Exercise? Yes. 60 minute spin class. And does 60+ minutes sanding cabinet doors count, too?? :) Calories? Yes. Tracking? Yes.

Hi ladies, As I'm moving into maintenance, I'm not going to be logging into MFP as often, so I'm going to step back and let the two of you take over this thread. Good luck!! :smile:

Great job, EmmieBaby!! March 21 Yes, yes and no.

March 19 - yes, yes, and yes March 20 - yes, yes, and yes I am so excited that I hit my goal weight this morning!! When I started, I wasn't sure that I'd ever be able to do it. And now I'm thinking I might try to go 3-4 pound lower. :smiley:

March 18 Yes, yes, and no.

Thank you for starting the thread! I have been sick and have not done much of anything at all for the past week. :s Fortunately I stayed right around the weight level I was at before getting sick despite not tracking or worrying much about what I ate, so I'm not too far behind! Hopefully I'll get back on track with…

Bigroastdinner - feel better soon! March 9 Yes, yes, and yes March 10 Yes, yes, and yes Great couple of days!

Great job! March 8 Yes, yes, and no. I am having a hard time motivating myself to exercise lately. :-(

March 7 No, no, no Been sporadic about tracking, but I'm not going crazy with junk food, so I don't think I'm too far off base...

EmmieBaby -- glad to hear that you're feeling better! March 5 Yes, yes, no March 6 No, ?, yes Went to a friend's house, and it's always so hard to track calories, so I gave up on it. But, I had small portions and didn't eat much else for the rest of the day, so I should have been at least close to my calorie range.

EmmieBaby, sorry to hear that you've been sick. I hope that you're feeling better!! I was a little sporadic about logging yesterday, but I'm still losing weight, so that's a good sign. :smile: March 2 Yes, yes, yes March 3 Yes, yes, yes March 4 No, I think so?, No

This past week I have been so unmotivated. I must not be going too far off-track, though, because I'm still losing weight. But starting today (Monday), my goal is to get back on track. If I can lose about a pound per 10-day cycle, then I will be at my final goal weight! :smiley: March 1 No, no, and no

EmmieBaby - it looks amazing!! Feb. 27 No, no, and yes Feb. 28 No, no, and yes

You guys are amazing! I, on the other hand, have been a bit of a slacker this week. But, here goes: Feb. 23 Yes, yes, and yes. Feb. 24 Yes, yes, and no. Feb. 25 No, ?, and no. Feb. 26 No, ?, and no. The good news is that I weighed this morning, and I have lost some, so I can't have gone too far off-track. I wasn't stuffing…

Feb. 22 Yes, no, no (planned rest day). All in all, I don't feel too bad since I only went a little over, and it was a conscious decision that I really wanted those chips and cheese dip while watching a movie with DH. :) Back on track again today!

Feb. 21 Yes, yes, and no (planned rest day). We are one day closer to our goals!!

Great job, bigroastdinner and EmmieBaby! Feb. 20 Yes, yes, and yes. Really wanted a midnight snack but refrained. I just keep trying to think about getting closer to my goals.

Feb 19 Yes, yes, and yes Great job, krp and EmmieBaby! Lemurcat - how did your partial fast go? We aren't Catholic (Baptist, actually), so we don't keep certain fast days like Ash Wednesday. But I like to do religious fasts sometimes; although they can be really difficult for me since I love to eat, I almost always find…

Holidays are definitely good motivators! We are going on a trip in April with some friends, so I am really trying to step up my consistency in the next 2 months so that I can get down to my goal weight before we go. Not to mention, I will surely gain a few pounds on the trip, so I don't want to have any extra to lose! ;-)…

Feb. 16 - Yes, yes, and yes. Feb. 17 - Yes, yes, and yes. Finally starting to get some longer days here -- I saw a bit of pre-sunrise light when I woke up at 7:30. Can't wait for spring!!

Feb. 15 Yes, yes, and yes. Here's to a great week!!

EmmieBaby - Sounds like fun! I totally blew off my diet on Feb. 14. Not only is it Valentine's Day, but it's also DH's birthday. Our oldest and youngest daughters made him (and the rest of us) a special breakfast of eggs, bacon, and French toast. Then for dinner, we had make your own pizzas and chocolate birthday cake. :-)…

Feb. 13 Yes, yes, and yes Stressful day, and I was sooooo tempted to stress eat in the evening, but I didn't give in. :)

Great job making some creative choices to help you meet your goals, lemurcat! EmmieBaby - have you ever seen the Brittany Murphy movie "Ramen Girl"? I think of that every time you write about ramen. :-) Didn't make it to the gym this morning and was tempted to skip it, but I pushed through, so... Feb. 12 Yes, yes, and yes!

I love your happy breakfast!!

Hang in there, bigroastdinner! Amazing job, krp, 325_B21, and EmmieBaby!! Feb. 11 Yes, yes, and yes.

You guys are doing great and being consistent!! NikonPal - your food looks delicious. You might want to consider a career as a personal chef for people who are looking to lose weight. ;-) Feb. 10 Yes, yes, and yes.

Great job, everyone, esp. coopscoopc -- you should be proud! Feb. 9 -- Good day -- Yes, yes, and yes. Best of luck to everyone!

Feb. 8 No, no, and yes. Planning to get back on track tomorrow a.m. Good luck all!

EmmieBaby and krp -- great job sticking it out through the end of the week! I took a little break for the last couple of days. :p Back to work tomorrow!
