Great job Mama!!!! I'm just so excited that I completed week 5 day 3 on Friday. AHHHH... I just realized that today I should be doing week 6 day 1 but that I have plans tonight... I might have to go home early and get that run in before "the plans!"

Hi everyone!

This weekend was tough. Busy running around so I didn't get much accomplished. Saturday eating was not the greatest. Did OK Sunday and I did get some exercise on the treadmill. It wasn't a total loss!

Hope everyone has a great day and accomplishes many goals!

JameJo, it shows real dedication to go home and make sure you get that run before the big plans, I applaud you

I haven't done it YET Mama! Don't give me credit until I report back tomorrow. Cuze running means taking another shower...getting ready all over....geez - I sound like one of those people that are full of excuses! teehee!

Okay, I will hold my praise to be awarded tomorrow

So far so good for me here. I am about to go eat lunch, but feeling very strong and determined, which hasn't happened in awhile so I feel like I may finally be back on the losing track...finnnalllly~

Starting a new week. Wasn't too sucessful last week. Especially the weekend. A few things happened and went downhill, but I'm ready for a new week.

Me too, BarbaraJean, started fresh today and did pretty well we can do it, hang in there

MAMA - I DID IT! week 6 day 1 complete! Went home and did it right away, even lifted and it paid off on the scale this morning so I'm all kinds of excited today! Just stick with it ladies - back on the wagon!

great job, JamieJo Let's make it pay off even more today, right?

Yep!!! Today is your off day, right?

So far so good this week Sunday had a few slips but Monday went well. I started the Couch to 5K program yesterday and had an extreme eating day and it all paid off with a 5.4 pound loss yesterday! I highly doubt I can repeat that (and likely should NOT) I had a slim fast for each breaky, lunch and supper and a couple apples for snacks. Likely way too few calories for the day but it did kick-start things for me and now my motivation is PUMPED!! I amheading out to get some shopping done this afternoon and plan to scan and make copies of my "skinny" picture (back from highschool when I weighed around 175 and wore a size 11 and felt greaat). I'll post a picture here (partly for motivation but partly for the fun of laughing at the early 80s hair, glasses and outfit!) I also plan on posting the picture on the fridge and cupboard doors so I see and it remember my goal whenever I am tempted to fall off the wagon and eat Let's keep up the good work gang!

W T G Econ Nerd! I LOVE the C25K. If you stick with it, it really will make you a runner!

I used to be a runner and have fallen off that wagon. I know how good it made me feel (and how much I was able to eat and still lose). Hubby and I have actually run a half marathon once (in 2005) I'm not sure if I am keen on doing that again (13 or so miles is a heck of a long way!!) I do however want to get back to a regular running routine. I think building up to running 5K three times a week will do me good and is my fitness goal When we trained for the half marathon we used a similar training program (it might even be from the same webpage). They have a really good system set up that is really do-able.

I'm ready for fresh start too, barbarajean and Mama! Yesterday was so blah after an equally blah weekend but I'm in a much better mood today and ready to tackle my goals!

Way to go JamieJo!

Awesome loss econ! I don't know if I've ever seen such a large number missing on the scale! Congrats to you! I'm also thinking about dragging out some old pics of myself for inspiration. But I think if I do I'll tack them up in the pantry ... right on the snack bins! lol

Have a great day everyone!

I had a lunch meeting and didn't do too bad with the choices they had - chicken, veggies and penne pasta in an alfredo type sauce and salad. I had a chicken breast and picked veggies out of the pasta (and had a little bit of the pasta), lotsa salad and a bun (and skipped the dessert - lemon slice - which I have had before and it's not worth it ) I done good
