We got it going on~~~~~~~~~
 

I am going to have some catching up to do with the step challenge!! :running:
I am buying a pedometer tomorrow a.m. ... AFTER I go to the gym & a WW meeting to buy a point book!!!:running::exercise:

The snack idea's are awesome... lots of yummy options... thanks everyone for your input! ... oh, I used to eat a Peanut butter sandwich almost daily until Littlelindy informed me that was 15 whopping points on WW. ouch!! changing habits! :cp:
I did pick up some high fiber V8 juice yesterday... and I am getting ready to have some now... ... I made turkey enchilada's for dinner last night... so yummy!.. I did good on my portions,and had salad... today I had that for lunch too.. but I will only have salad with no dressing for dinner... since I am convinced I have just about had my point allotment for WW today! :dust:

As for today... I reset my treadmill up so when I am home I can jump on it ... I am going on a bike ride very soon...

The weather is absolutely beautiful in Northern California today!! 70ish...:carrot:

Have a wonderful day everyone!! :goodvibes

Awesome tips!!!

Today I did that grahm cracker with whip cream in the freezer, OMG, so good!!!

Break a grahm cracker in half. spoon in FF whip cream and freeze! YUMMMMM

Had a pretty good day, but got a little carried away with trying all the neat ideas! :o

I worked out pretty hard so trying to still maintain my 1500 calorie a day, even with workout!

Will have light, light dinner!

Week two down
 

Well I stepped on the scale today week two down and two more pounds gone. I have lost eight pouds so far :carrot:
I'm glad everyone sounds so motivated to do the walking challenge and it looks like we are all helping eachother. Great job.... So with our challenge lets set mini pound goals. So by christmas eve how many pounds do each of us want to drop off? Let me know and it will keep us going to see if each of us can do it :grouphug:
So i'm setting my goal at 6lbs that's 136 lbs by christmas eve.:dizzy:
So does everyone work? I do part time waiting for school to start on Jan. the 7th I will graduate in May with my LPN and will go back in August for my RN. So I stay busy and try not to eat becuase I"m bored ... MY goal this week is to clean up my garden and pond. Well everyone have a great day. OH steps I walked 9,790 yesterday so our new total is 67,301.
I will check back in later. Have a great day....

I can't figure out how to change my weight ? Does anyone know? Or do we :devil:ya after awhile.

Hi BFFs,

good news, I have my pedometer on, Bad news I pigged out last night BADLY!

I was so sore from going to the gym I just sat on the couch and pigged. Today I brought healthy choices to work and will walk up a hill at breaktime.

I think the weekdays will be easier for me than the weekends, even though I work out more on the weekends.

I don't know how to change the weight at teh bottom Little!

Okay, I weighed myself and I weighed more like 147 148, this morning. That is it! I am so close to 150 it scares me.

Will post my diet and my steps later. Can you all share what you are eating too and the calorie count so I can learn more?
:hug:

Don't pig out
 

Stop it and don't pig out email us or have a talk with yourself. Drink a glass of v8 or water and chew on some ice. Healthy low calorie snacks buy the 100 calorie snacks they have chips cookies, and lots of stuff. I eat special k cereal when i want somthing sweet with strawberries in it. Also skinny cow or ww ice cream bars they have fruit ones with vanilla in the middle for 1 point like 40 calories. Jello with light whip cream is good or sugar free pudding is good also I'm having one of those for a snack on ww it's two points like 100 caloires. So you can do it we all have to set a weight goal for christmas and we will all get there together..KK? No more pigging out nope nope nope LOL talk to you later...:hug:

Lindy,
To change your weight click on User CP at the top of the page. Then click on edit Profile. Scroll down to your weight info and change your current weight. Then save changes. Hope this helps.

I bought a pedometer but have had trouble getting it to work right. Will let you know when I figure it out. (Maybe I should read some directions!)

As for a goal for me, I am trying to be in the 190's by the New Year. That's 10 pounds by the end of the month. Not sure if I can do it but I'm trying. I haven't been under 200 in over 20 years!

Hi Lindy, Hi OnMyWay...
I dropped by ped when I got out of my car and the battery piece fell off. I just noticed that... but I was at about 4500 for the day.

I hope that piece is still down there, I have to go look in the dark in the parking lot.

I did much better today and I have 300 points left after dinner! So I am gonna have some tea (zero) and see if I feel like more later.

I am gonna pack more for work snacks and lunch tomorrow.

I have found my new best friend, a grahm cracker with ff whip cream. 65 calories and tastes like wedding cake! Well... almost!
;-)

I found it. This poor thing has even been dropped in a toilet!

support and friends
 

Hello onmyway....:D
Well you can do it I know you can. Do you walk? what type of diet are you on? If you don't mind me asking. I'm doing wheight watchers and I walk or do walk away the pounds tape. I started it with the one mile then moved to the two mile brisk walk with bands. I do that once a day and lift weight just three pound weights , but I do get a work out I guess it's different with building muscle. So I want to drop from 142 to 136 and onmyway is wanting to go from 210 to 199 go go go ok anyone else? I will check in later....

hello dmc2009 wow ok I will write down your steps. Just to let everyone know the american heart association says we should walk 10,000 steps a day to stay fit. So I'm at 8,000 right now so I"m going to go do my walk away the pounds tape so that should bring me up to 10,000 steps. So when we are down on our steps we need to get up get active walk, and drop weight and gain strength and move our joints. Ok so that's my pep talk and health tip .. I will check in later. Oh DMC2009 what does that stand for? Also what is your weight goal for christmas ever?

I think I can, I think I can... I think I can....
 

Ok... right now I have to stay off the scale!!! I went to the gym this morning and it says I gained two pounds!! ugh! so, I will not weigh until next week.. or maybe not... I went to the weight watcher meeting and bummer I have to wait another week to get the point book since they are coming out with the all new 2009 edition! :D I have been trying really hard to eat small portions all day... .. see on a normal day(before 3FC) I would have my coffee, then slam a PJ sandwich while heading out the door for work.. then nothing until dinner.. I am not a big snacker... well, that hasn't worked for me since I have been gaining steadily.. so I am learning to eat all over again. LittleLindy my bff ( now OUR bff):hug: has informed me I need to eat more to stimulate my metabolism.. which makes sense.. and to make things short I am working at it. :?:

My Pedometer doesn't seem to work since It says I walked 1919 steps today....:nono: I know that can't be right since that is all I do all day is walk, and I also hit the gym & walked the treadmill. So, I will go to walmart tomorrow to buy a new one

You all are kicking butt:carrot: all the tips on food are great. I cannot wait to try to graham cracker & FF cool whip... slurp..:T

Enjoy and be positive...if you screw up then tell yourself you will work even harder tomorrow...:dizzy:

goodnight!

I will do better tomorrow!! promise
 

:D

Tomorrow is gym day, and its a low impact class, I will wear my ped there too. And I will walk more tomorrow during the day! I love that you are pushing us!

I am at about 148 or so, that is what the scale said this morning. How about my goal be 139 by end of this month. Is that doable?

OH MY GOSH you guys, I would be so happy

My Tina.
You go girl! I love your will power dust, give us more!!! ;-)
