Kiwi- I thank you for your posting - it helps me to stay focused. I have not been cheating . I am so excited that I am a part of 3fc. I love the support and inspiration from you and everyone else. I had my weigh in this morning and I have only lost 1 lb. this week for the Biggest Looser Challenge "GO BLUE TEAM" . Hey but I am very thankful that I didn't gain, considering that I have not been walking .

momtu2- I know what you mean. I had been doing alot better at loosing weight but now I seemed to have slowed down. Well, things are going to get better. All we have to do is stay OP and it will happen.

Have a great day

[Kiwi24]

Hi all,

Thanks for the encouragement that's so sweet but take a look at all of your scales!!
All of you motivate me. Your scales are dropping and as they drop it helps me to know that I can do this!

I know that we all bring something to this group. We motivate each other. Without you I would quit.

Tracy you are such a positive and focused person and that's exciting to me Want2behealthy, you and I can relate in alot of ways because we have alot in common.Scalewalker has a detemination that I would love to have more of. Ivy is on Fire! Rcsmommy and tigger you are a part of this group and even if you can't write in each day its encouraging to me when i do see that you have.

Well getting back to my weight. Somehow I think I got away from writting my menu down.
I'm not sure how that happened but I do know I cheat when I don't.

Soooooooo


Breakfast/ 1/2 enl.muffin w/grape jelly
Lunch Salad Diet pepsi
Dinner will be soup. i'm not sure what kind yet.

Write later
Kiwi

[momtu2]

hey girls! i'm gonna update you and then i'm going to vent about my dh!!
today
b:WW muffin and 100calorie chip pack
l:sooo bad. went to MC'D's and got chkn nuggets. gave kids the fries and split the nuggets w/them. coulda been worse.
d:will be leftover steak and mashed potatoes.

ok. my vent. and why i ate mcdonalds today!
DD and i have *just mommy and me* on wed. so by the time we were done (11:15), picked up DS from the sitter and were on our way home, me and the kids were hungry. i seriously don't do this every week, but we were all hungry so i did MCD'S. i promise next week i'll throw something healthy in the car for all of us so i don't cheat again!!

DH vent. he calls me 20 mins after he was supposed to leave work to tell me he has to work another hour and a half! he coulda called me MUCH earlier to let me know that! i had planned to go to the gym and work out when he got home and then go to the store to pick up some stuff. now no work out for me. i'm going to *try* and do some more crunches (i did 50 so far) by the end of the day, but now by the time he gets home the kids will be in bed, so i'm doing dinner, baths and bed by myself.

i did clean clean clean during the 2hr nap they took today, does that count as exercise ?

so if i don't pass out at 8pm from utter exhaustion then i promise to do some more crunches before bed!!

oh yeah, did i mention i have 2 more loads of laundry to finish up tonight?? ugh! men!!

Hi everyone

Kiwi your right we all bring something to the group. But you are the center of our group


Momtu2, Your doing so good with the work outs that I'm sure that sharing the nuggets with the kids isn't going to effect your weight lose. Are you serious kids, baths and cleaning up that itself is a workout
I don't remember exactly which website I read it from but I read that house work and activities with your Children can make you burn more calories!! Plus crunches give yourself a hand all that and you still have energy!
You go girl About the venting about H that's what were here for to support and listen

k as for me I haven't had anything to eat for dinner I'm going to have barbecue chicken and salad.

talk to you all later

[Kiwi24]

Wow, I did great for dinner! We ate at church. They were serving Soup. I'm not sure what kind it was but oh baby it was good!
They had all kinds of homemade desserts
but I didn't touch any of it!! I ate my soup with NO Crackers and I had a Diet Drink. I forgot to mention that for snack earlier today I had a hot dog with no bun. ( I like cold hot dogs)

Tracy I consider house work exercise. If it makes you sweat its exercise.

Hope everyone has a great tomorrow!!

Kiwi

[RCsMommy]

Uggh, men, they just know how to make our lives harder, don't they? So, I don't know how you all fit in exercise. My husband will be home for the next four day so I am going to take advantage of it and leave the kids with him and go to the gym. Then he leaves for 2 months so I will all by myself to take care of a 2 year old and a 2 month old...so exercise may not be possible for me. Maybe going to the gym willl jump start me into a program. I want to take the kids for a walk but my 2 year old wants nothing to do with the stroller. Oh well, I will be waking up tomorrow and going to the gym and I will start writing down everything that I eat here. I am here every night anyway, I just don't always write. Thanks for sticking with this group everyone, it really helps me on a daily basis to come here and know how everyone is doing!

[Kiwi24]

Good Morning,

Well I am ready to start this day.
I have no kids today!!
I am having a hard time losing weight this week. I feel like I'm retaining the water I'm drinking. I think I'm about to have a visit from TOM. That maybe why I cheated to begin with.

Well have a great day!

Kiwi

[momtu2]

morning ladies!! how is everyone?! it looks like it's going to be a beautiful fall day here!! high of like 58!! i LOVE fall, and i LOVE halloween!! my fav. time of year!!
rcsmommy:i know JUST how you feel!! my kids are very young and very close together (16mos apart), and when my little guy was 2mos old getting out of the house was soooo hard, and i was sooo tired!! (plus i had an 18mos old!) usually i bring the kids w/me to the gym. they have a playroom there. but they like for the kids to be gone by 4pm, so by the time afternoon naps are done, it's after 3. that's why i didn't make it yesterday.
kiwi: i'm waiting for AF myself here. not gonna lie. getting a little worried. i'm on birth control and *usually* i start by tues night, and here we are thurs morning and no AF. hmmmm... i'm sure she'll rear her ugly head at the worst possible moment!!
i hope everyone has a great day!!

Good morning all-

want2behealthy - The Biggest Loser Challenge first weigh in was 9-20 and ends 12-9. There are two teams RED and BLUE. We weigh in weekly and at the end of the challenge the weigh loss totals will be added and the team with the highest percentage of weight loss wins the challenge. GO BLUE TEAM

Kiwi - I agree with you everyone is a key source of motivation to our group. I look forward to reading the posts daily. Keep them coming.

[my ivy]

Good morning guys did anyone see THE BIGGEST LOOSER LAST NIGHT? I cant believe anyone can loose 20 pounds in one week is it even possible. Hey I thought I was doing awesome and all I have lost is 5 pounds in a week, HUMMM what am I doing wrong? Any how I am going to start to do crunches and jumping jacks because power walk isn't cutting it.

Kiwi wow no desserts excellent!!
Momtu crunches excellent!!!
Scalewatcher its true Kiwi is center support. I will weigh myself tomorrow ad give feedback on status.

So far 4 cups water one slim fast for breakfast.
lunch turkey cheese roll up apple.

[want2behealthy]

Good Morning

Kiwi- Now that you bring that up?? when we have our monthly visitor I know that we retain water do you think that it can make our weight be off I mean how much do you think we really gain in water

My ivy- I know I saw the biggest loser I love the Blue Team

I was very disappointed that they lost the challenge and the weigh in I almost cried I know I'm silly!! But how is it that they can lose up to 23lbs How do they do it so I can do it to I mean I work out 2 times a day on the treadmill for 60 mins and I'm adding weights for 25mins with Jillian former trainer of the TBL.

Ladies I can't do breakfast I tried but it makes me sick I'm having fruit for lunch and for dinner my husband makes a vegetarian chow mein, good.

Oh Kiwi I tried the Eclairs good

Hope everyone else's day is good and all check in later
