    Sorry Banks, I caved again :( GRR!! BUT, I don't weigh more than once a week so I guess I have SOME self-control.

    I have just been making a few changes and wanted to see the outcome so I could share my success with the doubters on here, which I did in another post.

    I did go to the scale with a different frame of mind though. I said to myself "I know I am doing the right thing, I know this works and it will all even out in the end...so if the number isn't great...then I will be ok"

    So, I was down 4 lbs!!!! I went from 193 to 189! I was shocked. BUT, I have been eating more on exercise days (at least 1800 calories) and on days I don't work out I stick to around 1450.

    I think if we find what works for our bodies...(which takes some trial and error), we will all succeed. I know I won't have losses like this every week but I have discovered that my body does this. It takes a break once in awhile and I have small losses or even a maintain and then suddenly I have a big loss and it evens things out.

    Still in. I actually think this is good for me, cause I am working so much harder to be sure I see something good on weigh day. I just wish that day would hurry up and get here.....lol

    Tomorrow is one week already...that's kind of crazy. I said I was only going to try for one week, but now I'm thinking about tacking on another week. It's hard because I want to KNOW! :grumble:

    Still haven't weighed...but I really want to! It is amazing at how much self control I have over everything except eating. That's the true addiction. I do feel like I've gained but it may just be paranoia. I definitely have been more religious about my cals and exercise since I can't weigh everyday....

    :laugh: Sisters are great. Mine are back in the Midwest and I really miss them. My daughter is on this site though and we're in a race to get to 150 pounds first because the first one that does has to buy the other a new outfit ($40 limit). Have fun.
