Great job to all of the successful "Just Say No" people. The pad thai would be the hardest for me, too! I said no to homemade pecan caramels, chili cheese fritos, and party mix. I had a Christmas lunch with 4 of my sisters. It was fun and I made good choices at the restaurant. Happy crunching tomorrow (the sit-up…

Cherlou, as per your request, I have changed your weigh-in number from Tuesday. You have joined the losers list at #13, with a .40% loss. Great job! I'm sorry about the goal weight mistake. It was a mistake on my spreadsheet. I've changed it from the original 241 to 244 now, also as you requested. Thanks for the alert!

Hi Markei1:flowerforyou: , join now! Just post your current weight and the weight you'd like to be on Jan 5th. Then, check in daily and join the conversation(s). Look back for the current daily challenge. Then post your weigh-in results every Tuesday. Welcome to the group. You're going to love these supportive gals!

Wow! 15 losers this week! Congratulations to all! Spectacular. 1:flowerforyou: familygirl37167....-3.24% 2:flowerforyou: sunsama..............-2.56% 3:flowerforyou: ebh1024...............-1.95% 4:flowerforyou: jakstamp...............-1.92% 5:flowerforyou: Essence320........-1.90% 6:flowerforyou:…

Please let me know if there are any mistakes.

Thanks so much for your nice comments on the challenge chart. It's pretty LOUD, so you can't miss it! Easier, too when it ends up on the top of a page. I admit that I went a little crazy with the graphics. If I get a little space, I usually fill it up!

Hi Steph, best of luck to you on your last final tomorrow. It's hard to study when you're sick. Ugh! I hope you did well on your tests today. Earlier this week we had a water challenge day, trying to drink our entire 64 ounces. It was difficult, but making it a challenge really helped me get back on track to drink my water…

Did I go a little overboard with the graphics?:laugh: Thanks for your great suggestions. Keep them coming!

Kelynn, Thanks so much for the heads up. I wish you only the best! I will be with you in spirit as you sort out the cause of your symptoms. I hope you feel better soon. Don't be ridiculous about quitting. We all understand. Please know that you're always welcome here, and we'll do our best to keep you informed of future…

Broth's pretty salty. I bet it's all water? I hope you feel better soon.:flowerforyou:

Kellyn, don't be so hard on yourself! As far as numbers go, I think 143.8 sounds like a really nice number! :happy:

You guys are amazing! You make me want to try harder. Thank you so much for that! CW 152.4 Down from 152.8. Not so great, but still a loss. I'm like a slow air leak when it comes to weight loss. Have a great day, and go eat a piece of fruit! P.S. For those of us watching our carbs, you can either cut back a serving of…

Good luck to everyone on weigh in today. Even if your weight is up, please post. We've all been there - and we can all start over on a new week. Hopefully we have some losers. Go Fab (Forty) Fours (like cherlou said, right?) Eat your fruit! Read an earlier post to find out how many servings are right for your calorie…

I, too, am not sure about tomorrow's weigh in, but I'll face it and move on. :ohwell: 3 restaurant meals killed me this weekend. I'm heading out now for one last desperate attempt at the gym. Sorry for not being online much lately. I'm racing to get the Christmas shopping done. See you tomorrow,,,,,,,,uh, with cow bells…

this may help, too, since many of us are at different calorie levels: 1 serving equals: :heart: 1 medium apple, banana, orange, etc. :heart: 1/2 cup of chopped, cooked, or canned fruit :heart: 3/4 cup of 100% fruit juice

Rose, I'm so glad you're healthier now, and on track to fitness. That must have been so frustrating for you at your thinnest, not gaining any weight. Did you every find out what was wrong?

Bluenote, you're too cute!:laugh: ******************* I'd be happy to post our challenge suggestions. I could do a week at a time, so we could plan ahead, and then we'd know the challenge the first thing every the morning. It's been a little hard that way with the current format. I have an idea. On Tuesdays, when we post…

Me, too! :laugh: :laugh:

I thought that women couldn't bulk up with moderate weight lifting due to our hormones. I thought we needed steroids and/or amazingly heavy and frequent lifting to bulk up. Weight lifting helps our bones as well as our muscles, and allows us to burn calories at a higher rate. Verda, you don't look bulky. You look great. I…

GREAT suggestion. I can do that challenge. I have a few yoga videos, and I DO need to stretch. THANKS!

So, let's dig out the old exercise memories and get busy today! I used to play soccer, and I dove (springboard) in college. It would be fun to dive again, but I'd have to wait in line with all of the little kids during recreational swim at our local public swimming pool to use the diving board.:laugh: I've done it before,…

Sherry, Welcome! :flowerforyou: We're glad you found us! It's never too late to join our group. Just jump right in, post your current weight, and the weight you'd like to be on January 5th, 2010. Then, just stay in touch daily. We have a daily challenge that we take turns posting. Read back on previous posts for the…

Your story gave me goose bumps, and brought a joyful tear to my eye. How wonderful for you! Thanks for sharing. ************ I just finished all of my water. Not sure what the water bill will look like this month......I'm flushing the toilet like crazy! I have the in-laws' Christmas party tonight.....at a steak house (home…

AK, we're in this journey for the long run. There will be times when things beyond our control, such as injury or illness, hijack our nutrition and/or fitness goals. I guess we just try to do as much damage control as possible during that time. The most important thing is to get back on the bandwagon as soon as you see…

Updated chart for 12/8/09. Again, let me know if there are any mistakes. Thanks.

:flowerforyou: jseward:flowerforyou: Welcome! We're glad you're here. Thanks for telling us a little about yourself, and posting your weights. I hope you get your thyroid stuff sorted out soon. Hang in there! It can be a frustrating journey. Maybe you could just try to maintain this challenge? *********************…

Does anybody have a challenge for tomorrow? We should all be able to have a turn posting a challenge this session. I love these challenges. They help me focus on one day at a time.

Sorry, I don't use either. For today's challenge, I wanted to try Essence's salsa dancing. However, it wasn't offered on cable t.v., but Rhumba was there with Lisa Rinna. It was lots of fun, and learning the dance was a nice break from my usual routine. Thanks for the fun challenge! Susan

Katie, :flowerforyou: Welcome! :flowerforyou: We're glad you found us! It's never too late to join our group. Just jump right in, post your current weight, and the weight you'd like to be on January 5th, 2010 (I'll get it posted in the official chart soon). Then, just stay in touch.
