My next step is to commit to the exercise...right now, i have done NONE!!!

2dog -- Hi! Congrats on your loss. Cute doggies.

Mauvais and Ellis -- Yay for your losses!

Aphil -- Papa John is a sadist. He created that garlic butter sauce to torture us all.

Hi everyone! Two more days til I weigh-in...

Thanks, Aqua. I gained it back yesterday. But I'm having a great day today, so hopefully it'll come back off again. Darned chips.
I hope you have success on the scales!!

Welcome, Rachie!

Robin... how's it going?

Hi everyone,

Well Day 2 is nearly over and I have been very very good.

I am planning to spend a lot of time this weekend cooking.

I want to plan the meals ahead because I spend too much time trying to figure out what to eat.
My meals are pretty much eaten alone all week long thanks to my guys working those hours.

The staff at work want to have pizza on Friday and asked if I was "in" for it. Tempted as I was, I said no.

I am trying the South Beach Diet and breads are a no-no for at least two weeks. Bread is my weakness. So, not even a morsel. for me.

My halloween goal is ten pounds. I hope it's realistic enough.

You've all been so very kind and welcoming I just want to say thanks once again.

Hope everyone has a great evening.

Robin

Count me in! I just tried on my new harem pants yesterday (a friend made them from a pattern I found and I plan on also using them for Halloween) and my belly fat hangs over the waistband in a very unattractive way. I have to show it no mercy, so it looks good on me by Halloween!
Current weight -- 151
Goal weight by Halloween -- 140
Personal goals -- to look good in those harem pants!
Fitness goals -- get my 10 minute ab workout every day, and work out at home on my off days that I'm not running

Whoo hoo! I think I have dropped some more weight but I do not officially weigh in until Monday so I am not going to post poundage as I don't want to jinx it!

I have to be really good this weekend so I don't blow all the hard work I have done this week -staying OP and getting in some extra exercise. I am going out to dinner tonight and already know what I am eating in order to stay OP!

Welcome, Robin! Good idea about meal planning. I never learned to do it, and would come home to an empty fridge. Then I would go out to eat, and that's how I gained all this weight!

Mauvais, yep, having a goal and weighing in helps so much for those last few days.

Well, I lost 2.5 lbs! I've been having success eating more days vegan.

Aquareggie- on the weight loss!

Hello ladies,

It's quiet here on weekends.

Starting day 5 today. Haven't strayed yet. I guess it was a good week. I haven't been hungry .. well maybe a grumble or two before bed... but I survived it.

Hope everyone is doing well.

I am going shopping later to start to gather Halloween decorations for the house. Someone stole my insence burning skull last year (i hope my ex hubby's happy wherever he ended up)

talk to you all later
