hope everyone has a good day and lots of positive thoughts

Hello!
 

Hi guys,

Just checking in very quickly. I'm so busy here at work.

I'm doing pretty well, still not feeling 100%, but hanging in there.

I did spinning class again today and I'm feeling a bit tired. But hey, at least I did it!!!

Take care.

Lisa :carrot:

Hi ALL!!!!!! Well,I snuck onto the scale today!!!!!! I'm not telling the results till Monday...that's my weigh in day!

Isn't it funny how you feel motivated when you know someone else is dieting!! Like for me I have a girlfriend that is TRYING to lose weight,(but she doesn't think she has to change her eating habits)and I feel compelled to compeat with her anyway!Of course I support her and try and help as far as new recipies and such but she won't listen to me! She thinks that she can go out and have a few drinks and a pound of chicken wings once or twice a week and still manage to lose weight!NOT!!! Might work for some people but not for her!or me for that matter! I have to live on fruit and yogert! LOL!!!
Well,I'm going to jump on the bike for awhile...
Catch ya later!

Pretty quiet around here today! Guess we are all busy! Hopefully getting some exercise in!!! G'night!

Hey Wendy - may be night for you but it's morning for me:D I managed to get on my bike last night. I only did 35min as I had to take a bit of time in the middle and fix the handlebars!

I actually had work for most of the day yesterday but am really glad that today is Friday:dancer: It feels like this week has been 10 days long! I've even been sticking to SBD with only minor mistakes - had a vienna sausage yesterday :o and also some baby corn. Must say that I'm getting a bit tired of all the protein, but will stick it out for the next nine days. I think that after that I'll go back to counting points so that I don't eat too much

Sweet - sorry to hear about the bad night. I remember how touchy and p*ssed off I was in London when I'd had a bad night. I'm really not a nice person usually, but after a bad night my sarcasm reaches new heights:devil:

Lisa - glad you feeling better and wow on still going to spinning class:bravo:

Okay, more work has arrived so that will keep me busy for about 3 min and coffee is calling after :coffee:

Meg

Goodmorning ladies,

I am a bit frustrated this morning. I did not own a scale so I have been using the one at the gym. I decided to buy one last night and the it's reading 183!! The one at the gym was 181!! A 2lb difference. I decided to go with the weight on my own scale because that is the one I will be using. It just stinks that 2lbs I thought I lost I didn't. Oh well. Keep on going, keep on going..... Well going to have a busy day so, I wont be around again until tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good day.


Aila

Hi All! Aila,2 pound difference is nothing!! At the doctors office there is a 7 pound difference between his scale and mine!:?:

That SBD thing sounds real hard to stick to Megsa! Don't think I could do it ! Bravo!!!

How are you today Sweet Pea??Hope you got some sleep!

Better get my butt in gear,alot to do today!:D

Hello!
 

Hi guys,

Thanks Meg for the words of encouragement about spinning. Next week my goal is 4 times!!!! ;) I hope I can do it!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Take care.

Lisa :carrot: :carrot:

Sweet - sorry to hear your still having problems sleeping:( ...hope you find a cure fast...your going to wear yourself out..

hi all just popping in quickly before bed

went out today to the wine and food festival and danced to the band there. so that was good

Hi Ladies! Busy today but I thought I'd check in,have a great day!:hug:

Well I broke down and went to my ww meeting thins morning since I had to drive into the city to go to Safeway anyway and my little one needed a haircut. I was down 5 lbs from last time (which was three weeks ago) Not too bad since i really haven't been exercising!..

Well I'm off to make bread and finish cleaning my house. I'm having my familly over tomorrow for supper!

bye for now!

New Here!
 

Hello ladies! Well, I decided to check out your thread, knowing that you need a few new members. I have lost 26lbs since june and want to lose another 35lbs (to hit the 200lb mark) by the end of this year. I have 3 small children who are all the motivation I need to get the job done! I look forward to meeting you all and helping to keep the gang motivated as we lose those pounds together.

Cheers!
Cheryl

(looks like I need to work on a new signature since the board changed around)

:welcome3: cheryl

you've done really well with your weight loss. i've lost some but then i go mad and binge and it just jumps straight back on my hips grrr. right now finding it hard to eat properly the last couple of days but am doing my walking so that's something lol

Hey all! I'm off to bed so I thought I'd check in quick! Been real busy today so I haven't been around:(
Hi Cheryl!Welcome!!!:hug:
I'm going out for brunch tomorrow and I plan on being BAD!!:o I AM going to eat whatever I want tomorrow and NOT worry about cals.!!
Then Monday it will be back to the same old,same old!:)
Have a good day to some of you and a good sleep to the others:D
Ciao!
W.

:D Morning!

Thanks for the welcome ladies! Mmmmm...brunch sounds yummy! What I find lately is that some of the foods that I used to love just don't appeal to me anymore. I have gall bladder problems and I know that I have to stay away from certain foods if I don't want to have an attack.

Enjoy your sunday!

Well I ended up being a good girl!!! Ryan at all my sausages(4) so I had 1 egg and a piece of toast and coffee of course! Pretty good eater my boy! I think I better find me a millionaire to marry so I can afford to feed Ryan whan he is older! With his appetite I'm getting worried!:D
I'm taking the day off from exercise....I think.....maybe not:) I AM going to have a nap today though and go from there!
Catch ya later!
W.

Nighty night!:p

Cheryl - Welcome and congrats on your weightloss! I generally manage to lose about 400g (1lb) a week if I'm lucky, so I'll be at this for a long time to come.

Wendy - I've found this SBD thing remarkably easy. :eek: I'm not a major fruit eater, so cutting them out isn't too hard. I'm not too keen on eggs either so have been eating lots of yoghurt and cheese! I do miss my carrots and butternut, but I've only got another week to go and I should be able to hang in there. It has actually gone so much better than WW! :?: The major thing is that I've lost 1.7kg this week (about 3lbs) which is HUGE for me!!

I made some white bean muffins on sat and they are surprisingly good and don't go stale like others do!

Dgpebbles - My exercise bike got fixed last week but I've only been on it twice since then:o Last night 30min nearly killed me, so I'll be trying harder this week!

Sweet - Hope your well.

Must go and work now to actually earn the salary that will be paid tomorrow. We have a public holiday on Wed for our local elections, so won't be in then.

mwah

well done on weight loss meg!!

I heard today from the salsa dance instructor. She is starting new classes in 2 weeks time. she must be ambitious – she has 3 different classes starting on different days. I told her I’d done salsa but she reckoned there are different types of salsa and I wouldn’t have learned proper latin salsa. Who knows? So anyway I look forward to starting that

Did obedience class tonight with my dog. I want her to learn to walk better on a lead but also to be more confident with strange dogs. Off now to cook steak for dinner. Night all

Hello Everyone,

Welcome Cheryl!!! Today is my weigh in day and I lost another 3lbs!!! :jig: WOOOOOHOOOOO!!! I am so so stinkin happy!!! I love dancing but have never danced the salsa. I would love to learn how. I think the salsa is such a sexy dance. I dont have any family around here so that means we hardly ever have a sitter for the kids. So it is hard to be able to go out and dance, or do anything that isn't child friendly. Good job on not pigging out out at brunch Wendy that is awsome!!! I am not ready to be able to do that yet. If I went my diet would have been out the window. My son is a huge eater to. I am wondering how I am going to be able to keep food in the house once he gets a little older. :smug: Well I hope everyone is doing well and I will talk to you all later.

Aila

Hi guys!
 

Happy Monday! LOL!

I hope everyone is well. I'm doing great, have a pretty bad cold, but other than that, I'm fine.

I went away with my BF this weekend to a spa and had a wonderful time. It was so hard to come into work today, believe me.

I have no idea what my weight is, I'm going to weigh in next Saturday. I hope I do well this week!!

Take care.

Lisa :carrot:

Hello! Hello!!! Wow! I am so happy for you guys!!!
(I also lost 3lbs!!)

Hey Sweet Pea! We have what we call a liesure guide that come out with the paper quarterly and they have all sorts of activities from pottery to car maitenence and everything in between! Would you believe I am thinking of taking a salsa class too! Thank goodness there is one that doesn't need partners! I have to check out the prices but I'm really interested!:cool:

Lisa~ you got your boyfriend to go to the spa with you?! Wow, must be a good man!:D
Gotta go get some work done...c ya!

I love latin dancing. I used to date a spanish guy (100 years ago) and the dancing made up for the fact he was a jerk! he he eh

Good job on the breakfast Wendy! I have two boys 2 and 10 and they seem to take turns being huge eaters! food just flies out of my house it's really amazing!

Wendy was today your weigh-in day? how did that go?

Hi Susie! I lost 3 lbs and 2 inches!:D So far so good!


So me thinks we should start AFGF #16 tomorrow!! Wow! How exciting!! I'll get around to that later tonight.We are getting pretty full here!

Dinner time! Homemade chicken soup YUM!!

I forgot all about weigh in and it is t.o.m. so it's probably all distorted anyway.
congrats bigbootie and wendy on the weight loss :)

I checked out the distance I am walking. The most I have done is 2.8km which is exactly half of the walk I will be doing this weekend so I hope I can make it. I put myname down for a "fun" walk. If I find someone to walk with that will make it easier. Walking on your own can be discouraging. The other thing is I have to be there at 8am. I’m rarely compos mentis (or even awake) at that hour of the day so that will be a big challenge! Have to get up early have breakfast and go down there. Might even be earlier than that as we have to catch a bus to the starting point. Holy cow. I better start looking after myself, not just my exercise but early nights and better eating so I am in better shape to cope with this.

susie - i think a man who can dance is really sexy ;) i'd love a guy to dance with regularly. The salsa should be fun. I will be crossing my fingers there are lots of men there. Often there are more women and so we have to take turns to dance and stand out some of the time which is boring!

Lisa i'm thinking a spa sounds like a fine idea. tmrw i am going for a facial - it will be lovely!!!

Congrats Wendy and Bigbootie on your losses...Well I was only down .8lb but I think I'm retianing fluid and I've been working out with weights some this week...

Salsa dancing sounds like fun...I love to watch it

#16 is up and running!! See ya there!
W.
