    Have you guys filled out your FAFSA forms? I went back to school last year and qualified for $2,400 in grants and fincial aid. It pays for all my tuition for 12 credits a semester.

    I'm too young to fill out a FAFSA on my own. You HAVE to put down at least one of your parent's info until you're 24 and neither of my parents care to share their tax info with me. :ohwell:

    Argh! That's crappy right there. I guess I was fortunate in that I waited until I was in my 30s to go back to school.

    I did ok this week...I'm really hoping to do better next week.

    I completely understand about the financial stuff regarding school...hubby is going to pharmacy school...we'll say that we'll be paying on them forever.

    This has not been my best or most consistent week. I tried to be positive and focus on good instead of negative self talk. Eh, not so much. At least I am aware and working on changing my behaviors. Checking in here was helpful just to see that a lot of you are also finding it hard to stay focused. It is nice when we all have good successful loss weeks, but it also makes me feel less alone and like berating myself with food when I see others struggling this week.

    So, for those of you with inspirational success, keep up the great work!! For those of you who struggled this week, thank you so much for sharing!! :smile:

    Bad, bad, bad, bad weekend.

    Too much stress. Using food to cope.

    You aren't alone *hugs* I have been fighting a headache all weekend and did not make the best food choices either. It is all about whether you can start over or if you let that be an excuse to give up.

    I'm checking in with no change to my weight this week (201.2 still). I'm not really surprised though. The weekend was bad...bad...bad.

    Hey Amy, you must have done something right for the rest of the week if you had a bad weekend but didn't gain! Here's to a good week coming up.

    Good morning ladies! Just checking in... CW is 197.7.... 1.1 lb loss! Yay! I'm hoping the plateau has been broken for good!

    And I've come up with a mini goal.... My license says I weigh 160. I have to renew it this year on my birthday, Oct 30. My mini goal is to actually weigh what my license says by then! I think I can do it... It's definitely attainable, I'd have to lose a little less than
    5 lbs/month. This is the first mini goal I've set for myself with a date. Wish me luck! :happy:

    On another note, I've been reading about many of you having a bad week... I wish you the best of luck weighing in this morning! If the numbers aren't nice to you, don't let it get you down. It's the start of a new week! :flowerforyou:

    Hi everyone, it's Monday night here and I had a good weigh on this morning :)
    I've hit my first goal of 10kg (22 pounds) down, weighing in this week at 180 pounds - down 4.5 after being up last week.
    I know I ate better this week but not by that much, this really is an imprecise science isn't it?

    157.1 for me this week - not quite at my goal of being close to the 140s for my birthday (this Thurs), but it's not too far off and I might still lose a pound before then!

    Good luck to everyone else!

    Woo Hoo....158.3 for me. Hello 150's!!! It's been more than 7 years since I have seen the 150's! 140's here I come! I love weeks like this!

    Good morning, ladies!!! Have not really checked in here much the past week due to getting packed up for my move (getting settled in nicely!).

    Weighing in at 183.2 lbs this morning!! FINALLY a loss after two weeks of watching the scale go up!!

    Goals for this week include getting the remainder of my boxes unpacked and my pictures/art hung on the walls. Starting physical therapy for my knee/leg tomorrow so I am not sure what my workout goals will be. Went to the grocery store last night and stocked up the fridge and pantry so it should be a good week food-wise.

    Hope you all have a great week!!!

    Good morning ladies

    I'm 146 this morning, up 2 lbs. I'm not happy but I'm not upset after the weekend of sleepover party junk food that I splurged on! Didn't drink my water either days and my Saturday morning run was rained out! Yesterday I think I had a sugar and gluten hangover, so tired and lethargic all day.

    This week I'm back on track logging and drinking my water.

    Good job ladies and congrats to those who have lost!

    Exactly the same today at 238.3, far better than a gain with TOM! Hope everyone has a great day!

    Good for you setting your mini goal...I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!! :bigsmile: I notice when I set mini goals for myself I tend to lose focus, so I just eat right and work out and when I get to where I want to be (whenever that maybe) then I'll just have to maintain that weight.

    And, I did have a bad week, but I still managed to lose 1.5 pounds!! Yay....down to 150 this week...140's here I come!!! :-)
