    I'm at 235.8 this morning, which is up 1.2:grumble: ... I guess not surprising since I haven't been able to work out all week until today (just went for an hour walk with a friend :happy: ). Maybe the scale will be kinder in the morning after I get back to the Y for a workout.

    I'm the same, when I pass my mirror, from the front I appear smaller that my backside. Seems like all my weight or most of it is on my buttocks,

    I need to try to put more of an effort to get out and exercise....and realizing that I don't need to go to the gym I can take walks around my house.

    Hi everyone! This week I managed to lose 2 pounds. Then towards the end of the week I would lose a pound then gain it back. I went up and down one pound all this week. Finally today I got on the scale and it went down some more. At the start of the week I was 234.1. Now I am at 231.9. That's 2.2 pounds! Anyway, a pound or two may not seem like a lot to some people but it sure feels like a victory to me. I know a lot of y'all know what I am talking about. YEAH. It feels good when you work hard and it happens, even if it is a fraction of a pound. LOL

    Okay, again I have done soooooooooooooooooooooo bad this weekend. I have lost my mind. Every weekend I am out of control. Week days, I am doing great. Yesterday I was over on my calories but I walked for 2 hours. Today I have been lazy and I have pigged out. Literally Pigged out. This can't be good. I have to get back in control. My husband has a Christmas party coming. The outfit is 1 size to small I would really like to lose the weight so I will look decent in this outfit......

    OK personal goal, to get down 15 pounds by Christmas...so that is 223. I think this would get me into my size 18 pants!

    Excited to start...not excited to turn down all the pies , breads, cookies, cakes, cocktails this holiday season.

    Sounds like a great goal. My vise is warm bread or warm cookies out of the oven. The calorie counter shows me that 3 of my favorite cookies are 600 calories. :noway: :noway: YIKES! I'm with you to make it through the holidays.

    andrea, 15 pounds is a great goal.

    lstpaul, yes we can get back on track today and I have. Could have drank more water but the day is not over. Did not eat great, but I am staying within my calories so I will take it for now.

    See ya all later

    Hi all,
    Sorry I have been MIA. Work is still crazy but I'm taking a minute of my lunch break to post.

    This may not be a hard challenge for you all, but my challenge this week is NO fast food. It's hard for me because I'm travelling so much with work and if I challenge myself to no fast food whatsoever, it's easier for me to say no.

    I can normally go for weeks at a time with no fast food with no problem -- I normally don't even miss it, but last week and this week have been ridiculous and although I'm making decent decisions about what I order, I know I could bring something healthier along with me so I'm not tempted to stop anymore. So, NO FAST FOOD.

    And my personal challenge for the rest of the week is to exercise at least 60 minutes each day through Friday and log every thing that passes my lips. I'm working 13+ hours each day this week and I've discovered it's really easy for me to talk myself out of exercising & logging after a long day at work. Ugh, I can't wait to get back to my normal work schedule in November. It's so funny that a normal 50 hour work week seems like a vacation after a few 65+ hour work weeks. IEverything really is relative, I guess.

    We can do this! :drinker:

    We do check in with support. I understand what you are going through. You are right though if you stick it out you will be so proud. I too am having a rough day, it is rainy and really windy. I can't get out to exercise and all I want to do is eat, eat, eat. We can overcome this though. Have a small snack. Also tell your self that you are worth this battle. You are worth being healthy. You deserve it. You deserve to be comfortable. You can do this. We can do this. :flowerforyou:
