Very proud of myself right now!

Nice job! I have a hard time saying no at our office because people bring a lot of homemade items and they want you to try them. They are finally understanding why I am laying off now that they can see some of the weight loss. Keep up the good work!

So...a true testament to my newly found will power. Our HR manager was coming around with Timmy Ho's donuts, in a moment of weakness I took one, set it on my desk, looked at it for 2 minutes and then ran to get the IT guy to remove it from my desk! Soooo incredibly proud of myself right now! Wooohoo!

*Woke up this morning and realized I hit the 35 lb mark for weight loss! 5 more lbs to go before December 30th, I promised myself I would lose 40 lbs for my birthday, the gift of health! Long way to go but baby steps will get me there!*

Let's hear about your proud moments!

Ok, am I the only one who find this funny? "ran to get the IT guy to remove it from my desk!" I had visions of squealing for my husband to come kill a spider for me.

Great job on the will power!!!


I am proud because today marks the 5th day with NO soda. I had been on a steady diet of 2-3 cans of diet soda a day.. I woke up Monday and said... "Diet coke, today I'm breaking up with you!" Since I've eliminated soda, I have upped my water intake to 2-3 36oz bottles of water a day. I haven't seen a scale difference but I already feel better!!

way to go! saying no to Timmy's can be really hard and I occasionally "splurge" with a large coffee and blueberry fritter... I love blueberries!!

@hillm12345 - way to go on the no soda!! I was drinking approx 6 cans of REGULAR soda A DAY!! Three months ago I gave it up cold turkey... had a migraine from hell for a couple of days but then it got better. I definitely upped my water intake and I'm down 5lbs and 9 inches since I gave up the pop. It's the only big change I've made diet wise, I still exercise same as I did before but without the pop I'm actually dropping the weight cuz I've got 600 cals a day I'm NOT consuming... and I love it!!!

My biggest "proud" moment recently was when I bumped into a mutual friend of mine and my mother's. She took a good long look at me and asked me "how much weight have you lost?" NOT "Have you lost weight?" It was SO incredible. When I told her it was only 5lbs she was shocked, said it looked like I've lost a lot more than that :-) It was awesome!!

Awesome job!! That is the hardest part of the holidays for me. The mindless eating of all the treats at work. I am happy to report that I've managed to avoid 6 boxes of chocolates, 5 tins of cookies, 3 plates of fudge, 2 birthday cakes and a table full of donuts too! I just sang that in my head to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas...maybe that needs to be the new MFP Christmas song

Keep up the great work and that is what we use our support systems for...to remove the temptations for us
