I just received a post from Labor Day Challengers.....
Instead of joining our group they want to challenge our group.... Pound for pound...every week and then a total on New Years Day! They would like to start on November 1st and work threw the rest of the year. What do you all think? I think it would be fun, encouraging and motivating! And I think we could give them a "run for their money" so to speak. I mean afterall we rock don't we? I think we are all pumped enough to take on this challenge.
**************************************************

Our origional posthought I would remind you all of my origional post:

Okay ladies..... Before you grumble that it's not even fall yet.... let me stop and remind you that I heard a million times last year (in the month of December) "If I would have only started sooner".... okay.... okay...... so here is your reminder.
Some of us have got 20 pounds to loose, some of us 40, maybe even more.... Lots of us made the commitment that "next year my New Years resolution will be Not to have to lose weight".... So it's time to get your buns in gear and make a commitment.

Anyone game for a good challenge? Threw several Holidays, cold weather, changing schedules???? Only serious loosers or looser wanna-be's need apply!

I would like to find a good group of ladies who will commit to the long haul.... sadly most will drop out!...... No shaggers please!

I promise to motivate, encourage and be accountable.....Wouldn't it be wonderful to wear that sexy Christmas dress? Even if it was just for your husband?

Here's to an excellent week ladies.... lets kick some buns!

Just dropping by ladies to say Hi and CONGRAT'S on having a good week!

Jenn ~ in regard to the lipo questions, the package sounds fabulous......hehe.... it is something to work towards when I'm down to a healthy weight. I realize it's not a solution but it is a helping hand in the areas untouched by weight loss and exercise, I swear I can FLY with these arms.....hehe.

Okay ladies this is it, we have to drop those chips and pick up those feet and beat the labor day ladies!!!! As nice as they all are.... we need to KICK FLAB!!!!

I am determined and ready this week, I have made an exercise schedule so HOPEFULLY I will stick to it this week!!

Burn baby burn!!

Hey, everyone. Sorry I've been MIA. I haven't been feeling well. So far, I'm holding steady which is good considering tom will be here this week. Hopefully, I'll be down this Friday!!! I have to break this plateau.

[cat90]

SB...hope you're feeling better now

Hi Laurie, Glad to have you with us

Well, Work is going well..exercise is NIL i was wondering how long it would be before i quit doing it We're holiday tomorrow so I WILL do some It's blowing a gale tonight..hope the power stays on i'm bushed and its only 9pm I'll be snuggled up in bed by 10 watching TV

[chacha]

Hello everyone

I just wanted to let you know I am doing good this week
I WILL loose this week if it kills me! I will not let you down!!

I have been watching my eating AND going to the gym. Hope everyone else is having a great OP week!!

[cat90]

Angehopeful...i'm sure all of that exercise will have done the trick

Its cold and miserable out and i'm staying in i've no excuse not to have a great work-out day

[Jenn4Jesus]

Hi Ya'll..... you know when it rains it pours and I am not talking about the weather.... It seems as if my new van is having some issues... Joy... Several of them in fact. DH will be spending the day trying to get some things fixed on it while I am at work. The only down side to this is that I have to take his old work truck in the morning and that means I can't have my morning cup of cofe because it bounces so much that it would all splash out. With him owning a tree service you can only imagine what kind of condition his little "baby" is in.... OH MY I should be a sight.... I am laughing as I am typing this because I have this vision of me in my suit and high heels hopping into his big old truck.... breif case in one hand and a towel in the other for fear of all the saw dust flying around in the cab...LOL.... Oh the dilemas of my life....
Atleast I am not having any major issues this week.
Don't know what to think about this eating issue of mine. Monday One of the girls went to the bakery and bought several fresh gormet cookies and brought them into work for breakfast. tuesday another of the girls went to McDonalds and bought everyone pancakes and biscuits for breakfast and then today the Dr. hands me his Credit card and tells me to order out for everyone in the office.... Panera Bread company.... Can anyone say Carbs????
I took a good look at my thighs tonight and I have decided I must do something and very quickly.... It takes so long to get the legs into shape but it takes only a few weeks for them to look all dimply again.... Something just doesn't seem fair about that....

The weather is supposed to take a dive into the 10's and 20's starting tomorrow evening and I am not too thrilled about that. For the last few years my way of dealing with the bad weather was to start a fire, find a good book, turn on some classical music and equip the girls with coloring books and crayons.... drink hot tea..... bask in the warmth of the fire and read.... This year... well.. I am just not sure if the trade off is worth it. Can anyone tell I am having a few issues with going back to work after all this time??? LOL....
I just don't know how women do this juggling thing... Home church, ministry, children and lets not forget the dear hubby's either.... Everyone wants my time and energy and I haven't even found a few moments to paint my nails and get a pedicure. SUGGESTIONS anyone??? With four kids.... baths and homework have to be a priority and then getting ready for the next day...so on and so forth. I have already talked to my boss about cutting back my hours but right now they really need me and my husband says we need the money since we are going into the slow season for tree work. I know that things will eventually settle down around here especially with the winter coming and all but I need a break and I mean now.LOL... Who doesn't right? Okay... ya'll can tell me to quit whining and get on with it!

How is the crew doing this week? I am so glad to see my dear friend Laurie has joined us. She and I have been heavy weight loosers over thie last year, both loosing over 60 pounds and are also determined to do this together... So please make her feel welcome!
I have been keeping an eye on the competition... I hope that some of us loose this week or we are going to be WAY behind! With as many of us that there are then we have no excuse not to take this every week.... when one of us is off then the chances are that one of us is on.... make sense?
I am going to head off to bed now. I am still nursing this darned cold and I have not been able to rest well for the past several weeks.....
My thoughts are with you all every time I eat!

[triceland]

hello everyone,

your friend laurie

[Jenn4Jesus]

Thanks lauri... I am hoping that Hubby will be able to get it fixed tomorrow and that it won't be much of a problem for him....As I really need the transportation...

[cat90]

sorry Jenn but the thought of you climbing in hubby's wood truck in a suit is just too funny it would be the same for me if i had to take hubby's welding truck now that is a piece of *rap right out of the 70's..a "classic" he calls them not the word i would use at all!

I've had a good day today and even managed to 'walk' 2mls at 8pm tonight what's up with that? i also did 3mls yesterday so i've been a good cat

[Christian]
