Hi all,

Well tonight is weigh in for me because of halloween tomorrow night. I will let you all know what happens.

I have to teach at school today. They have their halloween party today also. The teacher wanted to get away from candy so we are bringing in good foods to eat for snack and it will carry over to lunch for those that stay. They are having a bon fire (weather permitting) then when it dies down the ones that stay for the afternoon will roast hotdogs over the fire for lunch. Plus eat from the good snack foods everyone brought in. We are bringing crackers and cheese. Plus they will be bobbing for apples as well.

So it will be a full day today at school. The out to trick or treat tomorrow after gymnastics class.

You all have a great day. I just checked out the oct. weigh ins and we have some great losses. Wendy, angelwine, and nancy and the rest of you awesome job on all those losses girls.

We are all doing great here. We are a great group of people.

Hi Ladies
Weigh in was last night. I lost 1 lb. YEAH!!!!!! Hubby gained 3/4. Our contest is over. My team didnt win. Hubby's did. They want to start another contest. I asked if my name could be withdrawn. But the lady said she didnt think so. Needed me to make the teams even. I really dont want to do this contest. Seems everytime we do I do bad with them. I have a gain. So we will see what happens. Not sure if I will get to go next week or not. They had to change the meeting to Monday night. That is pratice night at church for hubby. Maybe I will at least try and go and weigh in. We have our TOPS meeting at a school. Next Tues is election day and they use the schools to vote in. So we have to change our meeting night.

Good job on the losses this week ladies. I know that not everyone has weighed in yet. But I am sure everyone is going to have a good loss. Hope everyone has a great day. It is rainy, foggy and cold here. Suppose to get even colder this weekend. May even have good chance of Snow flurries. YUCK!!!!!!!!. Good weekend to stay in and drink hot cocoa and read. Or do some cross stitching. Working on pillow cases now. Keep warm!!
A TOPS PAL

Well we have one more week left of this contest. I lost 4 pounds this week. I've been really working hard on this thing, and changing my attitude. This is all a mind set. I know I say this now, cuz i'm doing good, but think about it. We all know what it takes. We all know how to do it. We just have to make positive changes, and then the weight will come off. Total weight i've loss so far with this thing at work (-7.5). The first time i didn't like it and was using excuses. But i've changed my mind set. After next week weigh in, we are going for a 10 week. $1 a week. Not sure if it's winner take all, or if we are going to have a 1 & 2nd. place. Bell gained today. So did another girl, and one stayed the same. come on ladies we can change our attitude, and our thoughts, and make this thing happen.
Sherri that sounds fun. You can do this. remember mind set
coco. hang in there. work on changing your attitude for the contests. Is there anyone that gets under your skin, and you want to beat the pants off of them, or maybe start thinkng more positive thoughts
You can do this

Coco,

That is great that you had a loss this week. Bet it made you feel good that you lost and hubby didn't.LOL
As far as the contest goes if you really don't want to do it then put your foot down and say no. They can't make you do a contest. So they will have to change the way they are doing the contest so that they don't need you. If doing the contest is going to make you gain then I would hold my ground and say no.
You are doing great. How are the pillowcases going?

Wendy,

Great job on the losses so far. It looks like you are going to be the big winner of this contest. You were right when you said you were going to beat the pants off bell girl. See you got back to the right frame of mind and started thinking about you again and not the weight and look what happened you lost again this week. Keep going girl. You are on a roll.

I weighed in today also. I lost 2 1/2 lbs tonight. I was very happy. But I didn't have any feeling about the weigh in I just went which is a big change for me. Usually I don't do all sorts of things because of weigh in and I didn't let that fact throw me off the path I am on right now. I feel great the best I have felt in years. I know I am on the right path and I don't want to stray from it. So now that I have told you all about my great loss I will not think about the numbers or the scale anymore this week. If I do then I will end up gaining like I did before. My way of thinking the new way is working well for me. I will keep it up.

Sherri

Congratulations Wendy, Coco, and Sherri on the good losses. You're all doing great!
