It's been very quiet on this site so far this month. Where is everyone? I hope doing well...maybe outside enjoying the last days of summer - at least for us in the northern half of the US!

I'm doing well this week; Weigh in tonight, after a 2 week break due to Labor Day. Will check back in tomorrow.

Hi Lyn,
I have been busy with school and then we started the afterschool program last week. So my weight was a little up this past week. But I am working hard to take it off. I will have to miss the weigh in at TOPS tomorrow evening, because I have to stay at work for our Back to School night. So I am hoping to have a great weigh in next week.
Hope you have a great weigh in this evening.
Hi to everyone else. Hope all is going well with everyone.

I traveled for a week (and didn't do so great on food choices), had a week off, and then had a wedding this weekend. I'm not weighing in tonight, but will next week. I need to find whatever it was that I had before I got off track!

I lost a pound! Also reached "Gold Metal" status at our fitness center for August - meaning I worked out more than 15 days there during the month.

Congrats on your pound loss! Keep up the great work Lyn! That is also great about reaching gold status at your gym. Sounds like you are off to a great start for the month of Sept.
Phantastica, I am in the same boat as you. So I bet we will have a great weigh in next week if we keep a good eye on our eating and exercise habits this week.
Have a great day!

hello everyone I'm back. It's been a long summer my secedual has changed I now work part time and take care of my mom the rest of the time. I have just had a bad month or so I can't seem to get back on track. helping my mom is a lot more stressfull then I thought it would be. all the guards are new now and I jsut don't feel right anymore. Everything seems off even my TOPS club. I wiegh this morning or should I say tonight since I'm at work now.

Welcome Jet! Glad you could join us? I hope that you find alots of support and encouragement here just like I do!
GG, sorry to hear that your life is a little stressful right now. I wish I lived closer to you and could help some way. I will just keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this stressful time for you. Things will start to look brighter in the near future. It is very nice of you to look after your mom. We all go off track once in awhile. I am trying to get back on track after being off work all summer long and then going back to work. So I know that it is very difficult. But we are in this together and we will get through it. Hope things are going well for you today.
Hi to Lyn and Phantastica. Hope you are having a great week so far!
Well I need to go and get ready for my students to come in for the morning. So I will check in with you all later. Have a great day!

Hi ladies, Had my weigh in tonight (well thursday night) stayed the same....better than a gain... I really need to get motivated and work harder at this. I love the weigh in nights, because it means a new week to try again. It has been rough lately but I know I can do better. just have to work at it.

gg, I hope things get better for you. It is hard to even think about tops when the rest of your life is sooo stressful...but you need to take care of yourself, that is important. you are important.

Lyn,, good job on the weight loss! keep at it.

Everybody, hope you all have a great week. and thanks for the welcome judy

Hello everyone. I just recently re-joined TOPS and so far lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks. This week I also traveled as well for work and didnt make the best choices....This whole changing the mind set is a slow process, and I am finding the weight doesnt come off as easy as 15 years ago when I belonged. I weigh in tomorrow night..I dont think it will be as good...but as Jet said..it means the start of a new week to get back on track ..thank you all for your continued support on here. Good luck this week.

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to drop in and wish everyone good luck at their weigh-in's this week. I hope we are all big losers this week. I have been working really hard to watch what goes in my mouth the past week. So I hope it shows up on the scales on Tuesday night.
Have a great week ladies!

A quick "Hi" to all...I'm at the last minutes of my lunch break. I walked 50 minutes with walking poles out on the Erie Canal Path and wolfed down my salad. Weigh-in tonite. A friend of mine told me I looked thinner yesterday...that was a real motivator. Good luck everyone.

Lyn

Darn, I gained a little this week. Sometimes it's very discouraging - especially when you think you've done everything right. Well, next week, right?

Lyn

Sorry to hear that you gained a pound Lyn. You will take that right back off and then some. I am sure it was just water retention or muslce gain. I have my weigh in tonight. I hope I am finally moving the numbers down on the scale. I am going to keep my fingers crossed at least!
Have a great day everyone!
Kerry

I gained a pound too Lyn. I don't know how though since I watched what I eat and drank. So I guess I am just going to have to try harder next week.
Hope everyone else has a good weight-in!
Kerry
