    Thanks, I will look at those posts. I have been good this today... but tonight there will be cake and ice cream. Its okay if you have a little, just not a lot... you can't totally deprive yourself, but you have to be reasonable.
    Yah, it isn't a week for me either as far as weigh in. because I joined on Wednesday or Thursday... I can't remember.
    I know that we are all there in this journey... and yes it is journey...

    We don't mind you joining at all =) I believe the lady who started the thread is afk for awhile or something. She usually gets right on the bandwagon and welcome new comers, but she could be busy this weekend.

    The first challenge is to drink 8 glasses of water a day.

    And welcome to the team.

    Welcome AmyNVegas! and yes, we are missing our gal hurleycutie142. but once she's on again, she'll get your SW posted in :happy:

    Today....
    Well, today was quite a challenge...I started the day off pretty good, eating a good breakfast and all. Then what was supposed to be a grocery trip to walmart turned into a trip to everywhere :grumble: normally i wouldn't care much, but i had a cookout later and i wanted to workout and take a shower before. well, needless to say...i didn't get the workout. (but hey at least i got a shower, lol) i also started feeling pretty bad..so after awhile i felt better and went to the cookout and had fun. however i ate 5 of those peanut butter cookies i had made for it... :frown: and i didn't get all my water...i'm 2 cups short again :embarassed: i've had a lot of family stuff going on so today and yesterday have been stressful. oh, and we also did not get to go walking because it was pouring AGAIN. i think all the rain has starting affecting my mood lol. i hope tomorrow is a pretty day, because i want to do something! i need a workout, bad!

    i think i need some extra motivation. i always find some in looking at the biggest loser's viewer weight loss gallery. makes me think that if they can do, surely i can too.

    have a great day tomorrow everyone!

    Water is a big deal out here. I have to drink a lot just to stay hydrated since it is so hot and dry. I think I did a bad job of that yesterday since I was out longer than I planned and I didn't drink enough. I feel run down today. I am trying to get a lot more water in today. I usually get about 3-4 liters in but yesterday it was more like one.

    I hope everyone is having a good day. I just got back from a 4.3 mile walk! I haven't walked that much at one time since...never! lol. I am beat! but I feel good about it. I'm actually looking forward to another one!
    Don't forget, we have a weigh-in tomorrow! That is, assuming hurleycutie comes back....I hope so!

    Ah, it's nice to be back home! We surprised my mother in law for mother's day weekend, and my hubby is still out of town for business. He'll be back tomorrow. In the meantime, I need to get another workout in tonight! I went over in my calories every day this weekend! :blushing: Plus (being the crazy girl that I am), my feelings were hurt a little that no one commented on my weight loss since they last saw me in December. I'm not really too sad about it, but I've been feeling pretty okay about myself lately, so I just thought everyone would notice! Ah well. I'll just have to wow them when I see them later this summer...

    My weigh in tomorrow is probably not going to be great either. For the millionth time, just gotta say "I'll keep trying and do better next week!"

    Also, welcome AmyNVegas!!!

    I went over my calories AGAIN today (I did yesterday too). :ohwell: But today has been an absolutely awful week for me so I will hopefully forgive myself and just work really hard at this next week. Today someone at work (a real jerk) goes, "Um, did you gain weight?". I mean, I shouldn't say he's a jerk. But he really does not watch what he says. He says things like this all the time. I just shook it off, but then I went home and ate a big chocolate chip cookie (which I'm not supposed to eat to begin with, so apparently it bothered me a little). Oh well. I'll show him! :smile:

    I hope everyone is doing well. I still need to go chug two more glasses of water. I do hope she comes back for the weigh-in.

    By the way, welcome to AmyNVegas! :smile:

    I finished a great book this weekend. Some of you may have already heard of the Amazing Adventures of Diet Girl blog. It's been around for about 8 years, apparently. They recently published a book of Shauna (the author's) blog posts. She started at 350 and her goal was to reach a BMI of "healthy" (165 lbs).

    I'm not dealing with that level of weight gain or loss, but it was still easy to connect with a lot of the things she said about eating and her relationship with food. Plus, she's Australian and HILARIOUS!

    Anyway, the book is called The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl. I highly recommend it. She has a lot of great advice, and she goes through a lot of the challenges most people who are trying to lose any amount of weight deal with. Here's her blog, too. If you're going strictly blog, I really think you should read the archives starting from day 1!!! :drinker:

    then saturday my dad invited me to his firefighter pancake breakfast... which i was pretty proud of myself for not eating any.. even though thats all they had... i just sat there drinking my bottle water and drooling...
    then after that my dad gave me a surprise tickets to the dodger game which i was super excited cause it was within the next hour... so me and my boyfriend went but i was extra hungry at the game... so the only option was eating a hot dog which my pills did not like very much... i was watching my step lol...
