This thread is all about the ONE reason we are going to stay on plan today. Of course there are tons of excellent reasons to. But we're just wondering what's the ONE thing
that's gonna do it for you today. It is meant to motivate us when we start wondering why we're working so hard and thinking "Ummm, why are we doing this again?". Or simply just to reinforce our new lifestyles. :smug:

The ONE reason why I'm staying OP is because people are starting to notice that I'm losing the fat. My thighs are smaller and my stomach is starting to shrink as well.

The ONE reason I am staying on plan today is: Because with the next 8 lbs gone, I won't obese anymore. I won't be obese anymore. I really like the sound of that.

The one reason for me is because I had to get my summer clothes out yesterday and a pair of shorts I couldn't button last summer I buttoned yesterday. Granted they were tight but they buttoned!! And that was so encouraging!

The one reason I'm staying OP today is 5 lbs. from now I will be overweight not obese. I'll meet you there Robin. I wish my weight was as low as yours though. It is amazing the difference in what one has to weigh to get out of the obese category when you are shorter. I always wanted to be shorter.
rockinrobin
05-01-2007, 10:30 AM
Yeah, Sharon it is something the difference in what is non obese according to different heights. But I'm not too upset about it. Yesterday I bought 2 size 6 skirts and all of my shirts now are sized small. I still don't get it. But nevertheless I am definitely looking forward to losing the title.
You on the otherhand are soooo close to NOT being obese and even closer to ONEderland. You go girl!!!! Woohoo!!!

Today -- I feel great, I worked really hard yesterday at Curves and don't want to ruin the progress I made. Even though it's not reflected on the scale yet, I know it will be in the next few days as long as I take it one day at a time!

The one reason I'm stay on plan today is because I woke up 10 minutes early, and rearranged everything to make today's points work!! I'm going to a banquet tonight - where I have no idea what the menu is. But I cut out in different places during the day to save up extra points for just in case.
LisaMarie71
05-01-2007, 11:20 AM
Way to plan ahead, gr8smyl!! VERY wise -- congratulations!
I'm staying on plan today because my plan has given me amazing results. Why wouldn't I stick with it? I've lost 89 pounds. I'm 11 pounds away from having a 100-pound loss. This is really happening!
Mrs Quadcrew
05-01-2007, 11:24 AM
My ONE reason for staying on plan today is....I KNOW that scale is gonna read less than 220 this Friday.....and that'll be 50+ pounds gone and almost 40 inches gone since the first of the year!

The one reason I want to stay on plan today is I want a cheat free week. That includes the following no more bungling carbs, no "I'll double up exercise tommorrow" and no " do I count lickings on the spoon".
I am going to have to tighten up on my diet and exercise if I am going to tighten up these fat cells !

The One reason I'm staying OP today is because my WI this morn was so much better than expected. I had several small-but-healthy cheats during my DD's 16th B'day party on Sat., thinking my next WI would be over a week away. I got phoned yesterday to come in today; I still tested in ketosis, weight loss averaged 1/2 lb per day, and obviously I'm learning the right skills to "indulge" without the worst result!

You said it, Beth!! Kudos for your quick thinking at work. Evenings are the worst for me, but now I am spending time at the computer instead of in the kitchen.
The one reason I am staying OP today is that, as of right now, I feel totally in control - and I love it!:carrot:

I stayed on plan today - because I had the morning from Hades, I got side-swiped and the other driver drove away, the highway was backed up and I got to work an hour late, things were a little rough there, other than that it was a great day. Anyways - I stayed on plan and I was so happy about that - I seriously wanted to attack the potato chips.
So - I am going to stay on plan tomorrow - because it has got to be a better day and that just means it's going to be a much easier challenge to stay on plan.

I am staying on plan today because Sunday I have a huge shin dig with hubby's side of the family. They haven't seen me yet since the weightloss, well his siblings and parents have, but not the cousins and aunts and uncles and all. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! So, I'll stay on plan, wouldn't mind being a little lighter come Sunday night AND they'll be lots of tempting food there, so I better be real good this whole week.

I am staying on plan today because I have a a stubborn pound that won't go away. I know if I get focused and stay on plan that pound will slowly go away. It's is just one pound- but it is the one that makes 45 total and my BMI go to 30.
LisaMarie71

I'm staying on plan today because I have some busy weekends coming up that may include some off-plan eating (for example, a wine festival this Saturday...) I want to make sure I stay strictly on plan during the week in case I have a few little splurges on weekends.
Angihas2
05-02-2007, 11:38 AM
I'm staying on plan because during the time I was offline, I spent that time maintaining my 50 lb loss, adjusted to it, came to terms with the mental stuff, and feel so much more in control. I can quit focusing on the #'s so much and start focusing on the feelings. I like being in control, I like telling that inner fat<ter> chick to shut the &^%$ up, because I do NOT need junk food to get through a crisis, it only makes it worse. I feel so much stronger mentally and emotionally. I like it!

I'm staying on plan today because my son's wedding is in 15 weeks! Gotta get those upper arms smaller!:tantrum:
I sure hope when I get my arms small enough for my mother-of-the-groom dress that I still HAVE a rear end! It is actually getting BONY, and I have to sit on a pillow to be comfortable! Why, oh why, can't I send some of my arm fat to my rear?!!!!:(
boaterswife
05-02-2007, 11:05 PM
This is early for tomorrow, but here's my reason anyway! In my former life (before WW & 3FC) TOM used to just cause havoc in my life. I ate like a vacuum cleaner! Well, TOM came by today, and I just realized my eating hasn't changed. No cravings, no searching for food. Just me, on plan. If I can make it through the Pre-TOM, and the day he arrives, then I can certainly make it through the downhill slide tomorrow!
I am staying on plan today because yesterday I took a much longer than expected walk and thought that I would be super sore today, but I'm not - I feel great! I also had a meeting tonight were there was a ton of food, but nothing remotely healthy. So, I just skipped the whole buffet - I haven't been that strong in a long, long while!

rockinrobin
05-03-2007, 07:58 AM

I'm really motivated to stay OP today, as I've been watching all those digits beside the "2" on my scale count down... this morning, "00"! And when I've finished the really hard dieting, I finally KNOW how to maintain it despite certain health obstacles, so this time it's PERMANENT!

Well LisaMarie- Get to the Doc and get this figured out ! I hope you feel better soon.
I am staying on plan today as I am camping this weekend and it is possible I might fall off plan. I don't fall off that easily but playing cards with old friends might do me in.
I looked this morning and it seems I dropped another pound.It's not offical and I want to see it on Monday for sure before I change my ticker.

I'm staying on plan today because I DIDN'T yesterday. I don't know what happened to me -- I came home early and then just snacked all evening. I don't really know what to do with myself when I can't exercise. My foot has GOT to heal quickly! I didn't have too much of a setback yesterday -- I think I was somewhere between 2000 and 2200 calories, which is a lot but it could've been worse.
And after all that, I'm going to a wine festival today! I'm just going to enjoy it and take sips here and there, but I don't plan to go crazy.

rockinrobin
05-06-2007, 10:47 AM
Weigh-in day tomorrow. I want so badly to be in the 150's. So that's today's reason. It might be a tad difficult as I have a huge dinner tonight with hubby's side of the family. A catered event in which the hosts (hubby's cousin) father is one of the best caterers EVER. So my plan is to keep it kinda low today calorie wise, and have little tastes of this and that tonight. Little tastes. Little tastes. Moderation. Moderation. Portion control. Portion control. I own the 150's. I own the 150's. Little tastes of this and that. Little, tiny tastes. .... she repeats over and over as she tries to hypnotize herself .............
:cheer2: rockinrobin: If anyone can do it, you can! :cheer2:
The one reason I'm staying o.p. today is that I really, really need to if I want to pull it out for the week. For the past two days I have held it together pretty well through three parties and other temptations. There is no scale at our beach house (wonder why? :p ), so I'm a little nervous about w.i. tomorrow. Back on track today...wish me luck!

Good luck, LWM!
I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I was traveling on Friday and Saturday. Actually, ate ok. Friday I was a tad over in calories...but Saturday I was under. However, I think because I had 2 restaurant meals in a row (both evenings were out) that I ate more sodium than I was used to. Now, restaurant food tastes really salty to me! Also, being on the road for hours, I didn't want a TON of bathroom breaks so I cut way back on the water....so that didn't help sodium. Anyway, this morning showed up 3 from Friday morning. I KNOW in my head that there is NO WAY I gained 3 pounds in 2 days. I'm just hoping some of it settles out before tomorrow morning!!! It's keeping me extra diligent today. On the bright side, though, I know it's a water fluctuation and not true weight gain and that makes me SMILE! :D

I am so on plan today, and tomorrow for that matter! Just got home from a weekend at the lake. Portion control was good and I managed to stay where I should, but I didn't get to weigh in on Saturday, for the first time since August. I need to be sure to stay on track so I don't get a surprise this Saturday at my weigh in!

The reason I am staying on my plan today is I want to be happy and healthy, which for me goes hand in hand. This morning for the first time in months , maybe a few years, I had the energy to run around with my 9 yr old before the bus came to pick her up. You know what she said to me? " Mommy you have so much energy today, why? You never have energy". It made me feel sad that I have been so sluggish for the past but at the same time Happy that I am feeling better. I am eating good, and all ready did my exercise for the day, so I am going to keep on eating good today and have a good day.:carrot:

I am staying on plan - because I have come to realize that I am really adapting to this way of life.......
Last night - I guess you could say I had an "AHA" moment - a KFC commercial came on, for one of their "KFC Bowls" - now I have always enjoyed KFC - but I have not had it in about a year.... and I have never had one of their bowls but always wanted to try it because they looked so good. But for the first time - their food did not look "YUMMY" to me - I just looked at it and thought - "Nope - does not look tasty at all".

I'm staying on plan today for clothes. I can't WAIT to get down to my "maintenance" size so I won't feel bad spending some money on clothes. All these transition clothes have kind of eaten at the wallet a little, which is bad since I'm perpetually broke anyway. I can't wait to be able to shop and know that I won't have to toss the items aside soon because they're too big. Yes, it's a good problem to have -- but it's getting annoying too!

Today's ONE reason: I want to show my children how very important it is to take care of one's self. I spent so many years being fat and inactive, I want them to see that change is possible. I want them to see the benefits of eating healthy and exercising. I don't ever want them to go down the same road that I did.

Yay Quadcrew ! Isn't great ! When you get in that range so much seems more possible than before !

I want to stay on Plan today because I want to be able to buy clothing that fit me , and my curves, not something to hide my fat. I don't know about anyone else, but I have bought clothes the last 16 months that are too small for me( pants actually) and am too angry at my self, or embarrased to take them back, so I have enough pants to fit me as I loose weight. I have a rubbermaid box 1/2 full of clothes that don't fit:( , and I know one day they will. Today I am wearing this clothes from Walmart, that don't fit at all correctly. The shirt is way too big, and teh pants fit some in the waste, but my legs are smaller than other people who where a size 24-26 so they are really loose. I have bought things at lane bryant and sometimes a 24 will fit, and other times no. So I am staying on plan to be able to fit into better fitting clothes.

Because the little things that happen along the way (see NSV thread) are what make this journey so motivational and exciting. I don't want to go back to the days where all I did was dread the day instead of being excited about what other little NSV will come my way. The latter is definitely more desirable than the former. ;) Why go back to the old self? I say it ISN'T worth one little donut, chicken fried steak, or milkshake! What do you say?? :lol:

The photos will come one of these days, Robin, but I'm just not ready to ask one of my kiddos to take one yet. DD is a shutterbug, and with lake season starting I'm sure she'll have her camera out. This year it will be my goal to NOT hide from the camera!
Today's one reason for staying on plan is that I weighed in (finally, I missed last Saturday) and lost two pounds. Sounds great, but the losses were much higher earlier on (that two pounds was over two weeks), and I'm sure it's because there are little places where I maybe am not as diligent as before. I haven't consciously done anything different, but I know that if I get back to the basics with my program, my body will respond! I am ON PLAN!

My one reason for staying on track today is that I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I lost one pound Easter week and then started eating . . . . . .came up for air last week and had gained 8 pounds. I feel ashamed and ugly and worthless, and I don't want to feel that way anymore. I know from experience that getting back on track and taking care of myself for just a few days helps to turn my brain around and will help me start to feel better mentally, which helps get some positive momentum. I need that so much.

Today I am staying OP because I want to be able to shop at Victoria's secret. Victorias secret opened up in my area in the 90's by that time I was about 200 lbs and growing. I am tired of wearing drab bras and panties.
I want to wear lace and satin, and look good in it. I am very small chested, gaining weight made my chest get bigger, now that I am loosing weight, my chest is shrinking. I am in a bra 44 B, I used to be 36 A ( yrs ago), and would like to get back to a 36 A again. I want to wear a bra that is pink, or orange, or blue, I want to pass Victoria Secret in the Mall and not look away , because I can't shop there.
Hope you all don't think I am materialistic, I know the weight loss is about being healthy, feeling good,but being able to do this will make me feel good.
Have a good day. Cheryl

Fooled, you have many more new decades heading your way, and I can't wait for you to get to each one! It is so much fun, and you CAN do this!
HelloKitty.....you've read my mind! I too want the pink, blue and orange bras that match the panites....I want everything coordinated, no more white and beige!
My reason for being on plan today is because I don't have time to be fat. Does that make sense? I don't have time for the lack of energy, for the back ache, for the blahs, and for the intense amount of energy it takes to move this bod around when it's not at it's optimum performance level....and when I'm overweight, I'm not at my best level. Time to kick it up a notch!!

I don't want orange or red or bunny rabbit pink- I want it in"evil temptress" black satin. I haven't lost much in my top- but am thinking in another ten pounds I will need new underwear. I want a set of something to buy just for me.
I am staying on plan today as I am doing really good and want to see 175 this month.
Is is possible ?
Probably not- but 170 something is going to happen before June !

WOW! 20 pounds away from goal! Amazing :) I am sure there are many other amazing reasons in here but as I am new and haven't read the entire thread, let me chime in with mine for now:
I am staying on plan today because today I decide to love myself enough to make the best, healthiest choices for ME!
The one reason that I am staying o.p. today is that I love the May points challenge. I have already given myself full points for today, even though the day is not over. There is no way I'll stray now...I couldn't bear to go back and edit my number!!!

My ONE reason: TOM is here as well as lots and lots of stress. TOM will always be here, well not always, there IS menapause, but you know what I mean. Lots of stress, well that will really ALWAYS be around. Yes, some times more then others. Well this is one of those MORE time. My DD is undergoing some medical testing and they think she may have a permenant debilitating digestive/intestinal disease. So, yeah, it's been real worrisome and scary. I must learn to not turn to food during these times. Yesterday was a bit - rough - to say the least. I managed to eek out a decent day, but it wasn't easy. Oh, was this always supposed to be easy? I will stay on plan today. I will stay on plan today. I WILL stay on plan today. Though it won't be ....... easy.

Rockinrobin keep up that positive attitude. You and your family will be okay.
By the way the TOM does go away but sometimes it comes back after several months and I don't mean when your pregnant. That is most definately an aspect of menopause that I have dealt with.
The one reason I'm staying OP today my husband finally said something about my weight loss in bed last night. He doesn't makes compliments easily so when he does I take notice immediately.

The one reason I'm staying on plan today is because I had a slip up yesterday (McDonalds for dinner) and I'm determined that it's only going to be a slip up and I'm not going to reacquire those bad habits.
Thing was, I didn't really enjoy the meal - fries were incredibly salty and greasy and it was so tasteless...

I'm staying on plan today because it makes my life easier. Before I started this, I thought it would be too difficult to be on plan all the time, but now I can't even imagine how I dealt with the difficulties of being obese. Limiting my calories is quite easy compared to living a life of discomfort and poor health.

OMG Robin! :hug: You together with your DD will be in my thoughts for the near future, and I hope the tests will prove it to be something a little less serious.... Boy we don't know what we sign on for, when we become mothers (& wives)!:spin:

Thank you all so much for your kind wishes. It means so much to me. The doctors believe she may have Crohn's disease. She had a colonoscopy yesterday (not fun for anyone, yet alone a 19 year old) and blood tests today. We should know better in a week or two. Right now she is being treated as if she has it. We are still hoping that it turns out to be something a little less serious. I will let you all know. And again thank you so much for you good wishes.

Robin, even if your DD has some form of inflammatory bowel disease, there will be dietary strategies that help. You will be able to support her in this, just because of your own recent history, changing eating habits and gaining back your health.
It seems another part of parenting is the stuff we do, which are models one way or the other, for our kids; these experiences are also useful when life gets very stressful! In fact, my DD recently told me she's now trying to eat much healthier, move more, and make better choices, because of watching my progress toward better health. Let's all keep up our new good habits, as sometimes it's more than our own health at stake!

I thank you all again for the continued support and good wishes for my daughter. I spoke with the doctor again last night and says I should be prepared for a diagnosis of Crohns., but he says he has been surprised a couple of times and therefore we will just have to wait (anxiously I might add) and see.
Today's ONE reason: I'll just leave it at one word - HEALTH.
LisaMarie71
05-17-2007, 07:49 AM
Robin, I don't know much about Crohn's disease, but I do know your daughter is lucky to have such a strong mother, and one who has educated herself about nutrition as well! It's fortunate that you've made yourself so much healthier, because it will make you stronger and more able to handle the diagnosis and whatever comes next.
My one reason today is because I can't wait to see the 170s, and I'm close!
royalsfan1
05-17-2007, 08:06 AM
Lisa, you ARE close! Woohoo!
My reason today is that below 200 is actually, finally, becoming a reality for me. I admit, when I first started I just regarded this entire thing as a pipe dream. Yes, I wanted it and was willing to work for it...but in my heart I never thought it would happen. I thought it was going to be another failed attempt. How's that for positive thinking, huh?!?! Anyway, I'm less than 18 pounds from the 200 mark....and I can't believe it. My reason today is that I can do this day by day...and I'll get there!

Penney

My reason for staying OP today is that some of my pants art starting to show some room - so I went and bought some pants in the next size smaller (OMG - I can't believe I actually get to write that!) anyway - it is very close - so I want to be able to wear them in the next 3 weeks!!
But, I did find some pants from last year, different brand, but even though they are the same size that I have been wearing for months - they still would not fit.... anyway - tried them on last night and THEY FIT!
So - OP - because in 3 weeks - I want to be wearing my new pants!!!

I am staying on Plan today, because usually when I get my period I use it as an excuse to be lazy, not exercise and eat more. Well so far I haven't, and I exercised too. After 36 yrs of having my period I still hate it, and I would like to overcome this, it is part of being of women and is natural. So I am staying on plan today because I can have my period and feel crappy , but still be healthy.
Because I tried on a pair of shorts that were in the bottom of my drawer. I hadn't seen them since I moved to California this past August. They were a 22W and they fit. Now I want them to be loose on me.
Also after struggling for the past couple of months, I am 1.4 from my starting point at WW and I want to get below that, thank you very much :)

and I really enjoyed buying clothes for the first time in a very very long time. I am still really heavy but I liked seeing a smaller number on the tag.
Some fit - some didn't they all had a smaller number but were different brands. That was just weird. Anyway - it was just so nice.\
Now I want to wear all of them!

And really, just for today I can do this, because THIS TIME it's different!!!

By the way- on Fitday when you are no longer obese- you are just "severe overweight". After you are no longer "severe overweight" you become "moderate overweight" until you are" healthy weight".

And robin, you'll definitely meet that 153 goal very soon, and any chart that calls you "obese" is just completely absurd anyway! You look AMAZING!

Sirak, according to Fitday I was never obese. Which is ridiculous. I am currently in the "severe overweight" catergory, and at 153 I will be in the "moderate overweight" category. I just think they use different terminology. They don't use the word "obese" or morbidly obese either. Whatever. It's all semantics. I am what I am. Thanks for the compliment. :hug:
Today's ONE reason: There's just no reason not to stay on plan. Yes, it's harder some days, this has been a TOUGH week for me. Eating wise and exercise wise. But somehow, some way I'll get through it. Going off plan is not an option. No matter what.

I don't feel bad about it -- I just know that I have to get right back on track today, as always. Those cookies were GOOD, but I wish I'd only had one!
