10. Tell us about yourself! I'm a thirty-something single gal with no kids or pets. I am a bit of a workaholic and live by the work hard, play hard philosophy. I love to cook - healthy and not so healthy recipes and have every imaginable kitchen gadget to play with. I enjoy spending time with friends, family, and love to go out dancing with the girls.

I have a bumper too, between 188 and 191. Of course all the junk I ate over the holidays didn't help much...lol

All right ladies I am off to get us some miles to the moon at the gym......Will be back later! :carrot::carrot:

I am so proud of myself. I did my first 3 mile walk/aerobic video tonight. My lungs really give me problems and I have only been able to do 2 miles videos before. :woohoo:

Oh Deb...many moons ago I had lost 75 lbs and got to 178 and I was stuck there!! never did make it past there so I just KNOW you are going to show me how it is done!

Rennie....Way to go!!! excellent job on that workout!!

I did excellent today, my first day on WW. I'm right on with my points the online thing says 29.5 and I get 30, of course that doesnt count any activity points I get...but I dunno how you use those yet. Actually I think my points might be a little higher because I think I have more rice than it lists, but I know its less chicken so I suppose it evens out somehow. so, as soon as I find something worth watching on the boob I'm gonna get on my elliptical for 30 minutes...yes I'm actually gonna use that thing!! I hope everyone else had as good a day as me!

Hi Ladies! I hope you've all had a great day today. It's been fun reading all the bios. I'm so jazzed about having the red team as a support group. We can do this together!

I just got back from a 3 mile walk. I'm not feeling great today, but I still wanted to get moving since I spent most of the day laying around. My calories are way too low today because I have a sore throat. I may need to make a smoothie tonight to boost my calories.

Rennie-- Great job on the 3 mile video! That's a great achievement.

Melissa-- Way to go on your points!

Tina-- It really feels great when you get a good workout! I'm glad you had a great day.

Barbara-- Yeah on heading out to the gym! I hope you have a great workout.

Muse-- Congrats on the 4 pound loss! I'm impressed by your journals. They're beautiful.

Cathy-- Don't beat yourself up over the gain. 0.4 lbs. is very little. You'll lose it in no time.

Shy - that is awesome! Way to go!!!! I did pilates this morning and "Sizzlin' Salsa" tonight. WATP is on tap for tomorrow :)

Melissa - hope your elliptical workout went well!

Kari - you will be past that bumper in no time! The holidays are past and the challenge is before you - you can do it!

Tina - GREAT day POP! I weigh in on Fridays too :)
