Hello, rosie, andreaphilip3 and all. I'm Luckymom1. I have kept up with your chatter and want to wish you all well. Your goals and challenges seem great it is just that I can't seem to be that ambitious. You know my foot and all. I want to weigh 200 by January. I don't know if I can do it. It has been a long time since I saw that. Wish me luck.

Hey Ladies! Sorry I have been MIA for the past week, work has been shipping me off places. The good news is that with all the meals I still lost 2 lbs so I was happy about that. It sounds as if everyone is going through a lot right now and those are the hardest times to diet but just remember that you are doing this to make you happy! I will check back later. Good Luck everyone!-JJ

hi jj!!! wtg! yea i think im plateuing n hoping that today will break it.

I am with you on the plateau andreaphilip3- I have only lost 1/2 a pound since starting this challenge and working harder and eating better than I ever have...we will make it though....just keep pushing forward

For some reason, this site keeps kicking me out when I try to go advanced posting - so I'll just say hello and keep going ladies. I had a really cool response to all of you but it got dumped

Christian - wowsers!!! What a great loss so far!!! Andrea - stay off the scale for a couple of days, it's depressing you sweetie

Lil JJ - great job especially since you've been traveling

and LuckyMom - WELCOME!!! New people are great - let us know how you are doing

Everyone else - check in!

Lynn and Nibs - Check in

Checking in! Glad to see you back JJ and congrats on your weight loss while away. Awesome! Hang in there Andrea and Christie. The closer you get to your goal the more stubborn those pounds can be! Hang in there! Welcome LuckyMom!

I'm still pluggin' away here. I weighed in yesterday and am down two more pounds. I'm very happy with how this is going so far. Having a bit more trouble getting my water in since it's cooler here now. I even made it through the fair last night and stayed op...whew!

Have a Happy Wednesday!

I'm here Rose. Been busy that's all. I worked 12 hour shifts the past two days and today I was trying to get myself back OP. I am staying within my points and getting some water in. I will drink more throughout the day. I have already walked for an hour today and I am going to get on the elliptical now in a little while. I'm BACK!!!!!

Glad to see that everyone is doing somewhat good. If not hang in there, it'll all work itself out.

Kim

hi guys!
hi lynn! hey christian-thanks

kim ya gonna burn out workin so much.
hi rosie!

WI was today - I lost 1/4 pd - but drumroll - I made September goal!!! and we still have 10 more days!!!! Gives me some time for the other short term goals. I know I'll level off. It always happens. Let's hope next week is a Kick butt week.

Great Job Rose!!

I'm fighting a nasty cold here. Boy, did it affect my bike this morning. It was so hard and I felt so slow...but, I got it done!

Keep pluggin' away ladies!

You got it chicks. Keep going. Don't give up. I'm not.

Okay - this week I incorporate some exercise into the program. I'm going to try to goal for 3 brisk walks this week and go up from there - I work 2 desk jobs so getting back into walks are going to be a huge plus for me! Now if it would just stop raining . . .

YoOu go girl. I have a desk (cubical) as well and used to walk until got prob. with legs. Once I get over though I am going in rain or shine to increase the amount of walking.

hi guys!
whats up kim?
rosie you can do it!!

Hey Guys! I did something awful last night.....I gave in to pizza!!!! I am SOOOOOOO angry but I know that I am just going to have to work it off. I didn't weigh myself this morning, and I don't plan to until Monday so maybe I don't have to see the effect it had on me.
Lynn- fantastic job on the weight loss...hope you get over that cold
Andreaphillip- plateauing is tough... focus on your water and sodium intake, that is what usually helps me
Rose Garden- Good Luck on your exercise. I am going to set a goal with you of getting into the gym 4 times this week. We can do it!
LuckyMom- I forgot to say i hope you find a lot of support here!
Nibs- Way to work girl! Its always the hardest to stay on plan when we are the busiest bc its a lot more convenient to eat bad food but work through it and stay positive!
Good Luck everyone- JJ
