godblessourhome

if anyone wants to do a challenge this weekend, it is: TO ONLY SAY POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT/TO YOURSELF FOR A FULL DAY. i will post the challenge on thursdays after the weigh-in. it will be a random idea and you can chose to participate or not. if you do, have fun treating yourself to some positive self-talk!

Still no change, but I have hope for next week...water weight maybe will dissipate and I have tried to stay right on my 1200 cals or even on my exercise days off been eating a little less...and on Saturday I will take the day off...I am going tot he Casino with my friend...so I pray I get through this plateau. I tried a recipe off of the forum ...pizza for under 200 calories...I used a flatbread Flatouts Tomato Herb and used some petite diced tomatoes(drained) instead of sauce...I put skim mozzarella and turkey pepperoni...a little gaaahhlic and basil and I cooked it on my pizza stone for 10 mins on 375 ...It was really good. Next time I may throw some onions and mushrooms on it

Hi all,

I hope everyone's had a great week. I've decided to not weigh in this week because I enjoyed my birthday weekend I know I weigh a lot more than last week and I dont feel like being depressed haha. See you all on the 30th!

I am down a HALF a pound and the scale finally has broken 140 again...So last week I tried to stick to 1000 to 1200 cals a day and did exercise at least 30 minutes/200 cals a day...I did however goto the Casino and drank all day and ate at the Hard Rock so I am feeling really good this week...I also got my husband on board with the dieting and exercising so this should be great with the nice weather coming finally...except for today SNOWSTORM ...i am getting really sick of this snow!

Still maintaining...no loss this week. This week there have been huge doses of stress, less than optimum sleep, no consistent exercise...been grabbing 5 or 10 minutes here and there through-out the day to make my minutes...hoping next week will yield better scale results. Overall, I am feeling better, clothes fits better, am seeing more definition in my arms and upper body especially...so I can see and feel some results, just not on the scale right now...

Made it to the 150s. Almost within ten of my Happy Weight. Expect it to get more difficult to lose from here on out but I'm going to give it my all. The weight on my drivers license says 155. That has been a lie for over twenty years I'd guess. So, in just a few more pounds I will no longer be a Big Fat Liar - At least about the weight on my drivers license:laugh:

I am just itching to get on my bike, the only problem is that I live in Wisconsin and we are currently in a cold snap. High temp is 32 right now. This summer I plan on biking to work most days, I live 1.5 miles from work.

ugh! having lived in south dakota most of my life, i totally understand. spring never 'sprung' there until the first part of may. lol. the boys and i were planning on going out for a massive ride today but the wind deterred us. we are hoping to try for it tomorrow. weather permitting, of course.

This was a great week for me. Broke through my first plateau (first of many, I'm sure - but now I know I can do it!!). Often I would hit a wall and eventually give in to old habits. MFP helped me to stay the course. thanks to all my MFP friends! Couldn't have done it without you!!
