Good morning everyone! This week has been awesome I have stayed within my calorie range, exercised almost everday, and well needless to say none of my hardwork is showing up on the scale...I have been stuck at 182 (minus one day where I was 181.8) for 6 consecutive days..I'm really starting to get irritable..and don't know what I should do to maybe changei t up so I can beat this plateau any suggestions? On an even worse note, I have a dentist appt in a few hours wish me luck..I hate being drilled on!

aw, hang in there JLN! you're doing good!


i got my hello kitty scale! yay! waiting for tomorrow morning to officially tell you how much it says i weigh, haha... i'm wondering if there could be discrepancies between it and my old one..? here it is!

Happy Thursday!! (maybe Friday for some?) I don't know if you all saw my other post about 2 weeks ago, where my manager basically told me that they were posting for a new position and I had the job if I wanted it (that was the gist I got from the meeting.) Well we discussed it more yesterday (I had to wait until the job was technically posted) and I got the job!! I'm pretty excited about it. They say its "lateral" which it seems every position in this company is, but they also said that they are trying to get me what will amount to a 12% raise at my annual review in February. (I got 15% last year.) So I'm happy with that.

Some of my water weight from Monday's weigh in has dropped off. I was up 2.2 pounds from last Tuesday, and I had dropped 1 pound of it yesterday. I will weigh in again tomorrow to make sure its still coming off.

I've been doing really well with my morning work outs. The early mornings have turned me into a coffee drinker though. I get up, have my cup of coffee and then do a 20-30 minute workout.

Tuesday at lunch I went to target and bought some new work out clothes (all my pants are falling off of me, making excercising hard.) And I found a pair of athletic shoes for $12!!! I've had my sneakers for about 6 years, I was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY past due for a new pair.

Kawaii - CUTE scale!

I was up 2 lbs this morning. I wasn't even going to get on the scale this morning but I couldn't resist. I knew I did some damage last weekend, but I didn't think it would be that much. Lesson learned.

Cute Scale!

Jenn- congrats on the new job! Sound like you should totally be excited about it! I got some new workout clothes and sneakers last night! :) Gotta love it! Glad to hear your water weight is on its way out.

Casey- you have such a good attitude! Keep it up! The lbs will come right back off! :carrot:

I misread the directions on the laxative I took last night and so nothing happened...took them again the proper way tonight. I have nothing to do at work tomorrow so I don't mind running to and from the bathroom all day.

Today was OK food-wise. I need to stop eating desserts every day but at least now I'm staying within a given calorie range which is better than nothing. No losses expected due to constipation.

Rainbow- ill try to find it. I think its in my dropbox so shouldnt be too hard to rumage up...

jenn: congrats on the new job/raise! that's great! i want new work out clothes too, mine are so ugly, haha... but i guess i'll do that when i go home over the holidays...

krampus: how did you mistake the instructions?? maybe you should just take one that's in pill form or a tea or something?

yeah, it's friday here already! so i weighed myself on the new scale and i am offically 79.4kg. i am pretty happy with that cuz it means exactly 175lbs. i was afraid there might be a difference with my old scale, especially since my mom had fussed with it when she came over... lol. but no, all is well. now i feel i can be more motivated cuz i can see the 0.1 and 0.2 losses, and that's still something.

have a good day all. TGIF!!

HAHA well KC it's the kind you have to mix with water, and I just ate it straight out of the packet! O_O No wonder it was so gross.

I went running this morning BEFORE WORK which is a first in my lifetime. Weighed myself after, 59.6 kg! Now I'm at work and my laxative kicked in, so I imagine tomorrow shall be even lower. Feeling good.

JL Congrats on the awesome on plan week calorie wise! I have no ideas to beat a plateau unfortunately - I have one almost every few weeks. Bleurgh. I hope the dentist wasn't too bad - I had to go earlier in the week to pick up this gross plastic retainer things which I now have to wear every night to sleep. They are horrible.

Kawaii TOTALLY jealous of your scale. Amazing. Awesome about the loss too! It is good to look at those .1 or .2 losses, even though they can just be fluctuations, they can make you feel pretty good!

jenn Congrats on officially getting the new job! And also on the morning workouts! That is amazing. I can't do it. I've tried, but it's not a habit I can get into. I love bed too much! Is it just the one coffee a day? Do you feel bad about it? I wouldn't worry too much...

Icon Thanks so much for that! I'm guessing that one for the chicken fenders is for the whole pack of fenders. I can't remember how many you get...but they're not bad!

krampus Hope your laxative experience is good? Hah I'm not sure if thats the right thing to say! GO you on more loss. If I was seeing those numbers I think I'd be freaking out (in a good way)!

I'm at work and I have less than 30 minutes left. I am SO ready to leave, and this is only my 4 hour shift day hah! I am just not feeling it AT ALL. These plastic retainers are making me feel weird and causing me to take ages to get to sleep and then I wake up and re-realise I'm wearing them and freak out again haha. They're not like...uncomfortable as such, it's just having a foreign object in my mouth that freaks me out.

My weight is not down as much as I thought according to the Wii Fit. I dunno, I had gotten over having different scales and now I'm annoyed again - I liked it when they told me the same thing, not when they differed so much!

On track with calories though a little bit stressed about tonight. My boyfriends mum is making pizza, and it's healthy as far as pizza goes, but I don't know how to count the calories exactly since I don't know her pizza dough recipe and don't want to be a pain by asking. Urhg.

I'm also a bit grumpy because this friday night is looking like the last few - my boyfriend has a friend or two over, they have a few drinks and then talk about boy stuff. Cars, motors, engines, borrrrrring stuff and then they watch YouTube videos. Only tonight it will probably be him going to his friends and watching some dumb dvd. And I'm expected to go but tonight I just don't want to. I wanted to do something fun with him since he's spending so much time at uni. He's already made plans for tomorrow (checking out a car in the morning and more uni in the afternoon).

ON a positive note, my mum is going shopping with me this weekend since she feels sorry for me not having clothes that fit haha. So I'll get some new clothes for this weight, maybe just some basics.

Sorry for the rant!

hey. only about an hour and a half more to go for me! :) i was feeling pretty **** this morning so i dressed really cute and, voila! now i am back in a good mood because of the surge of praise i've been receiving on my outfit, haha.

i'm also a bit worried because a friend asked me if i wanted to go to diner with him and some other people tonight, and i agreed, but we don't know where yet! it's definitely not gonna be good because there is no way i can stay in my calories with food AND drink together (unless i don't eat at all :p) but i'll try my best, i guess.

Its per 100g, which I think is 4 tenders.

I feel great, all clean. Well, ok I lied, I felt great until 10 minutes ago when I had a Reeses Peanut Butter cup and then 2 souvenir cookies. I'm trying to convince myself that cookies and candy make me feel physically ill, it's not really working BUT I don't want any more. I suppose < 300 calories of dessert damage isn't horrible.

Rainbow - Its just the one cup in the morning. Then I have 1 diet coke per day, they rest of the day its strictly water.

Oh wut a glorious morning ladies! lol. First off I'm so thrilled I deff. beat the plateau...dropped from 182.0 to 180.2! Fingers crossed that it sticks and I'm almost out of the 180's..for good! Then dentist went great no cavities for me :) ! On a negative note, all the cells phones are messing up around my area..don't know if it's a worldwide thing but just know that AT&T has sucked this week..hopefully they get the problem fixed. Hubby has a foot doctor appt this morning and then we are going walking I want to try to get up to a half mile because i THINK I got the mile down! lol. And then today is Day 3 Level 2 of 30DS. :) Have a great day or night...today!
