I finally had one of those problems that was a good one. The weather turned nice here last weekend so I pulled out a pair of capris from last summer. AND they were too big. I need the next size! Love it! I am giving them all to my sister who has lost 30 pounds so far. So, we all want to know, how was your show Rach. You…

I have missed checking in. I have been working hard though. I finally made the ten pound mark!! I do enjoy the support of this particular group. You guys are so motivating!!:flowerforyou:

lcorrell - glad to hear the guy problems are working themselves out. I am an emotional eater. Problem is, it doesn't matter what emotion. Boredom is the worse for me. Usually I am not really bored I am just avoiding a task that has to get done so I go eat something instead. The harder the task the more creative I get with…

I apologize for being mia. I had a really busy week but did pretty well. Did some different excercises in a class on Wednesday and I was still sore until Friday. The instructor realyy knows how to put your rear in gear. OW! jg - hope you survived the birthday party!

Yeah, introplay starts today. Sounds like so many of us need to get back on track. I only worked out last Monday. I did a lot of house cleaning. And did I mention laundry. YEs, I guess I have.:grumble: I am ready to get back on track. Cinnamon buns and cereal?? :tongue: Can't they microwave you a Smart Ones or something??…

Anyone want to fill me in on how I can put my picture in the introplay league. I did join, but I am just a shadowy figure. I really need step by step directions. It was easier to do on here, yet even that was challenging for me.

Can you tell that I am sitting hear and catching up? Hotmom - I am glad you came through surgury well. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Wishing you a speedy recovery. My 18 year ol is a Jeckyll and Hyde. Sometimes sweet "love you mom" and sometimes so grumpy (usually the mornings, I try to say very little to him!) Hurley -…

It really stinks to have to go through all of that!! I know how many hours you spend just trying to deal with it all. Good luck with your recovery though. I am glad to hear you can still excercise, hope the rest of you heals quickly!

ditto on all the congrats!! I am the same way on weekends. I work hard all week and maybe go down a couple of pounds only to sabbotage myself on the weekend. I didn't workout as much as I would have liked to this week. Does anyone else feel like it is a losing battle trying to keep up with housework"???? ESPECIALLY…

rach can you post the link to introplay....I am pretty backward when it comes to this kind of stuff. MFP is the first time I even started posting.. Only becuase you people are sooo nice.

We need to buy a fence for our dog, but right now are in so much debt over everything else!! We are taking her out on a leash for now which isn't ideal for her. If we don't she runs toward the sound of any kids she hears in the neighborhood and we end up chasing her for an hour. :grumble: A game she really enjoys.:laugh: I…

You are looking really good!! Keep it up. :drinker: Like I said before, you are motivating us all.:flowerforyou:

I can't believe how much I count on checking our "community" each day. You guys rock! Good job this week and overall. I hope we keep this up, I love this support. Connie, I hope you do go on Biggest Loser. It would be great to have a MFP friend to root for!! We all would.

Thanks for the info. I feel better about it. It is so discouraging when you are trying to lose weight and anything slows down the process. It's hard enough.

I am going back on it tomorrow. I was off it for a while. My doctor told me outright , you will gain weight with this, or it makes it pretty hard to lose on it. :cry: Now I have twice the work to do. I am giving it the three months and then I am looking into other options. Of course insurance doesn't pay for any form of…

Ok checking in. Here's what I just emailed to Rach "I'm 165. I think that makes me down a pound. Even though I did hit 164 last Friday. I get so frustrated with myself. I stayed at 164 all weekend but on Tuesday for no reason I can think of I was back up to 167 yesterday. At least I am at 165 today. I probably shouldn't…

Welcome back borac. I am glad to hear that you are on the mend.

Me, too. With the m&m's I eat them by color too. Sometimes I make a flower with them and the petals are in a color pattern. Yeah I'm crazy

Oh my!! I am glad I put my food in. I thought I did so good today. Then I put in the food and not as I thought. Its a good thing for MFP.

:happy: I did the eliptical for 40 minutes. THEN I got brave and went to a spin class. It was my first time ever! I made it all 60 minutes!! I'm sure I won't be able to walk tomorrow.:bigsmile:

:drinker: Way to go!! You look great. Isn't always nice when the clothes you now fit into are smaller? :smile: I know you have been working hard, keep it up, you inspire us all.:flowerforyou:

Oh my son is so into cooking right now. He made the best cheese cake at school and then recreated a couple more of them at home. Of course I had to try it (more than once :blushing: ) He is taking a trip next week to check out a culinary school. (oooooh nooooo! My diet:sad: )

Of course like almost every other week, I am down 2 pounds going into the weekend. (which is great) but I always blow it over the weekend. I need to just say no to all the temptations of the weekend!! A group of us from work are going to the flower show in Philadelphia and that means going out to eat. I will resist…

I didn't lose this week, but I didn't gain either. :tongue: But... I went to the doctor's yesterday and I have lost 15 pounds from my visit last year!! :smile: I would have lost some this week but a snow storm is apparently an excuse to not excercise and eat comfort foods. :ohwell: I WILL do better next week. My sister…

:flowerforyou: everyone is plugging away! wtg!! chrissyh, you are lucky to have hubby on board. It is a lot easier when all the tempting food is not in the house. He is supportive though. At least he made dinner all week so I could go straight to the gym after work. Here's to week 9 - keep up the good work blue!!

:flowerforyou: Rach, you're the best!!!!!:flowerforyou:

I am glad to hear you are starting to feel better. I am so sorry to hear about your job loss. I will be praying for you. (hope that's ok)

Checking in for week 8. I stayed the same and I'm really mad about it:mad: I worked out every single day. Even Saturday and Sunday which I haven't done in a while (yes I'll admit it.:embarassed: ) According to mfp I was in my calorie limit. I guess next week I can't use the calories gained from excercise. My mistake, Is…

Don't be so hard on yourself. You are worth it!! You have to look at it this way: you are investing in your health and your future. Also, you should see what I pay in gym fees and they just went up again. Soo in the long run you are saving yourself lots of money!! I say go for it because if you don't make your excercise…

I made it to the gym today which makes 5 days in a row! I haven't done that in a while. I go tomorrow morning for a stress test (for the ole ticker) :heart: I guess two good things are: I can't eat or drink past 10:00 tonight and I will get a little extra extra excercise tomorrow morning on the treadmill. I've never had…
