Made it through one birthday party without eating pizza and cake !!! Yippee !!! Skipping the ladies luncheon tomorrow so I can spend the day with my husband. Then we have another b-day party tomorrow night. December is such a tough month. It's bad enough with all the Christmas parties and goodies, but those added b-day…

I'm with you, there is no way I can keep up with all the posts. I barely squeeze in enough time to log my calories/exercise and say a few words from time to time. Congrats on losing your goal weight !!! I'm also in a 12 but wanting to get into my old 8's and 10's from a couple of years ago. I think we can do that, don't…

:flowerforyou: joa827: It is definitely a lifestyle change, not a diet. My mindset is to stay away from bread, sweets and starchy foods. I'm not dieting, I'm eating things that aren't real fattening. I just keep telling myself that my body cannot tolerate certain foods without gaining weight. The 10lbs by Christmas was a…

Well after all the T-giving food and all the cranberry juice I've been drinking for my bladder infection, I managed to lose 1 lb in the last 2 weeks. I was disappointed when I stepped on the scale but then realized I should be happy that I haven't gained. :cry: :cry: :drinker: :drinker: So here's to starting over. However,…

Thanks Swissmiss for the suggestion ....... "About the bladder infection...I had my pharmacy recogment a pill that can be bought over the counter. I only took them for a few days but they worked. I peed a bright orange while on those pills. " I'll check with my pharmacist today. Peeing orange is better than gaining weight…

Happy December ladies !! Haven't weighed in since T-giving. My weigh in day is Friday, so I skipped it last week since I had just consumed mega food the day before. Hoping to have a good weigh in this week. Anyone have a solution for a bladder infection other than cranberry juice ? I've had an infection a couple of days…

Happy December ladies !! Barbiecat : Thanks for posting the new thread for December......I always get lost in cyberspace.....:) Don't know how I did for November yet, I weigh in on Friday. I skipped last Friday since it was the day after T-giving. This week I've been doing good on the food but have a feeling I won't be…

Well, I've been locked out for a few days and couldn't find the new thread....but I'm back. Hope all of you had a wonderful T-giving. Mine was great. My eating wasn't as bad as it has been in the past. However, since my weigh in day is Friday, I decided to skip last week and just concentrate on getting back on track.…

I agree with hajohnson24: log everything you eat and any exercise you do. I like the way it keeps track for you so you'll know when you've had all you can eat for the day. Good Luck !!

The way I found challenges, i.e. "Lose 10 lbs by Christmas" was by going to the Community tab at the top of the screen. There you will find lots of topics and groups to join. Just find something that interests you ,click on" and get started. Good Luck.

:brokenheart: :brokenheart: PolliesGirl: Sorry you've had a terrible week. Hope the weekend is better.

Susieque: Thanks for the info. I'll put them on my Christmas list.

:smile: :smile: joa827Here I am !! Been a crazy and busy work week. Haven't had time to even look at the computer much less log in........HOWEVER, I weighed in yesterday and lost 3 lbs since last Friday. I was really worried because a lady at work brought in home made peanut brittle one day and home made peanut butter…

Hey ladies !! Had another good weight loss week. Lost 3 lbs !!! I got on and off the scale several times to be sure and it recorded the same thing every time. I was a little worried about the weigh in because a lady came to work this week with home made peanut brittle one day and home made peanut butter chocolate chunk…

:tongue: :tongue: Suzieque: What is the name of the shoe that you bought that is supposed to be good for toning your muscles? I was intrigued by one of your posts that said your back side didn't look like cottage cheese any more. Thought I might put those shoes on my Christmas list.

Good morning ladies !! Just got back from church and getting ready to take a walk. No snow here....it's like a spring day....sunny and 70's. I admire all of you who are so committed to exercising, I have joined so many health clubs, fitness groups, aerobic classes, etc......but I never stick with it. I usually go for about…

:smile: Rosemary: Congrats on your son's wedding and have a wonderful time. :smile: Susan and Barb: With my lack of self control I never thought I'd see the 130's again. So believe me, if I did it, YOU can do it too. :smile: NanaPami: So people ACTUALLY USE those exercise rooms at the hotels ??? :laugh: :laugh: Good for…

:smile: :smile: Thanks everyone for the congrats.......it does feel great to be in the 130's. Had a good eating day today and also got in a 1/2 hr walk at lunch. Have a great weekend ladies. It is going to be sunny and 70's here in the Bluegrass State of KY. Think my husband and I will get the Harley out for a spin. Won't…

:smile: Birdie, thanks for the Census Info tip. I have a teenager in the house that would probably tell them anything they asked. I'll be sure to pass along the info.

Lost one pound this week so I'm in the 130's for the first time in 3 years !!! Feels so good. Will check in to read your posts later. I have to leave for work now but I was so excited when I stepped on the scale I just had to tell somebody !!! Talk later.....:smile: :smile:

Yeah !!! :happy: ::happy: :happy: I'm in the 130's for the first time in 3 years !!! :smile: Swissmiss: I am also down one pound this week. Feels good doesn't it ? :smile: Barbiecat: "Simply say no" works so well when you finally get your brain and your stomach on the same wave lenth. As for dinner at your friend's…

:smile: :smile: :smile: amcmamcm--Congrats on being back in the 150's. My weigh in day is tomorrow. Last Friday I weighed 140 so I'm hoping tomorrow I will be back in the 130's.

:smile:smile: :smile: BirdieM--I like your "simple" rules. Since I have no self control I also have to keep it "simple". I "simply" cannot have any food in the house that I will be tempted to over indulge in. I "simply" have to pack my low calorie lunch and take it with me to work. Going out to lunch with co-workers always…

Been eating well all week but not getting in much exercise. Just too darned tired after a full days work. Trying to walk at lunch if I don't have to work through it. We are so busy right now sometimes I just eat an apple and some almonds and keep on working.....no time to get out and enjoy the pretty weather. Tonight…

Keep up the good work ladies. I'm still in awe of those who workout so much !! Still getting in my daily walk and doing very well with the calorie intake now that the red velvet cake is gone.

Just a note to say hello and keep up the good work ladies. I'm extremely busy at work and exhausted when I get home so I haven't been taking the time to read everyone's posts. Hope I haven't missed anything urgent. I'm doing good with my eating this week and have been taking a walk everyday. Off to the shower and in bed…

I tried it for almost one month with absolutely no results. To make matters worse, I only ordered a trial bottle for 4.95 but they started charging my visa acct about every week for amounts over $80.00 each before I even finished the trial offer. I never received any more shipments but they charged my account for well over…

:bigsmile: Susieque: what are shapeups ? I've done pretty well this week. Actually lost 2 lbs. Been exhausted since I've been back from vacation and back on the job so I'm doing very little physical exercise.....maybe getting in a short walk, that's about it. I work as a temp and this job will be over in a couple of weeks…

OOooohhh, reading about all your exercise is making me tired !! I'm doing good to get in a walk every day. Haven't been able to get physically motivated since I got back from vacation. Too much time away from my routine I guess. :yawn: :yawn: I have been watching my food intake and doing very well, except for the last 2…
