I maintained! I am happy that I didn't gain. This week I vow to stick with it. Well for that matter for the next three weeks, I plan to really focus on my diet!

Today is my weigh in day.... haven't done the deed yet. I am dreading it, because this started out a good week and ended up just sad really. But I feel recommitted today! So I will report back, but I am sure I am looking at a maintain if I am lucky and and a gain if not. :( How is everyone else doing?!

Great! Yeah lets just post our results here. :)

I am more salty and crunchy! LOL! I love chips, anything mexican, italian..... What were we talking about again?! LOL! The one good thing I have done is cut out soda, I was really addicted to it and I knew that wasn't good, even if it was diet.

I think you are truly amazing for surviving the week intact! I would have been an emotional wreck and I am a terrible emotional eater so it would not have been pretty. I don't have any excuse for falling off the wagon this past weekend, but I did nonetheless. I told myself I would get back on track Monday morning and here…

I haven't heard of either of those websites, thank you for sharing!

You know the thing about baby steps, sometimes you try to go faster than you are capable of and you stumble and fall. That's what I keep doing anyway.

I am a stress eater too.... I don't know how you work on that. I know the experts say you have to replace one habit with another or the old habit will just come back, so I guess I have to figure out what to replace with eating when I am stressed. Hmm..... I like the idea of going for a walk instead, but that isn't always…

Normally I don't go so long between meals, it was a combination of the kids eating early... and they get upset if I don't eat with them so I did, and not having any low cal snacks in the home. Lesson learned! Haha! I was watching a show tonight on the benefits of raw veggies and I have decided to stock up and make them a…

Natasha that is too funny, I have started doing the same thing! My daughter (9mos) loves it too!!

No we didn't have any in the house, grocery shopping tonight! I did make it though, I just had to keep my mind busy, and the funny thing.... by the time it was time for dinner I wasn't even that hungry anymore! Haha! Go figure!

Thanks! I am really trying! I have basically told myself that eating before dinner is not an option. :)

I don't usually plan out my meals ahead of time but I would really like to start doing that! I don't eat any meat other than chicken so I will be having a lot of chicken meals. My lunches lately have been mostly PB&J which I know isn't the best bang for my buck..... but it's quick and easy and what the kids are eating…

3500! I am jealous! haha! My WIN for the weekend was that we didn't order out for food at all this weekend!! That is a huge victory for us!! :)

Doingitforjames (Is that what you want to be called?) If my friend Mr. Google is accurate you lost 1.3 pounds this week, that is fantastic!!! Especially with such a hard week coming up. I am so so very sorry for you loss. I have been through cancer myself and I still could never imagine how horrible it would be if it was…

Oh don't get me started on husbands who can eat anything and not gain weight. Or more so husbands who decide to "go on a diet" and hardly change their eating habits at all and drop weight like nobodys business! Sooooo frustrating!!

Well I started out the day full of energy and now I am really beginning to drag. My goal today is to stay on plan. Weekends are terrible for me staying on plan!! I had planned a busy day with the kiddos but it's very cold and rainy today and I decided against taking them out sooo.... we are just hanging out at home today.…

You know this thread is making me pretty depressed seeing the big fat 0 on my ticker. I had lost close to 20 before going off the wagon and gaining it all back. ::sigh:: :wink: Just wanted to bump the thread for the afternoon peeps!!! :smile:

Seriously! I had eggs again for breakfast this morning and it's Noon and I am not even hungry for lunch yet, and I have been up since 7am! I think we might be onto something! :)

Yay so glad to have everyone!!!

I have never tried salsa with my eggs. I have heard of it before but I just can't imagine the two things together. I will have to give it a try one of these days.

We'd love to have you!! This group is for anyone who is looking for a little more support along the way!! Differences is what makes us great! The baby steps approach is so simple it's genius! (And of course not something I made up) I mean anyone can lose a pound right? Five pounds? Not that hard! So you just focus on that,…

Please join us! Our common ground is that we all need to lose weight, and we all recognize that having a little support along the way will make it that much easier to meet our goals!!

Jump right in Jessica, we are glad you joined us! :) Also feel free to add me as a friend if you like! :)

Oh that is a temptation!! Husbands.... they're the devil, Haha! My husband is usually guilty of offering to pick-up Pizza on the way home. Oy! Way to go on staying on plan!! My Win for the day I would say was working out when I REALLY didn't want to! :happy:

Hey Natasha I have a 9 month old daughter!! (And two boys ages 3 and 4) I have been saying I am going to lose this weight since she was 3 weeks old. I did lose 16 pounds but recently put it all back on. Blah! So yea, I am glad you joined us!!

You know he did! LOL! :laugh: My Mom was always overweight when I was growing up. She was always dieting but never lost weight. Now she is stick thin, but in an unhealthy way. She practically doesn't eat. It's sad. I want to lose weight the healthy way, and keep it off.

My last bump for this thread today I swear! :wink: .... but watch out for the 30 bumps it gets tomorrow! Ha! -- kidding.
