Just checking in to see how everyone's day is going. It is a little colder here which means no chance of walking but thats ok and the rain is coming At least it isn't snow that so many are getting out west this week.
I found fresh peeled/cored pinepple on sale at the grocery last night for 1.99 and it is so good! It satisfied my craving for something sweet last night night and now I am snacking on it at work.
Sarah, your new photo is beautiful! It has inspired me to do something I have never thought about doing here before. When I get to my goal weight and start doing weight training again, I am going to put a photo of me in a bikini on here come spring or summer. I am going to pull a Kirstie Alley! You guys hold me to that too in case I forget
Mary, I am so looking forward to Phase 2 but I think I will detox through the weekend until Sunday when I have Xmas Eve dinner w/ my family. That is just 2 extra days and maybe it will help me make up for the damage I might do on Xmas Day! Congrats on feeling so much better. I am feeling great too!
Jacquie are are kicking butt! A pound a day is great!
Linda, Ladean and Sherry and everyone else out there lurking - I hope you are having a great day today.
No Jazzercise for me tonight, I am looking forward to a relaxing evening instead.

Sounds like some serious motivation I'll join you in that adventure..accountability How's May 1st?
Sarah~ I agree with everyone else. YOU LOOK AWESOME!! Keep it up!
Crackers~ I went through the same thing. I was eating off plan and didn't feel like posting all of my failures. But.. once I got back to posting...I started eating better. Glad you are back with us!
Lem~ I was hoping for warmer weather today, too. No such luck. I miss getting out and walking. Guess I will have to get used to winter. lol. I can't wait to see you in a bikini!! That is so awesome!
Jacquie~ 6 lbs in 6 days is great! I am planning on eating a little bit of everything on Christmas. We are having our meal at home... so we can control what we are eating.
Mary~ I have been having a good day with Joshua.. Thanks!
Linda~ I will have to check that BL dvd out. Thanks for the recommedation!
Ladean~ Glad you are doing so good! Fat Smash is the greatest.
I just wanted to pop in real quit before starting dinner...I'm having brown rice with egg white scrambled and added to the rice with red,green,yellow bell peppers and onions, I cook my rice in fat free low sodium chicken broth, and add a little low sodium soy sauce, YUM YUM LOL. It's so great coming here and reading all the posts, you guys really motivate me and help keep me going. I was feeling a little hungry and almost hit the can of mixed nuts, but decided to come here and post first, so by the time I'm done it will be time to start cooking LOL, hey whatever works.
Hope y'all have a great night, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey Mary - Congrats on your loss! May 1st deadline for the bikini sounds great! Lets keep each other motivated! Once I get back to weight training for a few weeks I am ok but the first 2 weeks are so hard for me because I am so sore and not used to going.
Did anyone see the show last night (I think it was Primetime or one of those news shows) about the 2 groups who were put against each other to lose weight? Neither group received diet advice, just work together as a team and one group received only positive reinforcement. They weighed in twice a week and had 2 months to lose 15 lbs each. The other group were under what is called credible threat. They worked for a minor league ball team and they had to either put on speedos or bikinis and have their picture taken at their current weight. If they didn't lose the 15 lbs, their photos would go up on the jumbotron screen during a baseball game. The experiment was to see if positive reinforcement or negative worked best. The positive team lost more weight, but just slightly. It was pretty cool to see how it worked.
I weigh in tomorrow morning - I am still hoping for 145. I have been visualizing that number all week and I think it will happen I was hoping to be in the 130s by New Years but that isn't going to happen. My 2 week detour being out of town in San Francisco slowed me down.
Can we get anymore takers on the bikini? Or at least workout wear or a one piece? C'mon ladies....I think this is great motivation. If you don't want to show your face, you can crop your head out, its your body we want

Good morning buddie, way to go on sticking to detox, we all know it's not easy, especially this time of year, your doing GREAT!....I did 2 days of phase 2 and lost that extra pound, so it's phase 4 for me starting today. My son got the job and starts on the 5th, so he's excited...I have cookies to bake today, so I have to be extra strong....I plan to get the BL DVD right after Christmas if I don't get it from DH, I love the first one, so if you say the second one is better, it's a must have for me LOL....Well, off to start my cookies...Have a great day buddie

you. Remember be commited and do the work and you will have
what you want. Remember dont give up!! the journey is so worth
the effort!!
Good morning everyone.
I am coming down with a cold. I feel awful...headache, sore throat, stuffed up. Maybe its the cold, but my wisdom teeth are coming through on the bottom and my gums are killing me. I am having trouble eating and it is throwing me off. I am used to crunchy vegetables and soups are just not filling me up. The only thing that helps is gargling salt water. I did a short workout yesterday but my head was pounding. I think I am going to take it easy for a couple of days and just rest.
Linda- Good for you! You have lost weight and in the right places for that skirt to fit!
Hi Sherry, Ladean, Lem, Mary, Jacquie, anyone else I can't think of at the moment!
Thanks for the many wonderful compliments! It has been a longtime since I have felt confident about the way I look or anyone has called me slender!(I cried happy tears.) I have been pregnant 4 times in the last 5 years and just kept gaining more and more with each one.
I will join you all for the bikini challenge for May. I plan to wear a bikini next weekend on vacation but I don't think I look good enough in it to show it off LOL.
TGIF!!!
Sarah
At least it isn't snow that so many are getting out west this week.
starting again
How's May 1st?
I really want to slim down and tone up! It's great to have a buddie with the same goal. 
I'll have to check in to weight training a little later. Man,I'm so excited!!!! Thanks.
