The only "plan" I have is a certain calorie count. Other than that, I make all of m decisions as the day progresses. I keep a running tally of calories consumed in the calculator of my phone and stop eating when I have hit my #. I try to space the amount out well throughout the day...

Congrats on our first week team! Classes started today from me so I dont have time for personals but I wanted to stop in and say hello. Good luck this week!!!

Classes start for me today too! What are you going to school for?

Hey ladies!

Sorry I've been a bit AWOL in the past few days. Everyone is now back with me at uni so I've spent a few days socialising and catching up with my friends :)

I did really well at the houseparty on Saturday and only drank vodka and diet lemonade...not so much yesterday. My friend and I weren't going to drink but as it was the first night back at the Student Union bar, it was jam-packed and we had to queue for an hour in the pouring rain to get in. So by the time we did, we decided to have a few drinks and then I had chips from the burger van when we left at midnight :S bad bad times...
Today I've been good though, tuna salad for lunch and a weight watchers meal and veggies for dinner :)

Exercise-wise: I am HURTING all over. We had our first dance session of the term yesterday which was and hour and a half of energetic modern-jazz dancing and then an hour and a half of flexibility-improving stretches and general body conditioning. I literally feel like I've been hit by a double-decker bus. But the pain means it's working right?!

Hope everyone's having a good week!

PS. I passed my driving theory!!!! Full marks (50/50) on the theory questions and 54/75 on the Hazard Perception (you only need 45 to pass) :D

this is exactly me, although i like things to be a little more tactile, so i physically write my intake down.

i don’t always stop at my number though, which is something i need to get back to.

katy, well done with vodka drinks! sorry you followed it up with not such a great night, but at least you’re back on track. congrats on the test!!! and congrats on that full-body soreness of your’s ;)

Hey Team :) This is just another quick check in. I'm still on plan so that's awesome for me. I also went to buy a new shirt for work today and fit into an 18 :) I'm very excited about that as it means I'm getting even closer to what I call "normal people sizes" instead of "plus size". I'll get there eventually. I hope everyone else is having a good week!!!

Hey everyone. Just seeing how everyone is doing on this Wednesday or Thursday (wherever you live!). Scale looked really good this morning. Hubby has a doctor's appointment this morning and then I have to turn some papers into the school...besides that it's going to be a long, boring & cold day! Tomorrow we are under a "Winter Weather Advisory" due to the fact that we are suppose to get 2-4 inches of snow...although I hate winter...I don't really care at this point if we get anymore snow because my daughter loves it! LOL. ----Hope everyone has a great day! :)

have a stomach virus... this is awful!!!

HI Im going for my Liberal Arts degree now( work for an accounting firm) but I plan to transfer to get my finance or accounting degree how about you?

Southernbell- hope you feel better

Last week I spend most of my time working back down to 225 this week im trying to make it back to my low and beyond! So far this has been a great week diet and fitness wise so im hoping to get a nice Woosh sometime this week as long as I stay o/p with diet. Ive been in the 220s for several months and I need to get out. For some reason it takes me a VERY long time to lose ten lbs lol i know my diet is usually a little lose so my g oal is to tighten up on my calories. I want to make ONEDERLAND within the next 3 months

JLNichols07 – Did you get that snow??

KimL1214 – Sorry to hear about your ear problems. I’m glad you mentioned that they have them for adults as I only thought they were for youngsters! Hopefully you feel better soon.

southernbelle102 – Awww.. You poor thing. Make sure you take care of yourself and up the fluids.

Matilda08 – Congrats on having an on plan week! I’m sure you’ll make it out of the 220’s in no time. You’re so close.

Wednesday Question~ What's your dinner plan for tonight!?
I’m opting for a Chicken Stir Fry with Udon Noodles. It’s not heavily vegetable packed, just corn, beans and capsicum but I like it and it fills me up. I’m probably due to try out a new recipe for dinner but the Stir Fry doesn’t require any brain power to put together.

So I’m going to throw out a question.. I was asked out on a date this week and I’m not sure whether to go or not. It’s a bit of a complicated story as this guy asked my friend to pass on my number to him so he could call and ask me out. My friend says he’s a nice guy but I feel a little bit weird about going out with someone I haven’t seen in the flesh before. I’m also not sure I want to jump back into the dating game just yet. I feel like if I’m not happy with my body etc etc, why would anyone else be. I guess I’m just rambling...

Peanut: It's just now about it hit us ...we are suppose to get 2-4 inches now...and its going to start later on tonight into the morning! So it's deff coming!

Thanks guys... I am already feeling a lot better. I was able to keep down some broth and a few bites of Mac and Cheese tonight. I hope to feel even better in the morning!

On a side note:
I have been wearing the same t-shirts (just around the house and to sleep in) since I started my weight-loss journey nearly 120 lbs ago. Those 2x shirts that were once too tight on me are now ridiculously baggy. So, I went in my closet and found some t-shirts that I saved from my sorority days in college. I thought they were XLs. I tried a few on and they all fit. Some were actually a bit loose, some a little bit tight and some that fit perfectly. I looked at their size labels and the are all size Large!!! That is crazy to me. I can't believe I can actually fit into a Large again!!! I am so excited. Just had to share!:D

Peanut - If you feel uncomfortable with dating right now then maybe you should just wait a bit more before getting into the dating scene again. However, it could be a lot of fun to meet someone new... even if it doesn't go anywhere. :)
