Thanks for getting me back in gear! I have been logging but conventiently forgot to log things as I went--so I know I am missing lots of calories that way. This was my first Thanksgiving gluten free so I splurged on some goodies that I don't usually make or have like stuffing and a dessert that was specifically gf. Did my…

Love it too! I really am challenged to get out of my normal zone :)

Luckily for me my kids came home from their festival with a bucket full of candy and sat in our driveway and gave it all away. I have discovered that if a bag of candy is in my house but unopened I can leave it alone but if it is open and has Reese's peanut butter cups...well let's just say none of our tricker treaters got…

I love this quote! Every time I go to work out my mind says you can do this but my body doesn't want to! Especially lately I have been tricking myself--I tell myself o.k. I will only do a light work out for thirty minutes, thirty minutes is better than nothing. Then I get in there and I usually last 45min to an hour and…

I'd love to keep going! I passed up a cookie today because I weigh in tomorrow :) I am doing the challenges and love reading the board!

Week 3--here I come! I didn't lose any weight this last week but I know why and I am up 1.2 pounds--darn lower sodium fritos! You are not allowed in my house any longer! Since I do the grocery shopping that should be easy, right?! I am back on track and I love the challenges! Got 30 minutes of cardio in this morning and…

I stepped on the scale mentally preparing myself to have maintained this week and just did a happy dance around my house because I lost this week!! Yay! I am thankful for this challenge as it has focused me. Packed my lunch for today, planned out my other meals and my workout. Watch out week 2 here I come!

Good morning, all! I can't believe how much doing this challenge has already helped me focus. I have been drinking my 8-10 cups of water each day--probably for the first time in my life. Which means I have kicked my 6 diet sodas a day habit!! Woo hoo! Getting out of my comfort zone and attending a group exercise class for…

I do the same thing! It is a vicious cycle of thinking...instead I am trying to retrain myself to weigh twice a week and no matter what it says if I have been following the program I refuse to let those numbers define me, well that's what I tell myself until the next time I weigh :) Hang in there--we are our toughest…

This is my first challenge and I am loving having the extra motivation! I struggle with squeezing in exercise vs. having time with the kids so this weekend I had them do it with me! While it may not be as intense as when I am by myself there is something great about trying to jog and keep up with my kids bike. Did over an…

I would love to join! I weighed 227 on Friday. I really would like to be out of the 220's by Halloween, looking for the teens! I logged all my food yesterday (even the bad for me fair food), but struggled with plain water. Time to give up ice tea and diet dr. pepper! Thanks for organizing.

Gluten intolerance can cause many different symptoms and it is different per person. Three people in my family (myself, my grandmother and my father) have various degrees. If I eat gluten I am sluggish, often have digestive problems and bloating and have migraines. I had thyroid problems which tie in with the other auto…
