I really enjoyed the August challenge. It was a great way to track progress on a much smaller scale than the large amount I need to lose overall.

Hi All, I hope August is going well for you all. We are preparing for our trip to WA next week, so keeping my nose to the grindstone as much as possible this week. I was talking with a friend at church over the weekend, and I told him I keep feeling this surge of frustration when my friends ask me to go to the gym with…

Too true, I've been looking closely at this as well. Thank you for sharing.

I can relate so much that it makes me sad. I listened to someone speak a few weeks back about the difference between satisfaction and contentment. One thought that stuck with me was that satisfaction is about the physical, contentment is about the...mental, spirit, whatever you want to call it. I'm turning these ideas over…

I hear you on this Jenn. I have been so irked the last few weeks. My eating isn't spot on, but it's been pretty good and the scale wouldn't budge. Finally got a whoosh of 2 pounds this morning. Keep on keeping on!

Sorry to hear you feel sick Lea @aleahurst . I hope it gets better. Feeling frustrated with the weight loss journey the last two weeks...not up or down much of anything. Just the same. I guess I shouldn't wish for mere movement; it might end up being in the direction I don't want it to be! :) Oh well. Wish me luck. The…

Hi All, Amy from Texas here. Hoping to get some much-desired reading done this weekend while my husband is out of town. I have a workbook I'd like to start making my way through, as well. Only a few weeks until we leave for WA state...maybe a massage while we're gone? I don't know yet. Trying to be nice to myself, and not…

I'm in. This will be my first challenge like this. Weigh day: Friday Starting weight: 253.8 Current weight: 237.4 August goal: 232.4 Ultimate goal: 150 August 4: August 11: August 18: August 25: Total weight lost in August:

Hi Ladies, Sorry, I know it's been a while (this is exactly how every entry into my journal starts out...). Staying busy; I guess that's not a bad thing. My niceness to myself this week was not berating myself after totally blowing it this weekend. We overstuffed our weekend with food-centric activities, with disastrous…

Good morning all, I decided kind of last minute to join my husband for a night at a camp he runs every year. So I rode with a friend and am two hours from home, stayed the night, and going home this afternoon. About a 24 hour jaunt. I didn't have much time to plan for this, but I managed to stay in my calories yesterday,…

Good morning ladies. I have been reading through all your posts, even though I've been a bit absent as far as posting myself. Monday-Wednesday are my busiest days of the week, so here's to getting today over with! One of my beautiful behaviors I'm really enjoying this month is keeping off the scale. It's been so…

@jessiquoi, that sounds like a solid strategy for evenings. I've struggled with that time of the day before, too. I'm having a hard time this weekend. I have a lot of free time. I would normally go to the gym or browse around a store, but I started experiencing some sudden pain in my knee last night, so I'm taking it easy…

I just posted a rather long reply...but of course most of it vanished into thin air. Ugh. Anyway, the net/net was that I rely on prelogging for the day and things I can eat piecemeal...boiled eggs, crackers, string cheese, bits of chicken. Protein and the ability to eat 2 peanut butter crackers and then go work for an hour…

@katadx , I do have a lot of experience working more than one job and trying to keep my calories in check...not always successfully.

Hi All, I'm new to this thread, but it sounded so lovely, I couldn't stay a lurker any longer. My name is Amy. After about 8 years of working what I affectionately refer to as "full-time plus" (full-time plus full-time school; full-time plus part-time; etc.), I recently cut back my hours at my regular job and and my…

I hear you there. I've got about 80 pounds to lose. I keep hovering around 10 pounds under my highest ever weight. I don't like the hover. Let's be friends!
