    I can't believe I said I'm 27! That's crazy. No, I'm 29. Wow, I wrote that and reread it and didn't even blink an eye. I'm in denial that I'm turning 30 in 6 month.

    Lol.....Instead of celebrating a new age every year, I celebrate the anniversary of my 29th birthday. :P

    PS: I love that you "won big" on Wheel of Fortune, too! That's very cool. :)

    I am for challenges and weigh ins (currently Friday is the best day for me personally). I didn't mention that I am an RN. I also forgot to mention that my 1st goal weight is 180 lbs so I have a looooong way to go. (yes, I have many mini goals to break that up so I don't feel overwhelmed at the thought!)

    Well... just finished breakfast but we have hubby's work thing this afternoon... I am a bit concerned since I don't know what is being served but at least I currently have a fair number of calories per day so I do have wiggle room. Also going out to brother's for dinner... s.i.l. is cooking a ww dinner so things should be fairly calm there! Tomorrow we have a bbq with the neighbors at our place. *whew!* I never have this kind of social life!

    I'm late to the party! I just saw that you created a new thread!

    Alright, My name is Jenny - you can call me Jenny and not JenKaMac...I live in Washington State and I am 27 and married to my college sweetheart and we have two fat cats! My husband is a videographer and I am a performer and a private voice and piano coach. I am 5'2" and currently around 134.5 given the day. My highest weight was in college at 147 and I am at the weight I was when I got married. But, I have always wanted to be 120 and I just can't seem to get below 130! I think it's a mind block or something. Annnddd.. I like to eat.

    3 things:

    1) I'm an opera singer - yep, we do exist even at my young age, and no I do not wear viking horns.
    2) I love to cook, if I wasn't a singer I may have gone to culinary school. I also LOVE shopping and wish I could sew a little better.
    3) I won big on Wheel of Fortune a few years ago. It was pretty sweet.

    I'm really needing this and the accountability! I'm totally up for weekly weigh-ins, I really suck and weighing myself. I just won't do it until I feel "skinny".

    So awesome about Wheel of Fortune!! And totally lol about the age thing, I really have to stop and think about how old I am all the time!

    I know it is so hard at social events to keep in control of what I'm eating, so good luck!

    I always make it different haha Its usually a lot of different beans and yellow and orange bell peppers. and then I'll add whatever veggies are looking good at the time, zucchini and corn is always yummy to add. I grow a lot off different kinds of hot peppers in my garden so I'll use either jalapenos or habaneros to make it spicy and if it ends too spicy i'll add a little honey or brown sugar to sweeten the spice :)

    Hellloooo lovelies!

    Soooooo I didn't do soooo great last night, and I'm kinda bummed, but I'm determined to not do what I've done in the past aka wallow in my self pity and a giant plate of perogies- such a Pittsburgher haha. I went to the bar with my friend who I haven't seen in 7 months, and had one too many vodka sodas....and some bar food ugh. No excuses though! I'm going to let Jillian M. kick my butt until I have to go back to the bar to work. Hope you all are doing fantastic!!!!!

    P.s. I'm down for whatever weigh-ins or competitions you want to do!!! I love stuff like that, so bring it on!! I'll check back later after work for updates!

    Deuces all! :happy:

    I love, love, LOVE that you've decided you're not going to do what you used to do (wallow), but you're going to do something constructive (work out). We all have those days.....I'm learning it's what I choose afterwards that is making the difference. Good for you!! :):):)

    I invited my best friend to this site, I was wondering if she could join our group? She is down in Cali and it is a way for us to keep up with each other and stay motivated.

    Of course your bff can join!!

    Guys, I beat a binge last night! I've been telling everyone but I'm just so proud of myself! It was a really stressful day, fight with the bf, moving, and TOM! There was also a half of a sheet cake sitting on the counter which I have been eyeing for the past few days.. I decided on just having one bite, and I was done! All I could think about was how I've been on a plateau and stuck at 163 for almost a month and my weigh in this Wednesday. Though workouts have been suffering, but eating has not.

    Lunch for me I'm thinking eggs. I've been craving them like crazy!

    Challenges and everything will start Monday so BE PREPARED! :)

    Ditto here on the eggs for lunch, they actually keep me full for a long time. I beat the urge to binge last night too. My husband works away, he's gone for 8 days, then home for 6, and on the days I'm home alone, once the kids are in bed I eat as a past time. I actually ate one chocolate covered granola bar, which was 140 calories and was done!

    I beat the binge as well, last night and today is/was one of those days were I was bleh, so I wanted to just stuff my face with nonsense. But instead I went to bed, and today I grabbed a peach and a yogurt. But even if I wanted to binge I have nothing to binge on, I do not like sweets really. I like salty foods like potato chips,etc. I bought LO snacky foods that are healthy but he also like cheeto's and stuff, so I bought him things when I went grocery shopping I knew I would not eat with him.... so my binge wont happen at all.

    I, too, beat the binge! Instead I just got my doggy, (she's my little sidekick, I would take her everywhere if I could :P) and crawled into bed, and watched Rocko's Modern Life until I fell asleep. Unfortunately hubby and I weren't getting along too well last night. Didn't help that he had a few drinks, and didn't realize half of what he was saying. Woke me up at 11 pm after I had been asleep for about an hour and a half and asked me to fix him a bath and a hot dog, LOL. But I always want to binge when I feel ignored by him. Don't get me wrong, he's the best husband ever! I just get my feelings hurt when I look forward to spending time with him, and he goes straight to his computer and gets in vent with his gaming buddies. So I usually turn to chips, ice cream, cookies, whatever I can find just to be doing something, and I didn't last night! So that was a big deal for me. :happy:

    I proud of you guys for NOT choosing the bad stuff last night! Somedays that is sooooooo hard but I know I always feel great when I'm able to plow through it.

    And I think I got a little over-excited thinking fall might be here. This morning was nice and cool but it sure isn't cool this afternoon. :/ While I was looking for a good chili recipe, I ran across one of my favorite corn chowder recipes.....and made that instead. YUM. :D

    Yummy, corn chowder sounds good!

    For lunch today I went to Extreme Pita and had the Bourban Chipotle (small one, not regular) on whole wheat. It was really, really good and only 354 calories. Not too bad for a lunch I'd say. And it has a few servings of veggies in there which I sometimes lack. Living in residence is difficult when it comes to eating healthy.

    I've been struggling with drinking enough water lately. When I worked at the hospital during the summer I would easily drink 8+ glasses. Now I struggle to drink more than 4. I think that will be something I push for.

    Hope everyone's weekend is going well!

    Welp, when things get tough with hubby, that's why you have such a great companionship in your doggy! Tell her all your problems, then take her for a walk :) No binging! Glad you stayed strong!

    Use a glass that holds 16oz, and make sure you drink the full thing at every meal... there's 6 cups down! Drink another 2 during workout :)
