Thank you! And I'll try that I'm gonna put lemon juice in it. Some one on here recommended it and so did my therapist coincidentally lol

[Sinderelly]

Hoping I am down at least a pound tomorrow! My weight seems to not want to move lately

[ange82much]

this is perfect for me! Thanks for organising amandie.

I'm just starting back here, but i'm off back to visit family in UK on 8th July - so 10 weeks commitment is what i need!

Aiming for 9lb. I only weighed in for first time yesterday, so not sure i'll lose much by tomorrow lol, but after that it's game on!

i'm with you on this one. Hate cooking and don't do it (much). Mainly live on cereal for brekkie and salads lunch and dinner! Lots of different salads though (i've been in US the last two weeks and notice that the definition of a salad over there seems to have to include lettuce!?!) There's lots of other veggies to make salads from!

Hubby does cooking at a weekend, and we often make a big batch of curry or chilli or ratatouille, or risotto or casserole of some sort, which then gets divided in to portions (in plastic bags) and put in freezer - then i'll often have a bag of 'something' from the freezer with veggies, or with salad.

Interesting. I have done that but only to help me drink more water because sometimes water is so... bland, lol.

Sinderelly- I'm there with you for non-scale moving. Grr. for you come tomorrow!

, ange82much! Glad to have you join us! 9lbs is doable! Good luck.

What great ideas and easy too! Thanks.

I am down 37 lbs. My goal with WW is 50 so I hope I get there. I have done so many different diets and find that WW is the one for a lifestyle change. I feel great, i'm finally eating fruits and veggies and it seems my body must have been missing them. It takes people like you to make people like me see there may be an end in site. Thanks to you for the encouragement.

[Delphi]

adlea ~ You are almost there. Apparently WW is doing wonders for you. Keep up the amazing work. I'm sure you will see that 50!

angel82much ~ Thanks for the helpful advice. Glad I am not the only one in the "I hate to cook" club. Lets burn some calories and see those 9 pounds just fly off, shall we?

sinderelly ~ Sending fat melting vibes your way. Sure hope you see that pound tomorrow.

wolfgirl ~ Hope that bloat gets under control for ya!

sum38 ~ Sure hope you see that top 10. You have just been dropping those pounds.

tehshort1 ~ Glad to have you aboard.

amandie ~ Well and a big on that drop. I know you are excited...heck, I'm excited for you. I know it must feel great to see that scale budge after a stall. My bodymedia is identical to a body bugg. Its main purpose is a calorie expenditure calculator I guess. So I have a pretty good idea what I burn all day as opposed to like a HRM. Thing is great cause it connects to all my apps like myfitnesspal to keep track of my intake and runkeeper and even eardnit (which if any of you have not used this site I recommend it. Its free. all you do is workout and you earn points for your workouts which in turn you can use your points to redeem for stuff/products etc or what I do is donate my points towards the various charities they have. Great site.) In any case, it really is a great tool for my weight loss and is highly accurate. The math really adds up. As I create my deficits based on what the body media says I burn minus my intake, I lose the weight accordingly. I have been very happy with it. Though, I have wore it so long now I think I have a pretty good grasp on what I burn on off days and what I burn on very active days and where I need to keep my calories. I have to wear it 24 hours a day which can be a pain seeing as I'm in the sun a lot and now I have a beautiful white ring around my arm..lol!

Well I really need to get to work. I think I am going to hit the gym after work instead of going to the greenway, as I want to get 5 miles in today. I'm actively looking for a new course to run though, just haven't found one yet. Well you guys have an amazing day! I'm gonna bust through my 5 hours and then burn some calories.

[Sum38]

I had a hungry day yesterday and I loaded up on carbs and the scale shows it Still down quite a bit for the week, but I could have been a good pound more.

Delphi Have a nice run today!! I will walk 5 miles

[Thedollylala]

Weigh in today even tho I'm up, stupid tom, next week will be better, my hormones are back with a vengeance. But ive been on point and haven't faltered so I know it's not me. I plan to run today 4 miles, I'm gonna try

[zoesmom]

Today, I dreaded the scale. I haven't budged since my weird jump over the weekend. I'm pretty much back at square one, plus some. I still don't get it. Has to be stress. I've been 100% compliant outside of that 1/2 cupcake on friday last week and I haven't gotten too crazy with my workouts. I mean, I added in walks and jogs and such, but I ommitted my treadmill time to accomidate it, so I am at a loss. Oh well. Here's to movement next week (in the RIGHT direction this time!)

Sorry about the carb loading, but awesome on the loss Sum!

tehshort and angel82 to our little club house! Here's to burning fat and shedding pounds!

Delphi - you have way too many cool little gadgets. Although, I have to admit, don't envy the ring around the arm look you are sporting. Gosh, 5 miles. And here I can barely get through a mile on a good day (yesterday I didn't even get 3/4 of a mile, but I had a cake contract I had to work on so it took some time from me.) Oddly, my legs hurt today...in my inner thighs only though. Got to admit, that's a new one for me. And I didn't even do anything out of the ordinary yesterday, did less even.

Thedollylala - I wish I could blame TOM on my upward trend. Who knows, maybe that is it and I don't know it. I doubt it though. I have to guess on my TOM....I haven't had a period in at least eight years. First it was endometriosis, then it was pregnancy, then it was an IUD. I mean, the good thing is, I am 30 and haven't had to buy tampons through most of my 20's. The bad thing is, after a few years, you stop counting and just guess. And I am pretty sure I guessed it two weeks ago when I had unbearable cramps and that was all...I guess it could have been a mild stomach bug. SO FRUSTRATING trying to figure that one out! Anyways...you'll have a better week next week, I just know it!

adlea - commmmmon 50! I am so excited for you!

sinderelly - hoping you have a better weigh in than me

wolfgirl - sending good vibes your way. Bloating sucks so hard

amandie - yeah for your move!!!! You deserve it!

[wolfgirl69]

I didn't do the best this week idk why I only had one fail day. Just hasn't been a good week for me emotionally. I've lost 9 pounds this last month! Just not this week... xD 2 pounds lost since last weigh in. 171.

P.S. I GOT RID OF THE TOM BLOAT! YES!

[Leaves]

Weighed in at 148 for this week! yay!

And planning on trying another run this afternoon. eek.
