Thanks ladies on the well wishes for the date tonight. I'm pretty excited !! On another exciting note, just booked flights for me and Kiddo to make a long weekend in a few weeks down to see my best friend at her parents' house in Florida and spend 2 days at Disney!!!!! YAY!!

Yep, I have enough time in at work to go for an hour and a half :smile:

I think I might make it to the gym today!!!

Visit the Hungry Girl website. (She has numerous cookbooks too.) Make her 'knock off' dishes. Healthy but very similar to foods you'd eat at restaurants, like hot wings or taco bell. :smile: Or duct him to the chair and force feed him his veggies. :laugh:

Lorna, thinking of you!! When is the doctor's appointment? :flowerforyou:

Also, where is Cathy???? Wanted to see if anyone knew before I chased her down on Facebook.

Lauren, the best way for me to motivate myself is to support others. Not sure why that is but by pushing others and giving them support, it keeps me rolling along. I also get massive amounts of internal satisfaction and happiness from encouraging others :smile: Kristy, hope you are feeling better!!! Glad you found the…

Yay Beky!!!

Kristin, your dedication is so freakin' inspiring!!!

Lorna, when is the doctor's appointment sweetheart?

Lauren, I didn't even see your personal post when I posted last. I was just talking about the check in list. I thought about it and thought I sounded like Jillian and was worried I was being too pushy, then I saw your personal post! I have fallen off this thread a million times before. I've always come back. I love my…

Lauren, no gain is still a good thing!!! Push harder. You can do this!!!!

Great plan! Be a little eccentric if you need and take your own plate! Make it a smaller plate, like a salad plate, instead of a full sized dinner plate. You can do this!!!

If you are FORCED to take home the leftovers, give them to a friend, neighbor or coworker. Last resort, throw them away. I hate throwing away food but....

Hi Amy! Church directory pictures are a great motivator! eee! I know that feeling. You have plenty of time and the scale is moving. You are well on your way!!!

Com'on ladies! Nearing noon on the east coast!! Time to rise and shine and check in this week!!! (I'm almost chipper enough to be slapped!! :tongue:

Morning Vayax! Since you have now checked in for this week, I went ahead and moved you to the top portion of the list. That indicates you've checked in. Those at the bottom haven't checked in this week yet. :smile: Oh, I shoulda looked. MORNING VANESSA!!! :wink:

Morning Sixers!!! Copy, paste, add yourself to the top portion of the list and let's see those results. Gains happen, losses happen. Let's get on this so we can all be sexy vixens for Christmas!!

Aww, my dear ladies!!! First -- (((HUGS))) There is NO NEED TO WORRY. Remember - ONE SINGLE DAY OF BAD EATING WILL NOT MAKE YOU GAIN BACK EVERY POUND YOU'VE LOST! Let me tell you what I do. (And I don't consider myself 'skinny' by any means, but I have lost almost 50 lbs in the last 2 or 3 years.... slowly... but I've kept…

I was gonna post that link too :wink: Just happened upon it on msnbc.com!!!

Any takers to make the new post?

Oh honey!! Not a silly thing to complain about at all!! It's probably scarier than gaining weight without reason!! I'm glad you aren't letting the hubby give you silly sugary garbage. That isn't the answer, as you well know! I hope the doctor can give you the answers you need!!! That would worry me too :frown:

Izzy -- for me, letting go just happened. Well.... God broke me down in order to build my relationship with him. I thought I was in control. He showed me I was not. He enabled me to let go because in all actually, I had no other option. I was being crushed by my need to control my life. Now that I've let go (and trust He…
