Good for you Lumi - Remember you've come this far - #.6 of a pound a week is nothing compared to the #60 you've already lost! Keep your ticker updated and we'll watch each other hit our goals!

I went looking for yesterday's posts and realized that people had been posting a lot since then. Thanks for the welcome, and Tyler -- love that picture. One of my favorite movies of all time.

Almost didn't walk today. I'm behind where I wanted to be for my minutes exercised, but I peeked at the scale yesterday, and WOW. Not a huge loss, but it's moving. My official weigh in will be on Monday, so we'll see.

It did get me moving this morning, though.

Today's been a good day for food for me. I think the scale last night scared my body into submission and my cravings into hiding!!! No real exercise today thanks to 90+ temps being back, but I did get in the .6 mile walk home from work this morning and an additional mile in the middle of the night DURING work and I think after Johnny goes to bed I'll see about popping in a dvd and doing at least one of the 10 minute workouts.

Thanks for all the words of encouragement! I spent years on the official WW message boards and never seemed to get the support I get from you "chicks"!!! It really does make it seem like all is not a lost cause

Welcome to the new folks -- you're going to LOVE this group!

Congrats to the losers ... and also to those of us who haven't lost for not giving up!!!



NOW I'm going to go figure out where that birthday boy of mine is hiding and see if he wants to get in a good snuggle and watch a movie with his Momma!

Hey all. I was the same weight when I weighed Thursday (in Chicago now). I thought I would lose a little, but it's probably water--we had Chinese the night before. What is wrong with me? Who eats chinese the night before a weigh in? Such brilliance

Have a great weekend!
Kathy

Hi All~I just found this challenge. I hope it isn't too late to join the Christmas Challenge. I just counted on the calendar, it is 27 weeks (Mondays) until Christmas. I would challenge myself to lose at least 30 pounds. I am starting at 192-30=162#. My goal is 150. That would put me within 12# of goal. Doable. It takes me through the hardest holidays, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the week of Christmas. Can I join the group? Count me in. I can do 500 miles by Christmas, I already have 7 miles walked this week. Pat

Welcome, Dixiemae!!!
I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say good luck and we look forward to getting to know you better!

Welcome Dixiemae!

Happy Saturday everyone! I've got a Father's Day BBQ today and I'll be biking as exercise. I forgot (again) that we weigh in on Fridays:

Last Friday I was 169.6, this Friday I was 166, so that's a 3.6 pound loss. Yay!

Welcome Karyn, Kate and DixieMae, we're glad you found us!

Hey to all the rest of ya. Hope everyone has great plans for the weekend! I am going to get out this am and go for a walk/jog, then later I think we are going to take off for a while on the motorcycle if it isn't raining. I would just as soon be out of the house, it keeps my mind off food! I am usually so good during the day, but at night, I am the mindless muncher! Got to get that figured out...

Busy weekend ahead for me, Shopping today, I'm going to fit in a DVD at some point, Boot Camp I think. Fathers day Brunch with my Dad and then off to the in laws for dinner. I am going to try to remember Friday weigh in's I was 176 So that will be my start! Happy Saturday all.

"Have yourselves a merry little weekend!"

I am on my way for a morning walk! And then a yummy oatmeal breakfast. My little boy's birthday party is today, and I have decided in advance that it's not about the food. I don't need to eat cake to celebrate him! Cake just makes me feel yucky, anyway. It tastes good for a few moments, and then I get either a sugar high, or a crash. So, no cake for me today. (:

Hi everyone~
W~8-8oz glasses
E~good, could have been better
E~3 mile walk this evening
D~one step at a time

Had a pretty good day. I hope everyone else had a great day. What day is weigh in day for the group? I usually weigh in on Mondays. Keeps me honest over the weekend. Thanks Pat

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I have managed to survive the food-oriented Father's Day event my family had, so it should be smooth sailing for today, yay!

Dixiemae, most people here weigh in on Friday, but it's not mandatory!

Josephine, good for you at staying focused during Father food fest!

Hi Everyone~Thank you for the warm welcome. Mother Mavis~ I weighed in this morning because tomorrow morning I have to be in he court room at 8:45 am. I am going to be an absolute nervous wreck. Divorce hearing. I will walk in married leave a divorced woman. I will be lost for a while. I will need to be VERY mindful of what I eat. I weighed in at 190.8 Yeah!!

192.0
-190,8 =1.2 Lost

After the hearing I am going to my sisters' and spend the day. I don't want to be alone. I may not post tomorrow. I will have to wait and see how I feel. Right now I am upset about the whole deal. Thanks Pat

Dixiemae: We will be thinking of you tomorrow! Be good to yourself, you are worth it!
