There is another thread here (somewhere) that is about this very subject. My opinion is its probably not good to take a whole day off..its better to take one meal off instead. that way you limit the damage you can do, whereas taking a whole day can sabotage all the hard work youve done all week. You might also end up…

Havent weighted myself this week but hoping for at least 2lb lost..Staying below my calorie limit and keeping my journal(which really helps) Doing great with not snacking at night. Im more excited about that than anything else!:smile:

i have fruit bowl in the morning if im especially hungry ill add a multigrain frozen waffle and 2 tsp of peanut butter.

Thanks for the tips for helping with my head trip..thats the most important part Heidi!

Well, look at the bright side at least you overdid it in the morning so you have time to get rid of some of the excess, go out for an extra long walk, or put on a favorite cd and dance to it for 15-20 minutes. Now that should wipe out a few hundred calories and give you back some of the leeway you lost.:flowerforyou:

I am a Starbucks grrl forever and enjoy having a latte (without syrups) quite often but of late Ive switched to tea because of the calorie load. One latte is around 160 calories unless its skinny at around 130 in calories. Even if you use those non dairy creamers depeinding on how much you put in you can waste a lot of…

Heidi-Thanks for the encouragement -Ive got to do something so I'm going to try going to gym in evening since its a tiny bit warmer and at least Ive been up all day, im going to go after i eat a bit of dinner..in a way it might actually help me by keeping me away from food in the evening..evenings are always difficult for…

Rebel..I would have been happy to hear that too..lol..I hope everyone is feeling successful today. I really have to get my butt in gear and start exercising but i find im too tired in the morning and the evenings are even worse..Anyone have any ideas how to deal with being so sleepy? Don't say go to bed early as I can…

Wow, great exercise! I havent done much exercise yet and i know thats not good:frown: ok so, im getting off my butt and making a commitment to do some kind of exercise 3 times a week..wish me luck:huh: ps. thanks for the encouragement! :smile:

A great accomplishment Kid! I'm hoping I can claim the same too! Regarding New Moon I hear it may be out as soon as March. :smile: Let's keep our fingers crossed:love:

Hi Lilmom im a little hungry too just had a salad for lunch which isnt enough for me..good luck on staying under your limit! evenings are a little dangerous for me :ohwell:

Bork i'm just jamming along..and found out i lost 2.5lbs last week..i have a long way to go but this is a great start:smile:

Isabella thats great news! Congratulations!

Hi Ashley, Welcome to Eclipse! Jacob is awesome and he & Bella really heat up the screen in Eclipse! Can't wait:flowerforyou: O have a great tip for everyone..i don't like plain brown rice that much, but "brown basmati" is amazing!! I even made fried rice with it the next day and it was truly good! Today is...good…

Just checking in..Doing ok today..I have a general plan im using and staying under my calorie limit so I feel pretty good even though I dont have a specific plan..I think at some point I might change that up because i hear your body gets use to a certain way of eating and when it does your weightloss will slow down..so i…

Carol..I can so relate to your experience. Back pain can stop you in your tracks and makes you slow way down and become very sedentary and the pounds creep on even though we are not really eating a huge amount..of course the depression that often happens when we have to live our life on the sidelines, can make us overeat.…

Of Course! Welcome to Twilight thread!:smile:

Good Job Pam!! Why shouldnt you come on here and brag?? It's awesome inspiration for the rest of us. Thanks!:flowerforyou:

Sorry for your luck Laurel, I've never had that trouble but hopefully someone not as technically challenged as i am can help you:flowerforyou:

Shoveling is excellent exercise but glad youre home safe & warm! The author of Twilight has worked so hard, I can't believe someone leaked parts of Midnight Sun, people can be so mean. :sad:

Younger_at_fifty thanks so much for the advise and encouragement! I suppose I could be a lot worse off but losing this weight is probably the most extreme challenge I've had in a very long time..I guess I've had it easy the past 10 years, hence lots of weight gain and I kept telling myself Id get around to losng it:frown:…

Welcome to Twilight..Are you on Team Jacob or Edward??? We are all waiting for Eclipse and a new slimmer shape..This is going to be so AWESOME!:flowerforyou: :love: :smile:

Woohoo msh! Good Job! Swimming is awesome exercise! Kettlenetics was fun too Woosh! What a workout:heart:

I'm not sure when we weigh in but that would be good to know. Today I start my home exercise program "Kettlenetics" Today has been good so far. I think I will be able to stay within my calorie count and I havent eaten any sugar today! Usually I can't go a day without it so 4 days without it is a milestone I havent…

Im definitely having the same issue, so i thought instead of going to gym i would do some exercising with my kettlenetics program that i got months ago but told myself i was too busy to do..this looks like fun and seems doable ..ill fyi everyone after i use it a few times.:smile:
