BRAVO to BRANDNEWME!!!!!!!!!! GREAT jump on it with those 8 pounds!! :cheer: Hang in there now- stick with us & just DO IT!

VICKY - :hug: That happens sometimes, and it STINKS! But overall you still have a loss for the 2 weeks, and next week I'm counting on it dropping back down for you. You mentioned a fair - even if you ate a reasonable amount, the high sodium in something there ( or elsewhere) might be playing with your numbers. Stick with it - it WILL pay off!

Holy Cow, NEWSNERD! 7 pounds is AWESOME!!!

SHARON - WTG! on the 3 pounds down!!!

I can't finish replies now, so I'll be back later. The puppy has been whining, and now he's pacing - gotta go.

BTW down 3 pounds at WI this am.

way to go valerie now i know where the FFM is at your house and Brandnewme's house!

Brandnewme – good to hear you're back and having a good week and loosing the 8 pounds :bravo: Way to go girl :carrot:
Sodas are poison if you ask me and I never order one when going out for a drink or coffee but I do order every single time a glass of water, no mater what I’m having there’s a glass of water with it, my friends are making fun of me and now the first thing they order is a glass of water for me lol

Vicky – thats too bad! Transform the anger into motivation and prove to that scale it can not get to you!!! ;)
But yes the best days are always when you see the number falling. We are cursed to ups and downs I guess *sigh*

Oh Amanda I do envy you for loosing the most over the weekends. For most of us weekends are…well lets just say If there were no weekends I wouldn’t miss it lol
We had some friends over for lunch today and everything smelled so yummy but I went to take a 45mins walk so I didn’t get into the temptation…oh well.. But its great to hear those days work for you...so more weekends the better ;)

That computer game made me so sick, I left work early and went to bed, wasn’t able to do anything. Even today I’m not feeling my best. Don’t know what I was thinking playing that thing afterall I do know I have problems with that…silly me :dizzy:

Zelma, yes I am feeling better thank you and my bf did ‘pay’ for it and I gonna make him pay a little bit more lol. Oh he’s not complaining :) And about avatar..here it is :)

Great to hear you’re tests came back so good. Isn’t it great knowing you’re in good shape? I cant relate to any health problem, since I never had any, but every time my doc said I’m healthy Its like some load falling off my shoulders! I mean being overweight you usually expect to at least have a high blood pressure or something and its kinda cool realizing that your body hasn’t turn on you (yet?!)

Btw, LOVED the freedom part..I think I gonna adopt it :flow2: Freedom is what we are after!

Toofatforu – oh yeah the cake temptation… :T the hardest one to overcome. I wanna piece just thinking of it lol. Throw it away its poison (or just bring it over to my house :D ) *sigh* just dont eat it!!!

To everyone: WTG on every pound lost or on staying OP or on taking exercises or for just
being here for everyone..have a great weekend

Hi everybody!

Just checking in, I haven't been around all week. PMS got the down in a big way in the last week or so. I was emotionally, physically just in a hole. I haven't had a week like that in about 6 months. I think it's partially because I've not been keeping up well with my vitamins, etc. I had been taking them faithfully and they were helping my PMS a lot (B vitamins and others). Then as we do.. I got slack, and when I ran out, I didn't go to get more. Duh.

So, I've been busy fighting off the evil one and this week coming will be better. I've gained 6 pounds of water this past week, and it's still here. I've gotten a bit slack on my sodium intake, and I need to tighten that up too. Otherwise, I've been on plan, eating as I should. So, not all is bad! :smug:

Today when hubby gets home from working I'm going to snag him into going to the health food store to get my vitamins with me. I need to get out anyway, I've been indoors too much this last week.

I hope everyone else is doing okay. I missed a LOT LOT LOT of posts and some new people I see have joined us. Welcome to you all that are new! :hug:

I've seen all the new photos in the picture thread also and you are all looking SO good :cool:

Hope you all have a good weekend, and for those of you like me, in Canada, have a good Thanksgiving. (no I'm not doing turkey dinner, I'll eat too much if I do)

Hi everyone!

LOL Patti, stay away from that cake! You CAN resist the temptation!!!! :woo: Good for you for making a small one! Warn him that he had best eat what he wants of it while he has the chance! :yes: And yeah I guess we found the FFM... I hope they decide to share her with us very soon. :rofl:

Heather, I know what you mean... I am not stopping either. There is NO WAY this can NOT be helping my body! I can't believe that trail I just climbed down and then back up... whew! I did count all the minutes even though there were benches on the way up I rested on for a bit so it did not all register on my aerobic steps. But LOL if I was climbing THAT hill I was counting it!!! :)

Lavandel, I agree completely with you about sodas. I always order ice water with lemon AND hot water with lemon.

Angie, sorry for you bum week, and hope this one is better! :hug:

misti dont worry that cake will go out the door soon as he is finished with it1 lol!and that FFM maybe she has some big plans for us soon lol
