    Me too!!! PMT and very bad mood with too much to do. But I played soccer tonight even though I debated missing the game and I felt so much better as well. A little worried about weigh in tomorrow as I retain a lot of water this time of the month...

    Me too guys. Given its sunday I really wasn't in the mood but got off my *kitten* off the sofa and went for a run. Did 5km in my best time ever in 30 degree heat. That must have burnt off some calories! Feel good now although thought I was going to die about an hour ago.
    Lets really make a push this week. Need to get back on track. Thanks for all the support everyone. Am finding this thread really helpful. :heart:

    Hi Guys!

    The list is looking GREAT!

    I hope everyone can stay away from the sweeties this Halloween! Remember, you want to be slim much more than you want to eat sweets. Mostly. lol

    Keep the weight losses coming! I will post the list Monday evening!

    I've had a few Halloween mini chocolate bars, and for some reason, they just don't taste as good to me this year. It's almost like they are tasteless! I used to remember them being creamy, and they would melt in your mouth. Now an avocado does that for me :wink:
  • Down 2lbs since last weeks post down to 181.7 started this challenge at 184.6 Thanks!
  • Hi!!!

    I am a little upset this week because I am only down 1 pound. I knew it would be bad though because my eating was a little crazy a couple of days this week. To top it off I really didn't put in much exercise this week. I have to get back on track this week and make next week a better week. Good luck to everyone else!
  • hi all i am down a total of 3.8 lbs sincw we started. I am so proud of everyone. It certainly keeps me motivated
  • I am down 2lbs to 130.3. I ran my first 10 miles this week which was great but I made german chocolate cupcakes, ate too many of those and ate out too much. I hope to get back on track this week. I used to be so good at eating healthy and exercising but I've had a lot of problems with fatigue and migraines lately. I hope I can stick with it though. Good luck everyone.

    Yep. I get on my wii daily. The fluctuations are emotionally taxing, but they seem to keep me motivated. Besides, it's worth it on days like today when I reached my first wii goal! When I get to the next one, I'll be within my healthy weight range.

    YES! I weigh myself every morning except on Thursdays and most weekends. My weigh in day is actually Fridays so I like to try and surprise myself by not weighing in on Thursdays. That 24hrs is torturous but I love my Friday weigh ins so far! The weekends are tough for me. We usually end up out with friends or ordering out or going to a restaurant. So I really don't want to step on the scale. (guilty Conscious)

    Well, We out to our favourite steak house restaurant (The Keg) on Saturday and will power was not with me!!! After sour dough bread, goat cheese with almonds and nice fillet mignon I felt awful! (Although the food was amazing!) It was a rough night for my tummy! I'm definitely not used to eating like that anymore! On Sunday, I went for nice brisk walk for hour and half. Felt much better. I really don't even want any halloween candy this year. (That's really odd for me.)

    Have a great week everyone!!!

    I stayed the same this week but usually gain about 3 pounds during this time of the month so am sure that next week will be a much better weigh in (I hardly exercised last week as it was too busy in my household but things are back to normal now and I have scheduled "me time" in this week!).
    Great work everyone on your weigh-ins!!

    No loss this week!!!!

    CW- 173
    The reason that is so annoying is because I did excellent eating all week and I was down a good 4 lbs, but then I ordered out and ate alotttt over the weekend. Its self-sabotage. I want to have another great week this week, and ACTUALLY keep it up over the weekend. If so.... I should actually see the loss I need to see! Heres to a new week!

    Well, I'll be away for a week starting tomorrow, so no weigh in this week from me. Good luck, everyone, and I'll see you next Tuesday.
  • I am also a serial stepper every morning I jump on...I am better about not beating myself up but ai do think it keeps me a little more honest to see it everydat
