Maezy, sending you love and prayers for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery!! keep smiling my friend we are all here for you!!!

My second week is going well - still two days till WI

Good luck Maezy!! And speedy recovery

It's WI Wednesday for me, I'm down 1.8lbs and half an inch! It's crazy because usually when I've had a couple of really good weeks I hit a slowdown week. But hey, that's close enough to 2lbs that I'll call it a great loss trend instead!

I started doing some *very* light yoga on my Wii Fit this week - not even enough to get my heart rate up but enough that I feel my muscles working. I had set up a 20 minute routine a while back, I'm going to see how that goes over the next week or so, and may increase it to a 100 calorie light exercise session (which should be about 30 minutes) if all goes well. I am really looking forward to getting back into more intense exercise in maintenance! Who'd have thought that I'd be saying that - six months ago I'd complain if I had to park too far from the door when I'd go shopping!

Wk 1 weigh-in yesterday...down 8.8 lbs! Already feeling so much more energized! I weigh-in on Tuesdays but next Tuesday is Christmas and the following is New Years so it will be 3 weeks before I weigh-in again. They gave me the option for another day, but I wanted to wait so I can see another BIG number! LOL!

Good Job there ShanCo. I'm doing a self-WI this Friday because my Coach is out of town but get to see her on the 28th for the "Official" WI. Like you, I want to see that BIG number.....good luck over the Holidays!!

Nice job! What a great way to go into the holidays!!!
