[ohMom]

good morning all -- how is everyone? i must say i feel like i have just blown off a week. yet again I awake saying TODAY is my day to REALLY seriously start. i have not been consistent since returning from WDW and i realized had i been i could've had 3 or so pounds off already. darn. ok - just watched YOU on a Diet, Dr. Oz and that is motivating. I did get a 4 mile walk yesterday so still on my exercise plan. need to get back in my eating plan

it's snowing here -- DH just left for a business trip so that mean i get to shovel oh well it'll burn some calories! anyone else in this wintry storm?

 

[sap1227]

Week 2 and I am still here! That is an accomplishment for me these days! I am going to try to really stick with it this week since next week we will be on the Magic!!!

 

[OhioMom]

Hi ladies! I would like to join the Easter challenge...I even added lil' piglet to my signature to keep me accountable!

I had been doing really well with what I was eating and going to the gym walking on the treadmill 2-3 evenings a week up until the holidays hit. Now I have totally gone downhill!! We are going to WDW on March 31 so I have to get back on track because I know how disappointed I will be in myself if I don't.

I'm also pretty new to this board, have been a lurker and just started posting so I look forward to getting to know you all!

My goal is 15 pounds.

 

[TammyNC]

I'm with you ohMom, another week gone and I'm still not in the groove. I start my day out well with good intentions, start getting my water in then life happens and I just haven't been using my self control the way I need to.

I am going to commit to getting my water in tomorrow, I WILL write down everything that goes in my mouth tomorrow and I will use self control tomorrow.

 

[tiggerlover]

Maybe something is going on with the moons because I can't get with it either. I have good intentions and I get so peeved with myself, but all I seem to want to do lately is eat. I know TOM is right around the corner, but I just feel like I am not satisying myself when I eat! YIKES! I don't look forward to weigh in on Tuesday, that is for sure.

 

[mikamah]

I'm going to jump in here and join the club. I've been out of control this weekend, and haven't gotten into the usual new years motivation yet.
Tiggerlover- I just said on the ww thread that maybe the stars and moon were crossed, giving out bad eating vibes. Wish I could blame something other than myself.
Hang in there everyone. Maybe this is the week we all get back on track.

 

[mousemgr2]

I've been pretty good all week. I've been counting my weight watcher points religiously. I haven't gone off track at all and I am still weighing in a pound heavier than last week. Probably too much salt is all I can figure. I'm not going to let it get to me though. I am going to try and squeeze some exercising into my hell week I have coming up. Hope everyone else starts the week on the right track.

 

[believe]

I would like to join. My goal would be 10 by Easter. I need to be accountable to someone. I've been exercising by my eating has been awful. Like, ohMom-TammyNC-tiggerlover, I wake and say this is the day to get back on track...just doesn't happen. I need that day to be today.

 

[ohMom]

ok, here we are -- monday morning -- no school for us due to snow and ice. actually i'm good with that -- tucked in the house with my to-do list and back in my jammies after a workout

i'm glad i'm not the only one struggling here -- well not glad for those of us struggling but glad to have a posse. Tammy, Debbie (tiggerlover), and Kathy (mikamah) -- I challenge you to report in with me tonight on your day?? for me that is journaling and water. back to the basics --- we'll take it day by day. let's rally up!

back track -- ohiomom and hey, we have the same username! LOL i just abbreviated, then forgot to capitalize and now confuses folks. i have been asked if i'm "ohhhhhh..MOM" from my sarcastic kids. well that could apply too but anyhoo glad you came out of lurkdom and have joined us. are you snowed in today too?

mousemgr -- you are WORKING your plan, your plans works just hang in there. truthfully what is a pound? fluctuation that is it if you are staying on track and following your plan, it will work and you will see results. you are my INSPIRATION today!

and another to believe -- glad you are joining too! if you are gung-ho feel free to join in my 'BE ACCOUNTABLE TODAY' mini-challenge i mentioned early. we can do this!!

well i also joined a flylady type challenge in the creative community and i have LOTS to do today to meet my January goals this month -- and two spots in a scrapbooking swap. so off i go for today. i'll check back tonight with my progress report

 

[kg66]

I'll join your challenge OhMom, we're all in this together!! I feel like I blew off my first w/e too! I'm really sticking to my biggest downfall...no eating after 7pm. Between 6:30 and 7:00 pm I try to have a grapefruit to hold me over and then that's it. Sitting down at the TV it's habit to grab a diet soda and a bag of something...no more. I'm off to work at 11 -2 then to the gym for at least an hour. I'm doing the gym M-F taking the weekends off because they're too hectic. I drive limousine, and the w/e are NUTS!!! Good luck everyone this week, and OhMom and the rest of you joining the challenge, I'll talk to you tonight. Kathy

 

[njcarita]

Hi all!!!!!!!

I decided to start tracking my daily points again(I've been guestimating for the last few weeks)

I've also noticed that I snack the most from 6 -9pm-- so I decided to move my exercize time to than-- and also save some of my daily chores for than--- so I'm not laying in front of the tv snacking


Here are a few Inspirational Quotes for the week.




Nothing tastes as good as being healthy and full of energy feels.


Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.---Jim Rohn


Your life is not a rehearsal. Don't leave it without giving it your all.

 

[denecarter]

As of this morning, down 7 lbs for the week... that's 13 of 20 for the challenge!

 

[Disneyglobegirl]

Hey can I join in too - alittle late joining but I need to get on the ball and get back into shape before summer

My goal is to lose 15 pounds by Easter

So I am starting today at 0/15

 

[DisneyBeagle]

I lost 1 lb this week bringing my total to 3/15.

 

[m_kasch]

I weighed in this morning and I am down 2.6, which makes it 2.6/20 for me.

I'm glad I got a good start, because I am going on vacation this weekend...so hopefully I can keep it up!! We got some snow here, not anything as bad as what we have had in the past, but we are just getting spoiled...i'm sure we will have some huge Denver-style blizzard soon and it will stink!!

I hope everyone has a good week!!

 

[LOVETHATMOUSE]

My scale was down for the past two weeks, so I didn't get a chance to weigh myself until this am. I lost 5 lbs!!! I woke up with my "friend" this am, so hopefully the loss will be a little more. Very happy though, since all I did these past two weeks was to stop eating after 8:00 pm and eat more fruits. This week I am adding in the water, and starting to walk. Hopefully I will reach my goal of 12 lbs by Easter - maybe even more!!

 

[tiggerlover]

i'm glad i'm not the only one struggling here -- well not glad for those of us struggling but glad to have a posse. Tammy, Debbie (tiggerlover), and Kathy (mikamah) -- I challenge you to report in with me tonight on your day?? for me that is journaling and water. back to the basics --- we'll take it day by day. let's rally up!

Evening, Molli!! I guess we all are in good company!!! I know part of my problem is TOM so I don't think I am going to post my weigh in tomorrow since technically it is out of my control! I had a great eating day so far, I have been within my points and I have had at least 9 8oz servings of water plus one diet coke so I think I have met my fluid goal, but I am just feeling a little bloated (maybe I should say fluffy) today, not looking forward to WI tomorrow, but holding my own. Wednesday starts a new week for me, can't wait for the new start!!!

Congrats to all of our losers this week!!! Keep up the great work!

How's everyone else doing today?

 

[mikamah]

Thanks Ohmom for the mini challenge. It will definitely help keep me out of the snacks tonight. I've been on track today, and have 2 points left. I weigh in tomorrow, and I tend to stay on track the day before weighin, but the past 3 days, not so good. I'm expecting a gain tomorrow. I don't have a scale, but weighed at work and was up 2 pounds. Hope it will motivate me to stay on track. Thanks for the water reminder, I'll have a few more glasses tonight to flush out all that extra weight. I'll come back to fess up if I go crazy later tonight, otherwise I just used my 2 points for TV snack and will be back after weigh in tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone!!

 

[ohMom]

ok gals -- here to report that i made it through my day too! after 7 p.m. so i'm done for the night...........ok i'm done i'm done i'm done!!!

i still have to add the rest of my food into sparkpeople but i did pretty good. i had enough calories left for a sliver of leftover birthday cake, not the healthiest but still within my plan and i don't do well cold turkey.

tomorrow? same bat time, same bat place?

i will update page 1 tomorrow, i'm on the laptop which is slower and the keyboard is smaller, so i'll wait to do that -- to our newcomer and cyber HIGH FIVES to those posting a loss for the week!!! woooohooooo!!!!!
