Because I weighed myself AGAIN this morning, just to make sure that the 11-pound loss was not a fluke. :D

because I haven't lost much weight lately and i need to get back to it

If I can stay within my calorie range on a day like yesterday, today should be a breeze.

because life is too short to spend it being this fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will stay on plan today because I did it yesterday - it felt good to wake up with no food hangover, a bloated feeling, shame, etc.

Because I didn't track yesterday and ate way more points than I thought! :o

Because I want to be able to wear jeans without them being uncomfortably tight in the waist.

because I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

because I want to be comfortable in a movie theater chair again

Because I ate way too much sodium yesterday and it showed on the scale.

Because TOM is not an excuse to mainline carbs. (When am I going to get that through my thick skull???)

I want to have more energy and feel good about my body! I want to look in the mirror and think,"Hey, i like my body!" I want my self-confidence back! :) Also, for the health!

Because after bouncing up to 233 last week, I am finally back to 228 and ready to drop that ticker even lower!

Because I want to get hired, 6 years of university deserves a job. I want to make it easy to hire me.

Because I want to get hired, 6 years of university deserves a job. I want to make it easy to hire me.

Because I don't need the anxiety of yet another New Year resolution. So better start making some change NOW!!

because every day eating right is another step to being fit and healthy

Because I think I could hit 227 by Christmas, my lowest ever, and only for five minutes adult weight.

And because I tried on a shirt I wore in COLLEGE (not grad school, actual undergrad college, aka 21 y.o. or less) and I could imagine it fitting soon.

Because I am making progress. Even if it doesn't say I am on the scale, I'm still eating better and exercising more.

because I want my outside to match my inside.

... because the scale is FINALLY moving in the right direction again -- and I just can't bear to cover this ground another time!!!

...because I don't care if I'm stressed out and in the midst of the busiest work month possible or that I have my period and am crampy and bloated and so hungry I could eat my own arm. None of those things are excuses, and overcoming the obstacles will make the pounds I lose this week even more sweet.

Because I can see my back fat getting smaller!! I want it GONE!

Because I posted a good loss this week and I don't want to go and mess it up!

Because I want to join the 100 lb lost club by New Years. Only 9.4 lbs to go.

Because I am close to saying goodbye to the "two" as the first digit in my weight.

Because I want to weigh less than 200 pounds!

because IM NOT GIVING UP, this is the way i live now

because I've been so lazy lately.

I screwed up once already, I want to feel even better than I do now... Oh and I want to treat myself to some Marc Jacobs accessories when I lose my next stone!! :)

I will stay on plan today because I have gotten one pound closer to onederland and I want to continue on the journey.

I love this!!!!
and also b/c I want to be able to wear whatever I want and be HAPPY!!!

because im like my saggy empty skin...its alot better than being filled with fat!!!

So true!

because I'm going to reach a new decade and hit a new mini-goal and change my chickie SOON.

because i'm so close to my next mini goal i can taste it

I am now getting compliments from men and I want it to continue alot

because i had a 3 lb loss from my last WI, and I want to keep it up!

because i want to win slimmer of the week at my slimming group next week :)
