    Linda-congrats on your 1lb loss, I understand having to get rid of something because it fattening. recrecently I threw away some brownies, it was time anyway, so not wasteful.
    Belibda-great job on your 2lb loss, I hope we all have a loss next week.

    I only lost 1.2 lbs this week but I really have been eating whatever I felt like eating. I attended 2 social events and I just felt like some of foods I ate. I tried to exercise most of off so I did loose some just not as much as I hoped.

    Hello Losers

    Just checking in from Jamaica. The weather here is awesome. Talking to you from the beach.
    I didn't read everyone posts, too many 108 to be exact. So I will just say good luck to all this week
    on your weigh in. I am still exercising with walking at least twice a day and completing the
    squat challenge this month. Leaving here on Saturday, I will be crying all the way to the
    airport and back to snow again.

    See you soon,

    Shirley

    I'm in!

    Need some motivation to get this journey moving. I have been on MFP for over 2 years and not much movement on the scale. Frustrated...

    Ray, hold steady on your choices and you will be fine! Make sure to either eat something healthy before, or take something with you in case all the choices are bad ones at your events. You can do it!

    Ray.. You will make good decisions because this is a lifestyle..you can have your cake and eat it, too! o:)

    Thanks guys! That's a good idea to bring my own snacks, I do this when I go out of town for the day but I hadn't thought of it for these in-town events. Maybe I'll bring a veggie tray to b-day party. And yes, this is a lifestyle, not a diet. I need to keep that in mind.

    Congrats to everyone who maintained/lost this week. And remember maintaining is still better than gaining! :)

    Yes...you're right. I just really wanted to loose 2 lbs this week. But I guess some loss is better than a gain. :wink:

    Ok guys, check this out! Next time you're feeling like losing "just" 1 lb. isn't good enough, remember what 1 lb. of fat really looks like. I love thinking about this concept. :)

    Haha! Just imagine this every time you see an Easter peep, anything to make them less appealing. I'm going to try to remember this every time I see a coconut cream egg.

    Thank you!! That is a much better way of looking at it...

    One pound is definitely more than I thought it was!

    Here's one reason to strength train...muscle is denser; takes up less space.qqgibamvgiax.jpg
