I have a good feeling this month is going to be good! I am ready to get into the 180's! I have been on plan and exercising. I am struggling with getting my weight lifting in, so I have added them in while walking on the treadmill. I know I need more than that, but I still feel my muscles working a little harder when I powerwalk with the weights, so it will have to do for now!

My biggest issues are Saturday and Sunday! I always end up adding a pound or two when I am at home. I really need to work on that and be mindful of what I am eating, for sure!

Looks like we got a few newbies on our thread! Welcome! I hope you all benefit from daily weigh ins as much as I do on this thread! I love the accountability this place gives me!

Good luck this month everybody! I am looking forward to see everyone's progress!
Have a great OP day!

Love - My water I'm already back on track with for today anyways, its easier for me to drink water at work I'm noticing, then again the coffee is just gross, I'm not a fan of tea or hot chocolate so what other options are there

Vix - Nice to see you too! I really do miss this place when I don't get a chance to catch up with everyone. What's going on with your tooth? That doesn't sound pleasant at ALL.

Kukkie - They have apparently hired a new person at work WOO HOO. Hope it's true anyways As for the smoking, I'm not even going to pretend that i've been doing well, I was doing really well for a while, then came to work and realized teh nasty little attitude I'll pick up when i'm nic-fitting is not going to help anything at work. Sigh. Will jump back on that wagon shortly.

Noel - I've got a great feeling about this month too Stay positive !!

I had the BEST reaction from the worst phone call today, it's so bizarre. Had a 'fight' I suppose youd call it about something out of my control, of course that made the other person pissy, which made them yell - Im not one to accept being yelled at, ever. Though, i've noticed that somwhere along the way after I had my son I lost that confidence I always had to speak my mind.
WELL . . . . that sure changed. I spoke my mind, in an adult way and made it clear there was no reason to be rude, be upset thats fine, don't try to make me feel like crap because of it.
Im actually surprised that I'm not livid, then again maybe I shouldn't be, I used to be the type that would be mad for 5 minutes then get over it and that was that. Now, I seem to be back to that. I spoke my mind, I let him speak his and let him know I didn't appreciate his tone or words.
I've found that condfidence, the drive and the fight that I used to have and so many friends admired. DAMN I missed it and WOW it feels good to have that switched on again.
That was a long ramble . . I'm just excited and determined now

.6 gain for me today. TOM showed up about 5-6 days early today...that was quite a surprise, but also explained quite a lot about my mood and my cravings over the last few days. Ooooh Halloween is tough. I can't just throw out the chips and candy, and I can't eat them either -- I'm being extra generous with how much DS can have so that they will all be gone sooner.

Vixsin -- Tooth pain is the worst. I hope your dentist was able to do something for you today to bring you some relief.

Rennie -- I'm so glad to hear from you, I was missing you. Don't beat yourself up. We all mess up sometimes, and this is a long journey, who could do it without ever falling off the wagon. Please be as kind to yourself as you always are to others.

Kris -- Congrats on the new jeans How about that red dress, have you gone in for another fitting lately?

Shylah -- Feel better soon

Coon -- Sorry about the gains. I bet it is the water, or lack of. Once you start getting your water and workouts in I'm sure you'll feel more like yourself again. Update -- Just read your second post, sounds like you are feeling more like yourself already, congratulations on rediscovering your voice

Kukkie -- Congrats on your loss and on reorganizing to make time for the gym today!

Cincimini -- Woohoo, super loss lady!

Akelly -- 170's here you come! It will feel so great when you get there.

Kristi, Star, Jennie, Matilda

Angie: I hear you on the junk in the house and not being able to throw it away. I have tossed many things but for whatever reason I cant toss my son's candy. I have been generous with him. Thankfully, I am staying strong and I know that candy will be gone from this house eventually.

Coon: ROCK ON GIRL!!!!!!!!! I'm glad you found your voice again. I LOVE it when you get the fire and that pep in your step!! You get me all fired up when you do that!

Literature: Way to stay consistent! Hoping tomorrow brings a loss for you!

Mdchick: I LOVE your avatar!!!!!!! I took ballet for many, many years. Welcome to the thread. You are among friends here! We're glad you joined us!!

TOOTH UPDATE:
So I went to the dentist today and things went well. Turns out I have an infection in my gums and it was abssessing at the spot where it hurts the worst. So I got an RX for antibiotics and Tylenol-3's. So after I popped a couple of those a little while ago, things are better. My mouth doesn't hurt as much and honestly I don't really care right now!!! Thank you for all of the well wishes. Looks like the rest of my teeth get to stay in my head.

I picked it up last Wednesday. Hopefully it still fits me come Saturday because I can't try it on without help.

Morning
Up 0.4 this morning - not surprised, I've been feeling that one !!
Hope everyone else has a good day. I'm off to the UK for a quick business trip, be back Friday.

Good Morning, Everyone!

We went to the Fair last night. I did try to estimate my calories. I have been trying to eat less calories the last few days and I upped my workouts. Yesterday was the last day of TTOM, so by my weigh in, it looks like I got rid of some water weight. Tonight is my favorite Japanese restaurant. I know I will go back up because of the sodium, though. We'll see. I'm working my plan the best I can.

Calories for yesterday: 1985 + Morning Joe

Weigh In: 186.4

Down: 1.4 pounds (new low)

[ShylahEQ]

Still bleh today. Haven't weighed yet. Working up the strength and want to shower. lol

I'm feeling puffy and gross so I'm sure I'm up there. le sigh.

Good morning everyone!!

up .9.. this is so frustrating I eat clean everyday,exercise everyday,always watching my carbs,drink enough water and don't even use salt any more but the scale won't show all my hard work. this must be some deep down hard fat cause it seems like it's gonna take a bulldozer to move it I know I'm losing inches but i want to see it on the scale I've been threw this before but each time it never gets easier. My goodness..all I'm fighting for is 3 little lbs and it's taking forever to get'um.I'll just stop thinking about them.Thanks for letting me rant guys,sorry.BUT..I will Fight On!!!

You did great Diana congrats on the 1.4 Hope you had a good time.You've got this thing planned/organized to the tee
