We can live vicariously through you! Enjoy your warmth! :teeth are chattering and I literally have a heating pad on my feet!:

GO GRANDMA! What a great result! I didn't think MILs could help that much. Great story and thanks for sharing!

Verda, Ahchoooo! I hope you feel better soon. I get so impatient when I am sick! :flowerforyou: :sick: :flowerforyou: It's only 17 degrees here in the morning with a little wind. It's been very dry and windy, with no snow or ice. Moisture is supposed to arrive Friday night. That should be in the form of ice. We do 'ice'…

SHRED IT, girlfriend! You should have some stored energy to burn!

Tryin!!!!!!! What great energy this group has!

My favorite exercise is the elliptical machine at the gym. Booooring, I know, but I log great results. I plug in my earphones, close my eyes, and let it rip. I REALLY want to try Essence's Salsa for my next workout! I'm feeling a little sexier lately. Hotchacha! No extra sugars today - easy for me since salt and fat are my…

Hi bluenote. Yes, our weigh in numbers are humbling, but it all starts with being honest with ourselves. I admire you, and we can all help support each other. We're kinda' winging it on the daily challenges. If you think of one tomorrow, post it. We have 38 people, so everyone can have a turn! Oh, and I think margaritas…

Essence320, Welcome! :flowerforyou: I was able to get you on the chart. I'm glad you're here! Thanks for posting. Susan

It's fun to summarize a list of losers for the week in the Biggest Loser fashion. Next Wednesday (after everyone weighs in), I'll post a list of those of us that lost weight that week, in the order of their % weight loss, just like on the Biggest Loser. There will be a Fab Four person in first place, but we'll all be…

Welcome wmb0124! :flowerforyou: I got you in the chart (see previous page). Your goal is very achievable, in time for your wedding. Congratulations! ************* On the sugar challenge: Perhaps no sugar is too difficult. Maybe we could avoid all excess sugars (candy, desserts, sugary drinks, etc.) for one day? What do you…

There are 36 of us! Woot! Let me know if there are any mistakes. Thanks!

It worked!!!

ashaver, it's so great to hear of your energy. Sorry about the sleep - is caffeine an issue? It's such a powerful drug for me, that I must avoid it. Also, a warm bath before bed helps. Oh, and a really boring book. Is it falling asleep that's hard - or staying asleep? shelly, I think that scrubbing the floor really counts!…

Patty09, Welcome to our group! :flowerforyou: What would you like to weigh in 4 weeks? A 1-2 pounds per week loss is recommended. You'll have to tell us more about life is Malaysia. Susan

Great idea, Verda. Thanks for the suggestion. Today's challenge, suggested by Cherlou, was just to post our real weight and 'fess up to reality! It's hard seeing that number in print. Tomorrow's challenge: No Sugar. Is everybody up for that challenge?

Kelynn - WELCOME!:flowerforyou: You're going to love this group. I'm glad you've decided to great treatment for your thyroid (we spoke about this a few months ago on another thread). My doc wants my TSH at 1.0. Best of luck to you. You're going to love feeling good. I always felt like such a failure before, now I feel…

I wondered what happened to that donut....Great job. When I blow that many calories, it better be the best donut in town! I bet that one wasn't even the perfect donut. Good luck at Tire Kingdom (I hate doing stuff like that, too, I don't like confrontation), and step away from the candy canes. I'd better get off the…

Good Morning Everyone! SW 152.8 GW 148.8 I'm going to try for one pound per week loss, considering the holiday food ahead. I'm trying to fit exercise into my life more regularly.
