Hello Everyone! Welcome to the October Check-In! Let's make it a great month!

I want to welcome everyone to the Daily Accountability Check-In. Our goal is to stay accountable and on track by posting our daily food and exercise choices. All food and exercise programs are welcome. Consistency is the key to reaching our weight loss goals.

Introduce yourself or jump right in and tell us what you have been doing.


Here's to the start of a great month!

I am in ... Hi Everyone

Not gonna change my ticker back, I'm gonna get back to my LOW

[L R K]

Yay! Of course you know I am in!

I am def. looking forward to a new month! My goal for this month is to see some progress! I want to see 190lbs!

love2b150 - I agree that you should NOT change your ticker, it will be good motivation to get back there. I know you can do it!

[love2b150]

Thanks Lauren ... we're gonna do this ... you'll see 190-189 and I will hopefully at least see 160. It sure would be nice

Tonight my daughter had a chicken wrap and I asked her could I taste it. She asked me how much I weighed, I told her 167 this morning, she said that's up isn't it? I told her yes but I'm good, she gave me a bite and said that's all I needed. I think it's sweet that my children are now paying attention. Yesterday I had 4 snickerdoodle cookies, a definite and my son let me know that. I have the five hawks watching me.

I'm in.

Love, I like your ticker. Hurry up cool weather, and pumpkin pies!

Diana, thanks for starting us off!

Lauren, I agree, ticker changing is just too depressing!

Hi Everyone! This is me being accountable when I just want to go to sleep. Day 27 of food journaling. I did make a few bad choices today, but hoping the amount evened things out. Oh, and we walked MILES today.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was astounding with the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra tonight after a gorgeous day at the World Equestrian Games! I'd seen them once before and they're so much fun. Swing big band music.

Food today:
Small bowl of cereal with banana and soy milk 300
Part of a turkey, mustard, cheese, whole grain bread sandwich 250
1 beer 100
Fried fish and fries: left quite a bit behind, but still... ugh! 900
A muffin/2 cookies from that darn bake sale this morning. Yes, I should have just donated like those wise souls among us recommended! :/ 450
Like 2000 calories today with at least 350-400 calories burned walking.

Mama P! I loved your doc story! That sounds like a fun relationship and yay on all of the recognition of your accomplishment.

Vixsin: I too am looking forward to this! You're at least 6 lbs lower than me, so I'll try to catch up.

Lauren: I hope you're feeling better soon. I had a similar situation recently with two terribly STRONG plug-ins that were brought into the office next to mine. I sent an email to the person explaining that they were causing severe allergy problems/headaches for me and to please take them home. Of course, I also unplugged them and left them on his desk. Hey, in my defense, I'm there MUCH more than he is. Maybe you can speak to her directly about your sensitivity to fragrance? Good luck!

Blueridge: Great suggestion! And I do love it in Thai food, but the marinara sounds much healthier for me.

Raven: Not wrong at all re: ticker. I encountered that dilemma yesterday too.

Diana: Thanks for the new board and good luck getting your books in order!

Shells, Love, Cinmin, Roxanne, Stacy, Penguin, Abi, and everyone else: Good night and good luck tomorrow. Friday's and the weekends always prove challenging!

My goal is 128 by Christmas. 128 is the lowest I've ever been, and a product of trying to starve it off in high school. I'm 134 currently and not particularly disciplined, but I've been "good" all week (for the most part...).

Yesterday's food and exercise:
Breakfast
-bagel sandwich (196)
-yogurt (89)
-coffee (~30)

Lunch
-Vegetable bifun noodles from 7-11 (346)

Snack
-1 banana, large (125)

Dinner
-pasta, broccoli and onion with tomato sauce - (~600)
-gummy candy, fail (~150)

Exercise
-45 minutes jogging/running
-about 1 hr 40 min of routine walking

[Diana3271]

Good Morning and TGIF! Welcome to a new month!

krampus Hi and Welcome!

Dallas It sounds like you had a blast yesterday!

Penguin Hi You didn't mention pumpkin pie did you?

Love Ha Ha That story about your children watching you is so funny. We we all go out to eat, DH, me, and my Mom, and there's a bread basket, DH will ask me first if I want a piece of bread. If I say yes, he will obviously cut my piece a lot smaller than theirs. Which is good. He knows what I am trying to do. Gotta love him.

Lauren We will be watching and cheering you to 190 and below!

[L R K]

love2b150 - Aww it's great to see your family supporting you so strongly

Penguin -Yay!

dallas - I am feeling much better this morning, thanks for asking!

Krampus -Helllooooooo! and Welcome to the thread

Diana - YES! TGIF!! And thank you. I could really use some cheerleaders this month.

[ravenjeh]

Yay! New thread, new month! Welcome back, everybody

BBL for personals, but just wanted to pop in to post that I lost 1.4 since yesterday! That's almost BACK to onederland at 200.0. Surely tomorrow I will be back to where I was last week. I'm back, baby! hehe

Hope everyone has an awesome Monday!

[ravenjeh]

Oops! I can't believe that I really thought it was Monday! HAHAHA! I only noticed now when I saw LaurenA write "TGIF"!
Ok, correction:
Hope everybody has an awesome FRIDAY! lol

[L R K]

IT IS FRIDAY!!!!!!

I am feeling a lot better today so getting right back to it.

Here is the plan for the day 10/1/2010

B - 2 slices WW multigrain bread w/ natural almond butter + 1 apple

S - Cucumber and carrot sticks w/ hummus + 5 reduced sodium triscuits

L - Not sure yet, our dept. is having our quarterly associate recognition day so not sure what i'll be doing for lunch.

S - Probably another piece of fruit when I get home.

D - Again not sure, going out.

Drinking: At least 2 cups green tea + 2L water + 1 diet pepsi

No Exercise today

Have a happy, healthy and OP day and weekend!

[L R K]

raven - Great job on the loss!

[blueridgegirl]

Gah, I just posted this on Sept thread, forgetting it was a new month!

Good morning friends,

My Thursday

breakfast - oatmeal with 2 Tbsp peanut butter for protein (we were out of almonds), coffee with skim milk

lunch - rice and beans with a little sprinkle of cheese, cucumber salad, water

snack - leftover from my Wednesday baking, one small slice of fruit tart, but was low on calories from breakfast and lunch so it balances out. And now all my baked goods are gone, thankfully.

dinner - lots of veggies in asian-inspired meal! Homemade spring rolls with carrot, red pepper, cucumber wrapped in rice paper, with soy/peanut dipping sauce. Stir fried onion, cabbage, broccoli over quinoa/millet. Iced decaf green tea. Yummy.

snack - fairly light dinner, and small portions, so was hungry by 8:30 pm or so. 1 slice of pumpkin bread with walnuts. I was totally wanting to eat some chocolate, but put my foot down and went for something that was still a little bit sweet but had a good balance of carbs and protein, and less fat.

No exercise - crazy busy day at work again chock full of meetings. But felt good to be OP again with eating.

Not weighing because of TTOM. And feeling sort of crabby today - probably because of TTOM but also work stuff. You know when you get a new person on the job and it's like, "great, there is a new person here, so it will lighten my load." But then you have to train said new person, who may be starting from absolute zero and be lacking in common sense, so now you have to do the work you did before PLUS trying to hold this person's hand to get them to a point where they can be some level of helpful. Instead of looking at his training schedule, which he was too lazy to read himself, he came to me while I was in the middle of adding up a bunch of numbers to ask me what was on his schedule today. Not real clued in to his environment. Yep, that's the spot I'm in today. Don't want to be mean to this new guy but it's really trying my patience, and of course putting more time and energy into him means less time and energy I can put into my own goals - but I'm working out this afternoon, come what may, as that will certainly help me feel a little bit less

[Vixsin]

Yay for new months! This is my birthday month!!!!!

I'm seeing some of that water weight from the fair go away. I am down .6 to 235.8. I'll take it. I will be on plan all weekend long so I am confident that I will have good news to report on Monday. Even with the date with the hottie on saturday.

Eats today are planned

Breaky: greek yogurt w. kashi, granola bar, string cheese, sm apple = 460
Lunch: chicken w black beans, pesto green beans, salad, string cheese = 481
Snack: baby carrots, string cheese, 2 sm apples = 230
Supper: planning on tilapia with shredded cheese on a wheat wrap. Maybe 2 of those. I've got enough in my calories for 2


Lauren: Glad you're feeling better!!

Raven: Great job! You'll be back in onederland very very soon!!!

Krampus:

Dallas: Don't worry about catching up. Were all in this together!

Love2b: Hi! Glad you're here.
