Well done everyone!

Yet another big weight loss week- I'm so proud of each of you.
You are all AMAZING women!!

Keep up the awesome job & keep reaching for & ACHIEVING those goals.

Let's go Red!

Way to go red team...we're unstoppable!!

Sorry I missed the deadline...internet was out at my house, and my dog ate my phone charger, so I couldn't even use my phone. Lol. But I guess that gives me a little more time to get back on track! Congrats to all our losers this week. Red team is really kicking butt!!

Oh dumb me just realized you guys post chats! Lol yay for honorable mention! I finally seen 220's this week! But gained back with traveling over the weekend! So hopefully next weeks weights will show the 220's!

woohoo red team!! way to go on another good week!! hard to believe its week 9 already!! hope everyone stays focused and on track!! lets win another week!!!

Great job everyone! I ate a few things this past weekend that I haven't had in months and it didn't seem to hurt. Probably all the walking in shipshewana.

Woohoo, rwquilts!

Nice job hahnj and rosa, too!

Let's keep this train rolling, red team!

OMg, this week is screaming by at an unstoppable pace. Make it stop!
Just crawling into bed after helping daughter with her math.

Hahnj- welcome! Gess I'm the bad leader, for not sending more PM's to get people to participate. To many irons in the fire, my apologies.

Got my workout in today. Walked the kids to school, then went back home & headed into work. Walked the stairs at work twice, walked the dog when we got home from work and then walked my daughter to dance, then came home, then went back to pick her up. we're talking 19,000 steps! We got about 6" of snow overnight and you forget how hard it is to trudge though it. Hoe I can move tomorrow.
Okay off to bed, I'll try to do personals tomorrow, night all!

mel.....snow!! oooh dear...i just had a picnic at the beach with my toes in the sand!!! i could so not wrap my head around snow in october!! haha
brrrr!!
double kudos to you for all that walking AND IN SNOW!!

Well yesterday seemed like the day would never end, due to workload & activities. Not sure today is much better- but it's Thursday already?! Yikes.
Snow is still here, I'm not amused.
Note to self: must find new location to live with milder winters!lol

With Halloween right around the corner , I'm going to play the devils advocate, what is your favorite Halloween candy?
I love candy corn, but it's difficult to find here, or maybe I don't look hard enough? Which is likely a good thing. I also like tootsie rolls.

Hope everyone has been having a good week. Make positive choices!

hope everyone is having a great week!!!

Victoria has very mild winters (thankfully), but you need to loooove rain

My fave Halloween candy is tootsie rolls as well. My daughter doesn't like them, so I am hoping she gets a couple that I can have

We had a family portrait session done at the ocean on Sunday and we got a few of the proofs today and they are BEAUTIFUL! Probably the best photo of my the 3 of us and my partner and I ever! I can't wait to see the rest.

I have also made an appointment to try on wedding dresses in Vancouver on November 17th. They have a bridal salon there with all plus sized samples (one of the only places in Canada like that) and I am soooo excited!

Here's to another great week!

Wow, it's Thursday already!

Mel, I am totally a chocolate girl. And a peanut butter girl. So Reese's peanut butter cups and peanut butter pumpkins are by far my favorite. I get few (if any) trick or treaters, and I'm debating whether or not to even buy any Halloween candy this year.

Well I think the universe rewarded me for sticking with my friend at the 5k race on Saturday. When I ran on Tuesday, I was almost 2 minutes faster than last week! But no exercise yesterday - I had a Medifast meeting right after work, and didn't get home til after 10pm. By the time I made today's lunch it was almost 11, so I just went to bed. Oh well.

Tomorrow is kick-a** hot yoga class. I haven't had a Friday off in 4 weeks, and I can't wait to take this class again.

way to go on that 2 mins faster time 5K!!
