Hey Ladies!
Today is a cold and rainy day here in the North East!! Brrrrr! I am going to the movies tonight to see "The Stepfather"...can't wait!!! I plan to avoid all popcorn and soda...maybe a lil candy but only a serving size! This journey matters so much to me and I REFUSE to blow after an excellent week!
Weigh in on Sunday...I can't wait to see the results of my work!! I hope it pays off! I think I will only be able to get in one workout today BUT I am not disappointed because there was a point in time where workin out was not priority! The fact that I am going to get in one shows me how I have progressed!!
What are you guys up to this weekend besides Sunday weigh-in???

If the rain will stop were going to have a weenie roast with chili and smores (Yum Yum) tonight. Tomorrow we are meeting some 4H'ers and going to a pumpkin farm. Sunday ?? I'm sure something will come up. We have a busy weekend and this is when I struggle. I start freaking out :indifferent: b/c I don't have the control over meals like I do during the week. So wish me luck.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, be strong!0 -

10 lbs at a time! Let's go!0 -
I'd like to give this a shot too. Its been a while since I've been on the site, but my husband just had lap band surgery and he's losing weight and doing really well. I want to try again to do this without surgery, so I'm back and getting serious.

Ooo, that looks like a good movie. Have fun
DH and I have two bday bashes to go to this weekend. One is tonight, should lose lots of calories by DANCING! Not drinking. But before we go, I'm going for a quick jog and to the dog park for my Doberman.
Then tomorrow a get together at my friends house. Sunday, I'll weigh in :indifferent: then that night we may see Paranormal Activity. Scary!
BTW, I'm disapointed I've done so well the last few weeks, and I totally cheated during lunch. Chicken Fried Steak, I didn't eat the entire thing, but still.
I'm never doing it again, because I feel so guilty now :sad: 0 -
Today I had what I consider a major accomplishment. We had a potluck at work today to celebrate our fiscal year end, which was the most successful year (in terms of sales) the company has ever had. Available food included grilled steak, baked potatoes, salad with different topping and dressing choices, cakes, cookies, brownies, beans and rolls. The steaks were about 1 lb. each!
The accomplishment is that I cut piece of steak approximately 3-4 oz. and left the rest for someone else. I had the smallest baked potato I could find with just a little sour cream and had a large portion of salad with a small amount of french dressing and a couple tbsp of roasted sunflower seeds (no salt).
I can't even tell you how great the homemade chocolate chip cookies tasted but I made it through the day without touching even a taste of the desserts. Yay me...I have such a hard time not having dessert!
Hope everyone else is having a great day. I need to get my derrier in gear before weigh-in!!0 -
Count me in, new to the site but eager to attempt this challenge0

It's ok..we all slip up...just don't shame yourself into eating more...usually thats what happens! The worse you feel the more you want to eat something bad!!0 -
Happy Saturday!
My sister and I did the Race for the Cure this morning, and after that, the state fair yesterday, and grocery shopping... my feet are killing me! But I don't mind - it was all worth it. My sister has lost 45 lbs and is getting ready to do Couch to 5K. We both decided that one of our goals is to actually run the Race for the Cure next year. I should be pretty close to my goal weight by then (if I can keep up losing 2 lbs a week or so), so hopefully that is a very attainable goal for me. :happy:
Yesterday we ate lunch at Arby's and I had a salad and did very well - only used half my dressing packet. Then I went nuts and ate half a chicken strip. Bad idea. I haven't had fast food like that in so long that even that little bit really hurt my tummy. But that's a good thing... keeps me from craving fast food for sure!0 -
So tomorrow is weigh in one! I am hoping I did well! I actually am approaching that time of the month so I fear that I will be retaining water
Let's hope that is not the case!!! So I will check back tomorrow to let you all know how I did!! 0 -

Happy Sunday!
Had a wonderful weekend and hoped everyone else did. Got on the scale this morning and what should appear before my eyes..... 3 more pounds gone this week:bigsmile: . So that leaves me with 1 pound to go
before our first weigh in.
Here's :drinker: to this week. Good luck to everyone.0 -
Well, I'm so bummed. I've gained weight. I'm going to cry, no not really. But, I am a little bummed. *sigh* oh well. Got a personal trainer, so I'll workout everyday, then have a personal trainer 6 times a month. I better lose some darn weight, or inches, or I might just lose my brain!
I'm going to lose 5 pounds this week, whether it's fat or water. 5 pounds. 5 POUNDS. Someone hold me to it.0 -
SW 225
LW 202
CW 200 (loss 2 pounds this week)
Dont get discouraged Katie .... keep on truckin you will get there eventually
Congrats on everyone who lost weight ... and for the ones who didnt ... you will... DONT GIVE UP :flowerforyou:0 -
Good evening, everyone:
So, I didn't lose anything, but didn't gain anything this week either. I'm disappointed with myself because I didn't work out much, but my accomplishment is that I had calories left over both yesterday and today, so hopefully that will counterbalance going over my calories a bit earlier in the week.
My boyfriend and I hike for two hours at a state park yesterday and burned 970 calories and then we hiked at a different state park for two hours today and burned another 957 calories. My legs are exhausted and the muscles feel tight, even after stretching, but that means they were thoroughly worked!
I'm really going to stick with things this week so I can see a change on the scale next Sunday!!
Good luck and happy exercising, everyone!

I have been looking for a group and it seems that I may have joined a little too late for most of them. But this sounds great, thanks for the idea!

I am so happy that everyone is doing so well!!! Keep up the good work!
For those of you that are having a little trouble just tweak your plan a little bit and see if that works for you!! Just Dont Give Up!!!!
I have a busy day today....I have to be sure I have all my food prepared and ready to go...so there is no room for slip-ups!!0 -
It's great to read these messages to stay motivated. I was only down .2 this week . . all b/c of one bad mood last Wednesday.
My Nov. 1st goal is 210
Current weight: 214.8
Still doable as long as I keep it in control.
Way to go everyone for keeping on track - just by posting messages, I think, is a way to stay on track.
Happy Monday!!

ok. I'd like to join this too. Maybe I can stick to a diet and get this weight off with a challenge like this one. Can I join now or is it too late?0
