    Great job ladies! I'll do better this week!!!!

    PS. what should i have for dinner? quick, easy, not too expensive, and only for one person!

    Stirfry? Very quick and if you have enough veg at home that you can throw in it's easy on the calories as well!

    Bru- Good luck finding a job! Putting yourself out there is the best first step.

    Numbers- I know they aren't low in fat but I always eat nuts when I need a healthy way to up my calories.

    My goals for this week:
    -Eat at least 1,500 calories but more than my maintenance everyday.
    -No alcohol.
    -Workout as planned plus hike on Saturday
    -NO alcohol.
    -4+ servings of fuits and veggies even on the weekends.
    - did I mention no alcohol?

    I was so excited to see 2 more pounds come off this week., I'm at 164.2 I am finally working on the 3rd 10 pound goal. I am hoping to loose the remaining 9 pounds by the end of the month (I want to get to 155)...that's going to be a tough one but I am willing to give it a shot. Here are my goals for the week:

    drink water, water water...at least 12 cups a day.
    don't cave in to the starbucks come Wednesdays (I'm a sucker for those vanilla lattes)
    stay witin my calorie goals
    log in every morsel (i'm usually pretty good...usually)
    run hard!!!

    Alright beautiful ladies...LET'S GET SOME!!! OOH-RAH!

    So, my goals for last week were:

    "Goals:
    1) Work out at *least* 4 times this week (2 days circuit training, 2 days intervals)
    2) LOG WEEKEND CALORIES - The hardest one for me. I'm at my bf's house in another town on the weekends, and my pre-portioned meals aren't very conducive to an enjoyable weekend together...plus, we like to drink :- / "

    And I accomplished both. Even though logging the weekend calories was a) Painful, b) NOT FUN, c) Extremely Eye-opening. I'm definitely what they call a Weekday Saint and Weekend Sinner. But I'm taking it as a learning experience and will use this new knowledge to change my weekend habits.

    This week's Goals:
    1) Work out 5 days (2 days circuit training, 3 days intervals)
    2) Drink at least 72oz every day
    3) Stay under calories - EVEN ON WEEKEND!!!!

    Let's take this week head-on!!!

    I haven't been feeling so hot today. Just all around down. Not really physically bad just more of a psychic pain. But after kick boxing I'm feeling a little better. I'm almost done with 6.5 glasses of water only a little more to go! I really need to figure out to get my calories up. I never make it above 1,000 even on my "cheat" days.

    Thanks, Karen. It was good, except no one came. Lol. Both grandmothers came but that's it. He had a good time though and ate lots of cake and had it every where. I'll post a picture of his silly butt. He was so sleepy. :)

    I have to bust my *kitten* this week. And you guys check up on me. I have to break this plateau. If I don't, I feel like I'll just stop completely. 4 weeks. No change. :grumble: Something's gotta give. I'll admit the past couple weekends have sucked food wise, but my c25ks are getting harder, and i'm running longer, and I really feel like this should be doing SOMETHING. UGH.

    Frustrated. I guess since the first 16 lbs came off so easy, I got spoiled. Any chance I can lose 10 lbs in a month? Tips?

    HELP! :sad:

    Your food diary for today looked pretty good. When you're weighing in, are you also checking Fat %, BMI, Water Weight, etc? On weeks that my weight loss is low, sometimes there are small hints/answers there.

    Just keep at it! And keep posting! We're here to support, motivate and help in any way we can :flowerforyou:

    I had a really good day yesterday and am feeling a bit more motivated now. I think seeing that 3.4lb gained on the chart was the kick up the backside that I needed, and after going for a run, drinking loads of water and sticking to my calories yesterday my scales showed a lb loss today. Must have been water weight. woohoo!

    It was scary to see how easily I could get out of control again though, one bad week = 3.4lb on, urgh!

    Goals for this week:
    - Workout at least 4 times
    - Drink my water
    - Stick to my calorie limit

    Good luck ladies, hope you all have a good week!

    I already slipped up yesterday. I only got in 48oz of water and didn't do my exercise challenges. But it was a stressful night and I did the best I could provided my situation, so moving on.

    If it's not raining today I will do my run and most likely my challenges too...and as soon as I polish off this coffee I'm jumping right in on my water. :flowerforyou:

    ARGH! I weighed into today at 132.4, down 2 lbs from yesterday. I'm happy that I've lost, but I really wish it would show up on days when it ended up on a pretty table... :laugh:

    *hugs* Psychological pain can be so much harder to deal with than physical pain. I hope you are feeling better.

    Try eating more nuts and peanut butter, preferably the all natural kind. Also, start using whole fat dairy products and cooking with olive oil. I know a lot of people tend to shun fats but they are very important to vitamin absorbtion and a non-saturated fats are a great way to increase your calories and still eat healthy.

    jaspersmommy - He is adorable! Love the photo with all the icing on his face! What a cutey!

    Woot Woot for the losses ladies!

    I am feeling good, I'm positive I've lost inches as well as lbs. I can feel it in my arms and belly. I also had to tighten the chest strap on my HRM last night. I sucked in my abs during my workout and it slipped down a little.

    Have a great day!

    Karen
