I gained 1 pound this week and I know it was from my food choices. I did log everything though and I am pleased with myself for that. Last weeks goals 1) Again better breakfast and lunch (with protein) - I did better still room for improvement 2) Reduce rice cakes in the evening (I wasn't to successful with that last…

It is beautiful QT! I love the colors, it looks like summer time :)

[/quote] Hi, congrats on the 55 pounds you've lost. Keep up the good work. Are you also exercising? I need to lose 50 lbs and I'm starting TODAY. Not a fan of exercise but I'm gonna start with walking. I know portion control is big. Gotta add more veggies in. I wish you continued success! [/quote] I started out walking…

Cindy - I hope today is a better day for you. We all have those days, don't beat yourself up. <3 Hey QT B) I hope you have an awesome walk!

Hi! I have lost 55 lbs. and have 90 to go. As a busy mom myself, I have been doing vegie prep when I get home from the grocery store. I peel everything, cut everything up, and pop it in Tupperware containers in the fridge. That way I can eat them as a snack raw or throw them in stir fry or the steamer for supper. It saves…

Barb - You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. How thoughtful of you and your wife to take fresh vegies and fruit for all to share. So often food choices are so limited in such situations when strength and stamina are so needed. It is another type of food for the soul nourishing folks with fresh goodness. Hang…

Julia you are so right! Both Mark and I were happy to have our spinach artichoke stuffed mushrooms for lunch, we both commented on how good it tasted and how many years we never knew how what we ate made us feel.

Well I ate what I wanted last night. I had one plate full and a large piece of birthday cake. In the past I would have at least doubled what I ate. The things I learned, I didn't want as much as I would have in the past, it didn't taste as good as I thought it would, and I think I have a food hangover. I feel very tired…

Ms. S - Hope your mouth feels better soon <3

Hi Everyone! Happy Friday! Tonight we are having eight girls over for Golden's 16th birthday party. I will be going over my calories tonight. Mark is home and we have already eaten out while we ran errands. I will try not to eat too much, but I am going to indulge. We are suppose to be up to 40 on Sunday, maybe I can take…

Hi Noodle, Another six weeks and we will see the daffodils blooming :) We are suppose to get all the way to 40 Sunday afternoon. I can't wait, the girls and I might go for a walk. You have been doing a good job too. Every morning I see you have worked out at the pool and admire your dedication especially when I come here…

Noodle, it is never too late in the week for baby steps :) Take care of that shoulder <3

Congratulations on the promotion Cindy! :D

Mark likes to tell me that I think so far out of the box that I am not sure where the box is. So I must be looking for the box :#

Hi QT - it is up to 1 today. We are suppose to be in the 20's this weekend. Sad to say, I am looking forward to it! Alice - Hang in there this week and do what you can. You look awesome in that dress! It is beautiful.

Hi Cindy, sometimes life is just overwhelming. You have been working way too many hours for how long? You are never off duty being wife and mom. It has been a brutal winter and even if it hadn't been, this is the time of year people in the northern states are sick and tired of winter, and ready for it to be over. Couple…

Hi QT - Just trying to stay warm here -20 wind chill.

Way to go Alice! You are steadily getting there, keep up the good work!

Weigh in day! I lost 4 pounds :D Last week I pulled an upper back muscle and haven't done anything but some walking and Wii. Karen a big shout out to you, I think the protein tip made all the difference. I will just stick to the walking and the Wii to make sure that muscle is healed. So my goals for this week are: 1) Again…

Hi Barlovo, I'll be sending happy thoughts, comfort thoughts, and Zen your way this week <3

Hi Julia! You will get there! :)

Cindy - I'll bet you lost that .2 when you got your hair cut! I am getting better with the ball, some days are better than others. I think the hour of the day I work out might make a difference.

Oh and a wrist strap too.

With the Just Dance Videos yes you hold a gizmo that is the size of a remote controller. We have rubber cases on ours to make them easier to grip.

Karen, Do you have a Wii? My girls love the Just Dance videos. They have four of them with a variety of songs.

Awesome job Cindy!

I did 20 counter pushups woo hoo! Awesome Alice and Cindy!!!! You two are tearing it up!!!
