urockmom- I am so proud of you girl! 4 miles!!!! You go girl!!! :cheer: :cheer:
Also You are such a blessing to share with others, that to me is what this time of year is all about and your so right...we have plenty and that is alot to be thankful for ;)

Fullsteam- Enjoy your parents tommorow :hug: I am so glad you get to spend the day with them...and I am so glad the kittys are doing better ;) And I am a baby clothes shopper here too, I love to hear about a new baby being born so I can go see what the newest things are at the store :dizzy: there is just way more than there used to be :yes:

Well ladies I am off here to make the girls some supper, looks like tuna and mac and cheese for them, and they love that! catch you all later tonight :grouphug:

Awesome Christian!!! :encore: Congrats to you!!! I hope to be there some day. Just think...two more and you are an official Maintainer!!! Do you have pics that you are going to post when you get there? How did you do the official body fat test?

urockmom: You seriously do ROCK!!! I have never been the kind of person that will go and help in the community. I always think that I should and will but never do anything. I admire you for doing that! I have donated and bought toys for needy families through my church...but never went further than that. Thank you for being the kind of person I wish I was!!!

Fullsteam: I love baby clothes too! They are adorable! I can't wait for my daughter or son to have a baby so that I can buy some.....oh wait a minute...yes I can...they are too young. I am so glad your kitties are doing much better!

Lene: Have fun with your company tonight!

Luckymom: I am not giving up on you! Where are you? We all miss you.

Thankful statement for today: I am thankful for heat in my house. (Just like Lene) It is freezing!! The only good things about being cold: Rings are loose and it makes you feel thinner, you can cuddle in a nice quilt, you are not sweating, you get to wear more clothes and not have to look at arm flab all day, you can wear cords (I love them), you can wear flannel nightgowns (even though hubby hates them), and you can get warm with hubby (if he is a radiator like mine) and get some serious exercise in at the same time ;)

I feel 10 years younger LOL But I am older now ;)

Hattie I got my body fat from a website that you put your inches into, it may not be 100% but it is what I got.. at www.nutrifocus.net ;)

I looked a little awkward in that last face shot so I had to post a better one
 

This one might be better ...I look evil in the other one :lol:

WOW!!! Christian you are gorgeous!! You do look younger. Thanks for sharing! It is so inspiring!

Thanks sis ;) I do feel younger even which is kinda funny :lol:

Well Ladies, One more day till the Concert!!! I am off to hear Third Day :carrot: One of my best friends is going with me and we are going to have a total blast I am sure, I will watch my food intake but for the first time in 20 days I will not be 100% on program, but hey, I deserve to relax a tad ;) Hope you are all having a great day, I will be on later today and maybe in the morning but then I wont be here till Saturday night and I will miss you all BUNCHES, keep each other going ladies we are just a week away from this challenge ending and then one to the next one :hug:

Hi ladies :wave:

Well, as Christie said, 1 more week to go! *gulp*

I had another pretty good scale morning as I was down another 0.5 pound so things are at least moving around this week. I am hoping for a big drop in the morning to make next week at least reasonable. :D

I am going to the gym this evening-not my personal best time to exercise-since that is all I have available today. It seems that all the holiday craziness (e.g. having something every single day) has already started. Today it was baked goodies for DDs school. I have absolutely no idea what they tasted like since it was a new recipe and I didn't eat any but I haven't heard that any kids were poisoned so all is well. ;)

Christie-You have a tremendous time at the concert! You have been doing so well and I know that even one day slightly off plan won't derail you for long! We'll all be waiting to hear about it on Saturday. Ohhhh, and I almost forgot- the pictures are fabulous!!!!! I can't believe that it is the same person. I bet you can't either! You look loads younger and so much healthier and I love your hair!

Hope all of you are having a wonderful day!

I am thankful today for all of you-my 3FC Thanksgiving Challenge buddies-because I am feeling strong and successful on my weight loss journey and it is totally because of all of your support. So YOU ROCK CHICKS!!! :grouphug:

Hi everyone:wave:

Just a quick note because it is past my bedtime....

Everything is OP.

Christian: Have a great time at the concert. We can't wait to hear about it.

Urockmom: Good going on not tasting the treats!

I am thankful today for my dogs. They are so affectionate and give us unconditional love every day! They are big dogs that want to be small enough to get in my lap and curl up. Harley (my girl dog) lays her front half on my lap while her back half is still standing on the ground. She actually has fallen asleep like that! So today...thank you puppies for being in my life!

Hi gals!

Soooooo cold here today. There was no way that I was going for a run. I had myself all ready to get on the exercise bike and school calls to remind me that DD has an early dismissal! Totally forgot that one. So, I rushed off-with about 1000 other people-to the grocery store to stock up for Thanksgiving and next week. Crazy, crazy. People bashing carts together, cutting each other off, diving for turkeys. :dizzy: I only hope that I have everything and don't have to go back on Tuesday or Wednesday when things reach a fever pitch. :D

So, anyway, I have been OP so far today and will try to get my workout in later today. Tomorrow I'll be hauling turkeys & fixings as of 6am so that might count as both my weight an cardio workout! Had my WI this morning and am down 2# for the week. That still leaves 4 pounds before Thanksgiving, which is probably not going to happen unless someone cuts some part of me off but I am making progress.

How goes the day for you ladies? Hope you are all staying warm. Hattie~Are you using the dogs as blankets?

Hi everyone:wave:

urockmom: CONGRATS! on the 2 lbs!! That is great! Who cares if you don't make goal...You are doing an awesome job!!! That is two less to roll into the Christmas challenge.

YOOHOO...Fullsteam and Lene... where are you? I hope everything is ok with you both. Probably just busy.

Thankful statement for today:

I am thankful for having a computer! I wouldn't have met you all without it!
