Good Morning everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of Juy!
We got to the fireworks and met up with the kids and grandkids (brought a grandkid home with me too)! It tooks us about 20 minutes to get there and 2 hrs to get out and get home!
I had a loss of 2lbs. this week. I stuck to plan so well considering I was off work. I was hoping for a bigger loss, but heck, I will take it! I am back to work on Monday, my plan should be easier to stick to then.
Have a great day everyone!

I don't understand why I didn't loose weight this week. Don't get me wrong I am happy I didn't gain anything, but with all the walking I have done over the last two weeks I would have thought that I would have lost something. I will just have to try harder next week. I am just worried because I have been trying really hard and nothing seems to be working.

On a side note, my in laws decided to surprise us yesterday and they called and said that they would be at our house at 6pm to take us to dinner. They also wanted to see how our yard was coming along, since we have been working really hard on it. Well when my mother in law got out of their car, she was like oh my gosh Julie you look wonderful. I can't believe how good you look, how much weight have you lost now? That made my day yesterday. They have seen me all along, but usually I am wearing jeans and a T-Shirt. Yesterday I had on shorts and a tank top and you could really tell I had lost the weight. The clothes were actually the right size as opposed to baggy stuff I have been wearing.I hope that comment will Motivate me enough to continue this.

Well I am off to go paint our back porch. I will check back later. Maybe I will even take pictures of my backyard to share with you all. You can see my garden.

Ok so I just weighed myself again. And now it says that I lost a pound. So I guess my scale decided to work now. ANyways I am happy with my pound loss. Yeah me!

Hi everyone, I'm here and I'm happy to say I maintained. Like I already told Julie, I had a little mix up with 'points' last week and it is truly a miracle I didn't gain. (of course there is always the danger of that rascal, 'Residual Weight Gain' waiting for me to let my guard down) lol Let's hope not. I hope you all had a safe and happy 4th. I think I'll go blog last week's adventure into the wonderful world of 'points'. Good luck on your weigh ins!

HI EVERYONE,

HOPE YOU ALL HAD A SAFE AND FUN FOURTH. IS APRIL THE ONE WE ARE SURPOSE TO SEND OUR WEIGHTS TO THIS WEEK. I HAVENT SEEN OR HEARD FROM HER SO I WAS WONDERING IF MAYBE SHE WAS TAKING THE WEEK OFF OR SOMETHING I KNOW HOW BUSY SHE HAS BEEN.

JULIE I LOVE YOU VACATION PICS. LOOKS LIKE YOU AND YOUR HUBBY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. AND YES YOU CAN REALLY TELL IN THE PICS ALSO THAT THE WEIGHT IS COMING OFF OF YOU, YOU LOOK SO GOOD AND I KNOW YOU FEEL BETTER.

THANKS FOR THE CONGRATS JC

WOW TWO MORE LBS, YOU ARE THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN BETTE JO

OK JULIE, I NEED ANOTHER CHALLENGE SINCE THE JULY FOURTH ONE IS OVER. I KNOW YOU WANTED TO DO THE NEXT ONE AND I LIVE FOR THEM. OR SHOULD I SAY I LOSE FOR THEM HEHE. WELL IT JUST GIVES ME SOMETHING TO AIM FOR.

YOUR PICS HAVE INSPIRED ME TO TALK MY HUBBY INTO GOING ON A TRIP NEXT SUMMER.

I gained 1 lb. this week. My problem was that i didn't have the money to buy my healthy foods until Friday so I tended to snack too much because I wasn't eating right. I was trying to just eat less but it did not work for me. Obviously the wrong carbs are just going to make me eat more. Duh! We were low on money and the last couple of weeks I had to make it stretch. Well ya know fruits and vegetables are expensive. I can't wait to start my garden. AND we have wild grapes out here too! woohoo. I bought a new scale yesterday so I can really get an accurate read-out.

Congrats to all the Losers and maintainers. I am so proud of you! I'll be joining you next week, so keep it up, keeps going, keep focused, keep rockin!

Tiffany: U asked for suggestions for staying on track with your eating. Wash raw veggies and pack in zip top bags to have in your refrigerator. The same goes for your fruit. Make sure you are eating at least 5 svgs. per day of fruits and vegetables. It fills you up. HTHs

ok where is everyone

Here I am, here I am! Although I'm not weighing in. I HATE to do it, but..


I'm taking a few weeks off. I promise I will be back by August 1st However, I just need to focus on other things now. I PROMISE you all I will be back, with wedding pictures!!! I will also be stopping in to visit. But I'm just too busy-- I even forgot today is weigh in day. So, I need this time to work on getting my wedding together and getting ready to move. Whew!!

If someone else wants to start the new threads for the next few weeks, please do so...
