Today is our 30th wedding anniversary. Here's what the card my hubby gave me says:
My Wife My Love
I think of the days when we first fell in love-
Our dreams,
All the changes since then-
And I look at us now and just know in my heart,
If I had to choose all over again,
You'd still be the one I'd want by my side
To share every day of my life...
You're my soul mate,
My lover
My best friend forever-
My partner, My beautiful wife
Happy Anniversary
Love me
He also gave me beautiful roses.

Hi everyone,
Would love to join this challenge- I've gained 14 lbs in the past 3 months, and I've just been back on track since Sept 1.
Hubby and I are contemplating baby #4, but if we do try for another one, then I definitely want to be at 140 lbs before we try. And hey, if I hit 140 before Christmas, then maybe we'll try before then! ;) 142 is actually my 'magic' number, as that was my starting weight with baby #1 and baby #2.

Happy Anniversary, OnlyBelieve! That's a lovely poem. :) Congratulations on 30 years!
Nightkatt, where in NZ are you? I lived there for a few years, met my hubby there, and we both love NZ. I love hearing all the little NZ phrases/memories for me in your posts (heaps, courgette, capsicum, good on you, there are more!) :)

Great attitude there Isles :) Its always a learning and training thing .. and you are doing great :)


COUNTRY MOM - What a great loss this week!! Well done :) Isnt it incredible how much a little difference makes :) I gave up chocolate and cookies (so far into week 4 lol) and its definitely been a good thing :)

WANNASKIPANDLAUGH - Thanks for posting .. you are doing great ... keep going :)

CHEERILOOS - You are being soo consistent .. great job!

ONLY BELIEVE - Wow .. what a romantic you have there .. that is sooo lovely .. should get my hunny to get hold on him for tips lol .. and a great result for you this week .. Well done! :carrot:

MHILL - Welcome on board, always happy to welcome on in a new team-mate :) I think everyone gets to that point where we just cant seem to get things moving, so I hope we can give you a bit of inspiration, as Im sure you will for us.

LOSTINSTATICX - Welcome on board for you too (love all these new team-mates!) ... great loss this week .. well done :)

HEATHER - Dont let the gain get you down, focus on some positives, it will make it easier to accept what the scale spat out this week. It could be that you had great water intake .. it could be you managed exercise "?" days .. or it could be that you found a funny moment in your day ... or heck .. if its really hard .. youre still breathing :) :hug:

CLEVER NAME - Welcome on board :) What a great goal .. 4???!!! omg .. lol .. you are already a star I think . that is mind boggling for me lol. Im in Wellington (capital for those that arent sure lol). But I grew up a couple of hours away from where I am now on a farm.... miss the open spaces lol. I tend to switch phrases when I talk lol .. my dad is Canadian and my granny was Scottish, grandad English .. so I tend to speak mutt lol... but mainly kiwi fortunately :) What part of NZ were you in?? And where are you now? Was your hubby a kiwi?

WORKINGHARDATLOSING - Good job again this week, nice and consistent :) Keep up the great work :)

BOATINGMOMMY - Nice job this week :) Glad to see you on the boards .. hope you have a great week til we see you again :) (humm . not that I meant you have a bad one once we do see you again lol).

FAIRANDFREE - WOW .. great loss this week .. and Im sure it was well deserved/earned ... you are doing great towards your goal :)

ALICIA - Great attitude. I do remember you saying you weren't having a positive week, but there you go ... isnt it funny how we so quickly think the worst of ourselves/achievements ... might be something to think on with this journey .. to have a bit more faith in ourselves .. and while a week may be better or worse than another, its all part of the same plan :)

STARFISH - Keeping it nice and consistent ... very nice job :)

:carrot::hug::D:carrot::hug::D:carrot::hug::D:carr ot::hug::D

Okee .. so hopefully I have caught up with everyone .. if I missed you I am so sorry .. smack me with a wet haddock :)

So team loss this week so far is 27 pounds .. that is just incredible ... for the month so far its 122.85 pounds!! Thats got to be a person ... isnt that fantastic!! Everyone should be proud of themselves, no matter how much or little you have lost .. you have helped with this total :)

Wishing I weighed in today instead of yesterday lol .. lots better result .. day one without TOM so I should have expected it, but never mind .. will just keep behaving to bring that result through next week.

I was naughty and stayed up until 4am reading .. didnt mean to but I really wanted to finish the book lol ... so of course got up later than I meant to and then I had to get the packages I needed to post of today packed up and in the car then to the PO before it got too busy :) So spent a lot of time finishing packing and moving and wrapping etc then headed into town to get them all posted (had to go grab a trolley to get all the packages inside lol).

I was reminded of something today when I went to get my shopping for dinner ... DONT GO SHOPPING WHEN YOU HAVENT EATEN!!! Cripes, if I thought that last week I wanted chocolate it was nothing like it was today .. aiyaiyai! So I quickly filled up my trolley with fresh fruit & veg, a little bit of meat and some more cereal then got out of there! Spent an hour creating a fresh fruit salad (Strawberries, bananas, apples, oranges, grapes, grapefruit, peaches, Kiwifruit gold & green).. and getting dinner ready.

Had such a big dinner (200g chicken breast, broccoli, courgette, sweet potato (kumara), beans, carrots) and feel chocoblock .. adding in a bowl of my fruit salad and a yoghurt .. Im still barely over half my daily intake for calories ... but will try to get it right tomorrow.

Hope everyone else's day is going well.

Well still inching down... gonna have to really get busy to make the goal I set... Still at least it is progress...
