    I too had a rough day...got up late and had a brunch. Was not hungry til around 6pm-ish but was out shopping and did not want to stop for fast food or anything. Got home around 8 and I had a ton of homework to do. So to sum it up I was way under my calorie intake. Really glad I did not exercise today or it would have been twice as bad, yet I shopped for three hours!! So I guess I did walk a lot. EEEKKKK!!! Hope it doesnt bite me on the scale in the morning.!!! I did drink 96oz of water today and only 3 cups of coffee...

    Good luck in the morning everyone!!!!! :bigsmile:

    Cookie.....I wish I could say great, but unfortunately no time to exercise tonight...:cry:
    However...day 2 no soda! Yah. :happy: Just like you...I need to increase my water intake!

    Not really looking forward to weigh in tomorrow! I guess time will tell.

    Hope everyone is ready to Just Do It and Get 'er Done!

    Yay on the no soda progress!!!!! I am going on 4 months without it (have a little every blue moon) But I have gotten to the point where I dont even like the taste anymore...TOO SWEET!!!

    Wooo hooo....hanging out with you all must have done the trick! I finally lost a little! :happy:
    First time in 4 weeks that I've seen the scale budge!
    I am going to continue to do my work outs Turbo Fire & P90X and try like heck to stay away from diet soda!
    Drinking more water will only help make this possible.....Does anyone have any suggestions on a way to spruce up water to make it more tasteful without the calories?


    Ashmom....hang in there....there is always tomorrow!
    Maxylicous- welcome aboard!

    If only I saw these results every week!!!

    Welcome Maxylicous!!!!

    Shadke-- When I get tired up water all I do is squeeze some lemon in my bottle. But sometimes that not enough "spruce". I've heard people doing the Crystal Light. I havent had it in a year or so...only cause it is some unecessary calories. But now that I am close to my goal, I may start up again. Water does get boring!! Especially since you are used to drinking soda! LOL

    Oh, I forgot to add this little note...I went to a clothing store with my mother last night to look for her clothes...but I decided to try on a pair of jeans a size smaller than what I have been wearing..and they FIT!! I was extatic!!! My mom insisted on buying them for me as a congrats gift even though I told her Im not done yet!!! Haahaa...Was trying to work with the belt til I get down to where I want and "reward" my self with a new wardrobe. Anyway, long story short, I am now a size 5 (inches are coming off) thank goodness cuz the scale wasnt being very good to me lately!!!

    Hey all! Don't worry I will be weighing in today (sometime) I just dont want everyone to think I have left everyone hanging. Good job to everyone you are all doing great, keep up the awesome work!!!!


    Well......I just remembered that I had a scale at work and it says I gained 5lbs :sad:

    I will not let this discourage me, I think it is my eating. The past two days have been tough. I am still exercising though. The 5 pounds could be water weight with foods that have too much sodium ? Any guidance would be great. I also do not exercise long enough, but after next week I will have a lot more time to work out which I am so psyched about!!!! Talk to you all soon:)

    don't feel "out of place" at all! this is EXACTLY the place that you should be right now (on mfp).
    we all have our different SWs but our goals are all the same...to lead a healthy and active lifestyle and enjoy our time with the ones that we love...which for most of us entails losing some of the "extra" LBs that we've managed to accumulate over the years ;)
    good luck to all of us and happy friday!!!!!!!

    Hi everyone, can I join the group as well? My starting weight for today is 163.8, and I would like to be at 150 by the end of May. (Less would be fine with me as well!)

    Whatever weight you are today is the perfect place to start. Everyone started from somewhere, and you're among friends who want to support and encourage you :) You can do it! I started at 225, and now am at 160, with 20 more to lose. Some people start out where I want to end up :P It's fantastic that we all have different goals and body types :)
