Wow, so I finally gpot myself set up at school and things have been crazy. My roommates and I are having a lot of fun, which has (unfortunatly) led to the consumption of a number of doughnuts when I had no soy milk for my cereal. But I figure the non-stop painting/box moving/room setting up for the last 3 days has burned those off and then some. So the gym opens up on Tuesday so I'll try not and let my lack of scale allow me to sneak some poor choices into my diet (AKA the fact that I had 2 handfuls of dry cheerios for lunch and of course, was starved later)

Anyway, we'll see how the first week of classes treats me!

Genevieve

WEIGH IN DAY!!
 

Guinever, sounds like you are having lots of fun reconnecting with friends at school!! Try to get to the store and stock up - Whenever I'm out of something and get too hungry-- all of a sudden, I am eating by reflex- :devil: !! But this is NO GUILT WEEKEND just we all can just pick up where ever we stopped--


BOBSGAL-- TA DA!!! Please share!! Have you started a new activity? Have you found a new recipe? Do you drink water with a straw? ( I read a thread somewhere it goes down faster!?!)

Dollar-- AWESOME!! Are the headaches almost gone now? Its a great feeling to put a string of on point days together. Do you have any secrets to share?

WSW-- 1lb down is 1lb GONE!! Hard to see a pound on us but imagine a pound of butter! I've had weeks when the scale wouldnt budge -- even .5 would 've been welcomed !!

Monday is my weighin day and I am excited too. I am down 2.5 which brings me to my 5lb. I am truly suprised because TOM is imminent and ordinarily see some kind of gain. I cannot prove anything but I suspect the added soy and calicium in my diet has made a difference. and you know where a lot of the soy and calicium is ?? My favorite PRIA BARS! (honest, I don't have any affiliation -- although if I was an investor I would think about buying stock)

Punkinseed, I know its too early for you -- not sure if you're near a computer this weekend-- I've got your back partner-

Anyone watching Jerry Lewis this weekend? I can't imagine Labor Day without his telethon.

Gives me a better perspective on what problems really are.


:genie:

AND THE WINNER IS:KAYLETS!!! Kaylets hath MET HER 5-POUND CHALLENGE by a chasing away of 2.5 :dance: this week!! Congratulations to :queen: Kaylets of the Meditations/Mediations! List update followeth!

Guinever!!! Congratulations on getting back to school and braving the difficulties of moving! Sounds like you are headed in the right direction weight journey-wise! Probably no need to worry about a few dougnuts with all that exercise and they say Cheerios are healthy! In fact, they sound good, mayhap Amarantha will buy some! Good luck at school!

Babette: O' Wood Nymph! :wave: I tried to reply to your post on the 21-day thread last night but the server went down! Hope you enjoyed your hike and are finishing up deadline stuff with no problem! (I did and I also think I'll take a small hike, inspired by you!) Hope you see this and report in on your 5-pound challenge, though you have eons to go!!! Here's another :cb:!!!

Newest challenge winner: Kaylets!

Kaylets-the only thing I did differently this week was to add the weighted balls to my WATP workout every other day and also started doing some ab work every other day. Not expecting a big loss this week as TOM is almost here, but we'll see what happens. Congrats on meeting your challenge as well. Everyone else-Keep up the good work.
Steph

Bobsgal: Which WATPs do you have? I have approximately 20 Leslie Sansone tapes, including some of the WATPs and the balls. I just order NINE more. Can't wait to get 'em! Again, congratulations, you are doing great!

Kaylets: If you want to do another 5-pound challenge, post the particulars at your leisure!!! Congrats again also!!!

Dost anyone else think we need a new thread? :grouphug:

In any case, WE CAN DO THIS!!! YOU BET!!! :cb:

I need to stop posting! Need another omelet! :cb: :dance:

Bye! :wave:

Monday pm
 

Yes, I think I am ready for anther 5lb challenge- I will pick Monday Sept 30 for another 5lbs.

As for an new thread... I don't mind if we do...

Have to admit, I am good and spoiled now w/ 3 days off and am not looking forward to returning to work tomorrow. - Oh well, day after tomorrow it will be Wednesday and that's half way thru!!

:genie:

hi!

kaylets-congratulations on meeting your 5 lb. challenge!
hope going back to work tomorrow after the holiday won't feel like too much of a rude awakening.

amarantha- thanks for the encouragement, as always!

guinever- hope you enjoy your new school year!

i was a little cranky earlier in the afternoon and started thinking about putting more on my plate to satisfy myself, but ended up choosing to go out for a walk instead, and was glad i did! it's beautiful here today after 1 solid week of rain and being outside did the trick.

well, have a good evening, everyone, and take care.

wsw

I have the WATP 1, 2, and 3 mile tapes. I also want to buy the WATP for abs tape, but haven't had any luck finding it in the store yet.
Steph

Bobsgal: You can buy all the WATP tapes online at Collage Video. There's a whole bunch of new ones out! :cb: Good luck!

Wsw: That was a good save ... taking a walk instead of a second helping! :cp: All these steps add up to a successful journey but they are sometimes hard to do for me! You are to be congratulated! :dance:

Kaylets: Amarantha hath asked Elbertine Pep to update the list on the new thread and she'll put your 2nd challenge on there!! Woo-hoo! There you go again! Will you succeed? YOU BET!!! :dance:

TO ALL THE POWERFUL POWER O' FIVE MEMBERS: MAY WE ADJOURN TO THE NEW THREAD? POSTETH NOT HERE IF YOU PLEASE!!! SIX PAGES IS ENOUGH METHINKS!? :grouphug:

Hello Everyone,
I'm up for this challenge. I think I'll be down 5lb by Sept 18. I'm hoping this give me the motivation need because I've been slacking for about a month now. I'm also challenging myself to workout 3x a week. So wish me luck. Congrat to all the losers and I hope to join in on the losing.

I'm here (kinda sorta')

Kaylets, my awsome partner... congrats!

I'm sick. I feel like I've got water up my nose, I'm dizzy and light headed - and such fun!!! I've been like this all freakin' weekend!!!!! :mad:

I'm up one pound. Needless to say, I ate my pain this weekend. Sunday did show I was down .5, but by Monday morning, I was up 1 pound... so, I'll take the gain, I deserve it and shall persevere and succeed next week!

Will get back to posting individually when my monitor quits moving.
