Hi,

I have lost 2 pounds this week and that's great. We had very heavy rain all day yesterday and all night.  Today is much better, it's going to be  28 at night. So i guess winter is coming back. I have big plans for this week-end but i aslo plan to go to the body pump class on Sunday morning. How did you do with weight today Lori? I don't know if Tammy does weight in on Fridays.

have a nice week-end

Leila

Hello!

I weigh in everyday!  169 today.  I write down my weight on Mondays now. I weighed 169 on Monday too.  I do Monday's so I'll behave on the weekends. It keeps me in line having to think I have to write down my weight on Monday and I don't want to show a gain. LOL

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Tammy

Hi girls. Weight was good today, staying around the same.

I don't know if you saw the weather up here on the news toda. A tree fell on my daughters car and she doesn't have any electricity. They are hoping to have the wires fixed by Monday. With no electricity that means no heat, so they are all at her sister in laws for the weekend. Wanted them here, but as long as they are safe I'm happy.

Very long and tireing day, so I am of to relax.

Hope all is o.k with your son Tammy and glad your eyes are doing better Leila.

If you don't hear from me this weekend it is because I have a ton to do tomorrow and I am working a 14 hour shift on Sunday,

Have a great weekend.

Hi girls,

Lori, i have heard about the weather where you live, that's really horrible. I hope that your daughter will have electricity back this week. We have very warm weather this week, in 60s and that is crazy. I am really tired of the temperature jumping from cold to warm and back. I backed the cookies as i planned on week-end and put the tree together, decorated it too. I started to wrap the presents and did half of them yesterday. So i am in good shape. I went to the gym on Saturday morning and spend there good hour. But i overslept my class time on Sunday. We are planning to go the gym tomorrow with my husband.

have a great day

Leila

Hi!

Weighed in today at 172.2, just great!  Can't exercise bc of the latest with my back and now I have a torn miniscus in my right knee.  what else can go wrong?  So I've given up with losing weight for now and I'm going to maintain my 169-172 area until I get healthy again. 

It's too hard to concentrate on weight loss with my body falling apart on me! lol

It's warm here today, 60*.  But falling temps through the night and a winter storm watch for Tuesday night and all day Wed.  I have to drive to the drs on Wed too, about 40 minutes away. Yikes!

I saw that in the mid-west there is snow all over the place!  Crazy!  Even Northern Texas is cold!

Hi Tammy,

I am sorry to hear  about your problems. I can imagine it is hard to try to loose weight when you have problems like that. If you will be able to maintain the weight you have now, that will be great. Good luck!

The weather is different in  different places in Maryland, where i live. We don't have any snow here, only rain and it is 40F now. I am under my calories and probably won't be able to go to the gym during the week, only on the week-end.

have a nice day

Leila

Hi!  I'm trying to maintain and I've gained a few pounds.  I guess that's normal though.  I read that in the maintaining forum.  I hope it settles and comes back down soon!

We didn't get that storm they were talking about.  It snowed abut 2 inches then rained.  It didn't get bad at all.  So I'm glad it just rained.

It's hard to get in gym time when this time of yr everyone is so busy.  Don't be hard on yourself.  X-mas is only once a yr, enjoy it!  :)

Hello, sorry I haven't been around at all for a week. I have been so busy with work, Christmas, kids and Grandkids.

I feel bad for all the last minute shoppers around here. I'm sure many were planning on shopping this weekend, but that doesn't look good for them now. It is going to start snowing this afternoon and they are saying about a foot by morning. So happy that I finished my shopping early.

 I have a 14 hour shift tomorrow, I don't know  how I wil ever make it in on time. Will have to dig my car out and shovel the drive way to get out. Thank God for men, I know I wouldm't be able to do it. I have to be in at 7am, so I will have to leave here by 6am, because of the weather. I guess he will have to start to dig my car out at 4:30 or 5. ugh!

From now until Christmas I will be so busy I can't stand it, I'm looking forward to it, but will be happy when it is over lol

I lost a pound, I don't think it was from being good, I think it was all the running around.

Leila you always manage to keep going to the gym, glad you are doing so well.

Tammy enjoy the holidays and get better, then worry about the weight. I'm not planning on trying to lose until after the holidays and I don't have a good reason.

Well I have to run out to the store before the be storm hits, have to get all the food I wanted to get next week. I hate when plans get all messed up, but have to do it this way.

On top of it all my friends mom passed away and I have to go to a wake this afternoon. I feel so bad they are going through so much and will have to deal with the weather as well. I don't know what they are going to do tomorrow is the funeral and we will have a foot of snow.

I hope you girls have a great weekend. I will try to get on here this week coming up, but don't know if I will have a free minute.

HI Girls,

I didn't loose anything this week, still 134. But i know the reason, i am  not eating my calories, i am always under. When i come home from work we have dinner and then i  can't eat a lot after that. If i am hungry i can eat Kellog's special K , which i love, that's 160 calories and maybe frozen yogurt which is 90. So i end up beeing under my calories every day. Need to eat more on Christmas  

I am sorry to hear about your storm, Lorri. We have just rain and clouds and fog. It doesn't feel like Christmas at all. Now, it is so dark outside that it feels like night and the temperature is 40F. So i guess no snow for us. We went to the Borders last night and there were so many people there doing last minute shopping, it's amazing. I am so glad that i am done with that.

Maintaining is probably as harder then to loose weight. Good luck to you, Tammy. And  you are right, i will enjoy Christmas and New Yors without thinking too much about gym. I am planning to go on Saturday, we will see if i will be able to. We have a lot of stuff to do.

Enjoy your week-end, girls. Lorri, i hope you will find a minute to have  a rest and enjoy yourself.

Leila

Have a good weekend girls!  I'll get back later.  So busy....I'm one of the last minute people who run around like a chicken with its head cut off! lol

I've finished most of the shopping, but it was way too cold to go outside today. I have ice on the inside of my windows!  So I guess I'll be out xmas eve shopping! lol

Hope you all are safe and warm!  Talk to you later.

Tammy

Hi everybody,

Just have couple minutes to wish Merry Christmas, we are going to the party now.  I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!!

Leila

Hello????

Well, after xmas I shot up to 178 (27th) and today I weighed 174.2, so it's dropping now.

Hope your xmas was nice and everyone is safe.  Now to get thru the New Years food!  I think I can, I think I can!!! LOL

Hello girls,

I see that I'm not the only one that hasn't been on. I hope I will hear from you both again. I have been crazy busy with the holidays and work has called me in so much, that I haven't had any time for myself.

I must be honest now, I have not weighed myself in weeks, and I haven't been counting calories either. I have been eating like a pig, so I think I am going to feel really bad when I step on the scale. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, so I think I will wait until then to find out the damage.

I'll check back once in a while to see if you girls are ever coming back. I hope so, I'm going to need the support.

Did you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year? I hope so.

Lori

Hello everybody!

I had wonderful Christmas and New Year. I was  in my calorie range all this time and i did weight in on Friday, i didn't loose anything, still 134. I was very busy with all the parties and dinners with friends and really didn't have time to come on CC.

I am glad to see you, Lori

talk to you later

Leila

Hello,

I don't know where are you girls. I did weigh in this morning and i am one pound down, 133 pounds. I have one more pound to loose to reach my goal. I feel really great about that and feel even better. Went to the gym couple times this week.  HOw are you all doing?

Leila

Hi Leila,

Good job on keeping with the gym and cc......

I haven't counted calories in a long time, but I am keeping the weight off. I guess I did learn how to eat better and less after all.  I haven't been to the gym at all, but I feel really good.

My oldest grandchild is turning three on the 29th, so I am planning a trip to Florida in Feb. It will be just the two of us, going down to see my mom and family. I am really looking forward to it, I hate all of this snow.

I hope 2009 is treating you good, I'm loving it so far.

Will you set a new goal or try to maintain? I'm proud of you, all the hard work paid off.

Keep in touch,  miss talking with you every day.

Lori

HI Lorri,

I am so glad to hear about you and i am glad that everything is going good with you . I missed couple days counting calories and was all right. I think that i learned how to eat right, beeing in my calorie range. I don't go to the gym as often as i would like to, but i  feel good. I think that i will have new goal after i will reach 132, want to go down to 125. We will see how this will work for me.

Florida sounds great!!! We went  to St.Petersburg last year to visit my husband's friends and stayed at their house near the ocen. That was such a wonderful time, sun, sand and ocean. I can't wait to go back. Have fun,Lori, enjoy your family. I miss talking to you too.

This year started good, hopefully it will be this way all the way.

have a wonderful day

Leila

Anybody on here anymore???????????

I'm back and want to go strong....

Started back to the gym today and plan on sticking with it.

I gained 3 pounds in the last month, but thats alright I enjoyed not counting and eating everything over the holidays. I know I can lose it quick.

Taking my grandson to Fla on the 22nd of this month, that was his birthday gift from me. So I have to look good in my bathing suit lol

Let me know if you guys are ever on here. Hopw all is well...

Lori

Hi Lori,

I am coming every day to enter my calories and checked if  you were here. I am glad you are back. I have one more pound until i will reach my goal, but now i am thinking maybe i will have another goal to loose 5 more pounds. I am going to the gym 3 times a week now, try to but sometimes i miss it. Like last week we had winter storm and we didn't work for  two days. Then it was so cold that when i was home from work i really didn't want to get out.

Hope to see you here more often.

Leila
