Hi chicks,

Stayed the same at my Friday WI, which is not bad for PRETOM.

Someone asked which program I was on - I started LA Weight Loss two weeks ago. I'm not sure I really like the program, but you have to pay for it all up front -- which makes you continue to go. (At least after two weeks, I'm still willing to go).

Good luck to all!

Hi all

I guess I forgot to check in on Wednesday night after weigh in. I was down .2 (which I guess is better than a gain). I was on program all week so I'm hoping the rest will show up next week.

I've had a few oopsies this week but we'll see how that plays out on Wednesday.

After last weeks weigh in I made a personal commitment to myself to exercise every day for at least 20 minutes (minimum). So far I have kept up with this everyday, except Friday and the only excuse I can think of is that I was extremely tired, but I know that if I go to the gym I will not be tired. Its just getting my but in the door....

Looks like everyone is making good progress .... W T G

Hi everyone! Way to go on the weight losses that you guys have posted!!! Awesome work! Keep it up!

I've been on track this week with my workouts, can't say much for last week though, I was feeling yucky all week and only made it in once. I've got the Thanksgiving gain off already and am back down to 199lbs so that made my day today. Next Friday is my monthly weigh in at the Fitness centre. I'm anxious to see if there are any changes. I really think that I've lost inches this month, if not alot of weight. But I am building muscles at the gym so that would make it look like I'm not losing weight.

I've had some medical challenges this last week. My dr thinks that it may be diabetes, I find out on Friday. I'm pretty sure it isn't since I've been tested before but we'll see I guess. I really hope it isn't. I do know however that my cholestrol is out of control again. No big surprise for me but it will be a wake up call to my weight loss efforts. If the dr tries to put me on meds for it I'm going to refuse and ask for a nutritional consult instead. That way I will have help adapting my eating habits to a healthier way. I'm actually looking forward to the opportunity to talk with a nutritionist, I think it would be very interesting. And won't she be surprised when I hand her my food log from Fitday, LOL.

I've made a commitment this week to add one more day of exercise in. It's going in tomorrow so wish me luck in surviving it, LOL! Anyhow, I'm off, it's late again! Have a great week ladies.

Hi all,

Finally dropped .6 at this AM WI - which gives me 3 pounds lost since I started the challenge - so another 17 to go for that, and then 27 for the cruise goal.

This was the longest time to lose .6 pounds! It's a good thing I'm supposed to WI 3 times a week, otherwise I'd have blown it for sure!

I think my goal this upcoming week is to start walking. and use the exercise tapes.

Good luck to everyone!

I
am

and proud
to reset my
Christmas goal
to 2 2 5 pounds.

My attempts to get at least 20 minutes exercise everyday has not been going too well. I think that starting Monday I will go to the gym at 5am.

I decided to make effort to get more protien in earlier in the day this week(breakfast and lunch), and so far have not had to much problem with that. I have rediscovered my love of cottage cheese. I think this might help with my success. I seem to be less hungry.

Looks like most of us have 17, 18, 19 pounds to go. I hope that I will be able to keep up my pace and have the extra 10 off by HOHO time.

everyone on your successes!

I have read SOOO many places in here that if you eat protein in the morning, you are less hungry through the day? Is there any fact to that?

Hi Guys!!
Great to see everyone committed to this challenge, and meeting their goals.
I haven't been sticking to my plan I have had about a month of sick kids with vomitting, going from one kid to the other and then back again. My son (4) was the worst and had it THREE times, poor guy. He also had lots of stomach cramps so I have spent the longest time sitting around hugging him. He has also had disturbed sleep, and awake for hours during the night My daughter has also missed alot of school, because when she was well, her brother wasn't, and as their dad was at work, I didn't wamnt to take a kid throwing up just to take the other to school, and other days he was still sleeping when school started.

I treally need to get back on track, and really commit to this. Thanks for the encouragement you have all given without even knowing. Just reading your posts is helping


HUGS and KISSES to you all!!!

Kathy
