My sentiments exactly!
Tyla That's great about the cravings. A suggestion to break your plateau - try fast cardio. For example, running 3 miles at a comfortable pace is good, but running 1 1/2 miles, sprinting every couple hundred yards is better for losing weight. It dosen't have to be running. It could be anything. Whatever cardio you do, go at a normal pace for a couple minutes then seriously pick up the pace for 30 seconds or so. Try to do this for more than 20 minutes. If a 2 minute - 30 second ratio is too much, spread it out start with 5-7 minutes of regular and 30 seconds fast. Do what you can but incorporate the "really push it" idea and see if that makes a difference. Also, you do strength training right? It might be time time to up your weights. Heavier weights with less reps builds lean muscle better than a comfortable weight with more reps. And of course, muscle burns more calories than fat. But you will need a lot more protein. I'm not sure how Fat Smashers is on protein. Can you eat beans and tofu? What about protein powders, cottage cheese, or Greek yogurt?
xgemziex Hope you're recovering from your hangover.
Congrats on not going back to him. You deserve A LOT BETTER than that! If you start feeling like you're going to cave, remember your own words:

I'm sure you would tell your friends to avoid a guy like this, so you continue to do the same. Stay strong!
Now as for my absence. I was at 137.4 a couple weeks ago. I caved in to the food/sugar pushing Grandma and ended up on a junk food binge for a few days. I had to take naps because I felt so drained. I didn't have time to exercise and honestly I felt bad about coming on 3fc. Up 2 lbs. I got my act together, ate better, exercised like crazy, actually clicked on the 3fc home page but got called away and by the time I got back had to turn off the computer. But had managed to go down 3 lbs to a new low of 136.8. Then friends called and said they were in town for the night. After a couple slices of pizza, some chips and a cinnamon roll, I was up 3 lbs the next day. I was most discouraged and wasn't able to exercise the next day. I ended up snacking on chips and candy and was up another pound to 140.8. Somehow, I was down to 138.4 this morning. BUT I'm eating lunch with Grandma tomorrow who is bound to have Easter candy to send home, and with totm quickly approaching I'm not feeling particularly strong in the resistance category not to mention the water weight gain, and exercise time is going to be severely limited for the next several weeks, so, I am likely to end this challenge where I began at 140. Oh well. I guess I'll be joining the goal weight by 4th of July thread.
on seeing the old flame for what he really was!
into your life!
So are you done with the challenge? 
Oh well, at least it's minor. I stopped as soon as I felt it going. At this rate it will take me a year to work up to a 5k. Or longer!!!
! Ah yes a new week tomorrow but it's also bank holiday Monday which is when I get to celebrate my Easter, every year we go out just us girls so I'm looking forward to it !
