Have a terrific day!

Hello, all! I'm celebrating my entry into the 120's this morning. One pound until my original goal and 11 pounds to my final goal! Woohoo!

Amylew, congratulations!!!!! What a great accomplishment!

Good morning everyone. I think I'm getting a cold, and I'm not too happy about it because I am going to a concert with my sisters next week and I have all my appointments for my wedding! I'm going to add lemon to my water for the next couple of days and hope that helps. Hope everyone is having a good week so far!!

Although the last 5 days have been tough for me personally, this morning I woke up and am in the best mood! I would love to share the joy! It's so nice to be happy again! Hope everyone has a great day!

Great job! I happy for you! Keep up the great work!

Just stoping by to wish everyone a great day!!

Very inspirational! Kudos to you!

Good morning everyone.

Like other posts, I woke up feeling "fat" today. I go for WI # 6 this afternoon, but I'm not feeling very hopeful. I guess as long as I haven't gained, then that's a positive. I'll let everyone know tomorrow.

I love the inspiration I get from reading everybodies posts, achievements and words of encouragement. THANK YOU!!!!!

Ok I feel better today....My husband came home from his trip and he was so funny...he kept telling me wow this is strange..as he was hugging me..he said it didn't feel right..I was the shrinking woman...i laughed so hard...he said come hee and let me hug you again...strange very strange...
Its amazing what a hug will do for you...
We can do this...!!!!!!!I weigh in tomorrow...

Ahhhhh, that's awesome!!!

Morning Everyone. The weather has changed and we are expecting snow over the next few days....brrrrr! Lose a few lbs and you really start to feel the chill!
Today is WI #5 for me. My coach isn't open in the mornings so WI's always happen in the afternoon. Not expecting much but will see how it goes. Want to keep seeing the scale keep going down for me as well as the Christmas Challenge!
I am finding things a bit slow right now and really missing fresh fruit and a glass of wine now and again. Otherwise this is a very easy plan to follow and I am certainly not hungry or snacky.

Argh....so I teach at a small country school 30 miles from the head offices. I have a reading class tonight at 3:00 so I have to travel in for that. I knew this already. I was ok with driving once. BUT....I got an email a few minutes ago that I was chosen to do the drug testing (that takes 5 mins) at 10:40 this morning!!!! I called and asked if I could go at 2:30 but their last appts. are at 1:05. UGH! I have to drive 60 extra miles today. BS!!!!! UGH!

Sorry. Totally unrelated to IP.....but it just torks me when they don't take into consideration the outlying schools and the inconvenience of it all.

39 days until

My inspiration for today: Don't permit others to define who you are. You cannot be a failure without your own consent!!

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Amylew...way to go!!!

I agree!! Every day is a new day AND the FIRST DAY of the rest of our lives!!! That is why "one day at a time" works so great!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those hugs
