Hello all!

I wanted to pop in and say hi! I am doing a 3-part 21-day challenge (no alcohol, 30 minutes exercise, and under 1500 calories each day) and right now can't think of anything to do for the week long challenge! I was going to do no chocolate, but with all my other restrictions I have to have my little square of dark chocolate as a treat (I have 1 square, and it is 26 calories). When I think of something, I will jump back in. I will definitely come up with something by next week's challenge.

I can't believe how close we are to the end of the year. Everyone is doing so great! Have a wonderful day!!!

Success: no eating after dinner last night, and drank lots of water.

So far today: on track with the eating (even tho. I did a big no-no and shopped while hungry--I bought a dark chocolate bar for DH--it is high in antioxidants, after all).

Nite 'all
 

HI Ladies - I am on track with my exercise - got up and did a 25 minute treadmill workout :carrot:

Sushi :welcome2: back! It's good to have you with us again. Great goals - we are here to support you.

Sandy - Hang in there! :strong: I agree with you this is a tough time. When tempted I try to imagine what I will look like by avoiding such temptations. Also try to remember that this time next year or even as soon as a near future holiday you will be able to enjoy those temptations in moderation.


1of3 - :cheer: for you and all those Wednesday steps!

Fishwoman - :congratultions - you are an awesome example for us one week at a timers!

Elanjel :cheer: for meeting your Wednesday goals!

Bonnie :cheer: :cheer: for Tuesday and Wednesday goals! You rock.

Have a great night.

Re: posting weight

I weighed 131 yesterday on the scale at my YMCA. It's about 3 lbs. above where I'd ideally like to be, but it's well within my WW goal. SO I'll plan to cut the points back to 24, up the exercise and check again next week Should make a difference.

Hi!:coffee2: :comp:Everybody this is a very good idea of reporting weight and see what the weight will be next week I would be weighing in tomorrow too:goodscale......... would definetly like to be in challenge...
yesterday did 35 mts of TAEBO did good on food and water. outside is 24 degrees dare not take my toddler out.......
so long girls:happ3::wave: back to my TAEBO I want to master it by next Thursday the whole 57 mts of it:crossed:.

Hi all!

I don't have anything to report for yesterday. My pedometer went on the blink and the one I bought to replace it will have to go back because it doesn't work either.

I didn't do any walking during breaks or lunch as I was away from the office at a luncheon that lasted 4 hours! This also caused me to not consume the water I normally would. :dz:

I walked at first break, but without a pedometer I don't know how many steps I took. Hopefully I will get everything resolved and be able to post numbers again next week.

Bonniebelle, I'll join your weekly weigh-in challenge. I better write myself a note to remember! So I will be able to report some kind of number!! :)

'K ladies, I don't feel great about this post, but I'll keep at it!

LardButt reporting for duty. :lol: I'm still out of town, but decided I couldn't live without contact so brought the laptop I've had almost no time to use... This will be another short post.

Sushi, good to see you back on line! It's so weird when people suddenly disappear, and so nice when they equally suddenly return to the fold. :hug: :hug:

Progress so far: I started this week's goal this Tuesday, and on Tues and yesterday I pulled off the no-white-flour challenge against all odds. Today, so far so good. I got in my 5000 steps yesterday, but not Tuesday. By the time I got into town and into my hotel room, it was time for the Biggest Loser, and then time to sleep. I won't post more now: gotta go out to look for some non-white-flour food and walk those steps and then back to work.

Catch y'all later. :wave:

Hello! I have decided that since I can't seem to STOP EATING I will just stick to my 21 day challenge for now. I would say I'll try again on Monday, but next week is Thanksgiving and there's just no way.....so hopefully I'll see you all the Monday after Thanksgiving! Thanks, and good luck to all of you!

Bonnie, next week I'll add myself to the Thursday weigh-ins. Right now I don't have access to a scale. :shrug:

Today was a sh***y day, but you guys are lucky: I already unloaded on the other thread. Be glad, be very glad. ;)

About 7000 steps today, and still no white flour that I know of. I felt a little silly at breakfast (provided as part of the conference) taking my egg benedict off the muffin and scraping off the sauce, which didn't leave much. I confess adding a few home fries did make it better... I think next week it'll be fried foods that bite the dust. Home fries are not necessary in this life, just a bad (and fairly new) habit.

Keep smiling all! :D

Night All
 

Hi Ladies - What a great idea Bonnie has for a Christmas Challenge! My goal is to increase my challenges every week until Christmas and lose 10 lbs!

Today I finally lost the 10 lbs I gained when I went to Houston! I am back to 232! I overslept and didn't have enough time for my treadmill workout but I did 60 girlie pushups and 100 crunches. Also got in 64 oz of water :cb:

Elanjel :cb: what would I give to be 151 let alone 131. As a matter of fact I would be a rail at that weight. How tall are you? Did you lose all your weight with weight watchers?

Bonnie :cheer: for today's goals and :bravo: for inspiring us all to get on the Christmas bandwagon.

1of3 :cb: hang in there - you are doing great - This challenge will help us all make our weekly goals count for something.

Apple - we'll be here when you get back!

Carla :cheer: for making your white flour challenge - I did no white processed food for 3 weeks when I was reading High Voltage's book "Energy Up!" and lost 18 lbs!

Sandy :cheer: you are awesome - Tae Bo your way to a better, healthier body. Mmmm perhaps I should break out my Billy Blanks tape too!

Have a great Friday ladies!
