Here's to hoping September is more successful than August!!

Welcome from Columbus! Best of luck to you!

I creep too. I didn't until a good friend informed me that I missed a bite I had taken of a tortilla bowl at lunch one day. It's nice to know that somebody is keeping me entirely honest even when I'm not. :laugh:

Best advice I ever received, "those brownies look better on the plate than on your hips." Don't get me wrong, I still have the brownies, just not by the plateful any longer! jrich1 is absolutely correct, you can't diet and expect it to last. You have to change your entire lifestyle. The site is full of the most supportive…

Yes, that.

Chatting with the ladies counts as exercise right?

REALLY?? It's everywhere here (grocery stores, gas stations, literally everywhere). And it's good stuff Lushes!!

Thanks ladies! I appreciate the words of encouragement and support. Today is already a million times better than yesterday. Odonna- I haven't experienced any weight gain or even any bloating, it's all been emotional so far. But I could be the exception to the side effect rule. Good luck!!

Water- 64 oz down, 64 more to go (not counting workout water) Workout- Was planning on walking at lunch but mother nature wasn't having it, it's pouring. Unfortunately, it's going to stop & get REALLY humid. So I'm doubling (plus a little) my evening, was going to skate 3 miles, now I'm going to do the entire path & skate…

1. ANY type of stress (losing weight, school, job, worrying about something) can mess up your cycle. 2. I had Mirena also and it was fabulous! I loved not worrying about BC ever but... I didn't have a TOM for 2 years so if not getting yours freaks you out this is something you'll want to consider. I know it's not a…

LOVE it!!!

08/09- (Actual weigh in day) 176.8 I was worse this weekend than I thought. Hoping to even it out by the end of the week!!!

I'm in! I'm in! I'm in! :wink:

Last time I went they had a salad bar, it was measley but grazing on carrots & lettuce is better than their pizza! I'd suggest eating a good protien before you go & try to avoid the food there.

Absolutely!!

This article makes me all smiley inside. http://health.msn.com/health-topics/cholesterol/slideshow.aspx?cp-documentid=100261759&GT1=31007

You can totally do this! Just remember, you have LOTS of support!!

08/01- 177.2 08/06- 176.0 1.2 already :bigsmile: and the humidity is supposed to be WAY down for the next few days so I'm thinking a nice long skate is in order! Weddings & birthdays galore this month, hopefully they won't derail me too much :drinker:

I eat more meat now than I did before I decided to be more healthy. That being said, I still don't eat a TON and I'm much more particular about the type/cut of meat and how it's prepared.

Exactly. Only it's more like 15lbs.

I only get 2 or 3...

So no drinking near nisijam5 or rjadams. Check.

Now I'm starting to think I should have bought more than two!!

It does! I started C25K in June (though not very committed...) and am running my first 5k next month. The first few times I ran my legs hurt so bad I could barely sit down or stand up but your muscles will adjust to it. It may take longer than 9 weeks, oh well, the important part is to stick with it!! 3.1 miles isn't…

I love grilled portobellas!

Maybe I should get a cat to catch the elf.

I can't even begin to explain my happiness at finding this thread!! I squealed. At work. Home drinking is my big problem, I'll open a bottle of wine while making dinner and suddenly it's empty. The label says there are 4 servings so I'm guessing I need smaller wine glasses... My August goal is going to be to drink only 2…

Amen. Zoey- I managed to get a GREAT Nike two piece (think tankini & skirt) at Kohls for next to nothing this weekend and it was spot on size wise.

Could not not NOT get my buns out of bed this morning. I'm sure the glass and a half of wine with dinner last night *may* have had something to do with it. It's raining this morning, hopefully it will still be raining this evening when I'm off work, LOVE running in the rain!! Goal for today- set LT goals. And watch the…

CONGRATS!!!!
