Chris, Just make it your goal to maintain. That is the hardest thing to do anyways. It definately is a challenge.

I am angry!!!
 

Oh, I am surely up for the challenge everyone, If you are at a stoping point, I would highly suggest trying the SBD, it has worked well with me thus far!


The challenge...try not to beat up my pedometer!

It must be wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2.1 KM
2800 Acutally steps
3800 Total Steps

143 Kcal
:dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy:
Eh???

Do you mean I have to walk at least five miles to get off 500+ calories!

I guess so.....

Hmmm, I wonder 2.1km to mile ratio??

Oh, I will do it......starting tonight, I will add a few miles!:dizzy:

CG
Just an FYI
1 mile = 1.6km

don't hurt your pedometer too badly!!!

You gals are a chatty bunch today!!:gossip: :gossip: (love these new smilies!)

My sister has been in town so haven't had much down time (ie. computer time...) Good thing was that we walked every night and sheis 4 inches taller than me so I walked fastwer than I would have other-wise...
Bad thing was I over-indulged a bit...nothing like company around to make you think you deserve more treats than usual- what's up with that??:shrug:

Anyway, I'm in this callenge...
I weighed at 236.6 this morning and would like to be a solid 230 by Sept. 1st. I know it's a bit ambitious, but I figure go high and really try for it than settle for less. Even if my body isn't ready to let go of this fat with me nursing (HELLOOOOO body- I have enough fat stores you don't need to hold on so tightly!!:rolleyes: )- I will get more in shape and maybe jumpstart my metabolism a little for when I quit nursing.

Are we going to have a check in day where we report on our challenge? May have to read back a bit to see how we're doing this.

Well, I'm tired and need some zzzzzs. Have a great weekend!!

bump for later lol

Morning! Pretty quiet around here on the weekends, huh? Hope all is OP, and moving and grooving! It's humid as ever, I could melt even thiniking about going out there.

Back from church, and changing into clothes that breathe! Have a great day girls! See you later.

Had a great family day today...after church we went for a drive and ended up at a Provincial Park about 90 minutes away. Walked around the lake and enjoyed nature- my boys thought it was great. Had a treat on the way home:T, but also walked for 40 minutes tonight after we got back. Feels great to be re-committed :)Hope you are all having a great weekend :wave:

Emily :flow1:

Oh, it is too darn hot!

Nearly 39c!!!!!!!! UGH!

I have both ACs running! Am I so weak???

Upstairs is the hottest! I get direct Sunlight in my Condo......No shade! No trees! Except behind me!

I have a two room AC running upstairs in the loft which has three rooms and a hallway! Fiancee complains a bit...but ...One month or two will not break our bank!

It is hot , hot, hot!

Oh, by the way...I did 3.43km today...

I believe that is nearly thress miles or so???

I made sure I did not at early AM before the sun got too hot!

Good morning! My only access to the computer is at work for now, mine at home took a dump :(. We can't spend the $$ to buy a new one right now because we are trying to get approved for our home loan.

I hope you all had a GREAT weekend! Mine was soooo busy with this land we're trying to buy, and home construction.

Food wise I did pretty good. We went to Red Lobster on Saturday, and I had 1/2 pound crab legs (no butter), a caesar salad, and mashed potatoes (no butter). Yesterday was a little different. I had 1/2 cup of fat full ice cream and 1/2 cookie. Today is Monday, so I am putting myself back on track.

Good news is that I weighed in this morning at 152! The first weekend I ended not starting back at 155.5. Now, hopefully this trend will continue.

Next Sunday is my daughter's 2nd birthday party, so I will take that day as a cheat day, and "try" to avoid junk until then.

Hope everyone has a good Monday.

Holly

My food was bad this weekend. We got the RV and I have to reclean things when I get them so I spent the weekend cleaning the RV so there was no time to cook so.....

But hey, now I can plan my vacation!!YEAH!!!! I cant wait.

Sandy, Have you been to the Desert Dunes of Maine? Is it neat or a waste of time?

Well, since I overslept this morning I have to get a deposit done up for the bank and take a shower.

~Monday Morning~
 

Good Morning all!

I hope Kempy and Noelle are having nice getaways. :dancer: I can't wait for mine in November.

I hope all had good weekends! Mine wasn't bad - even with a wedding thrown in! I started the SouthBeach Diet and it is hard at first. I miss my breads and fruits but it is only for 2 weeks so I can deal.

Holly good luck with the home loan! I am excited for you!:twirly:

Angie so glad you got the RV! What fun you will have. :joker:

CG keep up the walking! 1.6km = 1 mile! Way to go!

Stay positive and OP all!

:wave: GEM/Summer :wave:

Morning ladies :)

I did ok over the weekend, Saturday was my official "I don't care" day, and I didn't.. :lol:

yesterday I did better, but this morning when I got on the scale, I weighed 129. Which, I did start my period, finally, yesterday. I had over a week of PMS this time.. it was hard. But my tummy is all bloated up today, so that's probably why.

Hope you all have a good Monday, well as good as it can be anyways. :)

:yawn: What a busy weekend! I spent all of Saturday at my in-laws' about 90 minutes from home. The traffic was terrible on I95, so the ride both ways was a drag. It has been Hazy, Hot, and Humid for days, and Saturday was miserable. We stayed indoors and played Monopoly, Dominos, & Uno. It helped pass the time, and as a result, my mother-in-law didn't drive me as nuts as usual. We ate shrimp and pizza for lunch and sesame chicken with egg drop soup for dinner. Chinese food always bloats me...I hate that feeling. Yesterday, the weather was just as yucky, so we stayed in again and cleaned. I overate knowing that I would be officially be getting back on program today.

age: 38
height: 5'8"
starting weight: 250
current weight: 230
goal weight: 160
fantasy weight: 145
waist: 44"
hips: 54"

Breakfast: cheerios, skim milk, sweet 'n' low
Lunch: 4 oz. tuna in water, 1 oz. lite velveeta, 2 plums

So far, I've only used 8 WW points! I'm allowed between 24-30.

Emily: You are so smart to exercise to make up for eating extra treats. I wish I had the discipline to do that. Any exercise I get, I have to force myself to do.

Cosmo Girl: I understand how uncomfortable this weather has made you. I hate hiding in my house to stay in the A/C. I'd much rather be in the back yard gardening or swimming in the pool. It has just been too oppressive that it is hard to breathe.

Holly: Congrats on doing so well over the weekend.

Angie: Congrats on getting the RV. I'm the same way about cleaning.

GEM/Summer: You are stronger than me...beginning a new diet the same weekend as a wedding.

Tonya: Feel better. I will be in your shoes in another week.

Noelle & Kempy: Miss you guys.

Summer:flow2:

Well, didn't do so good for lunch...but it could have been a lot worse so won't beat myself too badly. It's Heritage Day here in Alberta and we went to an ethnic food festival for lunch. They had Polish, Hungarian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, Italian, Dutch, German...I think thats it! Hard to choose! We ended up with a german sausage, and small plate of vietnamese (spring rolls, wings, and noodles) and a small serviing of lasagna. It was all really good and I really just a few bites of it all- maybe I didn't do bad-- will need to go an an extra long walk though for those deep-fried spring rolls!

Summer- isn't it the worst when the weather starts getting to you? We don't have the humidity, but the heat as been awful (with no a/c!)- finally yesterday and today have been a bit lower than seasonal and it's been a great break. Hot again tomorrow though. The games sound fun- I love UNO and Dominos!
Points are looking great so far- good job!

GEM- good luck with the SBD- I've known a couple people doing it w/ great results. Keep us posted!

Angie- I don't think I ever congratulated you guys on getting the RV- COOL! So where all are you going to take that thing? Florida first??

Holly- Good job at the weigh-in!! And Happy Birthday to your little girl!

CG- 39- is TOOOO hot! Good job getting your walk in! kms to miles is 1.6 km= 1 mile.

Well, I'm off to sort through all my kids clothes- a job I've been procastinating tooo long! Later! :wave:
