    HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
    i subbed in 'long runs' for 'drinking at the end of a workday', and i feel like i am actually looking awesome. Normally, during deadline, i let myself go, overcaffeinate, eat crap, and generally feel awful- and later have to take weeks to clean everything up and get my weight back down. This time, I decided it is going to work out for relaxation.



    happy friday

    Well, it's actually the first day of a new week, and I just read my original post to this forum. At that point I weighed in at 161 and the date was 10/9/10. This morning I weighed in at 148.8 - so that is a 12.2 lb reduction in weight in a little over a month - so I feel like I am staying on track to reach my goal of 135 by Christmas. with just a little over 10 lbs to go, I should be okay - I may have to work at it a little harder right after Thanksgiving, but I should be good.

    Wow Vickie! You are zooming right along! I am so proud of you. I am checking in and hate to report right after you...my weight loss is slow and steady.

    CW: 159.5 and holding....grrrrrr:embarassed:
    GW: 150 I am coming for you!
    Exercise: 3/5 days.....
    Goal: Ramp up the exercise, decrease the carby snacks

    I know I can do this. I had a terrible week and just did my best to get through. Losing a student is a rough experience so I am cutting myself a little slack. I am proud of myself for not falling back into emotional eating through this. My heart just aches for this young girl's family. I am still trying to get my brain around the fact that this young lady is gone just at the brink of really beginning her adult life. Whew~rough ole week.....just don't get it. Hug your kids, hug your kids, hug your kids.....life is so short.

    O.K., checking in. ONly lost .4 lbs. this week but considering I ate Chinese (no clue how many calories that was), Bang Bang shrimp at happy hour with a couple of cocktails, and missed 2 days of working out, I'm happy I didn't gain! I've got 6.6 lbs. to go to get to my goal weight. It's gonna be hard to do it by year end with the holidays and my younger son is having surgery in December and will be in the hospital for 4 days but I'm hoping to keep on track and at least lose a few more. On a brighter note, I HAD to go shopping yesterday and buy a couple of pairs of jeans and a couple of bras. My old ones were hanging off my body and had to be held up by my belt-I looked like a little old man! SAdly, the girls were no longer filling the cups and the band was too big around so my bra was sagging! Felt really good to put on size 8 jeans and THEY FIT!!! I tried on probably 10 pair looking for the ones that fit the best! Let's all do great with our eating and exercising this week so we can enjoy Thanksgiving!

    I know this is super late... but can I join in? I have 7 lbs to go to my goal... I am currently at 142.6 lbs and am 5'8" tall and want to be at 135 lbs. I will be checking in on Mondays, as that way I can be accountable for myself the entire weekend and not slip. The last few weeks I've not lost a single thing! So maybe if I HAVE to check in every week it will make me more accountable. I am having a hard time with my eating right now too, but as of last night I made my husband in charge of my weakness, cereal!!! I told him he has to give me permission to eat it and that he has to evaluate if weather I'm worthy or not to have it. He has to determine if I've worked hard enough and what my scheduled workouts are for the next few days, and how long its been since I last had cereal or something similar to it. I know its extreme to have someone telling me weather or not I can have it, but I need to get a hang on my self control, and he's always saying "Just have it, its not that big of deal"... so this will make me realize its not ok to have it all the time.

    Hey all! I am stuck from 121-122 for 2 weeks. Very frustrating! I didn't have the best weekends in those 2 weeks though. I have been strict again even on weekends. I have been eating more sodium than usual so I am hoping it's the sodium and water.

    That is just fantastic!!!! :)

    I am recovering from Thanksgiving Dinner at my house last weekend. It has taken me a few days to get straightened out. Today the scale showed I am up a few pounds but it is also TOM...I am feeling better but not real proud of myself. The leftovers in the fridge did me in. Heed my warning and send them all home with everyone! Dang dressing!

    Of course! Glad to have you! Keeping focused during the holidays will at least keep us from gaining! Right?! :)

    Wow, never saw this thread before, I would love to join in.

    I joined MFP in aug and have lost 12 lbs since, I need 5.51 lbs more to go which seems so difficult. I'm down 2 lbs for couple of days then I gain it back right away, I've started to hate the 71.5 kg figure that it reads off the scale. :sad:

    Welcome aboard! We wish you well! Let's pull each other through this last 10lbs. :bigsmile:

    I am checking in for the week. My weight is up a bit after Thanksgiving Celebration at my house last weekend. I am feeling much better and back in control. Just in time to travel next week.....more challenges. I am really hoping to just maintain throughout these challenging times. If I accomplish this, I am a winner.

    CW: 161.5
    GW: 150
    Workouts: 3
    Goal for the week......less salt, more water!!!!!

    Just got a new workout in from Netflix...Biggest Loser Kickstart....have you tried Netflix? It's a great way to try out new workout videos before you make the purchase.
