Okay you guys are so awesome! Sorry I have been MIA - I won't make that mistake again - you miss alot! Thanks for the encoraging words... I am dreading tomorrow! = ) Tamm - that is awful about your mom... but if she is as stubborn as my mom.. better tread lightly on the issue. "He who angers you, conquers you." - That…

So based on the fact that I ate very badly this past holiday weekend but it seems all the exercise evened it out >>> .8 lb weight loss isnt horrible given the situation. So I was at 151 and now I'm at 150.2. I'll turn in all my measurments later today... thanks for all of your support.

WOOP WOOP!!!!!! That is good stuff!! Great motivator! Thanks for sharing.

Familygirl!! i did the same thing... so mad at myself... but ya know what - can't change the past. I am just moving forward! I get on the scale tomorrow to see the damage I have done. And YOU should be proud of what you have lost so far!:flowerforyou:

Brush your teeth!!! That works everytime!

Okay... so I joined this group and then the holiday from h*ll came around.. I have NOT eaten well in the last few days... stayed in my calories (by workin my tail off at the gym)... but the food was not healthy! My family had a new edition on Thanksgiving day.. so there has been alot of running around and eating together..…

Happy Thanksgiving. Big shopping day tomorrow... Im going to have to weigh in late.

I suggest you NOT log your calories... unless you are ready to take a beating! :grumble: Even with exercise calories and I mean OVER exercising.. it ain't pretty.

Any way I can join this clan!!??!? You guys are terrific motivators!

Now that is an inspiring story! You rock!

Yes... the food I like to eat is bad and high in calories... I watch and am careful - but sometimes when your rushing and broke that piece of pizza at costco just works... I just supplement it with exercise. I usually don't go over the combined calories and I can eat the same stuff over and over... When I get sick of it..…

Congrats on the half at such an incredible time!!! I plan to do a half Sept of next year... the is one in my boyfriend's home town... we'll get in a visit and an accomplishment. Thanks for the inspiration...:drinker:

Congratulations! Im jealous!

Yes - I refuse to deprive... that doesn't make sense on Thanksgiving... I wish I had someone to run with... make it way easier... but I'll be biking 30 miles that morning or running ... and then of course some black Friday shopping!

Im in! One of the best things I ever did was not allow myself to eat after 730.... haven't been doing that so much lately... Im in!

I have one from a company called minoura - start on ebay and amazon.... I LOVE mine... Use it every single day for at least 30 - 45 minutes. Depending on if I combine with another cardio machine. It keeps your butt conditioned! If you ride you know what I am talkin about! I am doing the MS bike ride in 2009 and I am sooo…

Tam!!! You're my inspiration! You look fantastic! Keep up the hard work! Or at least just maintain!

Who cares about pounds... inches are all that really matters... Pounds are too hard to monitor... because if you build muscle like I do... that is heavier anyways.

Thank you for the post... And I am so sorry about your father in law. All the more reason to be healthy - so thanks for sharing. What a great story - congratulations to you.

I hope you're right... I have worked to get to 5 miles.... and I am afraid.... But I want the toned bod - so I gotta do it! I was supposed to do it Saturday, but luckily I got sick! =:laugh: I may do it Wednesday morning.. ya know before I gorge on Thursday!

All I can say is - do you know the person well... cuz if you don't - just remember they could live in a filthy house and have a cat that they let lick out of the batter bowl. :laugh:

Hi there.... I am new to running - I have done 2 5ks in the past few months - my best time was 34 minutes. I am hoping to work up to a half next year. We'll see... but it is a great feeling.. I just hate the cold weather... I need to move some place warm!

Yes... I have had serveral friends who went on zoloft and gained weight. You have to be very careful on what works with your body.

Then let's swap! I am always over on carbs! :wink: I don't think being low is bad unless you are working out alot. You need the carbs to burn.

I did a boot camp about a year ago, and the nutrionist said that was the Biggest WATCH OUT. Sugar can slow your metabolism - so I would offset it with some fiber. = )

Way to go! I have to say that I do drink Diet, not as much as I used to, I ustd to be a junkie! I swear when I started dieting 4 years ago that was the hardest thing to give up. I remember WW had it as 8 points for and an 8 oz glass and I would save my points to have one glass a week! Finally I gave it up, and now my…

When I lost 40lbs I went down a shoe size.. but if you're just down a few pounds my guess would be water retension is causing your issue.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have made the first step to the new you! I'll tell you this... water aerobics are your best bet - but every little bit counts! If you can ride a stationary bike for 5 minutes or walk for 5 minutes- DO IT 4 Five Minutes! You'll amaze yourself on how quickly you'll be at 30 if you stick with it! Good…

Just as long as you don't give up... this is a life style change not just a diet...

Where did you get that work out? That is fantastic!
