@joan6630 That's so sweet of you to make a quilt for your daughter's friend. I'm sure she'll love that you're thinking of her and will treasure it.

" I'm doing what is best for myself and my family. " Keep it simple. Just because someone asks a question doesn't mean you have to answer. Or tell them the information is classified and if you tell them, you have to kill them.

I'm in a transformer and love having something long term. I do better with slow and steady.

I don't, but my older brother does so I'm familiar with the challenges it presents. I would be happy to be your friend if you'd like.

Yesterday: 1. Stick with my pre-logged food to make up for yesterday. :( hubby called after work so we went out for dinner. Still was close to maintenance. 2. Don't buy junk at the grocery store. :) stuck with the list 3. 5000 steps. :neutral: 4992 close enough right? 4. Get that laundry done. :) finally! 5. Start reading…

I applied the other day and am not so patiently waiting for the 26th!

Grocery shopping and a toddler birthday party are definitely not fascinating. Nor is accounting homework as evidenced by me almost falling asleep reading for it. I'd rather be perusing the forums, but that gosh dang laundry is dry and won't told itself yet.

Yesterday: 1. Stay on the food plan. You've done it all week so there's no reason to quit now. :( ended up eating about 500 calories over. At least I stayed within maintenance! 2. Take some time to relax this evening after a busy day of work and this stupid exam. :) 3. Do the gosh dang laundry that you should have done…

Yay for friends with similar goals! I was actively tracking and losing right before I got pregnant. I gained 54 pounds and lost about 30 of it right off the bat (thank you huge child and other baby related things). Since then, I've been pretty stuck in the 170s. He's 2 now so I don't have an excuse anymore. I wish I had…

Yesterday: 1. Stick with plan and exercise enough to get it back in the green. :) ended up with 179 calories extra 2. 5000 steps. :) 5285 3. Don't be late for daycare dropoff because you procrastinate in the mornings. :) we were actually early! 4. Get the house cleaned up for your 11:30 meeting. :) and it smelled like…

Overall, 33.9 is the plan, but I'll adjust accordingly once I get around there depending on how I feel. I'm at 173.9 and am working towards 140. I break everything down into 5 pound increments and celebrate each time I get into a new 5 pound range with a treat for myself. Once I get under 170, I get to register for a 5k. :)

Yesterday: 1. Stick with my pre-logged food. :) had to add a snack because I was a little too good and had too many calories left. 2. Get through my water cup 3 times. :) 4 times! 3. Get 5000 steps in. We're having lunch at the park today so that should help. :) 6500! Today: 1. Stick with plan and exercise enough to get it…

I would back out and go with something more realistic. 4 pounds per week is too much. If you like the idea of money as a motivator, look into DietBet. I'm in a 6 month one that has a goal of 10% which for me is less than 20 pounds and totally doable.
