100 lb. Club - May~The ONE reason I am staying on plan today is:

Today is a new day, and today I'm worth it. Well, I'm worth it everyday, but I'm going one day at a time here, lol!

Lynn

I'm staying OP today because I want the 180's. Last week no loss. Hopefully this week will be better. I know it will eventually come off. Because I've stayed OP everyday since January 10th.:carrot:

I'm staying on plan today because it's Monday and I didn't have a slip up all weekend, so why go off plan just because I have to get back into a routine.

I'm staying on plan today because I avoid meeting new people because I'm ashamed of the way I look - and I hate it!

My reason for today: I am only 0.2 lbs away from being able to change my avatar to the 35-lbs-lost chick, and I want to see that little chickadee really bad! :lol:

I am staying on plan today because, after last week, I need to get back on track!

Have a great week, everyone!!

~Laura

I need to stay on plan today as there are ten days left in the month and I want to try to stay on plan all month. So far so good !

I'm on plan today because the scales surprised me happily this morning and I want to return the favor! They have to be glad each time I get on a little lighter. ;)

I am staying on plan today because I want the pounds to keep coming off, my waist measurements are down from when I took them 2 wks ago, and so is my hips.
My waist was a 49 inch now is 46 inch
my hips was a 59 inch now a 56 inch.
I would like to go back down to 36-38 inch waist at least and my hips down to a 38.

I'm staying on plan today because I briefly saw the 260's on my scale this morning. I'm almost there!

Today's ONE reason: Somehow the impossible has happened - I've lost my hips and my butt. And I never, ever want to find them. :)

I'm on plan today because the past two Sunday's were not good for me...first Mother's Day with several large meals, then yesterday with DD's graduation/confirmation party. What made me think that that was a license to eat anything? UGH! I need to get my butt in gear, literally!

Somehow the impossible has happened - I've lost my hips and my butt. And I never, ever want to find them.

:bravo:

My one reason I am staying on plan is because - I feel so ALIVE!!

The changes that I have made are making a difference and it is so awesome!

I'm staying OP today, because I want to see a new avatar for me come WI day. :)

I'm staying on plan today, because I realize that I went off plan a few times and saw the results at my weigh in. D'oh! So, I'm staying on plan because it works.

I have to do it! I have fallen and I need to get back up!!! Getting started back is the hardest part....
I have to wake up in the morning knowing I did it today.. I need that for myself...

I'm staying on plan today because I FEEL better when I do.

I'm staying on plan today because having an awful start to the day is no reason to go off programme - the cat brought in a mouse at 4am this morning.:barf:

At least he killed this one - he's got a bad habit of playing with them and letting them get behind the bookshelf and losing them...

In saying that, getting up to get rid of the mouse - not much fun...

I'm staying on plan today because it feels really good to actually be comfortable in size 12 pants for the first time since I was a teenager!

The one reason I'm staying OP today is the only thing I have to lose is weight. So why not stay OP.

The one reason I am staying on plan today is because I am starting to feel good!

Today's ONE reason: Hmmm. Well let's see. One daughter in misery with her stomach problems and another one broke her foot yesterday and will be on crutches during bike riding and park going season for the next 3 - 6 weeks. I never, ever would have handled this as well if I had still been 287 lbs. NEVER.

Robin -- your poor kids!! I hope they are better soon.

The one reason I'm staying on plan today is -- it feels soooo good!! Instead of the run down, yucky feeling from overeating -- I feel great!!!

I'm staying on plan today because I had gained 2 pounds (partly water, as evidenced by my ankles) and I'm tired of going UP!

I am staying on plan today as I don't want the scale to get stuck at 179.

I'm on plan today because this morning the scale showed yesterday's weigh in could have been a fluke...and I might have really only lost 2 pounds. But YESTERDAY was official ;) so I'm keeping it...however, I have to stay on plan in order to have a loss next week, too! Those darn fluctuations!!!

My one reason is that I really want to make it into the 260's. So close at this last weigh in!!!! Gotta make it!

I'm staying OP today because I'm already thinking about getting out of the 2-teens and into the eh, what do we call the 2-0's?

I'm on plan today because yesterday was such a great on plan day! The more of them you string together, the easier they get!

I am staying OP today because come Tuesday morning I really really want to see the 230's.... FINALLY!!! :D

The one reason I'm staying on plan today is because I've somehow managed to gain 3 lbs overnight. I know it's water weight as TOM is charging up at me like a wounded bull, but even so it's quite disheartening.

One good thing - I don't seem to be craving sweet stuff at the moment, but I'm really craving carbs - bread especially...

I'm staying on plan today because I'm really looking forward to those 170s, and I'd LOVE to hit them next week (though that's a bit ambitious...)

I'm staying OP today because I'm already thinking about getting out of the 2-teens and into the eh, what do we call the 2-0's?

Jennylou - we call the 2-0's the gateway to ONEDERLAND!

I'm on plan today because the scale is back to Monday's weight and that makes me :) . I'm also on plan because I listed my specific dreams in another thread and on-plan is the only way to make them reality.

My one reason for staying on plan today is simply this: vanity. :lol:

I want to see how much better I can look, and I'm excited about the fact that I already look better than I have since I was in college. It's amazing what my extra weight did to my face as well as my body -- my face has been hiding for years under all that extra flesh!

Lisamarie, I had just about the the same exact revelation last night. Only I was looking at my high school graduation picture. I was thinking I look so darn similar to that picture after not looking anything at all like it for close to 20 years. Amazing what fat does to a person. Simply amazing.

My ONE reason: I know this is gonna sound corny, but - I feel so absolutely ALIVE and vibrant, and INVOLVED in life. I can't really explain it. But I basically feel - FANTASTIC, even with all the crummy stuff that goes on day to day. I NEVER want that to change.

I plan to stay on plan today as I have no excuse not to. My car is in the shop. I have no reason to go out and there is plenty of healthy stuff to eat here.

Lisamarie I am saving you a seat in the 170's. I find it surreal to be here myself.Last year I would have laughed if you told me I was going to weigh 178 pounds again. It didn't seem possible and now the 160's look probable.

I am staying OP because I like it - -- I see good things coming my way!

Robin I know what you mean about feeling ALIVE - - - The other day it just hit me - maybe it was the weather or endorphins kicking in from exercising - I don't know - but it was like all of sudden I was just "Wow - this is GOOD and I am liking it!"

Todays reason for staying on programme is because 5KG lost is so close (less than a pound away) and I want to get my prize for losing 5KG next week.

sirak, thank you for saving me a seat in the 170s! You're doing fantastic, by the way!! :)

So that's my one reason today -- to get to the 170s! That's a big deal for me because it'll mean I'm very close to losing 100 pounds. I started in the 270s, so getting to the 170s means so much to me. I think I'll cry for days when I hit 175!

Penney, I'm so glad that you are feeling so well. :)

Today's ONE reason: It's hard for me to even fathom it, but 3 lbs from now, I will actually be in the 140's. Yup, me, Robin, will be a one hundred forty pound something person. Wow, just ....... wow. Freaking INCREDIBLE!!!!

I'm staying OP today because i love seeing the scale go lower. :D

Me too, jennylou!

I'm on plan today because it's one of those "stall" times of the month and I'm not going to let it get the best of me!

The One Reason I'm Staying Op Today Is I Feel Great. I Seem To Say That Alot Lately. But I Guess That Is Because It Is True.

Thanks LisaMarie !
Robin- Does it ever stop being surreal to be in the "small" numbers after being a larger person ? I am not sure what I will do when I get down to 140 !

I am staying on plan to day because I am going shopping this week for clothes and I want to find something that fits.

I am staying OP today because this has been an awesome week so far - I have done really well - I want to end the week on a high note - so hopefully - next week will be just as great!

And besides - I am weighing-in on Tuesday and I want it to be like GOOD.... LOL

I am staying on plan today because I need to prove I can do it, I am a strong women, and being this size does't show it. Instead of walking into places with my chin heald high, I look down, I want to loose this weight so I can walk anywhere strong and tall.

Robin- Does it ever stop being surreal to be in the "small" numbers after being a larger person ? I am not sure what I will do when I get down to 140 !



It's funny you mentioned that. I was just thinking the other day - It really does feel surreal. Kind of like an outer body experience. Like this is not really me. I still get soooo excited over, well EVERYTHING. I love just wearing all my new fabulous clothes, I love just walking around, I love crossing my legs when I sit, I love feeling my bones, I even love looking in the mirror. I just get such a "kick" out of everything. I wonder when it will stop and I will just take it for granted. I wonder. And I hate to tell you this, but YOU are not so far away from the 140's!!!!!

I guess I really do have two reasons today: I need to stay on plan today (and I WILL) for my own sanity! DH has been throwing so many stress balls at me lately, that being on plan is the one thing that I can completely control. Being a control freak, I need to use this to my advantage! In addition, weigh in is Saturday morning before I head down to the lake for a week; I missed weigh in last week due to so many family things going on so I've been feeling kinda lost all week. I need to get back there and get all my ducks back in a row!

Today I'm staying on programme because I slipped up yesterday and I refuse to have 2 not so good days in a row.

I'm staying on plan because I love myself enough to take the best care of myself :)

The one reason that I am staying on plan today is because I am worth it.....

The ONE reason I am staying on plan today is because yesterday ............ I didn't. Big time. Not old days big time or even close, but nevertheless it was without a doubt the worst day that I've had in over 8 1/2 months. I'm not freaking out at all. I am just going to get back on track TODAY. Afterall it's not one day of overeating that got me to 287 lbs. It was overeating A LOT- most days of the year, year after year.

Robin, what was it about yesterday???? I did stay on plan BUT I was TRYING to JUSTIFY going OFF plan!!! I was telling myself that I could eat not one but 2 pieces of chocolate cake because just one time wasn't going to add the pounds on....now does that sound like an alcoholic or what??? Anyway, I ended up have NO birthday cake because it was obviously going to be a big problem for me!

I'm on plan today because I was yesterday....and the day before...and the month before...and in order to lose this weight it just needs to continue!

I'm on plan because I sneaked in a visit to the scale and it showed the 260's to me. I want that so bad by Monday's weigh in!!! I'll have to be on guard this weekend to keep that number showing!!

I'm staying OP today because I want to own the 180's next week Wedneday.
I haven't seen the 180's in 20 years. That will be fantastic.

I am staying OP today because I love it!!!

My ONE reason for staying on plan today is....I am 2 pounds from my halfway there mark!! (and it has only taken me 21 weeks to get this far!!) I KNOW I can do it this time.....It is MY life and I am the one in charge for the first time in my life!!

I had a hard workout yesterday and I am not going to blow it by going off plan today .

The reason(s) I am staying on plan today is I like the #'s going down, I am fitting back in some of last summer's clothing and would like to fit in them all asap. I do not want the #'s to go up any more, I look forward to the day when I can post I am in the 230's( haven't been there for about 5 yrs). So that is why I am staying on Plan today.

I am staying OP today because I actually feel GOOD (this is day 4)!!!

I'm staying on plan today because I deserve the very best I can give myself. I was reading some threads, I think the NSV, and several people pointed out, we give our best, all day everyday to everyone else, it's about time I started giving myself the very best too, and being a bit more selfish with my needs as an individual.

I'm staying on plan because it's the weekend and that doesn't mean I've got free rein to eat what I want.

I'm a bit late to this thread today...

I'm staying on plan today for the same reason again: the 170s!

Just getting to the computer today, and trying to catch up on the threads I frequent. Robin and Tricia, it must be in the water! Yesterday I was putting DD's leftover confirmation cake in a container to take to the lake tomorrow morning; it's the bakery kind with that fabulous buttercream icing. I licked two big mouthfuls of icing off my finger before I even realized what I did. I was shocked at myself, and at the same time could've eaten a couple more mouthfuls! OMG!!!! Today I weighed in and am down 2 pounds, but only cause I'm sure that icing just hasn't shown up yet!

On to today's reason.....Memorial Day weekend is here and there will be tons of food at the lake for the next 5 or 6 days. I have to be on plan or it could be disasterous....and since I just changed my ticker to a goal countdown, I'm not allowing any disasters to get in my way!

Hmmm. I like that Kelly - countdown to goal. I might just try that. I don't know if it was the water that made me go off plan the other day, but whatever it was I'm glad it didn't stick around. I was back on plan yesterday and that's where I like to be. I really looked at it as an experiment. I've had so few off plan days since I started this journey, I was curious to see what would happen.

Anyway, today's ONE reason: I like my plan. It provides me comfort. It provides me with the best chance for optimal health. It allows me to fit into smaller clothing. It's how I've lose 135 lbs. It's my plan - and I'm sticking with it. :)

I'm on plan today because it's the first day of a 3 day weekend and we're starting it off with breakfast out. I'm resolving to be on plan through breakfast and the entire weekend. There is no reason my plan should prevent my families ability to do some of this stuff...and there is no reason this stuff should keep me fat.

It is a rotten weekend. Things are out of control. A sense of emotional chaos has practically enveloped my world.I have to keep my cool until things get sorted out.
The one thing I can control is my eating.I will not let this sabatoge my diet.

Oh boy, hang in there Sirak! Sounds like a bad time for you. Hope things turn around!
I'm on plan because we're going to be spending a lot of time at the ballpark. You know, they don't offer much for on plan snacks there!!

Not to sound like a broken record, but I'm staying on plan today to reach the 170s. This morning I saw 180 on the scale, which could be a fluke, but I'm hoping that means I have a chance to see 179 on Tuesday morning. I'll be running a total of at least 12 miles before then (4 of which I just finished), so I want to stick to my plan and see if I can make it happen.

Some family members are coming to visit Tuesday through Friday and I always eat more when they're around, so I'm determined to stick to my plan strictly until they get here! Also, I'd like to be able to tell my mom that I'm in the 170s when she gets here Tuesday night!

I am staying OP today because I have seen the light, the 230's are on the horizon - - I am hyped because I have almost met my exercise goal for the month of May and I am going to have days left over - so I will actually meet and beat my goal... woo hoo! :carrot:

I have weigh-in at work Tuesday (2 other ladies and I have pot going and whoever loses the largest percentage at the end gets the pot) - I want to win this one.... the first one I missed by ounces... :p

Sirak - I really hope your weekend turns around for you.... :hug:

I'm staying on plan today because I'm only 11 pounds away from a "normal" BMI! Want to get closer to that this weekend rather than farther away, despite all the barbeque temptations.

I'm staying on plan today because I feel better about myself when I stay on plan...

Today's ONE reason: I love walking around in my new body. It's kind of surreal at times, it still feels like a brand new toy or something, but I like it alot and I don't ever, ever want to go back to being obese. :)

I am staying on plan today because the weekend took away my exercise groove! I was lazy!!! Back to it today!

I am staying on Plan today because I need to be healthier to hike in the mountains. Where I live there are lots of mountains, and we went saturday morning to Hike, Going downhill was great, but going up hill was really steep, I had to stop every 5-10 miutes, to catch my breath, my heart was beating away and I felt awful. I am staying on plan today so I can get healthier and run up the mountain, instead of huffing and puffing. cheryl

I am staying on plan today because even though I have slowed down this week I still want to finish the month like I started .
I guess that means I need to go do Monday's workout that I missed eh ?

I'm staying on plan because I had a massive off plan day yesterday involving pizza for dinner - not great, but it's done now and I refuse to feel guilty about something I can't go back and change. Today, the leftovers are going to work with me so the boys at work can have them and I'm back on plan.

My reason today: FIVE MONTHS have already passed in 2007!!!!!!!! We are almost halfway done with this year! I have said it already, but 2007 is MY year, and I don't want to let the rest of the year be nonproductive in my weight loss efforts! If I stay on plan JUST FOR TODAY then I can repeat the process again when tomorrow becomes "today" - and this is how I can have success for the rest of 2007 - which, by the way, is MY YEAR!! :lol:

Wow, Ritzy, this year really is flying, isn't it??

I'm staying on plan today because I'm probably going slightly OFF plan tomorrow. This may sound weird to some of you, but I honestly have better weigh-ins when I do a "cheat meal" or something once during the week. It's all about timing and not going too overboard, but I swear it seems to work. Also, my family's in town and they want to go out to eat, so I may just splurge a tiny bit with them. My body seems to want to lose only one pound a week, which I've finally accepted, so I'm slowing things down now and preparing for maintenance. So today -- definitely on plan. Tomorrow -- not so much. If I'm crying next Tuesday about a bad weigh-in, my theory is wrong!! :lol:

Well I just read Tricia's thread about her running a C25K and I tell you I started to tear up just thinking about how far she's come and what she's able to do now and attempt to do that she's lost 48 lbs.

So today's reason is, that the possibilities are endless now. My life is greatly improved. There were so, so, so many things that were simply out of the question when I was heavier. They weren't even in the realm of possibility. I am now a fully active participant in - life. I don't have to be on the sidelines anymore. That's pretty amazing to me. :)

Because I there is no way I am wearing a fat mother-of-the bride dress at my daughter's wedding. Not engaged yet but it's coming!!!

I am staying on plan today for my kids. My son gave me a hug this morning and said "Mom you are getting skinny. I can tell . "

I'm on plan today because we just got home from 5 days at the lake. I was on plan there, but not as good as when I'm home. I'm glad to be back, and ready to kick butt for this week's weigh in!

On a side note, Robin I just saw your ticker! You were still 150 something when I left, and now you're in the 140's...congratulations!!!!

My ONE reason for staying on plan today is......I am 2 pounds from 60 gone, which is my 1/2 mark. And when I hit that number, I'm only 11 pounds from joining all my friends in ONEDERLAND!:carrot:

I am staying on plan today because I have stayed on plan in May, so why can't I end the month staying on plan. Yesterday I felt kind of bad, but stayed on plan, so I can do it today too!!
Bring it on June.... I am ready

I like it. I love shopping for food now, I don't feel that desperate sense of getting all the "good" stuff. I never even SEE the center of the grocery store anymore unless I need diapers or coffee. I stay to the outer aisles, and frankly, I FEEL better. I look better and I am better. Like Robin said, I am a full, active part of my life now. I dont sit by passively watching it all pass me by.

My reason today: Because I want to get to one-derland this year. It can come slowly, that is fine. But I want to see 199 on the scale before I see 1/1/08 on the calendar. I think this is definitely do-able, so do it I will!

My one reason today is because it's the end of the month, so I'm going to finish May sticking to programme and get a jump start on June.

I'm a little late (for some reason couldn't log in for much of today!). Anyway, I've been on plan and will remain on plan today because I want to RUN. I have a feeling I'm going to become obsessive about this but it's something I really, really want. Not to bounce down the road....but to have that light, graceful, long-stride of a seasoned runner! Gotta be on plan for that!

I am staying on plan today because it's a darn good plan. It's healthy and reasonable and DOABLE. :)

Okay - so I did not make the 230's this week like I wanted to......

So - next week - I will (provided TOM does not interfere...... :( )- - - and that is why I am staying on plan today.

Have a great day everyone!!

I am staying on plan today because I am still fat. I have come to far for to long to let a day shopping in town blow my month and my clean eating habits.

I am on plan today because I want to reach that WW goal, and quit paying for meetings!

My ONE reason for staying on plan today is.......tomorrow is weigh in, and I want to be at my halfway point!! (60 pounds gone):D

MrsQuadcrew - Good luck, you can do it. :)

I'm staying OP today because I want to get out of the 2-teens!

The reason I am staying On Plan today is that I want all these rolls of fat gone. Now that I am 16 lbs lighter, I can see the rolls of fat better, I was able to see my thighs and wanted to cry, they have fat just hanging off, my stomach has 2 big rolls( probably accounts for 40 lbs at least) and my upper arm has fat hanging. How did this get so bad? Me not caring , stuffing my face and not moving. ugh I am determined to stay on plan today.

I'm staying on plan today because I'm going to start June off on the best possible note - as far as my weight loss goes, anyway.

I'm staying OP today because I want to get out of the 2-teens!

:lol: I'm staying OP today because I want to get INTO the 2-teens! But only to pass through them, not to stay. ;)

I'm staying on plan today because I didn't yesterday (it was planned). My company's gone now and there's no reason to still be off plan. In fact, I didn't even enjoy splurging all that much. My "cheat meal" tasted good, don't get me wrong, but food just isn't the big joy that it used to be for me. So it tastes good -- big deal. It's sooooo not worth being fat. I can't believe it took me this long to figure that out.

Oh my G-d. I love THIS!!!! Yes, food tastes good- big whoppty do da. I also just don't get the same enjoyment from food that I used to. It tastes good - BIG DEAL!!!!! Or maybe it's that I get sooooo much MORE joy from not being obese. Who knows. Whatever it is - I love it. I know I mentioned that already - but I LOVE it. :smug: :smug: :smug:

By the way, I think this just may be an NSV as well. A HUGE, BIG one in fact. ;)

By the way, I think this just may be an NSV as well. A HUGE, BIG one in fact. ;)

I think so too! :) I have a lot of NSVs to post, actually, but I worry that people get sick of reading them. I can't help it -- my life is changing so much, and so fast, and I can't help talking about it. So prepare for a long NSV post at some point tonight! :lol: You know how I can ramble!

I love that you get what I'm saying. Food that tastes good and is "decadent" is just...well...not that big a deal to me anymore. So much of the food I get to eat "on plan" tastes really good too, and splurging just seems pointless. What am I getting out of it? And yet look what I'm getting out of being thinner and healthier - soooooo much.

I'm staying on plan today because someone called me "fit" yesterday and I still can't get over it! I don't want to ever go back to the body I had before.

When they say put the skinny one in the middle and I realize they are talking about me I blush !
I still have a long way to go.
My sister is now taking karate. My neighbor is now doing the exercise DVD with her Mother and Sister. I am staying on plan today as I have set an example and need to continue being that person who lost all that weight :carrot: !

Okay girls. Let's post our ONE reason over in the June thread now!!!! Wow - it's June already.
