Hi Everyone,

Just checking in to keep myself accountable. Completed workout #4 - 2 Week Turnaround Weights. Hope to complete #5 tomorrow and keep myself on track as long as this sore throat doesn't get worse.

I also signed up for My Fitness Pal. I'm still trying to figure out how to use the exercise tracker, but figured out my calories and also used the recipe builder which is really cool.

Have a great weekend!

Hi everyone. I'm being accountable right now. (so funny ThinkinTHin5 you're feeling the same way...)

2 X this week I walked at lunch time. 1 for a 1/2 hour and today for 20 minutes. I hope to add more exercise to my life.

Since Thanksgiving I've been maintaining. I'm happy with that, but come the new year I want to work harder at losing again.

Well the last 3 days have been awesome I ate lunch then after lunch I got dressing in my walking/workout clothes then went for a 1/2 mile each day. I have been1 1/2 miles in three days that is really good for me

Counting Calories don't seem to get easier for me I hate math lol...

I am hoping to be able to get me a treadmill in Jan. When my mama had one couple years ago I would walk on it while I watched tv or listen to music and loved it so hoping I can do that again.

Good job on the workout chicks. I will check out the my fitness pal and see if it can help me.

My eating habits are going to take a hit between Christmas and new years, but I am going to try! Good luck to everyone!

Mine too, DH and I will be away on a mini vacay...that's why I'm trying to make a good, solid push this next week! After my final WI next Friday, I plan to stay off the scale until the first Friday after New Years, hopefully that will give me some time to reverse some of the damage I'll be sure to do. Wishing you luck too!!

Hey everyone!
After another week of rest, I’m finally starting to feel better. I decided to start exercising again yesterday and got in a 45 min walk and a short pilates video. After all that time off, it really does feel good to get moving again I finally ordered a WATP video so that I can walk indoors, because it’s freezing here! Weirdly enough, it was 13 (55 F) and rainy on Thursday and today it’s sunny but feels like -13 (8 F). Brrr.
After all that time off, my scale hasn’t moved in a while. I’m hoping that when I get back to exercising regularly it’ll start moving again.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Northern: I’m glad you’re feeling better and congrats on the loss!
Fitterchick: Good luck to you too. I’m going to try to stay OP after Christmas, but if I don’t it’s not a big deal. What’s the point in going through this is we have to worry constantly and can’t enjoy the holidays, right?
Country: Congrats on the workouts! That’s great!
Chicksinger and Thinkin: Good job staying accountable here! Hope your sore throat gets better, Thinkin!
Jmfan: Great job with the workouts!
Tdi: I’m sorry about your relative I’m glad you were able to spend the time with your family.
Toobig: I’m so sorry to hear that your family is going through such a hard time. Don’t worry about your eating plan right now. Take all the time you need, and you’ll be able to get back on track after you start to feel a bit better.

Unfortunately the sore throat got the best of me today so I won't be getting in my 5th workout this week. I'm going to take it easy this weekend and try to get back to my Zumba workout on Monday.

Congrats to everyone with their successes and near successes this week. As others have said, we need to be kind to ourselves during this time of year. Being aware is a success in itself.

Thinkin hope you get better. I completed my last day of strength trainin. Tomorrow is my last day of cardio. Then I have weigh in Monday morn. I'm so scared to see it. I hope I don't gain weight. Then this wk I move onto level 1 of Extreme shed & shred the new Jillian dvd I got.

Hi everyone!

[jmfan317]

Did my last day of cardio. Woo Hoo! I don't believe I did all 5 of my wrkouts last wk and all 5 this wk. 2mrw is weigh in after 2 wks. I hope the scale will be gud 2 me.

[Countrybarbie24]

jm hope the scale is awesome to you..

thinkinthin- sorry about ur sore-throat those are the worst hope you get to feeling better soon..

so I went to the ymca this morning for an RC indoor fly meet and well I went to the locker room and weighed on the manual scale. I weighed 15 pounds less on it than I did on my digital at home this morning. One the scales is wrong. I am really liking the manual scale weight better. I am a CNA so I do know how to work a manual scale lol(just incase anyone think that is the problem lol) So should I go by the manual scale and just minus pounds when I weight at home or should I just forget about the manual scale number and count with the digital scale?

I am also happy to say that today after left indoor flying and went to one club it was lunch time so my bf asked if I wanted something to eat. I was like yes!!! so we on way McDonald and I saw subway. I was like hey I want subway my bf like really I said yes so I got BLt with light mayo and lots veggies and mustard. I was so proud my self but did have lrg sweet tea from McDonald I can't give those up lol. I also drank like 40oz water last night for supper and 20oz this morning for brakefast

I’m happy to say that I’m feeling much better and I had a good OP weekend. I’m getting back in the habit of walking my parents’ puppy every day, so I’m pretty happy about that. And my workout video came in the mail today (on a Sunday! I was very surprised), so I’m looking forward to being able to walk inside on really cold days
I went out to dinner to a wing place with my family tonight and I’m proud to say that instead of ordering the deep-fried chicken wings, I ordered a make-your-own salad (and I made it healthy ). I did have one wing, just to try it, but I took off the skin first. And I have to say that the skinless wing actually looked more appetizing. Maybe my tastes are starting to change?
Hope everyone had an awesome weekend.

Country: Not sure which scale is actually right, but I’d probably stick with your digital one for right now, just because it’s in your home and will be easier for you to weigh in. And if it’s the one that you first weighed in on, it gave you your starting weight. So while you might actually weigh 15 pounds less, you also started out weighing 15 pounds less too, and changing scales might get a bit complicated.
Jm: Hope the scale treats you well tomorrow!
Toobig: Hi!
Thinkin: Hope you feel better soon! Take it easy until you’re well.

Still holding things together. I went missing last week but I got my juju back. I'm not going to weigh in until Christmas day. I don't know what's happening with my body because I've been eating what I shouldn't buuuuut some of my clothes are feeling loose. I have a pair of jeans that I hadn't worn in a while that were tight on me and I was scared to put them on yesterday but when I did put them on they were more loose than they were when I last wore them and was heating healthy.

Happy Monday, ladies!

Just checking in. I never made it to DH's office Christmas party on Friday. I was looking forward to it, but had a bit of a re-lapse with my cold/flu whatever I've been fighting and was just too run down to go out that night. I guess the good news is it saved me a lot of calories! I stayed right around the high end of my budget calorie-wise the rest of the weekend, so that was good. Even got some weights/yoga in last night.

I will be taking about a week off from calorie counting after Friday, so I'm pushing for a strong finish this week!!
