    I am going to post my weight today since I won't be here on Weds. I hope that's okay.
    I hope I don't gain too much on the cruise this week. I have come too far to go back now, and besides I gave all of my fat clothes away today. I no longer have them in my house.
    I only missed my goal of 200 by Aug 1 by 3 lbs so I am excited about that!!! I would love to come back from vacation and be able to say that I lost, wish me luck everyone.
    I hope everyone has a happy healthy week.

    So I finally got a workout in this morning, I did Week 1 of Biggest Loser Cardio and 20 minutes on the treadmill. I feel great, I am chugging :drinker: :drinker: my water down because I am so dehydrated after my workout.
    I am hoping that I eat well all day. I am planning on going for a walk with my fiance this afternoon at a local park :smile:
    Here is a healthy day!

    Meemaw I hope you have a good trip. I can't imagine how tempting the food on a cruise will be!

    Just found out we are going to St. John from December 5th to the 12th. So forget Christmas, I need to look good for that!!!

    I worked from 8-6 yesterday and actually went out and jogged 2.5 miles when I got home. In 80degree heat! I was feeling so good yesterday!

    I probably won't get a workout in today but I've done so good on my calories so far. Only 550 eaten and I have 650 left to go for dinner!

    Have a great day everyone!!

    I got up earlier than normal today and am super sore from my workout yesterday. I have already eatten a healthy breakfast and am getting ready to pack my lunch. I am spending almost all day at school working on a project :grumble: But I am really hoping to get a workout in when I get home from school tonight. Even if it just 30 minutes.

    Have a great day everyone!!!:flowerforyou:

    Hello all! Welcome to the new joiners!!!:flowerforyou:

    This was a good weekend for me and I feel back on track. Yesterday my BF and I went for a run in the morning and a hike in the afternoon and I burned almost 1000 calories!!!:noway:

    Anyway, after logging in all my food for the day I had like 900 calories left at 8pm, so instead of leaving them, I went and got a brownie with frozen yogurt. :blushing:

    Still had about 200 cals to spare by the end of the day. Just curious, what do you all do when you have tons of leftover calories? I don't want to eat too little, but maybe the brownie wasn't the best "filler?" Any thoughts/opinions?

    I wasn't so good this weekend. Usually Sunday is my day of rest, because I try to exercise 6 days a week. But I didn't on Saturday, it was my husbands birthday. So I ran around doing stuff for him (and I know that will burn a few calories, but not like if I'm at the gym). Yesterday, I was at my parents, and I helped them adopt two cute tabbies from a rescue group. They're 3 months old. The little girl's orange, and the boy is a tuxedo kitten. And I did run around getting them set up in their new home, and playing with them. Also A LOT of Standing yesterday. So I went over my calories intake alotment more than 350. That happened at late night snacking: my cravings were like a monster. Excuses, excuses. Anyway, I'm determined to get back on track. Two days, before next weigh in. I'll be happy if I didn't gain.

    Those kittens are sooooooo cute. It was worth it (not exercising, I mean).

    Oops! I posted this on last week's thread! Here it is again!

    I went on a trip with my youth group last week and seriously FELL OFF THE WAGON!!! I tried my best to make heatlhy eating choices, but when you eat out every meal for 6 solid days it makes it really hard. Especially when the 6 teenagers you are with constantly want to go to the mall for dinner! Plus it was my TOM and I didn't drink anywhere near my water goal! As a result, I gained 5 lbs (some of which I am hoping is my TOM gain):grumble::sad: :grumble: Oh well , what to do:ohwell: ??? I started off fresh this morning and am happy to say that I am back at it again!! I'm not going to let one little set back deter my entire future! :bigsmile:

    I unfortunately eat the calories in unhealthy ways but am starting to switch to a dessert with fruit. The other night I had a small piece of pound cake, a bunch of strawberries, and a little cool whip.

    So I didn't eat as well today, I did good all day until I meet my fiance for dinner. The good news was that I ate half of what I normally did. I am going to go to the biggest loser workout again and then off to sleep :smile:

    Hope you all had a good day.

    Good morning all. Had a beautiful three mile walk this morning. It was a bit humid but the temp was not too hot.

    I put myself on a very reduced carb diet over the weekend. I have been trying to lose by keeping my calories in control, but nothing has been happening. It seems the only time I lose any weight is when really keeping my carb count low. Hopefully it works again. I have been stuck at this weight since march and it is really getting frustrating.

    Hope everyone has an excellent day!:drinker:

    Trade the pound cake for Angel food cake and use fat free cool whip...VERY guilt free!!!
