  • rainbow That's very exciting! I've never been to Canada. And congrats on the loss!! I'm so sorry about your dress though. Boo.

    Kawaii I would not be able to handle it. As it is, I still sometimes sleep with white noise to drown out any possible noises. Congrats on the loss!! Man I need to get back to the gym....

    sun Are you doing WW with your friend? Or are you sticking to your plan? I'm bad about drinking water too sometimes.

    I'm looking forward to this weekend! Going to brunch with some friends, maybe another festival on Sunday...good times all around.
    Best of all....I get a few days without class. Haha
  • QB Sounds like you have a nice weekend ahead I am sticking with my calorie counting but really doing it and not half a**ing it.

    So I am doing ok so far today. Keeping in my calorie allowance. Didn't run but might when I get back from my evening engagment. I seem to not have a hard time running late at night. Trying to stay with it,
    I lost 30 lbs a couple of years ago and I had such commitment. Now I am floundering with the control and not able to get it together. Not sure why its so hard this time. just gonna keep going and hope Motivation hits me soon.
  • rainbow: really? it seemed like she had a lot of workout videos on her youtube channel... i did the "spring fling" one, part 1 and 2. and there are some strange moves in there! lol. my butt still hurts 2 days later... seriously! lol... running sounds painful! hang in there! and it's too bad about the dress... if they really think it got lost in the mail, maybe it'll turn up though? i think my shoes have gotten lost in the mail too... either that or i misunderstood the instructions and my order got cancelled... lol. i thought they were supposed to arrive yesterday and nothing... but that notice i got might have been "you have to pay before 3/21" instead so maybe it just got cancelled... lol. it wouldn't be too bad if it had because i went overboard with the online shopping before i got paid and now i'm gonna spend the rest of the month being poor... (in japan, you only get paid once a month!!!!)

    sun: i know it's good to have a little friendly competition, but just make sure you don't compare yourself with your friend too much... people lose weight differently and if you find that you're not losing as much as she is, you might get frustrated and lose hope. just focus on yourself. you can do this!! as for your motivation slump... well, it happens to all of us and i SO know what you mean... i've had times where i've dieted in the past and i was SO focused the whole time, and then others where everything just seemed so hard... this time, i think i'm somewhere in between both extremes. and i think that it has worked because i give myself cheat days. sure, it makes the process go a heck of a lot slower, but normally, 3 months is about the point where i break, cuz after 3 months of being good and having no cake... no one can survive without cake!!! lol. and i would just break down and have a binge, which would turn into 3 days, and then a week, and before you know it i'd given up. not this time!! you can do it!! look at things that inspire you! pick up some magazines and cut out some outfits that you'd like the wear... make yourself a vision board with positive quotes to stay motivated... you can do it!!

    QB: that sounds good all around! i got like zero plans for the weekend... like, at all. which kinda sucks, but is kinda good in a way cuz it means i won't spend any money. my best friend just flew back to Australia for 2 weeks, and the bf is busy and has a bunch of parties for school and friends all happening at the same time so i can't see much of him either. booh.

    hey guys!

    so first off, weigh is down again this morning! woohoo!! it kept hovering beween 75.0 and 75.2 so i'm taking the highest one hoping it'll be lower tomorrow. i even saw 74.something for like 5 seconds before it went back up... nearly gave me a heart attack! lol. so that's good.

    no plans today again. lol. my life is so boring... might go study at the cafe later. and gotta get my workout it of course.

    hope y'all are having a nice day!
  • sun I'm still trying to decide whether I'll repurchase the dress, but I'm not so trusting of the website now, and I also should be saving my money haha. Sorry to hear that you feel annoyed about your friend losing more weight - just keep doing a good job, everyone moves at different paces (don't I know it)

    QB I've never been to Canada either haha, and I'm moving there! I am pretty excited, and nervous too but I'm sure that's all normal. Your weekend does sound like it will be fun!

    Kawaii I feel your pain on monthly pay, I also only get paid once a month. I'm usually ok with budgeting but towards the end of the month I'm definitely looking at my balance and dividing it by the amount of days till I get paid to give myself a daily allowance haha. And it's even worse at the moment since I'm trying to save so heavily for Canada - no frivolous shopping fun! I am still holding out hope the dress will show up... maybe with bedraggled packaging but still a dress with a cat face all for me haha. Re the dvds, I might be thinking of a different channel, I saved a few on Pinterest a couple of months ago. Congrats on the loss!

    ~I just did my longest run this morning, 10km. It took me 1 hour and 18 mins and I did have a few walking patches in there as usual, but I feel good about it. I don't really have any other plans this weekend. I have some vouchers for mini golf so my boyfriend and I might go do that, otherwise I just feel like relaxing a bit. I haven't weighed in this morning, I should have done it before my run but I'll have a look when I go to shower and see if last night's Carl's Jnr dinner threw me haha.
  • kawaii Thanks for the advice and encouragment! I know I need to just focus on myself I am trying hard to. I need some pics of me pre preggie. I will dig some up when I was 125. Nice on the scale victory!

    rainbow The reality is she sticks with her plan 100% while I have cheats and then wonder why I am not losing. No more I say! Everything is getting logged in my phone. and exercise is becoming so enjoyable latley. bummer on your dress. Fingers crossed it comes. your runs inspire me! I hope to get to that one day!

    SOOO I ran 20 minutes! with just 2 small walk breaks. So proud of myself right now and it felt so good. I was ready to put it off cuz I got my hair done for my cousin's wedding tomorrow but then I was like **** it I will go for it, Now I am sitting under the fan drying my head off lol. I have been doing good with my food last few days and I feel amazing. In control and getting somewhere. Hoping to see 173 or 172 on Monday. Fingers crossed! have a great weekend ladies.
  • sun Wooo go running achievements! It wasn't that long ago I was only doing short runs and could barely run longer than a minute or so at a time, so you're doing great! Hope the wedding is fun tomorrow

    ~Weighed in, same as yesterday so I'm totally fine with that (63.6kg/140.2)
  • Hello everyone!

    Well the last week has been a bit crazy for me, in fact the month of March has been pretty hectic in general! I knew it was going to happen and I've made a few discoveries about myself in the process.

    The last time I wrote here I was talking about how being around my boyfriend threw me off my groove. I also complained about (just like rainbow) I can be really good in a week and then go crazy on the weekend. Well last Sunday I went to lunch out with my boyfriend (ate something unhealthy of course) and we got to talking about my weight loss. He pointed out to me something that is obvious but I had never considered before, and it's made me change the way I'm thinking about weight loss in general now. Holy wow, right?

    Basically he told me that he's noticed that when I get focused about losing weight I set up a lot of rules for myself and a lot of scheduling happens. So I'll tell myself I HAVE to work out these days and I HAVE to eat this, this and this these days too. But when something happens, like I have a social event, I tend to let myself go and then it makes me feel guilty that I've broken the rules. That's when I get discouraged, when I've been knocked off routine I find it hard to get back on it again.

    It was hard hearing it, because I always prided myself on making lists and plans and trying hard to stick to them. But he said that when I was 200 lbs that system worked wonders, I'm down 45 lbs through losing weight by strict orders I gave myself. But now that I've got 20 ish lbs to go I need to start making healthy living a part of my every day life. He said that I can't plan life in advance, I have to start absorbing a healthy mentality where I WANT to eat healthy and I WANT to work out; instead of feeling like I HAVE to and if I don't I get upset.

    So I walked away from that conversation feeling like I do need to change my way of thinking. I do need to just BE healthy! My feelings towards this new attitude is quite weird, because I feel relaxed that I don't have to be super hard on myself but on the other hand I almost WANT to be hard on myself because I'm so used to it. But in the last 6 months I've been in one huge stall - I've not lost any weight in that time because of feelings of guilt.

    I'm now slowly but surely putting this new plan in action starting with my eating. I used to just wing it in terms of what I would have for dinner, but working with young kids full time is so draining that by the end of the day the easiest options were always the most unhealthy. So this week I went for a BIG shop. I bought ingredients for good home made food for the whole week. It's been great! I've loved not having to worry about shopping every night after work - I just went home and used what I had.

    I've also tried my hardest to cut out soda. As much as I love it, I need to stop drinking it and treating myself with it. A problem we discussed was my tendency to not drink Coke but then when I was at a restaurant that's all I would drink. It's going to be a challenge, since tonight I'm going out with friends, but I'm going to do my best to stay away from the stuff!

    But in general, I'm trying to make healthier choices and really THINK about the food I'm eating. Not just cramming it into my mouth because I know it's going to taste delicious, but thinking "is this good for me? has this got any nutritional value?" if the answer is no then I'm going to try my best to decline the opportunity to eat it.

    As for exercise, well my aim is to work out AT LEAST 3 times a week. But really embrace exercise again! I used to LOVE running and when the weather was nice my running shoes were on. Living in a city with no secluded areas nearby is difficult for me, because I hate running around people! I much prefer running in the country where I barely come across people. I'm going to try and find a park or something near by and just do laps around it or something. It's coming up to spring when the weather will be nice enough to do it. But in the meantime I haven't given up on my Body Revolution goal! I still intend to finish it and share kawaii's pain! But once Body Revolution is over I do hope I can be running again. I miss it!!

    To sum up my exercise ramblings - I want to enjoy it again not feel like I have to do it or it's a huge chore. Once it becomes a chore then I won't want to do it! And if I tell myself I have to do it here, here and here then it'll make me think "buuut I could do it tomorrow!" and then the stall begins. I really do want to be thin and healthy, I REALLY do. Sometimes my actions make it seem like I'm too lazy to reach my goal, but I know that I will be so happy in life once my weight is under control and I lead a healthy, active lifestyle. I basically changed my mindset to - I want to lose weight, I need to eat better and exercise - go, instead of - you need to lose weight, so you need to do this, this, this and this. If you break routine then you suck.

    Sorry for the mega rant!! I hope you're still with me.

    My week this week has been super busy because last Sunday I filmed a dance video for my friend for her wedding reception! It was a fun shoot, it felt nice to not have to fill out paperwork and do it all by the book like I did at Uni. This week I've spent my evenings editing it, and yesterday I finally finished! I'll post you a link on youtube when I upload it. I'm quite happy with it! It's nothing amazing, but I had fun and she LOVES it so that's what's important.

    I worked a 6 day week last week which sucked, so this weekend is really awesome! Tonight I'm meeting with friends and tomorrow I'm going to a park nearby to see the cherry blossom trees that are in bloom for a few weeks. It's one of those iconic Japanese symbols so I'm really looking forward to seeing them!

    Next week it's my boyfriends birthday, then that weekend I'm having friends over to my house then Sunday it's the wedding of the friend I made the video for. I might make one last ditch attempt at finding a dress here, but if not I have a black dress I can wear. I'm going to see about getting my hair cut too and adding some bangs...but in a side swoopy fashion. My hair is super thin so if I have full on bangs they tend to look like stupid strands of hair instead of a nice thick forehead covering fringe! I envy anyone with thick hair and I won't hear any bad things about it! Having thin hair is awful!!

    My depression has also cleared up (like it's a rash, haha) and I'm feeling a lot less bummed out and happy again. I just want to enjoy life and live it to the full and not worry so much all the time about sticking to routines!! So here's to me making the right decisions because I want to and getting to my goal slowly but surely =).

    Now the epic challenge of responding to personals...

    ----

    QB - Sorry if my comment stung at first, but I'm glad you saw it for what it was! I hope the next man in your life will want to keep you for himself, please don't enter another casual relationship because they can be over instantly and you have no say in it because you agreed to it! Sorry you're having a rough time with the break up though...hang in there!
    Who was playing at the festival? It was a music festival right? >_>

    rainbow - Sweating is awesome! I love it haha. Where do you run? Is it nice and scenic? I miss running alongside my local canal and saying hello to the sheep and cows! You're doing SUCH a good job with your running! Keep it up!! 10K is the most I've ever run! I trained for a 10k race for 8 weeks and I did it in 59 minutes. You should totally enter yourself in a race!!
    Unfortunately your boyfriend is right in one aspect - your metabolism might just be slower than others which is why you have to be so conscious about everything. I feel your pain though...I hate that we have to be really particular about what we eat because of weight loss! Have you asked any of your friends who you tend to eat with on the weekends what they do to stay slim?
    Congratulations on 5 years!! That picture is awesome!! Love giraffes. Even though one time I saw one drink the pee coming out of another giraffe.
    Huge YAAAAAAAAAAY for not gaining over the weekend! Woohoo!
    Good luck with your visa stuff! I know how stressful it can be, I was terrified I wouldn't get my work visa for Japan! But I did and I'm here =).

    kawaii - Is your boyfriend going to retake the test?
    Sorry you're having a hard time with your weight loss Don't give up!! You can definitely reach 150 lbs by August. If you stop losing weight then it's usually a sign that something needs to change. Which is hard sometimes because you get so used to one system that works for a long time then all of a sudden it stops working. It's happened to me before, I reached like 170 lbs then I had to start eating cleaner for the next boost. For you, I still think you should try eating more good food because you're working out so much!! It might have to be trial and error unfortunately. Or it might be, I hate to say it, that your cheat days are getting in the way of consistent weight loss. I know you keep them in there to keep your sanity, but if you perhaps changed your eating to be a bit more manageable in general then you might not feel the need to allocate a day of the week to eat whatever you know?
    But saying all that, huge congrats on your weight loss! I was reading the post where you were saying you were 166 and I look at your ticker and it's at 165!! Woop!

    sun - If you're worried about your friend surpassing you, then why not try and do what she's doing? Join forces as it were! I've heard people having great success with weight watchers type programmes, you could always join! Funny imagining you running with a fancy hair do! Congrats on your running success! I remember when I was first running and running more than 5 minutes without stopping was a huge accomplishment!
  • ristrella Wow that is really mature of you to take all that adive so nicely. I think you are amazing and have worked so hard to lead a healthy life. I too suffer from bouts of depression and it makes it so hard to lose weight. You are so close to you goal! Keep going. can't wait to see your dance video! As far as doing what my friend is I don't want to pay money for it and calorie counting works for me as long as I do it. I think I am just sad I gained back 20 of the thirty I lost a couple of years ago. But I am starting now to get to goal by my 30th bday. That gives me a little less than a year. Very doable. Like you I am trying to be more health conscious and not just I want what I want mentality. Good luck!

    rainbow glad your weigh in was fine
  • Riestrella Welcome back! I just read through your long post haha. I think it's great that you've got a new mindset now. It sounds like you're really ready to make some good changes for you, and that's the most important thing! Good going on the homemade food! I have such a routine with shopping for food and cooking, and while I do cook a lot of the same things, I love knowing exactly what I'm eating. I think I may be with you a bit on wanting to control everything and feeling guilt when things go wrong - so I'll be interested to hear about how this goes for you!
    With my running, I just run from my house. There is a pretty big park with a lake in it like... 4 minutes from me, I used to do a loop around there, but I've skipped going through there all together now. During the weekdays, I do a run that takes me through a different park and just on some streets surrounding my house. Weekends, I'll run a different direction and come back on this path that runs alongside the motorway and a golf course, and then through the park again and around some more streets. It's not really scenic, but I enjoy it, and I actually get a bit of a push to keep running when I see people and I know they might watch me for a second haha.
  • rainbow: that's great! congrats on your long run ^_^ and yeah, there are a lot of fitness youtube vloggers now so i'm sure you can find one that you like. it's pretty cool! i always wanna try out more but i'm too lazy and pretty good with Jillian, haha. yeah, being paid once a month sucks so much :/ i'm horrible at budgetting.

    sun: really? that's great! you're lucky... i've never been that tiny in my adult life, so i can't even imagine what i would look like at goal. why don't you print up a picture of you at your smallest weight, and a picture of you at your highest weight and put them up next to each other at a place where you'll see it every day? it'll remind you why to keep going more than just the skinny pic ^_- and congrats on the run!

    Rie: yup... it's like they keep posting on my tumblr... "it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change"! and until you believe it to be true, you're always gonna relapse into the bad eating patterns!! i think that, even though my weightloss has been slow, something's really changed for me when i started just eating healthy. i don't reach out for those bad foods anymore! not even on my cheat days! (well... almost... cake and ice cream, i love you...) but the point is, i'll eat fancy home-made cake from a shop, not gross sugary crap from the combini... anyhow, this is not about me... i'm glad you've had a lightbulb moment! i hear you on the soda thing though... T_T well, i drink zero calorie soda, (I'm obsessed with Pepsi Nex) but still, i know aspartame is not good and i worry it is affecting my diet... blergh... but how to give up my beloved Pepsi Nex??? I do hope we can become BR buddies again some i have someone to b!tch about it with! lol. as for your hair, you should go get a hairset at a japanese hairsalon! japanese hairdressers are hair magicians!!! i have pretty hair too, but they always manage to make it look amazing and poofy in all kinds of styles and it STAYS. i even know places that only do hairsets that are pretty cheap if you want, and you can just drop in. just show up with a picture. the key is LOTS of hairspray. lol. and yeah, bf's gonna retake the test, but he's now told me it costs 25,000yen to take it!!!!! wtf?!?! i knew he had to pay but i didn't know it was that crazy expensive! even TOEIC is less than that... and yeah, i hear you about the cheat days, i know they are slowing me down. haha.

    hey guys!

    today weight is still the same. i was a bit worried cuz yesterday i was a bit stressed out and i just wanted to eat EVERYTHING in my house. i managed to not stuff myself like a pig, but i still ate more than i needed. i knew i was eating not cuz i was hungry but to calm down other emotions so i was disapointed in myself. still i'm glad i managed to keep it in check enough that things were ok this morning!

    yesterday, one of my delayed packages arrived and i was really disappointed. it's from a japanese "plus sized" store, which means it has clothes that fit me. lol. well, none of it fit properly. i got a black blazer with leopard print on the inside that's pretty cute, but it totally won't close over my boobs, and i popped the button trying to make it so T_T then i got a pair of pants that are SUPPOSED to be jeggins, but they don't stretch at all!!! i think they've misunderstood the concept... -_- there's a big stretchy elastic band at the waist, but the actual material of the pants doesn't stretch so i can't get them up past my jiggly thighs... *sigh* which is a shame cuz they're really cute... black with little flowers on them. poop. and the last item is an 80's style denim shirt, which actually DOES fit, but it's shorter than it looked on the website (maybe the model was just crazy small?) and makes me look kinda boxy. meh. so i was really disapointed. mostly cuz it cost me a lot of money that i shouldn't even be spending in the first place. i think that set the mood for the rest of my crappy-mood evening... lol.

    today is no-plans-day again, but i feel much better. i'll get my workout in and then i WILL go to the coffee shop and study. i've been telling myself i would for the last 2 days and didn't... yesterday after my package, i just lost all drive to go. haha. tomorrow i wanted to go see the sakura with my bf like Rie, but he doesn't wanna cuz the weather's supposed to be crap. so i have to think of other fun date-ish things than we can do. any ideas?
  • kawaii yucky about the clothes. But hang on to them! You will fit into them in no time! I also found a pre preggie photo. gonna post it here so I know what to work towards!

  • Kawaii Lame about the clothes, I know you were looking forward to them. Just sounds like odd sizing stuff really. Did you figure out what you were going to do with your bf? I'm crap at coming up with ideas for dates haha...my idea of a perfect day if the weather is crap is going to the movies, or if we're saving, watching a dvd and having some tasty food.

    sun Hot mama! It's great to have a visual goal, and I'm sure you'll be able to make your goals.

    ~So I'm really beating myself up this morning because yesterday was ridiculous in terms of what I ate. I rounded out the day at like 3500 calories. I had pizza for dinner, which would have been ok if I hadn't then gone out and drank a whole bottle of wine and then insisted to my boyfriend that I needed a cheeseburger on the way home. And then instead of getting a cheeseburger, I proceeded to order a small fries and some ridiculous "new york" burger (this is at McDonalds) which turned out to be basically a quarter pounder with some weird mustard mayo in it.

    So I logged it all this morning and I am not proud of myself at all. And my weight is up this morning, not a huge amount, but enough to piss me off just a little more.

    On the other side of the spectrum, I'm actually feeling really happy because it was a good night out, my boyfriend and I don't actually go out a lot to see different people, we see the same people all the time. Last night we went to a friend's place that neither of us had seen in ages and it was just really nice to hang out with different people. I kind of feel like it reinvigorated our relationship just a bit, if that makes any sense at all.

    Today...well boyfriend wants to make french toast for breakfast (already starting off the food side of things on the wrong foot!) but that probably means no lunch since it's pretty late already. He's got work later and I'm planning on catching up on my downloaded tv episodes and maybe heading out to see my sister and her husband later on. Pretty lazy day I think.
  • Hey everyone!

    Yesterday was a so-so day food wise. I made a really nice potato salad, instead of using mayo I used avacado and it was pretty tasty! In the evening we went to this restaurant that was like a gothic castle theme, it was pretty awesome. Apparently there was a sex club upstairs too that I wanted to see but surprisingly my friends had been there before!!
    The food I ate wasn't great for me, we usually buy a bunch of different plates and share. I didn't feel like I overate though, which is usually what happens when food is put in front of me. But I didn't drink my usual coke which I was super proud of! And when we went to another food place after (they have time limits in certain types of food/drink places in Japan) I had like 3 fries that they had ordered but didn't touch the rest of the food. I was eyeballing the fried chicken with mayo and I REALLY wanted it but I thought "I'm not hungry, it's really greasy and fatty, don't do it!" So I felt like it was a huge step in the right direction for me. Before I would have been right in there but because I wasn't even that hungry there just was no point!

    I DID have quite a bit to drink haha. Oh welly, I want to live and have fun! I didn't get wasted, but I had a buzz on. I had to leg it for the last train though, so got some sprint work in there!!

    I worked out a bit of a fitness plan for myself. This time instead of allocating days for each exercise I've just put it in a grid and when I do it I cross it off. So this way I still have a sort-of plan to keep me focused but I'm going to take a relaxed approach to when I do it. I've got a mix of yoga, running and home workouts (zumba, body revolution, maybe Insanity!). I love all 3 so I thought "why not just combine it all together?!" The weather is getting nicer and it's staying lighter longer so I can probably start running soon. Still a bit uneasy about running in a city, always feel like I'm going to get attacked or something haha. I know Japan is relatively safe but I'm quite a cautious person in general.

    ---

    sun - Thank you so much for your kind words! Yeah that's the problem with Weight Watchers, it is a business!! But it is just another way of calorie counting, right? So yeah, you can do it if you keep focused! I'm sure you can reach your goal! Don't dwell on mistakes you've made, it won't do you any good and you can always turn it around for the future. How much did you weigh in your pre-pregnancy photo?

    rainbow - Thank you for reading my mega post!! I will keep you informed on my happenings, I think it'll be a very slow process at first while I make changes slowly, but hopefully it will keep me at my goal weight for the rest of my life! You've inspired me to just get out and do it no matter what! It's about the running itself, I looked on google maps and there's a river close here so I might have to scout the area and see if it has a path running along it. I love running by water! So please keep talking about your runs, it's keeping me motivated!
    Try and drink as much water as possible today! Those days happen though, especially when we live in a society where those foods are so easily available. I know I've had days where I've just been an eating monster! Glad you had a great night out though!

    kawaii - Ahh soda, if I can do it so can you! I've gone 6 days without it so far, which has been very hard but I'm starting to feel proud of myself. I have a little "it's been __ days since I've had coke" on my whiteboard and it's satisfying to update it!
    I'm sorry your clothes didn't fit you well! I always have the boobage problem, so I can sympathise with you completely! Did you buy from that shop before? I tend to not buy clothes online unless I know the clothes fit me! Can you send them back?
    I'm still going to see the cherry blossoms even if it's crap weather! Well the forecast says cloudy which is fine, I'm going around night because the park I'm going to has lights that they put on. Hopefully it's nice! Other date ideas...that don't involve going outside...watching a film? Arcade? haha. I love arcades...
  • Riestrella Your grid idea sounds great, it's so good that you love all the exercises. I really do miss Zumba, but I can't go back haha. I just can't do workouts with my boyfriends mum! I think I talked about it once before haha. Ah I feel weird that my runs are inspiring, because I still feel so proud of myself every time I go for a run - like..I feel like I'm doing this amazing thing but other people do it all the time and it's not that amazing. But it's all about how things make us feel right? Congrats on saying no to the fried chicken! I am SO bad with stuff like that...if food is put in front of me, I'm not good at saying no, regardless of if I'm full or not. Unless I'm full to bursting point. Thanks for the water tip - I'm actually doing bad on that so far today, it's nearly 6pm and I have only had about a litre :/ Can still make up for that tonight!!

    ~I got a delayed hangover and had to take a nap this afternoon haha...I just felt really queasy so I got into bed and slept for a while. Hanging out with my sister now, and we'll go to my parent's place for dinner - our uncle went fishing and gave my mum a whole fresh snapper (that's a soft white fish in case snapper isn't a universal fish) so we'll have delicious fish, salad, corn and some baked fresh bread rolls. Healthy overall if I can stick to one roll!

    Man I just want to say that I am so glad to be back on here posting regularly because it just makes me feel way better about having people to talk to about it and just being more accountable. And people to share good and bad things with that the other people in my life might just think I'm a little crazy for caring about!!

    Thank you ladies!
  • ristella sounds like your fitness plan is going to get things moving. Also good on you for eating within your limits! I was 135 in the pic. I couldn't find any of me at 125. Gonna keep looking.
