Well come on Girls :carrot: I have posted my points for today as my day in just about over, it’s 9.30pm and I have been up since 5.00am so its bed time for me. Good luck:dust: for all from Butter ball no more

Here we go!! I'm pretty excited about this challenge. Thanks for getting all the threads and stickies going Wendy, I hope everyone finds their way here.

I already ate a piece of chocolate today:o (UGH) but I'm planning on a better plan for the rest of the day.:cheers:

Good morning all. I'm off to a good start with 45 min. of cardio down. I'm excited to be in this challenge. I know I'll need some support along the way, but this looks like a good place to get that. THANKS Wendy!! Sure am glad you took the time to get us motivated.

Thanks Wendy for putting this all together. I know this is what I need to motivate me more towards my goal. It's only 9:44 in the am. One meal down, 2 to go.

One question: where are we weight and measurements? Is it in the thread where we post our daily points??? Help!

Good luck ladies!!!

Well, I'm sitting here eating a healthy lunch and chugging down my water. WAHOO!!!

I'll put in my points at the end of today and I weigh in on Saturdays so I'll just use that weigh in to post on Mondays.

I hope you are all having a "point-filled" day!! ;)

I see I have some stiff competition with my own group!!!! Fabulous!!!
So far I have to beat 7.5 points!!!

Just here munching on an apple. Where is everybody??? I've got 4 points so far (2 healthy meals, 2 healthy snacks, 1/2 gallon of water). And it's only 3:45pm.

It sure helps that I'm postin' all of this down. So I suggest y'all do the same.

Hi there
 

Hi girls,

9 points today yeah. Forgot to post 0.5 point for 1 liter water. This is such a great challenge/game. Thanks Wendy http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/7726/thanks95qd.gif
I'm on WW and had a great OP day with 2x exercise. Now it's raining here in Israel. It's ok. Winter is like a few rainy days and then sunshine again. Need to get boys to bed - really late.
Do you all know each other? Is there a place where you have your bios??
Have a great day - bedtime here!

A very :flow2: bright and beautiful morning to all you lovely Btb members.
The first day down:high: (and it was great thanks to You Wendy for all your hard work and perseverance) and the second is now under way. I was woken this morning by my darling Hubby with a beautiful bunch of flowers:flow1: a Kiss:val2: , coffee (made with skim milk)and a very beautiful card ,So I would say you can’t start a day off much better than that.
Happy Valentines Day :val1: to all and may Love:love: and friendship :hug: :grouphug: always surround you
Karen

I'm having a hard time posting today,I'll try later! I'm at 5 points!

Awesome job today ladies - I'm a little disappointed in myself here on day one so I'm vowing right now to get more points tomorrow!!!
~ Sandra

Great job ladies!! I hope I can keep up with you! :)

Anyone else doing WW and/or Curves? I'm doing both and loving it!! I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but I love to exercise!! :) I would never have believed it a month ago.

Well good luck to all tomorrow!!

artsy :)

Well ladies, we all seem to have had a great start ... long may it continue!

I had a great day yesterday and am on plan for a pretty good day today too ... just one little blip ... I work in a primary school and today one of the little kiddies brought in some Valentine's Day heart cookies that he had made for everyone ... How can you say no thanks to a six year old? ... So I ate it! Have counted the calories in for today though so hopefully it won't do any damage:^:

Have another great day everyone!

Nichola

I don't think 1 cookie is going to hurt!!!;) It is valentines day after all!!



GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!! I"M PROUD OF ALL OF YOU!!



Till tomorrow,(today)
Wendy

Nichola
how could anyone say no to a six year old with heart shaped cookies, made with LOVE

Wow!!! Everyone has been doing awesome. Keep it up!!!

Today is going to be tough. Thai food for dinner (mmm, i love thai food!!!) All I have to think about is portion control. (mind over matter lol)

Let's hope I rack up some more points today. I'm in last place within my own team!!!!! That's not good for the ego!

Rosario ~
Don't worry, you're not in last place...I only had 4 1/5 points!!! Waaaaa. BUT, I'm going to get more points today so watch out. Hee hee!!

Have a great day ladies, I'll post my points later.

Yesterday
 

Hi all just wanted to get in on the chat. I didn't get on here yesterday because I was crabie. I just wanted to eat anything but I didn't which was really good and I was tired went to sleep early last night. I am feeling much better today. I plan on getting some exercise in today to get my points up. I will check in later to see what everyone is been up too.

Valentine's Day
 

Hi girls,
Sounds like we're all doing great.
Just wanted to say http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/1...mousevi1zd.gif
Need to run. Going to my youngest basket game. Oooof raining here.

Hugs http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/5...046liel0in.gif

Is this group new?? If yes then let's introduce ourselves?!

Hi All!!! Happy Valentines day to ya!!!

I think we have to set the meals to a maximum of 3 a day. I realize that some of us eat 5-6 smaller meals a day but to make it fair to everyone this is how it has to be:^: Please edit your posted to make the corrections and really sorry for the inconveniance.

Today has been a busy day and is going to get alot busier for me so I won't be around much this afternoon,take care and have fun!!

Again,great job everyone!! Whoo hoo!!:carrot:
Wendy

Ahh! It's already 4:30 and I only have 2.5 points. This is not good. Looks like you'll beat me this time Sandra. lol

Guess I better go home and jump on that treadmill. Hope everyone is having an awesome V-day and hope everyone's diets and fitness plans are going better than mine. I'll be back tomorrow. ta-ta!

Rosario

P.S. what's goin on with the DYP ladies. I haven't seen em around. Looks like they got scared!!!lol

I think we did scare them off!! HAHAHA!!!!
W.

Hey, guys!! I just wanted to check in. Everyone's doing so great!! I'm proud of us all! I'm at 3pts so far....Still have to go exercise and still have to eat dinner. I think this is going to be a good day :) yay!!

Hi ladies~
I never made it to the gym this morning so I'm thinking maybe a family walk after dinner. It's pretty darn cold out there but it certainly won't kill us. I really want to do some form of exercise so I can get some points!!!

DH and I are making a new recipe tonight, low fat, high fiber so we'll see how that goes...wish us luck!! He doesn't need to lose weight but he's all into eating healthy so that makes it easier on me. It's a stir fry pork with snow peas in a citrus soy sauce. Mmmm.

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day ladies!! :hug:
~ Sandra

HI GIRLS!!!! I think I lit a fire under one of the DYP"ERS arse!! She's not to impressed with me!!:D :D :D :D :D Oh well! I'm having fun with it! Turns out she doesn't think I'm funny! I think I am, and that is what counts!!

Points are not so great today,I've been really busy! I am at 5 so far,have to get some exercise in though!
Catch ya later!
W.

Hey everyone!
I did great today considering the holiday :D Need to go update my points... I think I'm already for bed! ZZzzzz
Did an awesome 30 minutes on the treadmill and to get my extra point for 40 minutes did arms with weights and crunches! LOL so there.
G'night! :wave:

Hi Girls,

Doing fairly well today, although I did succumb to an incy wincy slice of cheesecake in the staff room at work ... it was someone's birthday and they'd brought in homemade cheesecake!!:mad: Unfortunately, this happens far too often, it's ALWAYS someone's birthday and they ALWAYS bring in goodies! I really do need to try to keep my willpower in check (what willpower?!).

Hubby is away for a few days so I get to do most of the dog walking ... my teenage kids do nothing but complain if I ask them to take her out, so I guess that's good for me ... lots of walking over the next few days!:dancer: ... we really do need a 'walking' smilie, that's the closest one I could find.:)

Nichola

:D G'night all! It's 1:20am here and I'm beat!See ya tomorrow!
Good job ladies! Whoo hoo!
Wendy

Morning everyone,
I have been busy the past 2 days. My points are on the low side, but at least I'm doing something. My sis thew out her back and can barely walk, so I've been helping out more with her kids. Today is my spinning class. I don't think 3 pts. could be harder to earn :dizzy: but I actually love the feeling of completing such a great workout.
I made it through Valentines day with a healthy dinner at home with my hubby. I mixed up SF Chocolate Pudding with some FF Cool Whip, then put a layer of FF Cool Whip mixed with Raspberries on top and finished it off with a sprinkling of raspberries. It turned out yummy and I didn't even feel bad for eating it!! :o Everyone is doing great. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Good Morning Ladies ~
OMG Nichola ~ I'm with you about the work/food issue, always, always, always good tasting/bad for you food around work!!!! Ugh.

You all know I'm a part time nurse, right? Well, I usually work day shift and when the schedule came out this last time it had some evening shifts on it which have really screwed me up. I'm sooo tired. I get home at midnight, can't go right to sleep so that happens about 2am and have to get up at 7am with DD for school. I end up skipping my morning workout cuz I feel too crappy. Waaaa!!! I have to figure this out because it's bumming me out. Hopefully, I won't get too many evening shifts next schedule and I'll get back on track.

Anyway, off to drink lots of water and work on that portion control. Have a great day ladies!
~ Sandra

Good morning to all!!!

Ugh!! I've been doing so horrible with my points. THe water points are easy, the healthy points are getting easier, but the excercise ones...what a pain!!! I'm supposed to work out when I get home from work, but I've been sooo tired lately. I just haven't got the strength or energy to go to the gym (or at least work out at home).

But today is a new day, and I am determined to get in at least half an hour on the treadmill. Good luck to me!:carrot:

Glad all of you are doing better than me. Keep it up because you are motivating me!!!!

Good Morning...:wave: We are off to such a great start!!! I was having some major dental problems the last few days but all is better now and soooo....here's to a fresh beginning with no more soft mushy foods!!!(:nono:comfort carbs:devil:) The sun is shining and time to get out and enjoy the day.....have a good one!

Hi Girls! Another busy day today so I won't be around much,But i promise to check in at least ince this afternoon!
You are all doing so well!!!!!
W.:D

Thanks Wendy!
 

Hello Everyone, you're all doing very well. Keep up the good work!

Wendy, Thank you so much for starting this game! I have exercised more the last 2 days than I have the whole month! It's just what I needed to get me going again.:)
