We just experienced our first visit to Coco's. The medium marg is WAAAYYY too big. Then we had LOTS of chips, then tamales- yum. So, so much for So Well on Sowal.

Can there be a marg that is waaayyy too big? ;-)

:clap_1: lindabobhat. You are an inspiration! Congratulations. I really don't see myself as an exerciser either (Mermaid tried to get me to go kayaking and couldn't convince me), but I'm hoping to be a new-me, a new-exercising-me next week. I'll be checking out the various gyms in town to find a good "fit".

Only after you quickly down a Jumbo Margarita just prior to ordering the Medium Margarita.

Ok ladies - sorry I didn't chime in yesterday on official weigh-in day. I needed to wait until after I worked out at the Y tonight and attempted to redeem myself after several days of misbehaving (I can't remember the last time I ate pizza 3 times in 4 days!)

Anyway, the good news is I finally reached my goal of losing 120 lbs last week. The bad news is I ate too much pizza over the weekend and gained a few back. But I went to the Y tonight and rode the elliptical for 55 minutes AND did all my weight machines. So I'll be back on track before you know it (and hopefully back down to my goal weight within a week!) After tomorrow I am off of work for 5 straight days, so it should be easy for me to find time to continue working out and cook healthy meals. If I get back down to my goal, I'll reward myself with a cosmo or two (haven't had one in over 6 months - next Monday is my b-day and I'll have been officially living this healthier lifestyle for a year!)

And if I can do this ladies, anyone can - take it from someone who could look back on the first 42 years of her life and count on 2 hands the number of times she ever "really" exercised. It is never too late to change.

Great post, Linda!! See why we need you here? Your story is so inspirational!!

:clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: What an inspiration which I really need at this point.

Sorry I have been AWALL on SoWal....to many stresses in my life. Maybe things will calm down this winter. Got a sweet pm from dd and knew I had to come back to life. As for weight loss, each day is a battle so I just try not to mess up too badly.

Glad to see you dear! We've missed you! My philosophy is much the same as yours--don't screw up too bad. One day at a time.

Caution everyone: The BIG candy holiday is quickly approaching.

You so bad.

I want to report that there are 3 bags of Halloween candy by our front door and I haven't started nibbling on ANY of them. I am very proud of myself. Such restraint!! Let's hope it holds out. :roll:

:clap_1: Good girl!! I try to buy candy that I don't like so I won't be tempted, but then people always bring tons of the stuff to work and it's just everywhere. They bring good stuff too--snickers, butterfingers, etc. I need blinders!

I bought myself a bag of fun-size Three Musketeers bars. They are relatively low in fat and calories for chocolate bars and I will sneak one when I'm tempted by something more dangerous.

Also keep in mind that liquor is fat-free.
