Woo Hoo Michelle!!!! I notice your weight lose chick says "20 Pounds". I remember when you changed it to 10. Way to go. I am also glad to see that there is one more of us still out there.

Just checking in and noticed no one is home!!! I am doing really good with my new workout. I am on day 5 and still enjoying it. Saturday is my day of rest for the week. Hope all is ok with everyone. Have a great day.

Hey Michelle and Jaime!!!!

Great job with the workouts Jaime!! I really need to work on that area. I had my WI today and only lost a pound. But I guess that was pretty good since my birthday was last weekend. And you know how birthdays go. Although I did really well on the big day, it was the week leading up to it that messed me up. I was not very happy to turn 40 to say the least.

Michelle, glad to see the scale is moving for you again. I agree with you it can get discouraging when you seem to be at a stand still. But you just have to keep plugging away. Keep it up!!!

I just completely fell off the wagon yesterday- chips, ice cream, chocolate and all. I don't know what was wrong with me because it was never those foods that were my downfall in the first place. It was always the regular food that got me. To make things worse, I didn't end up working out yesterday either. Today I am determined to write yesterday off as a bad day and get back on track.

Hi Paige and Michelle -

Michelle I to had a bad day yesterday. I had taco salad for lunch and Pizza for dinner then skipped my work out. I only had one day a week that I don't work out so I guess yesterday was it!! Today I am back on track. I hope all is going well for you both this beautiful Friday. I don't know how the weather is for either of you but it is great here and is suppose to be nice all weekend. Hope it is the same for you both. I will not be able to post until Monday morning. Have a great weekend.

I hope you are both back on track now. Isn't it scary just how fast one can fall off the wagon. Once I start the whole day is shot. The weather has been beautiful, I just hope it last through the weekend.

Enjoy!
Paige

The sun is shining right now, but I have some bridesmaid necklaces I need to get made for an order. Oh well, maybe I'll make them tonight and enjoy the sunshine during the day instead

Hello Gals - I had an ok weekend except for drinking Beer. The worst thing I could have done. I did really good eating but oh well back on track. I am hoping it did not do to much damage. It was a beautiful weekend. Had a family BBQ yesterday and did not eat anything I shouldn't. That was really hard with all the family special casseroles and desserts. Everyone thought I did not feel good or something. I normally would have had a couple plates of bad things but I stuck to my guns and did not have anything. It felt pretty good. Hope you had a great weekend too. Need to get to work so I'll check in later.

I am guessing that no one is left on this thread. I have been checking in daily and no one has posted. I hope you all are doing well.

Peace!!!

I think it must be a nice weather thing. The Moms Losing Weight group I'm in used to have 2 pages of posts every day so they started a new thread each day. Right now there is one thread posted for the entire month, and I don't think anyone has posted to it in several days.

I haven't posted since I'm still on an insane eating kick. I think the only thing keeping me from ballooning to 10 times my current size is that I've continued to exercise in spite of it.

I read recently that when you start lifting weights, it makes you much hungrier. Maybe that's it, but I think it's more craving from TOM than anything.

I too am eating more since adding weights to my routine. You need to eat more when lifting. I am just trying to be careful of what I eat and the portion size. I have starting using the smaller plates and my main portion is no larger than my palm of hand. I seem to be doing ok with that. I am craving sweets right now though and can not find anything to satisfy that. Well I hope you are doing well Michelle and keep up the great work exercising.

I haven't worked out in a couple of days, unfortunately. The day before yesterday, I had pulled a thigh muscle so I just gave it a rest. Yesterday I was ready to workout when my daughter came home from school. First she wanted to talk to me about things, then I was checking her homework, and then I got a couple of phone calls. After all of that, I decided it obviously wasn't meant to be

I'm going to make a serious effort to be back on track with eating and exercising again today. I've been pretty lax and stopped counting calories (mainly because I know I don't want to know). I didn't even weigh myself today since I don't think the scale can continue to ignore my week long eating binge. On the positive side, I have been taking measurements so even when I'm not losing weight, I know I've lost several inches over the past couple of months (didn't figure out an exact number, but oh well.)

Hey I'm new.... I just joined and I'm looking for support...I really need to lose some weight, and keep it off this time. I'm 29 years old and I'm a mom to 3 cuties. I haven't been able to shed the pounds from my last pregnancy and He's 1 year old now!!! I'm hoping that getting involved in some groups will help keep me motivated.

Kathy- if it makes you feel better, I haven't shed the weight from my last pregnancy, and she's a 7 year old

I bought a new outfit over the weekend- the first time I've done that since I started dieting two months ago. I bought the same style and same brand that I was already wearing, but it was 2 sizes smaller! The scale isn't moving lately, but something must be working.
