Good job, Cheryl :) And again, it's great to have you back with us :) Great job sticking with your plans and not getting derailed with what was going on :) I had established my weigh in day as Wed so that I could do the last chance workout with BL on Tues and also because I am supposed to get off work early on Wed but then…

I am here... late but present :) Really hard week. Really really hard week with a LOT of stress, way too many long hours, irregular meal times, grabbing what I could when I could and falling totally off my plans. Getting up between 5:15-5:30, heading out to work by 7 most days and getting home between 7-8 on several of…

yeah! great loss :)
-
good to see you here, Cheryl!!

Sarah, hope you can get your nights back to nights. Bummer when one wakes during the night and can't get back to sleep. Tomorrow will be one week from the start of our no added sugar challenge. It may be the lack of added sugar or it may be the fact that the sodium from this week's pizza finally passed but I was down one…

well, here I am, the straggler of the group. Forgot to wear my fitbit twice, have been utterly swamped at work and had little to no time for exercise before falling into bed at night. Hopefully next week will be a better week, though I know ahead of time Mon and Tues are going to be pretty tough. It is what it is... I'm…

my hardest hidden sugar items to eliminate will be mayo (I eat it occas with my tuna or deviled eggs {breakfast} ) and the not so hidden sugar in the light yogurt that I use to make my breakfast porridge. I still have 2 already made that I really don't want to throw out so I think I'll eat them and then no more. I'm lucky…

I was going to add you on facebook but it gave me a bunch of people with the same name and I didn't know which to choose. Good to see you back...
-
oh, I also meant to say hi to you, Sarah. And I watched the sugar video this morning- very good...
-
Congrats on the weight loss, Kelly. You are doing so well. Showing the rest of us up ;) :) I have got to get back on track. I have been doing well at home but failed to resist the cookies and donuts that were at the office last week. Sigh... and I KNOW I should be watching my sugar intake and I did it anyways :( Shame on…
-
Happy new year back atcha, Sarah, but I won't claim a weight loss for this week since I'm still up 4 lbs from before Christmas. Somehow it doesn't seem a victory to lose the same pounds over again ;) :) I'll claim success when I am back to my preChristmas weight of 175 again... goals for activity will be met today, as well…
-
oh my.... too many goodies, too many grueling 10 hr days at work, no added exercise and the scale shows it. uggh. SW: 198 LW:180.8 TW: 179.8 Let's see, last post, I mentioned gaining 5 lbs overnight after the office pot luck. Well, the weight has been up and down as the sodium level fluctuates but I am still holding onto…

hugs to you, Sarah, for all you do and all the ways you take care of those around you. You have the heart of a servant, though I'm sure it's not easy on you. I hope the time at your mom's will go well- how lucky her caregivers are that you will step in and allow them to have what is probably much needed time off, too. Life…
-
oh, Sheesh, you spoke too soon, LOL. This week has been brutal and I've had a real struggle getting logged in and missed it a couple days, having to go back and recreate it the best I could. I was doing well and then we had the office pot luck/gift exchange (which included ham along with the taco salad that I brought), and…
-
Sarah, you are so attentive :) Thanks for catching the increased number and giving a shout out of welcome :) I'd like to join her in saying welcome to the new members in the group. We hope that you will feel comfortable joining the chatter and weigh ins with us. I use a fit bit and am the straggler in the weighins, posting…

Just checking in before the week ends altogether... it has been a bear of a week and I am exhausted. I am heading to bed after this posting. We had the office party last Sunday (at a really nice restaurant) and the office pot luck gift exchange today. I've tried to eat healthy and contributed a chicken taco salad to lunch…
-
gee, how scary for your daughter...glad she wasn't hurt worse. Stupid driver not paying any attention >:( and what a pile of stress with everything else going on in your life, both happy and not. Sorry to hear about your lump but glad it was discovered and you will be able to get it checkrd out. Hoping for a good report.…
-
Sarah, I didn't consider it a problem to see the stats "mushed" like that. You did very well this past week :) Congratulations and good luck this coming weekend. You did better than I did in spite of trying to watch what I was eating. My carbs and calories were up and so was my weight. I went from average 907 net calories…
-
I totally understand. There's very little time between getting home and going to bed for me and I'm so tired by then that stepping is the last thing I want to do. I don't have a treadmill so I'll often do my steps to Leslie Sansone's DVD. The time goes by quickly, it's a brisk "walk in place" in my living room and I don't…
-
that's such a tiny difference, Kelly, that it could just be a little retained fluid and will probably be gone tomorrow. Now the extra food, well... I can't say a thing as I have that same issue and will be facing many hard decisions over the next several weeks. We've gotta stay strong... either turn the food away or eat it…
-
Work has been pretty tough this week, allowing little time at home but what else is new? I had to get my oil changed and tires rotated on the way home and had not prepared anything for supper in the lunchbox, leading me to choose between Kentucky Fried, Taco Bell and Dunkin Donuts... so I chose Kentucky Fried but the carbs…
-
quick note from me... Sheesh, sorry for your dil's loss. Good that they were able to stop in for a visit and early Thanksgiving with you though. Yeah for all the family time you are getting. I hope you have a marvelous time. Lois, I've gotten a big kick out of this last challenge, watching all of you and seeing how great…
-
work has been a bear, one gal out sick so we are not just slammed but short staffed as well. Ugh. No sign of it letting up until around March or April and then we will be in the registration for next year school physicals, LOL. It's always demanding but so much worse in the fall/winter when we have so many sick kids that…
-
Sarah, I hear you. There are days like this. I left the house this morning at 7:15 and I am just now home- at 7:00p. I sat at my desk all day, totally slammed with more phone calls than I could handle an am utterly exhausted. And I have yet to do my steps or my exercise and all I want to do is climb into bed. I will think…
-
Kelly, good idea to have a charger both at home and at work :) Good move on your part. Sheesh... taking your suggestion, put on some good music and spend some exercise time dancing. See if you can't make an impromtu cardio workout while doing some dance moves... after all, isn't that pretty much all there is to zumba? Ever…
-
Sarah, if all you are doing is walking, you may be losing muscle everywhere else, or you simply may not have the general muscle thru your body to be burning what your little device is estimating you are burning. Add some weight training to your arms and core. Elastic resistance bands, hand weights, what ever. Look up some…
-
this week's chatter has been nice :) Good to hear everyone getting motivated again- just remember talking about it isn't the same as doing it :wink: :smile: I am completely off my routine this week from being sick and I don't see anything changing for a few more days. I feel pretty miserable and when I woke up this…
-
keeping on, one day at a time is how we make those mini goals :) LW 179.0, TW 178.8 not much of a loss but still a loss which is good considering the knee seems more swollen again and I have a cold with the accompanying congestion. That has to acct for some water weight, imo so when I am feeling better, maybe I'll see a…
-
Well, I stayed completely away from the candies (didn't even buy it) but we had a pot luck meal for the two floats that were helping out at the office while 2 regular gals were out- a thank you/good bye meal. Ate fairly good except I did eat too much and it was loaded with more salt than I had expected. I was NOT good…
-
got to keep it short since I posted in the other thread... just not enough hours in the day and I need to head in to work early to finish what I didn't have time to finish yesterday before today gets started. Uggh. Should improve soon though... I hope. Last wt= 180.2, TW=179.0 reflecting 1.2 lbs. Happy with that and intend…
