    12 Week Check in Thursday.....LET'S SHOUT!!!!!!!!!

    I weighed in @ WW today and was down 1.4lb. Right now I'm aiming for about 1lb/week, which, if I can keep it up will leave me at goal by Memorial Day. With that in mind, I'm trying to plan ahead for dinner @ the Mexican restaurant tonight. I'm seeing grilled fish tacos in steamed corn...

    Money, Kids and Chores

    When my DS was 8 I had him unload the dishwasher, separate clothes for washing (that job now belongs to my 5YO), and fold and put away his own clothes. He sleeps in an upper bunk so we don't bother w/ making the bed. Heck, even I won't make that bed! Now that DS is 10 he also puts ALL the...

    12 Week Check in Thursday.....LET'S SHOUT!!!!!!!!!

    Good morning! Woke up this morning feeling pretty good for a change so I got up and did the 4DS LIS cardio portion only. Felt pretty good, even though I was coughing a bit. I may have to stick w/ abbreviated WO for a bit, but I can at least get going again. Food has been pretty good for...

    Money, Kids and Chores

    I remember reading an article somewhere that recommended that you not tie an allowance to chores, otherwise kids will always expect to be paid for things that MUST be done. That said, I will pay my DS (10YO) for extra work he does around the house. Needless to say he doesn't earn much extra...

    *** 12 Week Check-In Wednesday 01/09 ***

    Lorrie, we have BickerMax @ my house too! I think my kids just spent too much time indoors together over the holiday break. It was cold & windy (and I was sick) so we didn't get out much. They're back @ school now, though, thank goodness! Gayle, I'd be pulling my limp legs on the floor as...

    **12 WEEK CHALLENGERS! - Jan 8th

    Hey everybody! I didn't manage to check in yesterday - very busy. I didn't exercise either yesterday or today. My body is SCREAMING for sleep so I decided to listen. I want to kick this sick thing and get back to it. Generally feeling quite a bit better - hoping to hit it full steam next...

    ** 12 Week Challenge/ Jan 6th**

    Hey there everyone! Well, I was planning to do Muscle Endurance today, but got sideswiped by MIL being sick so I had to take DD to church this morning. They had King's Cake today - I caved to a couple bites since I ate only a WW 2pt bar for breakfast, but considering how many slices they had...

    ****12 Week Challenge, Jan 5th****

    Karin, I love the iClimb 21 intervals! And Gayle, I was laughing about you needing your iTrain fix. I need to go see what's new too. Did my weightlifting @ Costco today LOL! Not sure what's on tap for tomorrow. Need to do something w/ abs for sure. I ALWAYS wuss out on abs (can you...

    ****12 Week Challenge, Jan 5th****

    Hi everyone! I did OK on goals this week, although food was not the best. Exercise was OK, but low key. At least it was there. My main goal for next week is to do better on food (should be no problem since I switched back to WW Core this week) and to do a little better on exercise. The...

    ** 12 Week Challenge Jan 4th/ Week 1**

    Hey there everyone. Feeling draggy today, but I did a L&G premix anyway. Then went to WI @ WW. It said the same, but I'm really down a little since I ate breakfast right before WI (I was hungry, what can I say?). Exercise is not where I want it to be, although I have met my 4 day goal for...

    ** 12 Week Challenge Jan 3rd/ Week 1**

    Gayle, I'll be up tomorrow morning, but probably 6:30 or 7 to WO since I don't have to work tomorrow. I'd like to do 4DSKB/Legs but don't know if I'm quite up to it yet - need the chest congestion to LEAVE! I'll do legs of some sort in any event. I love the WW Core plan and I try to eat...

    ** 12 Week Challenge Jan 3rd/ Week 1**

    Good morning everyone! I'll own up - I didn't get my WO in last night. By the time I got home from work I had a raging headache so I just vegged and read magazines...Cooking Light...found a bunch of great recipes to try, though. ANYWAY, to avoid a repeat of yesterday - I FORCED myself to...

    ** 12 Week Challenge Jan 2nd/ week 1**

    Just driving thru & waving hi! Eating is good today, but I haven't WO yet. I had enough trouble just getting up to come to work never mind working out! I have some elliptical time and abs planned for this evening but Gayle may have talked me into LIS cardio instead :) My abs are still sore...

    ** 12 Week Challengers Jan 1st ** HNY!!!****

    Hi. Just checking in to say I did PUB as advertised. Wish I could say the clean eating was going as well, but I'll keep trying anyway. Tomorrow will be 20-30min cardio and one of the CoreMax segments. Gotta scoot. Need to make salad before the G'mas & G'pa come for dinner...

    12-Week Challenge Check-in for New Year's Eve!!!!

    Good morning 12-weekers! I really need this challenge. As Gayle knows, I used to check in on a daily exercise thread on the Weight Watchers boards, but our group fizzled this year and I've been needing a replacement - and there Gayle was again! Thanks Gayle! By way of introduction, I'm 41...

    Lets talk sport bras

    Another vote for Champion - I have 3 different styles for high impact and they're all great! 2 are underwire, 1 is not.

    Count me in Gayle! Although the exercise may be "off" for a few days - recovering from a cold & working thru chest congestion right now. I could do weight work, though... I definitely need something like this. :-)

    Gift ideas for a 7 year old boy?

    I would suggest something like Magnetix or K'nex where the kids can build whatever they like. It's fun and creative. My DS is almost 10 and still loves to play with that stuff. Legos are great too.
