    k so i did a weigh in tonight and i'm back at my start weight even though i've exercised every night and only been over calories once in the last week. i'm bummed people! time to step it up i guess!

    btw... congrats to all you sexy peeps out there who have shrinking waistlines! :D good for you!!! :D

    Sometimes it takes the body a little while to respond to exercise with weight loss. Keep going, it will catch up with want you want!

    My weight is up and down - I seem to be down a couple of pounds, but I gained a pound yesterday (but bearing in mind I only changed my eating habits at the beginning of the week, I'm waiting for it settle down before putting a definite number on it). I know I shouldn't be weighing every day, but I'm not a very paitent person!

    Only had one slip up in terms of food so far - was too lazy to cook yesterday after a rubbish day at work, so I got fish and chips ^^; I guess that'll be my cheat meal for the week. Other than that, I've been within 50 cals of my target every day.

    How often would you guys reccomend weighing yourself? Every day is too often, but I don't know if I could last a week without seeing where I am?

    Keep it up everyone!

    They say every 1-2 weeks. I used to get on the scale every day but I think that's because I left it where I could see it. If you have yours set up like this you might want to stick it under a sink or in a closet if you can. Its still hard to resist but its easier for me when I put it somewhere I don't see it all the time. Hope this helps!

    So how is everyone's weekend going?

    I'm getting a little worried about Thanksgiving coming up...I know that if I keep my portions under control with the dinner I should be okay but my mom is such a good cook that I will want to eat a lot of everything. What are your game plans for Thanksgiving?

    I'm going to have that problem too especially since this year I'll be at a buffet. My plan of action (lol) is to eat a little bit of everything first. If I have room for more after I've eaten and I want to treat myself then I go back. Usually I heap on stuff I loooooooooove and end up in trouble with the scale. I've heard people say also to try to get some time outside for thanksgiving instead of lounging about inside. Go for a good walk or go for more vigorous activity ^.^

    I usually weigh in on Friday, but as Thursday is Thanksgiving...I may weigh in Thursday morning. I've convinced myself that this is because Friday will not be an accurate measure of this weeks progress. What do you think?

    YAY!!!! I have lost almost 9 lbs FAST! Now Im sure it will slow down but thats ok. I think I will take my new years goal down another 5 lbs. Because I am only 3 1/2 lbs away from it!!! WOOHOO!!
    How is everyone else doing????
    Thanksgiving dinner and pies are goin to be HARD! My thought is I can have it just smaller portions then I normally would have!

    I just weighed in today and I have lost another 3 lbs. I am thrilled!!! Next week will probably be a completely different story but Thanksgiving dinner will totally be worth it :)

    Hope everyone else is having a great week...Keep up the hard work. Have a great Thanksgiving :)

    Weighed in this morning as the same weight as last week. I am far from disappointed! Its been a bad week as far as food goes so I am thrilled I haven't gained! Trying to see the silver lining as much as possible lol. I really am proud for maintaining and not back sliding though. How is everyone else doing?
