Better late than never, right? Count me in! I've never gone with this accountability approach, but maybe it's what I need. And I think RedRosie has a great idea for the Breakfast Challenge- I REALLY need to stop skipping... I'd like to start my New Year 40 lbs lighter.

Welcome " Dolphins",Soon2be, OneChillMama!

Everyone is so inspiring and y'all make me laugh...RedRosie- being a southern girl myself your holiday game sounds like it will keep our minds off food from trying to keep up with the bingo...it might just work.

Ahh...breakfast haunts me too. My most recent way around it with very little work is to make my chocolate protein shake with half the water (hot) then I add it to my black coffee with no creamer = " Mocha". I really am not a sweet coffee girl but, it is the way I ensure I get my protein in for the morning...Lord knows, I ain't leaving the house without the coffee.

I am still working on a holiday game plan. Since unlikeRosie, I am not traveling home to the South, I may just manage. It's different here in Washington...no one will get their feelings hurt if I don't eat their goodies!

Halloween- not cooking the goodies myself. Will travel the neighborhood with my kiddo and a "hot chocolate" made from my protein shake( honestly this week being TOM - this chocolate shake is the only thing keeping me from ). The chocolatey goodness will keep my sweet tooth at bay while trick r treating.

More to come on the other holidays...only one at a time.

Today, I was on the road all day. Had my youngest with so had to feed her, right? So, she chooses Wendy's a rare treat for her and considering she spent 3hours in medical testing-I caved. But, those fries didn't bug me at all...

While waiting in line I shook up a shake. I had forgot to pack veggies Really I am eating more than just the shakes but they have saved me in a few pinches lately. Better planning tomorrow!

Best Wooshes!

Hi. I hope everyone had a great day!

My day was pretty good. I think I'm getting into the swing of things. I've been making better choices...eating better breakfasts, cooking at home instead of getting take out and having healthier snacks. I just hope I can keep it up! My pattern is to do pretty well a couple of weeks then go off the rails .

@dolphin9006 I have to keep a glass sitting in my face on my desk to remind me. I'm also trying to limit my diet sodas to one in the morning then water the rest of the day. I do use flavor packets in my water at lunch & dinner.

Soda is so addicting! When I have it in the house, that's all I drink.

dolphin9006, I know what you mean. Sometimes I just don't buy them to keep at home. I buy 1 in the morning from the machine at work then it's 0 calories lemonade the rest of the day (I'm not sure this is much better with the artificial sweeteners). Then sometimes I find it in my cart and I'm back to drinking several a day.

Hi Everyone,
I had a late night at work last night and then a very early one today. But for the most part stayed on program and kept up on my water...except late today.

I am a bit concerned about weigh in tomorrow cause this is the week no girl wants to weigh in. But, it is what it is...I think I am holding about 5 gallons of water.

I need to get starting with my walking daily. At this point, I haven't done anything.

Best Wooshes ~ I will weigh-in once I am up in the morning.

Hi. Well, today was not the best but certainly not the worst. I had a good breakfast, lunch and snack. I drank some water and went to the gym. After the gym, I had to help a friend w/ moving stuff and she wanted me to pick up something quick for us to eat. So, I ended up at Sonic. I ordered a grilled chicken club sandwich and fries. . I'm not going to stress about it too much though because I was still only 15 calories over. Also, my workout burns 800-1000 calories according to myfitnesspal (need to get my heart rate monitor to verify). I just have to find better choices for quick on the run meals going forward.

Calories: 15 calories over
Water: 4-6 glasses

Hi everyone!
Loved reading about everyone's weeks. As for the holidays, I need a plan badly but haven't come up with one yet. Last year I gained back a few lost pounds and I really don't want to do that again! I think instead of saying "oh to heck with it its the holidays" I will literally have to stay totally on points (I'm a weight watcher) and just schedule my extra points for Christmas day. *sigh* ...not much of a plan

As for today's weigh in, I have a gain But, it is my TOM so I am expecting a whoosh next week.

Happy Saturday everyone!

10/26 263.2

1/25 Finish line

Gosh, I love the honeymoon phase of a diet...those first few days when I'm getting into the groove of the plan and it's paying off at weigh-in! Happy days this week - I've eaten breakfast for two days in a row. (Ok, yes, one of those days 'breakfast' was a few spoonfuls of oatmeal before running out the door to a meeting, but that absolutely counts!) I'm filling up on veggies at my other meals - thank goodness for those microwave-steamer bags that they make for frozen veggies now. I'm seriously considering going on a planned diet that ships my meals to me in the near future - a first for me - because one of by biggest challenges is planning ahead for healthy meals. Off-loading the planning could be a big help to me when the new-diet-shine starts to wear .

Cutting down on soda is absolutely taking a toll. It's got a hold on me, that's for sure. Which would be a reason to stay off the fizz, even without the challenge! But I'm keeping up with the water - I've got a water cooler at the office which I've emptied a third out of this week.

Next week's major challenge: I'm out of town for training on Monday and Tuesday, with colleagues I infrequently see. Here come the restaurants!

Hope everyone has a great weigh-in and a great weekend!

Wow, nice loss RedRosie! woot!

I feel like I need to make a few adjustments in my routine. Today (if I ever get the chance to get to the store) I will not buy diet sodas. This week, I will only drink water. I will also make a conscious effort to reduce my sodium intake. I have very little time to cook these days and have been relying too much on high sodium pre-packaged food.

I am super stressed and not sleeping well. I have 3 papers, 1 photoshop assignment and a 20 min presentation all due the week after this one. My anxiety level is up the roof and I'm getting panic attacks (I have GAD). I hope the scale will not reflect that too much the upcoming 2 weeks.

For now I am at 263.

Have a good on plan day everyone!

Happy Saturday All!

I slept in a bit after a very LONG work week

RedRosie - I had a business meeting this week and it was catered so not much for me to eat...dinner out hopefully will give you choices. Congrats on your loss!

Dolphin9006- Stress and no sleep Hang in there girl! The diet soda has been more of and problem letting go of for my DH than me but, I have seen first hand the hold it can have on folks. Of course, this from the coffee addict! Good job juggling it all!

Begoodjen - That TOM guy messed up my week too! Someone should take him out behind a shed. And give him what for Your holiday plan IS a plan. I keep reminding myself " if I fail to plan; I plan to fail". That flexibility in your points is a cool thing for Christmas! Wishin' Wooshes for you next week!


Well, like I said last night I have been bloated for days and truly expected a 10 lb gain. But, this morning when I weighed nothing up or down. I think I will happily take that! I like many of you struggle with planning meals on the run that include veggies. I like the steamed veggie bag idea, I think I will try that. I did buy a bunch of veggies that I can roast together then pack for the week.

So for me...wait stop the presses! I went back to copy/paste my weight/week chart below and I have lost 2 lbs from last week! For some reason I thought I was at 233 last week.

I've had a busy weekend and am just catching up on my posts.

Saturday I helped family move. For lunch, pizza was ordered so that was not the best. However, I was still under calories after calculating calories burned moving stuff (according to my fitnesspal anyway).

Today, I helped with moving again after lunch at home. I also weighed in since I started on Sunday last week. I did weigh in last Sunday in the afternoon so I don't know how accurate my numbers are. All in all I think I had a pretty good week. I think I made some good choice and I tried new veggies and recipes. Planning ahead and sharing my day here has made a big difference.

I hope everyone has a great week ahead!

Daily Stats:
Calories: slightly under
Water: 4-6
