morning ladies!
i hope everyone had a good day yesterday.
i weighed today and i've lost 2.5 of the lbs that i gained while on Vacation!! YAY! :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:
i guess it's going to come off easier then i thought.
i'm going to have to really push to motivate myself to exercise today. the kids got up before 6am :dizzy: :dizzy: bleck. i hate before 6am wake ups.
well, i hope you all have a great day!
tracy

Way to go Momtu2!! :bravo: I have to be strict for the next couple of days because I've been cheating a bit and put on a pound.:( I'd like to lose at least a 1 pound plus the pound i gained by Sat. I weigh in on Sat at WW meeting.

Scalewatcher did you notice who is back?! :yay: I think you did great not to gain while company is here. :cp: Company makes me eat more. ;)

Suz, your retirement plans sound so nice.:beach: :moped: We own horses so we have alittle over 3 acres to let them run around on. I decided one day I was going to have a Veg garden and start canning my food. :^: Good grief!! I fenced off an area for me. Did the work and watched the fruit of labor begin to sprout. :carrot: Then one day I woke to find the horses had managed to break the fence down and what plants they didn't eat they stomped! :sumo: I managed to salvage some of my Veggies but decided that I'd let the
"little green giant"(store can food) do all the canning in this family! :rofl:

As far as me and Danni, :hug: No we don't know each other.:dunno: But I know her type. :dizzy: I guess its a good thing we don't live next to each other. :chin: She tries so hard to emulate me. :hyper: I know how much she wants to be like me. :cloud9: But there is only one Kiwi :encore: and it would be so hard for her to always be walking in my shadow.:kickcan: I care to much about her for that.:club: So I will allow her to admire me from afar!:D :devil:

Hello ladies, mind if I jump in here???

I just had a baby about 2 1/2 months ago and within a month lost all of my baby weight! I have since gained back 16 POUNDS!!!

I stepped on the scale the other night and had a true "OH CRAP..THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT!" moment!!!

Brittney!! :lol3: I love it!! Don't you just love those stupid scales!:lol:

Welcome :hug: and I believe you will fit right in with the rest this denial group!:D


I can't believe how the weight slips up on us.:tantrum: I am a scaleaholic now because of it! :goodscale This time if I gain some weight I'm going to know about it before seeing my reflection :yikes: or being in shock at a picture!:rofl:

:) Good morning
It's still snowing and oh so cold!!:(

:flow1: Kiwi, we still have not recovered the stolen vehicle and because the police report is not done, the insurance is in limbo too. The good thing is, we are all ok and no one was injured...:angel:


Suz :dance: have to agree with you in regards to Kiwi and Danni. I get a chuckle everytime i read there posts. Fresh veggies :carrot: sure miss having them.

:hun: Have a dinner planed this weekend for friends coming in from out of town, am sure they would like us to do our regular:jeno: :burger: but i am a new woman. So salad, chicken and veggies of some sort. Hope they don't starve to death.......


:welcome2:Brittney!!:wave:

Must get my butt to work :sssh: am supposed to be there.

Not sure i will get back here until after the weekend. So have a great one ladies :cheer:

Got to get going so I'm ready for the meeting. I'll post later.

Hello Everyone: :gossip:

:welcome: Momtu2 and Brittney :welcome:

I had computer problems yesterday and thought I was gonna be off line for a long long time :cry: The problem is fixed :carrot:

Suz I have a huge veggie garden. I LOVE fresh fruits and veggies. I do not like fruit trees because they bring so many darn bees and my dh is allergic but I do love my garden. :D Love to fish too, do you ice fish? :D :coolsnow:
We do :D

WamTam have ya thawed out any? :hug: We had freezing fog yesterday, has anyone ever heard of freezing fog? :shrug: I never knew. We are getting an ice strom this weekend...whoo hoo cannot wait..:rolleyes: Stay on track this weekend and good luck!

Trekkiegirl - I will have to try the lean pockets they sound like something I would like :D But when I used to weigh over 200lbs there was NOT much I did NOT like :o

Scale - glad u are back :hug: good vibes sent to you :crossed:

Bonnie :listen: :listen: where are U????????

Kiwi :nono: Kiwi :nono: :yawn: the only horse you have is a "high horse"
:lol3: that you need to get knocked off of :kickbutt: and I AM the one to do it :club: :club: :lol3:
I am sorry at your AGE :devil: you must be getting so so delusional :?: Maybe alert a family member so they can check that out for ya :lol3:

Seriously..I wish Kiwi and I did live near each other just think of the :lol: we would have. :hug:

Stay strong over the weekend ladies :dust: and remember before you "cheat" ask yourself "DO YOU LIKE IT ENOUGH TO WEAR IT" long after the weekend is gone :blah: :blah:

Have a great one!!!!!!!!

Danni :wave:

Hello everyone!:wave:

Okay momtu2 I'm changing my goal. :carrot: I think we are going on a cruise early part of April :woohoo: so I need to lose more than 7 pounds. I want to be in a 14!! :belly:

So tell me the truth. Danni, Suz, you may know the answer to this question.:listen: If I start exercising (real exercise:strong: ) will that actually hurt me as far getting this weight off quicker? :halfempty I know in the long run its better for me. But since I only have a month would it be pointless and actually make me gain. :chin: I know muscle weighs more than fat and all that stuff. But is it possible to actually lose enough inches in 30 days to drop a whole size. :smug: If so what exercise is best.:running: :exercise: :bike2: :ebike: :workout:
I'll find out today rather or not we are going. :cp:

Danni I've never heard of freezing fog. It makes sense. Fog is mist and mist is water. It must be extremely cold where you are. :brr: Are you in Ala.or Mich.? I thought I knew but I guess I forget! ;)
Our warm weather has come back. :sunny: I'm loving it!!:D Soooo sorry for all you cold weather states. :^:
Danni all kidding aside. You know I like messing with ya.:lol: (you're such a easy target) oops I did it again! :rofl: Wouldn't it be great ladies if we could all meet up one day. :grouphug: We could book a suite here on the beach and stay for the weekend! :beach: We'll have to do that one day ladies!! :yay: Not anytime soon, I have a cruise to think about,:D but some day we'll have to do it!!:grouphug:

Good luck Scalewatcher! My fingers are crossed for you.:crossed: Hey have you tried those spoons WW has? :D 1 cup and 1/2 cup. At first I thought they were silly to get because I have measuring cups. But later I got and now I absolutely love them. That is all I use now. :stir:

Suz, Quarter horses is what we have also. We have 3. My DH and son ride alot. Me not so much. Personally, I'm ready to get rid of all of them and buy a boat! The horses that is. :lol: I love the water.:swim:

Everyone stay fit over the weekend! don't cheat and drink plenty of water!

:coffee: <<<man i miss my full-fat/sugar starbucks!
morning ladies! how is everyone today? i'm glad to see so many people wanting to join in the mini challenge!!
anyone who's doing WW i got a yummy chocolate muffin recipe that i made this morning. it's pretty good, and they're only 1 pt each. i'll post the recipe if anyone is intrested, or i can PM you w/it.
kiwi:omg! you are going to have sooo much fun on your cruise! we went on one on our honeymoon and had a blast. i'm so jealous! we still have snow on the ground:devil:
oh, i also bought a new video last night that i tried this morning. Walk Away the Pounds. i really liked it. it's fun, and the work outs are quick so i can get them done before the kids are under my feet needing something.:carrot:
oh! my dh came home w/some sinfully yummy looking coffee cake last night. filled w/some kind of cream cheese filling. :mad: :censored: oh i was so mad at him! i had one bite of his last night and made him take it to work this morning so it wasn't here to tempt me. go me! :cheer2:
well, i hope everyone does well this weekend, i know that's the hardest days for me. gotta love donut sunday :o
i don't think i'll be around much this weekend. my DS (15mos) has been crabby and lethargic today so i think he's probably getting sick. so if anyone has any healthy baby vibes i could use them.
have a great weekend ya'll.
:grouphug:

Great news Ladies:hug:

At WI I lost 1.8 pounds. That makes me down 5.2 for since 2-2-07. :cp:

Danni-Thanks for the :goodvibes .
I am on :cloud9:. I am going to :write: :running: :exercise: everything more carefully. Hopefully I can lose more weight next week.

momtu2- I sending :goodvibes to DS.

Kiwi- I have not tried them. However, I did but the WW pedometer today. The one I bought at Wal-mart keep losing my totals and starting over. I will try it tomorrow.

Weighed in this morning. Didn't lose but I didn't gain!! So I'm happy and now I can start fresh today.

Congratulations Scalewatcher on the weight loss! That means you got your first star!! You are soooo awesome! I am 6 pounds away from my getting my key chain!! Wahoo!!

Well I'm going on a cruise!! So I would very much like to be in a 14 when I leave so I'm still waiting on someone to give me some quick tips!! I have 6 weeks to lose 1 size smaller than I am or at least as close to it as possible. Any advice? Special exercise? Target areas would be stomach and legs. I guess just leg lifts and stomach crushes Huh?

hey everyone! I'm just stopping by to say hey. I kinda came down with extreme sickness in my chest yesterday, so now I'm just trying to focus on not dying. I worked last night. 7 hours of serving with 3 big tops including a girls basketball team. It was horrible torture.

Well, I hope you guys are doing well. Once I get well enough to get my brain working again, I'll post my goal for April 1st.

Have a great weekend.
