    I weighed in this morning just to see because I knew my sodium was pretty high on Mother's day and it affected my Monday weigh-in. So, now instead of 310.4 it is now 308.6! I can't wait for my next official check.

    Had a nice reply all typed up, then my laptop froze (it's an old hand-me-down from work, so it's losing steam).

    So, now typing on the itty bitty family iPod.

    So excited to have made the chart this week!! Wahh hoo!

    Kristen, thanks for all the time you put into updating that- I love seeing the new results each week.

    So much going on lately, work is mad busy, home is non-stop (& in dire need of a cleaning)...

    I love the challenges for this week! I'm in on both.

    Wishing everyone a wondrous week!

    Hugs,
    Amy

    - Putting on a dress, a skirt or capris/shorts and going for a walk outside, showing off our beautiful legs at least once this week? :glasses: We worked so hard this winter and - I at least - haven't had the chance to show them off enough yet! Be proud of your accomplishment, and take the opportunity to look at yourself when you walk in front of a window, admiring yourself!!!:laugh: Sometimes, when we're on a diet, I believe we become so hard on ourselves, it's important to take the time to congratulate ourselves too. Everybody in the challenge did amazing so far and deserves praise, even if it comes from ourselves! So this week's first challenge is: GO OUTSIDE AND BE YOUR CONFIDENT SEXY SELF! :blushing:

    - Also, how about taking advantage of all the lovely seasonal fruits and veggies? (I love Spring!:smile: ). How about trying something new? A fruit or vegetable you never had (fiddleheads, white asparagus, a new variety of tomato, rhubarb, wild garlic, kale...the possibilities are endless!) and cooking something with it?

    Very fitting challenges that I'm actually going to have to put off until next week. The movers just came and boxed up all of my clothing (including my dresses, but I technically wore one earlier this week) but I've been in the mood for a dress lately anyway which is just odd given the fact that I don't like to wear them because my thighs rub together and I get heat rash and just ugh. And I can't cook a damn thing for the rest of the week as we'll be living in a hotel. I can however request my mother-in-law to buy something new starting next week when we stay with her for a month. :)

    yeah, i was a little disappointed by not losing anything over this last week, but it rained heavy almost all week, so that curbed alot of my exercise (not like i didnt try though).

    One good thing though was seeing that just by eating healthier, i can maintain my weight and not gain, so i guess i can count this as a sort of mini-win for the week, lol.

    I will be wearing a cocktail dress this evening for my daughter's Pin Dinner (it's a ceremonial thing where all the new graduate nurses receive their nursing pins). I'm excited! =)

    "Putting on a dress, a skirt or capris/shorts and going for a walk outside" Here is evidence that I did one of the challenges (so far).

    I wore capris to work yesterday, and as I was glancing at myself in the window after work with my daughter I was thinking about this challenge and that I was looking more average than obese. Yea me! I will keep working on trying to add new food. I did try kiwi yesterday, but I'm not sure if that counts. It has been a long time since I had any.

    I would say I'm disappointed in the little amount that I lost but I can't really say that. I've got all sorts of reasons and excuses ranging from I'm moving and getting packed up so therefore I didn't have time to go to the gym (which the gym aspect is a lie so at least I'm being honest) to it's by TOM. But whatever the reason, I'm not as close to my 50 pound goal by next Tuesday as I would like to be and that's okay. I still have until next Tuesday morning to get there. And if I don't get there then I'm not going to stress about it because it's no big deal in the end.

    I loved the challenge. Bought a new little black dress, and rocked it!
    Love wearing shorts so that one was easy.

    I had the absolute greatest feeling today and I wanted to share it with y'all since it coincides with the theme of this group. I was walking with my family to go eat dinner at McDonald's (oh for shame I know haha) since we're leaving Korea on Tuesday and just won't be able to get certain items back in the US that we can get here. But anyway, we're walking to dinner and I'm suddenly struck with this euphoric feeling that I look AMAZING! Yeah I know I'm still about 110 pounds away from my goal but I actually felt like I looked good and "thin in my skin" :) I know that at 47 pounds lighter now than I was at the beginning of the year that I look thinner. I'm positive a lot of this has to do with the hand me down jeans I got from a friend that fit me and therefore I'm not wearing super baggy pants anymore. But it seriously felt incredible to feel like I looked good instead of feeling like I looked like a fat lump.

    Great for you ShadowKitty. I think it's an important step when you're losing weight to shift clothes sizes. It's hard to spend money on new clothes when you're thingking "I'm not done yet and I won't be able to wear these new ones for long before they won't fit." but I do think it's important that we take our new shapes out for a test drive every now and then.

    What part of Korea do you live in? We lived in Chinhae for two years...had a great time there. Now the closest place that serves bulgogi is a 45 mile drive away...and we go every three weeks or so. Loved all the varieties of kimchi we could get there.

    Had a rough week, was hungry the whole time. I decided to change my goals to just 1 pound a week for a while and hopefully that works to give me more motivation. Going to try this for two weeks and then might need a maintenance week. It is so nice to be part of group with all you. You all inspire me and help me to get through when I'm having a tough time I know I'm not alone.

    so shattered and sore this evening. Been sailing for just under 7 hours today. It was great in dingy, really windy, large swell but managed to keep upright and teach the scouts that were out. My back and stomach muscles are complaining as well as my arms and shoulders and my legs are very bruised.
    But it was fun and burnt loads of calories!!!
    Going to bed early tonight as back out on the water at 8am tomorrow.
