Hi Ladies,

It is pretty slow on the board, where has everyone gone. We need to keep posting to stay op, it helps so much to keep focused on our goals! I just did my weighin and posting on the Christmas challenge and was pleasantly surprised to find I lost 2 lbs this week in spite of a couple bad choices during the week. I had several pieces of peanut butter fudge, my favorite, and chocolate fudge, my next favorite. About 4 pieces all together! I was sure that would keep me from losing, but I guess my good choices must have outweighed the bad.

Pam, I am glad to hear your FIL is doing a little better. Hope he can come home soon. Congratulations on the weight loss. You are doing so good, and getting to your goal!

Congratulations Ruby, 10 lbs is awesome, you can do it. Sal, Terry and Meigg it sounds like you are really committed and op. Keep up the good work, you can do this. We all can - we can ---

Fran, if you are ready for a challenge join us on the Christmas challenge thread.

Well I got my exercise yesterday, first I walked over to my sons house, then I helped with his roofing job. He was really working hard to get finished before the rain moved in last night. We worked until 6 o'clock. It was dark and working with lights the last hour or so. My dh and I didn't get on the roof we did the measuring and marking for screws on the metal roofing. We also worked with him last Sunday when he did the other side of the roof. He got it all done except the covering along the peak. He wants to do the finishing work in the daylight. Its a good thing he did get it finished because it rained all night and it is still raining! Maybe it was because of this extra exercise that I lost weight this week in spite of the fudge!

Karie, I can't even imagine getting up at 5:00 in the morning and going to the gym. THAT IS TRULY DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT! It is no wonder that you have done so well.





:wave: :dance: Hi to anyone I missed. Good luck to everyone for an op day.

Hi Ladies :wave: Grandma G..thanks for the pep talk and congrats on the loss too :D i've joined your challenge and i'm hoping for a 10lbs loss for christmas ;) five weeks to go so it's do-able..gotta run..have a great weekend :wave:

Just wanted to report that I've been for my swim. Did 26 lengths tonight, want to get back up to 40, which will mean me swimming a kilometre - is going to take a while.

Feel better for going but am dog tired now.

Off to snuggle with Ray on the couch and then to read in bed for a while.

Weighing in tomorrow - expecting to gain - not been that good over the last few days. Not bad either, just not good enough

Good morning ladies,

I haven't been posting much, but I see no one has. I had a bout with my arhritis, had to take my medicine again and sure enough, put back a few pounds... not sure what it is about it.... anyway, am going to try to only take it 3 times a week, see if that will keep it under control and not interfere with my losing. I am still
convinced I can do this... saw an old acquaitance yesterday, she was severly overweight and had her stomach stapled last May. She is looking real good and has lost a lot of weight. I certainly do not want to go to the extremes, I CAN DO THIS with perservance and determination...I am hoping once I get back into the routine of going out to work at the greenhouse itself again, I have better control, until then while working at home its to easy to go to the kitchen. But until I go back in Feb. I must get myself started....find the old will power and put it to use.

DH is trying to fix my treadmill, says it needs a new belt, so I can regulate the speed. He has till wed. to fix it.. as that is when he goes in for his knee surgery. I have to go to town and see if I can find a belt.

Going to a funeral this morning, a friend age 53 died last week. He was sickly most of his life,, he was one of those who enjoyed the drugs in the 60-70's.

TAke care all and have an op day.
