Wow, this is a busy thread but because I committed to join, I am posting my holding fast for this week. No gain no loss. Well, probably a loss considering last weekends mini vacation hot dog and bacon fest at my parents.

I have been very good this week with food not so good with excersize but that is next weeks goal to get at least 40 minutes of good excersize in every other day.

I was able to stop myself from making some eating mistakes by FitDaying some items and looking on the companies websites. The morning bagel sandwich that I allowed myself once a week is 600+ calories!!!!!!!!!! I ate half and the other half went to the mailroom boy.

Well, I am cheating work and leaving a little early.

Have a great weekend,
Amanda

Another lb. loss. Yay!

Im sooo busy today, but I am forcing myself to go to the gym right now for an hour and get it done with! Its my only little block of time today! Yay!

I was joking when I said I wanted to put all the elves names in my signature so I could keep track of it, but then I decided to do it. WOAH! There are so many names that the names alone (no other info) could not fit in the signature area EVEN when I took out my ticker. I'm gonna post it here once so we can get to know each other!

WillMakeIT: 20lbs by the Night Before Christmas[/FONT]

In an attempt to get to know each other, I'm gonna suggest a GAME!

Notice 1 (or 2) things about this list and comment on it. THEN...Tell us 1 (or 2) things about yourself others may not know.

ssqtwife: I notice you are spouse of the military. My husband just got out of the military about 4 years ago. He is now DOD. He was prior Marine. What branch does your hubby serve in? P.S. I miss the perks especially community closeness, but not the danger.

WillMakeIt: I notice the names end at "S" then a bunch of letters go by and you end the alphabet at "W". Is your real name (you don't need to give it to us), at the beginning, middle or end of the alphabet?

Me: I have 3 beautiful boys 3, 7, and 10.

Hi all! Congrats to EVERYONE who's lost or had a NSV or just had a good day! TOM is finally gone and I am very happy. Whew! This thread is SUPER busy! I can't keep up!

DS ~ I can't think of any questions right now. Today has been a busy day. Something about me? I'm 20 and I just learned how to drive. :)

There are no L, Q, U, V, Y, or Z names... Im not surprised about some.. but no L names? Weird!

The kids and I (DH is gone for work) ate ice cream for dinner. It was awesome! I have absolutely no urge to binge, which is very odd for me. I have been doing really well lately.. I hope Im not jinxing myself by saying this.
I actually weighed in at 206.0 this morning, which is the lowest I have been in like 6-8 weeks :) I have yo-yoing between 206.4 and 211.2 for weeks and weeks.

waves and contrats to everyone on their great work! ~ok so i went to my first WW meeting yesterday .. eep! .. and then when i had a ton of questions about it all .. storms came thru and wiped out my internet satellite for the last 24 hours .. sighs .. talk about withdrawals!
Sooo i put on my game face.. and dove in ..and if i must say so myself .. i did great today! still have 4 points left to spend for the day which i am saving for some fat free popcorn durin a movie here in a bit.. which will still leave me 2 .. so i was very conservative today just to make sure i could budget all my points which i have found .. if i think ahead .. and plan .. i am more than able to do so .. also i hit the grocery store and had my list and bought things that are allowable ..even some fruit! *gasps* I think i can live with weight watchers cause its program is made to live with me .. and with 2 teenage sons in the house .. i have to be able to make anything and still enjoy .. just gotta budget !! any tips or suggestiosn would be great!!
p.s. i hope to catch up soon on all these posts... it don't pay to lose internet for 24 hours with ya'll!!!!!

Did my running 1 mile routine! I had a slice of apple pie at Marie callenders. I dint know they had a "no sugar added" one too! Wow, I really liked it! infact I liked it better than than the regular one with sugar! The natural sweetness of the apples felt so good!
I wont call it cheating because it was just one slice and second I had a small salad for lunch yesterday and today!

My weight is just stuck on 147 for whole last week....

Keep going everyone!

HEHEHEH!

If you come across a better rich creamy cheesecake alternative, let me know cuz I'm looking.

HI everyone! Today was good all around...exercise in 40 mins run/walking it was awesome today! Had a b-day to go to for the kids and I didn't eat too too crazy which was really really good...I had the will power!

I seemed to hurt my foot today! Odd since I was talking about it yesterday and here I go hurting my right foot...Geez I think I've been stretching the muscles and tendons by running and all the scar tissue is starting to loosen up from the extra pressure of the running...which is good because I should have been doing exercises for my foot a long time ago like when I was going to physio! Now it looks like my 2 feet have the same degree of flexion now..which is so awesome because it wasn't like that before I started this running 2 weeks ago!

So what I noticed is that there are 60 of us challengers! WOW!

I will have to get back on the 2 things about 2 people!

But for me I am 26, going into my 4th & final year of BN nursing...I have two beautiful children..my boy 7 and my girl 4..and I am currently in a long term relationship..3 years in october and I'm WAITING FOR A RING!!!! LOL!

pokes tongue at defntlysmart-
muahahahaha - I CAUGHT UP!!
now if i was any good at names i would remember who i wanted to reply to .. but hopefully ya kno who ya are

Glad your daughter is home safe and sound .. and i hope it all settles down quick for you.. am sorry ya have had to go through that .. :hugs:

pink!- have a great trip .. gl catchin up on 3 days when you get back! i had hard enough time with 1 day!
JennyDee- take care of that foot! ya doin so great .. hate for ya to have an injury set back

willmakeit- i have found those no-sugar-added apple pie's at the store and prefer them to the ones that are sweetened and stuff..which is great..since i am a sugar hound!
ok .. will try to keep up tomorrow!

Well another 3.8 lbs bites the dust!!!

Just wanted to check in say hello! I don't weigh again until 8/25, but I see some differences. My mid section is getting smaller and, thanks to Pilates, I'm toning and getting stronger.

I started this last week at 209ish and this morning I weighed in at 204.6 eek

WOAH! No wonder we cant keep track! LOL. I gotta have something to talk about because my weight hasn't gone down at all. I just finished TOM. School/Work starts next week so I'm gonna have to think of a game plan.
