Widdlecuddles - June

[Widdlecuddles]

Hi All,

Gee it's been a while since I've been in here. I have a lot of catching up to do. the weather has been absolutely beautiful so we have been walking during our breaks at work (which is when I usually would come in here).
Since going on the Biggest Loser Challenge. Lost 16.5 pounds so far since 05/01. We walk about 1 mile total on our breaks at work and I am now walking an additional 3 miles everyday after work. Been alternating between the training in the Biggest Loser book and the DVD in the mornings. have been struggling some mornings to get out of bed at 5:00 (this monring being one of those mornings)
Hubby has been struggling. He pulled a ligament in his knee and is having pain when he walks. he has been watching his eating for the most part but his lack of movement is catching up to him on the scale. His problem is he steps on that stupid scale every day... so this monring he said he was up 5 pounds from yesterday (but then tomorrow he will probably be down 6 - who knows)
I think the rain outside is making me sleepy... I would love to be home taking a nap right now instead of sitting at my desk at working napping (just kidding).
Hope everything is going well with all of you! If it's raining still for this afternoon's break - I'll stop in again.
Gotta get back to work for a while
Talk to you later!!

Congrats on losing 16.5 pounds in a month! Sounds like you really know what you're doing Keep up the awesome work.

I hope your husband feels better soon.

Great job on your weightloss! Really impressive!!! It sounds like you are doing all the right things.
I'm kind of in the same boat as your husband. I hurt my leg, and have to stay off of it for awhile. It's frustrating. I'm really trying to not use it as an excuse though. I'm really trying to not just throw in the towel, till my leg gets better. To be honest, that is really what I feel like doing. But that is a really poor attitude. And he really needs to stop weighing everyday! I weighed myself throughout the day one time, and my weight fluctuated more than 5 pounds. He'll make himself crazy if he keeps doing that. No more than once a week at exactly the same time. That will give you the most accurate results. It's probably even better to just weigh in once a month, but I would find it too hard to wait that long.
Best of luck to you !!

Carol, Sorry to hear about your leg... hope it heals up soon!
I told him that scale will make him crazy - especially tonight when it steps on it again and weighs less than he did this morning.
I weigh every Monday morning because I have to send my weight in for the biggest loser contest. Once in a while I do step on the scale either Friday or Saturday morning to see how I am doing (and too see if I need to step things up for the weekend or if I can continue to do what I'm doing)
