    Im loving everyones answers!!!!!!!!!!!

    It is seriously TOUGH self-loving huh? ..... I agree with Sandy .... you spend so much time hating our bodies.... that to look at yourself in a new manner and actually say "I LOVE ______" .... is tough ... but very good for us .....

    Amy -- i agree with you ... I appreciate every little inch or curve that appears.... because when i was thinner i just didnt appreciate it ... i constantly talked about how big i was etc... and now i look back and would DREAM of having the body i use to have! So thanks for reminding me! :D XO

    Cathy--- Awwww SOrry about the sore throat! FEEL BETTER GIRL ! good job on getting the healthy kinda sweets!

    Today I love my eyes, not the bags under them, just my eyes! I have hazel eyes...I love the way they change colors depending on what I am wearing.

    I have hazel eyes too and love how they change with the colors I wear as well. Sometimes they are bluish, sometimes brown, other times green. Can't beat that and no matter what weight I will be at, they will always stay that way.

    Hello! FInally getting a chance to jump in and update my "stats", and say a quick hello! I LOVE reading everyone's "Love" comments. I've never seen this blog so active before. :) I ended up losing just over 2 pounds last challenge, which I'm gonna take, seeing as how I joined half-way through and had a bad week in there somewhere. Today I love my eyes. They are very blue, and althought I don't really see it when I look in the mirror, I get a lot of compliments from others. Yay - I love that.

    I am having a stellar week. Keeping in my calories every day, no straying for unscheduled snacks, and exercising every day with the exception of tonight because I have a work meeting. I should do something, but I'm very sore from last night so I'm giving my body a rest. I'd love to chat some more, but I've gotta scoot.

    Weeks half over! Yayaya!

    I am a fan of Off The Map too! I need to take myself to the gym tonight though so I will have to watch it later this week or this weekend. Love DVR! How did we ever survive without it?

    I feel myself getting better and better with this food logging and working out. Today I brought lunch and then decided to eat something else. In the past I would just bag logging for the day....today I changed it all and still came in under goal. I will have a hard time eating my exercise earned calories. I am thinking of experimenting for one week and not eating them back.

    Have a good night everyone!

    Today I am struggling with the body love. Actually feel a bit weird today, I’ve spent the last couple of weeks really enjoying seeing a slimmer (albeit on slightly) me. And I looked in the mirror this morning and saw the fat monster again looking back at me. I haven’t put on any weight this week, in fact I think I have probably lost that nasty pound from last week. But still… the wibbly wobbly monster was lurking and making me get sad all over again.

    BUT I put it down to no exercise this week…. Not necessarily affecting me physically, but mentally. The happy vibes have softened. SO! I have hidden my scale (well the boyf has) and I am hoping my leg feels better so I can at least do a bit of exercise tomorrow!

    So to love……. I love my brain. I love it for being so clever and devious! I love it for loving the exercise that I think I hate and I love it for reminding me that I need to pursue this and I need to keep on going.

    I also love it for realising that there is actually nothing wrong with my body at all, and that this diet and weight loss is not the be all and end all of my life right now. But its something I can focus on and achieve in a healthy, happy and intelligent way.

    (and I love it for starting this post in a right hump and finishing it in a much better place)

    Hi Ladies,

    I have been MIA for about 2 months now and would like to rejoin the group. I am sorry for my lapse just not very motivated lately but trying to recommit to improving myself.

    I love the challenges for each week so here is today thing I love about myself

    I love that I my daughter is a priority in my life and that I am willing to stand up for her no matter what. This may sound silly but she was just diagnosed with Apraxia and I am having to make sure she is getting all the therapy she can and needs,

    Have a great day Ladies

    Good morning gals!!

    Today, I LOVE my legs! They have carried me around no matter what size I've been. They allow me to run and to jump...they allow me to prance around in the living room with my daughter! They allow me to stand tall and proud of who I am!

    Last night was good! Had a good workout...I can feel my arms slowly getting stronger!! I do a few more reps every day! YAY!

    Plan for today:
    Food--
    B-Oatmeal, light juice, coffee w/sugarfree creamer
    S-Banana, breakfast bar
    L-Salad (mixed leafy greens, broccoli slaw, spinach, cucumber, spritzer dressing), boiled egg, light yogurt
    S-Pear and probably almonds
    D-Homemade light french toast w/sugar free syrup! YUM!!
    S-Rice crispy treats

    Exercise--
    I haven't decided yet. Tonight is my easy night and I usually just do a 15 minute workout (Abs, Lower Body, Upper Body or Total Body) but I'm kind of thinking I may want to do my Yoga Meltdown tonight...we shall see...

    Have a great day all!!

    It DOES get easier!! I know the first time I did it I about died!! But slowly and surely you will get stronger and it will get better!! BUT...it will probably be harder next time because your muscles will be sore...so be prepared! But I promise you will see results if you are consistent with it!! Good luck!

    Welcome back Tracy! It is difficult to stay positively motivated constantly. We are the brave ones... we do it everyday, every hour, every second of our lives. It is in the forefront of our thoughts. Every time I look in the mirror I struggle with... Is this really me or am I seeing what I want to (or don't want to)? We are with you though and I want to just stop everyday. But I don't! Stay with us girl!
    Arwamya... Keep loving those curves... I think it is better to look like a woman than a boy!
    I LOVE my eyes. They are a blue green color and have been told they still sparkle. Chat later all

    I love everyone's responses. They are inspiring and fun to read. Some make me tear up, some make me laugh...you are a great bunch of people!!


    So...today...I'm having a hard time with body image. Ate salty/bad last night...really wanna get on track today. Bad cold, cough and sick children...just one of those days I wish I wasn't doing daycare and I was able to wrap my 10 year old up in a blanket and lay behind her all day comforting her (and getting some TLC myself so I can recover). First time I've worn sweats while doing daycare in almost 2 years and I'm not feeling guilty about it. Ugh. So...body image? Not so good today cause I feel frumpy and very blaaa.
    So...I would maybe say I like my eyelashes. They are long and dark. I've gotten compliments on them from strangers and that's always a great feeling. :) ((((cough, cough...)))))

    Have a wonderful day everyone!! I'm going to hybernate!
