I should be ashamed of some of my entries over the weekend! We're all back on board with you, now! :)

I was so very bad this weekend. I had actually been down a bit more in the earlier part of the week, but all my boozing set me back (and made me lazy). I need to cut that crap out! That's the good thing about life..today's a brand new chance to start fresh! :) 4/21: 201 4/28: 197 5/5: 195 5/12: 193.5 5/19: 193 5/26: 192

I will push myself to do two sets of ten lunges after my cardio routine tonight at the gym (might not sound like much, but that's alot for me..I can barely do five, if I'm keeping good form!).

My committment today is just getting my butt to the gym. Yesterday I committed to do an hour, but my bum ankle/heel is getting in the way of me pushing myself as hard as I'd like. I did 30 minutes (better than nothing) yesterday. Today, I just want to get there, rather than allowing myself this excuse. I'll push myself to…

I'm going to get home from work, get dinner cooked and get my butt to the gym by about 7:30pm. Putting in at least an hour of cardio today. No more slacking from me! :)

With my lack of self control, free drinks and a trip to a casino buffet (WTF was I thinking?!) from Wednesday - Saturday, it's amazing I didn't gain 5lbs! I still got in a few work outs and I think that helped counter some of the damage I was trying to do to myself... I'm down only .5lb since last week. 8.5lbs since…

I will get an hour of cardio in at the gym. Yesterday I quit at 45 mins, because I just wasn't feeling it. I'm not giving up today, no matter what! :)

Recorded my stats yesterday, this has just been my first chance to post! 1.5lbs down last week! 8lbs since starting with the group! 4/21: 201 4/28: 197 5/5: 195 5/12: 193.5 Still shrinking (only posting those that changed)- Bust: 46 Waist: 36.5 Thigh: 25 Calf: 16 Upper arm: 13.5 Forearm: 10.25 Neck: 13 :)

- Pineapple and cottage cheese - Hummus with Flax Snax instead of crackers/chips (Flax Snax “Spicy” variety, which actually aren’t spicy, just really yummy, can be found at Whole Foods). - Lettuce wraps...really endless variety! (I like left over chicken, sliced thin with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and a drizzle of…

Going to hit the gym extra hard today when I get off of work to make up for missing yesterday. Going out to lunch today (Greek - yum!) and I vow to skip my all-time favorite appitizer, spinach pies!

1. Your Current Weight (as of this morning): 195.6 (up .6 since Sunday) 2. The # of total lbs you are down since you started this group: 5.4 3. The hardest part so far: - not drinking when going out (it definitely makes me stall out, or worse, gain!) - trying not to obsess over the # on the scale - not coming up with…

I went a little crazy today for Cinco de Mayo (my diary is open..I ordered sensibly, but ended up eating chips and finishing my bf's carne asada! lol). Then I took a three hour tequila induced nap. However, I'm feeling quite refreshed now. I'm going to hydrate and hit the gym within the next hour!

2lbs down! 4/21: 201 4/28: 197 5/5: 195 Shrinking a little also (only posting those that changed)- Bust: 47 Waist: 37 Hips: 47 Thigh: 25.5 Calf: 16.5 :)

Yesterday we had a fire drill at work and I walked down 22 flights of stairs. Needless to say, I felt that was the perfect excuse to do NOTHING last night...not good! Today, I'm so sore I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. BUT, I'm going to force myself to go to the gym after work and at least do 30 minutes of…

I typically crave chocolate more than "something sweet". I go for super dark to get all the chocolately goodness for the least amount of calories/carbs. My favorite can be found at Whole Foods - it's Endangered Speices 88% cocoa... I break off one little squre and make it last over a few bites. Mmmm..so good :)

My goal today is to get in a bit of extra strenght training. I'm going to an extra set of leg and arm sets at the gym (after my cardio work out) and do AT LEAST 10 burpees when I get home. (I can't do those in public at this point! Someone might call 911...) lol Wish me luck! :)

Thanks for the info LB!

Not giving advice, because I remain torn... Today is the first day that I'm actually eating 1,200 calories - I feel like I've been eating all day and I'm STUFFED. I still have a snack and dinner to get through to meet the 1,200 cal mark. I do not intend on eating a single thing after I work out, and from what I understand,…

My goal today is to eat all of my calories. I still refuse to eat back calories burned from exercise! However, the last few days, I've been way under my calorie goal (and not hungry) even before working out. From everything I'm reading, this is setting myself up for failure. SO, I've logged (and packed to bring to work…

My challenge for today will be to take the stairs in my building throughout the day (except leaving, since I work on 22nd floor!). Our company has floors up to 10 stories above mine, and one below, so I'll make the elevator off limits to myself when running between floors today.

Whew - done. I did 50 extra for good measure. Those seem effective lol...

My commitment today is to not eat past 7:00pm. I'm going to eat dinner as soon as I get home, cook dinner for my boyfriend (and my lunch tomorrow) then hit the gym. Over the weekend, time got away from me a bit and I ate dinner at 7:30 last night and caved and had a healthy snack at 8pm on Saturday night. NO MORE OF THAT!…

Down 4lbs in a week! Weight: 197 Bust: 48 Waist: 38 Hips: 48 Thigh: 26 Calf: 17 Neck: 13.5 Upper arm: 14 Forearm: 10.75

When you eat out, immediately ask for a box when your meal comes (or ask the kitchen to box half). It helps me to take half or more of the food off my plate before I let my eyes and stomach even start thinking about taking it all in!! Also a trick my grandma used to do - if you know you're done and you're not taking the…

I'm looking forward to it. I just wish I would have taken my measurements last Sunday, because I thnk I'm already noticing a difference. I'll have measurements this week! Everyone have a great weekend! Be healthy and wise!!

I worked out for an hour on the elliptical and walked for about 15 mins on the treadmill to cool down. I did go out with all my friends and drank 2 bottled waters only! I did not have any midnight snacks when I got home! :)

I should probably put a disclaimer on all my recipes - I am from Louisiana and I do not cook with recipes! This is my best recollection of how I make the meal. Some ingredients, I will not be able to pin-point an amount you should use, so use your best judgment and adjust to your own tastes. All of these “recipes” are…

Buffalo Turkey Burgers and Zucchini Fries This is "man's meal" for all you hungry people out there - my boyfriend loves it! Burgers: - 1 lb lean ground turkey - 1 celery stalk, finely chopped - 1 carrot, grated (optional, but helps keep them moist and “orange-ish” like you expect buffalo things to be) - 1 small onion,…

I'm heading to the gym as soon as I get off of work, and I'm going to put in at least one hour before going out tonight. And, I'm super pumped up for my work out because I bought the most comfy running shoes yesterday! I COMMIT, VOW, SWEAR to all of you that I will not have one sip of booze tonight! :) I <3 MFP for making…
