Well team, I have some exciting news...I'm pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!! :blushing: So....my weight loss journey will be put on hold for a while. I plan on returning after the baby is born to lose the baby weight and the last 15 lbs to reach my goal weight. It has been a wonderful year and I have many of you to thank for my…

Regina, Sask. Look for the Crazy Canucks thread in Motivation message boards. Good Luck!

crazybee - sorry to hear your stressful weekend. Glad you were able to stay focussed on healthy eating. This week will be better - you are in control of your emotions. adopt4 - :devil: HALLOWEEN CANDY IS EVIL! lol Hurray for controlling your life. cc - my daughter is 3 and sleeps throught the night - you will get through…

adopt4 - wahooo. good for you! find what is going to work for you. take care :flowerforyou

We are glad you are back! :flowerforyou: give your body a suprise by eating something different for a few days. Start a new exercise ... variety is the spice of life :bigsmile:

Hurray for the newbies. Just take each day as it comes and try your best. Some of us have had months and months to work up to where we are. lulu - thanks for checking in. hope the dr appt/nutritionist are helpful. :glasses: Stay cool! skinnyme - I have a 3 yr old as well. It's hard to find the time to exercise but once my…

kristi - I have not reached that lovely milestone in life but is there a way to plan portion sizes of those comfort foods? If you know its "allowed", you can enjoy them guilt free. Just eat slowly and savor every bite because it takes your brain a while to get the message your stomache is sending. I'm sure you know all…

Nice to see some strangers have checked in. :smile: Ditto what pawprint said, each of us is on our own journey and there are bumps in the road at different times. If anyone WANTS to be reminded to get on track (ie. the slipper) we can do that. But if you are focussing on other things in life, we understand that too.…

thanks adopt4 and stillkristi - I totally agree to let others know we miss them. Already done mine.:happy: Today I went on the treadmill for 40 min and the elliptical for 20 = 600 calories. Proud of myself for sticking with the extra time and its my 4th workout this week. Sorry to hear some had a stressful week - hope next…

Thanks Kristi for starting the thread! :flowerforyou: Congrats to us who are here to post on a Friday. Hmmm...too many people struggling and are afraid to post???? I noticed we are one of the few threads that have continued this long. Why do so many people give up on caring for themselves? :mad: Is it time to start…

I haven't checked in with this group since the summer but I'm back on track and wanted to share it. I am down to 165 lbs today! (-2 lbs this week) See some familiar names so thought you might like to know I'm working hard here in Regina. I did behave myself for Thanksgiving and ate a small turkey dinner and one piece of…

healthymom - sw208/gw150/cw165 = -2 lbs holiday challenge: -5 lbs(15 lbs to go by Christmas) This week my success has been to drink my water first and then my lunch before the kids eat. By the time they are done I am not tempted to nibble on theirs. My body is on the low swing before TOM will arrive next week. If you are…

lorann - welcome back. this journey is all about your desire for change - lifestyle, thinking, actions. You've lost a fair amount of weight - I too struggle with staying on track when I see so much progress already. I decided I wouldn't be satisfied until I reached my goal. Then I could say "I'm done for good." Not, "I'll…

adopt4 - :sad: we do miss you!!!! What's up? Hey there are a lot of others missing too...where is everybody????? This is my night off from exercise but trying to eat healthy. Hubby made turkey casserole - it was really good!

Checking in - Happy Thanksgiving to the Canadian members of the team...I really tried to behave myself this year. I feel pretty good after 2 turkey dinners. Only 1 piece of pumpkin pie Sunday and one Monday. Hubby is a great help in this too. Went to the gym 2 days this week already. Working on week 4 of C25K. Did 60…

prayerful - thanks for letting us know what's up. You are an awesome athelete and an inspiration to all of us. Catch up when you get back! :flowerforyou: manda1111 - have a great weekend!

li4g&adopt4 - you ladies are too funny! Reporting my exercise for today: 1. C25K week 3: 5 minutes running x 5 = 40 minutes/400 calories. 2. Elliptical for 20 minutes = 200 calories Stayed to the plan for food today. Hubby made a stew in the slow cooker. It smelled yummy all day and there was just enough for 2 - so no…

Losingweightforme - I was thinking of you last weekend as I walked 5K. I still admire you for the 24 hr walk you did. You HAVE the strength to accomplish your goals, just stick with us. :flowerforyou: I took the night off for exercise to save my strength for tomorrow's run. Plus, I stayed on track with food even though I…

adopt4 - you may feel terrible, but you're still here. Hang in there! lulu - hurray for raising the bar! li4g - good job on wogging and healthy snacking :happy: anita - :drinker: you know what works for your body. good for you. there is not shortcuts/easy fixes...:sad: (some times I wish I could just skip to the end and be…

:smile: Walked 5K with my daughter in the Breast Cancer Run for the Cure. I will definately be running next year. It was great to see 2000 people out doing the same thing. Quite inspiring! We agreed to sign up for another walk next spring too.

Kristi – thanks for the encouragement. Being closer to my goal weight is great but very scary. There is no excuse not to lose the weight but it will be as hard as ever to stay focussed. Kudos to you for enjoying life – isn’t that why we all want to lose the weight in the first place???? Keep up the good work! Love your new…

Hello ladies, I am super excited to start a new training program with my mp3 player - it should speed up my wogging considerably. (kind of like couch25k with voice over to change your pace.) I have been eating more healthy lately but not logging it. Too lazy. I will weigh in this Friday to see where I'm at. Catch up on…

adopt4 - hurray for trying, that's the first step! What's with all the flat tires??? li4g - congrats for the job for your hubby and your freedom. I cant use working as an excuse because I just didn't feel like exercising the last several weeks. Yes I admit I'm addicted to sugar too...and junk. Ate chips while hubby was…
