Hi everyone,
Logged in 7 miles. It is cooler here now so it was so much easier walking. Hope that makes me successful tomorrow at weigh in. Guess there are 3 of us now that weighs in on Thursday. Nona, Debbie & I. Good Luck to you girls tomorrow! Glad you are feeling better ROSE Hang in there everyone. We don't want anyone to be a WEAK LINK Interesting article in Weight Watcher magazine this month on walking. I really like the magazine....so interesting. Later all....

Hi All!

Nona & Judy good luck at your weigh ins tomorow. I have my fingers, toes & everything else crossed that I will see a loss tomorrow. I hope so. I have been trying to be good with my points (alternating from low to high to mid). I have been trying to do my tape since I got my VCR. Today I skipped it because I have a bad headache thanks to the squealing & screaming the little ones have done this afternoon & evening..UGH! I'll check in again tomorrow morning to let you all know how I did.

Nascar hope you feel better. Post when you can. We will still be here waiting for you

Hope everyone has a good night..

See ya!
Debbie

Good Morning

I weighed in and lost 1.5 lbs. Woohoo! I think I may have finally broken this plateau. This is the first big loss I have had since before January 2001. I feel really good today. Now to try to run with this new motivation and have a repeat next week. I noticed I didn't snack as much this week & kept to what I had planned in my journal. I didn't do the tape last night but I did manage to squeak in 3miles so that was good

Nona, Judy how did your weigh ins go???

Nascar & Rose, hope you are both feeling better.

Hope you all have a good day!!

Talk to you later

[JudyK]

~Debbie~ A big congrats for the weight loss....mine did not go so good +.4... I knew some of that fat would be hiding trying to get back on Will just have to hope for better next week....At least I do feel like I am making progress too! Down 7 lbs. since January, so I will just keep on....Wasn't real faithful with my journal this week and those darn jelly beans may be the culprit (I bought my hubby jelly beans for Easter) At least it wasn't chocolate. It is a beautiful day so I walked to my meeting. It is 6 miles round trip, so that was good.
Have a great day!

[deb2593]

Judy I'm sure you will lose that 0.4 lb plus some next week. I know what you mean about the candy. I was really good about trying not to eat too much of it this week. On Tuesday I did have a bag of M&M's but I was at my low range so I still was able to do good that day. I hid the rest out of sight

Wow, 6miles that is fabulous!!! Good for you!!!

Have a good one everyone!

[nms here]

I did it. I lost 1.6lbs. I am sooo happy! I stuck to my new journal and feel real good about this. I hope I can do it again... I had my WW Leader actually write my loss/weight in both my new journal and weekly "weigh-in" recorder. Getting closer to my goal - AGAIN! ha!

Debbie ~ Many congrat's on your loss - WOO-HOO! I hope this is the end of your plateaus.

Judy ~ Sorry to hear about that small gain, but Debs right. I'm sure you'll lose it next week - especially w/all that walking!! 7lbs down since January is GREAT! Keep up the great work. I had lots of jelly beans on Monday... sent the rest of the bag to work w/my DH! lol!

Rose, Nascar ~ Where are you 2 today? Hope all is well and you will be checking in w/us soon....

[deb2593]

Nona, Congrats on your 1.6 lb loss...that is GREAT!!!! woohooo!! Do you use the new 12wk journal? I picked up 2 this past Saturday (one for me & one for DH) & I love it..It's so easy to look back on previous days and so convenient.

Thanks, I hope the plateau is history for me now I am on a mission now I want to lose these last 12.5 lbs so that I can hopefully get into a tankini this summer The past 2 summers I have steered clear of bathing suits. This summer is going to be different!!

Hope you are all having a great day

[NASCAR Woman]

I'm here! I think I'm the "Weakest Link" these days ! Although, if laughing at that show burns calories, I burned a ton last night. My foot is getting progressively worse, which you can imagine isn't helping my work out.

Wow! That call I was waiting for just came while I was typing this. My stress level is now completely through the roof.

Rose ~ find a way to get in touch with me!

Girls ~ great losses. Way to go. Hopefully someday I'll be able to get back on WW and join you all in the loss department.

Judy ~ it's muscle. Don't worry about it. You are doing so well exercising I'm positive it is muscle. Don't get discourage, just keep up the good work.

Okay ~ I'm lurking around today. Keep me in your thoughts, I really need some mega positive vibes. Sorry to be criptic, but it's necessary at this time.

Hi Everyone!

I'm learning my new job today so I haven't had time to post until now. I'm back at my old desk so here I am for a short post.

NASCAR Woman-Which email should I use? I'm not sure. I responded to your regular one because the last message you sent to me was from that one. Let me know!

Debbie-I wish I only had 12.5 pounds to go! Great job. I'm sure you'll look great in your swimsuit this year. That's one of my goals to actually be able to wear a swimsuit again without a massive cover up !

Nona-Great job on the weight loss! You should be proud. Hey were are you buying your journels? Are they from WW? I think that's a great way to help stay on track. Keep it up you're doing great!

Judy-I'm with the rest that I'm sure it's muscle! You are doing so great. Seven pounds since January is awesome! You should give yourself more credit. I need to get back to doing some exercise. I've just been so busy/lazy lately. Hopefully tonight I'll get on my Orbitrek.

I have to get to work. I'm sorry I missed some of you. I will try to post some tonight. Thanks for being here and being so supportive!

[JudyK]

Good for you Nona...I hope that plateau is over for you now...keep up the good work! Maybe it will make us all work harder since we weigh in on the same day
Thanks everyone for the inspiration and words of encouragement...You are all great....Good Luck Nascar...hope things turn around for you soon...Time for bed so I can get to the gym tomorrow It is funny how all my plans are around my exercise program now Hopefully it will pay off...Night all....

[ras8779]

Good Morning everyone!

Well I didn't get on the Orbitrek like I planned. In fact I didn't make it home until 7:30 last night with working OT at work and then my son's track meet. By the time I got the place organized and did dishes it was time for bed! I guess I need to set that alarm a little earlier in the morning but I doubt if I can get up much earlier then 5 so I'm doubtful that I will be getting up at 4:30 to exercise. Oh well there is always tonight!

Judy-You are doing a great job. I agree that this place is full of inspiration and really keeps me going. I depend on all of your posts to keep me on track and help me stay motivated. Thanks for being here!

NASCAR Woman-I tried emailing you last night while I was at work but you must have gotten out early. I hope you had a stress free evening! Something tells me you didn't! Post when you can.

Nona-You are doing a super job! I'm a little envious but maybe that's what I need to get off this big butt of mine! Keep up the great exercise.

Debbie-You are doing so great losing that weight! It's always nice to see those numbers on the scale go down! Great job and thanks for the motivation!

Where are all the rest of you? We haven't seen any posts from you for a while now? Pogo, emmy, wwgal and phillym, please post when you can we want to know how you're doing! wwgal I posted another response to your power 90 question. I hope you'll still post here too!

Okay off to work. I've got a ton of it. Have a great Friday everyone and a nice long weekend.

[JudyK]

I know you are all out exercising so you can't get on the computer I did water aerobics this morn and took a long walk on the beach. We have water aerobics at our pool everyday but my schedule with the gym just doesn't work out so I can do them all the time, although I really enjoy them and you don't have to sweat Beachwalking was really hard today...the sand was too soft and I felt like I was walking through high snow glad I don't have to do that...Hope you all are enjoying the weekend...Have a good one....

[JudyK]

I'm so lonely out here......Guess everyone is busy over the weekend....I feel so good...walked 7 miles today...It was such a beautiful day...Went to a concert tonight to see Montgomery Gentry...It was great....Hope to hear from you all tomorrow
