    I am soooooooooooo disappointed with myself this week. I gained again... Up 2 pounds! I know, I haven't been eating that well or working so hard on exercising... but I've been so busy... I wish things would just balance out! I have been eating vegetables like they are going out of style mind you... My body is sure reacting to that one... but, the scale doesn't seem to care. I was wearing a pair of pants today, that if I ran would fall off. I was playing soccer with my niece and nephew tonight. I know they were always a little loose, but I don't think I ever had a problem of them falling off before... I don't know... I'm just so confused... My life has been a real roller coaster! I'm really emotional most of the time... and now this... the scale going in the wrong direction again. Maybe I'm supposed to get pissed off and promise to do so much more... but I haven't been following through on all my promises, so I can't do that anymore... Honesty is the best policy... my honesty now, is that I will have a great week with my niece and nephew. Which means I'll be active with them. My other truth, I will try to eat at home or mom's house all week... just need to stay away from mom's deserts! The only problem is, it insults her if I don't have any. I hate hurting people's feelings... Last truth, I will take things one day at a time... that's all I can do. I might try to enter all the food I eat. I usually start doing so well in the morning and then I run out of time by the evening... life happens.


    I hope you feel alittle better getting that off your chest. So many times have I been in your same spot.....THINKING I am not eating that bad....but if you really logged everything in you are probably way over you calories. It hard when you are emotional that's when I pull out more food. But just do you best try to keep healthy things around or low calorie and really make a promise to log in EVERYTHING this week and see what happens!!! Also when you go get healthy choices like my fav Pop chips. Take the time to portion them out. Then you will know when you grab a bag it's 120 cals. You can do it!!!! Hang in there ;)

    This last week, I feel off the bandwagon, really didn't note what I was eating.. so I really didn't lose anything... this week will be better

    The past two weeks have been harder for me food-wise and exercise-wise. I had family in town for a few days the previous week and that made it very difficult to get to the gym, plus we ate out most meals - double whammy. Still tried to keep everything in reason and had a modest loss of about .8 (I'll take it! It's just I have a long way to go!). Then this past week I was at a conference all day each week day, with limited time for exercise during the day - did some walking during the lunch break but it was VERY hot, 90s+, so couldn't get too vigorous. Also, ate out lunch those days at a delicious Greek restaurant - the food was wonderful and fresh but probably well over what I usually eat for lunch at home. At night it was very hard to get to the gym. Still had a modest loss again of about .8, so clearly was able to keep things moderate. I'm excited to be back working at home this week where it's much easier to control the calories and get to the gym - but next week = vacation, AAHH! It will be wonderful but a test of all I'm working so hard to do on MFP. Wish me luck!

    Grrrrr....... Came into work this morning to find out that I was signed up for an 8 hours training for TODAY!!! I'll get everything up as soon as I can.

    I think I may just change the posting to automatically be Monday nights so this way you're all not waiting araond all day on Mondays. Do you guys have any objections to this change?

    CW - 254 - no change

    No change...but not disappointed in that, since I've just gotten home from a super fun and very busy (but not at all nutritious) weekend in New York City. Guess all that walking helped to cancel out the pizza, huh? :)

    And I echo the others, Jenn...whatever works for you is fine with me!

    Hey Everyone!
    Hope all had a great week working toward your goals. The jump rope challenge was a great quick way for me to get my heart rate up between moving, unpacking, and cleaning my new apartment this week!
    Thanks for the awesome challenge!

    Here's my weigh in:

    current weight - 297

    UGH!!! I gained 3 pounds over the weekend! WTH?!? I even exercised more than 1400 calories OFF so what gives???

    Am I supposed to eat back what I burn off in addition to the calories I'm supposed to consume daily?? Cuz this isn't working very well!

    Jenn, I have no problem with the change of day. Just to be clear, what day would you prefer we submit our weigh-in?

    Yes you are supposed to eat your exercise calories!!! Make sure you drink a lot of water too. That will help the pounds come off.


    Monday is fine for me too :)
