    bumped up a pound - way too many unusual foods in one week - so I'm preparing for a solid week of chicken salads, hard boiled eggs and low carbs. Am I the only one who has a harder time drinking my water when it's cold outside? Is herbal tea an appropriate replacement?

    I'm also realizing that sometimes I push my workouts too hard. A slow gentle fat-burn does more for the short term than a pop till you drop kinda burn. I retain a lot of water while my body heals, and the long term pay out takes...a long time. Balance is everything, I guess.

    My daughters house was broken into on Thursday and all the gifts we sent them stolen. Plus all my grandsons wii games and console and DVDs and the play station. Really sucks at this time of the year.... Everything will work out in the end but I am up 2 pounds!! Ugh, my rings wouldn't even go on today so hopefully it is all water.

    Hi everyone! Looks like alot of us, myself included, are struggling! What was I thinking trying to get started this time of year! To top it off my hubby is home ALL THIS WEEK and well, he has a hollow leg & LOVES to eat. So we've been whipping up all kinds of goodies & eating out.... UUUGGHHHH!!!

    I just have a super quick minute right now but I'll try to get on here tomorrow & get the new weights posted. I do see some HUGE weight losses recently & need to update the rankings. Good job to those staying on track!!! I

    Congrats to all with losses!! I'm down 1 myself!! Yeah!

    It is a tough time to get started, however, I used to tell my clients that ANYTIME is a great time to get started!! We're not doing a quickie diet, we're all making a life style change. Waiting until the first of the year, usually sets you up to fail. It only take 21 days to create a new habit. Take baby steps, work on getting all of your water in. I drink out of 16oz bottle; thats 2 8 oz cups already. Make it easy on yourself.

    Try making a list about things you want to change about your eating habits, then tackle a couple at a time. Typically if you try to change everything all at once, you won't, you'll get frustrated, and give up.

    Life only goes one day at a time, some of us, (me included) have to tackle challenges each day. If you know that you did the best you could that day, then pat yourself on the back for what you did accomplish, and tackle a challenge the next day. JUST DON'T GIVE UP!!

    I had a bad day yesterday after such a great week. Being a teacher we got sooo many cookies and candy and I ate until I felt sick and then pretty much just threw the day away :o( So I got back on track today and I am reading this great book about ignoring the voice in your head that tells you to eat crap and listen to the true voice in your head that doesn't want to. You cant eat crap if you won't let your hands pick it up and your mouth chew it! So back in the game and I will weigh in soon.

    SW on MFP: 240 pounds
    SW on Challenge: 237.4 pounds
    CW: 231.4 pounds
    Challenge loss: 6 pounds!

    Congrats to everyone's losses so far! Don't feel discouraged if you lose less than 10 pounds, because any kind of weight loss is better than none, and even if there is no weight loss at all, you are changing your lifestyle for the better and you should all be proud! =)
