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!!!

It's so great when the kids accomplish something new. This benefits all around.. LOL Tell him congratulations...

My goals for the week-
1. get the scale moving down instead of up... You know that that scale has a mind of it's own... LOL
2. eat healthier, visit the farmers market
3. Get my 18 year old son how before midnight, so I can get some much needed rest and not be stress out...
4. Cheer everyone on..
5. Work on getting Melissa to post a smile on her photos... mellissa smile!!!

LoriAnn sounds like you had a fun weekend. It's great that your little on is working on his potty training...it is such a accomplishment when they finally are out of diapers.

Kristina good goal! Hang in there you can do it!

Melissa great goal ideas!

Great goals everyone...

I am having a very hard time with these last 6 pounds. Feel like I have been doing the same song and dance for the past 3-4 weeks. I do well Sunday - wed. then something happens and I am back to where I ended on Saturday for weigh in.

-I started week 5 again of the C25K. Hope to jog 20 minutes this week (did it right before vacation 2 weeks ago).
-drink more water
-try not to weigh myself everytime I into the my bathroom
-1400 calories daily

I'll try this again. I tried it earlier and it wouldn't let me post anything.

Goals:

Drink my water EVERYDAY, sometimes I fudge but don't tell Tanis.
Get more exercise.
Make healthier food selections.
See at least one pound less on the scale.
Be a better teammate.

Good luck Lia, you can do it. I understand about those six pounds, I'm having the same problems with sixty. Hang in there.
