    I'm not having a good day, in fat the last few days have been tough, and I think I've figured out why.

    Here's the deal: I'm an emotional eater. I eat when I'm happy, sad, angry, bored, celebrating, mourning, whatever, whenever I eat. At least, I ate. Since starting my healthy eating lifestyle 8 weeks ago I've lost 24.2 lbs (yay!) and have completly overhauled my eating habits. And my taste buds have changed as a result of this. I no longer enjoy overly salty, sugary or fatty things. My mouth and body knows this - my brain does not.

    Last weekend we had my son's first bday party and I tried to cheat. I really did! I wanted to chow down on chips, soda and sweets but everytime I tried to I ended up switching to water, fruits and veggies cuz it tasted better. Even last night I had some salt and vinegar crispers (15 crackers=90cal. not bad) but immedaitely afterwards had to brush my teeth cuz my mouth felt dirty from all the salt. So I know that this is a good thing. I'm happy that I've made these changes and I'm thrilled with the resilts and can't wait to lose more weight.

    It seems my body and brain are at an impasse. My body says healthy, clean foods; my brain says "go get a big mac! you deserve it!". All I can say is this, I'm not going to listen to my fat brain, I'm going to listen to my getting-less-fat body. But in the meantime, I sure do miss my old friend Junk Food. I guess what I need to do is find a reward system that is non-food based. But all the best rewards I know are all the worst foods out there!!! ARGH!!!

    Any suggestions on ways to reward myself that won't destroy my healthy eating efforts? I'm not yet to the point where I want to buy new clothes/shoes because I still have a lot to lose. No sense wasting money. I'd rather wait until I'm down at least another size before going on a spending spree. Please help!!!!

    Starting MFP Weight: 163
    Starting SAHMU Weight: 157
    Week 1 Weight: 157
    Week 2 Weight: 156

    I lost a pound yayyy!!! I was really upset a couple days ago because I took a peek at the scale and I was up 2lbs....grrr I was like wtf!! I hopped on it today and it said 156. I had to double check and it still said 156. So for me I am happy with my 1lb loss.

    To all the ladies here: You all are doing great. For those who stayed the same; its ok keep up the hard work and we will get there together. For those who lost yayyy!!!

    I'm excited and nervous for this weeks new challenge. Being a heavier girl, jumping jacks and I don't get along that well. And I have 0 upper body strength so pushup are going to kick my butt as well. But I'm in this for the long haul, so here's to a challenging 2nd week y'all!!!!

    Hi everyone,

    Great job getting through week 1, I have seen some amazing weight loss totals through the teams threads!
    I am glad we are all comitted to this journey, remember to be supportive and comminicate often to your teammates, that is a very big key to our success.

    Any team member that feels they cannot commit to this challenge and stick with it for the 60 days, or be suportive to there team. Please let me know because there are other people who want to join. We want our teams to be strong.

    I am not calling anyone out on this but I want to give anyone the option to do this if they decide it is best for them.

    You can send me a private msg if this is what you decide.

    I hope everyone decides to stay and complete the challenge. Just make sure you are supportive because we all need it.

    I wanted to share something with everyone that I am so proud of. This year I planted a Garden. I have carrotts,radish,cucumbers,tomatoes,cilantro,chives,onions,snap peas,lettuce and beans. I have worked so hard on it and I am now getting all these fresh veggies from it and that makes it so much easier for ma and my family to eat healthier.

    I have so much, I wish I could share it with you all!

    I will post pics once I figure out how to.

    Anyway, I am very proud of this along with all the beautiful flowers I grew this year.

    Good call! I haven't been for a massage in a long time and my insurance covers it so I don't even have to feel bad about spending money! Thanks!

    Team,


    I need to take myself out of the challenge :( I have been having some issues with breathing and some heart palpitations the last 2 days. I just got off the phone with my dr and the exercise might be too much for me at this point...(underlying health issues) and I have to take at easy for a few days and then just gradually go back with starting with walking or something with her permission. Sorry blue team!!!!!! But if it is okay, I will still check in and cheer ev1 on :(
