    I was even traveling this weekend - but I was hauling my cookies all over Santa Barbara helping with a wedding, so maybe that helped. Got out to the beach and walked 2 miles down the boardwalk, then the 2 miles back in the surf. I've never lost weight on vacation! Whooooo!!

    Good Morning ladies!
    So today's the day? Well, I haven't had any change in the scale, but my jeans are not as tight, I'm not getting tired as often and I have more energy. . . so I'm going to keep at eating good and excercising, maybe next week the scale will jump on board :)

    I am very pleased with my loss this week. I actually got a new scale over the weekend and it's weighing a bit heavier than my old one so my loss was really bigger than what it seems. I need to just throw the old one out because the difference is frustrating me. Also, even with the new scale the differences in weight within minutes is crazy. I've realized I lose about a pound just by taking a shower. Does anyone else have this kind of frustration with their scale? I know the number doesn't matter the most. It's how you feel and the overall toning up is what shows. Sometimes, it just frustrates me.

    Good luck everyone!

    I will take a half pound loss. I actually had hoped I would gain half a pound because I did not do well Wednesday through Sunday. I made a lot of unhealthy choice and went over several times. I had to exercise extra to make it work. I'll remind myself I could have lost at least a full pound. I am looking forward to this next week. I have been refocused since Monday and I am feeling very good.
    Have a great week everyone!!! :smile:

    i've been here before and this is where i start sabotaging myself and binge eating. i don't know why i keep hovering between 121 and 124. i think i've got a handle on this mentally this week because i am committed to getting below 120!

    I was so busy yesterday I forgot to check in. Sorry!

    No change for me this week but at least it's not a gain. Plus my scale only goes by half pounds, it doesn't go to tenths so it's hard to tell because i could be down or up by .4 lb and my scale would show the same.

    I see some great losses from everyone this week! Great job everyone!

    I did the mission statement as my mission while working out...so it's not quite like everyone else whose mission statement is for life. I decided on my mission statement as: "You don't get it by staring, you don't get it by wishing, you don't get it by drooling, you don't get it by hoping, you don't get it easy. You get it by getting off your butt, working for it, every second of every day for the rest of your life." That really helped me get out of bed for my bike ride this morning, reminding myself that I won't get it by laying in bed thinking about it, but by getting up and working for it. It's really a Nike Ad (some MFPers have it in their signature) and it's now my desktop background.

    I will definitely try to drink my extra water!

    i think it works for life as well. :) good one!
