Glad to see you back eek, is school nearly over for the semester? I fell of wagon many times but remember you guys looking for me and I dust myself off then get right back on wagon. Chipgal

Will go to water arobics on Tuesday. I had a great Mother's Day. Hope all of you were treated to a day of peace and quiet. Chipgal

New Beginning :bigsmile: Congratulations

New Beginings, When I go to my water arobic class I watch the clock and when I stop to catch my breath (or prevent drowning) I subtract those minutes from the total hour. I usually end up with 45 or 50 minutes of actual exercise. Myth I drank all my water so far this week. I keep a pint jug on my desk and sip at it and…

Will strat keeping track of water today.:bigsmile: Hope NewBeginigs feels better this weekend.:wink: Wher is Eek?:flowerforyou:

Hi Myth, Water would be a good challenge to start with. See if we can drink at least the limit on the daily diary. Chipgal

There have been a few lookers, just no one joining in the posts. Maybe Myth could start another week of challenges. Chipgal

If it ever quits raining here I'll start water arobics and that will help firm up flab. Thanks Myth, now I can describe bathroom visits more clearly.lol

I had a scare last week, my weight changed by 10 pounds overnight and my ankles were very puffy. Called the Dr. and he said to drink only water and eat fruit (no meat or dairy) and if I still had puffy ankles to come see him. I went on water/fruit diet and by the next morning my weight had gone back down 15 pounds and my…

Thalia, when did you sleep and eat if you worked so many hours? Myth, glad you prepare for visits and know what is ahead. Just remember moderation and you can enjoy visits. Eek, How you doing? Chipgal

Myth, Have you recovered? Glad to hear they still play miniture golf, know your chicks liked it. Thalia, Did you break the 200 mark? Hope everyone is staying on track. Chipgal

Myth, I went to panama city long time ago and played lots of minature golf and rode many rides, do they still have lots of "parks" as they call them? Glad you weighed ok sounds like you had a great time. Chipgal

Hello every one, glad to see all the new posts. Eek I know how you feel with out a computer. When we stay at my parents I do not have internet and just going through withdrawal is tough. Congradulations Thalia, hope you reach 199 next week.:bigsmile: Myth, do you need a vacation to get over the vacation now? Chipgal

Myth, Glad to see you had a great week with chickens. lol Do not beat yourself up about gains it will go down again. Chipgal

Happy Birthday Eek, I would like the chicken burger recipe. Chipgal

Funeral was yesterday so I missed a day. Today going alright glad it is finally Easter and we can plant a garden full of fresh vegetables. Eek glad you checked in your new picture looks great. Chipgal

Well it is my turn to let you know what happened to me. I have been busy with taxes for all the properties my boss owns. It took longer this year because his father was in the hospital then died last Sunday. My job as bookkeeper for all the properties has been very hectic these two weeks. The funeral is tomorrow and things…

Myth, I'll cry with you :cry: (maybe that will help). Just do not lose your friend just because of a divorce, they need friends now more than ever. You aunt no longer is hurting and you should console your step father as much as possible. Thanks for letting us know how things are going. nicegetfit, I'm green with envy that…

Myth, Hope the Dr gives you the correct antidote for what ails you. I know when they call in the family the end is near, lost my grandmother in 1990 and they called my sister, but she arrived 3 hours after my grand mother died. It is a hole for a while and it never really fills back in. I'll keep you in my thoughts as you…

Myth, Glad you had a great trip with hubby. Hope you get to feeling better.:flowerforyou: Eek. Glad you are having a better week. What kind of concert band? Hope everyone has a great weekend ahead. :bigsmile: Chipgal

Where's Myth?!:huh: Welcome back Nicmc8. It is hard to mentally get through a set barrier. Mine seems to be 300. I get below and then go nuts and gain 5 pounds to go over again. The message board has helped I think I'll keep it off this time. Hope your doing well EEk. Glad to hear you needed smaller britches.:bigsmile:…

Thalia, the puppy will be an excuse to walk more and get out in the nice weather.:wink: Watching measurements I think is a better guage than the scale. I have lost several inches since Jan and my clothes look like clown outfits. :bigsmile: Hope everyone's week will bring more lost pounds. Chipgal

Turin, looked over your chart and I wonder if your body is thinking you are starving and the cells need to retain food and water? Myth, hows it going have not seen you lately? Thalia, hope your week went well.:bigsmile: Chipgal

Eek, I know what you mean life happens and I lose all motivation. I set a target date to start over and something happens to move date further out. Keeping up on my diary helps see why I haven't lost any weight on a given week. This is not just a diet it is a new way of life. Keep us posted if you need more motivation. I…

Glad to see every one. Just wish the rain and snow would go away so I could go back home and have internet. Dad and Mom have been feeding us every night and morning, (large meals) I put my foot down Monday and said people were holding me accountable and I must get back to eating right. So I bought several kinds of greens…

Hello everyone :bigsmile: It is snowing again here at the farm. I moved into town with my parents. This is the first day I've had internet. Thanks for starting a new topic. Weighed myself everyday and it helped keep me on track, Sat I was down another pound so it does help. Already had 2 salads this week and 2 fruit. Will…

2010-Part 2 will work for me. Not sure we get locked at 500, just noticed several topics were closed at 500. In a magazine, they recommended you weigh every day for a week while on a life changing eating habit to see how the body reacts with different foods and situations. Still think I'll change my weight on Saturday as…

Myth, my favorite is ice pops, they have 5 calories and not much else. We purchase them at WalMart near the ice cream. I like the orange and grape, my hubby eats the cherry. it is a nice desert that keeps me with in bounds. When I started losing weight we spent four hours shopping and reading labels. Now I mostly eat…

Welcome Demise this is a uplifting group of people on the same journey. We try to post often, but read everything. When Thalia started this topic in January I joined to have a dependable group to hold me accountable. The weekly chalenge has kept me attached. Having an ok week, decided to start looking at sodium this week…

Thanks Myth I needed a week to recoup. Welcome to Sara, and emilymdean and a1avonlady. (I'm 53 this year so I have you beat by a few years) I finally got my carbs down to 120g on Sunday and I had 3 salads and 5 fruit in the past week. Looking over my diaries most of my carbs are in snacks. Suggestions would be appreciated.…
