    I don't feel like I'm doing very well today at all. We went to this meeting, where the meal was catered. Well, I didn't even like it, and yet I still ate it. Nothing healthy at all. I should have only eaten a few bite, to be polite, and then said I was full. Instead I cleaned my plate like a good little ( not so little) girl.
    The food was borderline bad. It was blah at best. Why did I eat it ALL!?!?

    All I can do is move forward.
    Tomorrow is a full day of work, since I work both jobs.
    I am thinking about getting the Wiifit plus. It's only $20, and I do like the Wii fit, and am excited about what new features it might have. But I will do a little research first.

    There is also a new 'biggest loser' game for the Wii. I dont' know anything about it yet, but Bob and Jillian are on the cover.

    Well, I did very well today. I stayed with what calories I was susposed to, but I haven't drank all my water for today. I have been in bed pretty much most of the day due to my back but at least it feels some better. Tomorrow, I am going to do some exercise even if it is just walking, I hate not being able to do any. My weigh in day is tomorrow, so we will see.

    don't beat yourself up over it. Just get right back to eating great tomorrow. I have found that when I ate something that I shouldn't eat, I would beat myself up over it and that didn't help one bit. I wish I had a wii fit. Maybe one of these days I will get one. :flowerforyou:

    Good Morning Everyone, today is already turning out to be a great day!!!! My weigh in day was today and I have lost 52 pounds!!!!!!! I am finally out of 40 something lost after months of struggling just to do what I was susposed to be doing. For everyone, please don't give up if you mess up, just pick yourself up and keep on going. We all can do this, if I can anyone can. If you want to go and read my story on my profile. The most weight I have ever lost before this was 20 pounds, and the longest I have ever been on a so called "diet" was 2 months if that.

    Okay lets have a water and exercise challenge today: at least 64 oz. of water today and at least 30 minutes of exercise. :flowerforyou:

    Hey can I join? I want to get healthier by eliminating processed food completely from my diet. I think that processed food and fast food are what's causing Americans to continuously get fatter and fatter. I am the mother of two children and I want to be a good example to them and I want them to grow up active and healthy.
    I am not extremely overweight but I am overweight by about 10-20lbs. I also have lots of stomach trouble and I think its because I eat lots of crappy processed food and I LOVE sugar..addicted to it. I have started trying to eat healthy time and time again but every weekend an eating binge occurs because of some activity involving food. It's frustrating..very frustrating..food is everywhere..crappy food. I just can't say no..I completely fall off the wagon weekend after weekend. Anyhoo. I'm willing to try AGAIN for the millionth time. I need an accountability group to keep me on track. I also want to help others too. I love to workout, it is a habit for me. I have worked out for many years and have considered becoming a personal trainer. I would like to actually look like one though LOL.

    My stats are
    Current weight:158
    Goal weight:145
    This morning I worked out for 53 minutes and intend to go back to the gym tonight for a bit..or I might take the kids on a walk later. I have had almost a half gallon of water already. My daily goal is to drink a full gallon.

    I just want to say congrats to Laura for losing all of that weight. It is tough to stick with weight loss..very tough. Especially for a mom.

    Great day,,,
    Worked out for 30 min high cardio this morning and went for a nice walk 2.2 miles with my Jimmy, instead of running. (since he wanted to go I thought time with my husband was more important than getting a run in tonight) Balance in life is what is MOST important. I'll run tomorrow!!!

    drank my water, stayed in my cal's and feeling good...
    Ready for tomorrow:happy: :happy:

    Congrats to the good day had by you guys today. I have done well myself. I worked out for an hour, have had almost an entire gallon of water. I still have about 500 cals left to eat today. I probably won't eat nearly that many though. I might even go lift weights tonight if I get bored.

    I have done well today. I've stayed below my calorie limit, drank my water ( some crystal light) and have exercised. Not too vigorously, since I did Wii Fit, but I still did something. And I think that is the key. Maybe it's even better, if you are more intense some days, take a day off now and then, and also have some lighter work out days.
    My goal is to have an entire week of this. But I can only take it one day at a time. So far so good.

    I have made it 9 days without being bad or anything. Congrats on getting the water in and doing the exercise.

    Id like to join in as well

    Im in a different time zone being in the southern hemisphere. but still need some support..

    Im feeling aweful at the moment as I have had a HUGE dinner today and no exercise. Work was long and tired.. the last thing I could think of was exercise let alone cooking anything decent. So I ate out (had a heavy creamy indian curry) and im really paying for it now.. Oh am I feeling FULL!!!

    boy am I kicking myself.. why do we do this to ourselves

    :sad:
