Good Monday Ladies, Well it has been 9 days since I had my last cigarette. I think I am getting a hold of that. I managed to stick to the plan for the weekend, that is until Suday. Had lunch with the parents at Tony Roma's. Could not resist the baby back ribs. Only ate a few though. Hopefully walked some of it off. Browsed…

Up 3 lbs this week! :sad: I have had a really hard week. I found out last Friday that my mom has COPD and Emphysema. On Saturday we made a vow to both quit smoking. I have not had a cigarette since. Of course my waist line is paying the price. I am doing better today but rest of the week has been pure hell. I went over my…

No loss this week. I was expecting it though. Had a few days this week where I went over calories target. I am actually happy that I didn't gain. Better luck next week. Congrats to all who lost this week!

Late checking in again so sorry. Down 2 lbs this week. I am offically out of the 150's yayyyy me! Hope everyone has a great weekend. ~Tonya

WOW Great loss this week Maggie! :flowerforyou: I am down 2 lbs. this week. I am happy with that number but I messed up by peeking 3 days ago and I was at 149. I guess that day I went over gave me a lb back. Oh well it is still good.:smile:

You too are an amazing mother! I had always looked at my weight as my problem. I never realized that it was also effecting my family. I have always tried to put my kids first. I thought as long as I was taking good care of them I was being the best mother I could be. But by me not taking care of myself I was in a way being…

There were several things that helped me to push myself to lose the weight, but the thing that sticks out the most is when my 11 year old daughter came home from school in tears because her school friend whom had come over to play the day before was on the bus making jokes about her "fat mom" It broke my heart to see her…

Hello All! I have been reading through the posts and I can really relate to a lot of you. Exactly 1 year ago New Year's day I was 28 years old and weighed 263 lbs. I could not believe that I let myself get that over-weight. Honeslty I was more than over-weight. I was "OBESE". I used to hate that word. I was so unhappy with…

OOPS:blushing: Guess that is what I get for skimming through the posts to fast. Sorry Maggie. Not having such a great day here. I have been hungry all day. It is only 4:30 and I am already 145 over my calorie limit for the day. I think TOM is on the way. It is about that time. I always seem to feel as if I am starving from…

I also agree with the WW smart ones desserts. Honestly they have kept me going. My favorite is the Chocolate chip cookie dough sundae 170 cals 3 grams fat. As for brownies, my sister says she uses about 3/4 can of diet coke with her brownie mix, nothing else and they come out great. haven't tried it yet though.

Good morning Ladies, Checking in late once again. So sorry :sad: Now that the kids are back in school and hubby is back to work, it's time to get back to my routine. Weighed in thursday at 152. That gave me a 1 lb loss for the week. No complaints here though. Welcome to all the newbies. These ladies rock. You have picked a…

Late checking in again. Hubby and oldest 2 kids are on break. Never enough time when the whole family is home lol. Same as last week. No loss, but no gain is great. I really thought that I would gain a few lbs this week. I don't think I have ever been so excited to see the scale not change lol. Haven't done well with the…

Hello ladies! I haven't been able to get on for a while, missed last check-in. I was down 3 lbs as of 12/24. Of course I am sure that it will be back up come this Thursday. I couldn't resist those Christmas cookies over the holidays. I made about 6 dozen to take to my mother's house and didn't touch one until I got there…

1 lb down this week. I'll take it. I got back on track with the workouts. I felt so blaaaahhhh when I slacked off. Since I have been getting my workouts in, I have felt so much better. Maggie, so sorry your feeling bad. That really sucks to be dealing with a cold and period at the same time. I hope you feel better soon!…

Don't know how I did it, but I managed to go down 2 this week. I was scared that it would be a +2 since I have really been out of this week. No exercise.

Congrats on fitting back into that shirt Tanya! :drinker: I bet that felt amazing. I know what it feels like in a way. I always saw my mother as being small. Now I can fit into her clothes. Actually they fit my a little looser than they do her now :happy: . Now she is wanting to climb on board and lose some weight. Thanks…

Happy Monday ladies! Or is it? I was so bad last night. I went out to dinner with the family and OMG I ate a lot that I should not have. We went to this really really good Mexican restaurant and Yes I ate the chips with salsa and queso. How many? I couldn't even count :ohwell: And on top of that I had Chicken fajitas.…

Sorry in advance everyone. I am trying to figure out how to post my pics on the boards. So if they don't come up sorry for wasting this spot on the board :blushing: Okay didn't work sorry all. If anyone knows how please tell me lol.

Don't know how I double posted there sorry.

Great job! I quit for 2 years and like an idiot started back a little over a year ago. It seemed so easy to quit the first time around, but now I am having a very hard time. I think part of my fear is that I will gain back weight. I gained about 80 lbs in the 2 years after I quit. The problem was I replaced the cigarettes…

Down 1 lb this week. Feels good to be back in the 150's. Haven't seen this weight in 11 years. :happy:

Good morning all! A very cold morning here in Louisville. I thought about going for a walk this morning, well a thought was as far as it got. This time a year I feel so bad for my hubby. He works outside. I don't know how he does it. I can not stand outside for more than a few minutes without nearly freezing to death. I…

Hi all! Happy late Thanksgiving. Didn't get the chance to check-in until today. Did weigh-in on turkey day and I am down another lb this week. I tried to control myself on Thanksgiving but did taste a little of this and that. Have to buy a new scale before weigh-in next week. I was going to weigh myself this morning to see…

Me again! :smile: I found this info on webMD that I thought may be helpful to you. Hope this helps www.webmd.com/diet/weight-loss-plateau ~Tonya

It is normal to hit a wall every now and then. Just keep doing what your doing and it will come off. I know it makes it hard to stay motivated when the scale is frozen, but you have to push through this plateau and more will come off. Try taking your measurments. Although the scale isn't moving, chances are your…

1 lb lost this week. I am okay with that considering the great number I pulled last week. Maggie I am sure you are going to get a good number soon. All that exercise will start to show really soon. Have you been taking your measurments? Although you are not seeing it on the scale your measurments are probably going down.…

Wow! Congrats to you Tanya. :flowerforyou: 135 is my goal. I can't wait till I get that moment on the scale.

Happy Friday all! :flowerforyou: How is everyone doing today? Doing okay here. Its sunny and 66 here in Louisville. Not bad for the middle of November. Nice day to get the kids out of the house and go for a walk. Hope everyone has a great weekend. :smile:

Me again! I am sorry for double post but I just realized something. I have lost 101 lbs. OMG :drinker:

Well I am not sure how I did it this week. I was up 1 last week and down 5 this week. I would consider it 4 since I gained last week but even still. I haven't seen a number like that in a while. :happy: BTW My neice is doing a little better today. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers everyone.
