Losin' the Eggstra by Easter 03.23.09

omg i have had a really bad week to i was done to 159 last week now i am 163 again ugh i want to punch myself... and my mother just called me and said i got u a box of peanut butter girl scout cookies HELP i would like to get back down to 159 again by next sat

My diet-saboteurs were disguised as Samoas (Caramel Delights). One thing that helps is to bury them in your freezer!! Or, give them away to someone or share them!! And, if you do eat some, just exercise more and drink a ton of water to make up for it!! It happens to the best of us! Just don't give up!!

:flowerforyou: Morning Ladies! :flowerforyou:

Theresa - Glad you're gettin back on track! :bigsmile: We all believe in you and know you can do it! Yay for water and healthy choices! :flowerforyou:

PSM - Yay for golfing! Congrats on the 2lbs lost!! :drinker: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

Coliechacer - I understand set backs, it could be a lot of things contributing, but don't try to FORCE a big loss. 4 lbs in less than a week is a LOT. Take it day by day, make good choices for you, watch the sodium, get in some good cardio, and just breathe! :flowerforyou: :drinker: You can do it!


I myself wasn't TOO horrible this weekend - considering I had a Bridal Shower on Saturday and then a belated St. Patty's Day dinner with the family last night. Mmm, mom's homemade Irish Soda Bread is what did me in! :laugh: It was worth it though. I didn't make my goal of being below 240.0 BUT I did lose about 0.4 this past week, so I'm that much CLOSER to being in the 230s on friday/sat this week. IT's going to be a CRAZY week for me so I'm just trying to stay as organized/motviated as possible.

Going to see Fiddler on the Roof on Wednesday, with the ORIGINAL Tevia!! :bigsmile: Definitely excited about that!

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL day today and I'll check back in later. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

P.S. - Update on my niece: She's doing SO amazingly well. Mom got sent home on Saturday - so she's taking it easy and trying to get her swelling to go down. Apparently her Blood Pressure is still through the roof. Anyway, the DRs are saying that if baby Amanda can pass her required tests and screens, she'll possibly be able to come home in 3 short weeks!!! :bigsmile: :drinker: :bigsmile: YAY! That's so great for a 2 month premie! Thanks again for ALL of your thoughts and prayers, it really means a lot of have this kind of support from people that dont even know myself and my family. It's deeply moving and much appreciated! :smooched:

I had a great weekend of working out. 5 hours of moving furniture, boxes, etc on Saturday, and Sunday I was carying 5 gallon buckets of sap through the woods all day. Despite the great workouts, I gained 2 lbs this week. I am really hoping it is because I drank soda this weekend (first time in 45 days). I plan to hit the gym and stick to water this week, and hopefully I will drop the 2 lbs + more next week.

Good Morning!

I was fairly active this weekend, and stayed w/in my calories- but still stuck at 160. I officially started cycling my calories (http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm# ) on Saturday, so we will see if this helps! hopefully!!!

Congrats on the losses, ladies! Have a great day!

Well, I didn't do too well this weekend. We went out for mexican food, barbque, and icecream. But I am back at it this morning and will be working out at jazzercise. I did gain a pound+. So I have to work extra hard this week.

Good luck everyone and have a healthy happy week!

Hey everyone. I had an okay weekend. Sunday is usually a bad day for me, but yesterday wasn't toooo bad. I did indulge in 2 bbq'd hot dogs on buns last night...bad me!!! But saturday was sooo busy, I only ate a total of 400 cals, that includes black coffee cals. Today I am finding it hard to fight temptation. And I need to get my butt in gear and do some exercising while the 2 babies are sleeping and the 2 older ones are at school.

Since I was having trouble deciding what my start weight will be for this challenege, I decided to just set a goal weight, instead of having my goal set at losing 5lbs. So, by April 10th my goal weight is to be 184. Right now I am at between 188 - 190. I really need a new scale. My scale is soo old and it's not accurate. You have to ADD 10lbs to what it reads, and then you can step on it and get one weight and then step right back on it and it be a couple lbs off.

Anyway - I'm sleep deprived and hoping this made sense lol.

GOOD JOB to all of you and keep up the good work!

Ohh...and my goal today is to do 100 crunches, 15 minutes of yoga, and do as much cardio at my kids will allow. LOL Ohh...and drink all of my water.

I'm really thinking of not weighing until this challenge is done also. I am sooooooooo concerned with that stupid scale. Think I will take a break from it.

The weekend wasn't horrible for me. I worked 12 hours Fri, Sat, and Sunday so I didn't work out, but I am on my feet all 12 hours so that is ok with me! I drank all my water all weekend, but I did splurge and had a homeade cinnamon roll Saturday and a piece of birthday cake on Sunday. A person has got to have a little desert now and then,lol! I weighed in today and lost one pound, which considering TOM is almost here I am happy with! I didn't work out today, but I have been cleaning my house since 8:00 this morning, so I have been moving. Great job everyone! This is going to be a great week!
