stargzr - you are right. It did make me eat better the next few days. I even fixed my own Mexican last night with grilled chicken topped with pepper jack cheese, sauteed onions and mushrooms, lots of salsa, and sour cream with a side of amazing Mexican brown rice. You know what, it was practically the same thing I get at the restaurant except all of the lard so it was a fraction of the calories.
I took today off work and it began productive, but then I laid down and took a 3 hour nap lol. At least I got a nap and things accomplished. The scale was 168.4 this morning so I've been losing tenths. I've been locked in the house with 2 chocolate cakes so I have been trying not to go in the kitchen. Haha. Hope everyone is having a great day.
I made oatmeal cookies after school with some of my students, and when they tried to push a taste on me I explained that I'm on a diet and didn't want to use up my calories on cookies. One of them said, "Why are you on a diet? You're skinny enough!" I could have kissed him.
gasouza, I am hoping to be out of here by the end of the month as well. We can do it!
sun how old is your daughter? It sounds pretty awesome that she got her cochlear implant turned on, is it totally new to her? I hope your neck gets to feeling better soon, I know how painful that can be. And as soon as TOM goes away I'm sure you'll have a great big woosh!
mojo, yum that homemade Mexican sounds delish! We (unfortunately) go out for Mexican every Friday night as a family but I've been sticking to the taco salad except for the last two weekends. I had chicken fajitas which I had been craving and they were really good, but like you said I'm sure I could make them at home for a fraction of the calories. And good for you for resisting chocolate cake!!
kirjava, that's so funny don't you just love comments like that? Lol
Unofficial WI this morning is 162.9, so excited! Unfortunately, I am realllllly craving something sweet right now, but I am going to go workout instead. It looks like we are all making good progress, we can do this!

fashinjunkie09 - me and the bf go out for sushi every Friday night. Doesn't sound that bad does it? Well the favorites sushi rolls are deep fried. LOL We usually split an order so I make him get 2 rolls that aren't deep fried. Haha.
I was 167.6 this morning. It probably helped bc I was at home and had a plan on what to eat. I'm staying home from work again today. I'm sure not having the stress of the job is helping as well. Have a great day!
mojolove - Im so jealous!! I wish I could take a couple of weeks off. My job is super stressful..i even have nightmares about it at night. No joke!! lol but in a way I think me being so stressed is helping me lose weight so Ill count that as a bonus.
But I tell you what ladies..its awesome to be able to take a few minutes break and check in on here
kirjava - Aww, that's so sweet. And such an innocent compliment, it makes it that much better.
fashin - 162.something??!! That's great!
mojo - Jealous me of your sushi! I <3 sushi so much!
lilly - I agree, I like coming in here while at work to just take a minute to chat with all you ladies!
I'm still hangin' in here at 166. I'm not sure when the scale will move, but I've been feeling icky the last couple days and I'm not sure why (no changes in diet or exercise). Every day is one step closer to goal, ladies! We can do this!
My mom called me this morning to let me know my grandpa passed away just after midnight. He's been in poor health for years, but he's always pulled through, even surviving two heart attacks in the past. He had a heart attack on Saturday evening and that's the one that did it... he held on as long as he could, but he finally let go.
I live in an isolated community so I'm too far away to make it to the funeral. This is the first time someone close to me has died. It's been a rough day.
mojo, I am so jealous I wish my bf would eat sushi with me but he says he doesn't like it (although he's never tried it). Way to go on 167.6 that's awesome girl!
Lilly, my current job is so laid-back but I've had jobs so stressful I've had (and sometimes still have) nightmares! But like you, I love to be able to take a break and come check in with you ladies!
stargzr, thanks! And I know what you mean about feeling yucky lately. Alot of people here at work have been getting sick but I'm praying it'll pass me over. 166 is still really great though, you're doing great!
kirjava, I'm so sorry for your loss. I've lost loved ones I was very close to so I know what your going through and I know how hard it is, just know that he is in a much better place and that we are here for you. I know how hard it is to be away from family especially at a time like this.
162.2 this morning! Was 162.0 when I first stepped on the scale but the the next two times (I don't know why I do that to myself) were 162.2 so that's what I'm going with. I just hope I can keep it that low or lower for my next WI cause my best friend and I leave for Mardi Gras on Saturday. I'm going to have to try very hard to not snack out of boredom on our 12 hour road trip!

LiLLy19 I hope you get some stress relief soon! Stress is my ultimate enemy in weight loss!
stargzr I hope you bust 166 this week!
fashinjunkie09 Don't step on it again! I always do that and then am like what the **** lol. But its still cool that you are so low! Good luck with the road trip. Have your snacks packed and ready so you don't over eat! Have fun though,
So I have been having trouble with my neck still and had to skip my P90X for today. I think I will hit my treadmill later when hubby finishes his eletrical project Kinda bummed about the P90X
But we had a nice date day Went for a movie and to Home Depot for his project(I just love seeing him all excited about doing something. My hubby loves to tinker ) 160 this morning....soooo close. Fingers crossed for the next two days! I ate popcorn and a candy bar today and was looking forward to marshmallows roasted in lur fireplace and my hubby was like NO you can't. I looked at him like excuse me and he said hey supporting you doesn't just mean encouragment and he was right. Thanks to him I stayed in my daily budget Sweetheart!
sun, you are so right! Yesterday when I stepped on the scale and saw 162.9 I didn't step on again cause I didn't want to see 163 again, so I think I've learned my lesson. Your hubby sounds so sweet and supportive it sounds like you had a great day with him, my bf and I are way overdue for one of those. I'm sorry that your neck is still sore though, I really hope it gets to feeling better soon! 160 is so close too, you'll be outta here in no time hopefully I'll be right behind you!

Thank you for the support, everyone. I'm glad I found 3FC and all the wonderful people here.
I almost turned to emotional eating today, but managed to stay on plan. In the end, I wasn't really that hungry anyway, I was just looking for comfort of some kind. My boss gave me the day off so curling up in bed for a lot of the day was comfort without the calories.
I lost track of this thread~but I am still in the 160's so I made my way back to it!! I was 163.4 Today~A new low ~hopefully I will get outta the 160's soon. Working hard at it. When I reach 159.8 I will have losta grand total of 100 pounds which is so exciting to me....CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Hope all is well for everyone...I have dial up so It would take forever to go through all the pages posted...So I will try to be on this thread more often to post. HUGS TO ALL
You'll be in my thoughts.
