  • So....I was having a really good day today, drank my water ect UNTIL soem of the lovely people I work with thought of me when they ALL brought in food for a pot luck meeting they are having...so much food!!! But I guess it could have been worse...I was able to give half of it away AND the chocolate square thing is sill sitting there..I think I'll take it home to my mommy
  • Hi Everyone

    Well Done Susanne and Hockeychic

    Good Luck with the weigh in Glen

    M, Don't give in to that chocolate square

    I weighed in at 161.5lbs this morning so i've still got 2lbs to lose to get to where i was and it won't happen if i don't stop eating choc and creme eggs
    I'm in for the exercise challenge that should be easy for me i've done some for the last 4 days
  • WTG Cat90, I have done 2 days in a row so far but haven't done any yet today. But then again it is only 8:45AM. I think I will do my cardio right now actually then it is out of the way before the housework starts.

    You all have a great day.
  • I walked 3.5mls yesterday wearing 5lbs leg weights on the hill walking program so thats Day 5 still got to do some today yet.
    Hope you are all enjoying your weekend
  • New here!!

  • Welcome Amanda

    How is everyone doing....I had a so-so weekend and a so-so start to the week. I have to admit, I won't be meeting the challenge this week...I had a very lazy week, so I'll aim for next week...how about starting on Wed

    On the weekend I tried the Low-Fat brownies by Betty Crocker...YUMMY!!! OMG, that was the best sweet thing I've had in a long time....I highly recommend trying them. I had one and some fat-free ice cream (I think Bayers makes it...) can you tell I have a sweet tooth.

    All in all, I think I had an ok week, maybe lost one pound...which is fine with me! I'll find out on Wed, but at least this time I'm not going into it terrified to step on the scale!

    Well, have a happy Monday.

    Cheers,

    M.
  • Hi Girls,

    Hi Amanda well done with your weightloss so far

    I walked another 3mls yesterday pumping handweights and 2mls this morning wearing leg weights so thats 7 days in a row but i'm eating like a talk about a sweet tooth M i'm the with a sweet tooth pity i have'nt got share in Cadburys
  • Hey Everyone!
    I hadn't got any emails that new messages had been posted. Hmmm, wonder why? Oh well, I found you all.

    I've finished week one. I accomplished something really tough for me--I got in 6 days of exercising out of 7. That's my goal for every week. My eating was ok, but I can do better. Water was good.

    Welcome AMANDA!

    CAT--You may want to research about wearing ankle weights. I'm sure I've read that that may not be such a good idea. I don't remember why tho.

    Gotta go get the munchkin ready for school. Glad I found you all again.
  • Hi All!

    Thank you for the warm welcome...

    Well yesturday I did have sugar I had to make my boyfriend cookies for his lunch and of course I had to eat one.. at least I never pigged out on them! Besides that I did good...

    I think I am going to add something to my challenge, I am going to stop eating at 7:00pm every night. i always find myself snacking a lot at night, I usually pick healthy foods like late night grapes but. Im not even hungry when I eat them....Wish me Luck!

    Talk to you All Later,

    Cheers,
    Amanda

  • hi all. amanda what part sask are you from? i lived in regina.
    welcome back zanne
    glen
  • Im Back!!!

    I have been MIA lately cause I just haven't been able to stay on track. But today I finally think I am back to normal and feel the motivation kicking back in. I am so disappointed in myself for the last two weeks for letting myself go and eat what I ate and drink what I drank.

    Work has been a bummer and last weekend i spent stripping wallpaper and painting my living room...good exercise but I was sooooo tired afterward and I am still a little sore.

    Amanda WELCOME!!! Glad to see a new face here.

    MeRoMo good luck tomorrow!!

    Cat and Zanne you should be super proud of yourself for the execise. I have made apact with myself to do the same.

    I have missed you guys and will most definately post again tomorrow.
