    Well got on that scale this morning, and I'm down to 160.5. So two pounds lost. :drinker:

    Casper: Sorry to hear about your ordeal. I suffer from heart flutters/irregular beats. But I know what is causing this issue, since I have a heart murmur. It was my 2nd heart specialist that pin pointed what type I had. So keep trying to find the answers. :smile:

    ok well i had my day all planned out then my mom wanted to go to lunch so we went to Fazoli's!!!

    that place is dangerous.:grumble:

    but i managed to only eat half of my entree and logged it all in ..... 550 calories!!!

    a little high but it was nice to know i could keep it reasonable and i am headed to work out so i should have plenty of carbs on hand:tongue:

    just wanted to share....:drinker:

    thanks lady!!!! i didn't do so well with the white wine last night after getting home.

    i probably shouldn't equate cooking with wine tasting:drinker:

    i feel kinda crappy today but i think a walk around lunchtime would do me some good.

    hope everyone has a great day....it's nice in denver :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Ang :heart:

    hi Im here tadaaaaa :tongue:
    Ive been staying under calories for the most part this week (save for the trip to buffalo wild wings) and Ive done my 30 days shred every day this week! Im hoping the rain we've had for days lets up enough to go for a bike ride to the batting cages this weekend cuz I usually dont have the tv to myself long enough to workout on weekends

    Finally, one good thing for me has happenend:tongue: I weighed in today, tomorrow actually the "thinnest"day of the monthe for me, but anyway-140.4!!!:bigsmile: That's down 5.2 lbs! Two changes I've now made...the battery in the dang scale, and I've been Eating Clean for almost 2 weeks!
    I feel so good not eating sugar and crap, I'm trying to stay clear of that addiction, and so far so good. I haven't been able to strength train either though:angry: so maybe some muscle loss too, I don't know how long that takes. Anyone know?? Either way, I feel thinner, my hubby says I'm looking leaner, so I'm pumped today. Now to deal with my 17 your old when he gets home....

    5.4 lbs till goal, and a rocky Sept. coming up...

    ive been working out and dieting like crazy and I havent lost a pound. Since before joining the site Ive lost 4 inches in my waist and 4 in my hips....but so far no astronomical results. The site says I should be losing at least a pounds a week but no such luck. Im doing everything Im supposed to. I dont get it.

    By no means am I tempted to give up...I just see everyone having results weekly and I get none of that

    I just finally became honest with myself and knew what I was doing wrong, and FINALLY got control. And I stuck to those calories allotted even on days I couldn't exercise.

    Ive stuck to my calories, Ive even kept myself from eating totally unhealthy food (for the most part) just because it stays under calories. It seems everyone here "splurges" every so often. I feel like Im just really unlucky or something. Whatever. Starting next week Im making myself up my workouts each weekday from 30 minutes to 60. We'll see if it makes any difference.

    yea I practically get those mood changes on this whole things throughout one day! lol
    Ill be in the kitchen, just cooked dinner, and consider throwing just as much on my plate as I put on the bf's plate just because I spent the time cooking it and smelling it as it cooked.
    Or ill get up in the morning with a headache and all Ill want is sugary salty foods, excedrin, and a dark place to sit and do nothing and Ill force myself to do otherwise:laugh:

    I'm new to this group as well. That is actually my goal before I saw this post. I actually want to reach my goal weight by Halloween because I want to look my best and I will be wonder women. I only have 8 pounds more to lose but I heard the last couple of pounds are always the hardest to loose.

    I've been gung ho for about 3 months and I'm running out of steam. You're right, it is a mind game. I have to set little mini goals for myself. Right now, I can't wait to get into the 160s. Then I'll concentrate on the 150s, and so on. :tongue:

    Also, I started a 30 Day Shred group to start on Sept 1st. I just got the dvd and have never done it. I'm just about at my cycling goal and I need to do something new. Joining challenge groups on this site helps. Feel free to join in if you think it will help... :happy:
