plateau? or am I just a failure?
I am feeling so depressed today because the scale told me a much higher number than I'd hoped. I've been hovering around the area of 165 for the past month- 2 months. The best I've seen on the scale is 162 a coupla weeks ago, but it's just been bouncing around 163, 164, 165... and then today, 167!! I'm following the MFP…

Need support/encouragement today (10/10)
We are hosting a cookout/party today for our church and I'm very nervous. Last night, I didn't eat dinner because I knew I was going to be preparing different snacks and that I'd need to sample them (you, know, to make sure they taste ok, right? :wink: ) Well, I kinda lost control, sampling the meats and cheeses and…

Oh man oh man, I feel so bad.... Last night, I went out to eat with my husband to a new restraunt.

One thing that has helped is that we've found low-calorie alternatives to the foods we like (like, breakfast burritos, for example. We substitute egg beaters, fat…

What's your preschoolers favorite TV show?

My 2-year old LOVES to watch Cailliou (however you spell it) and my husband and I make fun of that little kid (Cailliou - not our son) every time it's on. We think he is such a kiss-up! :laugh: What shows do your…

Plateau: you had it coming!
After three weeks where I weighed 173, then 172, then back UP to 173 (AUGH!!!), I stepped on the scale today and was down to 169!!! Wooohoo! Out of the 170's! I can't believe it! By the way, after the 3rd week of weighing 172/173, I did a couple of things differently: (1) I went jogging on two different occassions, and (2)…

What's your reward?
If I can reach my goal weight of 155 (17 pounds to go, woot!), my husband is going to take me back to the Dominican Republic where we had our honeymoon :love: :laugh: :love:

I've been working on losing weight for 4 months and I've lost 40 pounds. I did this by…
