Keep on, keeping it off
Hey, it's me, still hanging around and keeping at it. I feel like that old friend (who you no longer have anything in common with) but still shows up at your door, unwilling to let you go! Not really using this group for support anymore, but still plan to post my progress every few days just to show myself, and anyone else…

Still here and going strong!
Hey everyone (or should I say anyone?) I'm still hanging in here and feel like I'm doing alright. Was out of town all last week, eating out three meals a day, and still am down this week. Got my gym schedule going again, so that's good too. My new mini goal is to be down 166 by Christmas. I started with that goal a few…

Hello out there?!
Okay, I'm officially sad...am I the only one checking in here anymore? I realize we had dwindled, but this is just a shout out to see if there is anyone still hanging in here with this group. Hope so, just knowing you were all here in spirit has helped me stay focused the last couple of months. Wednesday is our usual weigh…

Truthful Thursday: Sept 13, 2012
Usually on Truthful Thursdays, I don't have too much to admit to, but this week has not been a typical one for me. Every single day since last Friday, I have had some special dinner or celebration that I have tried to squeeze into my calorie allotment. Honestly, I haven't done horrible, but I can see where I'm starting to…

Wise weekend
Very proud of myself today...went to a local arts and crafts festival and chose not to eat anything! I had had a good lunch to make sure I wouldn't be hungry, but planned to spurge on something (funnel cake, corn dog, kettle corn, dessert crepes, ice cream, etc.) there and then stop by the gym on the way home. Instead,…

8/5/2012 Weigh in Wednesday
I'll start this off today cause I'm proud! Down to 183.0! Actually hit that a few days ago but didn't have it creep away over the 3 day weekend. That's down 1.6 from this time last week! Anytime I lose more than a pound, the next week is usually a small gain or stays the same, so I'm mentally preparing myself for that as I…

9/4/2012 How was it over the weekend?
I did alright over the 3 day weekend, especially considering I went to a whole lot of family cookouts, birthday parties, and out to eat with friends and family. My daughter came home from college and I always want to fix big meals for her. I balanced my eating well but didn't get in any exercise. Finally made it into the…

How was everyone's weekend?
I got to spend some time with some great people, tried out a few new recipes, stayed in my calorie range, and did some type of exercise every day. Also fit into a pair of shorts that hadn't seen the light of day in a LONG time! Pretty cool stuff!

8/17/2012 Fantastic Friday
One of the most fantastic things about myself is my determination. Once I wrap my head around something, I can usually take it on. The hardest thing about this whole weight loss thing is that it took way too long to determine that I was worth the time and effort that it takes. I mean, I knew I was worth it in my head, but…

Tasty Tuesday: August 14, 2012
I've found the best way for me to stay committed on this journey is to eat a large variety of foods. If I'm eating the same thing all the time, I feel so deprived (even if it's something I love). I enjoy cooking and baking, so I'm constantly churning thru sites for new recipes or ideas. I've been using the fish cooking…

Tasty Tuesday: August 7, 2012
I have been trying harder to eat clean, but find when it comes to snacking, I still want my processed food! I'm doing so much better overall that I don't beat myself up over it...yet. (one day at a time!) Here's one of my go to snacks when I want something sweet. Any favorite type of low cal yogurt - I like Kroger brand…

8/4/12: Weekend Strategies
Last weekend I posted about how I had two big parties to attend and how easy it is for me to lose focus on my goals when tempted with grazing and a little extra drinking. This weekend it is the exact opposite...no big plans, just hanging out at the house relaxing, which offers its own struggles. I had a very hectic and…

July 28, 2012 Weekend Challenges
I had a really good week even though it didn't show up on the scales...YET! I'm determined to eat well and hit the gym both Saturday and Sunday this weekend so I can start the week off strong on Monday. Weekends are always where I'm most inconsistent. I have a pool party tonight (they are serving real Memphis BBQ) and a…
