...

Because my weight somehow got to 15 pounds above my ticker. After vacation and sickness I fell out of my groove

It's too depressing to change. =/

I'm SOP today because I want those RUNNERS! I promised myself if I stayed OP for one full week, I could buy myself new running shoes.

Also... because you guys are all so inspiring! Lots of NSVs on this thread!! :D Great job everyone!

...Because I love seeing my body change, especially knowing how hard I've worked... and I know how amazing it will feel once I reach goal :)

I'm SOP today because I CAN!

Because seeing my old clothes makes me want to cry. :(

And seeing my new clothes makes me HAPPY :) :carrot:

Because yesterday was a bit of a slip up, and I need to get back on track today. I need to keep going. Losing weight makes me feel good, so it is worth the "sacrifice." It's worth the extra work.

Because I'm more than halfway there now, and I CAN do this!!

Because all this exercise has me feeling great! I want to feel like this all the time!

...to make up for the extra slice of pizza I had last night. And because I'm on a roll; 8 straight days without a gain! :D

tomorrow is my official weigh-in day and would like to see another lb lost lol

...because I'm not giving up.

I'm SOP today because I feel like garbage and if I don't, I'll just feel worse.

..because it's Day One and if I screw up today that means there's just no damn hope for me. LOL. (kidding.)

....because I'm going to dinner with all the skinny wives tonight and I don't want to be the fat girl eating the cream soup and pasta.

Oooh, Les, yours is my favorite! LOL

...plain and simple.. because I feel like crap when I don't stay on plan and I feel great when I do...

I'm staying on plan tomorrow (as it is 10 at night and I shouldn't be eating any more) because I went off plan at breakfast (well, not technically, but it wasn't the most healthful, satisfying breakfast) and I was cranky and felt like crap the rest of the day, and really had to fight to stay on something even moderately resembling plan.

Because I got invited to a party a month away and I want my butt to look cute in my jeans. (Superficial much, Lisa? :))

Because I'll have so much more energy if I continue to lose weight.

Because I am not giving up hope on buying a new bikini!

because I am finally back on track and on my way to a healthy lifestyle.

I feel bloated, my leg feels weird (lack of exercise, i think :shrug:), and I'm up to 240 on the scale...again

Because I don't want to die of a heart attack or increase my risk of breast cancer because I was too FAT.

Because I want to be a source of inspiration for my best friend.

..because my progress motivates me.

Because I only have one more pound to go before I've lost an even 10!!!

Because I saw my reflection today when I was shopping and actually thought, "wow..not bad" :)

Because pretty soon I think I can fit into my size 12 jeans again. The size 14s are feeling quite baggy

....because although I cheated, I feel terrible about it and Phase 2 is calling my name!

Because I went ridiculously off plan yesterday, and if I keep it up I'm NEVER going to get to my damn goal! So not only am I sticking exactly to my plan all day today, I vow to keep it up all week! Wish me luck :D

Because I want to experience the feeling of putting on a pair of jeans, and realizing there to big

Because I want to be healthy!!!

Because I am in control of my body, not the other way around.
