    too late to join??? *insert begging puppy dog face here* :laugh:

    Hee-hee... Way too cute of a post to say no! I'm pretty sure we're an open thread and anyone can join!

    Went swimming this morning, and now I'm off to lunch with my mom! We don't get to do it very often... Salad bar for me! I have kickboxing and 2 hours of volleyball tonight, so I'm really looking forward to a yummy dinner tonight. Hope everyone has a great day!

    whew! thanks for letting me join even though i'm a gazillion or so days late... :tongue:

    Current weight: 131 lbs.
    Goal weight: 120 lbs (and then we'll see about more!)

    If I set myself at a pace of 1.1 lbs/week, I should reach my GW by TD! That would be awesome! But seeming that these are "the last 10 lbs" it might be easier said than done. But this site is AMAZING and i LOVE reading through all of your posts!

    As far as my water goal, it figures around 52oz/day. But I strive for 4-16oz bottles, which gives me 64...so I'd say I'm set there (even though it never feels like thats enough!!)

    :drinker: Cheers to everyone here and good luck to us all in our journey until TD arrives. Just remember this, also my motto to get me thru my days "NOTHING...and I mean NOTHING! tastes as good as thin feels!!!" :wink:

    hey guys! did the shred this morning for the first time in MONTHS since i had been out of the country and visiting family :( it was painful, but felt good to get back into it. tomorrow i am doing it again but then also hitting the elliptical at the gym for some more cardio!

    today was rough i was at a training all day and they "fed us"!!! breakfast: dunkin donuts munchkins!!! lunch: pizza!! it was so tough. I had brought an apple thinking the snacks would be unhealthy but I thought they would have marginally better options :( ill know better next time... time for a small salad for dinner, although since i ate so much food im not that hungry anyways

    thank you for those who wrote to me last night. I went to bed and missed ya!

    As I confessed on another thread, I did fantastic for 2 days. Then I picked up a goodie for the 'family' cause I thought I was in control. I got a big sugar problem. Well, I came home and ate it. Put me 3 pts over my fat allotment but I was still under my calories.

    I don't know how damaging that is but I did learn that that sugar :mad: demon is a liar and I listened.

    I really want that 20 pounds for my birthday. I really do. So today I wrote everything down and am 4 gms under my fat. Do you think that makes up for it? Please all you Gobblers out there. Stick with me cause I am turning 55 and to make it through the depression a nice hunk of fat gone would do the trick.

    So appreciate you all. kc

    I'd love to join this challenge. I like to take life one day at a time, but yesterday someone asked me how I was going to handle eating at Thanksgiving and my brain raced into the future.

    My starting weight January14---- 183
    Current weight, September 1
    130

    My goal weight
    118

    If I lost a pound a week I'd get to my goal by Thanksgiving but I don't think losing a pound a week is realistic now that I'm closer to my goal so my realistic goal is 124 by Thanksgiving.

    I've been doing pretty well with water drinking although some nights I drink 32 ounces in the last hour before I go to bed because I'm so far behind. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I try to drink 64 ounces a day which is a little higher than the formula suggested at the beginning of this thread.

    In January I gradually quit drinking coffee, then I slowly eliminated putting any sweetener in my tea and drank the rest of my Crystal Lite supply. Now I drink only unsweetened herb tea and water.

    Good luck to all of us,
    Barbie

    The sugar demon? That's a great first for me! I've never heard it that way, but it's very fitting!:laugh:
    As long as you were under your calories, I think you should be okay. Just keep in mind that where your calories consistently come from will effect you in the long run-as long as it's not a habit, you should be okay! It's not like you've been living off of crispy cremes for your all your meals!:wink:

    I actually had a soft-serve ice cream cone with my girls... EEEEeeep!:sick: But I have a step/kickboxing class tonight, plus 2 hours of volleyball an hour later, AND I went swimming earlier this morning! I know 150 calories will not be a factor tonight after that many calories get burned!!!

    Whoo Hoo! I made it past my my water intake!!! I am so proud of myself!
    It may sound crazy but that is a huge goal for me!

    I have issues with the sugar demon too! I had been drinking Mt Dew for years (since middle school). I learnd that Mt Dew had been Alcohol with me, which alcoholics run deep in my family. I had gotten off of it with each pregnancy (somehow:huh: ) but always managed to get addicted again. Once I learned that I was dependant on it (crazy, I know), I knew I had to quit for good! Ihad even been shifting my food cals to work around it....and was barely eating:embarassed: . So I have been off for about a month (not easy, I was very sick) and kicked the caffine, but I still crave the sugar. I have been doing extra workouts to eat a little icecream at night. I have been eating the edy's slow churned (1/2 the fat and cals). Its been helping, but I know its not good. So I am weaning myself off that. Hopefully soon I will be sugar free.
    You all must think I am crazy....I sound crazy!

    See you all tomorrow for weigh in day. I hope I remeber in the morning! I have to get my daughter ready for her first day at pre-k (tear)!:brokenheart: :sad:

    You're not crazy at all... And good luck with your daughter! I cried my head off last year... And now my youngest is in kindergarten, and my oldest is in 4th grade! I'm kid free all day, and it's been really hard!

    I got done with volleyball, and then I managed to drink enough water to make me feel like a water cistern... I can literally hear it sloshing around! I was sooo thirsty, though! Good night everyone!

    OK well it is Thursday afternoon my time! Probably early morning where most of you are. I have to get my butt in gear we have so many new members I must log in. Today is weigh in Day! If you recently joined do not worry you can just wait till next week. If you want to give me your weight today that is fine also.

    This week -191.2 I am totally blaming AF which came yesterday. I had been down to 189.4. It could also be that whole row of PB Oreo's but shh! Anyway I hope I do much better next week! Hope you all had a great week!

    Hi guys- had a real lousy week with my eating.

    Last week weight: 159.4
    This week: 160.4

    I am training for a 1/2 marathon in October, though. So my exercise and water intake are right where they should be. I gave in to a lot of urges after running 16 miles this week :)

    After seeing all your successes, it's motivating me to eat a lot more clean this week.

    For those of you who prayed for my Jacob's problem with not having a teacher at school, well thank you! He has been assigned to a very good one. The one I prayed for. I am trying so hard to have God direct my paths and trust Him along the way.

    This means that I get to get back to my walking and writing my children's books. I am excited. And....
    Da Da Dot Da! I am doing so good on my food. i am writing it down and eating the frozen dinners at dinner time. No stress and the food is already measured. It works for me. Be blessed, kc
