Each person has two freebie weeks to use when ever they want. Just write "freebie week" in for this week's weight and you'll be fine.

Yay! I'm down this week! Now to see if I can keep the weight gone! :D

just what I thought the 130 didn't stick but I am down 2 pounds this week and since i saw 130 once maybe by next week it will be back.lol

I thought I was only down a pound turns out it was 2 :carrot:

Good afternoon ladies! How was everyones weekend? Mine went by way to fast, but it was good! I can't believe it's June already....that is just crazy to me! It is raining here today so stuck in doing laundry and listening to the kids drive me insane! It guess its good in the sense I will get my laundry done and can enjoy the nice days this week. Well weigh-in was me staying the same so uhhhh! I don't know what is going on with me but I plan on kicking it up a notch with my exercise this week thats for sure! Well I am off to fold some laundry and eat my lunch. Have a great day ladies!

Hi Ladies

BUT im only logging that I dropped 3 lbs for weigh ins because I left off at 272...then took a vacation week... which brings me to 269..... feels great.... i really have NOT had time to work out..so Bob has been trying to get ahold of me with no luck...

Ugh - I'm so not feeling good. Late yesterday my sinuses started bothering me. And then, TOM showed up. Should make for an interested WI this week!

It's been rainning here so I haven't been getting out for my big walks. It is supposed to rain up to Thursday. How depressing!

Good morning ladies! Well summer vaction has offically started for us! Today is my oldest sons last day of school and he only goes for an hour so he will be home shortly. I think I am ready for it though, and I know the kids are. It will be nice not to be on such a strict schedule and just chill and enjoy the long summer evenings! I love how much daylight we get in the summer! Well I made it to the gym yesterday for the first time in awhile and it felt wonderful. It felt so good to work my muscles and break into a sweat. I have my lower body to do today and I'm looking forward to that since that is my biggest concern with my body. I did get all my dang laundry done so today is just kinda going to be picking up and then getting out and enjoying the nice weather. It is only supposed to be a high of 65 today and then by tommorow or Thursday up to 90....that is just craziness! Only in sweet home Chicago is weather this wacky! Well I am off to make the beds up and let some fresh air in this house! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Good morning ladies! Well I am happy to report I am back on track and doing great so far this week! I have had urges to overeat but I just go outside with the kids to keep me out of the house. I know I'm not hungry I am just plain bored so getting out of the house seems to work. I have made it to the gym twice this week already and today is cardio only so I am going to enjoy this cooler weather and go for a nice walk/jog outside. Do any of you feel weird jogging around your neighborhood. I don't know why I do....I guess I think I look funny, but I love the feeling of jogging so I am going to push past the akwardness and just do it. I guess I read way more into it then I should. I mean come on like people are sitting in their windows waiting to see me jog on by. It is going to be cool here again and then it looks like tommorow its going up to 90. I was just starting to enjoy my windows open with all the fresh air. Oh well I guess it is summer right? Well I am off to make the beds and eat breakfest and then walk here I come. Have a wonderful day ladies!

Cathy- I love Michigan!!! We go to St. Joe's alot and I love the downtown area and the beach is beautiful! Also this place is so not diet friendly but everytime we go we stop at Redamaks for burgers....hands down the best burger we have ever had! Good think we only go once a year :)

jennylou- hope your feeling better today!

Jen- Has the rain stopped yet? It finally dried up here!

Mo- you are doing fantastic! Your right a loss every week big or small is something to be proud of. Keep it up girl!

Let's pull another Blue victory this week!

It is not raining but it is overcast and cool. My DD1 has a school field trip tomorrow so the little ones and I may go join them.It is a 30-45 min walk and they are gonna be walking for 3 hours looking at rocks.Well probably only 2 cause they will be having a picnic.

Hi ladies,

I haven't had the chance to check in as much as I have wanted to. Today was a bit crazy. Do you ever feel too lazy to make a healthy meal and are so hungry that you just want to eat the quickest thing available - i.e. usually the processed and fast foods? I think this is the dieters biggest hurdle, and downfall. Today I was so lazy that I snacked and grazed and found myself eating a 270 calorie cookie. I also realized that when I am stressed about something, I turn to food. I'm on maternity leave and have to go back into work tomorrow for a meeting and I think it stressed me out - so I turned to the old friends.....food!!! Now that I've been dieting since mid-March - almost 3 months, I've realized what my downfalls have been in the past. I ate WAY too much - little bits at a time, my sons leftovers etc. but these all added up to a whole lot of extra calories in the end - and no exercise. Now that I am eating healthy and exercising, I don't really think too much about what I am missing and have accepted my new lifestyle but today I saw the old habits creeping in and it scared me. In the past I would have just given up right then and binged on anything/everything. I see how well I've done over the last couple of months (22lbs to date) and don't want to go back to that way of living or that body!! Anyhow - sorry to babble on but I just wanted to post about that, get it off my chest and move on.

The weather here in Toronto is pretty crazy. Last night was bloody FREEZING! Apparently friday will be hot again. The colder weather is not the greatest motivation for taking walks! Any of you other Ontarians finding this?
