Yup...they must have shrunk! I didn't lose and I didn't gain...still 169...but in my defence it's "that time" for me. sorry, too much info!

If it's THAT TIME and you stayed the same, you are doing great. I always gain 2 to 3 pounds. It comes right off after the first few days though.
Susie

yeah, well " it's only just begun " ( I'm singing this right now )! Hopefully I can say the same thing when it's over! LOL

I'm down a pound from last Sunday. I better getting moving if I'm going to be down 10 by June 1st
How is everyone doing????????
Susie

Good for you Susie! I'm doing okay...but the chocolate cravings are insane! I'm managing them though...the best I can.

Thanks!
I sometimes will keep chocolate treats on hand that are small and I tell myself that one will do the trick and it does.
Have a nice Sunday.
I plan to head out of a walk once it warms up. It is only 43° here this morning.
Susie

I just went for my walk. I tad chilly on the way as the wind was hitting me in the face but on the way back it was so nice I had to tie my windbreaker around my waist.
I made it all the way to the road that I normally walk to. Each week I had been going a little further each time. The walk is a total of 2 1/2 miles which is just right. It took me 40 minutes. I don't think that is too bad. I'm out there to exercise not to kill myself. LOL!
Have a great day.
Susie

Hi Ladies, I haven't been able to check in for a while. Both of my computers died and I am waiting for claims to replace them so after this, I probably won't be back on for another week. I'm still hanging in there and going for the 10 pound loss by June 1. I finally got over the sinusitis and bronchitis and now it is "that time" so I am too nervous to even get on the scale. I should have some good news by the time I can get back online though. good luck to everyone!

I was wondering where you went. I was hoping to hear that you were feeling better so that is good.
Will be watching for your report/weigh in when you get back on line.
Susie

Hi everyone, I'm still in for the 10# challenge, but haven't weighed b/c it's "that time". Of course, I have my half-marathon this weekend, and wouldn't you know it would be TTOTM.

I made the most delicious brownies this week, and it was hard staying away from them. Last night I finally threw them out, since I have no self control.

Glad to hear you all are hanging in there, too.

Michelle

Michelle,
I bet you will be down when you go to weigh yourself.
I can control the eating pretty good but I just can't seem to make myself move around much.
Susie

Today is my weigh in day and I stayed the same. No excuses. I haven't been walking all that much and I must be eating too much too.
I will do better this coming week.
Susie

I'm up, too, but I'm telling myself it's b/c of TTOTM and b/c of all the water I drank today. It was my half marathon! I did it! Yea me!!! AND the best part was I wasn't the last person to finish, I did okay. Tomorrow I'll start watching what I eat a little bit closer, today I had pizza and fried calamari to treat myself for running 13 miles.

No more running for me for a while. I'm kinda tired of it.

You STILL are having TTOTM????????? Seems like it has been weeks.
Congrats on finishing the marathon.
Keep moving.
Susie

it DOES seem like it has been weeks.

Are you going to exercise today?

It is raining HARD here. I just got back from shopping and I walked for about 2 adn 1/2 hours.
I will walk tomorrow afternoon. It is suppose to clear up.
Susie

OMG I am ravenous today and cannot control my eating. I know I burned around 1300 calories on sunday, but I have more than made up for them! Ack! Tomorrow I am starting over.

Atta girl. Don't give up!
I've only walked once so far this week. It is so frigid (32°) and wet here. I hope when I get back from the doctors that it has warmed so I can go.
Susie

Today is my weigh in day. I stayed the same. Earlier in the week I was down two pounds. DRAT!
How are you all doing?
Susie

Hello Ladies, Wow it seems like it's been forever since I've been on CC. I am still waiting for the claim to be processed so I can get a new computer. Not having access to a computer is horrible so I probably won't be on again for a while after this posting.

My weight has been up and down, but I am actually still down the initial 3.5 pounds. I'm still in the challenge though!

Yesterday, I ate so much junk it was ridiculous. It was not of my choosing. I was at the hospital all day with my niece and the cafeteria was closed, only the snack bar was open. My niece is 6.5 months pregnant, has toxemia and was admitted to the hospital on Friday. They are planning to do an emergency C-section today to deliver the baby. If they don't my niece could have a stroke or the baby could die. They think the baby will weigh about 1.5 lbs, but that she will have a good chance of surviving. Please keep my niece and the baby in your prayers. Thanks so much.

Oh me too....my gut is jiggly mass. And I have been on a cupcake kick lately, which is not helping! Bathing suit season is going to be hard this year!

Adonis and Cakediva,
Hope you both the best in getting the weight off.
I made my first cake this weekend since January and that MAY be why I didn't loose. I made a blue and white snowflake because my first daughter in law loves blue and snowflakes.
Have a nice Sunday,
Susie

If I could just stop munching my way from 9Pm to 1 am - I would be much better off.

Give yourself a REWARD if you stop munching in those times for a month. NOT a food reward. Something like a new pair of jeans, a kitchen item or something like that.

Susie

DON'T TOUCH and don't EAT but here is the snowflake cake I mentioned.

That cake is so pretty, susie! Good job. I made 2 loaves of banana bread over the weekend and sent one with dh to work, so that I wouldn't snack on it.

My weight is back on track. Unless something drastic happens, though, I won't be down the 10# by June 1. I'll keep trying though!

If I am MIA, it is because my computer has died. DS stuck a nail in the side of it (he's 3), and it has been acting all weird ever since.

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for liking my cake. I gave what was left to the neighbors.
Glad to hear your weight is back on track. You never know girl......you very well could be down the 10 by June 1st.
Our son's computer is down too and my husband is going to try to fix it. He borrowed one of our old ones until he gets it ready.
Keep at it,
Susie

Today is my weigh in day. I'm down two pounds. I've lost five so far. I need to lose 5 more by June 1st.
How are all of you doing?
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
Susie

Just got back from the playground with my 5 year old grandson and after a 2 and 1/2 mile walk in 40 minutes. OUCH!
YEHA.
Susie

I ran 8 miles last night and plan to do the same today, so maybe I'll be down when I weigh in tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Happy Mothers Day!

Michelle
