svesmenja, Sorry you had such a bad night. When sleep is off, everything is off. I was up at 3 am yesterday morning and took a tylenol PM at around 4- Normally doesn't affect me but I was dragging the entire day yesterday and it was no fun. The good news is you'll be tired tonight! As I noted, we've had some good news…

Hi everyone. End of Day 6 here. Ended up somewhere between 169.8-170.2 today- indecisive scale :) Had a Christening today and were the godparents- managed not to go too far over calories including two glasses of wine. Off to bed, will log in weight tomorrow morning.

sexyRN, Thanks so much! We are very excited :)

Hi everyone, Logging in with some fabulous news. My husband, who has been out of work since last October, was hired for a new job yesterday! I'm really at a loss to describe how I'm feeling- it is certainly good, but we've been struggling for so long, I have to say it is hard to believe. We're both kind of in a state of…

Good Morning everyone, Yesterday was successful despite some challenges. I went out for drinks/ food which normally puts me way over- But I sped home early and got a run/walk in and ate and drank like a lady. One and a half beer and sushi. There was sesame oil in my calamari salad which leads me to believe there are more…

^^^^er,...^^^ (sorry, repost!)

This group is giving off good karma, I swear! I too am feeling great today. Happy to report a one lb loss and an entrance to the 160s! Thrilled beyond measure. Svesamenja, Those super gliders are insanely cute - I will definitely be losing some work time to google images of them today:). Kate, 5 miles part of which up…

Below is my all time favorite tuna salad. It hits all my cravings- I feel sated very quickly since it's so flavorful. I hope others enjoy as much as I do! I found it on SmittenKitchen.com (I've learned that spending extra on good balsamic vinegar and good olive oil is always worth it, especially in the case of salads)…

HI everyone, Went for a run/walk this morning in the air that felt like soup. I feel so warm, sweaty, great right now. Have decided to make planks part of my every day. Today, I mustered 2 sets of 30 seconds. Will work my way up to a minute. I did end up weighing myself this morning, and while I'm glad I did (went down a…

I felt like I was in control of my eating today. I made good choices and am going to bed without rumination for a change, which is nice. I intend to lose 5 lbs in the next four weeks. I've given up on the every day weighing, will do so on Sundays as suggested. My focus eating real food without a lot of sugar. I am…

I hear you- I dreaded doing this but it's important for me to face. My waist is 38.3 inches and hips 42"... so, .9 something ratio.

Hi Everyone, doing my measurements quickly before work! Weight: 172.2 Waist: 38.3" Hip: 42" Ratio: .9 My focus is really on my diminishing waist size so will help keep my goal clear.

I faltered at the end of the last group (30 day challenge) so I am very pleased on my first day back to have a new group started by someone (Kate) who has a great understanding of the psychology of weight loss. My focus will be to avoid all or nothing thinking, to focus on accountability but also positivity and small…

I'm so happy you're starting this group, Kate. Headed to work, but will post measurements, tonight! Have a great day all.

How do you listen to podcasts on runkeeper? I only see the "all music" choice?

I downloaded app, but the only option is to listen to "All music", no option to choose a specific playlist OR podcast.

I don't wear a chip, I believe it uses the GPS in my iphone. The GPS isn't great, but I love everything else about it. Lance Armstrong congratulates me on runs and it is said how much it lifts my mood! Does runkeeper have that? Do you listen to podcasts?

LOL, I totally feel you on the espresso. Nothing is worse then realizing you forgot to "take care of things". It probably is dehydration that gets me. It's always dehydration, isn't it? Dehydration is the worst.

Thank you much! You've come a long way yourself!! Well done!

I should have made myself clearer. I'm not opposed to exercise. I'm just not focusing on a regimen right now. I will continue to exercise. THE KEY IS, I'm not going to fool myself into thinking it's going to save me from all the calories I've eaten.

EXACTLY- "false sense of security that triggers eating", so well said! Basically, I'm not ready for an exercise regimen yet- basically because I'm way better at exercising than I am eating!!! I can run 3-5 miles but I can't control how I eat after it- not yet at least. If I start a running routine again without getting my…

LOVE your ticker- Shut up, work hard, be patient! My new mantra!! Makes me laugh and rings so true at same time! That's a good tip- I like the creative goals. More manageable, but still important. Thanks!

Like I said, it's hard to implement a new diet and a new exercise routine all at once. I run every so often, but I don't make it my focus. I make my diet my focus, and MOVING more my focus. This way, I get something out of the "exercise"... ie, a clean floor or vacuumed rug... and it doesn't feel like such an overhaul.…

500 calories! Wow, I knew you lost with BF, but had no idea it was that much.

I'd like to Join! Please contact me when starting!

Thanks guys, it's not really about the bathing suit, though thanks for reminding me about Target (always love Targay). I have a tankini, but again, it's not really about the suit. I'm just literally feeling so uncomfortable in my own skin, and am feeling sad. Tomorrow it will be motiviation and I'll get over it, but right…

I ran out of olive oil and forgot I have that in the back of the cabinet. Good to know the nutritional facts, thought it might be worse for for you than olive oil. And yes, it's delicious, also in vinaigrett/ salad. Thanks!

Just watch the carbs!! And eat lots of plants!

Hey, my profile pic shows what just 5 lbs of fat looks like. You lost 4 of those!!!! That is AWESOME!!!
