    Hi all, I'm a late one checking in today. I see all of these "good nights" already.... LOL! I'm still trying to get adjusted. I think I did pretty good so far today.

    Judy - It was good to see that you enjoyed some roasted seaweed. I also snack on roasted seaweed. I'm currently working on Teriyaki flavored. Says its hot but it's not. but, In my effort to stop my compulsive munching, I've got this at my desk at work. It's a jar filled with individual packets of seaweed at the grand total of 10 calories per 2 packet. I usually make it through 3 or 4 but that's not bad considering a bag of chips or chocolate weighing in at 150 to 250 calories, not to mention the additional portion of guilt. By the way, lorika1977 - I purchased the seaweed at Walgreens. It's possible that they carry it due to the large Asian population in S.F. Worth a check in any case.

    Thanks for the tip! I will definately check Walgreens. :)

    WOW! Congratulations everyone!

    Merl is in the 200's!!!! That is fantastic! :drinker:

    I had a bit of a slow down on the weight loss this week. 151.2 only .4 lost. I am a little relieved. I thought that I wasn't going to lose anything. I peeked at the scale earlier this week and my weight was up, so the .4 is welcome.

    Oh and other good news, I have only been riding my bike for the last week or so, but I am starting to feel a difference in the tone - very slight of course, but very exciting.

    I don't know if you guys saw but there was an announcement that they want us to migrate our thread to the groups section of the site.

    Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

    Weigh in today! I'm so happy to see all of the wonderful results from the group! Here are my results!

    Last week: 231.4
    This week: 229.4
    That's a 2# loss and I'm finally out of the 230s! I'm so thrilled to finally see a decent loss.

    For those that judged my dedication and commitment to a healthy lifestyle based on a very stressful week with some not so great food decisions, obviously I did something right as I'm feeling thinner and seeing a difference on the scale. I've made my food profile private again to avoid further comments like I received earlier this week.

    I'm here for support and motivation, not to feel judged or criticized for a bad week. I know I'm not perfect and neither is anyone else. The choices I make with food affect me and no one else, I'm the one that has to live with the consequences. This journey is a learning process and I've come leaps and bounds from where I was in my undergrad 4 years ago. I'm proud of myself and the daily accomplishments I continue to make, with or without a splurge of donuts, lattes, or Red Lobster. I realize this week wasn't fantastic for me, but at least I recognize my own mistakes and I'm willing to change. I'm sure that the comments were meant to be helpful, to offer advice, and to open my eyes to my decisions, but the manner in which they were presented felt like I was being attacked, not supported. This comment isn't meant to create any drama, but I felt it was important to speak up about how those comments made me feel. :embarassed:

    I'm off to conquer Day 4, Level 2 of the 30DS. :drinker: Keep up the great work everyone!

    I'm happy to report that my scale, for the first time in over a year and a half, my number did NOT start with a 3!!! I weighed in at 299.8! (close, but still, it's a 2!!!) That puts my total weight loss for this week at 3.6lbs! I'm SOOO happy! Hope everyone has a great Friday; I'm off to fix my breakfast!

    WOW - GREAT JOB!!!!!! First I was going to post that yesterday was a bad day!!:sad: Then I decided I am going to say yesterday was a FUN day!!! I had a Tuna Sand with Avocado and some fries...pizza and wine...infact I think I am still full:huh: On this journey...I sometimes feel like if I skip some exercise or have a bad day of eating I will never get back on track!!! But back to forming good habits I think I have really started to form "GOOD HABITS" It's OK to go off and have some bad stuff...and I think it's OK to have those weeks or days where you are eating things that might not be good for you but staying in your range!! We know what we should have and it is important to work those good things in.........but we are living life and have to adjust!!

    So in my true rambling style:tongue: I am saying I feel good today. I will eat right...enjoy some wine tonight and will try to get a run or walk in later today! I also had 3 comments on how good I am looking yesterday :glasses: 2 from work people and 1 was my DAD telling me he is proud and my hard work is showing :blushing: :heart:

    Today I have to go to a funeral :cry: for a guy I worked with who is my age...with young kids...cancer:cry: I will be on the road for at least 3 hours round trip...so I should try to run now..but I think I will try to skip the reception and head home to run.

    Good Job FLC ~ Keep it up:heart::heart: :heart:
