Hi mscat816:thanks:for the websites will surely go to them now.
bye girls c u all tomorrow.

Hi Stacy!! :wave:

Congrats on your 2nd day down! Today I had a Slimfast Optima French Vanilla Shake and an English muffin with canola-based, trans-fat free margarine. AND I lost some of my weight!

You're welcome for the :welcome:

Just checking in to say hi back this morning, Bonnie, and to note that my weight came back down a little bit this morning. Back to 170.5 now! Yes, praise the Weight-Loss Gods! :) I'm supposed to be on 1300 calories, but until the kitchen gets finished, I'm probably going to stay high of that. (TV diners vs.cooking dinner).

I MUST START TO EXCERCISE! So far, today, I've walked 1211 steps!

You have a good day too and thanks for pulling for me!

Casper

Hi sandybhat! :wave:

I stepped on the scale last night and then again this morning and I am doing it again! I lost some of it again! back to 170.5! I'm drinking water as I post! And I'm on OP for breakfast! Thanks. Yes my fabulous shopping with my mom was excatly sooooooooo fun! :) I plan to stay OP so I can feel fabulous in my new fabuolus outfits! I'm sure that you will look stunning in your dress for your birthday! BTW, you are not too harsh. Isn't the pregnant looking stomach a drag! I'm 48! I need that abs video! I don't mind your :blah: :blah: :blah: , but mscat does, so I'm going to try journaling and we can talk there. Will let you know when I get it set up!

c u tommorow or sooner!

Casper

I'd sure love to join your group! I have a date with a couple of gals in the office to walk during our morning break starting tomorrow. Can I have this as a goal for the remainder of the week?

I've fallen into a frump the last couple of weeks and this may be just what I need to get a kick start and to be accountable.

Hi, Bonnie. :wave: Thanks for the welcome!

Looking forward to setting goals for myself and watching them be acheived. And belonging to a closeknit supportive group with lots of "atta girl's" to keep me accountable and motivated! :cloud9:

Hi ladies, just a quiet hello from a temporary lurker... I'll get back to posting and challenging and all next week when my nose is no longer out of joint (joke intended - tomorrow the bandages come off and I get to BLOW MY NOSE at last). The little splint fell off last night, and I've whacked the poor tender proboscis I don't know how many times since. Could it be the surgeon actually made it longer? Is that why I keep bumping it? No extension was required, it's not one of those cute button jobs that can't get attention... Maybe the guy is a sadist? But I digress.

Bonnie, any news of your brother?

Mscat, my new Gazelle finally arrived today, and I think it will be part of my next week's challenge. Once I put it together, of course.

Keep on challenging!

3rd day down. Yay me! I had protein yogurt and an apple.

Good job everyone! This group really works!

Catching Up!
 

Hi Ladies! I have been catching up on all the posts and all of you are doing an awesome job of keeping up with your challenges. It makes me feel so inspired and determined not to let you down.

Tuesday I didn't get my workout in - but I did workout Monday and Wednesday :cb: :cb:

1of3wishes :welcome2: to our group. We are committed to supporting you to be in action! What a great goal - let us know how many days you are committing to this week and we will cheer you on.

Bonnie :cp: :cp: for 2 days of goals! And as far as falling off the wagon - You know we ALL do that. Just get back on and don't beat yourself up! Congrats on your weight loss :woo: :woo: Prayers and hugs for you - I am sure your brother will appreciate those photos.

carla - I am so jealous over your gazelle. I want one but my DH will beat me ;) if I buy another piece of exercise equipment to collect dust. I believe I would really use that one. Looking forward to hearing how your doing with your new toy next week. Glad you are feeling better. Thank you so much for your message - I tried to pm you back but your mailbox was full.

stacy :cp: :cp: :cp: for 3 days of goal making. You are an awesome addition to our group! You put me to shame. You are leading the pack in getting the next 7 day award.

Fishwoman - Don't worry about the one day - just shoot for whatever you can for the rest of the week. I missed a day of exercise but I am going to strive for at least 5 this week - any days you make your goal this week is better than not striving to acheive any. Think of goal achievement as a muscle - exercise and stretch it whenever you can and it will become stronger and easier to maintain!

Thinking about Bonnie's dilemma which I am sure we all face - consider the following:

Whenever we are challenged by a special meal occasion we llisten to that little voice in our heads that says "Oh well, I blew it for the day." When that happens we have 2 choices. The first is to accept that it happened, leave it where it belongs (in the past) and move on. The second is to remember that we have the opportunity to recreate our future "right now". So what you ate at lunch is what you ate at lunch. That has nothing to do with the "right now" moment When you have to eat again. Because every moment in life you have the opporturnity to do make a different choice "right now." Not preaching - because I do it too. Just consider a new way of saying "thanks for sharing" to that little voice in your head and not allowing that voice to dictate your decisions for the rest of the day. You are in control of what you do "right now" - not the voice in your head, or the meal that is past!

Have a great Thursday everyone!

mscat-
All that we have is right now.
Yesterday is gone, Tomorrow is not promised, and Someday is not a day of the week!

Hi! Everybody, My goal this week is of water intake and eating sensibly and writing everything down. Then in the night I put them in calorie counter at mypyramid.gov website and I am not getting some awsome results my calories r always exceeding the required limits still 2 days to go......got to loose now..........

Hi all! I don't know about you but my color choice of purple is not working today on the website. Neither are my Smiles! Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that I stayed OP yesterday, until I fell alseep! I didn't get to eat my 3rd snack, so I'll eat it this morning for my 1st snack!

I manage to get back down to 169.5! Yeah! And I walked ~2589 steps, just here around the house!

My DH has already gotten me offP today - he went to McDonald's for breakfast - got me an egg McMuffin......... Oh well, it's dreary and drizzly again, today so I might not even go out to get my daily recipes food. We'll see.

Casper

Mscat, have some kudos on us. You got out of bed! You are our hero!

(Okay, I'll crawl back into my box now and shut up. I really wasn't being sarcastic. It's my birthday so I can be silly if I want. :crazy: )
