Hey all! I had a good weigh in last weekend (154.8), but I had what amounts to a three day binge on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday. I'm trying to recover, but I'm having a hard time with it. Luckily the guest we had is gone (major stressor), so I just have to get back on the wagon. And I have been working out everyday, though just running which is not one of my "harder" workouts.

I'm excited about the new thread and I'll be following along again now!

Nicole - way to go on those bars! I probably would of eaten them all.

stargzr - hope your toe is feeling better.

fashin - you scale will be back down on Monday, I know you can do it!

Paja - I hear you on eating out of stress - good luck! you will be back on track and no time.

So I am worried. My scale isn't really going down, I was hoping to see a good loss this week to be safely in the 150's. My WI isn't until tomorrow, but I don't think I am going to drop a pound over night. This weekend we are off for a trip to the beautiful west cost, it is going to be hard to stay on track I think. Although I am feeling pretty determined to stay out of the 160's so maybe I can do it. Wine in the hot tub might be an issue.

Last night my Step Dad and I booked a last min trip to Montreal. For the 18-21. How do you eat good in Montreal when you are dealing with a HUGE amount of stress. For anyone that remember's from the 160 thread it is sort of a continuation from a few weeks ago. Hopefully I can be as good as possible. Wonder if I can stick with salad for one meal and a treat for the other. I might be able to pull that off. Like if I want burger and fries eat it for lunch and then salad at dinner... I dunno. gack.

Just stressing, thanks for letting me vent.

Nicole, great job on giving the other 4 granola bars away and staying strong until dinner I'm not sure if I could've done that you're awesome!

stargzr, thanks! And I'm sorry about your toe I really hope it starts feeling better soon! And I'm hoping for 154 for you tomorrow but whatever it says have fun with your hubby!

paja, I know how you feel as well I had a three day binge over Easter weekend (fri, sat, and sun) and it put me up almost 4 lbs! You just gotta get back on track and it will come off fast, I've been OP since Monday and about 3 lbs of it is already gone, you can do it good luck girl!

Courtnie, we cross posted! Don't worry about tomorrow's WI you can most definitely lose a lb or more overnight I have done it many times. And good luck with your trips I think your plan of one treat meal a day sounds great because if you're like me and you try to restrict too much you'll end up going crazy. Good luck girl you can do it!!

I'm back in the 158's this morning so I'm pretty happy with that, but still hoping to see 156 on Monday. Hope you ladies are having a good day so far!

Thanks Fashin, I know I can do it (hopefully) I am just stressing about getting too far back into the 160's. Was so happy to be in this thread! On a plus side... I get two long weekends in a row! This weekend and next! yay!

Finally something worth eating at work!! In the breakroom (in addition to pizza, which I took a slice of for dinner, lol), there is a HUGE raw veggie platter! I'm munching on broccoli, red and green peppers, celrey and carrots.

Courtnie, yay for long weekends those are the best!

Nicole, you're lucky! We never have healthy snacks (which is why I always bring my own). Good for you for opting for the veggies and taking only 1 piece of pizza- that's my downfall for sure!

Oh pizza, why did you even say the word. mmmmmmm spicy perogie pizza is my fav!

I know pizza is my absolute weakness! I can go without it forever because I won't buy it myself, but if you sit it in front of me I cannot resist... Unfortunately I have tried and failed many times.

I honest thinkly you could eat worse foods then pizza. For example, I think you would be far worse off with a meal from McDonalds then a few slices of pizza. Yes there is a lot of calories in pizza, but it also does have some nutritional value (assuming you have more then meat and cheese on it, lol).

The pizza at the restaurant nearby that they always order from - called Green Mills Cafe - is INCREDIBLE, too. That's why whenever we order it, I take a single slice for dinner. If I ate it at work, I'd be tempted to eat more than one, so taking one for later really helps me with portion control.

The one I always take is grilled chicken and spinach. Mmmmm, lol

Ladies, help me! I'm having some serious chocolate cravings!!

I know, my bf gets supreme pizza and I pick off the sausage (yuck!) so I don't think it's too bad at least I'm getting some veggies!

Nicole, do you have any calories left for chocolate? I find that when I'm really craving something it's best to give in and have some. BUT, I will wait a couple hours and sometimes even a couple days to make sure it's a real craving because more often than not it goes away. Good luck, whatever you decide to do you'll be fine!

stargzr, I'm sorry your toe is still bothering you. Maybe you could try to run and if it hurts too bad then just finish up walking? Either way I hope it feels better soon!

Nicole - I am like Fashin. If I am really craving something I just usually need to eat it. Otherwise I find myself eating other stuff to fill that craving - in the end eating more then I need anyway.

stargzr - sorry about your toe. Try and take it easy.

Fashin and Sotypical - I just ended up eating a small cadbury caramel egg. It's not really high in calories, but it was sooo delicious. Totally worth it, and I fit it into the plan (It just meant no snack while I watch tv tonight, which would have been a greek yogurt).

Star - I'm sorry you toe is feeling weird! I hope you're alright!!!

Fashin - that's a smart idea! THere was supreme pizza today, too, but I looked at the meat and thought "That's just not gonna work." I may just do that next time.
