I think we all probably need to work on that excuse thing. Good luck with your goals.

Goals for the week:
C25K Daily - week 2 3 days, week 1 the other days
Water - make sure I get it all daily
Sleep - 7 hours a night
Mind - take time to study the things I need to and something creative daily. My kids get up 2 hours after me and go to bed 3 hours before me, no reason I can't manage this.
Just because - take a "meat" recipe and make it vegetarian and still tasty.

Good luck on your goals Diane, and with your recipe, if you do that one, be sure to share it with us.

That losing/gaining crap happens to all of us I think. Maybe we can all lose this week. Good luck.

I told him that if he pooped on the toilet for us, I'd let him ride on three rides (since he's 3 years old). He's been flat-out refusing to go on the toilet no matter WHAT kind of incentives we've offered. Well, he didn't go AT ALL on Friday and all day Saturday, but finally Saturday night at 9:30...he said he had to go, so his big brother took him & he did it!!! He asked to go on the rides...couldn't have come at a worse time, since the band that plays my favorite song just came on stage ("Praise You in This Storm" by Casting Crowns). I've NEVER seen them play live, but my son was SO excited...how could I NOT skip the song and run him over to the rides??? And it was SO worth it!!! (p.s. I woke up this morning to him running to the bathroom shouting "I have to go poopie"!!!...and he did it again!) I know, it's those little things in life that get a mommy excited, LOL.

Anyway, because of this festival, which went from Wednesday to today (Sunday)...I've put on 2 pounds - so my goal for the week will be to get that back off by Friday. Hope you all have a great day & good luck with your goals!!!

Congratulations LoriAnn, those are exciting things. hope he keeps up the good work and you too, get those two pounds off and another one or two and keep them off, you can do it.

Lets all pull together this week for a loss...we can do it!!!!

Hey guys! I am hoping to get some SERIOUS numbers this week since I started my phentermine regimen again. Cross your fingers for me, still fighting the good fight of quitting smoking... seems the boyfriend doesnt help AT ALL. Here are my goals:

1. Water water water
2. Stop smoking COMPLETELY without help from patches, gum etc.
3. Keep taking my phentermine and vitamins
4. DIG MY MANUAL TREADMILL OUT OF STORAGE AND USE IT!
5. Try to stop being so down and hard on myself and learn that life is what it is and everything will be ok.

Self esteem is WAY down lately. Not only being overweight but I feel like I am over stressed and going to break down any minute. Then I get mad at myself for not being able to deal. ugh!

I agree 100% with your goal #3 Today was the last of the parties for me for awhile. Graduation, birthday, and 4th parties are finally over... Now let's get serious....
