Kaepepper-- I know what you mean about the snow- we're neighbors. In light of the blizzard like conditions expected today I told my sister that I WILL do the shoveling when I get home from working my 2 jobs at about 10:30 tonight. It's a GREAT workout. Bring on the snow!
Zoritsa-- I know exactly what you mean when you say it's easier to stay on plan than to get back on plan. It seems sometimes when we fall off or slip a little it is easy to use it as an excuse to say, "screw it, I blew the day so I might as well polish off this cake and cookies and I'll be better tomorrow when I can start fresh. I loved a quote I read in a post earlier this week (someone said they got it from a weightwatcher meeting).. saying that if you slip while walking down the stairs you don't just say, "Oh well. I blew it" and then give up and throw yourself down the staircase.
As for me.. I am staying on plan Today for myself. I joined the March Points Challenge and I have a refreshing feeling of motivation.
The one reason I'm staying on plan today is because I WANT TO SHOP AT VICTORIA'S SECRET!!! I want a pretty pink bag too, filled with more than just lotion and body spray.
Tiffany - So funny you said that! I have been wearing my size 10 Hanes granny pants since I was 260 and it really is time for a change. I went into VS w/teenage DD and she said I should get some. I told her I could get some cheaper ones at Target and she said, "Mom, it's just not the same. Treat yourself." So I did. I had my own pink bag for the first time in about 10 years!
Today I stay OP because I want to see a new decade (the 180s) in the next few days. (At least on my home scale)

Me too! I just love lacey, satiny, silky pretty lingerie. It used to make me feel so sexy and feminine. I saw Carmen Electra interviewed and she said she collected lingerie. Now, I never looked like that but I will sure have an awesome collection again one day!
I'm with Zoritsa on this one. I'm staying on plan today because it is so darn hard to start over again. I can't say that I'm close to onderland, but I'm darn close to 270land. I like to break through those 10's!! Little victories, you know!
My reason for staying on plan today is because I finally made it to having under 100 lbs too lose...which to me (at this moment) I don't care if it's 1 or 99 lbs left for my long goal I still made it to less than 100! YAY! Also it's been 6 years and 2 kids ago that I made it to onederland and I can't wait to get back there again. Which I AM going to do. I am soooo happy I joined this site. You all are doing so great, very inspirational.
My one reason for staying on plan today is my family. I'm feeling so good lately and I think it's contagious. I have finally got everyone off the junk food at home and there is no way I'm going back on that.
Oh and the Victoria Secrets thing too! I can't wait!
One reason to stay on my plan today is because my health is at risk. My knees can't hold my weight, my back hurts if I stand up longer than ten minutes and I now have type II diabetes. I am killing myself slowly with overeating.
Hey Lisa and Cheryl - I am sooooo racing you to onederland! I'd love to see us all cross the line at the same time. I am very close - saw 200 on the scale this morning, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that on Sunday (my "official" weigh in day and the only one I count for tracking), I'll be there.
