Thanks ChristieK! Congrats on your weight loss! That is awesome! And I love your kitty pics...we have an orange tabby named Ramone. =)

Well, a friend and I are walking together now and we walked Mon-Fri this week with a walk planned for tomorrow as well. 1 hr total walking and 15 min on the Wii Fit everyday is what I've managed. I've lost 10lbs so far and already on the fifth day, I'm noticing how much easier it is to walk...

Woohoo! I've lost 10lbs now so I'm able to use the Wii fit!

Welcome Rainbow. I weighed in this morning and I've lost 5lbs this week! So, I think I'll change my Valentine's goal to lose 15lbs. :D

I bought my dh one for Christmas as he exercises regularily (6' 150lbs) and I knew that he would really enjoy it. I unfortunately need to lose a few pounds before I can really give it a go at all things. I had our youngest child step on it for my initial set up so I can at least do the things...

*raises hand* me! We already eat healthy...my dh is 6' and weighs 148lbs and none of my children are overweight. My dh has also taken over the cooking duties and is very health concious. My biggest issue is portion control. I eat way more than the "allowable amount" and I don't exercise...

A bit late but may I join too? I'm hoping to lose 10lbs by Valentine's Day. I've actually got a goal of 17lb by the end of Feb and I'm confident I can do it as I think I've set a realistic goal. But I've only just got back on my weight loss wagon and haven't managed a 100% effort week...

I just wanted to say hi "again". :o I joined MiniMins awhile back and was doing quite successful on the Jenny Craig diet until my dh got into an accident at work and almost lost his hand. So needless to say with an injured husband and 3 boys to take care of, life really took over and with him...

I just wanted to say that you shouldn't blame yourself Hel. I was 17.3 stones (242lbs) when I got pregnant with #1...it took us 15 months to get pregnant. 19.3 stones (270lbs) with #2 and it took about 8 months to get pregnant. 22.6 stones (317lbs) with #3 and it only took 3 months. I have...

Monday already for you! LOL...It's still 10:10pm here (Sunday night) for me. :D Very tired though as we had ds big birthday bash today. Will post tomorrow night...weigh in day tomorrow. Will not be good I'm afraid. :(

Hey everyone! Just checking in. Been so very busy yesterday and today. Good friends of ours had a baby girl the same day we had our youngest boy. Today is their birthday and her party was today. Our son's party is tomorrow (Sunday...it's only 11pm here, lol) and we're to have over 35...

WOW! Your doing amazing! Congrats!

Thanks Mini! I did get it! I asked dh to cook their dinner, it sure looked good but I resisted and stuck to having my meal only with a bottle of :tear_drop:! WOOHOO! So now it's 9:44pm and I plan to have my vitamin shake in a little bit and then off to bed so a gold star it is for me today! :D

Hope it went well and that your feeling better soon. :)

:wow:Congratulations!! You look GREAT!! How exciting for you! I hope you have a beautiful wedding. Your going to look gorgeous. Goodluck!

Mandie and Maislow!! Mandie...Congratulations on getting your first star! Maislow...WELCOME!! I think our men think they're being helpful when really they're not. So we have to let their comments go in one ear and out the other sometimes. ;) Stay positive and true to yourself and you'll...

oh yeah...forgot to mention that my next weigh in had to be changed to Monday. Probably for the best anyways since I did so horribly this week so far. Maybe I can redeem myself somewhat! LOL!

Glad to hear your computer is fixed Mini! I have got to take mine in too for a it's one year "fine tuning", however I can't imagine my 2 days without it! :p Well today was slightly better. Although as if I weren't stressed enough...my clothes dryer broke today. :( So now tomorrow we get a...

:wow:That is really impressive! You must be so encouraging to them and just goes to show that support does help doesn't it? Well done Ann! *thumbs up* :D

Hi everyone! Well, I suck. So sorry I haven't been posting. :( I have not been doing well for the past few days. This past weekend was so incredibly busy and then on Father's Day (Sunday) we went out for breakfast AND lunch...I was so bad on my diet. Almost as if I forgot I was dieting...

I lost my brain! :doh: Totally forgot to post about my day! :p Today was another good day...feel bad about posting since so many of you are having such hard times. But feel I need to share. This one better than most for many reasons other than having a good diet day. :D Today was sports...

HA! That really is awful, lol! p.s. Just wanted to mention Karion that my little guy just LOVES, LOVES, LOVES your avatar! He insisted on sitting on my lap the other day everytime I went on the computer (so I couldn't really type...like thank you baby! :rolleyes:) so I could mainly browse...

GREAT Job Nathalie! Your so close to getting your spinny star! Keep up the good work! :thankyou: I just realized I haven't changed my ticker yet! :sign0007: I'll have to do that before signing off. I agree!! :D Oh Sonya...I'm so sorry things are rough for you right now. Tomorrow is...

:wavey:Janey! Your welcome, I always mean what I say and encouragement for everyone here comes easy because you all inspire me and I'm really appreciating how this thread is motivating me. :grouphugg: Everyone here seems really nice and I'm so thankful I stumbled upon this site. :thankyou:

I'm here, just checking in today for the first time though! I was here yesterday...you not see my posts? :confused:

I have had a good day today (so far...as it's only 4pm here)! I've followed my diet completely and went for weigh in. Lost 1.2lbs since Tuesday (2 days ago)! :party0049: I just know I would have lost more too had I not eaten lunch and had 2 bottles of water beforehand!! That's what I get for...

GREAT job Janey!! Your well on your way as 4 stars is awesome!! I hope tomorrow is a better day for you too! Sad to think so many of you gals had not so good days today. :(

Thank you in return Janey! I'm so proud of myself for earning three stars already...today will be my fourth if supper and my night go well too! :D Sonkie, I'm so sorry you had such a rough day! Tomorrow is a new one though, look forward to that. I hope it's much better for you! OMG...

I was almost done typing my post and lost it! :sigh: (Argh! Was only able to lurk during the day as it's hard to type with a toddler on your lap. :( ) Welcome Sez, Sammy and Lesley! :) Congrats on losing 3lbs Bex, that's awesome! :) :party0011: Also, WTG Janey, Sonya and Karen for...

G'night Shrm, have a good sleep! Tomorrow is a new day! :)

spoon

I agree! :) I love the color pink too and with having 3 boys, I never get to dress a little one up in pink. So I'm praying really hard my SIL has a girl, lol.

Congrats!! We bought a new computer last August and I was so surprised at how easily the transition from old to new was too! Glad it worked well for you. I use Incredimail too, LOVE it, lol! :)

:wow:Great job!

Good job! I find I do better when I fill in my menu plan. Keep up the great work! :)

Welcome to MiniMins and Goodluck!! :)

I'm so sorry Irene. :doh: I missed that you said your week wasn't going very well. :sign0007: I hope this week is better for you. And I hope you enjoy your show! I've heard of it before but have no idea what exactly it's about. Do the best you can this week being away and all. :party0011:

Welcome Shrm26! You CAN do it! We've all been there and fully understand your emotions. I've just jumped back on the rails myself after taking a very expensive 6 month hiatus. And I say expensive because I never lost anything...in fact, I gained 20lbs :cry: but yet still bought the food. So...

HAHA about the moose! I live in beautiful British Columbia! :) I tend to overindulge after a bad weigh in too. We must remember that it only tends to make things worse. :p

Good one Karen! :rotflmao::sign0137:

I am sure you can! Goodluck to you! :)

:wow:WTG Sally! You have got to notice a difference! Well done! WTG Karen on getting your gold star too! Even more motivation for me to behave for the rest of the day! And it's only 2pm here now! OMG! :eek: ;)

And there she goes! Great job Janey! :party0023:

I agree and was going to mention it before Sonkie beat me to it, lol! :doh::sign0007:

Hi everyone! Hope your all doing well this week so far! New start. :) I have been very good today and really hope my next weigh in (Thursday) goes well as I intend to stay on the straight and narrow. Congrats on 4lbs bakerfa! :)

Hi Dizzy, Oh yeah, the tricords take up no room at all! ;) I live in British Columbia. :) And, now I really WILL think of you this afternoon while I go through! I go through the drive through everyday to get a coffee while my youngest is asleep (he'll only nap in the van!) and on my way...

It's a motivation thing we're all trying. We get awarded a gold star for each day we follow our diets (whatever one we're on) without cheating. After 7 gold stars, we get awarded a spinning star. Rewarding ourselves for doing good and "behaving". :)

Oh, and well done Mini on receiving a spinning star! I believe I missed you got a 7th gold star! Congrats! :)

Oh my goodness, I was wondering the same thing! You seem quite happy and satisfied with this diet and as long as that continues then I think that's great! :) Yep...any diet. Just gotta stick to the rules of it. ;) I'm doing Jenny Craig and have joined. This thread is a huge support...

Wow! I can really notice a difference! Great job! :party0011:

Goodjob!

Thanks so much Shaza! I think it's more of a 20 min workout...Never bothered to check although it didn't seem like 40min! I'll get back to you on that one. ;) That's a main reason why I'm going to be exercising...I'm terrified about how much sagging skin I'll have once I start really losing...

YAY Janey! How cool that you went to dance class! Do you go with a partner? I've always wanted dh to take dance lessons with me but we've always been too busy with the boy's extra activites. :sigh: Sounds like you had fun! Great exercise too. And to report...I was good all day today but...

Woohoo! Congrats on your losses ladies!! The spinning gold star is beautiful and I am aiming to get one myself next Monday! ;) Thank you for the welcomes, it feels great to be here! It's Monday and is 11:20am where I am. I have been good today as everytime I think of "straying off" I think...

Thank you! And hey, you know what? I haven't done any serious form of exercise in years. Look at my ticker, I've got a ton more weight than you to lose. The key though is to start slowly and just try your best. Even a little exercise is better than none. You could work your way up, that's...

On the dvd I have, you do exercise your legs more. However in the beginner's level, your feet stay planted other than to do some squats. I quite liked it and do "feel it" today however I'm not hurting. I just feel like I've started an exercise program. :D

Well, I did it I worked out to the tricord dvd. Dh did it with me for support too. And it wasn't too bad at all. Guess I'll find out tomorrow for sure though huh? LOL! Hopefully I can do this Sun, Tues and Thurs evenings and get some walks in on the other days with the better weather...

WTG!

:wow:KD, that was awesome! splatno1...1lb is GREAT! Sonkie is right ya know...1lb of butter or something measured out is actually amazing to feel! Now just to think how many of those 1lbs you've lost! Have you carried something in relation to the weight you've lost so far and felt how it...

Did you manage to find something Cavycrazy? deej...you'll have to keep us posted on how it sounds! Ivy...sorry about your jacket? Did it wash ok?

I know nothing about the CD diet but wanted to wish you goodluck!

I've only just started reading Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. Got to check out some of the books you all have read/are reading when I'm done. :)

Happy Anniversary! Hope you both had a great day together.

Mini...does the Coke zero really taste good? I love pop and can not say no when it's around and have considered trying it.

Hey Everyone! OMGoodness! I've just finished reading this whole thread from the beginning! LOVE the support you are all showing to one another and I just LOVE the stars! What a great way to reward and show others on the forum how great your doing. Could I please join? I have struggled...

Oh wow! Now there's no way I'd be able to top Mini's wishes! Great job Mini! :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope you have a great day today and a better year ahead! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you have a good day. :)

Hi Bethany, sorry I took so long to answer. I'm new here and slowly learning how to navigate around and find my way back to some threads I've posted in, lol. :D The tricords are resistance bands like Kate said. Gaiam - Resistance Cord Workout Kit I'm hoping to get off my lazy butt and...

Just checking to see if you feel any better today. :wavey:

:rotflmao: That's hilarious!!

Well, I've worn mine in and out of water several times, including in the rain and my feet have always gotten soaked. They feel differently when your feet are wet but I've never gotten a blister from them or had any problems. In fact, I feel like they let my feet breath better. I bought a new...

Thanks Karen and Bakerfa! Chinchilla...I agree with Bakerfa. Don't give up until your where your going to feel comfortable with your body. Are any of the people who are trying to tell you to stop, heavier than you...weigh close to what you weigh now? My guess is that there are and that...

I'm not much into exercise although I really should. I just bought an instructional dvd with tricords today so I'm hoping to try that out. And maybe start walking now that the weather has gotten better. My toddler hates his stroller though so we'll see! Goodluck with the gym! If you keep...

That's exactly how I feel too! We'll see...maybe once I reach my first goal I'll feel different. I bought some Tricords today and it came with a instructional dvd so I thought I'd try that.

Forgot to mention that I just love the picture of the kitty you have in your siggy! That's just too cute!

Hi Tracy, Congratulations on reaching your goal! You should be very proud! Your dd's toad story had me laughing because my 9 yr old son has asked for a lizard and if he can't have a lizard then he wants a frog! :doh: I told him he should just be happy with the fish he has because I can...

Sorry your not feeling well. A friend of mine just had her tonsils removed. Dr said they were the largest he'd ever seen! :eek: I usually take antibiotics with at least something to drink...full glass of water or something. I can't imagine that citrus juice would feel good? I'd imagine...

Well, today was weigh in day and I'm pleased to say that I lost 5lbs during the week! :D So that brings my loss up to 19lbs now! How is everyone else doing? Pretty quiet in here isn't it? :confused:

:wow:That slideshow is awesome! Congratulations everyone, you all look amazing!

Congrats! Your much braver than I am. My friend has been trying to get me to go to water aerobics with her for some time now but I refuse to put on a suit! :o

Those were all GREAT tips! I only have one more suggestion and that would be to carry a whistle. I live in a very busy city and there was a big article in our newspaper particularily aimed at women suggesting that we carry whistles. If your in trouble a whistle could draw alot of attention to...

Sorry tonight was so difficult for you. I too hate TOTM! Especially in the summer when it's so darn hot!:grouphugg: I hope you and he are able to come to a decision you'll be happy with when you get back from vacation. Have a GREAT and SAFE trip! :)

WOW! :eek: What a difference between them!

Oh my goodness! I hope you found it! :( What a story LLStu!

:wow:CONGRATULATIONS! :party0016: I hope your job search goes well! :D

Great job!

Hope your doing better today! :patback:

MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE ice cream! :drool: and that's precisely why we can't have it in the house! ;) Sure sounds good though!

Congratulations! You look awesome! :)

I LOVE my crocs and I'm thinking of getting a black pair as the ones I have are pink and don't "go" with everything, lol. ie. a red shirt :rolleyes: My husband and two older children also have a pair and today we bought our toddler a pair as well. :D

:doh: :sign0144: I found the thread...it was a whole new one altogether, lol! I WILL get this straight! :silly: You ALL are looking fantastic!! I can not wait until I'm looking hot like all of you! You should all feel so proud! :party0011:

:sign0007: I thought I posted in here...I remember commenting how great everyone looks and mentioned that I really noticed a difference in how Marcus looks. (his pictures were the very few I was able to see for some reason :confused:...as well, this thread didn't show up as being 50+ pages...

:party0019: CONGRATULATIONS!! Your ring is really beautiful! :)

WOW! Thanks so much for such a warm welcome everyone! It's so great to know that I'm not "alone" and it's very encouraging to see how far you all have come. In "real" life, I only have one friend who could or should lose any weight and she's not trying. (she's happy with the way she is...

WOW! What a difference! Keep up the great work! :party0011:

LOL, clothes can hide skin but not bulk. Now those are some encouraging words...seriously, how true is that! I'm amazed at the before and after photos of you gals. Truly inspiring. I've got alot of weight to lose and I'm really concerned about the skin issue and I fear that that's what...

Mind if I join in? My current weight today is 327 so needless to say I've got alot of weight to lose too. I'm amazed at the losses you all have! WTG! :D
