Hey fellow teamsters! Just wanted to give myself a bit of a pat on the back...after a really off day yesterday, I entered today determined to do better...and I did! I ate well all day...and when my family and I went out to a movie tonight I did indulge in some popcorn. I originally planned Taco Bell Fresco items for dinner, but I wanted to make sure I didn't go over my calories...so I got a salad from Subway.

I forgot to ask for dressing when I was there, so at Arbys (where my mom and brother were eating) I asked for a packet of dressing...the lowest calorie option they had was a balsamic vinaigrette...so I asked for that...and when I saw the calories...I knew it wasn't something I wanted to eat...so I got out of the car and walked (yes walked!) back to Subway (it wasn't all that far though lol...don't be too impressed!) and asked for the fat free honey mustard dressing...saved myself 100 calories at least and burnt some off walking over there...

Tonight I still have 136 calories left, and I plan to use those calories for some sparkling cider at midnight...yes I indulged a bit tonight, but I made sacrifices elsewhere and made it work...

And on top of all that, I was "talked to" at work today for something I didn't do, and I may face repercussions (anything from getting written up, getting probation, and up to termination -- please keep me in your prayers, as I know what happened wasn't my fault and I shouldn't be held responsble). I was very tempted to say screw it and eat whatever I wanted, but I stuck to the plan today...knowing that I didn't want to let you guys down for weigh in tomorrow...so thanks for holding me accountable! Go black!

Way to go BrandNewLaura - very impressive given the stress in your life yesterday.

I'm keeping you in my thoughts for work issues. Hopefully, this will all blow over and work out in the end.

Hang tough.. jb

I'm pretty sure Robin & Batman had a "thing". LOL

I was right. My scale set me up & I was up 2# this morning. There are no words to tell you how annoyed I am with this. I did really well yesterday, too! Whatever. Bring on the challenges!

I thought about putting on my levis, sweater, boots and socks to weigh in the first time....that way when I weighed in next week I would def be done 5 pounds!!

Alas, I did not and have gained only 1/2 a pound. I cannot seem to break this plateau.
In 8 weeks I have:
increased my calories to 1400 from 1200 and eaten no exer cals (2 wks)
stayed at 1300 and ate exercise cals (2 wks)
eaten at my maint cals for 1 week
eaten 1200, exercised each day for 30 minutes, eaten my exercise calories (the past 2 weeks)

I have not gained, but I have not lost either. I just cant figure out how to bust it up. I am thinking of going to a nutritionist.

I am not giving up, that is why I joined BL BLACK TEAM ROCKS challenge. I feel if I am accountable I will not say the heck with it!

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! :flowerforyou:

Have you tried doing a different workout routine? Thats worked in the past for me.

I was on a 6mnth plateau when i decided to follow a different routine and the weight started coming off agian....

Good Luck,i know from experience how frustrating a weight loss stand still is.

That is my new challenge! I use the ellip 1 day, walk in the park 1 day, use DVD Walk 4 fast miles and then do a weight circuit 2 days a week. I am hoping this will PUSH me out....6 months:sad: :sad: :sad:

I will be MIA if this lasts 6 months....how did you DO it!

I have gone back to basics.
