merryann, thanks for the encouragement.....it has to be just a day at a time. Some progress is better than none. This website has been a godsend.

I just bought the scale.............actually I am going to be able to handle it. you know I am not perfect the number doesn't really matter changing does

thanks for the advice I will get a new scale monday.........hate to cause I am afraid bud what the hell ...I need to get real

fear is about to consume me................I have to buy a new scale............mfp blogs tell me to hang on cause it will probably make me lots heavier then the old one I have. I am going for the digital one. My goodness............I can't believe how scared I am to get in the car and get one..............makes me want to…

Thaks for the kind words. Hate to blame the scale but it is old........not digital........floors aren't level and I really hadn't been taking my time when I step on alos need to locate my glasses! Next pay check I think I might get a digital. The dial was really hard to keep on 0:smile: I don't need to cheat at this point…

????? I weighed myself last night, usually do it in the morning- gained 4 pounds I am due for weigh in monday morning guess I will step it up today but does your weight fluctuate that much? I guess I will watch the salt.

ok fellow foodies:smile: It is sunday a classic day for me to overeat........I challenge myself to remember what my dream is "to eat to live" like "normal " people:smile: :smile: Oh baby it is going to be a long day 20 degrees, housework to get done, and home alone!!!!:sad: I can do it:flowerforyou:

another pretty good day. alittle out of control but kept myself in line and didn't let the food take total control. Keepiing busy seems to help me with the food. I never eat in the car which is a help when I have to go for a ride to get away from the frig. :laugh:

fawn I don't do phony sugar either. I just eat alot less of anything that has it and stay away from soda . The water is my new favoriet drink with ice and a lemon. I just gave the kids the smallest icecream cones I have ever seen! They are called kids size and hold about one tablespoon of icecream or frozen yogart. Glad to…

I hope as newbies we can do it also! your loss so far is a good start. I get back on the scales sunday morning. I should be losing at least I hope so. Bitter cold here........last night I went back to my school to walk inside with the kids and the dog.

:smile: Hang in there sunshine we all do it from time to time. at least you posted and your not quitting! I hate it when I seem to sabatoge my progress! Thank god I can tell you guys and let go of the guilt that makes me feel like eatting all the more. I have my grandchildren here today so I will try to be…

:flowerforyou: welcome marisol, What sort of things is on the list? I have never been to a meeting. Richie

Mums:flowerforyou: Thanks for sharing , if you can do it so can I:smile:

Thanks to all who posted encouraging words:smile: If we get that storm in the northeast I should get some real exercise! drinking my water :drinker: messed up on the sweets today but will remember the team spirit and fight off the foodies knowing I have the Batman Black Team behind me:love: Richie

mary, Welcome we are all in the same boat. I hope getting to be honest about your victorious moments with food and when your defeats will help you. It sure has me. Some things you can't share with the people in your home. Weight is such a personal issue. Richie

welcome Jackie , BDL and Kelly, This site has helped me alot . When I feel out of control I sit read the posts and try to push back the void. It is a bumpy ride but the support I get here makes it easier not to keep gaining. :drinker: :smile: :smile:

:frown: gained two not sure how guess I need to step up on the walking. I will not let this set back defeat me:brokenheart: just kidding . Today is mine to control . Hugs to all Richie

:love: you will sunshine! I almost went on a binge today that is a big issue for me. When I lose weight it makes me want to fall off the wagon and lose control...............self fulfilling prophecy ........fear of success? Not sure what motivates this weird reaction. I didn't binge I am posting, washing my hair and…

:laugh: almost went into binge mode but thanks to batmans advice I drank some water .:drinker:

:flowerforyou: It did how about that so much movement over the hoidays I must have just burned more calories. Thanks for keeping an eye on things.

Hi, I would also like to join in . I weigh 160 . I promise to drink my water and try my best to stay away from the goodies. Richie

good idea sunshine .

Hello to Crystal and Britt. :smile: Fell off the wagon yesterday over ate::sad: I did not log in my food didn't measure the ice cream just ate it from the container:explode: I hate it when I can't get myself undercontrol. Okay..........enough of the pity party.....I need to do what needs to be done to be healthy today. I…

Another day........lots of temptation but I did pretty good. tough stuff having that refrigerator in the same house.......anyhow I will take it one second at a time.............thanks cherry!

No damage done on vacation. actually lost. I guess being busy was the key. I didn't think about food and of course the refrigerator wasn't available so I wasn't hearing it's big voice telling me to eat! LOL Anyhow good luck to all of you today.

I am back from vacation! I didn't binge but I also did not stay on the diet. I am not feeling guilty because I did pretty good with portion control. Tomorrow morining I wil weigh myself, I know I gained but not sure how much. I missed your posts and encouragement. 2010 should bring better health for all of us if we stick…

Happy Holidays to my support group.............I am off until the new year. I hope I can keep the spirit of your helpful posts with me. I plan to drink my water everyday I am not in flight and eat my extra vegigies. Peace to all.

I just need to brag to anyone out there! I made it through the yummy food trays today only taking one small piece of a choclate covered peanut concoction, no I did not eat the whole thing this time remembering my sugar cookie episode and the binge I had this weekend. Yea !!! for me!!!! baby steps........baby steps

not such a great weekend as far as control went. Some one gave me pumpernickel bread and dip.......yup you guessed it I ate and ate and ate..................Today is another day. I will leave yesterday behind. Good Luck to Kelynn, Thyroid is such a tricky gland. Anyone up for another week of the water challenge?
