Happy Saturday. I'm getting ready for holiday party … just ate some fruit to hopefully stop me from eating too much later. Am also wearing white so the scare of spilling of me may help too - ha ha. Maureen, what about a mani/pedi for your mother in law? Gift Certificate for a lunch place she goes with friends? Audio Book.…

Hi Hi …. there is something about running Brenda that seems 'easier to do'. Maybe it's the one less step of putting a dvd in the player; ha ha :p We had our work team holiday party yesterday and went bowling - was fun and actually feel it in my legs today; guess it shows i haven't been working out as well as i should be :(…

MORNING :) Maureen, glad you are keeping at it; gives us incentive to do the same. Have a great visit with your son! Brenda, the dvd set is Focus T25 and we did cardio today. I did low-impact and wasn't too bad. A good sweat and only 25 mins which I loved! Maureen, is that the same as you? I've got salads, veggies and…

Happy Saturday! Lisa nice job on the running. 6 days into the month and you are now 1/4 way perfect - nice! Brenda, sorry wasn't your week. You've been doing awesome though so remember that and just get back into it and let that be the past. Didn't end up doing the workout as she forgot to bring them in. She is on Monday…

Morning! It's Thursday … one more day! I've gotten back into the routine for everything, but logging. so today I will open that app up and put in everything I eat. Working out at lunch and have healthy foods. So it's a good day! My friend started in the beach body exercise program so I'm going to try the dvd with her at…

Hello again. So today, I weighed in and lost .4 lbs. While it's a loss, it's been 4 weeks, so I don't think it's anything great. My goal is not .1 lbs a week :) It's SO HARD to be motivated now that it is dark and cold and the holidays to distract. My steps are in the middle of living room and I'm going to walk on them…

Hi Hi …. sorry I've been MIA, Noah had surgery last week and work was crazy with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I have my monthly weigh in at work today so I'll be curious to see where I am. Scared, but curious. Wish me luck!!! Brenda, glad to hear you are still going strong - nice job! Lisa/Maureen, how are you ladies…

Hello. Brenda, those chocolate cheesecakes sound divine! Enjoy your 1 … we work hard :) Lisa, it is so cold out - have you been getting snow? We are due for 8-10 inches tmrw :( Noah just had his surgery yesterday so I'm going to have to do the shoveling/snowblowing myself. NOT FUN! But I guess a good workout. I've been…

Maureen, 'bake sale, need i say more' … sorry, but thanks for the laugh :) Hope your day got better and you enjoyed the time with your Mom. Busy weekend here with some beautiful weather -- hit 59 today! Didn't get to run outside, but was out doing a lot of yard work, vacuumed car/washed windows, cleaned basement, washed…

FRIDAY! I didn't weigh in this morning as I completely forgot it was Friday/weigh in day; so I will do so tomorrow. This week has had small victories. Ate right, slept great, took in lots of water. I didn't log or exercise any way near as what I should have so that is my goal for next week. Hope it's a great day/weekend…

good morning …. one more day til Friday weigh in and hopefully a glass of wine. be extra good today ;-) ha! Lisa, glad you are feeling a bit better - keep the vitamin D going. That's a long day with the husband when you go home together too. ;-) Hope you are all well!!!

Happy Wednesday …. 1/2 way through. I love writing in to you all because it restarts my day and gives me a reminder of why I'm trying to do. Otherwise, I'd have 8 days of fail for 1 day of good. I'm bad like that :) Let's hope for a weight loss for all and a glass of wine (or Michelob) on Friday night!!!!! Have a great day!

Hi Lisa … sorry for your bad week. Maybe see a doctor? If it's pre menopause they can give you something. Don't look forward to that!!!! In the meantime, if you get a strong Vitamin B that could help as well. Will send you good vibes. Had my yearly check up today. Still have 15 to lose but was good to see that I had lost…

Maureen, sounds like you are set for a great week. Lisa/Brenda, you need to be in as while and we can toast each other. Happy Monday … think thin and healthy!

Maureen, AWESOME! I bet if you did some 'googling' you can find some circuit training to do. Enjoy it! Brenda, glad you got back into the exercise. I've been sick since Friday, just feeling like myself now. No exercise, but barely any food, so it's probably all evened out. Went shopping today and got lots of fruit and…

Lisa, you make me laugh, not following hardly any of the rules. Even the small changes you are making seem to be working so awesome for that! I truly believe changing things up every 2 weeks is good for your body so it gets pushed differently. Brenda, eating any better? Keep saying hi to us as much as you can -- keeps me…

Quick hello - Brenda/Maureen nice to see you back! I'm in NY (up to room for 30 mins til we meet again for drinks). But I've been really good so far this week and worked out Monday/Tuesday so I'm happy with the week. Keep it up everyone! Lisa, how is the Dr Oz version working? I gave up and went back to just eating right…

Lisa, what is the nutrients on the single serve hummus? Sounds good as it keeps you to 1 serving. I'm the same with going to Costco, spend close to $200 but don't feel like I have 'food'. Good luck with the fam and no more junk. Btw, I was picturing you throwing away all the candy at the store; thinking DH wouldn't like :)…

I'm back in it! Today I cooked up chicken/vegetable soup (no rice/pasta). I made enough for almost the week. My plan is the next few days to eat egg whites, greek yogurt, salad, chicken soup, clementines and veggies. That's it. My body could use a good cleaning and this should do it. I'm in NY, Weds/Thurs so that will be…

Lisa, I watched the Dr Oz video and that diet will work. I do something extremely similar in the beginning of May and lost about 11 lbs in 2 weeks. There were minor differences …. so go for it! I'll be almost joining you as of tomorrow. Since I know my diet (17 day cycle) by heart, I'll start on that one. We can do this!

Interested to learn what the Dr Oz 14 day is…goggling as I type this. Let's do something that keeps us GOOD. Shout out any ideas. Wish I could think of some. A competition? A reward if we all do our goals? Thoughts??? I've been better yesterday/today, but not where I want to be, but I'm glad to see I'm slowly getting back…

HI …. checking in and giving a big sigh, because I am sucking at this right now!!! Yes I threw the candies away, but the doritios were still there. I have been completely AWFUL and am not surprised if I've gained 2-3 lbs. It's Saturday/Sunday and I have limited plans this weekend so I am absolutely getting in hour…

Hi Lisa … I threw my chocolate away tonight and it felt good!!! I did good today, not great, but happy I'm back on my way to be me again. Got a small walk in tonight so at least it was something, but definitely exercise exercise exercise this weekend! Hope your wrist feels better soon … yes rest and lots of is needed!

Thanks Maureen. So far so good. 1 mini kit kat bar, but everything else good. Haven't made gym yet and getting worried I won't :( But if not, I'll make myself work out tonight. 1 small step at a time and I think today's a good start to get back to track. Glad it's all feeling good for you - love being in that state of…

Maureen - bummer on getting to class and not having it happen :( My workout meet up group actually has a rule that if you miss 2 classes they kick you out. Harsh, but it's good so 1 person doesn't go alone or you don't take up slots that others wanted. Lisa, I get you cant' tell us your idea -- but can't wait to hear and…

November and December are hard months with the holidays -- LET'S DO THIS!!!!

Nice to see you Maureen :) Enjoy tonights workout --- I start my first class with my new group tomorrow night so I'm excited for something different. Just saying a quick hello -- have a great day!

Logging in because I am STARVING right now and figure if I say hi and talk maybe I won't eat. I've tried a cup of tea for something sweet and maybe to help fill, but no luck. Lisa, I think I'm like you - off the candy/sugar barrel and my body is craving it. Another hour or two before bed! Let's be creative and think of a…

Hellooo!!! Agree Maureen … winter is so hard and the cold, darker days do not help!!!! My company runs a Holiday Lose 'Em campaign Nov-Feb. You weigh in 1x a month and as long as the next month you don't gain any weight you are entered into a monthly raffle for prizes. At the end of the campaign there is a grand prize you…

Lisa hope you didn't get snow!!!! Brenda, boo on flu - feel better soon. Yesterday's incident put me in a rut and I didn't do much. I ended up eating candy bars for dinner, which wasn't so smart, but the day is past and I'll move on. Today is my Mom's bday dinner so I've been extra good with my foods so far today and will…
