Still have a little to go!!! I am just glad I am losing again!

Well I don't cook... at least not from scratch made from fresh or canned goods. normally its frozen stuff or pasta or stuff from a box.

Well Not this week! I went shopping for REAL food : ) its probably not extreemly low on calories but definately better for you than what I do eat. so for my first time ever I am cooking 4 meals that I have never made before. wish me luck : )

WTG!!! excited for you, you'll have to let us know how things turn out...GOOD LUCK!!:drinker:

Does not look like i am going to make it to my goal. At least i have been losing and not gaining.

Probably not going to lose a full 5 before the end of the month, but it is a short month also. I will be pretty happy if I just lose another pound, because that means that I will have lost my first 10 lbs.!!!! One third of the way to me goal weight!

jen and tina thanks for the supportive comments. : )

Tonight Im making a homemade version of a homestyle bakes meal : )

cream of chicken soup mixed with sour cream and layer chicken on top and covered with the mixture and layer stove top stuffing on the very top of that : ) sounds very yummy.


Well all you 150 pound racers im starting to catch up : ) I ate real food (goulaush) for dinner two nights ago and cant remember what I had last night but I woke up this morning with a loss! my First loss of the month and its a good one. : )

Im going to exercise either tonight or tomorrow and then thursday and friday (tonight im super busy with school group meetings for my class presentation due on tuesday!)


Oh and to all of you going the wrong direction keep up the good work it Will pay off. I know you can do it. : )

Well, I may not be working out like a maniac anymore but I still do have some passions left in the world. I really enjoyed doing the flowers for my daughters wedding and I think I really knocked it out of the park with her simple glowing center peices and her bouquet rocks. (sorry I feel like I need ot pat myself on the back for something because I am not doing so great a the weight loss thing right now and I need a small victory.:blushing: )

Sounds good to me!

Wow, time flies! I have not posted since Friday. I have been busier than usual because I am the presenter for my study group tonight. I finally finished my powerpoint presentation last night (54 pages!), so I thought I would take a few minutes to catch up with my MFP 5lb friends!

We went out for my hubby's V-day dinner on Monday night, and I ate lots of yummy but terrible things (wings, mozza sticks, potato nachos). At least it was only a one-shot deal, and my eating has been very good since. It used to take me 3 days to get back on track after such an event, so I'm making progress. We are going out for my V-day celebration this Saturday (I was too busy with school work to celebrate last weekend). My hubby has an overnight trip planned for us. His mom is going to watch our girls.

As for exercise, I missed my yoga class on Monday night, and I didn't get to the gym yesterday for my Tuesday run. Today is usually a rest day for me, but I've decided that I'm going to do yesterday's run today. I have a 10k in May, and with my current level of fitness, I can't afford to miss any training days. Besides, my original plan was Tues/Thurs/Sat +/- 1 day, so I should be ok.

55, I'm so glad that you figured out a way to fit in some exercise. I knew you could do it! :drinker:
And, great motivation on cooking some homemade meals! I hope you enjoy them. Maybe you can start packing some leftovers to bring for lunch at work, so you don't have to eat bananas every day for lunch! We stick to pretty simple meals, and I admit that some are helped along with boxes or cans... :blushing:

Ralu, congratulations!! You're currently beating me in the race to 150 by 0.1 pounds.

Bru, way to go on dropping below your pre-holiday weight! I hope you get to eat that nice crunchy apple soon!

Robin, those flowers are absolutely gorgeous. I love the glowing centerpieces - wish I had known about that for my own wedding!

For those of you that are new - welcome! :flowerforyou:
For those of you that are losing - congratulations!! :drinker:
For those of you that are stuck at your current weight - don't give up!!! :grumble:
For those of you that are gaining - U-TURN!!!! :noway:

Hi everyone,

Yesterday was a very bummer kinda day for me. Found out that the employee contribution to our health insurance is going up $100 a month and our employer is no longer contributing to our 401K plan. I know $100 isn't that much money and I'm thankful I have a job that provides health insurance but still, it makes it even harder for me to make ends meet every month. And I sure would like to go buy me a couple pair of pants that actually fit me so I can quit pinning the old baggy ones I currently wear. :grumble: The positive side of yesterday was that I really wanted to snack and eat like crazy after work (I am a big stress eater) but I ate a few strawberries, then backed away from the kitchen. Finished the night with 53 calories under my goal, GO ME !

Thanks for "listening" pals. I hope all of your are having a wonderful day. Sending skinny vibes your way

That is great! its good that your mom supports you and goes with you : )
the weather here was in the 50's for 2 days and is now storming again!!

hi, everyone
just checking in
it was hard to get out of bed this morning (5 o'clock as always), but today is my last work day this week - took friday and monday off, i'm going to spend my birthday weekend in prague with my boyfriend.
i'm a bit stressed about being away from home, especially when celebrating - i'll try to be good and not go over the top, but they sure have great beer in Prague! :laugh:
this morning i went to the gym, tomorrow i will train at home on the treadmill before we leave...i don't want to gain back what i lost - i hate when i sabotage myself and yet, i still do it.

kintegra, sorry to read you had such a crappy day, but it is now behind you - and i hope you have a great weekend!
donna, congrats on the great workout! :drinker:

take care, guys, until next week!
