    Day 7/365 - oh Stacey! Sorry to hear about your Mom. How are you today?
    I hope she is not in too much pain.
    As for myself, I ended up not having time to eat at all until I got home from work at 8:30! Still under calories, but not nearly enough protein!!! And I was so hungry I don't even remember chewing.... Bad!!
    Today is a good day so far and I'm headin toward lunch which is planned and good! Lots of water today already and I'm off early enough to get a good walk in tonight with the dog!!!
    Stay strong Stacey!!! We got this!!

    Mom is doing well today. Will be staying at her place for the next couple of weeks. Diet is all screwed up again today. But that is just life right? Trying to remember that it isn't about what I did one day but the sun of all 7 days in a week.

    Somehow I have managed to come in under my calories the last two days even with all the chaos.

    7/365 - that's Great!!! How are you feeling?
    Great day for me today... Sticking to plan, except for tonight at skiing. I will share fries with my daughter, but I've accounted for that, plus I'm skiing!!
    That should burn a few extra calories...
    So I'm up to 2 coffees, and they are double doubles. I need to get down to one to start, then reduce my cream to milk and my sugar to nothing... That's my goal for this week! By my weigh in next Tuesday that's where I want to be!!
    Have a great day, and I'll check in later!
    WE GOT THIS!!

    I love the idea of this accountability post. Plus I'm so nosy/curious that you'll get me logging on here every day just to read the comments in this thread :D

    Mojo and Emmest please join in! I'll take all the butt kicking I can get to stay accountable...
    Am I doing this right though or is there a different forum I should be posting on?
    If we do this together then it doesn't seem so bad or hard.... I'm going for 7lb losses at a time, so it's not overwhelming and completely do-able. That's why.... WE GOT THIS!!

    Jess, how is it you go skiing and I injure my foot?

    Don't know where the rest of my post went. Lol calories are good again today and while her bathtub hates me my,mothers scale is my new bff, it says I am down 7lb in the last week. Lol. Going to wait to log that until I double check it on my own scale to be sure. But for now it's fun.

    My thoughts exactly, Jess. Little steps at a time are so much more manageable. We should have a mini-celebration for every milestone achieved!

    Another day under my calories! 2,800 steps on a broken toe and a sprained knee too. I am sadly ready for a nap.

    Jess, don't make me go all sticker creepy and start messaging and harassing you until you post. Your last post was 2 days ago and I promised you a butt kicking. I will give you until tonight to post and tell us how skiing went and what you have been doing and then I will start stalking. :wink:

    Excellent to see the support everyone has for each other. It's nice going on a journey with others who are on a likewise path. This is honest day 17 where I have been sticking to logging and exercising. Everyday is one step closer to the finish line

    Can someone help me? Lol
    I'm on day 8/365.... And I swear I've posted everyday! And I'm doing really good!!
    Eating is getting better, and I'm moving everyday.... I work in retail so I log about 12,000 steps a day anyway (if I had been eating better years ago I swear I would be 120lbs) and I'm increasing that and trying to do more actual cardio and weights.... I did say trying, right?
    I'm about to post this, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed......

    Tiny bit over tonight but not enough to worry about. The wife and dog are out at mom's for the weekend to visit. Which is good cause I was missing them. Glad to see your messages are posting again Jess!

    I have found that safeway selects fudgecicles work well for those ice cream cravings. They are just 100 calories so they usually fit.

    My wife has 1,000 more calories per day to work with, so I feel your pain in going over because of hamburgers. Tonight I came in so short I can have a brownie, so she is in the kitchen trying to make them healthier with oatmeal. Lol

    .... I said... Basically that I had a crap day, walked by a store and went in and bought ice cream. My house is chaos, which I normally love but today it's making my head spin. I still have 5 kids that are not my own and it's 11pm!!! They are all staying! Lol
    Tomorrow better be a new day!
    It's really helped putting this "to paper" so thank you for all your support and reading this when it actually posts properly!

    Grab a ball and take those kids for a little 3 on 3 tomorrow. What day do you end the week on? I end mine on Sundays so you have one more day to finish strong by my count! Remember this is not a 100 yard dash it's a marathon so it isn't how you start its how you finish.
