  • 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…
