Hi everyone sorry I was not around this weekend. I am back and look forward to catching up with everyone. I had an OP weekend. I am hoping to get to 148 by July 4. As long as I see the 140's I will be happy with my loss in the last month.

Nikki

Hey Nikki!

Hi Girls,

I fell off but I'm fighting hard to get back into it, starting NOW. Gotta exercise tonight to make it official. Hehe. Haven't had time to read the thread and catch up with what everyone's been up to, but you are still here and that's what matters. Keep it up!

HEY LADIES!! sorry i havent been around this weekend. I had my GRE test on friday and i totally bombed it. i mean 50 points less and i would have done the worst you can possibly do. not because im not intelligent enough for it, but because i made a mistake that through off the whole test. and then i let my frustrations get the best of me. i didnt eat so well this weekend at all!! oh well, typically i would get super depressed and just give up, but im trying to fight it off the best i can. i made a schedule to try to keep me on track. i know i shouldnt let a test get me down this much, but i needed to do well on it. now i have to put my graduate school plans on hold for at least another 6 months. such a pain. oh well, ill get through it. so far today ive eaten well and exercised, so thats of the good. I walked 2 miles and did pilates. Had 386 cals (goal:1600) and 5 grams (goal: trying to stay under 25%) of fat.

aimee-congrats!!
hi nikki-hope you meet your goals!! keep up the hard work!!

talk to you girls later!

.. So, I'm the girl who took a week( and some nudging) to figure out we all moved to a summer thread. Sorry ladies!
WW is going alright. Everything in my fridge and pantry is tattoo'd with points values. I've been packing my lunches for work everyday, which is really helping.
Some of that extra weight has dropped off, but certainly not all of it.
My summer goal is simply to establish a exercise routine, and stick to it. At this point I just want more energy and to be stronger.
Congratulations on the promotion Aimee! That's so awesome!

For those of us doing WW, should we set a weigh in day every week, like they do at the meetings? I think that would help keep us accountable :)

Jen - weight in day sounds like a good idea to me. I usually weigh in on Fridays, but I am fine with any day for 'our weigh in' - just not Monday's! haha

I did amazingly well this weekend - this is the first weekend in over 6 months I have not gained water weight Monday morning - and it was even a long weekend. I did use some flex points but will have at least 20 left for the week - tomorrow is the start of week two, but I am thinking about using a couple points tonight for a weight watchers dessert. I was pretty sick all weekend so spent a lot of my weekend just laying around and watchings movies - today I did some cleaning/organizing witch was nice.

On a side note - I need to brag!! My dog and I won first place (out of over 1300 entires) in a photo contest! I enter this contest every single months (since october!) and this is our first time winning - and first place none the less! The contest really is based on your photography skills more then how cute you dog is - you can tell that most people who win are pro phographers or close to it. anyway, I am still in shock that we won!

Tiffany - welcome back!! You will always remain the exercise queen to me!

angeleyes - thanks! What are you going to school for? How's the dieting thing going these days?

Jen - what a GREAT idea, putting the points value on everything in your fridge! I love that idea, I might even steal it! Thanks, my transfer date is quickly approaching... its amazing how fast things can happen!

Courtnie - Congrats on the win! And the fancy blanket, hehe.

So what are you all thinking of as a weigh in day? I am weighing today, only because I started last Tuesday so it'll be a 1 week weighin for me. Infact, I should go do that now.. bbs!

Hi Everyone-

Tiffany-way to go on getting back to it !


Jen-I'm glad you found us :)Good going with the WW

Angeleyes-Sorry about the GRE. I stink on standardized tests. Good luck with your goals.

Courtnie-Way to go on the contest and your amazing weekend :carrot:

Aimee-Hope you are doing well.

My July 4 challenge ends tomorrow. I am hoping I at least managed to lose a pound this week. I plan to stay low carb tomorrow. I was going to eat some potatoe salad but decided to make a mock potatoe salad using cauliflower. Its just not work screwing with the atkins at this point. I would feel to guilty to enjoy the carbby food.


Have a wonderful holiday ladies
Nikki

Day one of week two and I already used 3.5 flex points! haha
i kinda figured that would happen today, anyway - I wont use any tomorrow I sware!

I had a good day - bought LOTS of produce, tons of fruits and veggies! So I think I am ready for the week!

I am ending the day at 28 points even! Woohoo! NO flex points, I only say this because last week I started the first day UP in flex points.
