:flowerforyou: Welcome Jeanne: This is the place to be for encouragement and accountability. This is a great group of women. Barbie: :flowerforyou: You are so good. I’m glad you have people with you who want to eat healthy. That makes it so much easier. However, you are so disciplined I doubt that you would give in to…

Not going to be able to go to Curves today. I made it 4 days this week so that's good for just getting over the "bug". I am finally feeling like my old self the last couple of days. I'm sooooooo glad. Have a great weekend. Go for a walk, hike or bike ride. Enjoy your day. Esther

Don't you just hate that flying food!? Have you seen the WW commercial about the hungry bug? I live that a lot with cravings. I have 12 nights behind me. I was tempted last night but looked at the clock and said to myself, "self, don't even think about it". So I didn't. Rainman: Hang in there. We've all had to start over…

Oh bummer. I have done that. Ours closes from 1-3 p.m. on Tuesday for their staff meetings. It seems like anytime I put it off on Tuesday that is the time I end up trying to go :grumble: I even showed up on a Saturday morning 1 hour before they opened.! Oh well, we're just too committed! :laugh: :laugh: At least you didn't…

Heather: Hang in there - don’t turn to food. Take a long hot bath or go for a walk but don’t turn to food. Barb: Awwww - you gave away my secret:laugh: I didn’t know that anyone else did it that way. It’s the ONLY way I can respond personally. I can’t remember in between reading and posting! Ellen: :flowerforyou: You’ll…

Leslier: It’ s never too late to start again. Glad to have you back. MissVita: I hear you girl. Last night I was ‘scouring’ the house looking for chocolate. Couldn’t find even ½ oz anywhere. It saved me not having it around. So I made it past that hurdle. :flowerforyou: Ildi: Today is a new day. Good for you not to give in…

Hi all, Glad you're back safe and sound georg. I really do enjoy outside activities as exercise rather than gyms but it's not always possible. Good job mkwood. You are so close to your goal aren't you? I'm still slowwwwwlllllyyyy moving to my goal. I've done pretty well this week with my eating and my exercise so I'm…

Hey gals, Must be the time for clouds and rain. It's pretty cloudy here too but no rain yet. I made it back to workout today and actually completed my workout. Monday I could only do half! I was exhausted but regained my energy quicker today. So...I'mmmmm baaaaack :laugh: It feels good to be able to move again! Anne: Be…

Oh my. Sounds miserable for your hubby! Hopefully the change in medication will help! I made it to curves and I made it the whole workout! I was pretty shaky and sweaty when I was done but I got my energy back much more quickly today than yesterday or Monday. So....I think I'm on my way to full recovery! Yippee!:happy:…

I'm feeling hungry but I'm pretty sure I can resist because I can fell all of you watching me :laugh: :laugh: Good luck all. I'll check in tomorrow morning. Esther

That sounds like fun. Hopefully the weather will cooperate too! I'm going to curves again tomorrow morning. I didn't go this morning because I knew I would need to mow the lawn and get things caught up here and didn't think I had the energy to do both. I think I was right because I have been pretty week after mowing the…

Welcome kgrc. Never to late to join in. ildi: Two more pounds to your goal? You go girl. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: That is awesome. Zaza: Get yourself back together. Sounds like you have been spreading yourself out too thin. Day 8 down for me as well. I think I reported that last night though :blushing: Have a great…

Marie: Good for you. Isn't it encouraging when someone notices! That gives a person so much more motivation I think. It does me anyway. I think I'm going to have to try this Biggest Loser DVD! I hope I don't trip over my own feet and break a leg! Happy Tuesday. Esther

That is a great outlook. Keep that goal in sight and you'll succeed. Any loss is a good loss! Esther

My prayers are with you. This is a tough stage of life. For our parents and for us. Both my parents are gone but my hubbys are still alive and seem to be in great health. Being in their late 70's early 80's I know the time will be coming sooner that we would like. i'll be thinking of you Lynn. Hang in there and remember to…

Day 8 down - although it's not my cutoff time I feel pretty satisfied and will fight any temptation tonight!

Thanks. I'll keep on trying - I just really want to get back to my 100% workout and enjoying it again. Where are you going on vacation next month? Esther

Susan: :laugh: :laugh: I liked your comment on your figure. That's the area I lose first :frown: I would like to keep my breast size and lose everywhere else :laugh: How much did you lose this last week? Do you have to be coordinated to do the Biggest Loser dvd? I'm not:wink: I just finished doing 2 hours of yard work.…

I only made it around 1 time and 3 machines. I just didn't have the energy to keep going after being sick for a week. Then I worked in the yard (slowly:indifferent: ) for 2 hours. Now, after a good soak in the tub and lunch down me I'm relaxing. HOpefully I didn't overdo:tongue: Have a great day, Esther

Vicki: I can relate to the laying awake thinking about all the things that need to be done before you leave on a trip. Sometimes I just get up and do 'something' instead of wasting my time lying awake in bed. Hope you have a great trip. It sounds fun. momof10: Keep it up girl. :flowerforyou: We all need to do what's best…

phatphanny: I know where you're at because I've been there recently. Then being sick didn't help to keep me on track. Today is a NEW DAY for a NEW BEGINNING. Let's do this girl. You are my competition in this challenge :happy: 7 days down. Esther

Hey girls where are you? Hope you had a great weekend. Let us know how you're doing on your workouts. Esther

I just finished my bowl of fresh strawberries for dessert and I know I'm done for the night so - I'm counting tonight now....7 days down for me.

Smart planning Debbie. I have figured out my menu for today and am working on tomorrows. I have to go to the store to get the necessary items though. On water intake: I find that I can drink more through a straw. I bought a stainless steel water bottle at a clearance sale that has a straw and a flip top opening. I drink a…

I think I"m doing better again today. However, I didn't wake up with a lot of energy yet. May put off the gym and just go for a slower paced walk today. Barbie: I think when people say things like that they are jealous. They know that they should probably be right there with you but for whatever reason choose not to. You…

Welcome Martha. Sounds like you are making great progress in such a short time. I don't know how much you are wanting to lose but I know that any weight loss improves our health. I heard that 1 pound of weight lost relieves 7 pounds of pressure on our joints?? (don't quote me on that but I[m pretty sure that's right). So,…

Day 5 down for me. I wish eating the right foods would come so easy for me! Today is a new day and I'm going to start eating healthy beginning today. Have a good weekend everyone Esther

I AM among the living! For a couple of days I wondered :laugh: This bug got me down harder than I thought it would. I'm starting to feel a little better finally. I haven't worked out since Monday. Maybe tomorrow morning I'll be able to get up and go again. We had a thunder storm last night also - as well as a tornado…

Good job. I haven't been since Monday. This bug has really taken all of my energy out of me. I"m going to try to go tomorrow morning. I don't think I'll use my card though because I know that I'll be moving slow and maybe not even be able to make the two times around. We'll see how I sleep tonight :ohwell: Have a great…

4 down for me.
