    Today I didnt work out. I did want to, but i am unbelievably sore!! It hurts so bad to walk. And sitting and standing are sooo painful!! Not trying to be a wuss lol, but i really dont think i would have been able to complete an effective work out feeling like this. I miss when i worked out all the time & would only get slightly sore once and a while. I cant wait to get back to that. Cause this is the worst!

    WOW! I have been really busy this week with work and house stuff but TODAY is MOVING DAY YAY. well the beginning lol but tomorrow will be the bulk of it and finish cleaning of the house we are leaving over the weekend but im glad to say that i will be moving this weekend. the sad part is i might not have internet for a few days as i have to get all that stuff hooked ut but all the lines are ready (the benefit of building lol)

    I predict this might be a bad month for weight loss as it will be a busy one getting into my new house and getting the kids used to the idea they actually will be sleeping and living there from now on. I take them to see the house all the time and they know where their rooms are and my room and all of that. my son practically knows the house by heart and loves to go visit it all through the construction process and so im hoping that by adding his things it will be a smooth transition.

    well ladies see you soon : ) don't forget me i will miss you and i will be back i promise.

    Had a bad week this week foodwise...been great all day then snacking at night :ohwell: had a smarties mini tub of icecream today, donut and freddo yesterday, and then mcflurry on sunday -.-

    But i made sure i exercised those calories off! :laugh: My water's been low aswell, still been getting my 8 glasses but i normally drink the majority of it in the evening.

    Soooo, not expecting a loss next weigh-in. :/

    HELP FRIENDS! HELP! I don't know if it is hormones or what but the last few days I feel like I am constantly hungry. I can't stop eating. I am also tired and very cranky! Not sure any more about the time of the month. I had a hysterectomy a few years back and they left the ovaries so I would not go through early menopause. But right now I am so irritable and hungry. How do I overcome this. I need to get this back in control or be back to where I was a few years ago. How do you curb those constant cravings when the hormones are out of control?

    Well, after a yo-yo September I managed to meet the 5 lbs mark. Hopefully I can continue the trend.. Semi stuck right now, though. Hopefully I can lose another 5!

    It was a long weekend here is Aussie last week and I am sure I ate over as I was at my inlaws. I have not weighed in this week cause of that and TOM as well so I will weigh in this tuesday and see how I go. I feel heavier but it could be because of TOM. I should just jump on the scales... too scared to he he.. You all have been doing so great.. You really motivate me to keep going.

    Don't panic! Read the big friendly yellow letters on the guide!
    Maybe you need a little pick-me-up though. Like a de-stress activity, naps or something. Or maybe you could make yourself some brown rice or unpearled barley and then stuff yourself full? Hang in there! Friday is on the way!

    I've been craving popcorn, cake, and icecream for three days straight. I have a cake mix, but I'm trying to resist the Betty Crocker. :cry: Tonight I had Nutella on toasted double-fiber bread as an after-dinner snack. It was nice and chocolatety, but it sure wasn't soft or melt-in-your-mouth like cake.

    For this I blame the month of October. Between the cold nights and candy ads, there's no place to hide. But we will make it! Gotta. Otherwise Christmas holiday season is REALLY gonna hurt.

    Terri--- Wish I could help but I have no idea! More often than not, I GIVE IN to those cravings. I have found that the more I give in, the more I give in... know what I mean? One bad choice starts the whole downward spiral. Do you remember the U-TURN you talked about awhile back?? Make a U-turn!! Have you tried drinking more water?

    I, too, am doing bad on my eating. I swear I self sabotage at this point all the time. I am about to break into a new low weight then BAM, pizza. :grumble: On the bright side, I bought a pair of jeans--- size 8! I cannot remember the last time I could squeeze into an 8.

    a) Listen to Alioth, and other helpful comments from members, and see if anything they say makes sense to you. Then apply it to you.
    b) Eat slowly, and focus all your attention on what you are eating. Sit down when you eat, so you aren't just snacking away. Be sure to log. Maybe you can notice a pattern in what you eat and when. Eat when you are hungry, but stop when you are not. Try eating what you want, but only half of how much you want. And go easy on yourself. Hope some of this might help you. :flowerforyou:

    It could be hormones, I was the same way after i had my baby that same day ( I had her at 10:23 am) so all three meals that day i ate what the hospital brought me AND what my husband brought me. I wasn't craving junk, I was absolutely ravenously hungry partly because i had that weight off of my stomach and partly because of hormones because i ate like that for a couple of weeks after it finally took real concentration on when i was going to let myself eat and what to eat inorder to control it. I got back to normal but i am not sure how long it took as it has been a year since she was born.

    I don't know if this helps or not but i hope you can get through this.
