Stella- Yeah you need the extra feet for it to work right on the carpet. They are kind of a pain sometimes and sometimes they fall off just check before you weigh yourself in that the feet are on. :)

Im super elated this morning I could kiss all of you guys. I have been stuck in a rut since August and this morning was our weigh in for the new years challenge and Ive lost 5.5lbs which is HUGE when I haven't lost a lb since August! *Does happy dance* Going to take my nephew for a stroll around the neighborhood while my feet are off the ground!!

well I haven't posted here in a hwile, but I wanted to stop by and post that I ran (well jog is the better word, but at least I wasn't just walking!!) for a full 6 minutes on my treadmill before stopping! Im so proud of myself. Im building myself up to ten byt this time next week!!

and Pam, THAT'S amazing!! CONGRATS!! Only 8 more lbs to go for you lady!!

Congrats Pammy and Mickey!!!

Yeah Pammy!!!

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted in one of these threads.

It's been a lonnnnng week. I'm still losing weight, which makes me happy. But I haven't been able to get to the gym. My husband is currently at home with H1N1 ... so I've moved back in with mom & dad temporarily. It's sort of sad. I just hope that taking precautions will mean good things for me. He's had a temperature above 101 for almost 4 days! Yuck.

I worked with a PT for 3 sessions - now I can go to the gym and not feel stupid. :)

I wish my boss would stay home. He told us he was expossed to the h1N1 but he said since we work around people in the retail industry that we all might be exposed to it.

although he was out for four days sick as a dog. Hope you fair better then me and my co-workers!

So, since I had a serious whoosh and lost 10lbs this month (my goal was only 5, woo!!!) my Halloween costume I was going to wear didn't fit, so I threw these two costumes together for last night lol! I was a naughty girl scout and I turned my best friend into an irish lass (which I think I'll use for my costume next year).

Oh, that's SO cute! I wish I had somewhere to go, so i could have dressed up. =/ I have no life. and congrats on the 10 lbs!!

platformnine- too cute! we didnt have many trick or treaters come round (its a good thing :D )

Just finished the Auckland quarter marathon, I ran the whole 10.55km :carrot: Beat my last time by 12 mins, doing it in 1 hr 16 mins, and I came 1436th (vs. 1827th last year) :)

Congrats Icon!!! We didn't have many trick or treaters either because of the rain.

I stayed within the higher end of my calorie range today (usually I like to be in the lower end) and even though I've been walking around in heels all night, I didn't work out (besides a tumble with the boy earlier tonight). I did allow myself one snack sized 100 grand bar and M&M's as my snacks today :( I have this incessant fear that if I have one bad thing now I'm going to be right back up at 222lb again...We'll see tomorrow how I did. I'm not going to beat myself up if I went back up a pound or two, because I already doubled my goal loss for this month and kicked butt with all of my goals. Now onto November and Thanksgiving!

Mary that's adorable!

Congrats Icon :)

I actually figured out the problem with the Wii. I had it backwards - I thought the power button should have faced the tv. Nope :)

I didn't have any candy - I went hiking, cleaned up our old house, went to the dump and then cleaned my house before I got ready for the party. I didn't buy any candy b/c I figured I wouldn't be home, and then I just didn't answer the door - I know, I'm mean, but I was half naked doing my hair, I'm sure that's not the trick they had in mind ;)

I drank so much though. I'm so proud that I'm not hung over because of my drunken ability to make peanut butter sandwiches late at night.

Good for you Stella for refusing the candy and doing all that exercise!! Were you dressed in a costume at the party? What did you go as?
