be healthy not only for yourselves but for each other. Tell him that you don't appreciate being guilted into eating junk food. If he is not ready that is fine but he should be supportive for you.

    Good morning all, I hope everyone had a great weekend!! :flowerforyou: Unfortunately, I did not weigh in this morning, but plan on doing so tomorrow morning. I think I've been doing ok with eating and exercising...yesterday I went for a 6 mile run with the dog and plan on doing about 4 miles today with him (he's very energetic and needs a lot of exercise) so...he's been keeping me from being lazy :glasses:
