I'm a night owl and figured I'd start the new thread.

I have been OP for 6 days now and am quite proud of myself. just like i've read from others the scale isnt moving much but i can feel and see the differences. i'm excited about finally looking how i feel again. thats my big motivation

Melissa- I want to participate in the dollar challenge as well as the "presidents challenge" anything to keep me motivated and OP. this site and you guys have really helped me break old habits. i feel so accountable to you all. I want us to win this thing!

Everyone have a lovely Sunday and rest before the dreaded workweek begins again!

Good Morning lovelies!! Thanks a million for getting our new week started! The sun is shining here again today and I plan on being outside taking advantage of it! DH is supposed to mow the lawn for me, (this is a HUGE task as he's still really weak from being in the hospital for so long) we'll see how long it takes for it to happen! LOL!

So I'm gonna go post up our little challenge. If anyone has something they'd like for me to add to the challenge please let me know!

Good morning everyone!! I have had a horrible week and dread my weigh in at WW tomorrow, but I will go -- accept responsibility for my horrible week and get back on track!!

Enjoy your weekend -- then back to the same old in the morning!!

Good morning ladies,

Red team is really rocking. Sorry I didn't add to that this week. I lost so much weight during the past two weeks and was sooo sick that I knew I would have a gain, didn't think it would be so significant, but 3.6lbs. YIKES! It's my first big gain since 12/29/07. so this week my exercise is planned out my meals are planned out, and i'm going to stick to it. My scale was down almost 1lb this morning from yesterday, so I must have done something right yesterday! Have a great day ladies!

Good morning ladies~ Just popping in to say hello this morning. Kev and I have some running around to do, and then it's back home to finish up in the yard. I got all my flowers planted yesterday, and they look so pretty! Kev finished staining our deck and I mowed the front lawn. Today we have some cleaning up in the back yard to do I'm having a lawn service come out tomorrow to give us an est. on care. Our grass needs help...BAD, and Kev just doesn't have the time to jack with it. I hope you all have a lovely Sunday. The sun is shining here again today, but it's much cooler today! Have a fantastic day everyone~

Diva- See I told you all that exercise was paying off! Great job on that workout yesterday....that was a good one

Melissa73- Girl you've done so good ever since last challenge, so don't let this little gain get ya down. I know you'll bounce right back!

Shelby- Tomorrow starts a new week girl...put this one behind ya and move on~

Melissa- Enjoy your sunshine today Can't wait to start our new challenge

Lonnie- Have fun shopping today with your daughter....I don't blame ya for leaving a 2 yr. old at home Been there done that, and it was never fun!LOL!

Okay everyone challenge is posted! My personal plan is to count $ for this week, then starting next week I'm going to do the same thing only I'm going to set a goal of earning 100 points! That should net me a few OP days!! LOL!!

The cool morning is getting away from me so I'll be back later to check on everyone!! Have a wonderful sunday!

Anyone doing the Presidents Fitness Challenge here is the link that gives you all the information you need. It tells you how to do each exercise etc. I'm doing the health related one.

You can either keep your starting results to yourself, or PM them to me and I'll put them in a red team spreadsheet.

Good luck!!

Mel, I'm gonna do the Health-related fitness one too, since I am not an athlete...YET!

Melissa73, don't let that get you down. Dust yourself off and get back on track. The only failure is failing to to do that.

We talked to our neighbor across the gravel road yesterday, and I think they are going in half (with our Stimulus monies) to get an above ground pool for us all to share. We have a bunch of fields and extra land, BIG yards between the both of us so why not? I think it'll be fun. It'll be on the side of them and right in front of us. Here's where it'll be, right (well a ways up) in front of them trees. I can't wait! Sorry this is an older pic with snow, lol!



We had our beautiful sunny day yesterday. Today is cloudy and raining and breezy. I did manage to get some flowers transfer to the ground and bigger pots though. Have fun playing outside today giries!

OMG Diva is that what you get to wake up every morning and look at?!? That is seriously one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen! We live in " the country" in Illinois at least, and I tell ya it looks nothing like that!LOL! I would think that was like waking up next to God every single morning!

RLB- Have a great hike

Cathy- I saw that Oprah, and that burger looked divine! We're having turkey burgers tonight for dinner, but nothing like those. These are Prudue frozen patties

Morning Everyone!

I weighed in yesterday and lost 2.2lbs! I am happy about that! It has been very hot here. I got burned pretty bad on my back Thursday. I smell like a pickle - doing the vinegar trick. It's not working though.

MELISSA/DIVA - I clicked on the President's Link but I didn't see the health challenge. Where should I click??

Hope everyone has a nice OP Sunday!
