But congratulations to EVERYONE else! Meredith, what are you doing to lose weight? You lose so quickly!

Dont worry vday! Youll lose your tom weight next week!

Yes Meridith what is your secret?

no worrys vday... Im in the same boat you are but not on my TOM!

lol that would be quite a sight to see Sarah. ughhhh i dont even want to think about TOM

Good morning ladies!!
How is everyone doing??
I am off to a good start this week, I am determined to lose more than what I have already!
I woke up at 5am and went for a run. It was only 1.5miles but I figure, you gotta start somewhere.
I also brought some healthy snacks to work with me.... so lets keep the fingers crossed that this will work!

i wish i had time to work out before work. but that would involve me waking up at 4:30 and thats just unreasonable lol. but go you, and i'm sure you can do it!!!

Hey girls! Wow, this thread has been busy since the last time I posted, hehe!

lovemyinnerdemon - Thanks!! Yes, I WILL be in the 180s by next week, hehe. I just have to be! ;)

SarahD - Since you're one of our resident "featherweights," there's no way you can be expected to lose as much as a fata** like me, LOL! It wouldn't be healthy for you to lose more than 1.5-2 lbs/wk... You are contributing to our numbers, so I don't want you feeling bad about anything, even for a second, missy! Hehe. LOL about exercising with your dog on your back!! Poor pooch! :lol: And WOW, I am quite impressed with your 5 AM jog... That is truly amazing! :cp:

vdaybaby - Ahh, the beloved TOM. That's why I hate weighing myself during TOM... Remember me last week? Lol, of course our weigh-in day would coincide with my first day of TOM! :rolleyes: But yes, you will be waving that extra weight "good-bye" very soon, so don't sweat it. :) Good luck this week!

As for my "secret," I really don't know what to say! Throughout this whole thing, I maintain that I've just been veeery lucky. I know for a fact that there are people on here who have worked much harder than I am, but haven't seen the same results. Especially with exercise, which I hate doing--I think the bulk of my loss has been the result of changing my eating habits, and sticking to that lifestyle change really well. I just eat very healthily now, and I like to think that I have been very good at resisting temptation. The past couple weeks haven't been great food weeks for me (especially Thanksgiving week, hoo boy, LOL) but I'm usually very good about making healthy choices. And beyond that, I really don't know why I lose so quickly! God knows I'm not starving myself or over-exercising, lol. Maybe I've just always had a good metabolism, but I never knew it because I was drowning it with food, heh. :o
