Will be celebrating my Irish heritage with a huge kettle of Potato Soup and Soda Bread (although as the heating element is out in my oven I'll be experimenting with cooking my Soda Bread batter on a griddle stovetop. Hope it works out okay!) Hope everyone enjoys the holiday!

I thought that less calories was the way to go as well, and I struggled with losing weight. Really anything less than 1200 and you are putting your body into starvation mode. I finally wised up and I eat no less than 1500 a day and I've had so much success since I made that decision. I agree with above posters, as a guy…

I know I certainly hope to see some kind of results after a month. I'm almost done with week two and I've been sticking with it well so far. It's a great workout series :happy:

Two days in a row of High and Tight AND Tummy Tuck. I'm going to be soooo sore lol!!

Glad to be back in the Ravenclaw Common Room again :bigsmile: Working on week 2 of Brazil Butt Lift. Hoping to see some changes by the end of this week! Can't wait until Sunday! That's my rest day from BBL, and it's when I'll do mission 2 on my Zombies, Run! app. I did mission one this past Sunday, did a 2.38 mile…

Oh and by the way after a loooooong period of doing nothing and not watching what I eat I'm back. :bigsmile: I have missed keeping myself accountable....and I let the fact that I got to my goal weight make me think I could just stop EVERYTHING. SOOOOOO wrong. I have put back on about 8 pounds that I would like to lose…

I was a vegetarian for 10 years....I tried vegan for about six months and it was a challenge. I totally love the vegetarian lifestyle and if someone told me today that I had to give up all my meat and go back to it.....I wouldn't have any problem with that. However I don't believe it's right for anyone to try and push…

Yay! Just finished week 1 of Brazil Butt Lift and I love it! I swear after just one week I'm already noticing a bit of difference. I'm doing the pear shaped plan and will decide where to go from there after the month is up, because I intend to restart my C25K to get ready for two races coming up and also am dying to try…

Pretty much any Rob Zombie gets me movin!

Had a big, nasty possum in my closet one time! :noway:

Pam....you have just hit the motherload. The 17 Day Diet is how I FINALLY lost baby weight I've been carrying around for 10 years after having 4 kids. Where nothing else worked.....the 17 Day Diet did for me! I'm sending you a friend request....I've already turned others onto this diet and it has worked for them....and for…

I will sporadically break out into an accent of some type when talking to others. I've been told I'm very talented :bigsmile: I like to also use the four years of Spanish I took in school to occasionally go off on someone in Spanish at work just because I can and they can't and they have no idea what I'm saying......and…

After a being a bad bad Ravenclaw and not checking in for AGES, here I am. I see I even made it on the detention list last week. EEK! Don't want to go there again. It really does seem like this time of the year really sucks it out of me :frown: 1. Stress of the Holiday season 2. Desire to eat lots of the bad stuff that 's…

Ok, so I'm officially in the maintaining zone like I said.....trying to keep it between 130-135 (as per request by my fiance that he would like me to not lose any more weight). I am happy to have gotten back down into a size 5/6. I DID however want to get closer to the lower end of that.....130.....before the next eating…

Welcome to the 130's! It's a nice neighborhood, should you decide to stay awhile. :) So, I was thinking last night...do you ever find people around you making a repetitive comment to you? Like when my kids where little bitty and I'd take them all out to the store or something I'd always get the "You really have your hands…

I was bad and didn't post a weight last week. Looks like I missed the cutoff for this week too. I'll go ahead and post my weights anyways :wink: 09/05: 152 09/12:150 09/19:148 09/26:148.3 10/03: <<<>>>144 10/10:144 10/17:140.3 10/24:139.3 10/31: <<<>>>137.1 11/07:135.4 11/14:133.8 11/21: 132.2 11/28: <<<>>>133.5 12/05: 133…

I like the zigzagging theory! That's right up my alley :wink: I also felt a need to "shock" my body this week. I didn't even weigh last week....I should have. I have however been making sure to log all of the bad food I've eaten so I can go back and look at it and be shocked at myself. It worked. I have been soooooo on the…

Reporting in for the week. Since I'm on maintenance my goal is to stay in between 130-135 now. Two days after Thanksgiving and now on my TOM I'm still hitting the scale at 132.4, so I stayed in my range and was able to indulge. I'm not going to report any OWLs this week....I didn't seem to have time to keep track. However…

Just saying......chicken is not ALWAYS lower calorie than beef. Case in point, went to pick my engagement ring up from being resized (had to get it taken down to a 4 1/2!!!!)......anyways my fiance wanted to get White Castles. I ate really really well all day and so I thought...oh a couple of mini chicken sandwiches won't…

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I overindulged as I knew I would, but now I'm ready to get back down to business before the next holiday event comes along :bigsmile:

Oh boy! A mini challenge. Ok..... This is a week for most of us of overindulgence. And even though we've all been working to lose, we SHOULD be able to enjoy with our friends and family this week. However, there's no reason we can't keep it in check! I read somewhere that you should be able to put what you want.....on HALF…

Hey you can add me! I also am working towards being a healthy bride. Getting married sometime in 2012 and trying to stay trim!

Checking in. I have gotten to the point where I am pretty much considering myself to be in a maintenance phase. My ultimate goal was to get my weight in between 130-135 and keep it there. So, I don't really have any more to lose....not really sure where that puts me with the Ravenclaws? Do I get to stay around for…

I also am five pounds away from my final goal and I have had the hunger thing going on! I've been eating more but still managing to stay under my calories. But the way I look at it....when you are hungry....EAT otherwise you are gonna have a meltdown and eat a whole bunch of junk you will regret later. I also get cold a…

Had a loss for the week. Down to 132.2.....was hoping to have a loss before next weeks holiday lol. OWLs: Food:7 (I was a good girl and logged everyday what I ate lol) Spirit:2 (Trying to get back on track. Doing better but....still have work to do lol) Exercise:3 Total OWLs: 12 House Points: 195

Weighing in for the week! Can't believe it's so close to our end goal date! 09/05: 152 09/12:150 09/19:148 09/26:148.3 10/03: <<<>>>144 10/10:144 10/17:140.3 10/24:139.3 10/31: <<<>>>137.1 11/07:135.4 11/14:133.8 11/21: 132.2 11/28: 133.5 (Mini goal) 12/05: 12/12: 12/19: 12/24: 130 (Final Goal!!!!)

Thanks everyone for the congratulations! :flowerforyou: If a wedding in my future doesn't keep me motivated to get it off and keep it off, nothing will!! Hope everyone is having a great morning!

Thanks everyone on the engagement congrats. :flowerforyou: It's nice to be with someone who doesn't stress me out so much that I eat just to have something to do. First time in my life. And he's so supportive of my weightloss journey. It makes it so much easier :bigsmile: I'm trying to get back on track with everything…

Well I'm weighing in for the week at 134.8. Less than five pounds away from my "ultimate goal". After some consideration I've decided I'm doing a quickie courthouse wedding and spending all wedding funds on a Hawaiian honeymoon! Cottage on the beach, Pearl Harbor monument, volcano tour! This of course will require me at…

So, I knew I was going to eat badly this weekend, and this weight is actually from Friday before all of my anniversary naughtiness (one huge fishbowl sized margarita and half a bottle of champagne, but it was an occasion worth celebrating! :drinker: ) I had a small loss, but I'll take it :) 09/05: 152 09/12:150 09/19:148…
