Just wanted to say good morning! I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

just coming in quick to wish everyone a good Monday! I am off from work today so it is better than normal

I posted my weight, I didn't lose anymore over the night so I posted a 2 pound loss for the week.

I did make it to 24 Hour this morning for a 30 minute elliptical session! Felt good afterwords and may go back this evening for another 30 minutes to an hour depending on when the hubby gets home from work.

Now it's time to enjoy the day out with my son who is off from school today as well.

Good morning ladies! Well it felt good to sleep in today, again!LOL! Today is Monday and the eating is going to get back on track today....no matter what! I am going to the gym sometime today, just not sure when yet. I still haven't had Kev post my pics yet, and he won't be able to tonight. I'll have to try it again. I haven't felt it outside yet, but it looks cold. Last night Kev and I watched 3 Dirty Sexy Money in a row...they were really good. I didn't realize how far behind we were. Now though there are no new ones coming up, I wish this writers strike would get resolved soon. That's about it for me though, not a whole heck of a lot happening.

Andi- Great job on getting to the gym this morning...enjoy the day with your son!

Roni- Great job on the loss girl...that is great!

Chellez- Hi right back at ya

Melissa- Good morning

Have a great day ladies~

Debalicious.....I had to laugh at your lesson, thats hilarious! But you still got a workout in thats pretty amazing! Way to go! I hope this coming week is even more successful for you!

mom23cb.... Good morning!!

Diva...woohoo!!! Congrats on a successful week! See even the king cant keep you down once you get that determination going! Excellent job!

Andi...congrats on that 2 lbs!!! that is excellent news! I hope you enjoy your day off!!

Tina...back to business today!! I love sleeping in, but this is my quiet time so I generally just get my butt up and out of bed. I'm with you on the writers strike, although because of it they are doing a Big Brother, which I LOVE in the summer so I suppose that is a good thing LOL! Have a wonderful day!

We must have lots of sleeping in going on today!! LOL! I hope everyone has a fantastic OP day! Be good to you! Remember your goals and let them guide you to success! We can do this Red team!!

Forgot to tell you! I've decided not to do 2 different weigh ins. So this week's weigh in for me is just the weight I was at my WW meeting. I think it'll make things easier. Stinks because that weight is with all my clothes on and after breakfast and my starting weight is not, but it'll all catch up in the end.

Dont forget to update your weigh in post!

Hi guys, sorry about my 1 pound gain. I worked my butt off this week at the gym and I ate alright, not 100% but my weight went up and down all week. I am hoping to see 199 by next weigh in though!

Morning Everyone! I'm healthy again - YAY! I walked 3 miles this morning and I will try to do some weights this afternoon.

I had a great weekend. Had the girls afternoon on Sat. Sat in the jacuzzi with dh on Sat. night. It was wonderful. Yesterday was my mom's birthday party. Dinner was healthy and delicious and I could even fit cake into my calories. Everyone laughed at me for weighing my cake though! I also enjoyed an on-line reunion with my girlfriends from college.

So I'm on top of the world this morning! Now back to reality. My house fell apart last week while I was sick. I have sooo much cleaning to do.

I hope everyone has a great OP day today. I've been reading and enjoying all your posts. Thanks so much for sharing your lives with me.

cakses...no need to apologize! Scales are for fish and sometimes they dont do what we want them to. Next week will be fantastic! Just keep up the good work!! You can do this!

Jen...woohoo!! Love your energy today!! So great to hear that you are feeling well again!! Its gonna be a great week for you i can tell already!!

2. What is your exercise goal for the week?

3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

4. If you could vacation anywhere in the world where would it be?

5. Who is your inspiration?

Have fun!!

Good morning ladies! Had a good day yesterday. but I did have some cake, it was my Aunt and Uncle's birthday. But I did good and had a small piece. Normally I would have just had a big piece and said oh well. So I am proud of myself for that.


1. What is something you accomplished last week that you are proud of? journaling every single day.

2. What is your exercise goal for the week? to get more in then I have been. Haven't exercised much at all.

3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? where there is NO snow. (lived in Alaska 22 yrs, tired of the snow)

4. If you could vacation anywhere in the world where would it be? hmm that's a hard one, but would love to go to Australia, France and Italy

5. Who is your inspiration? All the ladies and men that I see who have weighed as much, close to, more then myself and made it to their goals, shows me that it can be done, and I just have to work at it.

Kari....excellent job with that cake moderation!!! My sister lives in Alaska!

Okay my answers:
1. What is something you accomplished last week that you are proud of?
I am most proud of getting my PTA stuff organized!

2. What is your exercise goal for the week?3x this week, I'm starting Week 1 of C25K

3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? Right where I am! I love Montana although I'd like to be in the Flathead Valley

4. If you could vacation anywhere in the world where would it be? Hawaii, and I will go someday! But not till I'm skinny LOL!

5. Who is your inspiration? Corny as it may sound but my inspiration is the Red team! I'm inspired by the everyday heroes those people who get up every morning and no matter what they reach for their goals! Sticking to plan and getting in that exercise...thats what inspires me. It shows me that I can do it too, I just have to DO it!

Cat, don't be sorry about a one pound gain! I find that my weight goes up and down quite a bit: if I'm up one pound for a week, I'm down two pounds the next. Water weight is so tricky! It sounds like you're doing well so just keep up the great work and you'll see that ticker go down soon!

Just want to say how much I love this thread - you all put a smile on my face when I get to hear about everyone's adventures

I'll answer the survey stuff when I get back to NYC tomorrow. Is it sad that I really miss my gym? The good news is, even without working out yesterday, I was only 50 cals over my goal for the day. Not bad especially since we were watching football and drinking! Just one day to go and I can REALLY get back on plan.

Good morning to all. Feeling really good about the challenge. To date lost 6.6 pounds! Need to get up to speed on exercising, but doing really good on portion control and quality of food.

I forgot to metion that yesterday when we were at my aunt's house, my little cousin (7 yrs old) told me that I was getting skinny! That felt really good to hear her say that. Especially since it came from her. She's a very spoiled only child and usually if it doesn't concern her, she's not interested in it. So I must be making some good progress for her to notice!
