3.5 lbs is an AWESOME loss!!! :bravo:

Have you been eating salty foods or not drinking enough water? I notice when the weather starts getting warmer I start retaining water, so I uped my intake.

Jay – Yeah to you on the 50 lbs lost that’s awesome. I’m hoping my two kids stay around their current weights – Nicholas is about 54 pounds (my ½ way goal) and Christopher is about 110 (my goal) – it’s a good visual for me.

Counting down – you are doing great – see, now you know what to expect – pack that purse full of good treats!!


I'm back in the game with you ladies -- amazing how I can go from feeling like crap when I got up this morning to feeling great after a day OP and with my exercise intact. I promise to kick butt for my next weigh in and make you all proud!!! :D

On a side note -- One of our resident male members is hosting his second 5K for 3FC this coming weekend -- check it out if you are looking for something to do :dizzy: -- I did the first one, very motivating and you can take all weekend to get it done (walk, run, crawl, whatever gets you there)

Ugh! don't get me going on this global warming :censored: Ya know 30yrs ago we were headed for an ice age

:rolleyes: I'm such a goof, I totally spaced on the multi quote feature. I apologize for taking up so much space replying to posts....


Just shake it off and move on girl! :hug: We'll do it this week!!!



:woohoo: that's fantastic!!!

:yes: you did awesome with all that there.


Well I'm caught up and off to go watch CSI Miami finale. :) Have a good evening, sweetdreams, talk to ya'll in the morning.
:grouphug:

you guys are awesome!! :hug: Thanks for the congrats!

Now I'm going to do Jillian frontside and keep it going :carrot::carrot:

I never would have thought I could lose 50 pounds. I've done so many diets in the past and never got anywhere. This time it just seems right that I do this for me...

JAY- WTG...that is something to be really proud of:) Keep up the great work:)

As for the whole fat people causing global warming thing, I think whoever said that should be shot! That has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard in my entire life, and I've heard LOTS of pretty dumb crap;)


Okay I'm off to shower and watch a little tv before hitting the hay! I've had a rough day with my mom and sister, but I'll talk about that tomorrow. I don't have the energy to go into it anymore today!LOL! Have a great evening ladies~

Jay
That is terrific. Congrats on the 50 pounds loss.

JAY - :congrat: 50lbs is awesome!! Great job!

I hope everyone else is well....I'll be doing my weekly post..other than that might be a bit sporadic..just made an international move back to the US and am in transit for a few weeks till I get back to KS...

I have to say that the new Red Team food challenge...is going to be...a CHALLENGE...I do great with exercise..and not so great with food... this is really going to make me think alot..plan, etc....

I look forward to all of our successes!

Hey team!

I just got back from my kids' play tonight. They did a very abridged version of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. It was about 45 minutes long and set in the 1950s. My oldest played Hero, my next daughter played Friar Francis and the Sexton, my son played Borachio, and my youngest was supposed to play Margaret. It was a ton of work for everyone, but so much fun!

I was worried after our dress rehearsal since the kids were forgetting their lines, but they really pulled it together tonight at the performance. I was amazed at how great they were. In three weeks, these kids (ages 4-13) memorized Shakespeare's words, learned their cues and blocking, ran all the back stage area with props, costume changes, etc. and did a fabulous job on their acting. They were terrific. The only sad part was that my 4 year old woke up this morning sick. She threw up all day so we had to cut her out of the play. Dh brought her with him tonight so she could watch. It was so sad when she said, "Mom, that's my line!"

Sorry for bragging. I'm just so proud of my kids tonight! Thanks for letting me share.

Thanks for sharing all your thoughts and experiences about NS. It means a lot to me to hear what you all think about it. I never would have considered it except that my mom and sister already signed up. I'm more into whole foods and have never done a diet plan before.

I am still considering NS for three reasons: 1) my mom, sister, and I can support each other doing it together, 2) I haven't had tons of success lately with calorie counting and whole foods mostly because I get busy, don't stick to the plan, and then just eat whatever is available, and 3) convenience, convenience, convenience -- since I will continue to be very busy for the next few months If I do NS, it will only be temporary to get me through the next couple of months.

I kind of want something that's a no-brainer for the next few months because I have so much on my plate right now (no pun intended). Anyways, I do appreciate the input. Thanks so much!
