Wow :noway: Jacque. I guess thanks for giving me the heads up on how much all that is going to cost me in the future. As many of you know I am also a single mom to a wonderful 5 year old boy. He is just finishing t-ball and now wants to do Soccer. For t-ball we qualified for a full scholarship. I got the soccer info to…

I'm here. I have just been really busy lately and been pretty swamped at work. Maybe what we can do is just have a chart for the greenies that want to be included in it. It is really time consuming to do everyones expecially 4 weeks ago when I did it. It seems like our numbers have really dropped off again. Is anyone else…

Happy b-day missheidi! Hope you feel better jacque! Sounds like no one really cares either way about the chart so I am not going to update it. Well Hope you all have a great day! I have a day off work so little man and I are going to finish cleaning today and maybe have a play date with one of his friends. Talk to you…

Ohh Vita that was too funny. I needed that this afternoon. We all have weeks like that. You are probably just retaining a little water this week. Keep up the good work and next week it should be gone and hopefully plus some. I know I can go up and down 5 lbs a week just because of water!

I'm glad to see all the losses this week. I gained. Thank goodness my scale remembers the last weigh in otherwise I wouldn't be able to post the correct amount for this week. Way to early when I weighed in today. So I will post it later tonight. I'm not upset with my gain because I know exactly what I did wrong and know I…

Jacque~ that is awesome that they finally had salad. Wish I had that. I had a peanut butter and Honey sandwich with honey that I bought at the farmers market and 1 serving of chex mix. I am really proud of my self. I bought my son some snacks for school and before digging in I measured out 1 serving and put in in Baggies.…

I'm here to just really busy and really stressed out. Totally fell into my old habits the last few days and am trying really hard to turn it around. I never realized how much bad food I ate when I was stressed. So here is my commitment to the Greenies that today is the day that I turn things around again. I guess I was…

:WTG Jacque!!!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou: It really sounds like the free lunches are a hard spot for you. Keep up the great work and the pounds will continue to melt off!

Christie~ I am going to Target tonight and am going to have to look for the apple one. Thanks for the info!!

Hey Greenies. Sorry I was MIA all weekend. I did really well with my eating and excercise this weekend. Weekends aren't as much of a challenge for me like they were when I started this in Jan. I think I am finally making some real lifestyle changes. Well for the excercise challenge I am way over for the week. I am finding…

Well I had a huge loss this week But that doesn't surprise me with how active I was last weekend and then How sick I got. Anyways I lost 4 lbs this week and am down to 209.4.

That sounds like a great challenge.

MissVitaVonCherry~ I am glad to hear you are feeling better today and are ready to get back at it.

Jacque~ Some days I have to do that too! I do cme back much more refreshed and with alot more patientce. Kitn~ My 5 year old loves to go for walks with me. When his legs tucker out I give him a piggy back ride. This lets us go farther and gives me a little more of a burn. Well I will not be excercising for at least the…

OK back to work after a crazy busy weekend. Sounds like everyone had a lot of ups and downs. I had more ups than downs I could have eaten better but I'm not going to get down about it because I know I was under my cals with all my exercise. This weekend my son and I started some running. He wants to run a whole mile with…

Hey Greenies~ I quickly skimmed through the posts but am way to tired to make the updates to the chart so I will do them tomorrow. With all my outings today to the farmers market and arboretum I walked about 15 miles. Porka~ I also had the 2 lb gain and it is tough to see but I think seeing that makes us push harder the…

Ok after about 2.5 hours of excel the chart is finally done with the numbers that have been posted so far. I didn't realize I don't think I have ever used excel until now. But I think I have it all down now. Should be much easier and quicker from here on out. Here is the chart. positive numbers and percentages are gains…

Jacque~That is awesome!! I'm proud of you for not going over!:drinker:

That's ok:smile: Purrr I wouldn't be any good at 5 am. Do you normally get up that early? I don't get up until 6-6:30 am

Purrr~ This weeks challenge is going to be getting your water in. I am going t try and stay on top of getting my fruit in though.

Purrr...So glad to hear from you. 60 lbs is absolutely amazing. I am so glad you are back. I loved hearing your up and downs. Hearing from others makes me feel more normal in this journey. I am glad you posted a weight as I am just updating the chart now so I will get you added in. Well off to figure out how to add in some…

Welocme Purple light! Yep you can count it.

My problem is the total opposite. I drink all day long but have gone back to some of my old habits like drinking soda. I really did have more energy and didn't tire out as easily when I wasn't drinking soda.

The challenges don't build on eachother. Each week it is something new. Personally I try and keep going with the challenges. Expecially the food and water ones. To try and improve my lifestyle. I also will be attempting to do all three at the same time.

Looks like everyone has had a great week so far. I'm excited to see some more numbers come in. missheidi~ Those last 10 lbs people say are always the hardest to get off. Just stick with your program and they will come off. jacque509~3.4 lb loss that is awesome. oh and I had 2-3 servings of fruit all the days except one.…

Oh and I will update the chart later tonight and post it for everyone to see the results.

Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I got the day off work last minute and went on a field trip to the zoo with my son. When I got home I was just exhausted and we still had t-ball to go to. The other little boy that was in our group was just a mean little bully that didn't listen to anything I said. He then picked a fight with…

I have seen different groups surface every now and then on here that are for that. I always want to join them but think but I end up procrastinating and forgetting until it surfaces again. I really want to do all three. I think we should start it as a bonus challenge for those who want to.

Wow can't believe how much of a difference there is. Keep up the great work!

Well I got my 2 servings of fruit in yesterday. Boy was it hot here. We shattered our old record high of 87 and hit 97 degrees yesterday. Too hot for me to get any motivation to go to the gym or go walking. I did however spend my whole night outside doing some yard work. Today is supposed to be 94 and windy so I am…
