Don't west these kind of things ladies, its hard but just remember how good you feel when you turn those foods down, thats what helps me! I have been good as far as food, but the excersise has fallen WAY below what I want to be doing. I have been house hunting lately, and its kinda consumed a lot of my time, excuses excuses but hey, a house is a big deal lol. I am headed out to look at a couple with a real estate agent in a bit here, wish me luck!!!

You know I didn't buy it that if you had a goal you worked harder and lost more, but wow if the numbers don't lie.

181.7 today.

How and what am I working to?

Joining the army as a publicist specialist. I need to weigh 146, and run two miles under 16 minutes.

I've been running a lot these days. Sad to say that my record is one mile in 15 minutes. I've got sooooo far to go!

Wish me luck~!

Umm. I'm freaking out a little. I weighed in early (my official one is tomorrow morning) and somehow, in 2 days, I've gained 5lbs. The best part about this is that I haven't eaten that bad this weekend. I had to splurge a little Saturday because they didn't have anything but chips at the Children's Museum (what CM doesn't have healthy snacks????) and thats the only day I went off plan.
Can it be 5lbs of water weight? I know that I weighed in after one meal, but it was half a bowl of red beans. That was all I had!
I know my sodium intake was high this weekend, so I'm loading up on the water. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll have lost most of this.
I'm sorry, I'm just soooo aggrevated.

Hey CeCe, don't stress too much! To gain 5 pounds of fat, you would have had to eat 17,500 extra calories this weekend. Since you know you didn't do that, chalk it up to hormones or sodium, chug that water and just wait it out for a few days! It's frustrating but you'll be fine!

So I had a pretty evil weekend. I ate fries, chicken fingers and lots of booze! :P I am up .4 lbs. I stayed OP all day today (so far) and I plan on going to the gym tomorrow, so I am hoping that I am at least at 0 instead of gaining anything. We will see.

Oh and last week was my TOM, so I wanted to devour anything under the sun hah

Okay girls! How come no one is posting :P

I am down to 168! So that means the scale moved wewt wewt!

I think last weeks weight gain was due to water retention! Lets hope the scale goes down a bit faster! =]

Sorry I've been MIA. I've been a little under the weather and very stressed at my new job. I need to start tracking my eating again.

Just wanted to say hi, ladies! This week has been just okay for me so I'm not sure what to expect weigh-in time. I have been working out a lot and staying around 1500 cals but not eating the healthiest foods 100% of the time. I had a 3 pound loss last week, though, so as long as I maintain that, it'll be okay.

I had an awful night last night. I drank beer and ate ketchup chips and this morning I'm 194. It's weird though, because I feel smaller????

Anyways, I'm feeling pretty crappy because I've committed to this Duathlon and I really want to do it but I'm not finding the motivation to run. The biking is no problem. I was at the gym on Thursday morning and I ran on the treadmill but only for 10 minutes before I got bored. I don't know what to do or what to get myself going???? I need help, and I've thought about joining groups, but that's just one more place I have to go after work or whatever. I want to be able to come home some nights and not have any commitments. Just like last night, I did that, but because of my mood it was disastrous.

Any helpful motivation tricks? I know people ask for these at least three times a day on all of the threads here, but any help is appreciated. I feel hopeless today. It's the worst feeling when you're usually the one giving advice.

I'm also kinda sad that I set really high expectations for myself like my 50 pounds in 5 months and looking at how fast time is flying I again... feel hopeless.

I'm also feeling that I'm putting too much effort into my work and not enough into myself and making time for the things that -I- want to do.
In conclusion, life is hard...

Don't forget to weigh-in today, ladies!

I don't know what's going on with me. It's like I care on the inside, but I can't get my actions to line up with my plan and then everything just... crumbles. I haven't been to the gym since last Tuesday (like almost 2 weeks), granted I was out of town for a couple of days but still. I've been drunk, like absolutely drunk, almost every day since then. And of course, the eating has been completely off plan. And it depresses me, but not enough to change. Like right now - I'm waiting for my roommate to get out of bed so we can go out to breakfast when I can have a nice bowl of oatmeal here. Why? Argh. I don't know. I need a good kick in the pants to get up and running again.

It's like I lost one pants size, people started telling me I looked good, and that was enough for me. it's NOT enough for me. I know that.

how is everyone else doing? It kind of seems like some others are losing steam? or at least not posting as much...
