Halloween Hottie big nite/oh no!!!!!!!
I did slip off the wagon a tad but got back on. I lost about 3 or 4 maybe 5 lbs for halloween. But I HOPE I am ready for tommorrow nite. I went and picked up a costume and I am NERVOUS about going out in public. I am going as I like to say "the notrious bettie paige". I hope I look ok and does anyone have any confidence…

Steps
I wanted to share a quote with you I heard last night at a Waiora meeting. It's very simple and very true, let it sink in and think what it means to you in your goals and strategies... "Every step is easy to take. Every step is easy to not take. Every step is a step up or a step down." What will you do today?

What has happened to me?!
I started dieting about 5 months ago, I am on the WW plan. I have lost 50 pounds. I always had such strength, willpower and motivation. For about the past 2 weeks, all the willpower has gone down the drain. :sad: It seems like lately no matter how hard I try to tell myself "No, I am NOT eating that!" I end up eating it…

Feeling pretty bad, need to vent (OT)
I got sick four days ago. Finally last night I gave in and called the doctor, who agreed to give me a prescription for the urping. But it hasn't stopped me from losing just about everything I eat. I've been to the bathroom so many times that my poor little bum is hurting. I don't even think about logging anything I've…

A bit of a vent....
I'm feeling very frustrated right now. I have managed to gain 6-8 pounds in the last WEEK. I know, probably just water, but I am currently at my heaviest EVER and I feel disgusting. DH wanted to "color" a few nights ago and i just couldn't even bear to be touched! (And that is soooo not me!!) I know that it will come off…

Wanting to cry...
My friends think it is soooo funny that I count calories. I mean it is soooo funny that I workout everyday and watch what I eat. They think that I am crazy for being so strict and jokingly ask me how many calories are in the foods they eat. My always-thin guy friends enjoy asking how many calories are in a whole pizza or…

Reward Yourself Mini Challenge!
Now, we all know we're in this to lose weight and feel better and live healthier lives, which is a reward in itself....

For each half hour that you work…

Kinda scary!
This may not make sense to a lot of people, but does anyone else find that losing weight can be scary for them! I have been overweight since I hit puberty and can't really even remember being a normal weight. As I am approaching my lowest weight that I can remember, I am feeling a little overwhelmed by this. I start going…

No progress?
I am finding it really hard not to get discouraged. I have been at this for over five weeks now. Eating under 1,300 calories, exercising 4-5 days a week , uping my cardio time from 30-40 minutes and two days a week of strength training. I am holding steady at my starting weight. I don't get it. I am doing everything right?…

Not feeling successful!
So I all of a sudden dropped three pounds yesterday, which was probably a least a couple weeks worth of work on my part. I hit my 10lb milestone and I am now at 220, which is really exciting because I am one pound away from the 210s! The problem is that after I thought about it for a little while, I really wasn't feeling…

Stress and eating.
I was doing so good until i started to have stress and extra worries, eating something it doesn´t matters, "just to make me feel good" and forgett all the stress and the problems... I ate a little more than my recommended calories in the past 3 days but at least i noticed how i was eating just for eating when i´m stressed.

Weekends are the hardest
My wife and I don't have much of a problem sticking to the plan during the week, but weekends are rough. In our case, the culprit is something of a social dynamic. Case in point -- this past weekend, we went on an Autumn motorcycle ride with 2 other couples. Along the way, someone points out that there is a "GREAT…
