It's really July!
Like I said earlier, I'm going to enjoy every day of this month. It seems time is passing so quickly. My June was just a blur, beginning with June 9th (my birthday and the death of my father-in-law).

Anyone new to this thread----please join us as we strive for a healthier body. Most of us used to weigh on Thursdays. Now a lot of the "older members" (sorry about that) weigh on different days. It doesn't matter what day you weigh, you can come here and post!

Let's have a great loss this week.

Tina

Howdy,

Ok there obviously was way to much celebrating my birthday last week. I was up 2.2 pounds. I HAVE to get serious this week and get it off. However, that will be after I have Mexican food tonight.

Hope there are a lot of losers out there this week. Happy 4th!!!

Hi all! I was down a pound from when I weighed 2 weeks ago, but that is still up 4 pounds from where I was in May. I'm so crampy this morning. Worse than yesterday. I was up at 5:00, and was at Curves when they opened at 7:00.

Headed to the laundrymat to wash band uniform bags. Doesn't that sound like loads of fun?

I still stayed the same this week. I am ok with that rather than a gain. I think I will be staying away from the scales for a while once I really get into lifting on our new home gym. I don't want to discourage myself as I know it may show that I gain even though it could be muscle. I tend to get psyched out by what the scale says sometimes. Hope everyone has a good WI and a GREAT 4th of July!!! ......Sis

I am down 2.6 this week.For a total of 25.2
I am doing it.
Congrats to everyone who had a weight loss.
And to everyone who didn't, hang in there,You will do it next week.
Happy 4th to all. Punky

Punky, you are doing fantastic! Keep it up! You are an incentive to everyone with your enthusiasm.

My hubby has set a goal to lose 10 pounds by his b-day Sept. 22. He loses so much faster than I do, I'm sure he'll make it.

Not doing much today. Hubby is working. Son is reading a book. Dog is napping. lol

I do have shirts in the washer, so I guess I should take care of those. Then when those are all finished, I think I'll take a nap. Just seems like a fun thing to do.

We are doing steaks on the grill this evening, so that will be yummy. I'm making salads to go with that, and we have fresh fruits already chopped up for dessert.

Have a wonderful holiday everyone!!

My weigh in for the first week of July rewarded me with a 2lb loss

Today is normally the day I enjoy my banked points but Im wondering if I shouldnt screw up a good thing.

Anyway DH is doing this with me but he doesnt weigh nor does he have any other goal but to get below 200

Grats to all the loosers of the group =)

Tiff

Tiff, congrats on the loss! I can understand about the banked points thing. You are doing great. I still need to get back into the habit of journaling. I don't know why I find it to be such a pain!

My hubby is bringing a pizza home for supper. We rented Analyze That and will watch that while we eat. Usually we get a 12 inch pizza for the 3 of us to split. Works out pretty good that way. Not too much, but enough.

Congratulations to everyone who posted.

Tammy, you're going in the right direction and that's what counts.
Susan, having a birthday and all the celebration usually means no loss----you'll go down in no time. Going to Curves will get you going again.
Punky---that is outstanding !!!!!!!

Tiff, what a great way to start July! I wish my husband would stay with it and lose, no matter if he counted points or not.

Sis, tell us about your new home gym, Please......

I weighed yesterday and was down 1 pound from the 6 I'd gained in the last few weeks. I'm psyched now to get back to exercising every day. I've got to get my metabolism going.

Tina

Tina,
We got a "Parabody" I think it is called. It has the lat bar, the leg lift thing, you are able to do "flies" for pecs, push downs for triceps, you can do crunches, rows, and probably a LOT more than that , but I am just figuring it out yet. It seems to be pretty versatile in what you can do. My hubby is doing it too but he wants me to think he got it "just" for me. I know better though. LOL I will keep you guys posted on my progress, if any. Chat later. Have a GREAT week end....Sis

Wow Sis! The home gym sounds great. We've considered getting one. I think Bob and Tim would both like it.

Yes, Sis, that gym sounds great! I'd need a trainer to show me how to use all the features.

Tammy, I bet Tim and Bob would enjoy one of those home gyms. It would be good training for Tim's activities.

I completely blew a month's worth of points today.
Larry needed to get away. So, we went toward the Gulf and had seafood platters at a great restaurant. I'll just have to walk extra minutes all week.

Hope everyone has had a relaxing 4th weekend.
Tina

Tina,

Hey it was worth all the points if it helped make Larry feel better. Did ya'll go to Guidos?????? It doesn't really matter where, it's all good. I'm so jealous that ya'll went to eat seafood. It's my favorite. I've been down all day with a sick headache. Actually it hasn't actually made it all the way to the headach because my smart husband knew it was a migraine coming on because I've been sick at my stomach all day. Actually everything has turned my stomach including diet 7up.

Boo on the headache! Hope you are feeling better today.

Seafood! My favorite. I ate so much shrimp when we were in Georgia. Love that stuff.

I went to the doctor this morning because my left leg has been swelling recently and it is tingling. After I called to make the appointment, my left arm started tingling. Anyway, I go for blood tests and an ultrasound of the leg tomorrow. Looking for blood clots. I'm not supposed to be doing anything except sitting with my legs elevated. Well, I'm doing this right now, then I'll head back to the recliner. Kind of scary, but I'm sure it's nothing. Don't know why I'm sure, but I am.

My BP and pulse rate are great so he was pleased.

Bob just ran to a little restaurant down the road to get sandwiches. We were supposed to be meeting with an insurance person right now, but Bob talked to her and asked her to come some other time. It looks like it's ready to storm AGAIN! I think I need to get off of here. We have been having nasty storms 2-3 times a day since Friday. This is getting to be a bit much.

Howdy,

Tammy, TAKE CARE of yourself!! Please let us know what the doctor says. Glad your blood pressure was good.

Tina, is it hot enough for you? It is for me!!!

Today has been an interesting day. One of my good friends had brain surgery. Everything came out good. She will be in ICU for a couple of days, so I can't see her. Then another really good friend that I talk to everyday has gone to Vegas until Sunday. Another girlfriend is in Europe for 3 weeks. Pat has band tonight so I'm here alone until 10ish tonight. Feel lonely. Really want to eat!!!!!!!! I went to look for furniture and found some I liked. Now the key is to get Mr. Pat to see it. Well, I think I'll lay here on the couch for a little bit and then run to Target and see what kind of stuff I don't need.
