A pound gone, when you were expecting a gain?? Oh, that I would be so fortunate. That damn peanut butter stuck to me and I didn't lose at all. But I did maintain, and for that I 'PRAISE THE LORD" because He knows, I had nothing to do with it. lol

Morning to you too Sandy.I honestly didn't think I would loose anything this week due to everything you mentioned. I guess I don't know my body as well as I thought.

Congrats to you on your maintain. Next week you will be loosing again! Just remember the saying " Taste good on the Lips, don't loose so good on the Hips" when you feel like reaching for that peanut butter jar again!

Well I am off to do more cleaning. I just wanted to check in with my fellow heartbreakers quickly while I am waiting for the bathroom floor to dry! Love you all good luck!

Hi, I'm new here. A couple of people suggested that I join this wonderful group. How do I join? What are the requirements? Please fill me in. I'm on a renewed roll with losing weight and could sure use the encouragement. If I can fit into this group please let me know.

Well I maintained this week, not a big surprise after the milk and pie incident. Also I think it is TOM time, I can't tell for sure, had a partial hysterectomy after having my son, but I'm VERY cranky today hubby also said "it must be your time of the month, your never like this."

Congrats to everyone!!!

Hey everyone! I lost 3 lbs. this week. I have been doing so well,then yesterday I had my first off day. One of my co-workers brought in a bag of paul newman's own double chocolate mint chip cookies,for a team mtg. we didn't open them at the meeting,so she insisted that I bring them home for my boys.
I thought that I'd be okay,because I'm not much of a mint fan. But then as my son's were snacking on them I looked at the bag,and of course it says "all natural"and "made with organic flour",so I had a handful, then another, then another, then I looked at the nutritional info. on the side,it wasn't so good! Paul Newman did me wrong!lol But they are very good. I had already said that I was down 15 lbs.which means 3 lbs. this week, on the christmas challenge,so I was nervous when I got up this morning and got on the scale. But luckily everything was okay,I know I am now babbling. Just take my warning, stay away from that paul newman guy, he can be a bad bad man!lol

Hi Michele, welcome to Heartbreakers! I think if you just send a message to Tiffany she'll put you on the roster. Then we weigh in every Saturday, that's all there is to it. Every week you'll find a new thread, usually starts on Sunday, this one is Heartbreakers #27, next week will be Heartbreakers #28.... Just check in and tell us a little about yourself, how it's going, what your goals are for the week and give a little support where it's needed....... that's about it. This is a wonderful team for support and motivation. Being on a challenge team makes losing fun. Heck, it even makes maintaining fun. (nothing makes gaining fun, but it keeps us from giving up)

Hey, I almost forgot.... I did the 5K this morning. It only took 55 min. and it was actually 4 miles because the finish line was 1/2 mile from the parking lot. AND I wasn't last. We passed two people! I knew I could do it!

SANDYYYYYYY WOOHOO! congrats! That is a sensational accomplishment. I am so proud of you

Michele you're finally here!! It's good to hear from you! Welcome to Heartbreakers!! You will meet so many supportive friends here!

So, I've lost one pound this week. I'm not complaining, I'll take it! Congrats to everyone who's lost or maintained and for those of you who gained don't worry now's your chance to start doing better for next week, good luck!
