  • Thank you Hippy!

    And holly, you are one busy bee!
  • Good morning Ladies!. I've made it!, my goal was 540 minutes for 2 weeks and I've completed 570 = 30 minutes extra!!
    BUT, stepped on the scale this morning and weighed in at 211, +0.5 up . I think its because of thursday, I used a whole lot of extra points on that day, about 20 all at once!! Gotta stay focused
    I won't let that get me down, its a new month, new challenge; hoping to get 1590 minutes done for April

    Debbie: keep it up !
    Girlie: I hope you feel better soon
    Shari: yay!!
    Holly: 9 kids??!!!??! you're amazing!
    HippyHippo: yay 3 lbs!! I get those hot flashes although my TOM is three weeks away.. hate it!

    Everyone else, keep up the good work! we're almost there
  • Good Morning, good morning!!!!
    Hubby and I are planning how to get the kids. I was going to tell them to hustle and get ready for school and not miss the bus.

    We had a fab first thunder storm of the season last night. A real crasher. I was all cozied up in bed reading. Delightful.
    No specific plans today. yippee!!! Lots I can do. Going back to the garage and see if I can wrangle a trade. They were getting wishy washy on me.
    -housework
    -tax stuff
    -Avon brochure and order delivery
    -a nice soak in the tub

    We may go and get our new pets today.

    My weight was down 2 the other day. I will weigh in again and see if it was for real.
  • Just saying hello. I'm going to have breakfast with the hubby, but wanted to check in and update my signature - down 2.4 this week, very surprisingly. I started off badly this week, but worked out hard and even went in at 6am today before weigh-in.

    Hope you all have a great day - the weather is LOVELY here!
  • Congrats Holly and Girlie!
  • Hello,
    Well I got through my week of taking care of the customers. I didn't get much sleep and when I got home Friday I crashed. The first night I was out with the group I had a little to much to drink; I got caught up with the party mood of the group and I suffered that next day. The second group I paced myself. Still had a lot of fun but didn't feel like crap the next day. Just tired because they stayed at the club until 3:00 a.m.!

    I got a lot done around the house yesterday and spent some time reading to relax. I'm going to go for a walk today. The sun is shinning and it looks warm so I think I'll walk outside.

    I didn't get to weigh-in because I was out of town but I have a weigh-in this week and I'm really looking forward to it. I feel I've stayed on plan and I'm working hard to keep on it. I keep telling myself that I'm doing something nice for me and that it is a privilage to do so.

    I'm happy for those that lost this week. I'm planning on joining you!

    Ok..got to run.

  • well i am back from the beach.oh man i had sooo much fun,layed on the beach for three days,sooo nice!!! i did not want to come home at all,i begged to stay longer,we promised each other we are going to move there one day soon. better be soon,at least a year or two
  • Hey everyone,
    I've had a great w-end. Today we went to the local flea market to buy our tomato plants. Walked for 2 hour at a fair pace. I didn't take time to browse. I was on a mission and wouldn't be distracted...lol. It is 89f here now. It's hard not to think about planting the garden. We bought tomato, squash, okra,
    pepper, watermelon, and cantaloupe plants.

    I've stayed within my pt range for the last couple of days.
    I'll WI tomorrow when I go to curves.

    Charliekay: glad you had a great trip.

    Susie: Sounds like you really enjoyed yourself...LOL

    Shari, girlie, and Holly: Way to go, you guys...WOO...HOO!!!

    Later :gouphug:
  • House is very clean for a change.Well, at least by my standards, which aren't high . Kids had a good aft and eve. Hubby must of gone to bed. i thought he was out in the shed but the lights are off.

    I confess to loving our little gerbil, Bozo. I could watch him for hours. Goldie is my first Guinea pig.He is pretty cuddly.

    The cats have settled down a bit with the new fellas.

    The Junos were great but Kalan didn't sing!!

    6 kids tomorrow.

    Hubby does not want the wagon. Our van is perfectly fine; just pricey for gas.

    I will cut corners other ways.

    That's about it. Hugs and good night.
  • Girlie: Yay for the loss!!
    Susie: have a great walk and good luck with the weigh-in
    Charliekay: Sounds amazing, I love the beach! The weather isnt helping though
    Debbie: veggi garden sounds great!, planting burns calories good luck with the weigh-in!!
    Holly: 6 kids, new pets, how do you do it??

    Don’t you wish weight loss was contagious? I hope all the weight you guys have been loosing rubs on to me before weigh in day (sat)!.
    I’ve been looking at this weight loss magazine and read an article about IBS; it says that some people get IBS from dieting. Looking back at my pre-diet days I’m starting to believe that it’s true because I’ve been noticing some of the symptoms associated with IBS that I started getting since I started dieting. Did anyone experience something like this?
  • Good morning,
    My walk last night was great! I needed it to clear my head.
    I have my workout bag ready for a lunch time workout because I'm going to the movies tonight with the Chickies. We are going to see Failure to Launch.

    I can't keep skipping workouts; I want to make time for them so I am.

    Debbie: I'm so happy to see you back on track. I'm getting there.
    Charlie: I am a beach lover too!
    Jiggly: I don't know that much about IBS but I do know that if you are eating my veggie and fiber you might need more water to move things through.
    Holly: I see how busy you always are. How are you doing with your weight loss this week?

    Ok...I've got to work.
  • Good morning all! We had a vuer busy weekend, and the weather is getting nicer~when it was not raining! It seems like it rained all day sunday and through the night. It is still raining now, but hopefully things will clear up soon. I love the spring, but hate the rain. Will have to find one more thing the firls can do inside today. ((Hugs)) HAve to run!
  • Hello Ladies.........

    What a weekend, spent Sat in ER. Son broke index finger on left hand (he is a righty). It is broke completely, at an angle, looks awful. Doc in ER couldn't set it as it is so bad. He goes to a hand surgeon today to schedule surgery. Yikes. Might know, just got the last doc bills caught up. lol. Only working till 1:30 today to take him.

    Eating has improved, SLIGHTLY, still no exercise. Joined WW here at work last Friday, the first WI to get started, however, is not till 4/7. Get a good start till then, or pig out till then? lol. I am trying to be good.

    Gotta get groovin. Short day.

    (((HUGS)))

  • I brought home an extra kid from storytime to play, giggle.

    Getting ready for school council meeting tonight.

    My weight is odd. I am taking a homeopathic treatment for my immune system and stress and it causes fluid levels to fluctuate. I was down 2, up 8 and back down 6 last week. The Doc told me not to weigh myself for a month but i am feeling fat and squishy.

    The upside is that I am healthier and not as unable to cope.

    Jiggly~ I really dont know how to do less. I HAVE stepped down a Sunday School Super and am not helping with our summer festival in town.
    Many of our choices as parents/a family create more hands on work than some do; but give us a fab family life.
  • Official weigh in today: 247 lbs, three lb gain since last time I weighed. But I'm okay. Goal is four lbs this week.
