Good morning. Congrats JMH, your soup did sound yummy!

I'm down almost as much as I was up last week. 165.5 still up .5 but whatever. I'm still eating well but have to figure out how to cook when eating with my man. Before I met him it was just me and the kids. I would make 2 different meals. My light meals wouldn't be enough for him. I'm moving in with him in about month so I guess I still have time to figure it out.

What motivated me to lose weight...After marrying a loser and having 3 kids my weight was up to 204. When I figured out how unhappy I was with my weight and my husband I decided it was time to lose them both! I started running. When I got down 10lbs I told him it was time to move out. Still not divorced, after 4 years, because I couldn't afford a lawyer. Now we can agree on enough that we can divorce without a lawyer.

What has kept me going...knowing how great it feels to be thin and healthy. I got down to 154 last year(been at least 15 years since I'd seen that weight) I felt so good. I will see the 150's again

Gotta run, off to work

Hey guys.

Too much information, sorry Keegan. And I love spaghetti squash 

Great job on the 4 inches Crazy!

Just_me Your soup sounds yummy

Marlies, right, 30 minutes is better than nothing. I'm still struggling to get in 30.

Today my son's scout group marched in the Remembrance Day parade. I was cold but nice. I've never been part of my towns ceremony. We walked a bit but kids have little legs, they walk slow. I'm in the middle of folding mountains of laundry. I hate it but somebody has to do it.  Gotta figure out what I'm cookin for dinner tonight too...Guess I should get back to it.

Morning! Just dropped 2 kids off at school. My 5 year old only goes 3 days a week so she is here with me. For exercise yesterday I spent 4 hours moving everything in my living room. Not sure I like it, might have to move it all again today. Have been doing well eating just need to find time to exercise!

I live in British Columbia(furthest province west). Canada's only dessert. Brrr  can't tell that right now. About 20 minutes for the Canada/US border. I love it here. I haven't been very far travelling in Canada(Alberta and Saskatchewan) and in the US through Washington, down the Oregon coast and just the very tip of California. Many places I want to go but it will have to wait till my kids are older.

Marlies, I hope your day gets better. 

Sounds like you and hubby have fun crazy!

Hi from Canada

I'm 32. A single mom of 3. Love them to death but they drive me nuts sometimes. I have fallen head over heels for a wonderful man. I've never been this happy. He's great with my kids too. I'm 5'9, 165lbs. Trying to get down to 150. See how I feel from there. Will most likely want to lose a bit more. Been losing and gaining for the past 4 years. Highest weight was 204, lowest 154.

Hardest partfor me is be consistent. So hard to be healthy all the time. I'm going to try my best to stick with it. I want to lose this weight

Talk to you all later, Sarah

It's not pretty and it's my own fault. I'm in it today for good. no more slacking. I want this. I need to stop saying it and do it. Calories today-1500 NO MORE. Elliptical immediately after work. no excuses. I will log what I eat, period.

Catch up with you all later. Have to go to work

Yella, Way to go on your loss!

Yiscah, I found an unexpected motivator too. Stress. What ever works lol!

amandief, I hope you are feeling better and that the dr. could help

Lynn, sounds like an aggressive program. Good for you!

My free day, no kids no work. It's raining but I am stressed! $$$ I hate it. Never have enough. But at least it got me out. was going to go for a run but there is construction everywhere. I went roller blading down a path by the river...till I found more construction. Anyway, I got in about 30 minutes and cleared my head a bit. I feel like I can do this. hopefully this feeling lasts

did pretty good on my goals today. half a$$ed my way through 30 day shred and bailed on the elliptical completely. But, calories were good protein and fibre are pretty good too. watered all day now wine.

I went to the dr. today because my jaw has been hurtin for a few weeks. Apparently I have tmj syndrome. He gave me anti inflammatory meds. hopefully once the swelling is gone I will be able to chew again.

cricketro- congrats on being so close to your goal

amandie-giid for you, getting back on track. I need to do the same but can't seem to push myself to do it

Hey ladies

I'm back from camping, it's my birthday and I'm only up .5 a pound from Friday. 164.5 YAY! Camping was so much fun. Too much beer but hey, was my vacation.

Goals goals goals

Well, protein is my most difficult lately. Will aim for 80g daily. 100+oz water. exercise of some sort at least 3 times this week. I will lose at least 1lb this week. I can do it!

morning ladies

just dropped the kids off at school. Wow a day to myself. all 3 in school today. i think I'm gonna go for a run. I haven't ran in sooo long. i got my 7500 steps yesterday

missed most of BL last night. my man friend came over...

amandie- thanks for the protein tips

angie- i've been thinking about dusting off my roller blades and bike. Wow 1000 cal burn. Way to go

lynn- I need to get a DVR  so i don't miss it again. I hadn't seen my guy in a week so he beat out watching BL. 831 burned wow. I really need to get my butt moving

Rebel- your gadget sounds really cool. Wasp spray, ouch! good idea

I keep sabotaging myself. I'm still 166.5. Same as last month! Better than gaining i guess.

I'm ready for BLC. I found a step counter. Came from a cereal box. Not my good one, don't know where that one went. hopefully the cereal counter works

I'm aiming for 7500 steps, 750 cal deficit and 100+oz water.

Gotta get ready for work. ttyl

gonna have to find where I put my pedometer. Gotta be here somewhere.

my ideal came up as 146. was aiming for 150.  The lowest number I've made it to was 154 and I was happy there. Felt good but I couldn't hold it. Seemed I gained 6lbs over night then I kept gaining instead of losing. That's why I'm back in the 160's now. The 140's seem so far away...

rebel, your lunch idea sounds yummy. I've never thought of wrapping up cottage cheese.

I gotta get to bed. gotta work in the morning

Lynn I'm a biggest loser addict. I can't let myself not move while watching it. I get my best elliptical work out in while it's on tv. Can't wait. looking forward to getting sweaty lol
