Hi Girls

Diana, i think you'll do fine at the party enjoy yourself

Leanne, you'll have your work cut out for you this weekend your Mum will probably help out tho' won't she? my hubby has invited everyone he knows in England to come over this year and to be honest i'm dreading it we have his brother, wife and 2 kids coming in August for definite and while we were there my BIL took it upon himself to ask MY FRIEND!! to come along too did'nt give me the opportunity not that i mind but 5 guests in your house is a lot for 3 weeks spent a fortune this last week buying a double and 3 single beds, pillows and all the bedding cos we only had our bed its all done now so i can relax until they start arriving

Had a good day yesterday and walked for 3mls without the foot giving out i've planned todays meals and even allowed myself 4 low carb beers tonight if i want them the total will be about 1400cals so pretty good.

Leanne, sounds like your busy. Hope you enjoy all the company. Hmmm....maybe it is a girl... wouldn't that be fun. The walks sound great. I was that way too, I wished I would've worked out. This spring weather is wnderful isn't it, I've been out for a couple walks too.

Cathy, I would have never gone out and bought all the beds. You must be nicer than me 5 for 3 weeks sounds like a lot of work but I'm sure it will all be worth it and you will really enjoy it. That' super that your foot held out. Make sure you don't hurt it again.

Well, I didn't drink at the party so I saved myself there but ate a ton of snacks. Oh well, I've been so good this week other than that. I want to go out walking today, I'll just walk a bit extra now (as if that will make up for it )

Diana

Diana, I'm not that nice and i'm pretty off that hubby invited them all without consulting me after all it is me that has got all the extra work laundry, cleaning etc..but i've put my foot down with cooking there is no way that i will cook 3 times a day for 7 people so i'm just going to make tea and coffee and point where they can find everything other than that i expect to be eating out!

I've just walked another 3mls on my treadmill foot still aches a bit but i can put up with that. Sun is shining but a bit windy, will just have a shower and get ready to go to the Mall and spend more money

You put your foot down Cathy (and not your sore one ) Have fun at the mall. OK yesterday was bad for me, had lots of pizza, and an easter egg goign for a long walk once i'm done online.
Diana

Ooops, Diana i was exactly the same i had HALF A 12" HAWAIIAN for my dinner no easter eggs tho' i resisted buying any but i did have half a box of mini Oh Henry's that i bought for hubby i'll be having the other half of the pizza today, hopefully hubby will help me out with it will get back on program tomorrow so i won't worry about it

Cathy, thank goodness there are always new days and some without pizza Yesterday I shared my piece of pizza with my DS, so I had much less. But I did have Doritos that is not good. Thank goodness that the flavour I like is gone now. Well, today is weigh in. I'll probably be up as it is that TOM, I hope it doesn't get me down in spirits. I'll exercise like crazy today to try and make up for my snack yesterday
Have a wonderful day,
Diana

Diana, hubby did'nt help me eat the pizza so i had to eat it all by myself i drank regular beers yesterday too i thought why have low cal ones when i've just eaten half a pizza today i'm back on track and walked 3mls this morning and have eaten OK so far its 2.30 now so i think i'll have a good day without going overboard.

Cathy, you've got a great sense of humour. I do the same thing, "I've eaten bad so I might as well eat worse". Why?
Well, I lost 1.5 this week. Did 3 hours of exercise yesterday. Was super worried that I might gain so I had to work it off. It's so nice out again today so I'll be going for a walk. You're doing so great with your walking

Congrats on the loss Diana boy, 3hrs workout you were determined to lose were'nt you i walked another 3mls this morning and i DID have a good day yesterday and i'm on track for another today bought myself some fresh fish when i was out so i'm having fish and chips for dinner either oven baked chips or McCains

Wow, how do you do your walking? Treadmill, outside, video? Jsut wondering, you are good at that!
How was the fish and chips? Sounds delicious. What kind of fish and how do you prepare it? I love fish
Diana

Hi Diana, it was cod and i just baked it in some aluminum foil with a measly 100g portion of crinkle cut chips (i could'nt be bothered to peel spuds) and some peas and it was delicious there is a piece left in the fridge so i think i'll have that today, did'nt give it to hubby because i did'nt think he'd like it without batter or breadcrumbs.
I walk on my treadmill while watching "the view" or something, makes the time go by faster.

I bike wathcing tv too.
Had bbq steak for supper. Didn't have very much.
Diana

Hello, everyone. I just found this board a couple of days ago. I love it. So many people are fighting the fight and a lot of you are winning! Its' encouraging. I am 30(almost 31 )and I have 2 boys; 10yrs and 2yrs. I have been married for 13 yrs and I am a stay at home mom. Oh and my name is Mary.
I am 157lbs right now. I got up to 200lbs with my last child. I am 5 ft so I think between 110-120 is a reasonable goal.
I have dieted and i have done cardio at the gym and it has worked; I just couldn't stick with it. Till I started weight training. Its addicting! And I don't like to cheat cause I know that muscle will never show if I don't get rid of the fat. I feel like I finally have a goal that I can get excited about. I am doing the Eating for Life plan right now, but WW sounds interesting. Is there any way to find out how to do it without joining?
Anyway, just wanted to see if i could join your little group? Ya'll sound like you keep each other going.

Mary, Welcome here. We would love to have you join our group. And you're right, it's little. There used tobe more action, but as with a lot of threads it's dwindling but some of us are refusing ot give it up I don't know anything about the Eating for Life plan, what's it about? You can definitely find WW stuff for free on the web. Let me tell you a bit about it, you are given a points target for a day and you have to eat them, then you also have 35 flexpoints that you can use throughout hte week, or in one sitting or not at all. Therea re people who find they lose better if they use the flexpoints. There are also activity points and you get extra points for working out. Right now your daily points range would be 22, but once you're under 150, you'll be at 20 per day. The one thing I have noticed with any plan is that you need the daily support. With going ot WW meetings I didn't get enough support, but with this site I get so much support it's great. Well, I actually ahve to run, so I'll tell you more tomorrow morning.
Diana

Hi Diana and Welcome Mary

Mary, if you are considering doing WW you will find lots of recipes right here with the pts given per serving you can also find all the pts values you need at dottisweightloss zone just go to www.dwlz.com she is great i used to go there a lot when i was on WW but i'm counting cals now so i don't visit as much. I would love to get into weightlifting but i just can't seem to take to it i have a weight bench and lots of free weights but i rarely use them its my treadmill that i love.

I had another great day yesterday that make 3 in a row and i'm sure that Gorgeous George (my scale) will be good to me in the morning off for my 3ml walk now
