Glad things are going well for you. Oh my gosh your day sounded like my Saturdays. I go shopping and housework and yard work and so forth from about 7 am till about 10 pm. I don't sit down until I am done because if I do, I won't get back up lol.

Did you get your package yet. I sent it a couple of days after I told you I found it lol?

Yeah I am finally going down again! I went to the gym for over an hour yesterday and had a SUPER sweatin work out...it was awesome!
Hope you had a good weekend away!
I was gone too. My Emmaus Weekend was great. I always come away uplifted but very tired.
Still, good for you for losing some more! I tried to eat lots of fruits and vegies over the weekend and stay out of the candy bowl. I did eat 2 Hershey miniatures though. Not bad.
I missed my aerobics class this morning. I was so worn out from the weekend. When I got up to go, Bob told me he didn't think I was up to doing it. I went back to bed and slept for 5 more hours. I had 3-4 hours of sleep the 3 nights that I was at the church, so it did help to sleep more today. I did go to water aerobics tonight though.

Tammy, only 2 mini's that isnt bad at ALL. I went to the gym at lunch yesterday and I have upped my water intake by 30 oz per day. So I am now having closer to 100 oz. I checked my weight again this morning before I climbed in the shower and the darn thing was NICE to me again! So maybe beefing up my exercise, adding more protein, and upping my water is really working!!! WOOOHOOOO
I need to up my water intake. I didn't drink much over the weekend because I didn't want to have to get up and leave during any of the speakers. I have been doing better since I've been home though. I went to bed at a decent hour last night, and I felt well rested this morning. I've already been to step aerobics. That class is a workout. I upped my hand weights. I started with 2 pound ones, upped it to 3 pounds, and this morning I used 4 pound weights. With the arthritis in the hands and fingers, I want to work up gradually.
Still, the goal that I have is a maybe goal. lol When I hit that, I will decide if I want to lose more. I'm sure my doctor thinks I should keep going, but we'll see when it happens.

I am like that also....but I know my DR would be happy with me at 150-160lbs
When I mentioned to him that I want/need to lose 20lbs he was like "now yoiu don't need to go thinkin you need to look like a movie star, that isnt healthy". So I told him, "screw that, I just want to be a healthy 150, not 80lbs..lol" Then he laughed and said OK! Good luck!
I AM GOING TO START THE NEW THREAD FOR MAY!!!!

Thanks for the welcome, everyone. I've lost 14 lbs since April 14th, but for some reason, gained back 2 (didn't go off the diet or anything), probably just holding water. Anyway, I plan to do something a little different. I'm going to use continue to use Alli, but I'm going to "do" the first stage of South Beach diet for 3 days out of each week and low fat/cal counting 4 days. I really think that carbs slows down my weight loss, but I'm NOT going to live without potatoes...I'm just NOT--but I'm willing to give up carbs 3 days a week. We'll see if that speeds up my weight loss. I haven't lost any weight this week.
