We have about 50 people in the challenge .. and I'll be posting those names in a post later today so we can all reach out to each other. It is important that we pull together ... there is strength in numbers and many wonderful friendships to be shared.
Oh ... and don't forget to fill in your weight tracker .. we'll be checking! :p

Haven't weighed in a while with illness....been doing well to keep my head above water with my business and chasing teens. Back to it this coming Sunday for weigh-in again and see where we stand. ; )
Stable at 193 --- as long as no weight gained, I'm happy, but will work towards my goal for certain!
I don't weigh in until Tuesdays since that is when my ww meetings are and couldn't let everyone know until now!
I lost 2 lbs last week!!!!! I am so happy to start seeing the pounds come off!!!

You get the tracker to show by going to the bottom of your post and click on the blue "show ticker", then it will say "add one your tickers to the bottom of this post", click the downward arrow and it will show the available trackers, then just click on the one you want.
I'm doing weight watchers online so monday is my official day. I'm down 2 lbs this week.
BTW....how do you get the tracker to show up on your posts?

I'm not doing so well and did not feel up to weighing myself again. I think I'm more in a "hang in there" mode than a "make progress mode." Lots of other stuff and health issues. Will keep trying.

Thank you sssoooo much. We do what we gotta do and if passin' up key lime pie is what we gotta do, then we gotta do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so happy to hear that you have my abs covered and I certainly get the smiles from your posts!! You go girl. Hey wait a minute - I thought it was 10 crunches - with friends like you, I sure don't need any enemies. hahaha
And, yes, please do come shake up the doctor - I need something and not getting his help. But there's hope on the horizon ............... I see a new endocrinologist tomorrow morning and am hoping he's got some help for me - in both the energy and weight loss depts. Will let you know how that goes. Thanks

Barb, DO I HAVE TO COME DOWN THERE AND SHAKE THAT DOCTOR???
The old Lark and I will be excited to hear about the 20 crunches ;) , but the doctor better be listening to the REST! Something isn't right. Take care of your health, and we'll take care of your smiles (and your abs)!
Oh, MY! I could NOT have resisted the Key Lime Pie. I'm impressed.

It was my husband's birthday and I knew the piece of fudge was not going to derail my entire diet, since I'm sliding sideways down the track anyway. I'm not a chocolate eater, so very seldom eat it. So I agree, it's a non-issue, just felt I should "fess up".
I did neglect to mention the key lime pie that I made - I gave that whole thing away, without even a taste.
Due to certain stomach issues, I'm not supposed to eat within 2-3 hours of going to bed and as stated previously, often that's all the time I have between getting home and going to bed. I do usually have an apple and maybe some nuts or something real light in the evening, so I'm not starving. I eat my main meal at lunch time.
I'll have to try to get those crunches into my schedule. The old "tum tum" could use that toning. Thanks twehner5 and Skailark - keep us accountable!!

Barb - Am sure the thyroid condition has a lot to do with it. As for the piece of fudge, it is a non-issue. That will not make or break you ... so when you do have it periodically, enjoy it and savor it. Now, the not eating dinner is another thing. That is what says to your body .. I may be sick, I may be starving .. I need to preserve my energy. It also sends out signals to make you tired in hopes of saving any weight for when it may be needed.
From your schedule, see you are super super busy and have many irons in the fire. From that and your wonderful posts in the community, it is clear to see you are a giver. Try to keep your spirits up and know I am in your court. I have every faith you will forge through this although, understandably, know this is a slow process.
Love you bunches ..

Thanks for your comments and offer to help. I'm not sure what anyone can do right now, unless you have a "magic thyroid wand". The lab tests I had done a couple weeks ago showed that things are still not what they should be and I can only assume that's the majority of the problem.
I've kept my diet pretty much steady, in spite of the fact that we had/have several family birthdays this week and I had a house full of company today. But I weighed at 5:00 this morning, so that had nothing to do with it. I did eat a 1/2" X 1/2" square of fudge last night that I had made for my husband, but I don't think that had anything to do with the gain.
Work schedule gets brutal and most days I only have 2-3 hrs between getting home from work and going to bed, so work outs often have to take a back seat to tending husband/pets/home/yard/cooking/laundry, etc. A lot of nights I don't even eat supper. Still walking 3-5 miles/day should count for something!!
All that said, I just looked at the clock and it's now past my bedtime. Ya'll have a great evening.

Well, I was waiting for a nod from the DS. He appears to have gone AWOL.
We'll put our heads together about some good ab workouts.
I LOVE ab workouts! Did you know all other muscle groups have to have a day to rest between workouts...? BUT you'll be happy to know that the abs can be worked EVERY day! AIN'T GREAT NEWS?
Don't say you don't have time. If you just do 10 crunches/day, how long does that take? maybe 10 seconds? Do those every day and you've done 70 crunches this week.
THERE! That's your beginning class. AND, you won't be sore from 10 crunches, but I LOVE sore!!!

Hey, Drill Sergeant. The General wants us to do some crunches, eh? Something about being insubordinate, or something like that. I told her it was Y-O-U!
