In the classes where we use steps, and the first people into the room space their steps so far apart, even though they KNOW there are a lot of other people that need to fit in. And I don't mean people who come in late...just people who aren't pushing to get in the room first. Then they give you dirty looks when you try to…

No posts since Friday? Where is everybody????:sad:

Hey everyone! I had a small loss today - just a part of what I gained over the holidays. I have been back on track since Tuesday - and I am in it for the long haul. I have to get back to drinking more water. I have been exercising, although not the mini challenges. I'll have to see if I can get motivated for those. I…

Back to my routine tomorrow...can't wait! :happy:

Hello to all my Christmas Challenge friends, and hello to all the new Foxy members. I have been a bit demotivated lately, and it shows. But it is definitely time to get back on track. If any of the new members want to add me, please feel free. I'm sure I'll be adding a lot of you as time goes on. A little about me: I am…

I am getting closer to being ready for Christmas. I just have one quick shopping trip and then I will be done with that. I have some wrapping already done, but still some to go. The decorations are done. I don't do a lot of baking, but I WILL bake a couple of kinds of cookies and make some candy. And then I have Christmas…

I am here! Not looking forward to tomorrow. Had a couple of bad days. A table full of treat right outside my office door at work - yum! And yesterday was the catered holiday lunch. And pizza and wings for dinner today - it was a must since my daughter arrived home from grad school and it is a "first night home" tradition -…

I'd give it a shot...I have been drifting for the past few weeks but I am determined to hit it hard in January!

I re-lost the pound I gained last week, so I am at 150 even again.....just wish I could get down a few more pounds so I am not right at the 150 mark all the time. I know I need to work harder, but for the next few weels I think it will be all I can do to maintain. We'll see. :bigsmile:

Hey everyone - just sating hello. Haven't been on much - hoping for a small loss tomorrow....just trying to hang in there for now. Glad to see the "core" group is still faithful to all the challenges. Wish I could motivate myself for those. :sad:

My plan is to TRY to not go overboard. I am going to continue to drink more water (which I have been doing since started this challenge). I am going to get to the gym twice a week, ride my exercise bike on the days when I don't go to gym, and try really hard to get out for my 30 minute walk at lunchtime everyday, even…

I am going to admit - this challenge has lost some of its luster for me....not that it is anything that any YOU have done, or could have done differently. But "where I am at" right now is wavering between just trying to maintain my weight and trying to lose an additional 5 pounds or so. So it has been hard for me to get…

Congratulations on no gain for your birthday week!

Glad everyone is sounding so motivation. YAY! My computer has been really slow lately, and I actually couldn't get on this site earlier, so I am slacking a bit with my comments, BUT I am still here. Hope to stay on track for the rest of this week. Hope everyone else does too. :smile:

Thanks for the encouraging words - I ate a lot but not as much as in past years....I will be fine within a couple of days. :blushing:

You know what stinks? I am having a big Thanksgiving dinner later today. I know that it will be relatively healthy - me and my two sisters will do our best to make lighter versions of the family favorites. I will will TRY to make good choices - only sampling the things I love and don't have very often. But even so, with a…

Lisa - there is still time left. You can DO it! We all just need a little push and we will get there. :bigsmile:

Hi - Just wanted everyone to know that I plan to weigh in on Thursday morning this week, instead of Friday, which is the day after Thanksgiving here. Hope that's OK. Also, I haven't updated the spreadsheet because for some reason I can't access it from my work computer, and I keep forgetting when I am at home. I'll try to…

This post was supposed to be a quote for pinkakira1, but I forgot to quote.

So sorry to hear your sad news, :flowerforyou: As far as the travel, just try MOVING when you can. Walk, walk walk - whenever and wherever you can. That's about the best you can do when on a road trip. :sad:

No loss for me this week, but only .5 of a gain, so I am OK with that. I've been pretty good, but not great, so it is about what I expected. The aggravating part is that my scale is one of those "doctor's" scales, with the weight that slides. (It is a smaller version, not actually like the one at the doctor's office). But…

Great attitudes, everyone! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Come on! We can do it!!

As long as you (and all of us) keep comin' back!! :flowerforyou:

hey everyone - hope you are all feeling motivated this week. Only a couple more days until weigh in. So far I am holding steady so I need a little push to show a loss on Friday. I usually go to zumba on Wednesdays but I have a hair cut appointment after work so I'll miss class. I've have to make it up somehow. :)

Hey everyone - I know I have been MIA for awhile now. Last Thursday I had a "happy hour" after work, and when I DID get home, I still had to get ready for a little mini vacation. I was gone all day Friday and Saturday, and then Sunday I had to catch up on my normal weekend chores PLUS it was my week to volunteer at our…

Has anyone taken their measurements lately? I haven't, so I was just curious. I know we have all been tracking our weight. I lost a little bit but have stalled. Still, I am getting to the gym a little more often soI am hoping that has helped. I know so many of you have been knocking it out of the park with the exercise, so…

How's everyone doing with the weekly challenges? I have been good with the not eating after 7:00 pm (although Saturday it was a little past 7:00 because we went to a restaurant and not only did we have to wait about 35 minutes to get seated, but then the service was so slow....but it was dinner, so I figure that is OK). I…

Hey everyone - just wanted to check in and encourage everyone to put the weekend behind them and really give it all you've got for the next five days. We don't have too many weeks left before "the holidays" so we need to make the most of it NOW!! Let's go!!:bigsmile:

Congratulations to all of you LOSERS out there! :laugh: I stayed the same this week so I really need to step it up this week. I'm not eating any junk this week and not eating after 7:00. That's gonna be hard for me, but I gotta do it. Well - I already logged my exercise (stationary bike) so I guess I better go do it.…

:noway:
