you don't need to eat, you need to read a good book, jog in place, start a craft or something else. YOU CAN WALK AWAY from that bag! :P good luck! know you can do it!

congratulations! enjoy the trip and the time in NYC! such an inspiration! cheers!

hello there! good luck with your journey to a healthier you! i just started this week too!

i agree with the other posts, go do some exercises to earn some more calories! otherwise, tonight isn't going to be fun at all. you deserve a good meal! go exercise!

have you tried switching up your routine? maybe you're body is saying it needs a break before it loses the rest? i dunno, but sorry sweetie! maybe week 5 will be the magic week!

sorry about the contract chica, you can still get a wii if you ask every family member to give ya cash towards it for christmas, right? honestly, i think it's the best thing i've ever done. my bf and i got it two years ago and i begged everyone to pitch in and get me the wii fit plus w/ board for christmas. i love it. i…

i'm going to agree with this one! i'm lucky to have a very supportive bf (who didn't think i needed to lose weight in the first place) but geez.... is you husband jealous that you're looking so damn good or what?? does he think if you lose weight you'll leave him? sounds like he's sabatoging you for his own benefit. sorry…

my glasses of wine are quite generous too... oh well! :D if i have extra calories left at end of day, i'm going for a good ol' glass of wine! :D hell, i deserve it if i can get through a whole day at work w/out going my calories! :drinker:

struggling w/ the whole late night eating tonight... so i'm thinking soon to bed so i can count this a Me 3, LNS 2.

hello girlies! i'd be glad to assist you in the friends and motivation department! help me stay on track, ok??

we will all have bad days, we can move on and try to do better tomorrow. i know when i'm upset i'm more prone to fast foods and junk. i am so sorry for your loss, but epstein barr is not a death sentence. take the meds, try to get some rest and keep on truckin! Kristy:wink:

i am so with you! all my excess weight is at my stomach and chin.... so people actually ask me how much longer til i give birth. :explode: i think the only real way for us to lose it for good is aerobics and caloric intake. i think it's going to be a long, hard road but it'll be worth it!

well, i definitely qualify for this thread! i am not a mom but people keep asking me when i'm due... :( i'm not preggo, just have a fat gut. so, i'm guilty for over-eating for one and now look like i'm two. i'm almost to 200lbs and i want to get back down to a much healthier 160. i don't want to go overboard and be stick…

wouldn't that be nice??? lol

just filled the glass when i noticed your post. all gone now! thanks for the challenge! :drinker:

yes, i did the same! so sad... lol

hello shawna! i'll join your challenge! my final goal is to get down to 160 from 195, but i'm hoping to be at 183 by new years... i just joined MFP yesterday and i'm highly motivated. You have a big family! Do you take them all to curves with you? why not ditch the curves if you can't get there and buy a wii. there are…

sweet! gotta love when someone actually notices! the last time i lost weight i never noticed, but everyone else did. finally someone gave me a picture and i couldn't believe it was the same body. i'm hoping to repeat that! that guy made your day!!! woot!

lol don't be ashamed! as crazy as she is, her music does have a good beat.. at least the newer stuff, not the young spears stuff...

hello! i made a chicken snack wrap w/ leftover chicken pieces, some shredded mozzarella cheese, lettuce and some chipotle ranch dressing on a flour tortilla. it was a good satisfying lunch, but i didn't realize how much empty calories were in a flour tortilla... oops... still well under the caloric intake for the day. i'm…

rihanna and beyonce have great booty shakers! :D salsa music, too! black eyed peas have good beats, and so does some of pink's songs. gwen stefani has some good beats if you can get past the annoyingness of some of her lyrics. :P

oh lisa, don't do diet sodas! anything diet w/ splenda, aspartame, or the likes of chemically concocted sugar substitutes is really really bad for your body. in fact, the main ingredient (methyl alcohol) turns into formaldehyde in your system. you know, the stuff medical examiners used to use on corpses??? yeah, that…

wow, 12lbs in one week? i hope you aren't going overboard and end up on a plateau after a few weeks. i don't want to be a debby downer, but i do want you to lose the weight in a healthy way. going too fast is a huge stress on your body and i don't want you to regret losing! :D good luck

great idea! i use leftover chicken all the time :D

i'm looking for motivation too. i'm at the beginning of my journey, though. i'd be happy to help you if you can help me stay motivated! :D just add me!

oh man, i'm obsessed with mint choco girl scout cookies... i have to avoid them like the plague now. if i eat one, a whole sleeve is gone in no time. :( sweets are my downfall, too. if i were you lisa, i'd stay far far away from the cake and maybe chew a piece of gum if you can?? kristy

congratulations Jen! that is wonderful news! bet that made your whole week! :flowerforyou:

i do the same thing. i can't stand them to be "free" cause they are just unruly! lol i am going to try to keep them "up there" and booby like for as long as i can! i am kinda discouraged that the cup size goes down and makes them look flatter, if i'm understanding you all correctly. i don't want hangers! lol Kristy

good luck with all your efforts! i just started yesterday and i'm hoping this site keeps me motivated and held accountable. i like that the message boards seem very active and that peers are here to support us so far. feel free to add me as a friend and we can keep each other encouraged!

i would love to join you all in this challenge! i typically dont get home til 630, so dinner is around 7ish. I am going to try not to eat anything after dinners, but allow myself til 9pm on weekends since dinner is a "normal" time then. Me 2 LNS 2 I need me some motivations! Kristy
