    Greetings all!

    Today will be my 3rd day of success. I really feel like I'm on the track to success now. Yesterday was "check in" for me and I'm down 3 lbs.:drinker:

    I even got on my treadmill last night for 25 minutes.:bigsmile:

    Keep it up everyone!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    Yes, today went well:smile: Burned lots of calories at dance tonight! (Never sure exactly how many though.... I wish knew how strenuous "dancing, general" is considered under the exercises choices.) Sometimes I'm sweating for two hours straight and other times I may only sweat for like 20 min. during the entire 2 1/2 hour practice. Anyone have an idea of how to get a more accurate number of calories burned besides wearing one of those HRM type things? I'm so broke right now to buy something like that.....:frown:

    Sarakenna...YES...I'm thinking of starting another accountability thread! Twelve days to go on this shoot -- I'm going to get my goals in order.

    Good luck everyone!

    Today is Day 3 for me -- still got my toughest stretch ahead -- dinner!

    I've planned what I'm going to eat and I'm going to stick to it. If not, I'll be answering to this thread later on tonight. Here's to a successful evening.

    I think this is a great idea. I am so guilty of binging. I get so mad at myself for it. One day at time sounds awesome. Here goes..

    love it ! i heard of something similar, with a bracelet that you switch everytime you do your "bad behavior" ( smoking, binging, etc.) and then you try to go as many days as possible without having to switch wrists! this sounds fabulous and im starting tomorrow! ( as ive already binged-1000 cal over- today:( )

    Day 3 done.
    This weekend is going to be hard. I am going to a retirement party on Friday night and a cookout birthaday party on Saturday. Luckily, the cookout is at my in-laws and my mother-in-law is trying to lose weight too, so I asked her to make sure there were healthy alternatives.
    Good luck all.

    No bueno. I did pretty well today until I got home and whiskey joined the picture. What was I thinking? Whenever I drink I lose all ability to monitor my calorie intake. I've had a super hard week and have pretty bad cravings due, um, preparations for Aunt Flow's visit... Er... As a result, I've broken down and had a drink (or 4) when I get home from work (stupid work) and therefore have been eating more in addition to drinking. And by more, I mean super binge! Yarg.

    I seem to be on day 19 :noway: . Well, not all days were the same :embarassed: , but no day where I felt I totally messed up again :smile: . Life was so dynamic lately that I did not really have time to feel pity for myself or worry too much about 2-300 calories extra :indifferent: . At the end of it, I'm half way through in reaching my goal weight (do I really wanna lose that much? :glasses: ) and bellow 130lbs. :drinker:

    Good luck, everyone! :flowerforyou: I just love the support we get here and that feeling that we're a big family, we understand each other so well and we're all going through the same ups and downs. :love:

    :bigsmile: I actually walked away!! :bigsmile:
    Today was Pizza Day at my company. It's that day when way more food is ordered than needed. :huh: As I returned to the spread, I actually said "you don't need any more" out loud. :laugh: While I received some very strange looks, it felt GREAT. Just wanted to share my small victory as I approach my 6th day.
    :drinker: :drinker:

    Today is Day 6. Goal for the day is to work out. I didn't binge yesterday but I didn't work out and I definitely went over my calories.

    Stay strong, everyone!

    LOVE this! Good job. I did the same thing today -- someone offered me a plate of brownies and I said "I don't need to eat them to know how good they are!"

    Day 7 today. Warm chocolate chip cookies were my downfall but I didn't go over my calories and I didn't feel out of control and binging, so I'm counting it as a successful day. I wanted them, I ate some, and then I worked my booty OUT on the elliptical.

    I just wish I could remember at the time how annoying it is GOING to be to have to work off 500 calories of cookies. I stand there and KNOW that I'm going to have to log an hour on the treadmill if I put it in my mouth...but yet...I still put it in my mouth.

    Here's to staying strong tomorrow!
