Gonna Try Again.....

[gja1000]

OK Janet - it's 'ALMOST' Thursday. So, how did you do this week? It's time to check in with your weekly report.

I did good this past week, except for last night. I'm a binge eater and to keep from binging, I pretty much have to avoid my trigger foods (chips mostly). I stayed with my mom last night as my daughter was out of town and she had some chips in the house. I had avoided them the night before - but last night I thought, "I'll just eat a handful" I KNOW better, I can't stop when I start on something like chips.

Oh well, I've done great today, so all is not lost.

Oh, I have to go to a banquet with Gary and his family in 3 weeks - and his ex-wife will be there. I've GOT to look fabulous, don't you think???

I thought I was doing pretty good, but only lost one pound. I know it would help more if I wasn't sitting so much. I'm hoping to go out and clean the garage today while it's still in the 70's here. Tomorrow we start heading to the 90's...yuk.

I didn't weigh myself all week...I've decided to weigh myself only on Thursdays. I also forgot to drink more water....I need to do that too.

I think the exercise is more important than we think. I also don't exercise and it is talking so long to lose even one pound!

It's too hot to really walk or work out in the summer though. Can you go swimming somewhere? That's good exercise and it cools you down too! Maybe you can fill the bathtub with cool water and do some leg lifts, etc. in there! (I'm serious too)

One pound is GREAT, Janet!!!!

That means that you're going slow and steady.....which is what you're suppose to be doing!!! Try to get a little bit of exercise in.......why don't you buy that Zuma dance that's been on tv? I think that it looks fun......but also a killer for this heavy body!!! Ha!! Ha!!!! I can just see you doing it though!!!!! LOL

I had told the doctor that I would try to lose some weight and since I've been doing yard work and now I'm swimming I've lost about 7-8 lbs. I'm TRYING to swim everyday but it's not working well but when I do swim it's a real workout!!......not just floating around!! I absolutely LOVE to swim!!!

Yes, Gayle......I think that you need to look your absolute BEST when you meet Gary's ex!!!! That shouldn't be a problem though because you're such a beautiful woman anyway!!! Go buy an outfit that looks great on you!!!!.......Oh, and get Gary slicked up as well!!!!

Can we get those counters for weight on here to register what we're losing?

Count me in, too! I've gained 10 pounds back from the 40 I lost. You know we all need to look our best to meet each other..NOT! It's nice to have friends that you KNOW will like you no matter how you look But hubby's ex wife...well that's another story, lol!

What are those counters Diana? I'm weighing in at 139.5 this morning. I want to lose about 6 or 7 pounds. At this rate, it should take about two years.

I tried and tried to get one on yesterday but I don't think that this site allows them. Here's a site that has them. They're pretty cool! You put them where your signature goes and it shows everyone how much you've lost.
