[redslipper47]

Hi Everyone,

I think that we all are ready for another round. I know that I am more committed than ever. Lets try to get off of last place. It didn't help that we only had three member reporting in. Hopefully we will have 100% of our team for next time. I think we can make-up for some of this by getting our points. I am going to re-read our rules to see how I can get the most points I can. I haven't gone to the donut shop yet. I am going to do that this week. I just didn't feel strong enough before. Wish me luck.

Lynne, you are so committed to exercise. Any tips for us? Do you teach track? I am trying so hard to do some exercise each day. It is a mind game for me every day.

Rae, great going on losing another #. Stick with it girl.

Fla Girl, I hope you are feeling better and still with us. We need all of our team members for support.

Have a great week everyone.

HI everyone

Well as I just posted on the Golden board, my daughter just got engaged today and we are thrilled. I now have a new goal for losing weight, which is to look great at their wedding in August. The snow here is almost gone and I am starting my walking program tomorrow.

take care

Rae

[LynneO]

Rae - congratulations! Is this your first MOTB (Mother of the Bride) Wedding? Regardless, yes, you have new found motivation!

Dorothy - Walk away the pounds. I can't say enough about this program. Walmart has the videos and the DVDs. It's the no excuse tape. You can modify it either way - lower or harder. Yes, I also coach track and field. I don't run with the kids, LOL, but I have been coaching for many years and have a few that have gone on to college on track scholorships.

LOL - we are way down there on the list! Thats okay, so we are a little slow to start, we'll do just fine. I've never lost large amounts of weight quickly, I have to do this slow and steady.

[redslipper47]

Rae, congrat on your DD getting engaged. It will be a wonderful time for both of you. Talk about reason for losing weight. You have it now.

Lynne, Okay I will have to look for the tape. I do my treadmill and go to curves when possible.Winter makes it a little tough to get out. right now we have more snow.

Let's go ladies.

[pastis]

Hi everyone''

Yes Lynne it is our first wedding so we are pretty excited. I am going to look for those tapes as well. Dorothy I didn't eat after 8 last night , how did you do? The snow is almost gone so will be getting out for my exercise today.

take care and have a great day


rae

[redslipper47]

Rae,

I didn't eat after 8 either. I sure wanted to . I am really a nite time snacker. That makes 3 nites for me. How about you Lynne , are you a nightime eater also?

[LynneO]

OMG am I a late night eater! I have a serious eating problem. I eat dinner late because I am afraid I won't be full and will pick all night. I have to work on that this year.

[redslipper47]

LynneO, I had a nice long post and lost it. Thanks to the cat sitting on part of the Keyboard. Anyway, Rae was wondering if we should ask for some more team members. What do you think? I don't think that Mary is coming back and we have lost Shirl so it is just the three of us. How is the nightime eating coming for you and Rae? Me, I am hungry or just having a craving. Nite eating is such a habit with me. I am going for do day four. Stay Strong team

[LynneO]

I agree. I am sure there are some people who didn't get in and should. No word from Flagirl? Let's get some folks to join us! What do we have to do? Besides, the more the merrier!

good morning everyone

I am down to 223.5 today. total of 5.5 pounds so far. I am still sick with my cold and the snow has turned to pouring rain so have really fallen down in the exercise department. I will make up for it very soon. I am drinking lots of water and have stopped the night eating.

take care and have a great day

Rae

[redslipper47]

Hi Ladies,

Lynne, I will Pm Sweets today and ask if there are some other people that would like to join us.

Rae, sorry that you have a cold. Great going on the weight loss. You weather sounds about as good as mind. We have freezing temp right now. -18 with the wind factor. So I am staying in today.

I am doing well and hope to see a drop in the weight. I am going to weigh on Sun. I used weigh all of the time. How I feel about my day depended on if I lost or gained. No More.

Check with you guys later.

[redslipper47]

Hi Everyone,

i got a msg from Sweets. She will put us on the list. There should be a new roster at the end of the week. She said she is still waiting for people to tell her they are missing people.So we will be on the out look for some changes. How did you guys day go?

[pastis]

Hi everyone

I managed to stay on track today. There was a break in the rain around noon so I went for a 40 minute walk. I had to go and see my son's councellor to get some course changes for next term and then we went and bought him a tux for his sisters wedding. He will be able to use it for his grad next year as well. I only hope he doesn't grow too much in the next year. I am starting to feel better and will probably hit the gym tomorrow.


take care

Rae

[pastis]

Hi everyone

In the main locarb lobby there is a post callled What are the signs of ketosis. It is so funny, thought you might get a laughfrom it. Sorry I don't know how to put the link up here.

I am definitely feeling better and will be going to the gym tonight. 30 minutes on the treadmill and a 30 minute ab class that my daughter teaches.

take care

Rae

[redslipper47]

Rae,

that was too funny. What I want to know is did you take the test? If so what do your hands smell like. Idid the test and mine smell somewhere in=between. So I don't know. Wow, that is a lot of exercise. go girl

Hi to Lynne O, what is up with you today?

Finally better weather and I was able to get out of the house today. I think I had just a little cabin fever. Still sticking with no eating at 8. Sure is hard for me. I am committed.)

Talk to you guys later.

[pastis]

Hi everyone

Another day of heavy rain here, I am finally feeling housebound and ready to get out and get some exercise and fresh air.

How is everyone doing? For me it's time to dig in and get serious. I want to be at 220 by the end of the month. Will be getting in all my water today and really watching the carbs. I have some ribs cooked already so food shouldn't be too difficult.

take care and have a great day.

Rae

[redslipper47]

Hi Everyone,

Rae, I know just how you feel. We have had a lot of really cold weather. Today we had snow, snow and more snow. I think around 10inch. Our town was just on the dividing line for the snow. If you were on the east side of town you got a lot of snow. Not so much on the other side. Even thought the plow guy came there was a lot of trim work to do. My DH leg is bothering him so I had to help. I don't need any more exercise for today. I sure got mine in. How are you guys doing.?I am going to weigh in Sun.I sure hope I have lost something. I don't seem to be doing so well losing this x-mas weight. GRRRR. My pants are looser though. I hve really kept up the exercise. Lynne send me some nice fla weather. Even 50 would seem warm now.Later gang

[LynneO]

<------ this is the blowing the warm air your way (not the pukey face!

Hi girls, sorry I didn't post yesterday, I know not why!! My food has been really good. I don't weigh until tomorrow so I will see where I am at compared to this past weekend.

Glad to hear we may get some new folks. The more the merrier, as I said earlier. I am editing this post, for some reason I hit enter and the whole thing posted and now I can't see what you all have written. Pastis, congrats on the 5.5!

Track is going well, I hate to make cuts because it eventually levels out, kids quit or get in trouble.... I have both boys and girls with help from two other coaches but I feel the most responsible (probably because I've been doing this longer). I am also attempting National Board Certification for Teaching. It is a year long process that requires a lot of writing. If I do well, I make more money

So how is everyone? Is it warming up yet? Should I try harder!!!

Have a great evening.

[redslipper47]

Hi Everyone,

Lynne you are just going to have to try harder.LOL The temp today was -2 with a wind chill of minus-24. BRRRR, I did not go outside of the house today. I did my treadmill and another round this evenig. This is Baby shower weekend for me. I don't know if I will get to the BB very much this weekend. My DD is only 3 week away from her due date. Feb. 14.I think I have everything ready for her shower but will check the list a bunch of times to make sure. I am doing good. Soon I will check the old scale. Lynne like you I really don't lose fast. If I can lose a total of 5# for the month I will be happy.Lynne, I am sure that is a stressful part of your job. the kids are lucky to have someone so committed. What does Certification involve?

Rae, did you get your exercise in for today.?Did your DD like the Golf Course for her Wedding? Both of my DD's got married at a Golf Course and had they receptions there. Stay warm.

Have a good day Everyone.

[too much too long]

Hey Deep 6ers! I just poked my head in to say that I am very happy to see such a great group being formed by you guys. I see the dedication to this as a person and as a team That is just awesome and I hope that my voice of opinion will assure you that the Deep 6 the Pounds team will attain fantasic results. You are well on your way. Keep up the good work and continue to strive to get even better! Thx, Shawn

[LynneO]

Awww, how nice of Shawn to stop in and visit!

Hi ladies, I weighed in tonight and guess what, I lost 3 pounds this week, that is a total of 5. Dorothy, I am a slow loser so this is amazing to me. I will do my best to stay on track (anything for the team!).

Rae, how cool that your daughter teaches fitness classes! I am also glad to hear that you are feeling better. I was thinking about the past three hurricanes we had here in S. Fla. They sent us home from school early, told everyone to stay off the streets - 4 days before the storms hit. I had such a bad back from sitting around. You couldn't drive anywhere because the streets were covered with trees and such. I can only guess that this is what it is like for you all up north.

Dorothy - a Valentine's Baby, how sweet is that! Enjoy the showers as the mother of the mother to be! Thanks for the kind words regarding me being a teacher. I love my job!

Have a wonderful day, EAT CLEAN!

[pastis]

HI everyone

Thanks for dropping in Shawn.

Lynne, our weather here is nothing compared to the damage that Florida gets. Canadians on the west coast moan a lot about the weather but we really are very lucky here. Most of the year it is very mild so when we get a little snow or a bit of flooding we start whining. I mentioned that my middle daughter is just doing her first year of teaching so she has been subbing a lot. Today she told us she had a permanent job teaching grade 10 to 12 math. When she told that she was also getting a food class we all started laughing. She will be a greatmath teacher but this girl definitely cannot cook.

Dorothy we went and checked out the golf course for the reception and they have decided that this is the place they will book. It's very nice with a room that will hold 120 people plus a dance floor and a outside deck overlooking the course.
Tomorrow I will check to see if our rector will marry them at our church, we have a couple of dates so it should be ok.

My oldest daughter has set aside a time for me tomorrow to plan a workout program at the gym. Maybe I can get the food and the exercise in sync and make some headway here.

Well off to bed, take care and have a great day, Dorothy have a wonderful time at the shower.

Rae

[redslipper47]

Hi Ladies,

Another cold day here. Not really nice weather for the shower tomorrow but will just have to deal with it. Lynne, congrats on the losing. 5# is just great. I am going to weigh in the morning. I too am hoping for a five # for the month. Got my fingers crossed.

Rae, great that you have found a place for the wedding. That sounds like a great place to have her wedding. It is nice that your DD will take the time to help you with an exercise program.

Shawn, thank for the kind words. Our group is really trying. It would be nice to have some people added to our team. We may be small but we are COMMITTED. Just watch us go.

Thanks to both of you on the shower. I need the support. I am little concerned abut how many people will come since it is supposed to be snowing some tomorrow. Well, I can't change that. Will hope for the best.

[LynneO]

Hi Ladies, just a quick check-in. Hope you are staying warm, Dorothy - what a snow storm.

L

[redslipper47]

Ladies, I posted our new thread in the wrong place. I guess I am really just too tired. any way you will find it on just the plain Century Club . Maybe they will move it for us. I sure don't know how to do it. Oh, well.

[pastis]

Hi everyone

I asked the moderator to move your post over here Dorothy, we'll see what happens.

I'm glad the shower was successfull, in spite of the snow. It sure isn't hard to go off track on these occasions, especially when everyone else is enjoying themselves.

I went with my daughter and her bridesmaids today to a wedding fair. It was neat to see all the vendors and get some ideas. It will certainly be an interesting 6 months coming up.

I am off to the gym first thing in the morning after I drop my son off at school. I'll see if I can remember the program my daughter set out for me.

Well off to bed.

take care

Rae

[LynneO]

I'll find the correct post - can't help but wonder what you girls are doing up so late!!!!
