Well my drinking didn't pay off. I had that pound come back. I have done 15 min. of gazelle this morning, and plan on doing some tonight. I am going to do this.
later

Good Morning Ladies
My guys are still in bed. So I thought I would get on here for a few. Sounds as if everyone is doing ok.

Shortstack. Don't worry about your 1 lb gain. That sounds like all that water you drank. Maybe next Mon don't drink as much. I know on the day I weigh in I don't drink much. Because if I do I will have a gain. But you keep up the good work. How is Brandon and KC? Hope both are doing better.

Sherri. Good job of staying on Track. I know you will get to goal before long. What is the matter with your leg? Hope you are doing ok.

CC the banner is great. Everyone will be proud of it. And everyone is proud of you.

Summer. Thinking of you. Hope both girls are doing better know. And I know you will get back on track.

To everyone else. Hope you are doing ok. Hope you are staying OP.
Well am going to get off here. Tonight is my weigh in night. So I will check in later. Everyone have a great day.

Good Morning Everyone,

Its a beautiful day here in FL. Its already 79 degrees, but I got my walk in at 7 AM this morning while it was still cool.

I'm glad to see that so many are back posting now. I'm having to make notes to remember who is saying what.

Summer....Its good to have you back, and I'm glad that your daughters are better. And you'll get back on track and lose any gain that you may have, soon. I'm a stress eater myself and I have gained several pounds since we found out what was wrong with Jim. He is doing good with the chemo therapy.

Congratulations Lara, on your new baby girl. I know that you will really enjoy her. Babies are so precious.

Mary Ann...We are expecting our 4th grandchild the last of Nov.
My DIL called when she was about 2 weeks pregnant. She was so excited, she couldn't wait any longer.
I'm glad that the motivational saying helped you. Some of those are really good. I like the one that Christie uses "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels". What day do you weigh in? Let us know how you are doing?

Wendy...That water weight will be gone in no time. You have been doing great. Keep up the good work.

Sherri....I didn't sign up on the getting to goal thread. Even tho I plan on getting to goal, I know me and I don't think that I can lose 40+ pounds this year.

CC...The banner is beautiful. You are a very talented person. And I loved your speech. You have a good way with words.

Punky...Hope all is going well with you. Let us hear how you are doing.

As for me....I was too tired to post yesterday. I got up and left at 6 AM to take my friend to Orlando to see her hubby. He had another turn for the worse and I just can't let her go by herself when these things happen. AS soon as we got back, I had to rush to keep my appt with the DR., then I had some errands to take care of, then it was time for dinner, then back out again. I have gained about 2 pounds since Friday. I hope part of it is just water weight. I plan on hitting the water today and really sticking to plan the rest of the week. One of the things that I have learned is that its hard to stick to plan when you don't feel very good.

Have a good day, everyone.

Well as always I am on the run but I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for taking the time to read my speech. I just hope I don't faint to the floor while reading it!! There are many things I can do well but public speaking is soooooooo not one of them!!!

I am suffering from a most miserable sinus infection, just got over an ear infection and started another course of antibiotics. Weigh in for me tonight, dum, dum dum dum, da! I don't think I have lost much, and I am forbidden by the doc to do any serious cardio for 4-5 days.

I am so impressed with the positive energy on this board! You ladies are wired for sound! Keep it up, together we can accomplish anything, one day at a time.

I have to get to the school, I promised to help my DD class do Ukrainian eggs this afternoon.

and have a great day

CC,

You will have another loss. You have been eating right and doing the exercise you are bound to lose again. Keep up the great work. I hope you are feeling better. But make sure you don't overdo it with the exercise. Listen to your doctor.
You will do fine while delivering your speech just wish I could be there to hear it in person and cheer you on.

Nita,

I love your motivational sayings. They really keep me going for sure. Just think that if you don't make it this year how very very close you are going to be by the end of the year. You are doing great. Keep up the motivation. We still have 36 more weigh ins before the end of the year. I am going to make it one way or another. Keep up the great spirits and eating right and exercise and you are well on your way to goal. We are here with you.

CoCo,

Good luck with weigh in tonight. I am sure you will have another loss this week. Do you think you will beat your husband this week like last week. You have been doing great and the scale is showing it. Let us know how you do tonight.
I pulled a ligament in my leg and I have to wear a brace on it. Exercising bothers it. I did 2 days this week and now I am done for the week I think. Maybe I will get in one more day. But it won't be today because my knee needs a break it is bothering me from the exercise. It is no big deal and it will be fine. It is not holding me back for sure. I am so pumped up right now and I feel absolutely great today. So that makes it so much easier to stay on plan for sure.

Wendy,

Don't you dare give up what you are doing and get down girl. Just think how much water you drank yesterday. Yes you won the challange but you can't drink that much on weigh in day and get a loss it is impossible. It is ONLY WATER weight. It is not fat. You will lose it and more next week.
Keep doing what you are doing. It is working for you. Even though the scale was up it was a false reading. You will see next week.
Keep the momentum going girl you are heading in the right direction. Remember don't drink much water the day of weigh in. I don't drink my water or exercise the day of weigh in so I won't have a gain.

As for me. I am doing great. My scale is still not down since sunday morning. But I think it is because I have exercised late at night for the past 2 nights. Usually when I do that I don't have a loss the next morning. So we will see tomorrow what it says. It should be down then. I am feeling so great.

Hey Penny,

Remember when you asked about feeling thin? Well girl I feel like a million bucks today. I said to my husband this morning it sounds stupid but I feel so thin today.LOL

I am getting in all my food groups and I am doing what I am supposed to do. So I am going to keep going. You are doing great to. You will have another loss next week. Just keep going you are heading in the right direction also.

I feel like I have lost 20 lbs and I have so much energy. It probably is all the caffine in the tea I am drinking. I am sure. But I am not bouncing off the walls. I do sleep all night long. But I am not waking up exhausted anymore. Which is great feeling. I cleaned my whole house before work this morning which is amazing. I never do that.LOL I don't like coffee or soda so I don't normally have ANY caffine in me. But I am drinking 1 gal of the green tea a day. I use 12 tea bags and it is strong. I don't like tea but I can drink it. I don't hate it. It sure beats drinking the grapefruit juice my husband is drinking. Plus I am eating all my meals and not drinking them like last week.
Hopefully I will have a loss this week. That will keep me going.

Sherri

Hello everyone!

Wendy, Wendy, Wendy......yes, the water drinking is good....but NOT on weigh in day. That is definitely why you had the gain. Just pick up any container of liquid and you can feel how heavy it is. Drink the other six days and take you 'day of rest' on your meeting day. Don't let yesterday worry your pretty head.

CC, sorry you're not feeling well. Maybe your body needed this little break from all your exercising. Just think of the energy you will have when your better......WATCH OUT WORLD!!!! Bet those eggs will be pretty.

Sherri, I'm happy to see you are so 'up'!!! Feeling good does so much for our energy level and when one feels great, most other things fall into place. I also drink the green tea and I really like the Bigelow Brand Mango flavor. Also enjoy the mint.

Nita, you had a busy day yesterday. Don't worry about getting here to post. We all have things that don't allow us to do everything and sometimes just getting on the computer is just that additional stress that I don't need. I hope your friends husband either gets better soon or doesn't suffer too long. I am not sure what his prognosis is. It is nice that you are there for her to lean on. So happy for you and your husband that his chemo is going well.

Lara, a little girl. I'm so happy for you!!! Enjoy every moment of her when she is tiny.....they fly by soooooo fast!

Coco, I hope you have a good weigh in tonight. You've been really trying.

MaryAnn, nice to see your post. Hope things are going well for you.

Penny, you sound 'pumped' again. Remember to never give up on you.

To everyone else, I hope the start of this week has been good to you and your eating habits. Together we will lose and reach our goals. Have a Terrific Tuesday!!!!!! Thanks CC for starting the {{{{{VIBES}}}}}} and I'll add some extra's too.....{{{{{{{{{{{{{{VIBES}}}}}}}}}}}}}!!!

TOPS HUGS,
Summer

Hi ladies
I am kinda bummed. They canceled our meeting tonight. I got on my scales this afternoon and was excited. According to them I had a 1 lb loss. But they just called a little bit ago and canceled the meeting. It has been raining here all day. And the creeks are starting to rise. They have flood warning and watches out. I guess up close to were we meet there is a side road and the creek was starting to go into the road. Another lady said she couldn't get out. That her road had water in it. So I guess I will have to be extra good this week. So I will have a loss next week. We were going to install our officers tonight. So I guess we will do that. I did ride my bike 5 miles today. Must be the weather change. My knee has been aching the last couple of days. So didn't want to push. Because I want to keep excericsing. I am glad I joined this 100 mile walk thing. This way I know that I have to walk or ride at least 20 minutes a day. I just hope I can do well over Easter. But I think I will. I will just write everything down I eat, keep track of my points, drink water, and execise. The only candy I bought for Easter was LifeSavers for my son. He likes those.
CC hope you get to feeling better.
Sherri take it easy on the leg.
Nita hope your husband gets along ok on his chemo. I kinda know what you are going through. My hubby had to do chemo also.
Summer Hope your girls are doing better. And you will get back on track.
To everyone else hope you are doing ok.
Well I better get off here for now. You all have a nice evening.
A TOPS PAL
