    I am down 1 pound for the week which is great since I am on prednisone for broncitis. Today is last day, perhaps tomorrow I will loose fluid. I tend to hold fluid and gain weight on prednisone. I am taking some good nutritional supplements and have noticed that in the last day and half I am less hungry and having fewer cravings.

    Hope it's okay that I post my weight on Wednesdays ... that is the day I began and that is my week tracking day.

    Sorry to hear that Afergason, hope all is well...


    CW 174

    No loss this week but it wasnt a good eating week, but I am optimistic this coming week will be better.

    I have been trying to bring lunch to work now( fortunatly a symptom of the cafeteria not great here), any one have any good ideas for stuff to bring other than frozen veggie burgers or salads. i am creative with dinner but im uninspired for lunch.

    I forgot to weigh myself this morning! It was not a good night (life-wise, not food-wise, I actually was really good). :grumble: I'll weigh/measure tomorrow morning.

    198.5 today.
    Working shift work, midnight shift spec. really screws up your body clock.

    Going to try and start 50-30-20 (P/C/F). Trying to get my 1g/1lb of protein in daily.

    Rant.
    Well my OH had a scale that we have been using, I also had a scale I bought previously and wasn't being used, but since the other one has stopped working more often, I brought my scale up to the bathroom.
    So for giggles, I thought I would jump on both to see any difference.
    Scales were ~ 4 lbs different.
    Ok, no big deal, as long as they were always 4 lbs different.

    After I woke up, etc, I tried weighing again. Scales were lower, but also with in 1/2 lb of each other.
    :laugh: :laugh:
    Go figure.

    One of the things the wife and I do is to cook meals that serve 4. Before we even begin to put food on our plates, we package up 2 servings of the food in plastic containers for the next day's lunch. That way we are limiting our portions and we have tomorrow's lunch figured out and ready to go.

    We also keep several boxes of lower calorie (lean cuisine, weight watchers, kashi, etc.) frozen lunches in the freezer for days when we don't want leftovers.

    This weekend was off track for me - entertaining guests gets me off very quickly. This week I am looking to just get diligent with tracking ALL of my food. Also, I have found that when I keep my breakfasts, lunches, and snacks relatively the same each day, I am more successful. I can then mix up my choices at dinner and more easily stay in my calorie range. Hope you all have a great week!

    Can I still join I really need something to get me moving down the scale. I hope I'm not too late. My name is Olga and my start weight is 169-173# (havent really weighed myself in a couple of weeks). My goal weight is 120#, I might not be able to reach that by 1/1/10, but I'll take whatever comes. My hobbies are working out, :noway: I have done P90X, Chalean X, turbo jam etc. I used to run when I was younger and currently have a membership to a 24 hour gym. So what is the problem? I know what to eat and how much, I just lose motivation (and I love food). :sad:

    Starting weight (will weigh in on Thursday) 169-173#
    GW - 120

    not so well, a lot of changes are being made to my schedule that are out of my control, but the up side is hopefully my husband and I will be waking up early for a morning run. we have both tried doing this on our own and it never lasted, so hopefully if both of us do it we will have better results.

    Still having a struggle with food choices.

    I'd like to join despite being really late.

    Starting weight:262
    Start for challenge 229

    Goal 120

    I'm Stef, I'm in college and still trying to figure out what to do with my life. I'm in a general arts program right now.

    I'm not sure I really have any hobbies. My life is homework right now.

    Interesting fact: I started dating my husband when I was 15.
