Smile May 26th Before The Holiday Weigh-IN!

Hope you ALL have a GOOD weigh-in!

This three day holiday weekend..think of next weeks weigh-in..
Maybe that will help US not GAIN! Know this is the holiday that
STARTS everything! The BBQ'S..EXTRA FOOD AND DRINKS!
Know it starts the summer vacations..schools almost out (or already are)
company starts visiting, ect.

This means you really have to be on guard!
WE can do it! Remember The SummerBlast Pledge! Help us now!
Will start a new one to get us thru the summer when this one ends.

Good Luck and Hard Work to YOU! It takes both!

I'm up one pound. That puts me right where I started with this pledge! I guess that's better than gaining, I'll have to look on the bright side!! LOL

Sheila - Good job! Have a great time on your cruise!!

Good luck to everyone!

Last week I didn't weigh in but did a few days ago. I knew I had gained back what I lost before my cruise. The scale was not kind to me. But, this morning I'd already lost 1 lb.

1 down, about 12 more to go. Fortunately we're not travelling anywhere until the fall so I can get it off.

Good luck to everyone this week.

Belle, you are so right. It's a difficult season for weight loss.

Default Yeah I Found It`

I have been poking around the board all morning peeking for this thread. Well the bad news, the STUPID scale has not moved..

Why? It is not that I am eating too much, I am stictly at 1800 calories a day. I am running at least three miles a day and doing my pilates and crunches. I have added plyometrics which is a fancy word for explosive moves, jumping jacks specifically. I can do 200 a day but will soon move to a 30 minute workout a week with them as soon as I can maintain jumping for 30 minutes. I may buy a jump rope.

I am also walking for at least a half hour a day to move the lactic acid along and prevent soreness. I ran my 5 mile long run last weekend and this weekend it is 6 miles as well as my weightlifing two days a week for the upper body.

So... I am doing my part but it is not moving. Probably because I am about to get my time of the month and because I am building muscle. I am looking for a loss next week.

I am down only 1/2 pound, but it is better than a gain.

Sheila, have a wonderful time on your cruise!

Good job to everyone who has weighed in today, that is half the battle.

OK now for the horrible news I have been so very very bad. I just cannot get back into eating right and exercising. I have been so good for the past 15 months but.... I gained another 2.5 pounds from last week to be at whomping 148.5. Part of the problem was we took our son out last night for his 26th birthday and the night before we took friends out to dinner at the new Wynn Resort to that wonderful buffet. Oh My when is the eating going to end

Hopefully with any luck next week I can start to take some of this weight off. I have 6 weeks to loose 10 pounds before the next cruise or my formal wear will not fit.

Shelia have a great cruise & when you talk to Lynn(Builderman) please tell her I said she's to enjoy her cruise as well. I am green with envy!!!

I am up 3lbs this week. I think I've just been making very poor choices . Need to make better choices this week. Don't think I'll have much success though as we have a wedding in the church & will be eating at the rehersal dinner & reception. Then off to MIL for Memorial Day. DD & grandson are here for the week so I am back home for a few days.

Everyone have a good week.
Linda

Hey everyone, I really didn't want to get on the scale today, we had a crazy weekend. My DH finished his degree and the inlaws were in town so we went out to eat almost everyday!! I did manage to make good choices except for the mocha frappachino and a brownie w/strawberries at a friends house (it was wonderful ) I did get on the scale though and I lost 2lbs!!! I could not believe it. Keep going everyone, remember to drink your water and get in some kind of exercise and make those good choices on food, We Can Do It!!

Have a great a time Sheila!!!

I just weighed in today and I stayed the same last week which was quite an achievement after the long weekend last weekend. I will stay on program better this weekend and look for a loss next Thursday.

Default Late again

Hey guys, another late post from me. Kinda glad I forgot to post yesterday. I was up 2.5 lbs. on yesterday's weigh-in , but today I am break-even from last week.

It has been nuts with my fluctuations this week. Dunno what it is exactly. Over the course of the last 8 days, I have seen 5 lb fluctuations! It's not my clothes and I weigh at the same time everyday. Anyone else go through such swings?

Here's to a great 3-day weekend. These are good for me because I have more time to exercise!

Good luck everyone!
