michelle great job staying on plan
molly as far as not eating at 9:30 when you come home i have the late night cut off nothing after 9 so i dont go to bed with a full stomach you could try coming in and changing clothes for bed and brush your teeth right away nothing ever taste good after you brushed your teeth? just a thought

marcie you ahve done a great job i hope the scale moves for you so that you have a good weigh in tomorrow but, i know you wont be discouraged since your weighing in on a different day. big hugs to my girls we can do this

Just checking in....HI !!!

Everyone looks to be doing well this Wednesday "hump day". I have to run to do some errands but all is well. I am OP for today and yesterday. And er...the fibre problem seems to have corrected itself!! Did anyone watch the Biggest Loser last night? Talk about pumping you up!!! I went to the gym this morning and did my workout and an extra 45 minutes of cardio on the treadmill. I do not want to let any backsliding start and then come Jan...think what? where did this weight come from?..... I am renewed with committment!! WOOHOOOO

angel -eyes that is great you are doing great way to go on teh workout iw anted to watch biggest loser last night but, missed it

Angel eyes yes I did see it. WOW what a motivator. I also went to the gym today had an awesome workout. I actually ran about 2 laps, havenot done that in years. I am doing soooo well today that i hope I continue on this path. I am sososso sick of being heavy. I am actually sick of myself so I guess that is good. It will take time but we can all battle this with huge success. I have to weigh in on Friday and I need to be down to my starting weight before 2weekends ago. I think it is about 3pds . I have to do this. Just to keep the motivation. I should have tape the biggest looser. Anyway off to refill the water jug. Good luck everyone.

OMG y'all the transformation those people made was just amazing. Angel-eyes you are so right...I was so pumped up last night I wanted to go work out again...man they look soo good!! Suzie was my fav and she looked fabulous. Also...a little side note...if you go to the NBC.com website they have amazing before and after pics of just normal people and I swear the majority of them did it on WW. They reference that under their pics. If anyone gets a chance, you should take a look! YEA for WW!!

Angel-eyes: I saw on the Biggest Loser thread that you are doing some of Jillian's plan..how is that working for you? I've been thinking about getting the book.

Hey Ladies!
How is your Wednesday going? I goofed up today. One of my roommates has a plate of Christmas cookies out in the kitchen, and I couldn't help but eat one. Now, that wouldn't be so bad...but I ate three more! I'm owning up to it, though, and put it in my journal. I'll have to go to bed early tonight, since I don't have any more points left! I'm so bad when it comes to temptation! Luckily, my aerobics class made me feel not quite as guilty about it.
Weigh in for me is Monday, so we'll see then how I do!
Take care, girls!
Molly

Hey all today was a good day food wise for me. It was a rest day for exercise. Tomorrow and Friday I don't have to work, so I get some alone time. I plan to get in some extra workout time tomorrow.

molly,
hope you have a good weigh in monday good for you owning up to and tracking the cookies in your food journal. today is a new day girl you can do it. just think of those cookies as the most disgusting thing you have ever ate that may help you.

michelle congrats staying on plan have a great time getting in your workouts

yesterday was another 1 hour workout for me i love the leslie sansone videos i know i say that alot but, they are just great

i went and looked at the nbc site for biggest loser omg i cant believe how much they have changed i have missed the last 2 episodes they all look so great. its amazing what we can do with good eating and exercise.

Yes it is amazing....very inspiring...ok I ate fast food for 2 meals yesterday..now I stayed within my pts but was up 1.5 lbs this morning on the scale..OMG..I was going to go WI today but I found another meeting I can go to tomorrow..I am hoping this is just sodium...youch!! At least this way I will only be weighing in 1 day early. Don't think I will see a loss though..that stinks b/c I have stayed within pts this week...must not have gotten in enough veggies and fruits...at least I know what I did wrong and can correct it.

Just checking in this morning as I enjoy my coffee. I hope everyone has a great op day! I've got to go get the kids up for school now.

I weighed in and I'm one pound closer to my goal!

Morning girls....

Stagemom.....way to go!! another pound bites the dust!!! lol

Libbysmom..... I love Jillians workouts. I have been doing them for almost 5 weeks now. I have increased my weights from starting at 5lbs and a few 8 lbs....to now 12 lbs and 15 lbs!!!! Now keep in mind that I still have a journey yet to go, but on some of the arm movements....I can see some muscle ripples!!! I feel so much better with a concrete plan to follow. Page by page, its very straight forward and makes alot of sense. I would reccommend the book. Hey? why not put it on your Santa wish list!!!

I think you may be right about the levels of sodium but ALSO SUGAR!!! Somewhere I remember reading that everything at McDonalds has high levels of sugar. Thats what makes most of their foods addictive. You feel that 'ahhhh' satiation and then 2 hrs later....feel the edgey crash. Flush it out GF....drink lots and lots of water!!!!

I had a great day yesterday and then today,hit the gym right after ds's bus. With the new heart rate monitor I even ran today for the first time for almost 25 minutes. Sure surprized the heck out of me!!! I always cover up the minutes readout on the treadmill with a magazine, and since I was focused on the readout of the new treadmill "cardio" program...forgot all about what I was really doing and for how long!!! **great tip btw** I had my tunes on and that was it. I burned almost 700 calories in 45 minutes.....WOOHOOOOO
