anembellishment

3 1/2 weeks, maybe we can! Hey, if I can screw up as much as I did and still be optimistic ... heck we can all do this. Good morning all hard working GGs!

Scales do stink! But I should have figured it out. They're conspirators, I'm convinced. Thank you! Have a great day.

My WW scale is trying to drive me BONKERS. Yesterday I had gained back almost all the wieght I had lost. Today, I'm just about back where I was before I blew the eating early last week. Just goes to show how devastating all this water weight can be! And, I suppose, why we need to keep drinking all this water. (By the way,…

Nope. I can't eat a bite.

I like the idea of JUST TRYING to eat wings without one's clothes on. It's better than trying to eat with a bikini on! Nice to hear from you all, with naked wings or not!

Thank you Mango! One pound a week is exactly perfect. I can't wait until I can say the same! You do look great!

WTG! Congrats. Can you give a little advice? I lost 4 my first week, then gained back 3 because I messed around this week. Did you stay true to cals, water and excercise - I have a hard time being perfect.

Hey Before! Thank you and happy for your loss. It is a victory when you're running! That's what threw me too, taking in new jobs, then coming home tired and giving in....geez. That, and I think the quick loss of water let me think this was going to be ~excuse the expression~ a piece of cake. lpadilla: Keep going, this will…

Yoo hoooooo. Gutless Gutters, where are you? Tme to get rolling and time for me to get serious. All of my screwing around early last week caught up with me on the scale this morning, as expected. But, been here, done this ... and turned around and running back to catch up with my guttless gutters. So, I'm eager to hear…

That's why we drink so much water!!

Oz scares the children. Something about those monkeys. But they always like the melting witch. That's what's happening to the next 10 pounds.

Morning! Errr... starting out WELL. I'm a writer in real life, can't you tell?!!!

Guttless Gutters are in fine form this morning! Chiming in the the yes, I'm enough with the icicles too and yes, being cold makes one hungry... Max had a part in the Wizard of Oz's high school play .... and I need to see that rule book! New day, starting out good!

Either I missed it or I have the honor of starting today's thread. Sorry I missed you all yesterday, I was busy picking up a new client. I took a quick read though, and see why we need each other. I came back yesterday and back on track, much more hopeful again even though I did fall the night before (Tuesday) eating pizza…

Thank you Guttles Gutters. I have been absent, and fearful of signing in because I've been busy the last two (yes, two whole days) sabatoging my progress to 10 down by Valentine's. This binge and purge is what I do and why and how I hang onto the weight. Those of you who have come so far, were you ever in this kind of a…

Yea for you 3babybeans! Snowpants! I haven't seen mine for about the same amount of time, but by Feb. 14, there will still be snow here! Heck, since it's likely there will still be snow here at Easter time, I intend to have those snowpants so loose that they need to go to Goodwill! I didn't know about your puppy, but hope…

Hey Carl I want spring too.!.. it's getting closer even if it's just in my head ~Minneapolis is 0 degrees and the weathercast keeps saying that is warm for next week the temperaure will join you in below 0 double digits. I keep teling my hubby that though I was a southen bell in a former life and we need to move.! Now!.…

Lisa you're the greatest. Now I'll be telling off all sorts of food! I think it helps when someone sees you do it though! Did not check weight ~I always fear the scale. Been eating okay, right to the calorie limit. But I worry that my tablespoons are bigger than the tablespoons recorded and such. AND, despite making Kellch…

There is a group of sweets you can make by the brand name "No Pudge" I have some No Pudge Brownies in my cubbard but haven't tried them yet. Many who follow Weight Watchers swear by them. Then, there's Weight Watcher desserts, but I always want more! Some other MFP members alerted me to the Recipezaar website and they have…

Morning - weight unchanged. I suppose I need to go to the weekly wiegh-in as the daily fluctuations are definitely not helping, especially when my eating is much better. A for diet: Eating okay yesterday, too much protein at dinner put me 10 cals over, but I walked off 175 calories before turning in. Late excercise better…

Checking in late .... well I was up about a pound this morning.:sick: But, I'm okay I ate underneath my calories yesterday, but ate dinner at 11 p.m. because of a late meeting ~volunteer stuff. No excercise or much water either. I also think the day Sunday, where I slightly overdid it is catching up to me! ~That's my story…

I like the daily check in too, please. You guys are fun.

This Guttless Gutter is in! Great challenge on a day where I was waivering :devil: .... okay 10 lbs. (I'd like to strive for 12 lbs) but Valentine's Day:heart: . And that will only happen with excercise at least 5 times a week and more water drinking! :huh: What's the dope on Mountain Dew? My diet Mountain Dew has been…

I had to reply, since I'm Amy Lynn too ~and Lynn with 2 Ns like you. Funny. Monday is my restart day, again ... I too have 30 some pounds to go too .... and I need to restart as I blew it New Year's eve, restarted and need to restart again for I blew it tonight for my daughter's 13th B.D. ~but not as bad as New Years, but…

This site is wonderful, inspirational. Thank you. I also found a youtube site "fantstarlite" last year where she recorded her weekly loss using wieght watchers ... I think she lost a similar amount of weight. Her videos show the challenges and give tips and provide ideas on how to stay motivated week to week. Here is the…

There is something to be said about setting your sites too low! That's always been my problem, because I had two sisters who were anorexic and could just stop eating.~So I, the heavy one, always thought that was the way to do things, either starve or keep the calories so low I it was rediculous ... but I'd always break…

You just gave me my mantra: "Looking fine inn 2009!" Great for a starter .... Have the happiest of New Year's while you're looking fine! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

I've been asking my hubby this since before Christmas ~well "last minute Joe" decided we'll rent a room at a local hotel so the 4 kids can swim. Then we'll step out for Chinese and come back for a home Happy New Year with the kids! Kind of lame, but since I'm just starting with my weight loss, I do feel too fat to go out…

I woke up this morning and weighed myself ~weighing much more than I have ever weighed in my life. Faced with the need to lose 38 pounds, I began the day swearing I'd fast and excercise. Well 30 minutes on the treadmill and 10 minutes of Pilates showed me even more how I must commit to this. But my fast broke at 1 p.m.…
