Congrats Barlovo and Karen! Hope you feel better Cindy. I'm finally coming around. I'm off my partial BRAT diet and was able to cook myself brunch and dinner. Happy Bday Alice! Here's to an awesome week ladies!

Hello everyone I hope all is well. This week I only went to work three out of five days, thanks to the snow that hit our area. Temps are the coldest it's been in 20 years! Needless to say I'll be inside all weekend, yet again. I'm convinced I had a fever the other morning. First I was burning up then I got the chills and…

You go Liz and Cindy! B)

Let's try this again...... My goals are as follows for this week: Zumba 20 mins, 3 days Plank 10 sec, 3 reps Superman 5 sec, 3 reps Leg Lifts 10ea, 3 reps outter , 10ea, 3 reps inner Squats 10ea, 3 reps Push-ups 3ea, 3 reps On the floor, off the knees, correct form :# Right now I plan on combining Zumba and the floor…

Omg that's so funny Mystic. It's refreshing when we can laugh at our own shenanigans :) Hang in there, you'll get it. I hope everyone is doing well. Snow had finally hit VA. Working from home tomorrow. Today was weigh-in. I was worried because I was not on any kind of healthy eating this week. Even though stress got the…

You're doing the right thing Alice. Go with your gut and if it's not the one that means something better is in the horizon. Howdy Mystic! Karen hang in there. Have you been taking your measurements? Do you notice any changes in your body? Clothes fitting different? Tomorrow is weigh in day for me. I'm not going to kid…

Congrats Barlovo on the clean bill! Alice, I bet you're excited about the new place. Yikes Cindy! You guys can't catch a break from the white stuff. Karen you are stocked up and ready to go! I see you Grooszeczka ;) You ladies are awesome. Happy Vakentines Day to everyone.

Such an encouraging and awesome post Kassie! This site is beyond a life saver for me. You're right, having a great support system is one of the keys to success on this journey. :)

Very powerful Cindy! No excuses.

You ladies are killing it! I know I can get a Zumba workout and my challenge goals in between now and Mon. I will do this :)

Thanks Liz! I hope everyone is doing well today. One more day until the weekend B)

Thank you guys :) Alice, I'm not shutting down the grieving gates, just the emotional eating gates. I know it will take time for me to grieve and I'm ok with that. I'm not ok with stepping back into my old comfort zone. I can grieve without the pint of ice cream each night :# My coworker fought til the end and I will too.…

Thanks ladies! I really appreciate it, you guys are so awesome. I'm hanging in there and I'm not going to give up. It's like flood gates have opened but I'm shutting them down! I'm sad and that's okay, food isn't going to change anything in a positive way. I'm mustering up the courage to dust myself off to try try again.

Went to the memorial service today. It was a beautiful gathering, confirmation that he was was such a good guy. These last two days I've been "off" with healthy choices. I've just been in the dumps.

Yes you are! You got this!

My goals are as follows for this week: Zumba 20 mins, 3 days Plank 10 sec, 3 reps Superman 5 sec, 3 reps Leg Lifts 10ea, 3 reps outter , 10ea, 3 reps inner Squats 10ea, 3 reps Push-ups 3ea, 3 reps On the floor, off the knees, correct form :# Right now I plan on combining Zumba and the floor exercises.

You ladies have some great rewards! I love clothes and jewelry ;) Not sure how you ladies feel about thrif or consignment stores? As we get smaller ;) it could be worthwhile to check those out.

Happy Birthday Noodle!!!!! Enjoy yourself! Cindy, there are several trails in my area. I had a great walk today, the weather was so nice. I can't wait for warmer weather to really get here. Karen, don't stress yourself too much. This is a start of a new week!

Wow, that's a lot of snow! :\ I hope everyone is having a good weekend. Thanks for the well wishes, I'm doing better. Tomorrow it's supposed to be in the 60s, which can change in a heartbeat. If it is nice I'm going to go on a long walk. I think it'll do me good.

Thanks Mystic, so true it is a reminder that we're still here.

Thanks Mystic, so true it is a reminder that we're still here. Thanks Alice, this group is awesome!

Thanks ladies, I feel much better this morning. Funny thing is, I knew it wouldn't end well, sugar overload. My mind was made up, wanted it anyway. This will pass, today is a new day.

Oh man.....This isn't good. I'm still feeling down about my past coworker who passed this week. It's cold as hell and I wanted ice cream. Not a serving of ice cream.....oh no...... I stepped back into my old life and polished off a pint of ice cream in one sitting. Thankfully I stopped there, it could've gotten worse. So…

I'm so in :)

Thanks for the positive vibes Mystic. Ouch, Cindy! Hopefully all goes well and there won't be any infections. I'm feeling a bit better but I'm still down about a past coworkers death. I know he's in a better place but I can't help but to feel sad. Hope you all have a goodnight.

Lol Cindy! You guys are doing a great job! I love it when the young folks are passionate about good things. I started feeling tired at work today. Didn't help there was an all day meeting. I grabbed two small pieces of candy, jolly rancher and fruit gummies. Naturally, it didn't give me energy. Definitely didn't feel the…

:D I'm geeked!

Same here B)

I'm in! I think weekly challenges are a great way to go. Some ideas I have: -Exercise challenge: I'm struggling in this area. -Body positive challenge: Affirm positive things about ourselves. Just a few ideas. I can't wait!

Howdy ladies! I hope everyone had a great weekend! We're already in February! Karen the key is moderation. Today is a new day and a new opportunity to make better choices! Remember balance not perfection. Cindy wow, I didn't know that about BK.....ugh! I heard about Tyson before though. I need to stay mindful and make sure…
