Today was official weigh-in day and it's 173.5 =) so 3.5 lbs until I can post in another thread. Just 2 weeks ago I posted in this thread so definitely not complaining about my results.

Happy monday everyone and hope everyone had an eventful weekend.

effie12 + sweettooth - We will be in the 160s thread BEFORE YOU KNOW IT :D

I need a serious kick in the butt to get back into the 160s! I hit a huge roadblock in the form of a vacation where we ended up eating up for virtually every meal. And the b/f is one of those guys that can eat fast food everyday and not gain at all! Grrr! I've been so unmotivated to get back to the gym, but I think starting tomorrow it's time to kick these last three pounds and get back into the 160s. I miss them! :)

InControl- I do try to track my calories but sometimes it just doesn't feel like enough. I try to get around 1650/day but sometimes I just need to eat more or else I get a headache or light-headed.

I think i'm just really going to try and focus on what types of foods I'm eating and see of that makes any difference.

Hey girls :D I hope everyone is on track and aiming for the 160s!! I'm on week 6 since the beginning of my journey. I've lost 16 lbs since Oct 5 ^_^. I hope to be in the 160s before I visit my sister in NYC thanksgiving week.

I'm a lifelong yo-yo dieter and I'm resolved to end this up and down rollercoaster ... Finding 3fc is one of the best things I could have done! Thank you all for being my inspiration and letting me vent! =D

LindyLuWho - Welcome back!! Good luck and I hope to see you post more hehe this thread is lonely sometimes ~ Everyone needs a break now and then to recollect then focuss again ^_^

sugarxrushx24 - I hope you feel better =/ health should come first. Good luck finding the balance.

In control--you were right. Double bloat. TOM hit me, and I didn't expect it because I am on progesterone--so it comes pretty irregular. Well in addition to TOM I got strep throat! Which the halloween candy aggravated (bacteria love sugar).

Well, I have been drinking lots of water! Especially since before my dr's appt--I didn't want anything near my throat--my lips almost dried up and fell off.

so now this morning's weight has been 174.8 Finally after a whole lot of nothing! the scale is moving again!!!

jendiet- I'm so glad it worked out for you :D

170 ladies ~ there is only 50 days until 2010~~ I don't know about you but 170 is not the decade I want to start my new year with! Let's all give it the best for the rest of the year (and more) and start 2010 with no regrets and right foot forward :hug:

we can do this together!!!!!

Only 50 days!?!?!?! That sounds crazy, but is pretty motivating. There is no way I'm staying in the 170s in 2010, in fact, I'd like them to be gone with November!

So today was clearly NOT the day to get back on track. Or at least I lost all my willpower at about 10 AM. Lol!!! It's Rememrance Day (in Canada) so I had to work but the gym was closed... and my work brought in lunch and there was junk food everywhere!!!

I have barely any will power normally. and TOM is even worse. I feel like I am just making excuse after excuse. It's so hard to stay accountable. Ugh. Tomorrow I have to get back on track. I definitely want to be under 170 before the New Year!!!

We can do it ladies!!!

Lindy, today is past. Get back at it tomorrow. I was slightly more active today and did my best to stick to 1600--plan was for 1200--hahha that didn't work out so well. still hit fairly close.

I don't want to start 2010 in the 170s either!

UGh this is the worst time for the website to not work for me and blogs. I definitely rely on this site, the lovely ladies, and fellow bloggers to bring a calm into my life.

I'm glad it's working NOW at least.
I'm doing my best to stay on plan. I had 2 instances where I ate something not exactly healthy (pizza hut thursday afternoon and chilli's friday night) but each day I kept my calories 1250 one day and 1350 the other day. It's not the end of the world considering I did 2 hours of exercise but I still am living with this HUGE guilt so I drink more water, move more, stay agitated and still feel upset with myself.

OFfficial weigh in is Monday (last weigh in was 173.5) I hope to be closer to 160s!

Good luck ladies and may we all make good choices.

My bf is taking me to Busch Garden's tomorrow so lots of walking and screaming. I plan on waking up early and filling up on a hearty breakfast so I eat minimal things at the park.

in control--you are still doing super on your calorie intake. I think I am going to end the day with 1260 myself. This is alot lower than what I usually do, but I Hope it jags my metabolism.

Thank you for your support. It really means a lot to me when people on this forum respond (makes me feel like I'm not alone)

Pretty soon jendiet we'll be going to the 160s thread for sure :D

Today's calorie intake exceeded 1200 >.< ~1450 calories
I did walk 4 hrs+ at the amusement park though, 30 min elliptical and I'm about to hula hoop for an hour or so..

wish me luck on tomorrow's official weigh in :?:

Good job everyone this week!

I gained weight this weekend while I was in the city, so I guess I have to just try harder to keep it off.

jendiet, I hope it does too!

And incontrol2day, your exercise for today was great! You'll have fabulous results at your weigh-in tomorrow!

170.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today's official weigh in gave me a 3 lb loss since last monday!! I'm so close to the new decade and UBER excited.

Thank you girls for giving me the encouragement I needed to stop the negative thoughts going through my head! I hope we all reach the new decade soon. :hug:

effie12 - Good luck to you <3 Thank you for your comments and everything. I think you are super sweet :o

I'm so glad I can finally be in this thread!! I just hit the 170's Friday and I'm so excited!!
