Well, I made it through the first of my family's xmas meals without too much damage...and all I ate today besides that meal was a Greek yogurt with stevia and my coffee. Now, I have to do it again tomorrow...no problem! :wink: And I got my big-minute workout done today! YAY! workout: 120 minutes (65-min walk and 55-min…

moderation......Moderation......MODERATION!!! dadgummit, I can do this!!!

Well, in all fairness to Brian, *I* was the one complaining about being so fat this past week. Between HUGE calorie intakes, massive amounts of sodium, and less water than usual, I am just bloated up like a blowfish...so, technically, he was just agreeing with me! ...just thought I'd give you a little context; didn't want…

Well, my 'personal' food thing will sound a little subjective, but *I* will know if I'm successful or not! For our family get-togethers today AND tomorrow, I will NOT over-eat...I plan to eat what is served AND even have dessert but NOT stuff myself (like I've been doing for the past several days.) After eating bad this…

Really reaching for encouragement today... THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!! (Brutally-honest hubby told me this morning that I *do* look a little "poochy!")

Happy Sunday, SharkBuddies! I say we give the challenge our all this week in honor of ALI!!! I hope you all have a great week! and for last week's points...55 :sad:

Bless your heart, Ali...I will pray for you too! :heart:

How's this for support? - No matter how bad you did this week, you did better than me! And, it's not looking up yet...I finally decided not to even log my food today. Lunch wasn't horrible, but would have been difficult to log, and we're going to Carrabba's (Italian) for supper. I looked up their nutrition info online to…

Friday AM... 65 minutes with Leslie...361 calories 8 minutes of stretching crappy weigh-in! Sorry I flunked this week...I hope y'all love me anyway! :flowerforyou: my computer won't let me input stuff on the chart right now!!! :explode:

Ha Melissa! It was gonna take more than luck for me! (like...a miracle!) 116 (up 3 pounds!) Why do I fluctuate sooooo much??? :sad:

Got it, Melissa!

I have no idea where all my pre-trip resolve went! I have eaten like a stinkin' little pig...and I had planned for today to be better because I knew the weigh-in was coming, but, noooo... Oh well, it's too late now; I'll have to face the consequences on the scale in the morning... At least we've been walking and walking…

"What you do today can improve all your tomorrows." Hope everybody has a GREAT day-before-the-weigh-in!!! :tongue: :noway: :flowerforyou:

Well, today's not over yet, but so far, I've done a lot better...got a lot of exercise and kept my eating in check...but it's early, and I may need *something* before I go to bed! (But, good heavens, restaurant food is soooo high in sodium; my weight is bound to be up this week!) :sad: Wednesday: workout: 120 min! (105 min…

Ali, I hope you're feeling better! :flowerforyou: And as far as your quote, it shouldn't be too hard for me to be better than I was yesterday...I was pretty bad! :noway: And I found this for today: "If you don't have what you want...WORK HARDER!" (I probably should read that once an hour while on this trip!)

Hello all...I'm finally settled at my in-laws in FL... The boys went out with the grandparents tonight, and Honey and I went out together...I have to admit, the food and drink (just two days into this trip) are more than I can deal with already! Actually, I seem to be having a much harder time with liquid calories - Long…

I forgot about my points yesterday...total 102. I can't look for a wonderful quote right now...on my son's iPad with limited time...but I'm thinking of you all and wishing you the best this week! I had a bad start yesterday...but today's a new day!

Yes! Afternoon coffee is a must-have for me! (Although today's won't help me any...eggnog latte at Starbuck's, and it's only the first day of my trip!)

I forgot, I wanted to let you guys know...We leave tomorrow for our 12-day trip to GA and FL to visit family for the holidays. I wrote and asked Sheri about temporarily amending my good/bad habits because they were not attainable while traveling. (I can't take my piano or painting supplies, and I can't be in bed before…

:smooched: There's my 'smack' to you guys this week! Have a GREAT week!

:smooched: There's my 'smack' to you guys this week! Have a GREAT week!

SHARKS ARE NUMBER ONE!!! Let's finish out this last three weeks strong! Here's my Sunday: workout: 60 minutes with Leslie...333 calories reps: 100

To address yo-yo weight loss...I've been reading lately trying to determine what my maintenance calories will need to be, and something has occurred to me - I am going to have to keep my calories low, ummmm...from now on! I know that's a big 'duh,' but in my mind weight loss has always seemed to be a fixed journey with a…

Here's my input, for what it's worth... If you've checked the scale and know it's right, that's all you can do! I say go with it... Two weeks ago, I weighed 120.2; this morning, 113...that's 7.2 pounds, and weight is *supposed* to come off slower when we get closer to our goal weight. I've read lots of times on this site…

We have such a GREAT team! I *love* that we have sooooo many posts, because it means that we communicate a lot with each other! I'm sure that contributes to our success! Saturday AM: workout: 35 min yoga...145 calories stretch: 5 min HIIT: 15 min I put my stuff on the chart...boy, I just made that minimum calorie burn by…

113 today... YAY...just YAY!

Friday: workout: 92 minutes - 50 with Jillian and 42 with Leslie...587 calories! stretch: 5 minutes HIIT: 15 minutes EM: 10 minutes - 5 rebounding and 5 doing a variety of reps just to get another 5 minutes in!

:heart: YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST!!! (Yes, I'm yelling, since I can't hug you!) Oh...and to 'hypallage,' we're supposed to be *afraid* of DOLPHINS? :laugh:

Well, Happy Friday, Sharks! The scale was (SURPRISINGLY) friendly this morning, so I'm pretty happy! As y'all know, I've missed some workouts this week so far, but I *did* manage to keep my eating in check, so I guess that helped. I'm still going to weigh in the morning, but honestly, I can't see it being better than…

Wednesday: I survived, AND I didn't kill anybody else...how do I enter THAT on the chart??? It *should* count for something! :laugh: Thursday: not much better...5 minutes of stretching and 5 minutes EM (arm work) Now, I've really got my work cut out for me Friday and Saturday to get all my requirements met! :noway:…
