    Hi everyone.

    So, for my piece of clothing..... I have an evening dress that I bought on sale for a cruise at the end of the year. It's a good 2 sizes too small, but at the rate I was losing I was sure I'd fit into it by November - I've slowed down a bit now, so am no longer so sure! Will have to measure ow many inches away I am.

    Bought three pairs of jeans, am picking the size three, I had a serious talk with myself today and dont think size zero is a good goal, I know where my hips are and how wide the can be, I just dont think its a realistic goal, I could do it but it wouldnt be in line with my other goals. Having reached my prebaby weight I will do photos next weekend when my son is away, am going to do illusion (or maybe not illusion) of nudity in front of my wide white slatted window as the morning sun comes in, am gonna do a beach bikini shot at Christmas for personal cards but as a part of a marketing campaign, new year new you bull**** (work)

    So far today had coffee with sugary cream, and then got to work and nabbed two pieces of pizza, am freaking out because not sure how to log them and dont know the damage so havent eaten since for fear of what Ive already done, dont want to have done so well today and gained it back tomorrow.

    Did a 1.5 mile hike through an underground cavern yesterday, and had a salad and a sandwich for lunch with a bag of baked Lay's chips and a banana as a snack. Been really lazy today because of all the steps we had to climb to get out of the cavern (approx. 100 steep steps). Went to Subway tonight for dinner and got a footlong Oven Roast Chicken - I skipped out on the condiments, got the whole wheat bread, and only at HALF. I'm so proud of myself today.

    This week's gonna be a super busy one - weigh-in tomorrow, vlog filming on Tuesday, babysitting on Wednesday, last minute packing on Friday, and then moving on Saturday and Sunday. I'm sure I'll be shedding some pounds! :)

    My "piece" is a clingy bandage-style red dress I bought for bf & my 2nd anniversary (coming up in 2 weeks - AH!) that I probably won't be wearing for our anniversary...would love to look BANGIN' in it my Christmas. When I tried it on, I was about 160 or so...now I'm 167. :sad:

    Entry for Amanda (NurseLocke)

    WEEK ONE:
    Challenge Starting Weight: 200#
    Current Weight: 200#
    Difference: 0
    Christmas Goal Weight: 150#
    Current Size: 14
    Goal Size: 8
    Aprox Minutes of Weekly Exercise: 100
    Highs of last week: Jogged even though I REALLY didn't want to x2.
    Lows of last week: Wasn't really "on" with food this week. Just didn't care.
    How to Improve (the lows): No fast-food.
    Tricks: From here on out, it's a sit down place & a place we've never visited before. (It'll cut down on the frequency in which I eat prepared meals!!
    Piece of Clothing I'm dying to get into: Black satin strapless dress!! It's so simple yet gorgeous!

    As slow as the weight has been coming off lately, I highly doubt a loss of 50# is an obtainable goal. BUT perhaps you ladies can give me the swift kick in the *kitten* that I need to succeed! Good luck to everyone this week!
