Coondocks - I haven't really been around, kinda got into a little funk, plus combined with retaining water from working out = bad bad bad. That's a very cute picture of you, your man and Jack! 179!! Broke away from those darn 180's!

Ona - I am doing alright, I was just in a funk, think I'm doing a bit better today though. :) Thanks for the good vibes! Nice to see you are still losing so consistently :D

Angie - Do you have a treadmill at home to do your incline walks? I really wish I had a cardio machine in my livingroom, I'd totally do it while watching tv! Do you ever find that you are not losing as fast from working out? I've been doing the workout the trainer gave me, but I guess it's because it's mostly a interval weight program my muscles are retaining water like CRAZY! Anyways, it's totally frustrating because it's a HARD workout and I want to see results NOW, :lol:

love2b - thanks for the good vibes as well! Glad to see you are still rockin' the 160's!

:wave: Hello to everyone else I missed!

So my scale still isn't being nice to me. My muscles are still quite sore though, STILL being the key word. I've had issues sitting and then trying to get back up the last couple of day! :lol: Down .2 from last WI 3 days ago, so I'm at 261.5.

Kris Congrats on the new low! :carrot:

Aimee Yep, you sound sore. I'm glad to see you back. :hug:

So, I've manage to stick with this dieting thing for a bit over two weeks now and lost 10.4lbs. I am also now under 250lbs!:D And I now only "obese" instead of "morbidly obese."

Not shabby for two weeks.:broc:

I wasn't really surprised with my number this morning. We went to the drive in last night and I ate about 360 calories worth of baked potato chips. I was still well within my calories, but ohhhhh the sodium! Also took my water pill a little late. :( Today will be a challenge, we have my DS's t-ball banquet at lunch and then a Chuck-E-Cheese bday party for dinner. Plan is to eat a good breakfast, then stick to meat & veg at the banquet, and skip eating dinner until we get home. I have a nice chicken breast wrapped around some cheese which is wrapped around some asparagus waiting for me!

Diana -- TOM is coming for me too...it's due any day now. I hope things level out for you soon. It does feel great when you persevere through a challenging time.

Ona -- Great job on the walk, you go! I have to admit, I skipped my treadmill yesterday, but I promise myself I will do it today. I'll tell myself "Ona would do it!" ;)

Coondocks -- Looks like you had the last laugh on TOM afterall, congratulations!!

Penguin -- Congrats on your -1!

Kris -- Fantastic loss for you!

Aimee -- Welcome back! :hug: Yes I am lucky to have a treadmill (they go on a major sale every year at Canadian Tire around the end of November or first week of December, I got mine for $500 a few years ago and it was regular $1500! It was my bday/Christmas gift and then some all rolled into one) I do see that my losses slowed since working out, but on the bright side yesterday people were commenting that they could see the difference on me, so I think what I'm lacking in weight loss I'm making up in inches and tone. I can hardly wait for the biggest loser show to come back on, I love doing the treadmill while I watch that. Just try to quit when they are being killed by their trainers! Don't worry about the working out, it will pay off; you know you're doing great things for your body and the numbers will come eventually.

Sunshine - lol, that happens when I change my ticker too! Way to go on your .4 :)

9/12 ~ 213.0 down .2

Hubby and I ate out last night to celebrate his Bday. When we eat out we eat early in the evening between 4-5pm, but our friends were taking us out, and they couldn't get free until 7pm {kids, broken car} so that was an off schedule meal for me. I spluged a little here and there but thought I did okay, and I did at the resturant. It was the 680 cals of cookies I had baked day before yesterday that got me, LOL. Total cals 2,150. Good thing it was my 'high' day.

Good Morning, Everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday!

Calories for yesterday: 1730

Weigh In: 200.4 (TTOM)

Down: .6 (still up 1.4 over my low)

Ona Great job on the .6. Nothing wrong with .4 but .6 is even better. ;) :D

Kristi You can do it! Look at the crazy month I have had. Stay focused.

Angie Yes, I hope everything starts going in the right direction for me again. :dizzy: Yes, that sodium will get you. :(

Penguin Great job on your .2
