Hello everyone!! I hope everyones weekend is going as planned. pattitricia- I use that same stuff!! I do love it. I am so glad it came out. When my daughter was potty training, she wore a nightgown at night, and in the morning, she had gone #2 in her dipey, and she didn't like it. She couldn' reach the trash, so she set it…

Hello everyone!! It's a great wednesday!! Highs- My husband is finally on the same track as I am!! They are running a pot at work to see who can lose 10% of their body weight, and it is up to 200. so, he is finally interested in getting as serious about it as I have been for the past 2 years! We sign our mortgage refinance…

Howdy everyone!! Last post of the day for me . We went out to dinner tonight and even though the only fish they had was fried, I ate around that and tried to be good. I hope everyone is having a great beginning to their week!

Hi everyone!! If you don't mind another perosn, I would love to join!! Part of my plan to work on myself is to make time to post everyday, so having great people to post to is a must for me.

Good monday everyone!!! kaytbognar- I can tell you're disheartened, I just see such wonderful things that you're doing, and can't figure out why you're taking such precious time for beating youself up!! I rarely drink anymore and I must say that most of my friends are drinkers and I felt the sme way, but I realized 2…

I am truly truly lucky to have a husband who grew up in a really great family (I did…

Happy Thursday everyone!! Kaytbognar- Since you are using a hrm, when you go under exercise, and type in yoga, whatever comes up as calories burned, you can change. So, say you did 45 minutes, it says you burned 223 calories but you know that you burned 280, you click on the calories burned part, and change it. I hope that…

Hello again. I just finished my 1 hour on the elliptical. I hope everyone had the day they planned for. Carrie- I soo feel your frustration. I am on vacation this week, so my life is a little less hectic and my daughter is spending time with her grandma, but an average week is crazy. I am usually up by 5 and I get my…

I started at 197 and am down to 163, and I have so noticed that the last 30 is coming off slower and harder than the first 30. I need you to inspire me!! carrie- I think it's great for…

Hi everyone!! Feeling more positive today about my falling off the sled over the holidays. It happens. An hour every day on the elliptical should set me right back on track.:wink: jbsweet99- I'm glad to see you're doing well too! You are definitely one of the people on here that keeps me focused. carpediem- That stinks…

carrie- great job on minimul weight gain. I was all over the three days around christmas and a lot of eating out. My in laws are all hungarian, so believe me there is no shortage on rich sweet food. As a matter of fact, my husbands grandmother made us a laundry basket (exaggeration, but not by much) of homemade cream puffs…

Hi everyone, I had a rough couple of days with the holiday stuff and getting ready to fo away for the holidays and work and trying to get everything ahead since I am taking 10 days this time. I ate crap yesterday and then did not learn my lesson and had more crap today!!:grumble: I definitely recognize my emotional eating…

jbsweet- thanks I'm just trying to catch up to you. You've been blowing us all out of the water!:bigsmile: patricia85- Spinach and artichoke dip is a pretty good idea. Fruit isn't a bad idea if you can make it fun. The more colors, the better. we did kiwi, pineapple, apples and oranges, grapes, bananas and some chocolate…

jbsweet99- thanks. I am taking a quiet minute for myself right now. I am proud to say I made a batch of peanut butter fudge and chocolate fudge for my guests and did not partake. Huge for me. I'm glad that I'm not the only one that has to be mad at myself to get things done sometimes. Sucks, but I'm soo proud of myself…

Jenn- i would tell you not to beat yourself up but I hav to admit, that that's what works for me!! I have to get angry at my behavior (not necessarily myself) and tell myself to make a decision. Go without *insert yummy bad thing here* and be skinny and happy, or do whatever I want and be jabba the hut for halloween. My…

Hi everyone!! I'm so glad to see all of these wonderful posts every day. I still haven't lost that pesky 1 pound to get me in the 160's:sad: :grumble: BUT!! Giving up is for crazy people! I did only 30 minutes on the elliptical today cause I had about 2 hours worth of housework to do. I love my husband, he is truly an…

Way to go mercuryblue!!! I am moving forward, and I have started my consequences. 1 hour on the elliptical every night. This is day 3 and just thinking about all the hard work is reason enough to stay away from the cookies. welcome to all of the new people I am seeing!! There are so many, please don't be offended if I…

Hi everyone! I have to workl late tonight so I'm checking in early. Sunday is a huge day for me. I am at work unitl 2am for inventory, so it's really hard to say no to all the food all over the place. I've pre planned my food and I did an hour on the elliptical this morning to give me some strength. my daughter stretched…

Welcome Lindsay!! mercuryblue!! I am so jealous. From the sounds of things we are almost at the exact same weight. I have been stuck at 160 for about 1 week now and I am so anxious to see 150-anything on the scale I can almost taste it!! I am so proud of you and uber jealous!! :bigsmile: :ohwell: :grumble: :happy: This is…

Hey everyone!! I haven't been on in a couple of days and I missed you guys. I have been a little sick, and I haven't lost anything this week, and THAT TIME is also here to visit. So this week my focus is less on losing and more on not gaining. No matter what I think, I do not NEED to make a pan of brownies.......and eat…

Great job with all of the exercise brandywithrow, I lost my first 30 pounds with just eating healthy alone, but it took a long time and lot of diligence. I am working on getting a workout routine, but there's no gym in the area!! My family and I go on a walk almost every night and thank god housecleaning 2 hours a day is…

I am 27 and am at 161 now. I started at 195, but I was 120 when I got married. my goal is 130 since I think I was a little underweight back in the day, but I never gained weight. (Boy that caught up with me after I had my daughter=) What has worked for me is a little weird, but I get angry at myself. Geting depressed…

did I reach my food goals- no Did I reach yesterdays goals- I don't know yet. Food, yes, but I staartd a new workout to break my plateau and my legs were really sore. It seems like when I'm sore I have a hard time seeing the weight loss for a couple of days How did I make myself proud- I was upset with my employee and I…

I am so sorry that you feel the way you do. I get you though. I want to lose weight to be healthy and set a good example for my daughter, blah blah blah... Whether we want to admit it or not, we do it to look better too. selfish and artificial? Maybe, but cold hard truth. it does sound like respect is an issue though. I…
