I had a little trouble with snacks at school this week but I got myself back on track and worked out a little more. I had great support this week, besides all of you I saw many people that I have not seen over the summer. The positive comments made me realize that all of the work I have done of the summer is really paying off and is noticable. Yay. Cingratulations to all who are making progress and to those who struggled this week keep on plugging, You will get there a step at a time. Since I have started this i have never lost more than 1.8 pounds in a week, usually between .5 and 1.5, but you put all of those weeks together and it adds up. good luck all. Thanks for the support. And Jenn thanks for the challenges and all of the work0 -

hang in ther Roseagree. We all have bad days.Hello CCC,
Well let me tell you about my day.:sad: :sad: :sad: I decided to use a new eyeliner about 1 1/2 days ago. Well needless to say I woke up this morning with my eyes half swollen shut :noway: I am apperently allergic to that eyeliner!!!!!! Well I am a hairstylist and my apperence means alot :sad: :mad: I called in work today to go to the doctor for them to give me something I could have bought at walmart:grumble: :grumble:
Well because I was so upset I decided to FEED MY EMOTIONS!! lol I have done so well and now I am so dissapointed in myself because I ate ALOT of cake!! (what was my husband thinking when he baked a cake :huh: )
I normally try not to complain about my personal life on the internet but hell thats why im in this group, to get the support I want and need :blushing: Needless to say I am not weighing in untill sunday and hopefully I will burn this cake off of me:embarassed: Anyways thanks for the support and reading my comment!
lol I think I just needed to vent to someone other than my husband:bigsmile: :bigsmile:
I agree! It will be fine! If it's not happening on a daily basic then I'm sure it isn't going to hurt you to bad this one time. Try and drink more water when that kind of thing happens. Thanks for sharing and just keep your head up high :happy:0 -
Not really looking foreward to weighing in tomorrow :ohwell: My friend TOM is here and it will be the first time having him to visit since I've started my weight lose journey. I almost just want to skip this weeks weigh in but I'm going to make myself do it.
As for the chanllenges this week: I'm not doing to hot on either (not even going to try and make an excuse). I am going to try and start up doing Turbo Fire again starting Monday and I need to work harder on getting my challenges done!0 -
Hey Friends ~ TOM will be with me this week :grumble: Since I have to get older I think it's my time for him to go away for ever!!!! When will that happed?? Since today is the day he moved in I am up, but only .8. I'm cool with that, just going to keep on keepin on!!
Enjoy the weekend - I am heading out to step class.....Do you have exercise on your list today ??:bigsmile:

Hey everybody! My weight finally budged! YEA! :happy: So happy. I'm at 173 now. I also did 60 crossovers so far, so I'll do some more tomorrow. I usually do about 30 everyday. I like those. I love doing different kinds of sit ups, because while they don't show on the outside (yet), underneath it all, I can feel them!
To all of those posts I read that had a hard week, don't give up!! We are here for you. Hang in there. I was just talking with my husband and kids about weight and why people gain weight and end up being overweight (I prefer the term 'overweight' as opposed to the "ob" word - I hate that word :grumble: ), and I said (before I ever read a post), people that are overweight turn to food sometimes when they are dealing with major stress. The hardest part of losing weight isn't necessarily losing the weight; it's learning how to deal differently with the stress in our lives. We're learning how turn to each other and activity for support instead of turning to food. I think a lot of us on this journey are that way, so just remember, when things have got you down, there are a lot of other people going through the same things that you are. That's why we're all here; to get through it together and help each other. :flowerforyou: You are NEVER alone. You will have good days and bad days, but in the end, my hope for each one of you is that the good days prevail!

Thanks guys for your support! I really hate this weigh in coming. I finally got something to help my face and its a staroid. Not only does is make me feel werid but it makes me eat and I havent been making the best choices. :indifferent: But its making me thirsty as well so I have been drinking alot of water. My face is starting to look better so I am not going to take the meds anymore. I just wanted something to boost the reaction down some for work today :blushing: but I went to work and I survied:happy: But I poooped and I am going to bed :yawn:

Thanks Kristin. But I'm starting to worry that I might be heading towards a plateau. I weighed 199.8 on July 23rd too, then I went up to 200 again one week later, weighed 200 again the week after that, and today I'm down to 199.8 again! I'm just hoping to see some changes when it's time to do our measurements.
Next week the Weight Watchers topic is about plateaus, so I hope to learn some new things! They always say plateaus are a normal part of the journey but it's still worrisome when it happens to you! 0 -
1 lb down - 204
And a funny (strange not haha) thing happened today. I am of an age when TOM has been a thing of the past for two years and NOT missed. But today I am back in the world of menstruation. This may explain my munchies urges all last week, because I have been doing pretty well up until then.0 -
I'm at 173! Last week the scale was showing 176 (although it went down like a lb. after 1 day, since I think a bit of that was water weight, from all the salt-pretzels).
Very happy with my 173... makes 155 by Christmas seem a lot more do-able!

I'm BACK!! I've been away on Vacation... spectacular vacation and I was so good up until it because I was standing in a wedding while there but I let myself indulge while away. Now I'm trying to gain back the motivation I had before. I've gotten healthy snacks as a start and am slowly getting back into working out (I did do alot of walking while away but it didn't feel like enough).
Jumped back into exercise Friday night with a charity event I organized here at the fitness centre I work at... we had a 1 hour spin class, 1/2 hour bootcamp, and 1/2 hour yoga... I jumped in on the spin and yoga and was dripping in sweat, I felt spectacular!! This has given me more motivation to get moving... however, being diabetic I'm dealing with high sugars that I can't seem to get down so I'm really worried about pushing myself too hard today... BUT I'm going to be moving my body somehow at 3pm! haha
I'll weigh myself when I'm home tonight and report in again. I missed this thread while away, so glad to be back with yas! :flowerforyou:0 -

That is just like life to throw in a plateau when we are at a major turning point!! I like to tell myself (over and over) that my body is not used to making healthy choices, and it is just taking some time catching up. Your body will eventually join you again in your journey in your onederland adventure to your goal weight. Don't give up being the leader in your journey.
Oh, and I am definitely preaching to myself too since I am getting closer to seeing a one in the hundreds column too. Keep making those good choices, and your body will eventually join you.:flowerforyou:0 -

Sleeping challenge = fail. I came to terms with my chronic insomnia years ago, but it's still frustrating because I like to complete all challenges.
And, thus, because I was feeling frustrated and a failure, I didn't complete ANY of my crossovers, and really don't have any motivation to do them today.0 -
oops, i posted in last week's thread :blushing:
last week - 211.8
this week - 209.8
week's loss - 2 lbs :flowerforyou:0 -
