Hi Teah! We need to pat ourselves on the back for a minute. No the scale isn't moving as swiftly as we would like, but guess what! We have maintained a good amount of weight loss. Did you know Americans gain an average 6 lbs per year. This is called weight creep. So, while our goal is to lose more, it's a big battle to maintain what we have lost so far. Hats off to us for trying to lose more, but more importantly, keep off what we lose. I think this post can help those who want to lose and those who want to maintain. I'm on the train for the long haul... good or bad... I know if I let myself not keep track too long, I'll find 6 lbs or more to add to my collection!! Here's today's plan: Breakfast: Ground turkey Snack: Celery Lunch: South Beach Orange Beef Snack: Grilled chicken Dinner: Grilled shrimp lettuce Cheese Light dressing Nutritional Values: 1100 Calories 36 Carbs 43 Fat 125 Protein Exercise: 1 hr water aerobics - DONE! 1 hr walking 25 minutes Pilates Have a great day!!! Denise 326/220/170 -106 50 lbs from Drs goal 20 lbs from mini personal goal of 200 by July 26

Hello Nancy, Weigh to go, in raising the bar on your workout!!!! Keep up the great workouts!!! Mary

Hi Mare! I did my usual this morning - the WATP WalkBlaster. I raised the height of the platform, so I'm stepping up higher. I was hoping to get out for a walk this afternoon, but I have to go to a meeting, so I won't get to. I do plan to do the WATP High Calorie Burn 2 mile walk when I get home. Hope everyone has an awesome day!! Hugs, Nancy

Denise, Awesome job in getting your water aerobics out of the way this morning and you have great plan in getting in your Pilates and walk. Managing exercise time can be challenging especially as the day progresses, time seems to fly and other activities or responsibilities seem to creep into the days plan. Often I have to bite the bullet and ensure that I meet my workout commitment. I keep reminding myself that I am worth delaying whatever else needs to get done. I wish I could send you some sunshine however, we have rain for the next two days. However, when the sun does come back I will be sure to capture some and send it your way. Mary
