    I'm a little behind goal but hoping some of it's water weight. Going to cut back on my sodium this week in hopes that I can catch up!

    Good luck everyone! ☺

    Hello Thinnies!

    Well after some sedentary days (mostly due to busy schedule) - I got in a great power walk today while DS8 was at baseball practice. Oooh if felt delighful (although it is wicked cold here! brrr)

    I was thinking about those first few weeks when you start a weight loss/fitness program & how motivated you can be (I think Purple Cookie was mentioning how she was missing that motivation from the "early days" of losing weight). I like to think of it as the "honeymoon period" - because I know I have to prepare to find ways to keep the motivation alive! So....here are some things I try...
    1. Finding some new healthy recipes to try (love skinnytaste.com)
    2. Reading a book by someone who has been there, done that in terms of weight loss - or overcoming an obstacle (Ali Francis (1st female BL winner has a book)... Jennifer Hudson has a book... Lance Armstrong's "It's not about the bike" was very motivational...
    3. I watch the Biggest Loser each week for inspiration
    4. I've seen a few episodes of "I used to be fat" on MTV
    5. If you've ever seen "I used to be fat" - they make a big countdown calendar ie: 100 days until college starts, so each page has a number on it until you reach the end (100, 99, etc)... I'm thinking of making a countdown to my next "big" event (my 20th HIgh School reunion)
    6. Reading a success story
    7. Joining / participating in a challenge (when I'm lacking motivation, I come on here & get inspired by what others are up to)

    Those are just a few ideas to try to keep my focused - or to bring my focus back

    purplecookie - hoping you can get your motivation mojo back up & running. You've been so successful - keep the streak alive! :)

    KristenKC - thanks for sharing the Olivia method - I finally understand it now the way you explained it!

    legnarevocrednu - great work getting down 3 pounds

    brinascat (Nancy) - yay on the loss!
    Myjourney2 - we all have those bad days - what can make them work for us is to get back up & keep going instead of letting ourselves be destroyed or our efforts halted because of them

    ksraider (regina) - great job on the loss!

    Brenda - good work maintaining

    getfitE - do you have access to a Microwave? I like to make things in my crockpot, then put single serve leftovers in 2 cup tupperware & freeze - then I can grab lunch on the go. (turkey chilli, soup, skinnytaste santa fe chicken)...Or, I'll whip up a batch of healthy muffins & freeze - if I grab one on the go, it usually thaws by the time I get whereever I'm going. I also pack my lunch the night before most of the time (or bad last minute choices would ensue). Ie: organic turkey on a mini bagel topped with 1/2 oz of fresh mozerella, fresh basil, sliced tomato (I package the tomato separately so that my sandwich doesn't get mushy). Single serve container of cottage cheese with baby carrots.... Putting some of your "snacky" foods in mini-snack bags once home to grab on the go (ie: pretzels, nuts, cheddar cheese rice cakes...)

    Pbprincess/Crystal - great work on the loss! Love that you had a family fitness activity this week!

    howeasyis (Lissa) great job on the loss!

    surferfreak07 - great job on the workouts & the pound loss!

    crysbutcher3 - wow on the amount of overtime you put in! That will be a very pretty paycheck! Love that you treated yourself to the movies & a full night sleep after your busy week!

    meerkat70 - great job!

    tdamask - yay on the loss!

    caitlinws - nice work this week!

    kadazle - great job keeping things up at the gym!

    losing4life - yay on eating above your BMR!

    trimformecmb - christine! Yay on being down 2.5!!! Excellent work! So very happy for you :)

    KristinKT - welcome to the 160's!!! Can't wait to make the same trip myself! You've come a long way - so inspiring!

    audrey - good luck traveling!

    Roni - another great week! Fantastic work!

    Wishing you all a wonderful weigh in!

    I've never heard of this show (which honestly isn't a big surprise as I've pretty much lived out of the US pop culture loop for the past 3 years thanks to the military, but I do this. My current countdown is until we PCS from our current overseas duty location back to the United States. While we sadly still don't have an official flight date, we are going to be out of here in 30 days or less. I'm hoping to lose 50 pounds by then. I'm only 11.6 pounds away, which seems doable to me if we're here for exactly 30 more days. If we leave before then, then it's going to require a big weight loss every week (since we could be leaving as early as 20 days from now!) But regardless of when we leave, I'm not going to let my total weight loss get me down in case I don't actually reach that 50 pounds. Because I will still be at a smaller weight going home than I was coming here 3 years ago. :)

    Hi all,

    My weight in is on Friday's:

    Name/ real name: Tatyanne/Andreia

    SW: 146
    GW: 136

    04/06: 146.0
    04/13: 144.2
    04/20: 145.5

    This was not a good week :sad:
    I'm on 30DS, and today was the last day of Level 2. It was hard for my backs and the worst times was when the alarm sounded (my neck and shoulders felt really soared) as the only time I have to exercise is in the morning this week i didn't achieve the exercise calories. I'm feeling bloated as well, definitely with some water retention.

    I will work towards better results this week.

    Kisses,
    Tatyanne

    Hey guys,

    Thanks so much for the support. I'm feeling a bit better about things. I'm still sure that tomorrow's weigh in will be... well, shocking and upsetting, but I'm prepared for it. And this week is going to be awesome. I'm going to make sure it is, because feeling this crappy about things isn't fun. Eating crappy food isn't worth this feeling of disappointment.

    Does anyone have any ideas for filling, super cheap lunches/snacks for work? I think my main issue is that I get really hungry at work (still trying to sort out whether or not it is emotional/boredom/stress eating or proper hunger) and I end up going for the vending machine, which is really cheap where I work. I'm so unbelievably broke this week that I feel like I can't afford healthier options, but I'm sure that isn't true. I'd love some suggestions!

    Not really a whole lunch idea but... pop corn! Buy the regular kernels in the bag (unpopped). Put about 1/4 to a 1/3 cup in a glass bowl with a lid in the microwave for about 2 mins. 30 sec... and boom! Delicious! Love it with parmesan cheese and creole seasoning. Careful because the bowl is SUPER hot when it's finished!

    I can't believe that my weight has been the exact same number for this long! I'm trying to let it go, but it's really frustrating. I had gotten impatient and moved my weight loss goal to 1.5 lbs per week about a month ago....that obviously isn't working for me. Going to set my goal back to 1 lb per week and hopefully I will start losing again!!

    I work 12 hour shifts and I pack Tuna sandwiches or Egg sandwiches...at least I have been lately and it fills me up which is what I aim for. I also take crackers (I change it up every so often) as a nibbler when I'm taking my 10 minute breaks. Those sandwiches are cheap and quick to make. :wink: I agree with the popcorn thing also...I have done that too. I used to take carrots, but to be honest, they just don't fill me up that much. If they fill you up maybe take some of those. So very glad to see you getting back on the horse after your disappointing week. Way to go! :flowerforyou:

    Well, i had a crazy week and it showed in the scale. I've been driving an hour to work and back to the mountains because I'm cat sitting for my daughter who ran a marathon in Madrid yesterday. I was a bit tired and slacked off the exercise and ate too many snacks....ugh! So, I'm leaving the cat for a couple of days and am doing a challenge to burn at least 500 calories every day this week (not Friday). I got a great start with a 1200 calorie burn yesterday with a long gym workout and a hike in the mountains. Hope to do better with the snacking too. So, I hope everyone has had great results this week and I am going to work hard to improve this week!!

    I have been wavering between 190 and 191 but I'm claiming 190 because I KNOW I will NOT be in the 190's next week! Tried Zumba for the Wii for the first time last night with the hubby and WOW! No wonder dancers have insane bodies. I hope to work up to an intermediate workout by next week because the low intensity one is crazy hard!

    Kristen- Thanks for posting about the Olivia method... I think I understand it a bit more but might wait until school is over so I can fully commit... not sure if I have enough brain power at the end of the day to do all those calculations... we shall see!
