Welcome all newbies! Great to have you aboard :D I can't wait to weigh in tomorrow. I'm anxious to see how my extra-careful eating this week has paid off!

On a related note, yesterday I wore some pants that were very tight on me when I weighed 180 pounds.

Tight no more.

Thanks for the reminder Wendy! Ready to jump in and start kicking some ***! WOOT!

Wow Lydia! Congrats!

I love lollypops! I had the most horrific craving for sugar today. I was THIS close to eating a Twinky or some ice cream but I resisted. The craving went away then came back several times. Finally I went and begged my mama for one of her coveted suckers. She gave me one thank god and the craving FINALLY went away (for only 1 pt)! YES!

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

I had a great weekend. I did really good Saturday! Where is every one?

Who's ready to play!!!!!

Ok I am going to have my boob job this week on Wen. I may not be able to do lots of working out but I am going to keep my eating good!! So lets get going on this new game!

May I ask what you're having done? I was thinking of maybe getting a lift and reduction. My boobies are big and they already sag....lord knows how low they're going to be once I lose all the weight!

Hey everyone! I'm back and ready to be serious...again. I suck, I know. But all I can do is try try again right?? Anyway- I am going to weigh in the morning and see where I really am...I know I'm up a little bit. But that just means more points when I lose it, right?? LOL :D

LOL!! Welcome back Emily!!

Morning gals-nice to start a new game. I am ready to play and even though we are all winners, I'm out for the most points this week!!!!!!

emily-I love your new avatar!!!! How cool. I'm glad you're back at it.

La3y-Hope your boobies heal up quickly.

Lydia-You're fricking awesome!!! I'm so happy for you and your way to big jeans!

Shari-good job controlling your sugar craving. Those are the worst for me and I give in way to often.

Well, my run is up to 34 minutes this morning. It was a tad warm/humid, but nothing to terrible. It felt pretty good but I got a side stitch at about 20 minutes. I tried a pressure/breathing technique while I kept running and thankfully it went away. I'm running another 5K on the 19th. I am super excited.

I'm participating in the Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk this coming weekend. I'm on the route safety crew and will ride my bike along side the walkers and make sure they are safe at busy intersections and trails. I'm so looking forward to this. I did it last year, and walked the year previous and it is an amazing experience. I leave at 6 am on Thursday so I'll be away from the boards for a few days, but my exercise points will be sky high on those days!!!!!

Well, I have lots to get done today so I'm off. Have a great Monday!

Thanks so much Brandy!!! I do too....I dont want yall to get to far ahead of me on points....lol

Lydia.....GREAT JOB!!!!! YOU LOOK HOT!!!!!

emily...Jump right back in here....you can do this!

Hi everyone!!!

I'm excited for this new game. I hope it's just what I need to kick it up a notch!!!

Lydia-WOW!!

La3y-it's boob job time already? I hope everything goes well. Good Luck!!

Brandy-I have always wanted to do one of those. Atlanta is going to be having an AIDS walk soon. I soo want to try it. Maybe I'll follow in your footsteps!!!

Emily--welcome back. i hope you can stick with this game, as it does really help!! ( i need to get back into it too!!!)

Shari-:Welcome: that's great that you resisted your urges. you know what works too? jolly ranchers. I don;t know how many points they have, but if you are craving sugar, they sure hit the spot.

Bad, Bad weekend for me...so I'm on to good eating/water/excercise this week.

Come on gals, Let's make this the best game ever!!!!

See ya later!

Good morning ladies,
Here we go. Good luck to all for a fabulous week. I have already had almost 40oz of water. Not going to the gym today...too much to do here at the house but I can walk on my treadmill while the baby gets her nap later.

Happy Point Collecting--
Sherrie

WOW 40oz!!!! I got to get a move on this.....How old is the baby?

So far so good...I knew rejoining this game would be a good thing for me. I've already had 32 oz of water instead of my morning diet coke...
I weighed in at 225 on the dot- I have *got* to get to under 215 and stay there instead of messing around with the same pounds over and over again! lol
Anyway- feeling motivated, we can do it :)

Does bowling count as excercise????

I think anything other than sitting down should be counted! lol

Morning!! This is what I like to see!Day 1 of the game and already on page 2!Yippee!
Haven't done much yet today but I'll be working on it later on. Food is good though,usually is!
Have a great day!
Where are all our newbies???Better hunt them down:D

Hope everyone is out ther exercising!!!!!!!!

The baby, Maggie, is almost 15 months old. I have an 8 year old and a 6 year old. They are back in school today. I drink alot, so it might as well be water instead of the diet sodas. How is everyone else doing this afternoon.

Sherrie

Help clear up a little confusion---about the points. It says 2 points for every pound and inch lost. Is that 2 points for every pound and 2 points for every inch or just 2 points for every pound and inch together? I know I just futher confused myself..............lol. Maybe my brain is waterlogged already.

Thanks,
Sherrie

Where is everyone? Just here to say that I just finished my 64oz of water for my point----woohoo. Dont think I'll make it to another 64--gurgle. Had lunch on the run--that is my downfall usually. You ladies will have to keep me in line. I have my 20 year high school reunion in three weeks. I want to feel good about me. This contest will help a lot.

Sherrie

Sherrie I have a 10year old and a 7 year old.....I have had my frist 64oz and starting on my next 64....I will be waterloged by the time I go home today.....lol

As far a where is every one it gets slow durin the day....If you want to chat just pm me.....I am online most of the day.

It has taken awhile to post I have been finishing unpacking we moved the first of july and I still have boxes( just husbands junk and my books left now unti i get storage containers for my girls) . I went to the mother in laws yesterday so I was cleaning up after my daughter birthday party on saturday plus trying to catch up on housework today.Technicly i haven't worked out today yet but i haven't sat long. I am going to try to work out tonight if i do i will post..... I have had br. &lunch and 2 healthy snacks no water thought................so so far only 3 points

I do a at home workout. I walk on a tread mill and I swim alot....

Well it time for me to go home I will check in later...

I worked out at home today. I have some dumbbells and a treadmill. Mostly today I danced around to CMT in between doing my sets with the dumbbells--it was arms and chest day. Tomorrow is lower body day. I still may walk on the treadmill or go jump on the trampoline with my kiddos.

Sherrie

Hey Sherrie!
I have an 8 and almost 6 year old too. (As well as a 3 and almost 2 year old) I just noticed that we are close to the same weight and we must be close to the same age too- I just turned 37....my 20 reunion will be next year. Anyway- anytime you want to chat, just hollar! I am online a lot during the day too. My older kids still have another month before school starts again...will I survive?! LOL
Do you have boys or girls?

Hey ladies!! This is my first BTB Game and what an active group you have going here! I can't wait to get to know you all better. Just as a heads up I'm here and playing but am in the process of a move so won't be around regularly untill next weekend for sure! Take care!!

I hope everyone had a good day today. I did okay. My blood sugar level went WAY down around 8:30. I was shaking and stuff. Luckily, I saw my mama in on one of the floors while I was delivering a patient's tray and she gave me some money to get something and after I got off, I went to the canteen and brought packets of those snack crackers for the rest of the week. I forgot that I have to eat every three hours. I haven't been and I think that is why my weight loss has been non existant. That and the horrible eating. LOL

Hi everyone!! Thanks to a friend for leading me to this website. I am very new to this site and this game. I have a personal question to ask to anyone. If you happened to gain 2 lbs of the normal water weight due to TOM would you make it as a gain on your weight tracker? I gained 2 lbs water since yesterday and would hate to use that weight for the start of this game. What would you do?

I look foward to getting to know everyone. Good luck everyone !

Welcome! It's your personal choice. Alot of us don't record water gain cause you'll just lose it as soon as TOM is over.

Happy Tuesday!!!

If I could just repeat what I did yesterday all the time, I'd be doing great. Everything seemed to click yesterday. Dont ya just love days like that?

Went 4 miles this morning and it was beautiful:running: . Such a nice temperature out, and I had lots of energy after a good nights sleep. I'm going to try to get in another workout later today as well.

It sounds like all of us are off to a great start for this game! Hope we can all keep up the momentum. I've got some more errands to finish today as well as an eye appointment. It should be a fairly relaxed day which is always helpful.

Craig and I went for a bike ride last night and went down a road we've never been on before. That doesnt sound all that weird until you figure that we both grew up in this tiny town, and this road is only about 3 miles from where we currently live. Its a seasonal road and only open 4 months of the year. Anyways, fields on both sides, but lots of birds to watch. It was a nice ride.

Have a great one.

Hey Emily
 

Good morning-- I have two girls, and one boy. The boy is the oldest. I turned 38 this year. Hard to believe sometimes. When I got the info in the mail about the reunion, I had a few bad days. It's like it was now on paper that I was getting older..............lol. That, and I loved school. It was such a social event for me, and now I sometimes feel trapped at the house longing for the outside world.............lol. Not all the time mind you. I love being able to stay at home with my kids, and thank God that I can. Anyway, didnt mean to take off in that direction this morning. It's almost time for Maggie's nap, so Im gonna get on the treadmill soon.

Happy Drinking Ya'll,

Sherrie

OH yea I dont put any water gain on my tracker!!!!

Hey every one!!!! (waves)

I love all the new ladies here it took me some time to read all the talk!!!lol

Shari watch that sugar!!! you take care of you....your health is most important.

Pink I hope that move goes good for you! I hate to move....pack and unpack!!! ugg!!!

Sherrie and Emily sounds like you ladies have a great goal to set looking hot for that class reunion.....Sherrie I am close to the same age as you..I am only a few years older....I cant help it.....please forgive me.....its a small world after all!!! OMG now I have that song in my head!!! I am sorry ladies...

Well its time for me to work. Check in later!

Rosario-Good job on the exercise yesterday!!!! Isn't it great to get rejuvinated with so many new players in the game?!

I've got 6 exercise points again for today!!! It feels so good to be this enthusiastic again. Thanks ladies!

Brandy-it really wasn't conventinal excercise. Bowling and shooting hoops at Jillian's. but i did feel like I got a workout from both!!!

hey everyone!!!

I am so exhausted today. we stayed out late last night and I just want to go home and crawl back under the covers. I don't know if I'll get any excercise tonight. I really should start walking on my lunch again, but it's just so hot and humid outside, it's suffocating. I really don't want to pass out outside.

Food is another story.

But everyone seems to be doing really well and that has got me pumped up a bit (I want points too!!!). Keep up the hard work everyone!!!

See ya around!
