IrishRose - Walmart has the BEST frozen dinners for the lowest price I've found. Love their 2 dollar lean cuisines!

As for weigh-in, I'm ready! Can't wait til next weeks weigh in tho, I'm hoping to make a significant drop!

Let's get it ladies!

I'm really nervous for WI!! I have been doing great and even lost 2.8 pounds on my WI on Friday. But today was an off day for me and I didn't eat at my normal times all day long so I got out of whack and have been munching on fruit ALL night!! Ah! I need to go to bed I am to snacky tonight. :(

I weighed.... Good ol' PMS water retention....I've seen a lower number this week, but still it's -1.43% so I can't complain.

Gekster (you're the only one who weighed before me) woohoo! That's an awesome loss, congratulations!

Other ladies, I know you did good aswell, I'm eager to see your numbers, let's rock and beat Pinks! :carrot:

I weighed in and it looks like last weekend's weigh in high of 210 was mostly water retention from food and alcohol, thank goodness. I'm down 3.57% which is great!!! And I'm closer to Onederland than I've ever been in my entire adult life and probably since about 13. I'm excited, nervous and many other things. Hopefully I'll be there soon!

Sending good weigh loss karma and good eeigh in dust to all mt Red Lace teammates!!! hugs!!

Irish Rose - Way to resist the Milk Duds!

toastedsmoke - Wow! Congrats on the new low, you will be in onderland before you know it!

Off to post my weight. Down again this morning. :-)

I'm so happy that it looks like everyone has done pretty good this week! I'm proud of you girls =D! I'm down -3lbs, so I can finally say good riddance to all my holiday weight! I also took some pics yesterday, I hope you all don't mind if I post them here? They're kind of my first progress pics with a glimpse of my body >.< (probably because up until yesterday, I have still hated it with a passion). But I hit a milestone, realizing I actually kind like it now =o

This was me at my highest, 234lbs T_T this was actually taken day two of my journey.

My first week wasn't the best, and I was really worried for weigh-in. But, I did lose a little bit, so that was a relief. Only 0.2%, but it's something.

Bleh. I weighed in, but with only a 0.7 pound loss. I know, any loss is a good loss, but I was so positive after not gaining all throughout the holiday period!
Oh well.

Sunday's question: First week was not that great, I ate more calories on a couple of days than I meant to and I didn't get any proper exercise in - I guess I can't really blame anyone but myself for the lack of loss then!

Congrats to all of you with losses and lets keep going!

I was excited for weigh in because I lost 4 pounds which was 4 of the 7 I gained during just Christmas. Only 3 more and I will be down to pre Christmas weight! woohoo!

Sundays Question: First week was good. I ate lower calories than usually at the start of the week and gradually got higher as the week went on. I wasnt all that proud of fridays dinner of mexican food!

Jelbelle - You are looking fabulous!

Just looked at the weigh-in thread and some of you guys put up AMAZING numbers this week. Way to go!

Hey Ladies! Sorry I'm joining the thread late but it's been a busy and tiring week. I just got all caught up with the messages and am really looking forward to getting to know you all better!

This week hasn't been the greatest for me with having to readjust to my class schedule and TOM arriving. I'm just glad I had a loss! Hopefully next week's weigh-in will go better. Good luck everyone :)

Jelbelle, you really look good! You look a lot slimmer and I can't believe you're 190, you just look smaller :)

Hmm....already a pound down since yesterday so definitely, it was water retention, oh well, I'll have a better number next Sunday.

I think, overall my week was good. I ate a bit more for Christmas, but it was only one day, I exercised and it's been nine days since I binged for the last time....so, a good week :)

First week was not what I wanted at all. I had a tough time getting back on track after two weeks of holidays and vacation from work. I felt hungry all the time! I did manage to lose 0.6 lbs which is something considering for most of the week the scale was going up!

This week I have a plan to get back on plan! My boyfriend is 100% behind me which is great, he goes to the gym with me 3 days a week and then I go once alone and meet with my personal trainer. So the workout part I am doing great with, its the food part I need to get back under control.

Hope everyone has a great week!

My first week was good.
Although yesterday I nearly had a meltdown that really could have derailed me. About 7 pm last night I decided to finally try on the gown I ordered for the ball (which is in 2 weeks). It looked a little small when it came in so I put my corset on underneath it aaaannnnndd....it doesn't fit. I would have to loose 10 pounds just of back fat to get it to fit. Sigh..... so frustrating...
But that's not even the part that got me going. Now I have to make myself a gown on top of the two I am already making. I hate making clothes for myself- I never like how they turn out and I always end up feeling like a blob.
So last night I was frantically trying to piece together enough fabric to make a gown. I think it will okay but now I definately feeling the time crunch. I almost just wanted to scrap everything and cancel the whole excursion.
Sigh.....I am just going to have to dig deep, not let this get me down and carry on.
Although I have decided that as a reward and a pick me up-- if I don't let the stress get me down, keep on track with weight loss, and get all the gowns done in a timely manner-- I'm gonna get my makeup done for the ball, it'll be one less thing for me to worry about,
