I'm not really sad....I'M HAPPY....

Hi to Colleen....since your the only one other than Carol posting....
I'm really happy it's Friday and I have lost 5 lbs!!
I'm really happy and I'M GOING TO WIN THAT MONEY.....oh...I guess it's not much to get excited about....it's just $40.

I was really unable to workout too much this week....the heat was my workout.
I am doing well to stay away from sweets...less I have the less I crave.....
Hope to post next week the same...
My goal is 2 lbs each week. I feel that's a realistic goal and one that's attainable.
Goals should be SMART
S-Specific
M-Measurable
A-Attainable
R-REALISTIC
T-Trackable
Have a great weekend....
Carol ...thanks for making tuna salad for me for dinner!

Kim is sad that no one is blogging her

Just to let you know that Kim is a tad sad that everyone is so technophob that they dont want to blog and expose their chunky thoughts:)

I am personally thrilled that it is Friday and I can chill over the weekend and get some exercise in!

Colleen--sites for you to look at per request

http://hubpages.com/search/weight+watchers where you can find the points for the diet.....scroll down the page and look at #95 Robin

http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/57042.html THis is helpful---consider one point 45 calories

Bad Girl---Week One

OK, so I did lose the 2 pounds, but cheated. I am bummed because I should have lost more, but let temptation sneak in;) I am certain that the only thing saving me was increased exercise. Guess all you can do is try again!!

Hi to all,
It's Sat. and I think the week is going well.
We started on Tues., so a few more days left.

Where's everyone at?

It's Wednesday....the start day....at least for Carol and I ....actually we started yesterday.
Colleen and Ron are in...but starting on Monday.
I guess most people don't read e-mail till weekends...it's my business to read mine so I check quite frequently.
I was excited to start the blog and will continue.
Kathy is trying to get to blog...which I imagine most are.
I feel good about no bread so far this week.....the ice cream substitute has worked well...(just kidding)
Carol and I have worked out the last two mornings. Not posting to brag, but to have someone to be accountable to.
Good Night!

Ugh;)

So, we have stolen the points information for the Weight Watchers and we have started counting already. We have come the the resolution that it took a while to get here and it will take a while to get back to fighting weight---I am taking the Zen approach of "its a process" My best to all! Cheers!!

Dennis, Kelly....

Dennis and Kelly,
We could use your expertise and support.....I know you have been doing this with your family, but we could use your help and suggestions to help us along the way!!

Hope you'll join us but I would say you don't really need to lose anymore weight.
Maybe post your exercise sessions and challenges.
Let us know what you think

Good Morning!

http://www.webwalking.com/googlemap.htm

Welcome to the Chip away challenge

CHIP(S) AWAY CHALLENGE

Start Date: August 15
WHY…Why not…it seems peole are always starting on Mondays, why not Wednesday!

What’s the challenge?
To participate you will agree to give $20 to the person who loses the most weight by December 15th. There will be two categories Men and Woman

Why the group?
I think the more we have doing it the funnier it will be and the bigger the support group.

How do we know someone is not lying?
We ask that you have your spouse or partner or friend weight you in at the beginning and at weigh ins. And just like golf…you will be your own official!!!

Do you have to tell the group how much you weight?
NO….just your friend, spouse or the person weighing you in


The first week, I am challenging myself to have NO bread, you may join me or just support me. Your welcome to throw out your own challenges when or if you want.
Carol and I tracking our walking this week and are challenging ourself to walk 5 miles within the week.

In The beginning

Hi to all...
One day to count down..hope all are ready.
Carol and I are looking over our Weight Watcher info, trying to figure out what we can have and what we can't.
I'm looking forward to having everyone join us!!!
