Thanks!!!
 

:hug:

Thanks everyone for your support. I guess I won't really feel REALLY good about loss until, like Lindy, I am in the 130s. At that point, I will feel really REALLY good. But I am motivated, by the small steps and your friendship and encouragement.

I don't feel deprived. I mean, c'mon, I have had a few glasses of red wine!!! And the scale still moved.

Today, I had english muffin (110 calories) with sugar free marm. I just ate some E. whites with salsa, and hoping that will last me until lunch time. Then salad and salmon and for snack probably an apple and popcorn or 100 calorie pack and tea. We shall see.

Its raining here, STILL, so I had to walk in the garage, it was smelly, like gas, I sneezed a lot! Probably my allergies kicking in.

I really want to lose this weight and this is the first time I realize that its diet AND excercise that makes that happen. You can't do it just doing one or the other.

Okay,, done with break, back to work. thanks for being here and Lindy, get R done! :D:D

So far I am at 5044 for Ped count!!!

More later!!:hug::hug:

So far I'm still here.
 

Well I'm still here so far we will see how long it lasts:( So I have done good today 100 calorie for breakfast, an orange for a snack and I had 10 baked chips with salsa and turkey in a pita with tomatoe and light mayo . :carrot: I'm going for a walk with my daughter in a few to get out of the house. She is home had to much fun at the tournament. Well I started my book that mytina said was good and it was hard to find. Twilight it's good I have read four pages and I keep going back to it. it sure does draw you in. I registared for school man one semester is 1,100 dollars can't believe it thank god for grants. When I started last year my books were 1,200 I sure hope they have not added any. Well I sure hope to see eveyone later keep your fingers crossed. DMC we seem so much alike it's scary the things you eat like the english muffins and the pop corn and tea and the things you say it's weird I feel like I'm reading my owen words. LOL kk everyone see ya later ( I hope):p:dust::dust::dust:

Hi ladies!

I have enjoyed my day off! Got some stuff organized around here and did my jog/walk and rode the bike this am. I'm watching a movie and vegging out for the rest of the afternoon. My dd has a friend over and all I'm doing for dinner is leftovers. I weigh tomorrow and I'm hoping it's good. I'll post steps later!

Thanks for the dust!!!!
 

Its hard, everyone around me and every counter has cookies and chocolate. I get by with having the 100 calorie cookie snacks here. It sure helps. Also 3 dark choc. covered almonds is 39 calories. ;-)

Lindy, I think we sound she same cause we are in the same boat! :hug:

OMY - Good luck tomorrow with your weight in. I am crossing fingers and toes for you.

I am already over 1000 calories for the day, so I have to watch it so I can have a decent dinner and snack.

I am probably going to do a walk away the lbs tonight too, hopefully.

Will post ped. count later. Just love to stay "plugged in" to you all when I can, keep up the enthusiasm, we are almost to the end of the month!!:carrot:

Hello friends
 

Hello friends. :wave: Well my day went well how about yours? OMW sounds like you are going to do really well on the scale. I hope I have internet in the morning so I can see your progress:cp: So I had a home made burrito for dinner we put onion, roast, green chilis, garlic, chicken broth, pepper and we put it on the crockpot and let it cook all night and roll it in a tortilla. I think it's six points so I had one and I will have grapes later or a ww bar. Mytina is suppose to step on the scale tomorrow also. Well I will check in later if I can. Alltell said they don't know when it will be shut off, but if I don't make the big big payment by the 2nd it for sure will be then. So say prayer and I will keep paying them and maybe it will stay on. Well I'm off to read my book then do my 2 mile walk away the pounds express walk with the bands. :hug::hug::hug:

Thanks for the good vibes!
 

Hi BFF's!

Sounds like everyone is still continuing to work hard to meet their goals. The holidays are so hard with all the sweets, snacks and partying going on. Good Idea Dmc, keeping 100 calorie packs on hand to help avoid the sweets at work. When we are thinking of ways to help us deal with hard situations that just proves how dedicated we are to losing the weight! Way to go!:carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot:

Lindy, hope you can get things resolved with your phone/internet. We would hate to lose our captain!:cheer:

:snowglo: Looks like we are going to get some more snow. Could that be 2 snow days in a row? I wish...

My steps for today 10050. I'll check in tomorrow. Thanks for posting and checking in, your support and encouragement is a huge help to me!

Steps today
 

Hi all my bffs online! You are virtual, but to me you are so real!!! Really awesome!

My peds today are 9342. I was gonna do a Walk Away the Pounds tape, but nah. I did my classes this weekend and I have Low Impact tomorrow night.

I wanted that second glass of wine with my dinner. I had a 3 pieces of bacon, 75 calories, 2 piece of bread 80 calories and a some FF mayo. Oh.. a piece of lettuce. I also finished some low fat chips. Tims. Thats what they are called, really crunchy and good.

I know it sounds like an icky dinner, but it was SOOOO Good. Now I am over by 100 calories. Whoops. Hey, I am not here to kill myself, and I know by June or July, I WILL reach my ultimate goal. Not really sure what that is, but def. less than I weigh now! ;-)

I usually don't drink wine, but this week, YEA BABY! It tastes so good. I think its all the twinkle lights and the rain and darkness, just makes me warm!

Okay, good luck to you tomorrow bffs on your weigh in. I am going to sit down and plan my food. YES... get those little packs. They are expensive, (I think) but they really are awesome. The lunch room is full of crap and I go and lift my little flapper and bam, I have my own little decadent stash! ;-):devil:

Good luck friends - we can do this, we can do this, we can do this. We got noplace to go but DOWN! :hug::hug::hug:

Evenin` Ladies!!!
DMC-Yayyy! 3 lbs is awesome!
Lindy- Im sorry yours didnt move. Pffffft. That just means a bigger loss next time though! And that is such a bummer about your internet. :( Hope it works out!!
And thank ya`ll for your concern. I`m feeling better now. This am I woke up feeling like myself- the fog finally lifted. I know ya`ll dont know me well yet, but I am not one to whine.That was just so scary and weird! Set me back all weekend. Just felt so tired and "off". Anyways- thanks!! *sigh* now to get hubby off my back. He asks me if I`m ok every time I turn aorund. He`s a sweet guy.
Went running last night- I was so proud. I ran like 5 blocks straight. (Dont laugh- its a record for me. Heck- 5 months ago i couldnt have ran 1 block!)I was out for almost an hour. Then I did crunches, push ups, and some pilates.
Back to the gym this am for an hour on the treadmill. Had my slimfast for breakfast, a slimfast snack bar for snack, 1/2 a subway chicken sub for lunch, pringle sticks for snack, a handful of chex mix, shrimp n pasta toss for dinner with a tossed salad, and a 100 calorie ice cream sandwich for dessert.
Had a good day in the stock market and laughed alot today! :)
Well- you all take care and remember to do something nice for yourself tonight.
Have a great night!!
Terry

Hmm- who was it asked about my Wii fit? I`m sorry- I swore I answered you- but it looks like the post didnt take?? Anyways- I can burn anywhere from 100 to 300 calories in 1/2 hr on it. It`s more inner core conditioning than calorie burn though. Does wonders for your abs and waistline. :) I like the balance games best. One you are a ball on a maze- and you move to shift the balls into the hole. Another you are in a bubble on a lazy river- and you navigate the river by shifting and leaning. Look out for bees!
Lets see- theres a ski jump, slalom skiing, umm, soccer dodge, tightrope, jogging, strength, yoga, and more. And step aerobics- I love that one.
Anyways- you`ll love it. Everyone who has tried mine has bought one!

Hope that helps!
Terry

I got my Wii today!!!!
 

:dancer:

I am so excited. While my DD is doing her homework, I wrapped it up. She has no idea. I told her to ask Santa for one for me, and she said... Ma'om, Santa won't get you one, they are wayyyyyyy to expensive. So I wrapped it up and will put it under the tree: To Me, From Santa! Ha! I cannot wait to try it, but I have to! It will be worth seeing her face.

I got her a Nintendo DS, and hopefully, I can get one too... later.

Thanks for sharing, I am so excited! I was not expecting it so soon! AWESOME

:crazy: So glad to hear its good for muffin top! ;):cheers::thanks:

Hi Girls!! my steps today..10,901 (that's more like it) I believe I have my Ped figured out.. it is all about where you place it on your body, and whether you have layers on.. which lately I have been having many many layers of clothing... it's downright chilly up here in NorCal.. ( I know, I know.. it's cold everywhere right now) ... I hate to get on the scale tomorrow...I am feeling a bit bloated tonight. .. I didn't drink enough water today either.
Dmc- how exciting about your Wii ... lucky! It does look like a fun game that we can do with our kids.. one day I may splurge and buy one...
I am happy Lindy likes the book 'twilight' as much as I do/did.. I am reading the one that comes next which is called 'new moon'.. anybody else reading these books??

Well, girls.. I must go.. I am tired & morning comes fast. goodnight.. and goodluck... keep up the hard work... it will be worth it..:)

Good Morning friends!
I lost another pound. Which brings my total for the week to 2.5. That's the best week I have had in quite a while. Thanks for all of your encouragement, You guys are the best!

Dmc, that's exciting about the Wii, where did you finally get it from? My bday is in Jan and I think I will wait til then to get it. It can't be found anywhere right now!

Glad to hear from you mytina. Hope you have a good weigh day.

Elf, glad to hear you are feeling better. Please be careful.

Lindy, that burrito sounds great. I think my family would like that!

More snow and ice here last night but not enough to call off school. I have to get going so I am not late. Have a great day and I'll check in later.

We are doing this!!!!!!!

I'm still here
 

Hello everyone. All my Bff's.:hug: I have steps to post.
OMW 10,050 total is 119,665
DMC 9,342 total is 111,089
Mytina 10,901 total is 65,122
Lindy 11,072 total is 200,979
Grand total is 496,855 almost half way there we need to move our goal to new years day. I don't think we can get the other 500,000 steps in the next nine days that would be 14,000 steps for each of us for the next nine days. I wish we could do it it would be cool , but it's a hard one. we will see. I hate to set a goal and not make it maybe we can do it :dizzy:
Well I did good yesterday and wanting the scale to move on monday we will see. I only did one mile yesterday and went shopping with my mom. I started new birth pills and man my top half ( you know my boobs) feel so sore like they are going to bust. I guess when you turn 40 they change the pill to a lower dose and my body is going crazy. I'm worried about stepping on the scale I think they are making me gain ? Can they do that? I feel like i'm about to breast feed LOL Ok to much information right? lol Well I think I'm out shopping today and to the school . I did get registered yesterday that's a lot of stress gone.
:bravo::flame::woohoo: OMW two and a half pounds you go girl. I'm so happy for you. That's a good drop it's hard to get over two pounds in a week. You are doing so good.
Mytina weighs in today also. Well it's cloudy here and cold they say rain and snow on the mountains. We never get snow before christmas usually Jan. and Feb. Well I will check in later I have to get the girls ready for school and myself for the day. I'm so happy to have eveyone. Maybe we can post our pictures in the aveator It would be nice to see faces. Ok see ya bff's have a good day.:grouphug::candy:

Hi girls,
Mytina, good work! Wow, 2.5. that is great! It motivates and gets the ball rolling huh?
OMW, got my console a week ago or so, but I got the Wii yesterday. You can find them, but very hard to do. Find out when your local Best Buy is getting shippment. That didn't work for me, I got mine online, but if you get in line that morning, you will get a Wii fit. Good luck!
Lindy, I have my ped on today again and tonight is my low impact class, so I should be in the 10 - 15K range, but that is not a normal day.
I agree, we should get faces to the screen names, that would be fun! We have to be careful with personal information though as this is a public forum and who knows what kind of kooks lurk! ;-)

Okay, gotta get into my day. Rainy here and cold. Feels like winter and I like that. Although, I feel badly for the rest of the country!

Have a wonderful, sucessful powerful day!

Good Morning Bff's!!! Well, first things first..... LittleLindy and I were txting each other this a.m. chatting about 'the twilight books',.. all was good..I dropped off my daughter at school..and went to call Littlelindy and I think her phone was turned off..!!! :cry: that means she has no internet either..and I have no way (besides writing a letter in the mail) to contact her!! :?: I am feeling lost already. ok,... we won't/aren't going to panic we have to be here.. strong as ever when she gets back.. hopefully, sooner than later?! Everyone say a Prayer that some money can come her way, or they will find an error in the bill... :grouphug:

I did weight today..and dropped another 2lbs. :rain: I guess I am at my 'normal' weight now.... (a few months ago I was at 135 and then got up to 148...now I am at 138) I had to get a grip,and figure out what was going on with my body... I believe hormonal & other changes due to age cause us to digest food different.. we hold onto water more.. and ladies we HAVE to, MUST do weight baring exercises... We need more muscle on our bodies... the more muscle you have the more fat you will burn.....I am also learning that vitamins do work.. I have never been one to take them consistently but I have noticed a big difference since I am taking them daily,.. and there are a lot of them. :dizzy:

Well, so much to do... need to go to the post office too! ugh. It is cold here in NorCal... 39 degree's and spitting rain... wish it would get a little colder ( did I really say that) so it could snow... ( for the kids) It doesn't normally snow here on the valley floor..so that would be exciting..:coolsnow::snow4:

remember say those prayers for LittleLindy.. and I hope everyone has a wonderful day.... keep up the great work!!:candy:
