    Hi gang... I'm here...

    I'm status quo too... no change from Monday :grumble:

    I guess that's better than going UP...

    5'7"
    181

    My 'goal' is a pound a week, but I'd LOVE for it to be more... :bigsmile:

    Me too!!!!!!!!

    5'4"
    138lbs

    goal 133

    Suggestion: to determine the winner, use percentage lost. So for those who have less are not at a disadvantage.
    Let me know what you think.

    Good luck. See you next Friday.

    Thats not very nice! I was just feeling guilty about what i've eaten yesterday and today. Trying to motivate myself to workout. Cakes won't help!...well, maybe they will...I'll think about how hard I have to work to burn those calories off!

    Mary24 - would it help if you read through your profile again? Look at the reasons why you joined in the first place . . . .

    Try and focus on one choice at a time - rather than looking at the big picture. Instead of dropping out, how about planning your next meal/snack? Make it something you enjoy, and count the calories, but go for a walk or do something to balance it out. Then move onto the next choice . . . do one choice at a time. Some choices may be good, others not as good, but at least you'll be moving in the right direction - rather than giving up!:flowerforyou:

    I don't know if this will help but I made a list of things I was looking forward to when I've lost some weight e.g. looking as good as my friends when I go out, being able to fit into smaller sizes etc etc and I got so excited that I decided that it was really worth it!

    I hope you find your motivation :flowerforyou:

    I agree with the other two, don't just quit, just start over tomorow is another day, just b/c you ate bad today, or even a couple days, tomorow is brand new!

    For example yesterday I had a big mac combo, which of course is not a very diet thing to do, but, as long as I don't do that everyday, and I work a little bit harder the rest of this week i'll probably be okay.

    We love you in our group, and you help to keep us going too! Just keep working out, and don't stress, you've done so good, and I know you can keep it up!!!
