Thanx everyone for the help. I went out for my workout and actually did 1 hour (jogging, walking). I am happy that I got it done. Sometimes it gets a little difficult to get motivated, but with the help of you guys--I always make it!!!

Can't leave out the 1/4 :happy:

I am 5'1" and 1/4.

I haven't done any strength training, but I've been running.

OMG!! GREAT WORK!!! I couldn't be happier for you. Trust me, two pounds equals 7000 calories burned--that's a LOT of calories. Keep it up!! Your MFP family is here 100% to support you.

Thank you guys for the awesome advice. I feel better already!!

Has anyone tried the skinny girl margarita?

Apple martini sounds good.

I usually like vodka, but I am open for suggestions.

Thank you all!! I am happy to report that I was able to walk away. The moment I wrote it on MFP I felt better; I knew I wasn't doing this by myself. I feel so proud of myself and my MFP family for having my back.

Do I have enough time? I will give it my best shot. Count me in!!!

Wow!! 11 pounds in a week? That's amazing!! I have to watch my eating, that's my biggest problem.

Thank you. Good luck to you as well. I am here for support when you need it.

6. Instead of eating when you are stress, take a bubble bath, go for a walk, or let us help you at MFP.
