    It looks like some of us are having some tough moments :sad:
    Lets all try to remember how many accomplishments every one of us has had this week. I think we have all done amazing whether there is a loss on the scale or not.
    Some of us have been rockin' it a the gym, getting all that damn water down, counting calories, fightn' fires, not to mention the awesome support everyone has been giving everyone else which personally it makes a world of difference to me if I know I have people on my side.
    Confession..... nobody in my life but all of you know Im trying to loose weight. You all keep me going!
    WE HAVE THE BEST TEAM EVER !

    Hi everyone! thanks for all of the encouraging posts and to all of you struggling- keep it up, we can do this!!! with that...if anyone is around, i need a little encouraging myself (so much easier to say it to other people then to actually do it) I have done REALLY well today and am slightly under my calories- i just had my last snack/meal of the day and feel like eating more, even tho i am not the least bit hungry- i have a problem with this at night and usually end up ruining my whole day. i am drinking water and chewing gum but if anyone has any helpful words, i would love to hear them. this has been a struggle point for me and i am trying to overcome it one night at a time! thanks ;)

    kels, try brushing your teeth or using some mouth wash. That usually helps me when I want to eat mindlessly. The taste of toothpaste or mouth wash usually solves the problem. Good luck!

    My favorite thing at night after supper, if I feel like I need a little something is the 40 calorie fudge bars. I happen to think they are fabulous and only 40 calories!! Another is a small baked apple with cinnamon, or I also like to take one of the low fat yoplait yogurts, chop some fruit like strawberris mix together and put in the freezer for a bit.... its delish and it takes a while to eat so it definately curbs that sugar tooth of mine!

    Good morning my green beans. I need to be better about logging in at night as I missed all the posts last night.

    N2dfire - thank you for all you do. A structure sure sounds dangerous and I am sure you burned a whole lot of calories putting it out. I hope today isn't too crazy for you with accidents resulting from all the snow-ice-rain.

    Sportsmomof2 - WTG on your loss and workout, and during your lunch break no less. When it's not too cold I slip into my walking shoes and get in some exercise then too. Feels great to be outside after sitting at a desk all morning!

    Briakiss - the smoothie sounds yummy! I'll have to try it sometime.

    Sassiebritches - great job on the H2O. I usually am good about getting it all in but for some reason yesterday I didn't start drinking any until lunchtime. Shame on me! I WILL do better today!

    Kels0724 - I have to agree with yeahbuddy here. If I feel a late night snacking binge approaching, I'll do my before bedtime routine early. Wash makeup off face, moisturize, brush teeth, etc. For some reason getting ready for bed stills the urge to snack (especially the minty fresh mouth since nothing tastes good immediately after brushing). =)

    Y'all hang in there…I know this isn't always an easy journey, but that's why we have each other to lean on. Remember, today is a brand new day with a clean slate. So work out hard, eat well, and keep shedding those pounds! =) Have a great Tuesday!

    P.S. I don't think I know about these 40 cal fudge bars--what brand do you all get?

    Good Morning Green Teammates!

    Last day Until Weigh in! Is everyone pumped for an awesome eating and exercise day? I am I can't wait to see what progress I have made on the scale tommorrow. I hope everyone has done well...But remember that Muscle does weigh more than fat, so just because you are not losing weight doen't mean you are not getting healthy!

    Hope Ya'll have a great Day! :bigsmile:

    Good morning all!

    40 cal Fudgesicle no sugar added 12 pack. Fudgsicle is the brand name.

    Heading to the gym in a few! GO GREEN!!! Last night I finally did my measurements. Since I am lifting weights I thought I might lose more inches then weight in the long run.

    Good Morning Green!

    Less than 24 hr and we can start puttin up stats! I'm so excited for everyone...this has been a TRUE challenge for me... It has also made me more MINDFUL of my eating habits and kept my binger at bay, since this whole healthy eating/lifestyle/change IS a challenge in a way for us all.

    MMMMM, this talk about the fudgebars has made me crave chocolate, I have had them in the past...may have to stock my freezer! Thanks for the suggestion!

    ok, question about milk. I probably have (1) 8 oz glass a day w/my cereal. Skim that is. Did you all know that there is 12g of carbs/sugar in this? Has anyone tried sugar free milk and what kind? How does it taste?

    briakiss ~ the smoothie sounds yummy and pretty easy to make. might have to try that! thanks for sharing!

    n2dfire ~ i am sure you 'put out' a lot of calories on the structure fire, probably more than you think if the adrenaline was kicked in! be careful in the storm, looks nasty for the E coast.

    HI to the rest of the GT! Have a good day all, keep up the good work on taking care of YOU!!

    Well Im not a milk drinker so I dont know about sf milk. My problem is my creamer with coffee in the mornings *ugh* Ive been drinking the FF creamer but there are still 30 cals per serving! Okay it doesnt sound like much but if I have 4-5 cups of coffee it adds up for sure. I just bought the SF creamer which is a little better on the cals so I will see how it tastes :) Ive been switching to low fat, fat free, sugar free products for quite a while now... I find that most are sill really good and I dont notice much change, so its always worth the try!
    Happy Tuesday Greenies! Be healthy
