Hi girls,
I had a bit of a loss today which surprised me since I had a little too many sweets yesterday and hadn't exercised much in three days. But today I got over 40 minutes on the treadmill and my eating was on plan.
Hey everyone! Eghhh......so I haven't been around much lately. Sorry. I'm here now...and determined to get on track. My husband and I are going on a cruise in January. It is booked for January 2nd through 6th....we are leaving on New Year's Day! I'm so excited. I have never seen the ocean, and both my husband and I really need a vacation. I'm determined to lose weight and feel confident during my vacation and not be thinking about how fat I am all the time.
So keep reminding me of my vacation if I start slacking off.....this is going to be a busy semester and I have no idea how I'm going to fit in time for work, school, exercise, and family....I'm going to have to be very disaplined and not let myself get behind. So I may need you ladies to kick my butt
So for this week's challenge.... maybe everyone could pamper themselves and then post about it. It looks like a lot of us (myself included) are having a hard time really staying on plan. So I'm going to try and just take care of myself this week (maybe paint my nails and take a super long bath).
I had a nsv yesterday. I have a friend that's getting married at the end of Sept. so I went to Dillards and Belk and tried on cocktail dresses. If the dress had a little stretch in it I wore a 14!! And it looked pretty good, if the dress didn't have any stretch I wore a 16. The crazy amazing part of this for me is that this isn't in the Womens or plus size sections!! I cried in the dressing room, because I never expected them to fit. I tried on like 8 or 10 dresses and they pretty much all fit. I think I'm going to have a hard time choosing a dress because I liked so many of them (I've never had that problem before). It was insane! I also went and had a bra fitting because I've not had bras that actually fit properly since I started loosing weight.
Tessa, that's a great story! Don't take that for granted. Even when I was a size 4 or 6, I would try on 20 dresses and be lucky if 1 of them fit. I just don't have a normal body shape.
I'm moving in TWO DAYS! We've got 2 friends coming into town tomorrow night and staying until Sunday, to help us out, which means more eating at restaurants (especially because we let our food supply run pretty low). I'm feeling much more motivated to stay under control this time, though, after seeing what happened last weekend.
I'm 1.4 pounds above last Friday's weight right now (which I used for my challenge weigh-in because I forgot to weigh Saturday and Sunday). That is down a lot from the 6+ pounds I was up on Monday, but I'm still hoping to drop some more before Sunday's weigh-in. I haven't been the most *regular* this week, so I wouldn't be surprised if that, er, catches up with me, and I drop some weight really quickly.

As usual, I'm struggling too, mrsaugie. I think I've been struggling with losing weight ever since I've joined 3FC (and beyond) ... which reminds me, I'm back up 3 pounds this week, gotta be water! I'm like you, tho ... one day at a time!
I know what you mean girls. Let's really try to stay on plan at least one day this weekend. Weigh In is on Sunday, there's a good reason to try and focus on eating right.
