Hi all. Didn't have much time yesterday for posting, but I went to my Dr. Appt and guess what?

I'M FINE! Everything is normal. That's good news, but still doesn't explain the weight gain. Well, I guess it's off to do the extreme. I will be walking more....and longer and eating alot less even though I have cut wwwaaayyyy back. We'll see what happens. I won't be throwing in the towel anytime soon. I have the support of this place and I will not let myself down or any of my burrowmates. THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING. I LOVE YOU ALL!

LETS GO BURROWMATES...

Its Good to see you Susybear! I love sweetcorn, yummy is right!

Titus, thats good news sista! I know how you feel, I have cut out the sweets and I'am eating better, and getting more excersise. So I will just keep on keeping on, and hopefully it will start paying off. So lets keep on keeping on togther burromates! Thankyou, Love you all too!

GO BURROMATES!!! GO BURROMATES!!! GO!!!

Hi everyone. Yesterday was my first day at the health club. Wow is my back sore. Will go back on Friday. Need to get in motion to loose some weight. Hope everyone is doing well. Have a great day tomorrow.

Shocat

Shocat, way to go sister! I wish we had a health club around here. I will just have to get off the couch and walk.

Good morning burrow mates!
Titus I am so happy your tests came out normal.
Hang in there. I am stuck at the same weight too. Doesn't seem fair when we work so hard to get it off the scales are against us. There are times I would like to pick them up and pitch them out the window. (Of course I would have to clean up the mess.)We are all eating healthy, drinking water and getting more excersise so that make us all winners in my book no matter what the scales might say.
Because:
WE ARE THE BURROW MATES THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BURROW MATES

GO MOB!!!!

LOL, That's my problem. I need to be upright instead of horizontal on the couch. I've been putting more effort into being upright though. TOO FUNNY. Love you guys.

hey mitch, posting at the same time.....

Those scales are liars.....lol. I would like to believe that anyway.

Have a great day!

Glad to hear that the tests are normal Titus! I seem to have the same problem staying vertical & in motion too. I try not to look at scales unless I'm at the gym. I own one but it's still in the box & will probably stay there. I go by how loose the jeans are & if any of that "cottage cheese" is leaving my body. Got in another 4 hrs of pushing the human powered lawn mower this past weekend & NO pizza this time. I'd rather be horizontal in front of the tube but I MUST BE MIGHTY.

Titus, I have it on good authority that all scales made in China are full of...that nasty stuff they put in the dog food. So of course they lie!! Okay, I made that up

Now that the weather is getting better, I feel more like getting out and doing something physical.

However, Top Model is on tonight so that means my once a week treat is tonight!! I think some strawberries dipped in chocolate sound great! Unforetunately, I forgot to buy the chocolate so I'll have my strawberries straight tonight.

Got room at the bottom of that wagon? I gotta start climbing back up

Sure Dmoo, heres a paw, climb on up sister! Strawberries are better for you straight.

Mitch, I'am with you on throwing those scales out the window!!! Very aggravating.

Good morning burrow mates,
I looked forward to reading the postings on my break in the morning. Thank you everyone. This time really makes my day. LOL You guys are too funny.
Dmoo hand me your paw and I will pulled you up on the wagon. I have fallen off a few times this year too. I have skid marks on my rear to prove it. We are all in this together and all here for each other.
Do to cost I had to drop out of Weight Watcher for awhile so this is were I come for my support and BOY let me tell you the support here is awesome!

WE ARE THE BURROW MATER THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BURROW MATES!!!

Meergato, I liked the "cottage cheese" comment. I have that problem also. My problem is once I get home from work. If I sit down. IT'S ALL OVER! No motivation.

dmoo, you're too funny sister. The weather is awesome here. Not too hot yet, I can still have my windows open until I go to bed at night. I don't dare leave them open while I'm sleeping. NOT WHERE I LIVE. I wish I were in the country on about 10 acres somewhere. That would be awesome.

Hi Kescha, I'm grabbing that paw also, so hold on tight.

mitch, I totally understand the cost thing. I would love to join WW, but have to watch the budget. The support here is awesome so you know that we are all going through the same thing...It's tuff. BUT WE CAN DO IT BECAUSE WE ARE THE MIGHTY BURROWMATES.

Good morning burrow mates!
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Now that it is getting warmer besure to drink more water.
It is going to be beautiful this weekend in sunny California. I am going to work in my garden tomorrow. I am soooo looking forward to fresh veggies this summer.
Hang in there everyone. We are all doing so good. Together we are as strong as the mighty Whisker's family.

LET'S GO BURROW MATES....LET'S GO!!!!!

IIIII'MMMM back!!

M4M, this is the longest I have ever stayed with any kind of wieght support group, 5 months now. You all accept me back with kindness and support, no matter what. Everyone cheers each other on, regardless of where we are on the wagon, or (like me sometimes), sprawled in the middle of the road! WW should come join US!!

GO MOB GO!!!

Congrats on the 5 mos Dmoo. I usually last only a few days & then I hear a voice calling my name in the middle of the night saying "Save me from this freezer" & I open it up to rescue B&J. Must be wearing invisible earplugs to last this long. Always need that helping paw & wagon. MUST BE MIGHTY, MUST BE MIGHTY

Hello burrowmates! I hope you all are having good weather, like I am here in Virginia. Yesterday was downright WARM..in the lower 80's. Good day for mowing the lawn...good exercise, too.

I'm so proud of myself for sticking with the "eating healthier" routine. I've lost 17 and 1/2 pounds and am actually having a hard time keeping some of my clothes from looking too baggy! Can't afford a new wardrobe so I guess it's time to get out the sewing machine and try to alter some things. I'm drinking lots of water and really trying to minimize fats and sugars. I feel SOOO much better! Stick with it everyone! It DOES make a difference in your outlook.

GO MOB GO!

Susybear, wow! 17 1/2 pounds! That is awesome! I go to the dr today, so we will see if I lost anything. I bet it does make you feel alot better! Way to go Susybear! Whoo hoo!

Way to go Suzybear. That's awesome. Keep up the good work.

Dmoo, welcome back. We're always here for you. I'm usually sprawled in the middle of the road too sister. Don't feel bad. I haven't bothered getting on the scales yet, so I don't know what my status us. All I know is that I've cut back and am trying my best.

mitch, fresh veggies sound awesome. I wish I could put up a garden in my back yard. I think the doggies would just dig it up though.

Meergato, We are mighty! Keep up the good work.

Hi kescha, good luck with the doctor.

Ya'll have a nice day!

Goooood mornining burrow mates!
This is so awesome! The support here is so wonderful. WE ARE THE BURROW MATES THE MIGTY MIGHTY BURROW MATES! Thank you so much for all your support and motivation.
Weight Watchers has nothing on us. We are like a meerkat mob and look out for each other not just on one day of the week but everyday. Keep up the good work guys. We can do this! I cheated a little this weekend. Went out to dinner. It is so hard to say no to Mexican food.
But back on track today.

Good morning burrow mates,
Looks like eveyone is out of the burrow this morning. Oh well, it is so beautiful outside I think I will join you guys out on the manor (after work this is) Hope everyone is having a great day. Doing ok Here. Had a small accident with some rocky road ice cream last night but made sure the rest was in the garbadge this morning so I don't have a repeat this evening.
Sure wish carrots tastes as good as ice cream.

LET'S GO BURROW MATES.....LET'S GO!

Good Morning Burromates, Mitch dont feel too bad. I ate my home made german potatoe salad. Then I gave the rest of it away! Too much of a temptation to be laying around.

Hey Titus, my weight is the same!

LETS GO BURROW MATES, MUST BE MIGHTY!

You have to look at the positive...at least you either threw it away or gave it away. You didn't eat it all....GO BURROWMATES GO. YIPPY!

I have to agree, it's hard to say no to mexican food.

Hi all, just about blew it the other day after finding out about Rocketdog ( ). I went to Safeway to find comfort with my men Ben & Jerry but did a turn at the last minute for the diet desserts. Being mighty in the time of tragedy is hard to do.

Meergto's review on Sara Lee 100 cal desserts - skip the chocolate mousse, little flavor but can eat right out of the freezer. The apple crisp wasn't bad at all but you have to wait for thawing - can seem like an eternity!

Hey, Titus, let's dust our tushies off and power walk up to that wagon!! I have found only one way carrots taste good as ice cream - in a cake with cream cheese frosting I saw a really good tip on the news tonight in a segment on nbc about the mind/body connection, it's called mindful eating. It is about concentrating on every aspect of eating and why you want to eat the bad stuff. It ties in with stress hormones - and how comfort foods actually reduce the hormones!! Makes sense, but now I have to refocus on reducing them without all the junk.

Since I last posted, I've dropped 3 lbs, so I'm back up on the wagon, hanging on.

Must be Mighty! Will be Mighty! We are Mighty, they Mighty Meerkat Weight Loss Mob!!! With this kind of support we can do anything we want to cuz we are as strong as we believe we are

GO MOB, GO MOB, GO MOB! WOOO WOOO WOO!!!
