    I don't have time to right a long post (got to get to bed), but I just wanted to come up here and say I GOT A WII FIT PLUS FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! I'm SO excited!!!
    that is so awesome!!! I love mine my mom just got a wii and has order her wii fit plus today have fun, and try not to get too sore
  • i'm down to 150.4 this morning which is great I had been up to 153.8 in this past week....but was 152.4 yesterday, so yesterday's hard work paid off I only showed a .4 loss compared to last week, but knowing what i had gained this past week and was able to lose it back and a little extra i'm happy. i'll just keep trying to have great days on exercise and eating with my calories and I should be able to hit goal by the time hubby gets home
    less than 3 months till my hubby gets on US soil so gotta lose this weight and get back in shape
  • MoteCristo-Hope your birthday was great! Sounds like a fun gift, too. Enjoy!!

    AW-Great job on the calorie burn and loss! WOW!

    The scale is down a little for me too, so i was glad to see that. I'm almost there, but I already know I will continue to lose as I work on lowering my body fat once I reach goal. I gotta still help out the team!
  • I don't know what happened, but I went to step of my scale this morning for my weigh in and it's not showing a reading at all. I think it might have broken, or a wire disconnected or something. So I think I'm going to have to post the same weight as last week since I don't really know where I am for this week. I'm going to head into town tomorrow and buy a new scale I suppose.
  • Hi everyone! Trying to get back into posting regularly....things are finally slowing down at work and life is getting back to normal. Went a little crazy food-wise around my birthday (Friday, the 6th....yikes! 49!!) but am getting that back on track too. Hopefully contained the damage enough so that I won't be crying when I weigh in tomorrow! Looking at the schedules for exercise classes at the various locations of the gym we belong to.....those aqua aerobics classes are looking pretty good...

    Happy birthday to Monte Cristo too! Was yours the 6th or the 7th?
  • this week has been awful! i got my exercise challemge out of the way early since on thrusday had to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled out! OUCH! then called in sick from work both sat and today, woke up this morning with a swollen uvula cant eat any solid food for about a week after the surgury it is awful cant barely swallow cause of this golf ball stuck in my throat, i guess it will look nice for the weigh in but it doesnt feel nice, ugh ugh ugh! i hope everyones week and weekend was better then mine
  • girls!

    I gained.

    That's all.
  • Armywife - good job on the loss. Glad to know things are settling down for you. That was quite a scare!

    Monte - Happy (belated) birthday!!! Awesome present!

    Jasonslea - don't worry about the gain. I ate chinese food last night. I'm sure I'm up on the scale too. Le sigh.

    Went to the beach yesterday and made it a point to walk as much as I could. Got in my workout and then some! I knew running on the sand is good for resistance training but walking wore my muscles out too! It was fun though. Hubby and I just lazed for 2-3 hours walking and lying down. I took my pedometer to record how many miles I walked and for how long. I felt like I managed to relax and get a workout in, which is good training for maintenance. We ate chinese food last night cause it was late when we got home and we were HONGRAY. I got plain white rice and chicken with black soybeans. I made sure to pick a dish that wasn't made with fried chicken (like Gen. Tso's). This morning, my tummy is sticking out from the sodium (I also tried to avoid sauce, but I guess the sodium bloat was bound to happen) so I'll have to wash it out today and tomorrow. I do feel good about my choices though. I was super hungry and could have easily gone for fried rice and some fried chicken dish, but I made a healthy choice. I WILL see 150 on the scale some day, gosh darnit!!

    Have a good week everyone!
  • Hi All! Sorry I didn't get a new exercise challenge posted yesterday. I will post it sometime this morning. The results for last week's challenge will be posted tomorrow right after the weigh-in results.

    I gained a little this week, probably sodium bloat from the ham we had on Saturday. I was going to take my last freebie, but maybe I better save it for Thanksgiving..........yes I think I'll do that, so I'll be posting a bit of a gain this week........sorry!


    ETA - I'm opening a new chat thread.
