Happy 4th of July everyone! Do they celebrate in England? (hope I don't make myself sound like a twit asking that..hehe)
I'm so happy that this week is over! It was a rough one at work. But I did a great job on my weight loss project!
I got on the scale this morning and I'm down to 200 - I hope its even lower tomorrow!
I have 50 min of exercise I need to get in today to meet the exercise requirement - and I'm hoping to exceed that. I'm slowly working up to doing these workouts 6 days a week again. But since they are hardcore, I need to work up to that - 2 days so far out of 5 ain't bad - and I plan on working out today and tomorrow. So that will make 4 out of 7. Sorry, thinking outloud!
Anyways - hope you guys have a great day!
My positive for today 7/4 - I have great personal hygiene. (Is that one weird?)
Great job on the loss pink!! We're definitely gonna have a FORUM party after this week to celebrate how good we all did!

Happy Saturday guys! I know that its a Freebie day - but I still plan on exercising. That will set me up with a little cushion for this coming week.
Yesterday, I got 55 min in of cardio/weights. I may just do some walking today though as my muscles are tired.
Food-wise I did good. No fried food. So I met both of those bonus challenges. Hope you guys are doing well!

Just got on the scale for my Saturday weigh in - and its still at 200! That's a 5.5 lb. loss for me this week!! 
I'm very excited. I was hoping to be in ONE-derland today - but I will be next week if I stay focused.
When you guys do your stats - can you put the total number of affirmations that you had this week? 6/29-7/4 - it will just make my job easier!

I hope that you had an enjoyable 4th of July Lori. In answer to your question - we do not celebrate it in England. We have our fireworks parties on 5th November which is when we celebrate the historic foiling of an attempt to blow up the houses of parliament.
Well done for getting down to 200. Your 5.5 pound loss for the week is absolutely brilliant. You will be under that milestone any day. I always love getting to milestones. I am pretty near the nine and a half stone milestone myself - and there is great anticipation as we hover towards it - and then the absolute joy when we first get weighed and find ourselves the other side. If we maintain focus and keep up all the hard work we can all do these things together.
My weekly losses are never too big these days - but I cannot complain as it is such a joy to be in the latter stages of my weight loss project - with the maintenance project looming ahead.
I had no fried food all week - which was quite easy for me as it is something that I do all the time. All that I can say is "thank goodness for fry light". My courgette plants are now producing some lovely courgettes (I believe that they are called zucchini abroad) - and I love to have them in a stir fry. I get the olive oil version of fry light spray and it is great to be able to stir fry vegetables with special oil which is just one calorie per spray. It means that I can eat it regularly with no risk to my diet. If anyone has not tried the oil sprays yet - I can strongly recommend them.
Leila - well done on your weight loss for the week - 5 pounds is brilliant.
Brian - you did really well - losing weight despite the last minute business trip.
Sarah - hormones and water retention messes around with the scales for all of us - especially me. The important thing is to remember that it is water and not fat. It is easy to get demoralised when we see a bigger number. I hope that the run goes well today. You really are wonderful - running for a charity event despite an injured leg!!!!
Anke - you lost 4.5 pounds which is brilliant.

My bonus is all about me using my new treadmill. My husband has bought me a beautiful gym quality treadmill - and it was delivered on Friday. I then went out and did all my exercise walking on Friday outside. I think that my husband was surprised that I did not use the new toy. I have set as my bonus to use it and get used to using it.
It was raining this morning so I have just completed a 7 mile walk on it - so my bonus is done for today. Since I got my full exercise quota in on Saturday and Sunday - my exercise points are secure for the week.

I could never survive on 1250 calories a day!!!
With the rain that we have been having - I have got the treadmill just in time to save getting drenched today.

The rain is so annoying! Where I am, it's on and off every 2 minutes!

Morning Guys!! You wanna know why our team is winning? Because we are in it to WIN IT!! Our team is the only team that had every team member post their bonus challenge by the cutoff date! Good job! That means there's an opportunity for every one of us to get our bonus points!
I got my water in yesterday, didn't exercise though - which means that I'll need to exercise 4 days out of the next 5..YIKES! I can do it though!
I didn't eat much yesterday and I HATE when I do that. I have gotten much better at packing my meals/snacks so that I'm not tempted by the evil vending machines in the student lounge.
Food for yesterday -
Banana
3 deviled eggs
3 small slices mozarella cheese
3 small slices salami
Starbucks - skinny iced caramel latte
2 pieces of dried pineapple
I really need to try to work on my food intake!
On a more positive note - got on the scale this morning and it said 199! I'm excited, but my weight always goes up and down between 2 and 3 lbs...so once I get to 195, I'll really be ecstatic!
Well, hope you guys have a wonderful Tuesday - I'm off to get ready for work!

Whilst I can thoroughly understand why you would be keen to be solidly the other side of that major milestone - such that you can be reasonably sure that you will stay there if you keep doing all the good things - celebrate what you have!
If the scales say 199 - that is ONEderland NOW!!!!
Celebrate it! We can all celebrate you getting solidly the other side of it in a little while.
