If I'm going to cave in, I want Cold Stone Ice Cream and nothing else will do!:laugh:

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: You did it, You did it, You really really did it!!!!

I am having a similar problem. I just started MFP and calorie counting last week, but until about a month ago was working out at least 4 days a week. But I wasn't losing weight. Of course now I see it was because of the calories I waseating. But now that I have cut back on calories, I don't have the energy to work out!!…

I can only drink water ice cold, so I freeze my bottles about 2/3 full, and then add fresh water in the morning. I have a thermal wrap cover that zips over the bottle, and it keeps it cold all day or until it all melts.That works for me, but may not be for everyone!:happy:

That is great!! WAY TO GO!!!! So proud of you! I am sure it did not just go POOF, it took alot of hard work on your part - AND YOU DID IT GIRL!!! :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

Just got home from work - it is after 10:30 and my teenager did not do the laundry like I asked her to!!! I still didn't get all my calories in and it is too late to eat now. Oh well. I am hoping to get home earlier tomorrow so I can at least do a Walk Away the Pounds video, but it was truck day and I am too worn out from…

I work at Walgreens (am I allowed to say that) and my schedule is fairly stable but always subject to the whims of management. I currently work 10 - 7:30 Sun & Mon, 4 - 10 tue -thur and have fri & sat off.So, my hubby gets the bulk of the child care since I see everyone off to school and he is home at night. I just started…

Hooray!!! Great job!:bigsmile:

Okay, but I think we should share our $0.10 , you know to adjust for inflation!!!:laugh: :laugh:

Dear Current Boss- I know that you are new to the management thing, but honestly aren't you present in your body when you are creating the schedule? And yet somehow you only scheduled the pregnant girl with the sprained ankle and one assistant to close the store? And you couldn't find it in your heart to stay and help?…

1. I love the Yankees!! 2. I am not really Derek Jeter 3. I love The Closer and Criminal Minds *and I had to edit this because I am a dork and posted with only two things, lol!:blushing:

You can do it!! Everything in life starts with taking that first step, and you already have a great mindset, so I know you are on your way!! :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

You:smile: :smile: :smile: rock!!!!

Excellent work - I am so looking forward to fitting in a smaller size!!!

Hooray!!!:happy: :happy:

Welcome, you will love it here!! Lots of great info and support! Good luck on your journey!!

Thanks everyone. Had to go to work right after I posted so I didn't get a chance to say thanks. We all rock!!!

Started this last wednesday and I weighed 200 lbs., although when I entered my info I put 210 because I hadn't weighed yet and was guessing. Today I weighed 197!! Yay, 3 lbs gone!!!

Ain't it the best when that happens?!?!?! Yeah - way to go!!!!!

:sad: :sad: I am so jealous!! I love In'n'Out burgers, but we moved to Colorado a few years ago and we don't have any here!!! But that is interesting!! I can't imagine losing 2.5 lbs after "cheating"1

:happy: :happy: :happy: That is inspiring to those of us just getting started!!!! Way to go you!!!!

Thanks! Tonight I just put moderate walk which was 150 cals for 30 mins and that sounded about right.

:sad: So sorry!

Okay, so tonight I did Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds 2Mile, which is 30 mins. On walking it said 4MPH brisk, but it didn't feel like brisk walking to me. Is there somewhere to find info on calories burned using exercise dvds? Because I have several different kinds I would like to use and don't want to mess up too…

Try to distract yourself in those moments and remember why you want to lose weight. I try to drink water and then wait at least 15 mins. to see if I still want to eat - usually not. Hang in there!!

Hooray for you!! I know it is hard not to celebrate with food, so that was extra good for you!! Congrats on the great review and raise at work also!!

:smooched: Hooray!!! Great job!

It's my first workout day and I did 30 mins. on elliptical and 20 mins on bowflex, mostly upper body at 20 lbs resistance. I feel pretty good!!YAY!!

Every day is a new day and a chance to start again. You can't go back and change the past, but you can impact the future one day at a time. Just take it one day at a time, one meal at a time, one food choice at a time! Get back on that horse and go girl!!

Hope you don't mind, but I just had to send that one out to some friends on e-mail!!! That is great!
