    Congrats on all the pounds lost everyone... :)

    Ive had a rough day eating.. bleh..

    BUT... instead of wallowing in it.. I went for a WALK/RUN... I RAN 10 MINUTES total.. Whoop Whoop.. Not all at once.. in 90 second intervals.. :) A good accomplishment for me.. :)

    My Challenge for myself this week is to walk/run ATLEAST 3 times this week.. I got 1 time in..

    Check out everyone - all I see is success surrounding me! And I consider maintaining success - because that means you're not gaining and means you're doing things right!

    My cousin posted a picture on her Facebook that I thought would be good in here:

    We have to remember that when our outlook and personalities get taken over by negativity that it only hurts us. Being positive about our journey and the progress we've made is so important. So love bunnies, be happy, and be proud of yourselves!

    Pinky, I couldn't agree more! It's hard to stay positive all the time but it sure helps to have the support of everyone on here!!

    I'm out of bed every morning at 4, I feel your pain.
    I set my alarm to go off every 5 minutes starting at 3:40 until 4:00. This let's me feel like I'm sleeping in, but helps me get up at 4 by waking me up repetitively. It's also a matter of just dragging yourself from the warm comfort of bed and getting it done. Best of luck!

    Oh joyus weigh-in day.

    CW: 191.6
    Week 1: 187.4
    Week 2: 188.4
    Week 3: 188.8

    Must continuously remind myself that negativity, wallowing, and emotional eating do not help anything (I was disappointed at the scale this morning, so I had a piece of chocolate cake. :embarassed: ). Take a note from Peter Pan - can't fly without happy thoughts. Negativity will only keep me grounded.

    Weigh in for me for this thread, this morning. I started at just over 252 and as of this morning am 248.9. Not only does this mean that I've broken through my plateau, but also that I finally hit my first mini goal and am well on my way to hitting the second for Oct 7. Also, last night I had my hubbie do my measurements and I'm down 18.5 inches overall.

    We have such a large group and since I been restricted on the amount of time I spend on the comp. I just want you all to know that I am behind each and everyone of you and even though I don't always make it to the boards I am wishing nothing but the best for you. If you want send me a friend request I am better with hitting each of my friends individually then always making it to the thread. Glad to see so many great sucess stories and for those of you that may not be getting in your workouts and not seeing the numbers on the scale today is a new day and your workouts don't have to be long and drawn out if you can squeeze 3 10min sessions in a day that is better than not doing anything because you didn't have 30 solid mins at one time just a thought you can even break it down to 5min intervals who can't spare 5min in a day so let's go!! Hope everyone enjoy the rest of there week!!

    I'd like to join! I could really use something like this to kick my bum into gear. My starting weight is 170, and by Halloween I want to be 150.

    So, what are everyone's exercise plans for the rest of this week and next week?

    I started 30day shred :grumble: :sick: :sad: But I know that being a little sore is a good thing! :drinker: So I may do another day or so of it, I want to start running again, but my wheather is kinda moody right now, one minute it's gorgeous out, next it's down pouring...so hopefully I'll get some running in before the 18th. I have another out of town weekend ahead for my brother in law (Sept 10, he'll be 16), my hubby (Sept 13th, he'll be 26) AND my mother in law (Sept 14th, and I won't say her age because I want to stay on her good side!) so that means birthday foods like cake and bbq but I've never been much of a cake eater so that's not an issue. This weekend shouldn't be nearly as bad sodium-wise as last weekend, but I'll have plenty of water and hopefully I'll get in lots of walking while I'm there, but that's about it for exercise this weekend...walking. Next week, I plan on more walking, including outdoors and Walk Away the Pounds, 5k training at least one more time either Mon ot Tues then no more running til Saturday. I'll probably hit up the pilates to help stretch out a bit.

    Congrats on all the weight loss going on!! I'll be back tomorrow for my weigh in.

    Also, have you all thought about Halloween costumes yet? I went to a few local shops yesterday and saw some really cute Sailor Pin Up girl ones and a Marine one, however, their 'Large' is just a bit too small for me as of right now, so many I'll buy a medium and stash it for next year :wink: Hubby, Nick, and I also talked about me going as a pimp and he will go as my.. :blushing: err, 'Nicholette' :laugh: I plan on taking pics this year UNLESS the dreaded happens and the party gets cancelled and we don't get to dress up.. :grumble: which IS a possibility :cry: Anywho, enough rambling for me, have a great day all, be back tomorrow morning.
    :heart: Bru

    Fly pinky! Flyyy! Remember the fluff too, that has a role, yes?
