HI to all,

and to Time&again and Jess a special hello I was new her so recently but it seems like I have always belonged ;-}

Must be us Canadians EH?

Anyway, a quick step up at the gym tonight revealed a total loss of 3 pounds so far this month...I may make my mini goal yet.... and the workout plan is doing it job..I am getting compliments all over the place...always good for the ego..

And it is a balmy 7 here tday and moe of the same tomorrow...love them prairies! lol

Deborah

Good morning everyone.....It's great that we have a few new fellow Canadian's. It's been a long stressful week for me and I am glad it's over. Yesterday afternoon I realized I hadn't eaten a bite since Wed at breakfast! Got to stop doing that!

Deborah - your doing a great job! I believe you will make your mini goal....keep it up!

Cat - You are our rock that keeps this going....I told ya before but Thanks again.

Hefty - Congrats on the loss!!!! I was thinking of moving to brampton as well and taking the Go train to work but I am still undecided.

Hope everyone is doing great and enjoys the weekend...me I am heading into work for a few hours!

Dale

Hi Cathy,
Yes , I would recomend the total gym. I really works. I ordered it from the home shopping network. I think I mentioned it was an impulse buy. Boy am I glad I did. You work up to the full routine. It's not that hard , more like slow and controlled movements. I'm happy to say that I lost another 6 pounds. Whew!

Fell off the wagon a couple of times during the week and was worried I had blown the whole week. Just about fell down when I went for a weigh in.. I meet with four other women every saturday morning to weigh in. It definately is the exercise that is the key. That and litres and litres of water. That sound you hear is me sloshing when I
walk.

Take care

Jess

Glen, two hours to work WOW! That's dedication. I have some friends that work at the plant. One lives in Niagara on the Lake. Quite a hike isn't it.
Take care!
Jess

Hi Girls and Glen,

Now its me thats been MIA :lol: i had a really busy weekend doing yardwork and i've got the sunburn to prove it :eek: i did OK yesterday ;) the talking too must have worked :lol: and today is looking OK too :D

Jess, AWESOME WEIGHTLOSS :bravo: think i'll have to get one of those total gyms ;) or i could just get my butt onto some of the exercise equipment i've already got :lol:

Dale, i see from your stats that your down another couple of pounds :cp: well done!

Deborah, keep plugging for that goal girl :cb: you can do it ;) congrats on the loss.

Good eveing all!!!!! Hope everyone is feeling as relaxed as I am right now and not how I felt a couple of hours earlier.....had to spend an hour and a half in the dentist's chair and my mouth feels spent....clean but spent!

Cat- sounds like the wather was great for you this weekend! We had rain and wind...thought it would snow for abit there. I have made my half way mark and am finally starting to feel like this is do able...I will get to my goal, I will get to my goal!

Goodnight!

Dale

Happy Friday all...just a quick note as I am at work and it's going to be hectic. Have a great one! Cat yes lets celebrate together!!! I am turning 32 this year...sniff

Dale

hi all. i'll will be 50 this year. have good week end
:) glen

Thats nothing to "sniff" about Dale :lol: the best years of your life :lol: or so you'll think when you're my age :rolleyes: i'll be the BIG 50 TOO Glen ;) :fr: no more 40's :cry: i love being a gran tho' :D so its not all downhill :rofl:

It's been a while...
 

Hi Everyone! I haven't been here in a long time. I'm glad to see this thread is still going.

I don't have good things to report :cry: I have the 1/2 marathon in 2 weeks :yikes: I was doing really well with training and then 3 weeks ago--POOF! Haven't done a darn thing as far as exercise is concerned and my eating has been horrible. My only excuse is that I had a bad cold which my son got, then DS ended up with pneumonia and was home from school for over a week, then I got a sinus and chest infection that are finally clearing up. I think I better fumigate the house so the germs are all gone and can't morph into anything else!

I went out grocery shopping today and only bought good stuff. Fruits, veggies, mini whole wheat pitas. So I'm hoping to start out this week on a good foot.

DALE--32? Your still just a pup! I turned 40 April 11th. To me it's only a number. Who cares what the number says!

I gotta go throw in a wash before the game! Go Leafs Go!!!!

Glad you're feeling better Susanne :D we missed you, you know ;)

I've been wicked :devil: with eating chocolate this weekend :lol: so i'm being an :angel: today :cb: so far! I'm doing the Canada Day Challenge and i've committed to losing 20lbs over the next 2 months :yikes: I CAN DO IT when i put my mind to it so i'd better put my mind to it :lol:

Good evening everyone...Zanne I am so gald that you posted I thought about you alot! We missed you! That was a really bad game wasn't it? They better play better tomorrow or we are gonna have to say goodbye for the year and I really wanted this one to end with a parade.

Cat...YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!! I am rooting for you!

Have a wonderful eveing everyone and will talk more tomorrow.

Dale

Hi Girls and Glen ;)

I WAS an :angel: all day :D :cb: I WILL DO IT!! Today is going good too ;) i'm not craving anything so hopefully that is the end of the Cho****** :ziplip: binges.

Dale, look at your stats girl :yikes: 29lbs gone!! WELL DONE :bravo: you'll soon be 30 something down :cb:

Hi All,
Well my good month turned out a little less than planned. However, I did lose two, down to 228. And, I also lost 4.25 inches...a figure I am more impressed with than the weight!

Congrats all!

As long as we are trying, that is the important thing!

Deborah

Deborah WTG :bravo: the inches are more important ;) which reminds me i've still got to take my measurements.

Day 3 is going like clockwork :cb: i'm doing so well with eating at the moment that its scary :fr: i'm working on drinking some water and i'll start on the exercise next :D maybe i'll manage to get a workout in in the morning.

Well, i finally got some exercise in yesterday :) walked 3 miles and weighed in today with a 4.5lbs loss :cb: so all the hard work is paying off :D

CONGRATULATIONS CAT.....good job! doesn't feel great?


Dale

Thanks Dale ;) yes it does :) now i've got to keep it up :rolleyes: and catch up to you :D

:wave: wtg to all the losers (wieght loss) lately i am feeling bloated and gassy maybe it's
male pms :lol: i didn't :scale: today i slept in
:) glen

Hiya Glen, thats no excuse :nono: just because you slept in does'nt mean you get to miss weighing in :rollpin: hope the pms is better soon ;)

Good evening everyone!.

Cat you will catch up in no time...the first few weeks are the hardest and as long as you stick to it than its not so bad. Me, my problem was spending the last two weeks not really focusing. Got caught up in how good everyone said I looked and forgot that I still had a way to go. But I am back now and ready to lose again!

Hefty, Bloated and Gassy? were you drinking a beer at the time by any chance? :lol:

Cat I will do a exercise challenge with you if you want. My challenge will be to do my WATP (which I have not done in about 3 weeks) every other day. Are you up for it? Maybe the challenge will keep me focused.

Have a great night all.....It's it so beautiful out right now I know tonight I am going to sleep like a baby.

Dale

You bet i'm in Dale and i'm already ahead of the game cos i treadmilled 2mls yesterday and this morning :D :lol: its gorgeous here too and all my laundry is downstairs waiting to be hung out :rolleyes: and its been waiting a couple of hours :lol: i'll go and do it after i've posted ;) i'm on track with eating (surprisingly!) and have not strayed from my plan much at all :shrug: well, nothing that would do too much damage ;) so that scale better be good to me on Friday morning :wave:

Scale was good to me and i'm down another 3lbs :cheer: and i'm hot on the heels of Dale :lol: i'm really really motivated at the moment and know that i can do this :D I did'nt exercise yesterday had loads of gardening to do after work but i walked 3mls the day before :tread: :wave:

Hey all you Try'ers :coach: start trying a bit harder :lol:

I walked another 3mls yesterday :cp:

:wave: cathy have you singing "are you lonesome tonight" by elvis the last few days
:lol: wtg on tthe loses
dale it may have the beer. i lost 2.2 tw
:) glen

Well Done Glen :cp:

I've been sat in all day and i want to munch :( trying hard to stay on track. I've allowed myself a couple of beers tonight :T hopefully they won't lead to me wanting more snacks. I'll let you know how i get on :D

Well...it's monday and I am back from the evil weekend where I was completely OP. OFF PROGRAM that is. I woke up today and said "that's it" your going to focus on this weightloss and even though I have not gained, I could have been so much more closer the my goal right now. The challenge that I am doing on another thread is going to be finished in a few weeks and I better get really serious if I am going to meet my goal.

Have a great day everyone!!!!! even if it is Monday!

Dale

Join the club Dale :shrug: i had a good reason to be OP "off plan" though, it was my birthday :hb: it was a friend of mines too and she threw a party/bbq at her house :D we had ice cream cake, the works :T and hubby bought me a huge box of chocolate truffles :T i could'nt be mad at him cos he's heard me say that i'm on a diet so much that he probably thought it did'nt matter :lol: i've been stuffing my face with them for the last 2 days :rofl: so i'm going to get him to help me finish them off tonight so that i can get back OP :wave:

Cat, sounds like you had a great birthday!...Happy belated btw. Mine is on Friday and I want to be good for the whole week so I can celebrate too.

I think I am going to be slipping for quite some time because of all the future engagements I have, so my goal it too be really good when I am not at a function and then not berate myself for having a "fun" night.

Good luck with getting rid of the truffles....

Dale

cat and dale: happy "19" i will be "39" in july
:) glen

:lol: thanks Glen

All the chocs are gone :yes: so its back to business today :cb:

Dale, i won't let a "diet" ruin my life :lol: enjoy the "do's" ;) i know i do :D if we are good the remainder of the time then we'll be fine. God, the news is on and they are saying there is a water shortage up island :dunno: so early in the year too :eek: i love this weather but a good downpour is really needed. I'm gonna go lay on the deck and work on my tan :wave:

Hi Everyone :wave:

Dale, hope you had a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY :hb: yesterday :D

I gained a pound this week after all the 'celebrating'? don't know if i should call it that at my age :lol: anyway, thats not so bad i'll be back to losing next week :D

:wave: i lost 8.4 :goodscale:
dale: :hb: hope the beer tasted good.
good luck next week cathy.
:) glen

Thanks Guys!...I had a great time on my birthday. Cat happy belated as well.

Shawn threw a surprise party for me and alot of my freinds were there as well as some family. The good news is I woke up that day with a 1 pound loss. Considering the amount of cheating I have done lately I was thrilled to see the loss.

Cat don't let the gain bring you down, you have been doing great lately and you have given me the inspiration to get back on track now that my birthday is over. I have an engagement party to go to next weekend but I am going to be good until than and after the party I have no big plans for quite some time so I am going to really focsued on making my goal.

Have a great long weekend everyone. We will be going to the fireworks tomorrow if the weather holds up.

Dale
