    so happy everyone is trying their best to make it through! and getting rid of BIG clothes is a BIG deal! (yeah, I'm proud of myself for that.)

    today, I dyed my hair and got my eyebrows done and saw a loss on the scale. so today, I felt really good about myself and I can't wait for the first official weigh in next week.

    Today I am going to get up and go to the store and go pay bills. Yesterday spent the morning in ER with my daughter, and caught the virus she has.

    So sorry your daughter was sick in the ER! And bummer you are now sick too :( But good job getting up and being productive!!

    Today I purged my dresser of my baggy clothes. I've bought a few things recently that were 3 sizes smaller than I was thinking I was fitting because all of my stuff is so big. My goal is to buy something super nice/sexy for my birthday date with my husband in January.

    Fun/sexy/nice clothes are always a good treat!!!!

    Today I joined this group. Already feeling better for taking a step in the right direction. Going to gym later to see if they can help me with an exercise programme...even if it's just core.

    I've learned any step is a good step. I started walking on the track that surrounds the gym at my local community center, and dancing to Zumba Wii at home. Now I'm feeling good enough to actually take the Zumba class that I pass on my walk in the mornings. I'm amazed at the boost to my self esteem; I would never have considered joining a class last year.

    Today I started going through my transition of summer to winter clothes. Filled a garbage bag full that are now to big and gave to the church. Felt good to give and gave me motivation to keep up on my journey. I used to hold on to clothes "in case" I gained back. Broke the habit today because I have no intentions of "in case".

    Oh, this is wonderful! I am thinking of doing the same thing this month. I need to go through not only my "fat clothes", but all the "skinny clothes" that I thought would still be in style when I reached a smaller size again-- haha....

    Yesterday I reminded myself that one mistake doesn't ruin the entire day. I ate more than I planned at breakfast and was feeling upset with myself. I then went to the gym, went for a long walk and prepared a nice healthy dinner with grapes for a bedtime snack. I completely salvaged the day - after a rocky start, it ended as a successful day. I need to remind myself that it's never too late to do the right thing!

    Today I got back running after a 3 week hiatus :smiley: I pushed hard and my muscles are feeling it! I am currently working on running 5KM in 30 minutes. I've regressed a bit but good to get going back in the right direction.

    Today I helped a friend get started on mfp. We will be helping each other along this journey. She has noticed my success and I told her I was using this app and how easy it was to use.

    How are you coping exercise wise? My physio has told me to try and do as much as possible to strengthen my leg and as long as I'm sensible and stop if it hurts I should be fine :)

    I ended up with a steroid injection into the ankle/ligament area. I can now walk almost pain free. Will start the treadmill in the morning before work at a 'normal walking' pace. I am not suppose to push it! I went to physio also....funny, I felt they asked better questions and taking a better history than the physicians did!!

    Take care when you exercise!!!

    Amazing group that has gathered here to participate in this challenge!!!

    Today has been good thus far. I did my weightlifting before work. I planned a healthy salad with hard boiled eggs. I also packed a plum. The tough thing is going to be dinner at my sister in laws. They have healthy food sometimes. The wine and sodas are always tempting.

    Today I am watching my calories - not easy, but will be avoiding the red wine tonight which should help a bit

    Today I bought a food scale and started comparing actual portions to what I see as a "correct" portion size. Man was I so wrong when it came to potatos.

    Its learning to rethink how you use food to how you treat yourself, or thought patterns in how we view food, how we discipline ourselves to being angry withourselves moody. And you realize you need to treat yourself with love and care and encouragement, just as you would a friend.

    Today was my son (5yrold) first flag football game.. Which I walked with my other son to the field and back. We later went to Chuck e cheese for lunch where I did have pizza. Then I walked another 20 minutes with my youngest around the neighborhood. More than what I usually do on a Saturday.

    Today I came up with some new healthy recipes. This excites me about becoming healthy. Not the same boring routine with just salad all day (exaggerating a bit of course). I am more focused than ever about getting and keeping this weight off for good.

    Today, I prepped my food for the week and portioned everything out, down to my snacks. I'm hoping this will keep me on track this week. I'm just trying to take this thing one week at a time. I think I can manage better that way.

    Today I am at work, trying to stay on task with what I have to eat. I work at a major airport, so I have to pack my meals or I am enticed by the many fabulous restaurants we have in this place. I am looking forward to swimming and water aerobics when I get home late tonight.
