Let me start by saying WELCOME Michelle. We are always happy to get new people on board with us.
Well, today is Monday and time to pick new goals for the week, post your new weight, and let us know how you did this past week with your goals.
I will be posting my weight after my weigh in at WW tonight. As for everything else, I did 3 workouts this week plus the extra 15 minutes, drank all of my water and stayed off the scale. I also did pretty good with Thanksgiving dinner. Stayed within my point range for the day (although my food choices weren't the greatest, I still stayed within my points). I also sent all the leftovers, except for some turkey, home with my family.
So all in all, I had a pretty good week. We will see how the scale looks tonight though.
So for everyone who is new, please post your goals for the week. Try to stay away from having a pounds related goal. No saying that you will lose 3 pounds this week. Try to give a goal that you can stick with but might be a harder thing for you to do. Some people have a hard time drinking all their water. Some people only get 2 exercise days in a week, so they might say their goals is to get 3 or 4 in.
My goals this week......To continue to drink my water, do 4 workouts, and to stay away from eating after 10 pm. I know that sounds late for most but I work at night till midnight so for me 10 is a good time.
I will be back later tonight to post my weight, after my WW meeting. Since my husband hid the scale I can't do it at home anymore.
Still waiting for all of the other people to come back from either vacation or hiding.
Hello Lisa and Lori...And morning to everyone else
Since I'm just starting out again on getting on the right track...My goals is to walk at least 5miles this week..Unfortanley have to start out slow..Also I'm going to my first ww meeting and start that on weds..Would start sooner but have to work ... But hey at least it better than never... I also am going to try not to have any soda..Hopefully i can make it...
Hello Beauties, old and new. I'm back from the trip that covered NY and PA. I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Lori, to think you thought I was hiding. Tsk, tsk. For crying out loud, I admitted to the Hershey bar didn't I? I had hoped to post more but my brother's computer was not in working order.
It Monday, time for goals and achievements. For me...I laughed so hard this morning. I'm down 2 pounds but I have no idea how! LOL! I'm so proud to read you all did well faced with the Thanksgiving feast. I didn't do so badly for dinner it was the rest of the time that I had trouble with. Anyway, I'm aiming to get back to work now. My goals are to exercise 4 times this week, 2 being at Curves and to drink 64oz. of water for at least 5 days. I think this was my goal last week, but I need to re-do.
Now for ya'll. The Sarge is back and I'm taking names. Lisa, STAY OFF OF THE STINKIN' SCALE!!! I don't care if you think it doesn't bother you. You don't fool me with that crap. It does bother you or you wouldn't be on it everyday. Don't give the "stupid metal box" that much power over you. Get someone to hide it and don't step on it until Monday mornings. That's an order! Do you know how silly you'd look running around trying to find it? As Lori said, that thought has worked for her. I'm so proud of her for not looking for all this time. Lori, can you believe it? You sound like you're doing really well. Way to keep it up. I can't wait to hear how you make out tonight. Kathy, good job with no leftovers. I also agree to a new thread name. I'll get that up and going and PM everyone so they know where to find us. Give me at least a day. Alysia, welcome. I'm sorry to hear about your one sister but glad you have the support of your other. Stick with us. You'll get a ton of support here. I think half of my unit went AWOL. I guess I'll have to send out a missing persons party.
I'll close with a new requirement for you all. If you don't already do this, I want you to start this week. Write your goals on a peice of paper. Keep them posted where you can see them frequently (fridge, computer, etc.). It will help keep you focused and will also help remind you if you're mind starts slipping. Good luck to you all.
I forgot to say welcome to Michelle. Your goal of walking 5 miles is good. But I've been down that road before regarding the soda. Either run with the big dogs or stay on the porch. That's good you want to try and cut back but is it a goal? If it is, just be like Nike and just do it.
Did Lori explain how rough I am? LOL. I'm the resident butt-kicker. She's much more tactful. Seriously, I think you will try harder if you commit to a goal rather than saying "I'll try." But if that works for you now, so be it. I'm glad you're here. Please don't let me scare you away. We're here to help. Good luck with WW. And there are no "slow" starts when you're going forward.
Welcome back Sarge,
I knew you werent hiding, but I think a few are. But I am glad your back, and very glad you had a good time visiting.
Everyone else, Sarge (Rebecca) is a great motivator!!! She really isn't as scary as she sounds . Don't let her scare you off. She really is nice. Although just like I did this week she will issue extra goals during the week so be prepaired, and .
Ok well its time for me to get moving and I will definitly be back tonight.
Have a healthy day.
TTFN
Lori
WAY TO GO and CONGRATS on your loss Sarge. It was a tough week to get through with it being Thanksgiving, but you did it and lost 2 pounds. Now thats inspiration. Keep up the great work. AND NO MORE CANDY BARS
Again, congrats.
TTFN,
Lori
Welcome Michelle! And anyone else that I've missed. Hello all!
Well we know how I did last week But so far this week has started off great. Been busy decorating for Christmas. Love Christmas!
My goals for this week are to stay with in my WW points and drink water.
How do you get your water in during the winter? I only drink water. Nothing else, but in the winter I'm so cold I don't want any and hot water doesn't sound good. So any suggestion?
Will you Sarge's suggestion and post notes around, any others?
Also about suggestions for cooking Chicken and Fish, I'm a lousy cook, hate it. I usually just sprinkle Mrs. Dash on it and stick it in the oven. If anyone knows a low-cal. Marinade or something different I can do. I really would appreciate them sharing with me. You can PM me.
first off..welcome michelle. I just joined this saturday and already feel at home!!! We are close in age!!! My birthday is this saturday and I will be 26!!! And I saw numbers I never that Was possible for me. I saw270at the doctor 2 weeks ago and I was diagnosed with PCOS. I started eating better. I am following the Glycemic Diet. (which is good for my PCOS). So Welcome and I look forward to getting to knwo you better. What part of CA are you from and what line of work are you in?
Ok Ladies.....I am so proud of myself!!! First off I weighed in this morning at 265. I had an active day at work (I work with special needs children) then I went to my moms to see if she would walk with me but she couldnt. But in her kitchen was a strawberry cake with strawberry frosting! One of my favs!! I did take a bite not even a snitch! Then I got home and walked to walmart and back (2 miles roundtrip)!!!! I still cant believe it!! lol
My goals this week are to get at least 3 workouts in (I am already down one!!!) And try to drink more water. I hear everyone talking about water. How much do you try to drink in a day?
Sarge- Well, I guess you told me! Yes maam! I will stay off the scale! You're right, it does hold entirely too much power over me. I really obsess about my weight sometimes. I've gotten better since I'm with someone who likes my "voluptous" figure. Actually, I'm going to tell my boyfriend to hide it when I go to the store when I'm done here. Even though he'll think I'm nuts. And congrats on your loss! I hope you had a great holiday! (And don't worry, you don't scare me )
Brittney- I'm very proud of you for resisting the cake! I, on the other hand, didn't do so well today. I had 7, count them- 7, fun sized twix bars today for breakfast. Go ahead girls, lay it on me.... I got a little frustrated this morning. You'll see why in a moment. On the good side, I had a salad for lunch, all my water, a healthy snack and I ran for 35 minutes at lunch. I haven't had dinner yet.
Alysia- I will get you those recipes asap. They're easy. My weekdays are crazy, but I'll try to get you at least one or two tonight or tomorrow.
Now for the weigh in this morning- I GAINED BACK THOSE FRIGGIN TWO POUNDS!
Lisa

Good evening Beauties! I want to say "Welcome" to the newbies, so good to come back and "see" new faces!!! Sorry I haven't been around in a few days. Hubby ended up with a few days off and we skipped town!! Good to see everyone doing well! I'm happy to report that I lost 1.5 lbs!! Probably the first time in my life I have lost weight over a holiday!!
I'm with you Lisa, I have the hardest time staying off the scale. I will have to have my hubby hide it while I'm gone tomorrow! Now-Stay away from the candy!!!!!!
Lori, I did have a great visit with my daughter and miss her already. Good news though-she is thinking about moving back!!

Hello everyone,
I trust everyone is behaving so far today? I havn't even had breakfast yet so I am behaving so far. Sorry I didn't post last night but when I got home from my meeting my little one just wanted to be on my lap or follow me every where I went, so sitting at the computer was just not happening last night. However, I do have good news....I am down another 2 pounds.
As for all of you....
Brittney--Way to go with the loss and Great job with not eating that cake. Sweets are always my weakness, so I know how hard it is to NOT eat it. As far as water goes, I drink at least 8 glasses a day, but usually get about 10 to 12 glasses in. I carry a bottle of water with me every where I go.
Lisa-- Don't worry to much about those 2 pounds. THe way I see it is you started the week off with them and they are still there, so you DIDN"T GAIN anything this week. You stayed the same and that is great. Those 2 pounds will go away in no time, AS LONG AS YOU DON"T EAT CANDY FOR BREAKFAST (or any other meal) ANYMORE.
Kathy--CONGRATS, on your 1.5 pound loss. Always a great acheivment with the holidays around. Glad to hear you had a good time with your daughter. Sorry you miss her already, but its great news that she might be moving back.
Michelle-- Hope you feel better soon. Getting a cold around this time of the year is terrible. Also hope that your parents get better soon too. Sorry to hear they are sick.
Well I am about to go get my breakfast and then a workout. I can do this, you can do this, WE ALL CAN DO THIS...TOGETHER
Have I told you all lately that I am thankful to have found this group. I really enjoy comming on here and talking with such great people. Keeps me motivated to tell you all that I did good for the day or week. Thanks
Well, my sister & hubby went back to Fla. All we did was eat out. I held my breath & got on the scales on Mon. Only 1/2 lb gained. Whew!
My Brother-in-Law gained 10lbs. They will be back to a strict diet as my sister is on chemo & homeopathic meds. My BIL & I made a pact to lose at least 40lb by next June when they come back for the family reunion.
Hi everyone - hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
Lori - nice job on the 2# loss - that is great!
Oldwriter - That little gain you had could have been a lot worse especially eating out all the time - so I think you still did very well & good for you for getting back on track.
All you people - keep up the good work!
My goal for this week is to stay OP and have healthier snacks & keep within my points target for the day.
Monday Morning
... But hey at least it better than never... I also am going to try not to have any soda..Hopefully i can make it...
I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Lori, to think you thought I was hiding. Tsk, tsk. For crying out loud, I admitted to the Hershey bar didn't I?

I'm not happy
