:smooched: thanks Jeannie

:smooched: thanks Bobbi

:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: You are my inspiration Marla <<hugs>> thanks for the Woots Marla and Sara - it means a lot to me. Tammy - thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery for your husband Amanda - AMANDA!!!!! good to see you girl... Everyone else - stay warm and safe.. Janie

So I know the results will come out tomorrow, and mine will not be looking good, but I have to report that my scale is on the fritz. By my scale I was up .5 pounds - very disappointing considering the workouts I did this week. The scale at the gym however, had me at a 2.8 pound loss!! Can I get a WOOT WOOT!!! I will be…

Marla + Andrew = evil ... :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil:

:grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :sad: :sad: :sad: :grumble: :grumble: :angry: :explode: :explode: So very unhappy with weigh in this morning - busting my butt, and I get a gain for all my efforts.. Going to go cry in my coffee... later gators...

Lori - i love your kitchen too - looks great... Jeannie - I have a tear it down guy, but he is slow on the fix it.. :grumble: :grumble: this is why you will never see pictures of my house online..:laugh: :laugh:

Bobbi - so glad you are OK. Cold is not fun - and no power is very scary. Glad you had a place to stay and that you are back in business at your own home now. Lori - resist, resist!!! I know how you feel though - I do the same thing. Hang in there.

Good luck Andrew and Beth - you are both amazing and so worthy of the attention you are getting today. Thanks so much for being a such a great example for the team. :smooched: :heart: Marla - I am so glad you are getting results from the veggie juice, but also glad you got some solid food last night. Enjoy, my friend. For…

Mee too - I'm a stalker... :devil: :devil: :devil: Mostly because my job is too crazy to allow me time to actually type anything...:grumble:

Raising Arizona with Nicolas Cage - one of my all time favorite LMAO movies - must watch.. the table looks great - hope to donate more tonage next week...

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ..and then you tried to steal a baby from a rich couple that had too many!!! I love that movie.. you crack me up Batman....

Lori - congratulations!! What exciting news.... Love the baby ticker!!

DITTO - although it is a bit of a love/hate relationship - Damn scale!!

I go along with what others have said. Another thing I have tried is to keep my hands busy. It is hard to eat when you are knitting, embroidering, or doing a puzzle - also helps with the boredom.

Hi Tanya, Just my opinion, and I'm sure there will be others. I have the Shred video, but I don't use it as the 30-day program (which I think has you do every day). I use it as an alternative to other exercises. This probably explains why I have never progressed off Level 1, but there you have it. See how you like it. It…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: only time to lurk today, but had to respond to that one - from one water retainer to the others...

I'm good - just too crazy busy to communicate well. Darn work - darn losing lottery tickets ... How are you doing?

No worries Sara - I can't keep up anymore either.

:yawn: :yawn: :yawn: Good afternoon friends.. I'm ready for a nap - just like every other afternoon.. How's the gang?

WOOT WOOT !!!!!!!! YOU ROCK Bobbi!!!!!! Jeannie - can you add some awesome smilies? *whispers* I am at work and they are watching me...

*putting on my negotiating cap* How about 5 1-minute intervals of squats placed throughout the day, and I still try to beat your number? :devil: :devil: :drinker: :drinker:

For all the right (wrong) reasons (stress, holidays, holiday stress), I had fallen off the exercise wagon. I got started with a bang after the new year, but started getting sick and achy like I had the flu. I logged on the Black Team site to vent about my bad luck, and a wonderful person with the user name "arewethereyet"…

That is soo wrong... but talk about motivation.

Hi Friends.. Marla - thank goodness you are done. I know where you are coming from from my medical writing days. Someday we should chat about how badly MDs write. We could write a book. Andrew - hope you are feeling better soon.. poor Batguy.. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Tamara - sorry for your loss. This is a difficult…

thanks Jeannie - I knew there had to be a rationale reason. I've been at the good place before (not that long ago) - I'm just so wimpy about the yuckie place. Am drinking like a fish and getting right back to the workouts. Thanks for the pep talk - that's why I love you guys so much.. :flowerforyou: :smooched:…

Good morning friends. Beth - great news on your grandmother. I am so glad it all went well and you have more time. Will keep her in my prayers for a speedy recovery. Amanda - my prayers for your little one and family. Stay strong - you are awesome and I know you will find a way through this (without the comfort food). Take…

Thank you fearless leader.. Every single portion controlled morsel will go into my log - and I will drink at least 8 glasses of water a day - and I will limit sweets.. Thanks for all your work on this Andrew - weigh in coming tomorrow morning.

My easy white fish meal is: 1. any white fish (cod is great) 2. a can of stewed or diced tomatoes (any kind you like) add to casserole dish and bake at 350 for around 20-30 minutes (depending on how thick the fish is) Not only easy and yummy, but really good for you (and the tomatoes keep the fish from drying out). ENJOY!!

Awesome spreadsheet Andrew - gotham would be proud. Gotta go drink some water.. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:…
