Hi Sherry, I feel your anger... You're doing sooo good with your exercise... Keep it up, everything else will fall into place. Tammy 291/284/197.5/145

Thanks for the encouragement. I do great on my exercise, but I can't seem to be consistant on the "NOT SNACKING". Congratulations on the 197!! Sherry

Thanks Sherry, I really struggle with wanting to snack also, but I've really been trying to keep something to drink on hand at all times. I know I won't eat & drink together, so it's been helping me. Tammy

Whoo Hoo!!!! Look at you go Tammy! You are gonna catch back up to me in no time! Especially since I was 189 again this AM!! But I know it's because I am gonna have my period soon. No biggie! We are kicking butt on the exercise everyone! Let's keep it up!!! Lori 281/189/140

Awww Lori, you're such a boost of energy. It's so funny the way the scale &^*&% with our minds isn't it? You know, though, for myself, I know I will have to continue to weigh pretty much every day for the rest of my life to keep me on task. I'll take the 100's over the 2's any day. Don't worry about the 189, you're just waiting for me Seriously, you're body is probably trying to recover from the huge weight loss of last month. Plus that monthly visitor always insists on bringing soooo much luggage with her. Someone needs to tell her that she's only staying for a week...Leave some of that crap at home... Have a great Day Tammy

Hey Tammy- I have two days of progress to report Tuesday- worked out at Golds Gym 35mins Treadmill 3.0 -6.0 inclines / 1.75 miles 30 mins Precor stairmaster levels 10-15 / 300 cals 1hr weight training Thursday 4/6 Ballys workout 45mins Treadmill 2.25miles /450 cals/ 3.5-9.0 inclines Precor Stairmaster - 10mins- 105 cals Weight training: 30mins Friday so far- Did 15 mins of light weight training this morning. I tried something new yesterday (again) Getting protein immediately after your workout- is imperative for muscle recovery- any trainer will tell you this.The amino acids are what helps restore and build your muscles. I made a 42oz protein shake (3 scoops) - and decided to drink it throughout my workout- instead of just propel or regular water. Let me tell you- these Nectar protien drinks are fabulous.I also took an "energy up" vitamin (available at the vitamin shoppe- I highly recommend these- they contain ginseng- and it DOES make a difference in your performance) the Vitamin + the protein = made such a difference - first when I got home- I was not that hungry- 2- I didnt feel sore- 3- I awoke 30 mins earlier today, without an alarm (never happens) feeling rested and ready to go. Oh yeah- and I lost 2 more pounds. I also want to say- that doing this with Tammy and everyone else- has motivated me more- to getting more done in the gym and focusing on better results. I AM 4 LBS AWAY FROM THE CENTURY CLUB!!! Everyone- have a great weekend. I am going out dancing tonight! Ciao! Donna 325/229/145

Whaaahoooooo Donna! You are soooo close! I think there are a couple of us who will reach the century club this month! Go US!!! Lori

Donna, You're doing awesome... You're sooo close to the 100 lb mark.. What a Success....... I've actually been drinking AchievONe during my exercise, or having some high protein pudding right after. Been feeling good..... Keep up the great work Tammy
