    Hi everyone I am still here! I am sorry I have been MIA! I have had a really bad couple of weeks with nothing but gain. I know why I am gaining. I started a new job and have not found a new time to work out. I also have been eating horrible and I know it but I have been so stressed. Anyway I am trying to start back today. I went to the gym and am trying to eat better. Hopefully I am on the right track.

    Thanks!!! @ Jlbay & Akgrant

    I think only weighing myself once a week in going to help alot. Its going to motivate me to want to lbs in dfference instead pts of lbs( like I do when I weigh myself everyday).

    I'd almost forgotten about weekly challenges.

    I drink a lot of water. :bigsmile:
    I gave up soda a long time ago so that's not a problem :bigsmile:
    I was faithful doing crunches for awhile but no so much lately :mad: :sad:
    I don't snack after my planned cereal snack at 8:30 PM :bigsmile:

    If there were others, I forgot what they were. Should we add a new one?

    I've been keeping up with our challenges. So, I'm ready for a new one. Anyone have any ideas??
    I can't think of any - except the pedometer one - that is one someone suggested that we never did.

    6 more weigh-ins until T-day!

    I'm sorry I haven't signed on for a while. I was in a car accident last Thursday, so I missed the weigh in. I have some pretty painful whiplash, so I've mostly been laying low. And eating. :grumble:
    This week I'm going to focus on getting some sort of exercise everyday. I've been slacking for a while and its time to pick my bum off the couch.
    I read everyones comments about weekend eating mishaps. I couldn't agree more! All my work goes down the drain Saturday and Sunday. Maybe we should have a new challenge that addresses weekend eating?

    I'm retired so every day is a weekend :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: but my downfall is restaurant eating :sad: which might be part of the weekend eating problem for some, so weekend/restaurant/social event eating could be part of a challenge

    hey guys, back down 1lb to 148, so i am pretty happy with that. i have been exercising, but i feel like i havent been as good with food as i have been in the past... my parents are coming this weekend so we are going to be eating LOTS and i am worried... just so much eating out and all. i def cant make my goal of 140 my TD now, but honestly i would be happy with being under 145 i think.

    good luck to everyone else!

    The only way this works for me is to make it a priority higher than pleasing my friends and family and higher than treating myself to yummy stuff.

    :flowerforyou: akgrant, congrats on getting out of the 160's and congrats on skipping that coffee as a reward,,,,food rewards never work for me......I buy "stuff" like exercise DVDs and underwear as rewards

    I'm down one more pound :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    This is what I've found to be true for me, too. If I keep eating and drinking on the weekends with my friends and husband - I never get ahead. They all hate it, but I now stick strictly to my plan all weekend. I also find non-food rewards to be the way to go - exercise clothes right now - regular clothes every 15 lbs. New clothes for a new body is the BEST reward!
