    Weigh in day is Sunday for me and hoping, hoping, hoping that the weight loss I saw on Wed. will either stay the same or go DOWN!!!! Excited about this challenge because it will push me and I am so glad I read this post because I am feeling unmotivated today! Now I guess I will get up and go walk 3 miles like I should have done already! Good luck with your weigh in's everyone! :flowerforyou:

    Week three is horrible for me. I didn't have money for groceries and I was out of the house for 18 hours a day so I pretty much had to eat what was on hand. I went from doing good on a low-carb low-cal to just trying to work out enough to balance everything.

    I gained three pounds.

    This weekend will be spent reflecting, regaining inspiration and most importantly - GROCERY SHOPPING. I'm considering just going full on atkins because it has worked wonders on both my father and my grandmother (my grandmother especially - she's allergic to most fruits and some vegetables). I will do thorough research and get my act together.

    This morning when I got off the scale I went so far as to put on my gym clothes before I just sat down and started crying. I started feeling the familiar twang of emotional eating and instead of going straight for the fat stuff I managed to get some of the low calorie cucumber pasta salad I made for a pot luck tonight. It filled me up and stayed under 400 calories. I ended up shutting down physically and emotionally before I finally had to leave for work.

    On the bright side - I brought my gym bag with me to work and now that I'm feeling more revved and inspired again I will be going to the gym after work. I won't be drinking at the potluck tonight so nothing is going to keep me from going this weekend either. I know that by Monday I will be full force back in effect.

    I can do this guys. We can ALL do this! I don't care how horrible today is, it can only get better!

    Hi all, I'm sorry, I lost track of the thread last week and just found it again. I usually weigh in on Mondays but I got on this morning just for chuckles to see where I was and I actually went up 2lbs., hopefully when I officially weigh in on Monday it'll be back down to where it was. Good luck to all and I hope everyone has a nice Labor Day Weekend.

    Oh awesome possum pal - I'm sorry this week has been rough for you. :( You seem to be such an active always-on-the-go kind of girl. I'm wondering if maybe you need to up your calorie intake a smidge more. Like maybe your body is always working, and with your calories limited to what they are now, and adding in your awesome exercise routine, maybe your body isn't working with the calories you're putting in the way it should be. I dunno, I'm no scientist, but I just want to see you succeed and support you on your way to your goal! *hug*

    I'm just now finding this group, but I would love to join in and give it my best shot to loose around 20 lbs by Halloween. My birthday is October 26th - so it would also be the best birthday present to myself. I tried to lose for the past year but I'm about where I started last year. I didn't weigh in this morning, so I will weigh myself tomorrow. So a year later, here I am.....still trying to get this ball rolling. I figure I've got a year under my belt where I could see what works AND what does NOT work.
