Faye - You look like you are having a great time ( and you look great too )...
win some money for me huh? Glad you could check in with us ...

Okay, I had 3 points yesterday, and still doing well....just lacking exercise which would no doubt step up the weight loss, bad Carri, bad Carri

Today is Weds Woes, normally, I really do not think that I have any this week, so we will go with that....it has been great weather lately here and it looks like another great sunny day yesterday it got to like 70 degrees, my husband used the grill last night for the first time this season, we grilled chicken, it was soooooooooooo good ...

Susan - I also get frustrated not being able to see it, and that others dont see it so much, I have lost over 30 pounds since January and not one person at work has said squat, I am amazed...I guess maybe because they see me everyday, who knows...I dont see it that much either but my dh does, so that makes me feel good....

Julie - Yes it has been hard this Easter season not buying any candy, I love those little hard shelled mini eggs from cadburys, and I did have a tiny bag a couple of weeks ago - but still was able to stay OP that day....hey I wonder why we dont have any Easter smileys? Or did I miss them .... anyhow ...

Sandy - Hope the leg gets better

Have a good day all ...

Afternoon!

Faye, awesome pictures! Wish that I was there with ya.

Julie, jelly beans are my favorite that is if I can get the jelly bellys. I love them.

So far today I have gotten in 5 min on the stair climber and my ab workout. Water has been easy so far and I am on the road to eating healthy today! Yeah!!

Carri, don't beat yourself up over the exercise thing. Hey take everything one day at at time. You will get there I just that you will. Good Carri.........good Carri.

Gotta run work is a calling. Later chickies.

Hugs,
sandy

Hello All
I've been to the gym already and had a good workout. I really comfused the guy at the dest though. He's in one of my classes. Here I come marching in, we greet each other and I go on my way. I have to go ask a prof a question and its the only time I can hope to run into him durring the day so I leave the gym and come back right after. Same guy at the dest hasa puzzled look but is on the phone so I can't explain. I finnish my workout and head out of the gym...as soon as I'm out I notice I'm missing something and have to go back in and find it, "You're back again!!!?" To top it all off what I thought I had lost was outside by my bike th whole time

Go Carri! the hardest part is just starting.

Faye - looks like you're having a great time!

My favorite Easter candy is bar none the traditional cadburry cream eggs. I savor every second a piece of one of those is in my mouth

Good Morning everyone.

No time to chit chat.........4 points for me yesterday, WOO HOO>

Had a hard time waking up this morning to go walk, but I did drag myself out of bed and the sun was shining. So I'm glad I did.

Faye, You look great! Glad you're having fun.

Gotta go........Everyone have a great day!
Julie

Hello everyone, hope you are all having a good day, it looks to be another great day here in IN, sunny and warm... high about 63 degrees and so sunny... - too bad I am stuck inside this office

3 points for me yesterday

Thursday, time for me will be going out with the girls tonight for dinner, no men....but I will be good for dinner, I think we are doing mexican so it may just be a couple of chicken tacos, not alot of cheese or sour creme ..and maybe some rice, I gotta be good since we weigh in tomorrow ( and I have been having some good numbers on the scale !! )

Have a good day everyone...Stay OPP ( whoops too many p's ), "yeah you know me", ha ha ha ha

Later ...

Well this is just sad .... no posts since mine this morning? Where is everyone hiding????

Hi Everyone

No exercise for me yesterday as i took to spring cleaning with a vengeance moved furniture, shampoo-ed carpets i need to tackle the kitchen cupboards next but i'm not really in the mood today as i had a few drinks with hubby last night and i've lost my ooomph You'll have to quit talking about chocolate easter eggs cos i have no willpower where they are concerned i'm currently addicted to the caramilk ones used to be the creme ones but now they are second will be searching for cheap ones over the weekend hopefully someone will beat me to it and buy them all

Forgot to say your pics are great Faye but does'nt the Rock look puny he does'nt look very big at all or is it me

hello all
Boy did I get a work out today! Besides doing my usual cardio and weights...I got trained for rock climbing! OUCH! Now that's an arm work out!
I am deleriously happy at the moment because I'm on the running crew for the up comming play at my school. I miss it so much! I haven't been on crew in almost 2 years! ahhh the theater, I may just have to double major....

Morning ladies!

Carri, hope that you enjoyed your girls nite out.

Cathy, wooo I think that the house work in itself is a total workout. With all the lifting and tuging what better workout. OK I know that it isn't the most fun to be had but hey it is a workout.

Susan rock climbing. That sounds like so much fun. Theater...........I miss that so much. Use to be involoved heavily way back when. Life some how got in the way. Really hope that you have the time of your life.

Yesterday was a pitiful day as far as food goes but did get in some exercise and water. This morning I am very dizzy so I think that until I get over that I will take it easy. Gotta move and go to work.

Morning Ladies!
Well, no pounds down this Friday. Plateau.......time to change up the program AGAIN!! SO, this time I think I will try not eating after 7pm. I'm a big pm snacker, but I don't think I'm usually hungry when I do it. I just eat while watching tv out of habit. So, time to work on getting rid of that habit. I hope that will nudge that scale down a few pounds.

I've decided not to do a turkey for this Easter.......if I make a turkey, then I HAVE to make mashed potatoes and stuffing, etc etc and it will just send me into a tailspin for the next week. Really don't want that! Guess I'll cook up a turkey ham and greek phyllo pie w/spinach and leeks and artichokes. Also, not going to go overboard with the kids candy......I always eat a bunch of that too.

Yesterday I bought dh and I new baseball mitts and a softball. We actually had the whole family outside after dinner throwing a ball around.......TOGETHER! I swear it was positively Norman Rockwell!!! Gonna see if we can keep encouraging after dinner activity outside instead of just automatically turning on the tv. We're getting rid of our satellite service when our contract runs out in June, so that will be a huge change. No more regular tv, just videos.

Oh, I also broke out the grill last night.......Guess spring fever just got the best of me at last! It was in the 50s and sunny, which seemed so balmy after the past week of snow and rain.

Well, guess I gotta go. Susan, enjoy your theater gig! I love it so much, but it's impossible to be a theatre geek and a mom at the same time. I settle for working on my dance production, which is PLENTY of work! And I make them very theatrical too. Stage managing was my favorite thing to do back in college. Oh and WTG on the rock climbing!!

Carrie, can't wait to see your numbers today!

Everyone else have a great day and Happy Easter, if you don't pop back in until Monday!

Later babes,
Julie

Happy Good Friday everyone !!!!

I had three points yesterday - and I do have pounds down to report, I lost 2.5 pounds this week !!! I am so excited to be this close to
being under 200, I have not weighed in at 201.5 for like 4 years....and yes this weekend will be hard ( for everyone ) too much candy and food floating around

We have got a full, full weekend starting tonight, my dh is making me go out tonight to a bar where our friends band plays, so maybe I will be home by 3 or 4, then our best friends little girl turns 3 on Saturday so there is a kid/adult party there that night, and then Sunday - Easter of course with both sets of parents...My dh and I are actually taking off Monday just to recoop....

Julie - Sorry to hear about the plateau but I know it wont last long, I think you should try what you said...I usually try not to eat after 8:00 and I go to bed around 10:30 or so....we fired up the grill the other night too, something about warm spring weather....I am glad that you can enjoy being out now

Sandy - hope you got over the dizzyness and feel better

Susan - congrats on the play ( the crew ) - that sounds like alot of fun

Cat - I need to start in with the Spring cleaning, and soon, we are about to put our house on the market and it needs to be clean, clean, clean, wanna come help? Ha!

Everyone have a great Easter weekend!!! Talk to you all later ....

Hi Ladies,

I have been quiet because this has been a really busy week. So busy, in fact, that I have been really skimping on the workouts.

Tuesday I went to the gym, but then ran out of time for my afternoon cardio. (Stayed OP and drank water though so 3.5 pts)

Wednsday (my not gym day) I didn't do anything because by the time I got back dropping off my car to be fixed (Windshield crasked, fixed under warrenty) The Boys were there and cardio was not an option. (3 pts)

Thursday I went to the gym, but I was really pushed for time so I only did one set of my cycle. I did get in a good hour and a half, run/walk in the afternoon before I went to get my car. Still my rutine was thrown off so I was low on water. (2.5 pts)

Yet dispite all that: I am down this week. 3 lbs, I am not sure on inches cause I haven't measured yet. I haven't been 190 in years. I might even get to the 180s next week. How exciting! It is motivating. I am going to drink all my water today, and watch what I eat. (I have the day off, and it is so much harder to eat well when you are at home without a schedule, I find.)

Susan: cool on the play. I love crew, although I usually end up on stage when I am involved. My Sweety is a master set builder/designer.

Spring is here finally! It is sunny and mostly dry and promising to stay that way for at least a week. That is all we ask for here in NE.

Have a great day ladies!

Knobhdy - Congrats on the loss !!!! Great Job

WOO HOOOOO FOR CARRIE AND NOBHDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You Girls ROCK!!!! This is just the news I needed to keep me on the straight and narrow this holiday weekend! It motivates me so much when I see my friends succeeding. I'm so proud of you!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to join you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
