Morning...boy I missed alot of the weekends...some newbies joined...welcome welcome...

I had a good OP weekend, which was hard since I went to two cookouts...but I stayed strong...even worked a homemade brownie into my calories...I was down to 217 on Saturday so now I am officially down 20 which makes me feel good, but I wont really feel that great until I am in the single digit 2's and know that I am getting really close!!!

Auntie G and Mez - let me know how you like those exercise dvds , I am always looking for new ones to do in my basement in the winter.

Arabella - 40 pounds down, great job !!!!! You are doing so well...cannot wait until I can say that ...

DJay - you are way too close not to go under 200 anyday now, good luck!

Hope you all have a good day...

Morning All ...cant believe I was the last one that posted yesterday and the first one this morning. Hope everyone is doing okay. I have my weekly weigh in here at work this morning in about an hour...I was down only two at home so I guess we will see what the scales say here.

It sure is great weather around here lately ( Indiana ) ...about 80-82 all week and then next week the high 70's...Fall is here !!! Cant wait until it is about low 70's for a while.

Well everyone have a great day!!!

(Hee hee hee!) Hello fellow travellers! I'm on track this week, hoping to make a dent... I still haven't started much of an exercise program, so I know that has to come soon. I just don't want to jam on something that won't last. I guess I'm waiting for the right inspiration to come along. At least that's the excuse I'm going with for now...

Arabella, I didn't know who the Carb Queen was, so I had to look her up. Oh yeah! That dang giant donut that used to show up on the 3FC new posts page- grrrrr... I still don't know much about her, but 48 lbs in one week? That's insane! Good job on the 14K steps! Keep it up! I think I might have to get me a pedometer!

Carri, wow! 2 cookouts, and stayed on plan - congrats! And you should feel good about being down 20! Every even 10 is certainly cause for celebration (of the non-food variety!) We've been having some great weather here, too. I should really take advantage of the perfect walking weather before it gets too cold. (Btw, it wasn't me with the exercise DVDs - wish I would, but know I won't!) TBL tonight - yay! Oh, and how did your work weigh in go??

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Djay – I have not made that close 201 was my closest to onelander. It’s been my goal for sometime now. (look at my joining date) So I feel your pain. So here’s a caring shove.

Auntie g – I also found that just the meal wasn’t enough to get me full. WTG on the non splurge day. I’m sending will power dust for your staying on plan this week.

Satine – Fingers crossed the work scale is kind to you. Yes fall is here nice time. It’s more comfortable to go outside and do stuff w/o getting bit. The bugs love me! I will keep you posted on the DVD’s I have a lot of different ones. I like to work out at home. Walk Away The Pounds are one of my staples. I love I can get a quick mile or 2 in. Even on busy days.

Arabella – What is sound yoga?

Today is weight in. I’m hoping for a loss. I’ve done well with eating not going over mostly going under my points. I know I should eat all but I’ve been full. I even worked out.
I went shopping last night and I picked up a yoga block it came with a strap. I have no idea how to use this but it was on clearance a few more yoga DVDs (so the block may come in handy), yoga pants ( So compy!) a yoga sling bag for my matt, and a gym bag for all my equipment. These were all on clearance! I love finding bargains…it my form of hunting. Well I put off my weighing long enough.. fingers crossed I see an least an ounce gone.

Morning...my stomach just started to growl so I guess it is time to get some breakfast in me...I had my cheat meal last night and I added up all of the calories and it was about 2800!!! wow, I usually keep around 1500 so that was quite a jump- maybe I should have had that king size Twix, ha ha
oh well, it keeps me on track and keeps my metabolism guessing.

I was down 3.8 at work, which is about right since it has been two weeks since I weighed...I am still currently in first place with 3 more weeks to go, I will win about 300.00 if I remain in first, fingers crossed!!!

Auntie G - last night was a good BL show...that whole water slide thing made me so tired just watching it, geez they work those people...Also I am like you, I have lost those 20 pounds without exercising once, but I know that will stop soon and I will have to...good luck on staying on track!

Arabella - that color was crazy...hard on the eyes, ha ha ...but thanks for the compliment...17 pds , well I guess 18 to 199...here I come!!! I cannot believe you get that many steps in all day, 14k? GREAT job!!!

Mez - I also love the WATP dvds, I found her a little annoying but I can get through it, ha ha ...

Have a great day all, gotta go eat !!!

Carri

2 lb loss. Will take any amount

Satine - Completey agree with you on L.S. I just mute it and put on my music. It not hard to follow which is great for me.

I've been wondering where this thread went!

Auntie g- don't get discouraged now! I've got the door propped open and saving you a prime spot by the pool where you can watch the HOT lifeguards! Yes...It's always summer in Onederland!

Thanks to all who joined in to give me that final shove...I know that is what did it...OK...along with the extra hours of walking and no cheating for the past month...But it took that shove to finally get to Onederland!

Hope to see you all soon!

Morning All ...I was right back on plan and doing well yesterday from my cheat meal on Weds night so I feel good about it ...I am still dreaming aboutt how good that Twix tasted though, ha ha

Brought a chicken salad sandwhich today on wheat and a SF pudding for lunch...getting pretty hungry already.

DJay - great job on being in Onederland...I have been there a few times but never really get comfortable until about 195 for some reason...I just LOVE seeing that 199 number, any "1" number on the scale is great, again CONGRATS!!

Arabella - Yeah I hope I do win the money at this point it looks like I will win but we still have three weigh ins to go so we will see.

Auntie G - I thought the same thing too, it would really hurt the stomach when hitting that grass...it hurt me just watching it ...

Mez - Hi!!

Hope you all have a great day, talk to you soon!!!

Auntie g – Do you know what kind of pizza she is bring? If so check out www.calorieking.com they have a lot of food info on there so you can figure out what will work with your plan.

Djay – congrats!!

Arabella – I checked out that URL. I found it very interesting and would love to give it a try. I did try my Yoga for weight loss. I wasn’t able to a lot of the moves. I do feel relaxed.

Satine – Waving hello back!

Today I was eating my lunch. (chicken breast, kashi 7 grains, bell pepper slices and a pineapple/peach/tomato/hot peppers salsa placed on top of chicken) While I sat there eating and drinking my water I felt full. WHA?? Full could I be!!! But there is still food on my plate!! So ate another bite and though your full stop! Just because there is food on your plate doesn’t mean you have to eat it! So I did and it felt great!

Auntie g - I love the positive view on not over eating. Having a plan of action works out best for me.
