a resource

I heard from my niece, Whitney.  She has been using this website to help motivate her with her dieting:

http://sparkpeople.com

It is a free website.  I have visited it.  It has great articles, nutrition info, exercise tips, even a place to track your progress.  I did not even set up an account and was able to access all the information I wanted.  So, if you need some more ideas, this could be the place for you.

By the way, Rick lost 2 pounds last week.  He cut down on his Cokes, increased his water intake, ate my high fiber, low fat dinners and worked in the yard.  (Raked about a ton of pine straw.)  Our gardening season is just starting.  And everything we grow is in our Eating Plan! 

Hey people,
I just got a new email address. It's matt.claire.wall@gmail.com. Rachel - would you add that address, so I can post using my new account. I can't figure out if I can do that. thanks.

I did it

YEA, I did it. I FINALLY figured it out. Glad to be aboard.

get to postin'

Hey,
This is great! Kriss did just right. I was thinking that we could say how well we did drinking our water as well. I am so proud of you kriss for having such a wonderful attitude.
Dixie, I can't wait for the wild women's weekend. I want to hear your thoughts. This might just give me an extra push.

I have not really started but I am going to today. I wanted to give myself a full week. I need to go to the store. Anyway, keep me posted. I can still do the spreadsheet but if everyone is fine with this I am too.

Love ya,
Terri T.

I dont know where we are suppose to go I hope this is right. my poundage loss is only 1 lb. Mom is showing me up big time so I am getting on the ball for this week. If it helps anyone, I follow this method that is easier for me. My goal is to lose 70lbs but I look at it as 7 sets of 10lbs. It sounds like a smaller number and I feel better when I knock one set of ten down and the sets get smaller. I thought i would share that if it helps.

Saturday Check In

Hey guys, I'm not much of a blogger but, I'm going to give this a try. My efforts have been few and far between, but I did manage to lose about 1 1/2 pounds this week. I know it's not much, but seeing that my excersize has been in the minus category, I'll take it. So I can't remember for sure what we are supposed to rate Miss Terri, but here is what I know.
Weight lost 1 1/2 pounds
Exersize - 0
Attitude - A+
Deportment - C-

Aaahhhhhh

Thanks Rachel for getting us girls bloggin! This rocks, and now my inbox can breathe a sigh of relief too. This is my first time to blog (OMG, someone write down this date!) Dixie I tried that green tea pouch today, wow it's good (and easy), will look for some at HEB next time I'm there. The last time I lost weight (10 pounds this time last year, and it chased me down & hopped back on again) I remember drinking alot of unsweet tea...substituted for sodas and sweet tea. I also got off of chocolate, BUT the other day I found in the HEB bulk foods, an organic chocolate chip that only has 4 grams of fat (compared to 11) and 5 grams of sugar (compared to 20-something). They aren't exactly decadent tasting, but during the time of the month when all I want is chocolate, it's a better option. So maybe I won't give that up completely this time.

BTW, how do you pronounce "cho-cho bar"???
