    Slightly devastated. But I swear its because I haven't been on here so much lately. This site, and this group really helps to remind me of my priorities! 5 weeks to go, and 14 pounds....

    I'm back to doing crunches
    5 sets of 14 every other day. I've been drinking enough water every day and logging my food and exercise. The cool fall weather hasn't kept me from walking outdoors so I'm staying active.

    How is everybody else doing ????????? :smile: :smile: :smile:

    I was doing great until my husband asked for some freshly baked banana nut bread!! Then went over to the in laws for dinner and my mother in law made her famous lemon cake AND chocolate chip cookies!!! I am getting ready to go run on the treadmil but I will have to run all night to work off those calories!! :laugh: Luckily tomorrow is Monday and I can get back on track!! :blushing:

    Looks like you are doing great! You are such an inspiration!!:flowerforyou:

    I've been doing well for the last couple of weeks, since I returned from holiday. I've been keeping to my exercise and eating plan and it hasn't been difficult. I don't know if I'm going to meet my goal - 7 lbs in 5 weeks, but I think I'm going to get close.

    I feel very focused at this point. The scary thing for me is, that I've felt this determination before and somehow let it slip away. On the other hand, I've felt this determination before and quit smoking to become a serious runner. I'm not quite sure what the difference is for me between success and failure.

    So, with that in mind, I find this short term goal (the TD challenge) is really helping me to keep focused. If I start to think of my ultimate goal too much - I get discouraged.

    Good luck to everyone!

    Ack! Tomorrow is weigh-in day!! I feel very bloated and NOT like I've lost any weight. I had a pot-luck on Saturday - but didn't go crazy and I think it was my only transgression. I will be getting on the scale one toe at a time (it helps me :wink: ) and looking through my fingers at the reading.

    How is everyone else's week going?

    How funny, I was doing the same thing this morning!!! I normally don't weight myself before the weigh in but I just had to see!!! I don't think I've lost any weight this week because I did eat alittle more than I should have but my goal this week was to just stay in the150s and I think I did manage to do that!!

    Two weeks from today is my husband's company's "Fall Fling" (it is the holiday party, basically). I have a cute cocktail dress that I feel I look fairly good in, but I'd like to slim down my tummy a bit. I'm wondering if I can step it up the next two weeks to lose 2 lbs a week. So far, it seems I can only steadily lose 1 lb a week (not that I would complain about that, either). That would also get me much closer to my TD goal weight.

    Any suggestions? I'm working out 5 x 50 min a week (circuit and jogging). I'm drinking water and keeping to my calories. I just changed MFP setting to 2 lbs a week (although it only lets me go to 1.5 lbs a week really). How can I amp things up for the next two weeks (or is it not realistic?)?

    Keep your eating the most nutritious possible (no sugar, junk food, alcohol, caffeine, artificial sweeteners. processed food) , log every bite you eat, look for every possible opportunity to burn calories, and keep your stress level low.

    Good luck, I know you'll look fabulous. :bigsmile:
