    lstpaul - Eesh, sounds unfun all around. Good luck and getting that all cleaned up. It's great you have a steam cleaner to help.
    Julie - I think it's great you can't obsess (well, any more than the rest of today!) about the interview. Be confident and you'll be great! It's always nice to not have the stench of desperation!
    Teresa - Sorry you're not feeling well! At least you're not eating it away.

    Blugh...it's just one of those days here at the office, you know?

    I hear you gals on the lack of motivation thing. I've been reading entirely too many blogs today!

    Julie: Best of luck on your interview!

    I hear that! I wanna crawl under my desk and sleep...wait...I don't have a desk. I just wanna lay on the floor and sleep. Looks like this girl's passing out in the tanning bed again tonight!

    Hey ladies :) Just wanted to share a small success. I tried a new recipe in my slow cooker today, and turned out horrible. It was basically supper time...so I reached for the pizza delivery flyer, but I stopped myself. I figured out a quick fairly healthy meal instead and saved myself a bunch of fat and calories! I am not saying I will never have takeout pizza again, but I do want to make sure it is a conscious decision.

    I snuck in a weigh-in today and am down .7 pounds, so we will see what it says tomorrow...

    Happy Friday, ladies!

    Well... really it's a frustrating Friday so far. Yesterday, I was at 219... today the scale reads 221 AND TOM is still doing it's sort of here, sort of not two weeks early thing.

    Not good for my motivation to do anything. Blah...

    Maybe this will mean extra loss for next week?

    debra ....-1.2.....0.72%
    Teresa....0.0.....0.0%

    On a lighter note... I was able to pull my jeans on and off without unbuttoning them (these are jeans I wasn't able to button last summer without help and prayers.)

    Good for all of you! Jennbarrette for picking a healthy meal, Teresa for your jeans, and debra for your loss!. I didn't lose much this week and am a little dissappointed because I thought I had a good week. I know I need to measure and pay attention to my portions more - so I probably fudged a bit this week.
    Have a good day everyone - I'll be gone all day so just wanted to get my weigh-in recorded but didn't do the percentage yet.

    lstpaul: A loss is a loss so be proud of it, lady!

    Jess: Tanning bed? Naughty! I'm assuming you're just getting a "base" for vacation? I've done it but just last night, I threw out my tanning lotion and vowed never to use a tanning bed again...we'll see if it happens. I usually only use one three times a year in early spring, but I know it's terrible.

    Jenn: Great job on not ordering pizza on impulse!

    Checking in for yesterday:
    Points: On target!
    Water: 74.7 oz...yay!
    Exercise: Nothing formal, but cleaned the house for about two hours.
    Proud: I cleaned the house and didn't just sit and watch tv all night, which is entirely too easy to do since that's what my sister does every night. Do you know how hard it is to get motivated when the rest of your household is sitting in front of the tv??

    I've gained a pound and I'm miserable and I still have TOM - it started last friday !!!!!!! WTH....I'm highly regular so this is crazy for me.

    Anyway I also ate too many cookies and chocolate this week so I can't blame anyone except for myself.

    Great losses everyone else so far, hope I'll be joining you next week. :heart:

    I am so far behind on reading post...about 4 pages long. I will start reading, in a bit, and check back :)

    Check in: 1/21/11
    calories: 9 over, no biggy
    exercise: none
    water: about 80 oz
    proud: took it easy this week (no binging - as I normally do), even though my life is so hectic.

    No loss for me this week. That's okay. Had a lot of sodium yesterday. Yesterday was the first day I feel like I ate like a human all week!

    Heather-I had a tanning membership for my sisters wedding and then quit right before the wedding...wanted a nice base coat for Mexico so I don't have to worry about burning too much. I usually burn no matter what the first time I'm in the sun. Not something I plan to do on a regular basis.

    Happy Friday!!

    Jess, glad you are feeling better today.
    Teresa, congrats on the jeans!
    Laila, it counts!! We all decided to start over in 2011 and not "not count" stuff we had previously lost.
    Meokk, sorry TOM is extra persistent!
    Deb and Heather - WTG on the losses!

    Checking in from yesterday:
    Cals - Perfecto. 1199
    Water - 80 oz
    Exercise - Nada
    Proud - Had a great rehearsal yesterday!

    I've got a Girls Night planned tonight, so I'll likely be over in calories. Goal is under maintenance for today! Tomorrow night, we've got a beer event, so I'm going to try and be responsible there too. I'm going to make sure I get to the gym in the morning so I have a few extra hundred cals to play with, but the goal will likely be maintenance calories on Saturday too. It feels good to be planning!

    Yay, looks like lots of losses this week!

    Lauren: I'm still so jealous of your beer events. Not fair!

    Ann: I'm so happy to hear your mom is cancer-free. I love that you're doing a 5k for breast cancer. I really want to do the Susan G. Komen 3 Day, but probably won't be this year because I'm not sure how to go about raising $2300!

    Jess: Glad to hear you're not a tanning bed addict or anything. With the prevalence of cancer these days, it's just scary.

    So, I have vouchers for Sun Country airlines that need to be used before March 14 (booked) and we can't figure out where to go! We definitely do not want to go to Mexico. Our goal is to find a place that would have relatively inexpensive lodging for 3-5 days, with some cool outdoorsy or historical things to see. I have $400 worth of airfare to use.

    There was something else I came to chat about, but I forgot now. Maybe it will come back to me later.

    Ann: That would be cool to do the 3 Day together next year. Heck, let's get a MFP team together to do it! Imagine what kind of donations we might be able to bring if we had a team!? Ah, yes, I have big dreams...

    Deb: Yay for all the progress on your house! So exciting!

    So, I have very little motivation again today. I'm addicted to reading blogs on here, I just bought another book on Amazon.com and I'm daydreaming about traveling. That's what happens when we're slow and I don't have any immediate deadlines. Ugh.

    I'm thinking about buying a new laptop, but want one around $300-$400. Any of you techie people have any suggestions on a brand and specs? I don't care what it looks like, but I want it to have 10 key built in. I'd love to be able to get my blog up (about state parking!), but need a new computer to do it. It would be especially awesome if I could be blogging in the car between state parks. Yup, there are those big dreams again...

    Julie..........+3.2 (in the last 2 weeks) :noway:

    I shouldn't even weigh in anymore. :laugh: This baby must weigh about 10 pounds by now. :tongue:
    I don't think I've been out of control with my eating. The weight gain is coming mainly from the fact that I haven't been exercising at all over the last 2 weeks. I really have to start exercising daily. I'm really going to force myself to get up early & start walking every morning. There's absolutely no excuse for me to have gained as much weight as I have so far. I really have to stop.
