    Picking up my new (used and free) treadmil tonight. :bigsmile: Can't wait to try it out later..

    Heading to Applebee's for dinner (love gift cards from Christmas!) and I'm NOT eating off the 550 menu because the sodium is ridiculous, gonna keep looking at the online menu for something with less salt..

    Hope you all have a great weekend!! See ya Monday morning :drinker:

    Congrats on the job news Rach!! I'm pretty bored at work at the mo, I love my job and don't dread going to work (I'm a researcher for a family tree company), but it"s been so quiet recently that I have very little to do. And now they've moved my desk, so I can't look on the internet to kill time like I used to.... but on the plus side I've nearly lost all my Christmas weight this week, just 0.2 lb away from where I was just before Christmas so soon be back on the weight loss.

    There's talk of a permanent position for me at work!!!

    FINALLY!

    I've been a temp for over 6 months, but now that the lady who I was covering for has decided not to return from her maternity leave, it looks like I've got the job. I have to do a month of probation, but it looks like I'll get hired (with a raise, hopefully) on Feb 14th. :happy:

    This also means the roommates and I will move forward in getting our bigger apartment. Complete with FREE fitness center!!! It has like 4 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, 2 bikes, and tons of weight training equipment! That was the selling point for me!!!! :laugh:

    yay!!! congrats Rach!! you so deserved it!! :D

    Had Applebees tonight.. mmmm steak :) Still no treadmil yet, hubby's back is achy so he didn't want to go and pick it up tonight.. HOWEVER: he told me at dinner to make him a MFP profile..not sure if he really wanted me to or not, but I did it anyway and I asked him if he'd just give it a try for a week or so :)

    Enjoy the weekend all!!!

    So yesterday I made dinner for my boyfriend and myself. He's been watching me for the past month become more serious about losing weight and for a while there he thought I was crazy and obsessed because I count my intake religiously. (Seriously, like right after I put something in my mouth, I log it.) Anyway, I think we had a little breakthrough yesterday, because he was actually helping me to fix a more healthy meal.

    Glad someone else had a breakthrough. I went to my folks place for lunch yesterday and I'd told mum that I didn't want what they were having as I couldn't cal count it. Instead of me doing without one of my fave childhood meals we weighed out each ingredient so that I could put it in my tracker. Not only was it delicious but also far less calories than if we'd made it my parents way (they probably had at least 3 times more cheese per portion!) Kind of wish my mum would take my lead but until she wants to seriously lose her excess weight I can't help her.

    And Rach - congratulations on the job news. Onwards and upwards for you honey :happy:

    So far so good on the weekend. Made some AMAZING apple oatmeal muffins and even some diet sprite cupcakes (yum!). I have some stuffed peppers in the oven now! I LOVE cooking and love the fact that everything I'm making is healthy!

    Ok, so I was able to try the Wii Zumba game today and I think Im going to love it! It's cool trying to learn the dance steps. I know some of them from the Zumba classes I have taken but some Im just lost. Another bonus is that I burned 652 cals in 68 mins! Thats pretty good for a game. Soooo, in my book, Zumba is a winner! Have a Great Weekend Everyone!

    Loveme, I love the Wii Zumba game too. I think it's a fun way to burn up a little energy :)

    I am feeling unmotivated today and yesterday. I got a killer workout in yesterday, and worked out today too but stress is just wreaking havoc on me, and of course the first thing to take a hit is my desire to take care of me! I have got to shake this feeling! I have been doing so well lately!

    On a positive note, I created a yummy new recipe for dinner. I made my own homemade BBQ sauce, and added it into some 96% lean beef. I also added in some crushed pineapple. Topped it with some FF cheese, and put it on a whole wheat sandwich thin, and man was it yummy!

    On a negative note, one of my kids knocked my jump rope off the top of my desk and it got kicked into our heater and melted in half. Grrr.

    Hi Rach

    I am loving MFP!!! The support, the planning, everything is helping me! AND I am getting amazing support from my family.....DH eats as he pleases for breakfast and lunch while I am at work (he is retired)....skinny little thing he has always been...but says he will eat whatever I prepare for dinner with me! That helps so much to NOT prepare 2 different meals. Daughter invited us over for dinner last night, she had grilled turkey burgers, had the 100 cal. sandwich thins for buns, made green beans and a nice salad! (Granted she did also make mac and cheese but with everything else I managed to avoid that!) I'm loving my family support right now!!

    The weekends really are killing me! My two very favorite foods (beer and chocolate chip cookies) have been tempting me the last two days thanks to bowling and football parties. Thanks to the TOM I wasn't quite able to avoid them but it's not the end of the world! I was able to control myself with quantities and in the end, moderation is what is going to keep me going in the end. Well, off to do hw and keep unpacking. Hope you ladies are having a great holiday weekend!

    Oh my! I wish that I would have seen this 2 weeks ago!!! Is there anyway that I can be added to this? I started on 12/30/10 at 184lbs. I weighed myself today and was 174lbs!

    I have been looking for like girlies to support and be supported.

    Just let me know if I'm not too late.

    Good morning all!! Went out with some of the guys last night...wow, I've never laughed so hard before! It was a nice stress reliever:)

    They also decided to give us their pos treadmil until we can get a better one. Free is free, so as long as it runs, I'll take it! Now we just gotta bring it inside and clean it off. But YAY!! I have a treadmil!! Nick said he'd even use it!!

    Making some turkey chili (and with a little ground beef too...) today, YUM! Trying to stay busy, hopefully I'll find a job soon and I won't have the option to 'try' to stay busy..

    Hey gals!

    I am going to weigh in early today because tomorrow I will be traveling back home and do not have a scale. I'm going to just say that my weight is the same (227.8) this week since I'm unable to weigh in. I feel like I've lost while being out here in San Diego though but no scale :(. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

    SW: 229.8
    CW:227.8

    Jessica-That sounds like a great recipe. Good job on not letting stress keep you from working out!

    Darlis-Must feel great to have the support of your family.

    Frankyosage- Yes, Moderation is Key. Weekends are always rough for me. I eat way over my cals and then I have to workout like crazy to burn off those cals during the week.

    BrunetteWife-Congrats on the treadmill!

    Amy-Congrats on the Loss!

    Hope everyone is having a Great Weekend!

    There is so much stress right now in my house. Everything is a mess and I am crying almost everyday. It is so hard not to eat my feelings, but I really am trying to keep it together. I am so afraid of things falling apart....it will break me I know it will. Right now I am just trying to foccus on my son and keep exercising to keep my mind of things. I just wish it would get better soon....I can't take this much longer. :( I am not strong enough for this.

    Elven... so sorry to hear. At times in my life I have felt like you have... overwhelmed and beyond crazy. Life sometimes is that way, but you are good to try to focus on your child and the exercise. I hope things get better for you soon. And, yes, you are strong enough!!! {{{hugs}}}

    So we went to my father in law's this weekend for a visit. Nasty weather + Crazy heater (Hot then cold, then hot then cold ) = A sickly Ashley.

    Didn't really keep anything down (Lapbands are evil) yesterday, a protein bar, hot chocolate and a snack bag of sunflower seeds. Yeah, that was it, all day. Did a little better today but I just feel awful. Going to go take a shower and sleep forever. Hopefully the scale doesn't ***** slap me for actually getting to eat today. If it does, I don't care right now.

    There is a Just Dance 2 Score Challenge, maybe that will help you with your goal of doing Just Dance 2 this week. Here is the link: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/154530--just-dance-2-scores-challenge-week-2
