Back again...Positive vibes appreciated!
Good morning! I'm back at this again. I was down to about 168 in July 2009, and I began a new job in August. I am an accountant, and I have been working crazy hours since January 1st (65-70 hours a week). Needless to say, I don't have a lot of time to cook healthy meals or exercise because we eat meals at the office and I…

Smurfettes and Papa Smurf 11/20
I figured I would start the thread today. I think we're all looking for each other! I feel as though I've plateaued. I keep bouncing between 169 and 171. I am hoping to stay about where I am until Dec. 1, when I have a personal training session. My schedule will really allow me to start lifting weights at the gym.…

Chobani Fatfree Greek Yogurt!
I bought the vanilla last night as a coworker recommended Greek Yogurt to me. It is SO GOOD! 120 Calories, 0 Fat, 13 g Carbs, 13 Sugar (from Sugar, NOT Corn Syrup), and 16 g Protein! I am so filled up from this an an English muffin! I also have the peach, strawberry, and blueberry flavors--they were on sale 4 for $5!

Blood Pressure Screenings!
So I just have something to share... We have a health fair at work today with massages, flu shots, blood pressure screenings, and cholesterol testing. I knew that my blood pressure was high when I was a junior in high school. I weighed about 200 pounds at that point. I am happy to report that today, my blood pressure was…

Disastrous Weekend
This is my confession... I went back to my college for the weekend with friends. I ate and drank whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I paid for it today on the scale. I left at 167.8 last Thursday. This morning, I was a staggering 177.2 I know that a lot of this will come off in the next few days, but psychologically…

Jillian's Comment on Biggest Loser
The Tuesday before last, Jillian said something to Shellay. When I heard her say it, it motivated me so much, but I couldn't remember it word for world. I watched a portion of that episode again, and I finally have the comments she made. "You're one breath away from being anything you want to be. That breath is a choice.…

BWL Smurfettes and Papa Smurf 10/8
Good Morning, Smurfettes! I figured I'd get us started today since I didn't see the threat. I have been out of the loop for a few days. I have been busy at work and studying for the CPA, so not much time. Weigh in today was VERY pleasing! I am going to kickboxing tonight. I didn't get to go last week because of studying,…

BWL Smurfettes and Papa Smurf 9/26
Happy Friday, Smurfettes! Sorry I haven't been around the past two days, I've been in meetings. I went a little bit overboard at lunch yesterday--ribs, bbq wings, and buffalo wings with tiramisu for dessert. Then, one of the guys in the office's wife made the most delectable chocolate chip bars and caramel bars. I had a…

BWL Smurfettes and Papa Smurf 9/24
Good Morning, Smurfettes! I got into work early today, so I figured I'd start today's thread. I was very pleased with my weigh in number. Go Blue! I have meetings for the rest of the week with food. Today, lunch is tuna salad with a dinner roll. Usually there is not much lettuce and tons of tuna. I'll need to watch that.…

The Donuts are Speaking to Me
There are delicious frosted and sprinkled donuts here. They are calling to me. I walked over, picked up a napkin, told myself I'd only eat half of one, and ran back in here to post. AHHHH

Taco Bell Taco Eating Contest
I just came back from lunch today... The director and one of the project managers decided to have a challenge to see who could eat 10 Volcano Taco's quickest. The entire staff watched as they INHALED these tacos. Although I was tempted, I saved myself from eating 2400 calories, 170 grams of fat, 50 grams of saturated fat,…

Yippee for Me!
So I just got back from an office BBQ, and I wanted to share how proud I was. There were huge bins of Eggplant Parm, Hotdogs, Cheeseburgers, and BBQ Chicken Sandwiches. I took my plate and filled it with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and two BBQ chicken breasts. I skipped the chips and the pasta / potato salads. They…

Me vs Office Junk Food Challenge - Day 1
Welcome to the Challenge! It's stressful enough at the office, but throw bagels, cookies, candies, and cakes in the mix, and it can be a recipe for disaster. We will post our challenges for the day and how we do to overcome them. I walked into the office today, and there was a huge basket of Wild Cherry M&Ms sitting on the…

Office Candy Dish!
Anybody else here have trouble with the office candy dish? After lunch, I always tell myself I will have piece. The rest of the day, I keep having "just one more piece". In all today, I have eaten an extra 300 calories because I can't stay away from the candy dish. Those of you who work in an office know that it is always…

How Much Weight Can a Person REALLY Put On?!
So I have to admit, I went a little bit overboard this weekend. I had a free for all bingefest at a picnic this weekend. When I left on Friday, I weighed in at a respectable 169 pounds. When I arrived home yesterday morning (on an empty stomach), I was tipping the scales at 174.4. I ate very little yesterday (as I was…
