Good Morning, just a little hello and how's everyone before the day gets rolling. This month should be an interesting challenge for me, we have 3 Leos in the family so its Birthday month. I am hoping to be well into the 150's come my birthday on the 17th. On the other hand I would like a treat on my bday lol. How do you deal with birthdays and holidays? Would love some feedback.
I have been calling this my new way of eating/lifestyle change instead of a diet. I eat well 98% of the time and allow myself a teeny bit of something IF I realllly want it. It seems to help dash the cravings and I become more motivated to go another month or two before another treat. I know for myself if I call it a diet and I "fall off" I become very dissapointed in myself and am all gloom and doom. So viewing it as I eat well the majority of the time has helped me a lot.
Hugs,
Stacy0 -

It's your Birthday, enjoy it!!! ( and Happy Birthday!!!). I just had my BDay the beginning of July, we went to Japanese Steakhouse. I didn't miss out on any of it. I just ate smaller portions and boxed up the rest for lunch the next day.
My daughters Bday party is next week end, so I will be making diet soda cupcakes for myself and anyone else who doesn't want the extra carbs and sugar. That way i can have cake with her and not feel guilty!0 -
Hi All, if anyone has any challenges to post for the week that they missed please do so soon so i can tally everything up and get our weekly points total. hope everyone has a great weigh-in tomorrow!!
By the way, what time zone is everyone in?? It always seems like I'm the first one checking-in in the mornings. I'm in Eastern Standard.0 -
I got in my sleep last night!
I just finished my cardio and strength for the challenge!
I am in Maryland so ... EST as well. My kids are still home for summer break and don't even go back till the 29th! I try to check in once I get at least one cup of coffee into the bloodstream! LOL!
I lost weight according to the scale Monday, but not today. Rawr! >.< I'm hoping to see the same weight tomorrow I saw Monday! LOL! I really hate the fluctuation that goes on with the scale. But at the same time I like to make sure I'm on track too. I have been lacking in the H2O department for a few days too. :-/0 -
Oh got mine all done, do I need to post that daily or is a weekly ok?
PST here0 -

I guess I'm just up too early, 5:45am. That's when I do my a.m. workout, it's one of the few times I have all to myself. As far as the scale goes I check it every morning (obsessive I know), I won't record a loss unless I see the lower number on the scale three mornings in a row, that way I sure it's not just a fluctuation. Drinking enough water is a MAJOR factor in my weight loss too. If I don't drink enough I'll know it the next day or so, cause there won't be any loss at all. Funny how that works.0 -
