Hey guys! I wandered back to this site tonight after quite a while. After reading through some posts, I realized that I sincerely miss this group and the online fellowship. :( Anyway, I hope you all are well! For the record.....I'm still trying to lose weight. ;)

Anyone around?!

Hey everyone!

I'm not really concentrating on weight loss at the moment... being around 21 weeks pregnant with number two, but I am trying to eat healthy, although it doesn't always work, especially with the morning sickness hanging around and making cooking more of a struggle.

weigh in

Hey all- So I know the whole weigh in-blog thingy is up in the air right now, but I decided to post a weigh in today anyway. :) So is you feel like it- post your digits!

I am hanging in there at 147. I do well during the week, but overdo on the weekends. Breaking that cycle is my goal. Oh and I signed up for a 5K in May. I'm running regularly and really excited about completing the race.

Ponderings

Hey folks, I'm really sorry that I've been letting this site slide. We've had some pretty intense stuff going on (that's personal, so I don't want to stick it out there on the internet, although I will happily tell you if you email me wanting to know).

I don't really know what to say. I know that I need to lose weight, and I know that I'm trying, if not always succeeding, but I don't really know if this site is really being useful or if it's just become something that's weighing us all down. The original idea of OWOA was to inspire, to encourage, to support, to share ideas and recipes, to share highs and lows. At the moment this blog seems to just be a calendar that we jot down our weights on and then wander away for another week. Is it helping people or shall we just give up on flogging a dead horse?! I don't want to lose the friendships I've made around here, but I'm not sure that this site is really doing anyone any good. Thoughts anyone?

hey y'all

Good morning folks.

Can't weigh in today cos no batteries in the wii remote and I couldn't find any to replace the dead ones! Also my poor baby has a really high temp so I'm concentrating on looking after her.

Monday....Let's weigh!

Hi ladies,

Debs, I hope you don't mind that posted the weigh in today.

Report the numbers.

Sorry it's late..

Hey y'all, sorry I didn't post yesterday. Took M to the dentist and he had teeth out, so I had two people to look after for the rest of the day!

How's it going? Things slowed down a bit for me. I think it's more the fact that I'm actually able to eat again, having hardly eaten anything last weekend cos of the sore throat.

Monday Monday, it's here again

I am one poorly Mama. Started off thinking it was flu, now I'm thinking tonsillitis. Whatever it is, it's nasty.
How are y'all?

New year, new resolve

Good morning folks!

I think I've found my weigh-loss mojo again. Hurrah! On New Years Eve I decided, right that's it, and it's going well. You can do it too!

(I'm blogging day by day at my weightloss blog, so you can go and see how I'm doing if you want!)

Post Christmas Weigh-in

Do you dare?!

Wishing you all...

... a very Happy Christmas

And see you on Monday for our next weigh in! (And this week I will weigh. I will. I will!)

oh goodness

Monday's here again.
Oh dear, I am so out of my 'weigh on a Monday morning' routine. Anyone else weigh? I will try to remember for tomorrow morning.

Monday weigh-in

Good Monday all!

It seems like the site is starting to slow a bit again. I know this is a busy time of year, but I am going to try to remember to post, even through the holidays. Don't feel obligated to respond, if you don't have time. I just need to accountability of the blog to stay on track.

My numbers today are 153/153/125/ No change.

That is actually a good thing for me. I have been to a couple of Christmas parties over the past few days and there was LOTS of "off-limits" foods. I managed to stay on track anyway! Now, that's a big deal. Anyway, happy Monday to you all.

Hello!

So, it looks like I was not the only one to miss Monday's weigh-in. I've been traveling for work and did not have a scale. However, I officially started back on phase one of South Beach yesterday. Not sure if I will go for the full two weeks before starting phase two, but we will see. Hope you all are well. I have a post I would like to get out soon. It's been a really tough year. Major life happenings. For some reason, I've been unable to get the words out. Soon.

Going lower?

Hey y'all.


GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!


That's my frustration at myself for not only failing to lose weight, but putting some back on. I know what I have to do, and yet I don't do it. I don't know how to stop sabotaging myself :(

Looks like a Tuesday weigh-in

Hi all- I know everyone is busy with Thanksgiving coming up. Monday came and went with me totally forgetting to weigh-in. So here's to Tuesday! Have a great week!!

Yuckity Yuck

How was your week?

Around here I think we have finally throw off the germ cloud (although Sophia's been snott-ing lots the last couple of days, but I'm putting that down to reaction to injections on Friday). Anyway, we got out in the sunshine for a walk today. It was crisp, but beautiful. I'm planning for the to bethe start of a lot more exercise around here.

I also need to get it together with my eating. When I prepare ahead and make a batch of something like veggie curry or sausage casserole to eat for breakfasts or lunch I find it so much easier to steer clear of carbs. On the other hand, if I'm not prepared, I end up eating carbs all day long!

And cos of that I was up 2lb (if not a bit more) this week. I DO NOT like that. Although I know it was my own fault

The plan continued

Well, I'm still working on getting better. Will we ever stop being ill here at chez Debs? The plus side of it is that apparently I haven't had much of an appetite this last week and have finally lost more than that one pound I've been losing and gaining for the last few weeks.
My chest is still pretty tight and I'm coughing lots, so I'm not really ready for exercise as such yet, but when I can, I'll be deliberate about trying to fit exercise into my day.

How about you?

Debbie, if you're not already, get back to logging your food (and please, I'd love to read a post about that). And keep drinking that water.

ChristyF, how are you managing with smaller portion sizes? And have you got that regular gym habit down now?

Happy New Month

How do you plan to make November an effective month for you with regards to weight loss and exercise?
Weigh in, and let us know if you have a plan. I've realised I need a plan, and thus, I will attempt to create one!
