| BOOOO! Happy Halloween all!
I am up to 156. Too much comfort food this past week. My grandmother died on Tuesday and I turned to carbs for comfort. I am going to cut myself some slack though. It could have been MUCH worse. ~Kim |

| Mabear, CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is great news! No worries about the weight, it has to be baby related. Think of all that extra fluid the little one needs. I gained 10 lbs almost instantly when I got pregnant with my 2nd. Six kids....WOW!! We are thinking about trying for #3 but I don't think I am quite ready yet.
Kelly, I bet as soon as you start using your recumbant bike you will see the scale start to move again. I think plateaus are inevitable. I have been stuck between 155 and 157 FOREVER. Good luck! Kerry, you are doing fabulously!10%...that is awesome! I hope you are proud of yourself. E, i hope things become more sane for you in the next few weeks. Have a wonderful time on vacation. I did not weigh in this week for fear of becoming more discouraged. The doctor has upped the dose of thyroid meds again and I really hope it makes a difference. I am always hungry so I hope that is a sign that my metabolism is getting the much needed boost from my previously defunct thyroid. We shall see. There are days when I just want to say, "screw it" and stop trying. Take care everyone and have a great weekend. Kim |

| Wow!! Where is everyone? I hope all is well with all my fellow pound pouncers. Just a quick update: My dad is improving by leaps and bounds. He is 3 weeks post-op and is walking about 25 minutes a day. He starts cardiac rehab in about two weeks where he will walk on a treadmill, ride a stationary bike and lift weights. OF course this will be under the VERY close supervision of the cardiologist and nurses. Grandma is still declining and I would be surprised if she survives the month. In all honesty, it would be a relief at this point. She has no quality of life anymore. I still have my job which was in question mid-September. Our company lost the government contract that I work on so it was looking bad. However, they moved me to a different contract and I am safe at least until the first part of 2008. So that is the current scoop. My weight loss is at a stand still and I know it is because I have not been going to the gym. I have just been too stressed and tired to care. I am jumping back on the bandwagon this week and hope to see the benefits of that soon. All my best! Kim |

| I have really missed this place!! My time is being taken up by work and one family crisis after another. I am sure my weight has suffered for it but i forgot to step on the scale this morning so Ido not yet know the damage. Tomorrow, I will post what will certainly be a gain.
Kelly- That is amazing!! You have come so far! Thank you for the information. I have considered going to a nutritionist but would have to pay out-of-pocket and that is not in the cards right now. I hope you are feeling etter soon. Poison Ivy is the pits!! Kerry- I am sorry you are having a tough go right now. At least you know it is just water weight and it WILL come off. Of course it still sucks seeing that on the scale. Animal - At least we are inthe same boat...:P Tess- I bet it is muscle. All that hockey playing has got to be building up lots of muscle. Judy - 169 is great! No gain! For everyone on that dreaded plateau, keep working, it will pay off eventually. At least that is what I keep telling myself. Take care all. I will try to remember to post tomorrow. |

| It's Monday....:P
Thank you to everyone for the kind words and support. My dad is doing well. He was moved out of the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit last night an is now in a private "step-down room". There have been a few problems with his diabetes and blood pressure but nothing theay have not been able to manage. We are very happy with his progress. Kelly, I am happy to see that Casey is improving. That is great news. Also, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!! I am glad you enjoyed the cake :) I am sure the scale will be kind come Wednesday. Judy, Welcome back!! It sounds like you had an amazing vacation. You will certainly be back in the 160's by Wednesday. Tess, I love you pictures from Mexico. It looks like you had a very good time. You look great BTW! Kerry, how are you feeling? Is the swelling any better? Aimee, I am sorry you had a crappy weekend. How is your little man? Is he still upset? I hope everyone has a good day! Thanks again! Kim |

| Good Morning Mates,
I am maintaining at 156. Damn labor day party... Not to mention I couldn't peel myself away from my 3 yo last night to get to the gym. He just started pre-K this week and he was needing some mommy time. Kerry, thank you for the kind words. I am sorry to learn that you are having such a difficult week. Are you back on the diuretics? I am sure you will have a big loss next week. I know that you have been struggling with remaining motivated but you realy are doing so well. You are such an inspriation. I bet your doctor is thrilled with the progress you have made. Tess, I agree with Kerry, you totally ROCK!! Hockey is the one and only sport I will pay to watch. You are the WOMAN! :) I hope everyone has a good day. The weekend is almost here. --------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Quick Update: My dad will have the surgery tomorrow and now it will be a five-way bypass. I am confident he will be fine. My mother is a complete basket case. Between my father's upcoming surgery and my grandmother's recent surgery, she is a bit on the edge. |

| Welcome Robin!!
I think you will find this site very helpful! The members are great and always willing to offer support and suggestions. Congrat on the baby boy! I too am trying to lose the baby weight. I had two boys 21 months apart and gained far more than I should have. Good luck!! ~Kim |

| Good Morning,
Congrats to everyone who did so well this week! It looks like everyone is super busy. Kelly, I certainly hope Casey is doing better today. Our furry friends are such a huge part of our lives it is no less painful to see them sick then it is to see one of our human family members become ill. I am thinking of you and your little Casey. I apologize for being MIA as of late. My father just found out last week that he needs to have a quadruple bypass. He will find out today when he will be having the surgery. The doctor wants him to have it done this week we just don't know what day. He had a heart attack 17 years ago and his heart is pretty damaged. Now he has 2 arteries that are 100% blocked and 2 more that are partially blocked. I am so thankful they found the problem before it was too late. To top that off, my grandmother was hospitalized on Sunday and will be having a pacmaker placed on her heart this morning. Needless to say my family and I are under a bit of stress. I know my diet is suffering for it but I have been getting to the gym so hopefully that will help. I have to say that seeing my dad go through all of this makes me thankful that I am taking care of myself now. Sorry for the rant all about me. I just needed to vent a bit. Have a good day! |

| Hi All! I have missed getting to this site these past few days. I was very happy to read how well everyone is doing. Kelly, WAY TO GO!!! 100lbs...that is fan-freakin-tastic!! You really are an inspiration. I am sure you have mentioned it, but I do not remember, where are you going for your vacation? Eric, thanks for the laugh you goof ball!! I am happy to see you did not give in and smoke. Mabear, an RN...that is great! I guess you are immersed in biology and anatomy and physiology classes. I wish I was organized enough to juggle that kind of schedule. You are Super Woman :) Tess, congrats on the 3lb loss. That is great! Judy, you made it to the 160's...awesome!!! You should be very proud of yourself. Look out 150's... :) Kerry, how are you doing? Great job losing 3 more! Aimee, 4.5 for the month is really good! I wish i could say the same. Willow, how did the move go? If nothing else I am sure it was a decent workout. Anxious, it is good to see you aren't getting frustrated with the plateau. I wih I could be so positive about it. I am about ready to pitch my scale out the window. Orange, you did great! Only 2lbs...that will be gone in no time flat :) Goofy, what are you studying in school? I have been trying to get better and spending a lot of time napping .... yawn....The antibiotics make me feel pretty lousy but I can breath again so it is a trade off. I am not going to weigh-in this week with the hope that I will be able to get some exercise in this weekend even if it is just walking. I fear becoming seriously discouraged and unmotivated if I see the numbers on that scale right now. I hope this is Ok. Have a good day everyone. BTW, daytime TV SUCKS! |

| Uggghhh, it's Monday already?!?
I have caught up on the thread and it looks like everyone (myself included) is having a difficult time with motivation. Pehaps it is the long hot summer that is dragging us all down. I feel more motivated this week thanks to Kelly. I will just keep thinking about where I want to be on New Year's Day, at this weight or lower? It is a no brainer. :) Thank you to everyone for the well wishes last week. I am finally feeling a bit better. Come to find out I had pnemonia. No wonder I felt like hell. It seems like one of us always gets sick on or after a vacation. Apparently, it was my turn this year. I am still tired and coughing like I have been smoking for 50 years but I feel better. Now I just have to stay away from comfort food. I hope everyone is having a good day. |

| Hello Fellow Pouncers, I apologize for being MIA as of late. I have caught a bug and feel horrible so I am here to give my stats then I am off to bed. I promise to catch up as soon as I can remain upright for more than 15 minutes at a time. CW - 158 SW- 158 Have a good day! |

| Hello All :)
I hope everyone had a great weekend. I finally got caught up reading the thread and am happy to see so many of you are doing so well. Congrats to each of you!! Just think, there are only 131 days left in 2007. Eric, I hope that you are feeling better. I was sorry to read that you managed to pinch a nerve. It does sound like you are enjoying that new toy of yours though. Kerry, I hope you and your son are having a wonderful day together. I can't even imagine how much you must have missed him. Kelly, it sounds like you had a great time at the fair. I was subjected to boardwalk food all week and did not do well myself so i understand completely. All we can do is start over again. Aimee, sorry you are suffering ttom and having a lousy Monday to boot. What a crappy way to start the week. Don't stress about the gain, you know it will come off when your ttom is gone. I certainly hope your day improves. Anxious, my condolences to you for having to say goodbye to your dear friend. Euthanizing a beloved pet is one of the hardest decisions to be faced with. All things considered, I hope you are doing well. Tess, I love the picture of your newest addition! What a cutie! How is s/he doing? When mine were puppies it felt like all I did was say "no, no". Kind of the same with the kids now :) Judy, what kind of horses do you have? I used to ride eons ago but never had a horse of my own. It really is fun. I am sure taking care of them is a lot of work. Orangeloft, I hope all went well with your housefull of visitors. Mabear, I am with you on the cc plus. I think it will be great once I get used to where everything is. I am seriously scared to get on the scale after last week at the beach and Disney the week before that. I did join a local running club and we had our first run on Sunday. I honestly thought I was going to die! It is much harder than I expected it to be and may have to go back to the Couch to a 5K program I was doing prior to my knee injury. It is quite a bit more gradual in its approach. It is good to be back home. Have a good Monday everyone! |

| Sorry for the delay. We did not have internet at work yesterday and it is acting sketchy again today. As soon as it came up this morning I jumped on here, I haven't even checked my work email yet (priorities:P). So before it bumps me offline again:
Current Weight: 158 (3lb gain on vacation...oops) New Year's Goal: 135 Personal goal: run a 5K in November I hope everyone is doing well!! |

| Thank God for coffee; i feel human again! I was off the joe but have somehow managed to get in the habit of one cup a day again. No More!! As of tomorrow I am going cold turkey...again :-P.
Today is my dad's last day of work. He is retiring after 40 years. I am very happy for him. He is apprehensive about the change right now but I think he will settle into the retired life fairly quickly. His big party is on Thursday and so far we have managed to keep it a secret from him. At the rate I am going I am never going to be able to retire. I will be 90 and walking the halls here pushing my I.V. pole. |

| Good Morning All,
I am dragging butt today. The cafeteria isn't open yet so I haven't had my coffee yet.....yawn!! I wish I was still in Florida, I would be drinking my coffee lakeside watching the ducks wake-up. This working thing sucks :) Have a good day!! |

| It was very crowded but for the most part, everyone was very courteous and respectful of their fellow park goers. We are going to try to plan a trip for November of 2008 so we can enjoy all of the Christmas festivities.
How was your week? |

| The first day back to work after a vacation is the PITS!! I almost feel guilty about leaving again on Friday for the beach. Almost but not quite :)
I am so glad to see so many people signing up for the New Year's challenge. Welcome to all of the newbies in our group. Eric, I am glad you are enjoying your new toy. I think you and my hubby would be great friends :) Judy, 150 is my next goal as well with 130-135 as my New Year's goal. We can do this! I have been stuck at 157 for freakin ever and I am sure my trip to Disney has added to that number. Tess, my parents are going to Vegas in September and are planning to stay at the Venetian. I would love to go but will be tapped out after Disney and then the beach. Kerry, it rained everyday just like you said it would but usually only for 40 minutes or so. I got WAY more sun than I planned. Kelly, I think this new challenge will be a great motivator for us all. You have done so well I am sure you will get back on track. I am still in vacation mode and am hoping that all of the walking I did helped to stave off the pounds because I certainly ate well over my daily limit. |

| Hello All!! I got back from Disney World at 11:00 last night and am trying to settle back into a routine. I had a wonderful time and wish I was still there. I am certain I gained weight while away but am confident Iwill lose it in no time. I have a lot of catching up to do so I am off to read the last 10 days worth of posts. Kerry, good god it is hot where you live!! Have a good Monday!! |

| It sounds like everyone has been having a very busy week. I know it has been insane in my office. I also imagine it is a big vacation week.
I can handle the 20 minute shower it was the rainfall that lasted all day that drove me nuts last time. We were there the week after Thanksgiving last year and it rained almost everyday. I think it is one of the reasons my son got so sick. If it gets to be too much we will just hang out at the hotel. |

| Today is my Friday and in just a few hours I am out of here!! WOO HOO!! Now I just have to pack for myself and the little ones.
Kerry, I agree with the percentage of weight loss vs. actual pounds lost. I also really like the idea of mini challenges throughout. I am sorry you are having a difficult time with swelling. What did your doc say about it? BTW, I went online and it looks like you have been getting a lot of rain. Is it just a quick shower or can I expect to be drenched all week? Last time we were there it rained everyday...bummer! It is a shame you aren't closer to Orlando, we could do lunch! Kelly, I am so happy for you and all of the progress you have made. I hope you are as proud of yourself as your team is of you. You truly are an inspiration. It is a whole new world for you! Aimee, great job maintaining with all of your summer travels and parties. I am worried about gaining next week but am hoping all of the walking and the ungodly heat will help prevent that. Have a good day all! |

Great job team! I am excited to start the new challenge! We are all going to do really well. Kelly, that is great!! Congrats on the loss! Maybe your metabolism just needed a boost and that cheesecake was just the thing to do it :) Kerry, thank you for spearheading the next challenge. You are a great leader. Great job getting your sugar and cholesterol levels down. I bet your doc was happy. Animal, geez you get a motorcycle and then you disappear on us...:) It sounds like you are enjoying the bike. I am sorry you have been so stressed and busy this week. i hope your weekend is more sane. Goofy, it sounds like you are having a fantastic summer. Good for you! I am glad you didn't hurt yourself. Aimee & Anxious, I am glad you are going to be joining the new year challenge. Well, I have 2 more days until vacation. I doubt if I will be able to get online but will try anyway. Work has been crazy the last 2 days and today is no better so I have to sign off. |

It was another marathon meeting and my stomach was growling like I hadn't eaten in a week. How emabarassing! Four more days until vacation!!! count me in of course :-) |

| Kerry, I am so glad your father is doing so well. That is great news! I bet you are relieved. Are they giving you a date when they expect he will be able to return home? I am sorry you did not get to relax this weekend. Hopefully you won't be too busy at work today. WOO HOO for fitting into old clothes!! That is such a great feeling! You will be in those pants in no time at all!
I have a 10:00 meeting that I am going to be hard pressed to stay awake for while the asshats try to out do each other with all of their "fabulous" weekend talk. Uggh, just shoot me now! There is usually a good 40-minutes wasted while they try to impress each other. I have already been here for almost 4 hours and I am going to be starving by the time they shut the hell up. I hate Monday meetings...can you tell? A few eeks ago I kept thinking about an episode of "Soup Talk" and it took all I had not to break out in uncontrollable laughter. I really am not meant to be in an office environment. |
