  • I'm down, as well. Should we set up a group? SW: 252.5 CW: 243.5 GW: 199 (for this challenge)
  • This puppy is me last week: Mother's Day was really hard for me, and not just because of all the eating out that comes along with it with my three wonderful moms (bio-, step-, -in-law). I have been having a lot of trouble conceiving, which is one of my prime motivators for losing weight. I can usually stay optimistic about…
  • Happy Week 5, everyone! I've been doing pretty well food-wise, but for some reason I had a real plummet in energy starting around Thursday last week. I spent almost the whole weekend in bed or on the couch. I am going to assume that I was fighting off a cold or something because after all that sleeping, I do feel better.…
  • woohoo! way yo go!
  • I have the same five meals during the week (with some variations thrown in to keep it interesting). I keep a list of "weekend meals," usually stuff more complicated to make or slightly richer than my weekday fare. When I grocery shop for the week, I pick two of the weekend meals off the list to shop for. I add to the list…
  • Week 3 hasn't started out too well, food-wise. I've had some family dinners, which is great, but it's hard when the meals are pizza, diner breakfast, and lasagna (all fantastic foods that I love). It's one thing to resist that third slice of pizza one day, but the past 4 days have been a non-stop test of my self control.…
  • I hate to say anything, but you may want to be careful about reusing disposable plastic water bottles. Because of the small opening, it's more or less impossible to sanitize them, causing an excess of bacteria building up in the bottle during repeated use. There are also concerns of leaching from the plastic into the water…
  • I'll be babysitting tonight and the kid's mom insist on bringing pizza over. The kid is a really, really picky eater and pizza is the only thing he consistently likes (even though he'll only eat it after all the cheese and sauce have been scraped off. I used to love adding his discarded cheese to my slice.) I don't really…
  • That's awesome! Congratulations!
  • Week 2, Day 4: Feeling much better today than I did yesterday. Sometimes you just need to vent to put things in perspective. Thanks for the responses, @Afura @Fizzgig168 @focused5 and @Lindsayannb ! It's nice to know I'm not the only one having a love/hate relationship with the scale! I am proud that after being so…
  • Week 2, Day 3: I am also feeling a bit of frustration today. I've been under calories every day, weighing my food, going to the gym, standing at work instead of sitting, drinking only water, etc... but the scale just won't cooperate. My logical brain knows that I shouldn't weigh myself every morning and that weight…
  • I set up a makeshift standing desk in my cube at work and I've been standing all morning instead of sitting. My feet hurt a little but hopefully they'll just get used to it.
  • Down 1 pound this week but some of my measurements are up. It's weird, but I'm not letting it bother me. I did well in week 1 and stayed really active. I feel great and I can actually feel the difference in my endurance when on the elliptical or hiking. I can go so much longer without a break.
  • Spring has finally reach me in Boston so I spent almost the whole weekend outside walking. It was so much fun and I was just so happy all weekend. Had my weekly cheat meal last night but because I have been walking so much, I was still under on my calories. Here's to another great week! Hope you all are doing well :)
