MissVita - I just wanted to tell you how excited I am for you to be giving up smoking! That is awesome. Any secrets? My stepdaughter keeps saying "this on is my last" but then it isn't. I know she wants to but they really have a hold on her! Day 3 down. Keep it up everyone! Esther

I am drinking water. Not so much on the exercise though. I have no energy :frown:

I can also give "the look" if you get off track :laugh:

I agree - find a supportive group of friends to hang out with. Maybe they are jealous and know that you are doing a good thing for yourself? Do what's best for YOU! No one else can do it for you:happy:

How long have you been on a (I don't like this word) diet? I like to say a healthier eating plan rather than diet :happy: Are you exercising? Are you eating your calories burned? Are you drinking water? Those are all important. Hang in there - you can do it.

Great information. Thanks

Sorry - I missed welcoming you on my post. This is a fun group of ladies and they "Care" about each other. It's a great support for me. Esther

Glad you got back to Curves. Good for you. It's tough when you first go back huh? I was going to go this morning but my nose just keeps running and I'm sneezing like crazy. Don't think they really want to see me today. :ohwell: Maybe tomorrow.

Yes, it would be funnier if it weren't so close to being the truth :wink: Good job on turning away from temptation. This thread really does keep me from eating past my cutoff time. I see all of you 'watching' me! :glasses: (that's me in disquise :happy: )

Good morning my cyber friends: Anne: You are always so positive. You are right, you can still do the exercise videos and the walking while being careful. It is a praise that your eyes are getting better. Keep up the positive attitude. I hope you can avoid surgery. Debbie: You use your free time so efficiently!…

Day 2 down. zaza: I have been so bad. I have not been feeling well but that isn't a good reason to eat everything that isn't nailed down:angry: I have to get back on track. At least I am sticking to the cutoff time....maybe cuz there isn't anything left to eat in the house :laugh: Have a great day Esther

Day one down for me as well.

Good morning ladies: Momo10 - WOW, that's a LOT of lettuce! But, if you have that many kids I understand! I come from a large family and we had our own garden, farm animals for milk, eggs and meat! It's the only way when you have lots of mouths to feed! :laugh: Thanks Marie. I'm still feeling puny and did not go to the gym…

So, do they allow workout calories to be eaten or not? If I burn 600 on the machines and only eat 1200 that doesn't leave much for my body to live on for the day? Thanks Esther

I'm feeling crudy and it's my cutoff time so I'm going to go to bed. Hopefully will feel better in the morning! Have a great evening everyone. Esther

Now, that's tricky considering where you live !:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hope you feel better quickly. Yes, that bug does seem to hit you hard. I have been blessed with it as well. It hit me Sunday morning. I"m drinking lots of water and airbourne and downing vitamin C's. Hopefully I will flush it through faster than my hubby did! Esther

Thanks ZaZa for starting us off on another month. My cutoff is 9:00 p.m. I'm home most of the month of June so it should be easier than last month when I traveled for 2 1/2 weeks!!! We WILL DO THIS :laugh: Esther

I'd be interested in knowing what others think as well! I never heard that about the bread. I use it because I thought it was good for us?!?

Where are you guys? I went to Curves and didn't really get 100% even though it's my 100% day on the smart machines. I am not feeling well but wanted to go anyway. Don't need any extra excuses to not workout :tongue: Hope you all are having a great day. Esther

Good morning ladies: Sorry that I wasn't more original on the beginning of the thread. My hubby shared his bug with me and I was feeling pretty wiped out last night when I remembered I needed to get this June thread started. I'm still kind of puny feeling but I MUST go to workout. So, after I post I will get myself down…

The June thread has been posted. See you there.

I don't know exactly how many because I know there was one night I ate past my cutoff and don't remember what date that was :ohwell: So....count me out for May but I will be here for the June challenge. thanks zaza Esther

WOW - that is awesome. You're doing well. Keep it up girl. Do any of you follow the new Curves eating plan? If so, how do you like it? What don't you like about it? I'm considering buying the book but that is just another $10.00 spent on trying to lose weight:grumble: Have a great day girls. Esther

Becky - ditto what Barbie said! Also, are you eating enough calories for the calories you are burning an:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: drink that water! Barbie - you are the "size" I want to be but I didn't reach my goal this month. I wish I had your determination and commitment. I was totally NOT in control of what was…

My hubby has that crud. I've heard it can last up to a month so be sure to take care of YOU so you don't get laid up long. I'm trying to convince him to down more water but he is stubborn:grumble: :wink: Hope everyone has a great weekend. Esther

Welcome back. This is a great place to visit. Everyone is so encouraging.

Barb: It sounds like your former mother-in-law was a great woman. She has definitely effected a lot of lives with her love for life. Hang in there and don't beat yourself up for not visiting her prior to her passing. I hadn't heard about your bicycle accident. I hope all of you is healing physically! I have just finished…

Welcome pirjo. You have found the right thread. And, remember to tell your son thanks for the positive comment that got you going! Kids do that sometimes. Glad you found us and hope you'll return often. Esther

Don't beat yourself up. You're riding the bike and that is better than sitting on the couch. You're doing good. Stay focused ;-) Esther
