Still at 229

Congratulations two-dog! :bravo:

Ellis and sflake - don't lose heart - you can do it! :cp:

I will post tonight after weigh-in at WW! :)

I am happy to report that I have done well this past weekend with temptation as well...Saturday night we had some friends over and ordered pizza...we have 4 local places in town and I chose Papa Johns because I can get the nutritional information online...and while everyone else had the meat and cheese laden pizza, I ordered half of one pizza veggie only-had none of the garlic butter, and stayed within my calorie range for the day! Yesterday was my daughter's fifth birthday party as well, and while we were in the rush of getting things together-DH and the kids ate KFC and I ate some fruit and a protein bar that I brought with me to my parents house in my purse...and I had none of the birthday cake or ice cream!!!! Yay ME!!!
Aphil :D

Way to go Aphil! :cp:

that is sooo great Twodog!!!! Hats off to Inches off !!!!

Aphil yeaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! I love hearing about having control. It helps me out!!!!

Ellis, yep, you can blame me...you know I had to send it somewhere! :lol: Just don't send it back to me now!

Way to go aphil!!! :cp: You should be very proud of yourself, that was amazing self control!!!

Well it looks like my self control on the weekend paid off - I have lost 2.5 lbs and I am down to 164 again! :cb:

Whooo Hoooo Mauvais!!! Good for you!!!! :bravo:

:bravo: Aphil and Mauvais

keep up the sunshine!!!!!! Way to go !!!!

Lost two yesterday. :D 178 this morning.
Congratulations, all you losers! :dance:

Congrats Losers!!!! :cb:

I was back down to 171.5 yesterday, but gained the 2 Ellis lost by this morning. ;)

YEESH!! We have to get RID of these pounds instead of shifting them around!!! I'm afraid to weigh right now because I have been BAD lately. Made DH throw out what was left of the chocolate cake last night because he was barely eating it and I was scarfing it!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to all the losers!!!!!

dentrassi-I don't know how many times I have done that before...the temptation of something is just too much and in a big sweep I just toss it in the garbage...my mother in law would be appalled and call it wasteful...but on the flip side, my arse is smaller than hers...hee hee hee!

Hi all! I have talked to some of you before on other posts, Hello!
To those I have not hello as well...

I would like to join the Halloween challenge - not only do I need to lose more of this weight and have a goal, but I LOVE Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been putting on and taking off like the same 3 pounds for two weeks, my fault...I have been on and off my WW plan for those last two weeks....need to get my crap together - for so long I was doing so good...but I know I can start in again...I might have already blew it today with my breakfast but tomorrow is another day.....

Carri, welcome....
I had a most wonderful WW instructor that taught me something very valuable....if you mess up, don't throw away the day, just start with the next meal....and it really works!!!

I am checking in 10 pounds down for towards my goal, 15.5 more to go.......

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

Hi ladies..I would like to join the Halloween Challenge if you dont mind? I have been reading the posts..you all seem awesome!! such motivators!!! Happy to be in the company of such great people!!



Current weight: 165
Halloween Goal: 155
Final Goal: 135

RachieD-WELCOME!!! The more the merrier!!!!

Rowan-Good attitude!! If you DON'T look at it that way one little slip can turn into a bad WEEK!!!

Satine-I love Halloween too!!

Aphil-YUP!! I told him that he needed to eat it or throw it out!! it was making me feel queasy and I STILL wanted it!!!

Congratulations to all the losers! :bravo:

Welcome RachieD :wave:

Good luck Silverdove:lucky:

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

Mauvais and Ellis -- Yay for your losses! :)

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

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

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

Welcome, Rachie! :wave:

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

Just found this link for Halloween Recipes

Fun site silverdove :)

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! :D

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! :lol:

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. :D

Aquareggie- :bravo: 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

Robin

Another new week! Where in the heck does the time go??

My weight release for the past week is 2.5 pounds, thanks in large part to my stress non-eating last week!! My weight is now 181. :cb: I'm so close to the 170's I can hardly stand it, it's been years since I've been there!!! Next week for sure!!!!

One-half pound more, and I can buy a new charm for my charm bracelet (one charm for each 10 pounds lost!). I can't wait to go shopping.

I hope everyone else had a successful week poundage-release wise. And for anyone who didn't lose, this is the first day of a new week....

Congratulations Twodog! :bravo:

Twodog, that's wonderful! Congratulations, girl! :hat:

I'm stuck at 179. I've been there for a week now. Up from 177. :( I'm so afraid of going into the 180's again.
I've just had a good workout at the Y, and I'm hoping to have a good eating day. :dance:

I weighed in at WW after work today and I lost 2.5lbs last week AND I got my 10lb ribbon! :cb: This brings me to a grand total of 12 lbs lost since June :D

Way to go Mauvais!!! :bravo: What a fabulous loss for the week!!!

Hi ellis! Don't worry, you'll get back on track and that scale will start moving in the right direction again. Here's a little incentive for you.....you don't want me to catch up with you, do you?? :lol: I'm gaining (er...I mean losing) on you quickly!! :lol:

Woo Hoo Mauvais!!! :cb:

It's ok Ellis. You can do it! :)

Good going, Mauvais. I know you've worked hard to get that ribbon!

:yikes: Twodog is catching me up! :lol:
Thanks, girls. And congratulations, Mauvais! :hat:

I had a crappy eating day yesterday, but I did a LOT of exercise and housework, so I'm trying to forgive myself. It's that afternoon fatigue... I start out so well with my eating, and then BANG! Afternoon hits and the food comes out.

:bravo: Mauvais

I'm down to 225, but I think it's flu weight. Hope it lasts. :D

Sflake, you DID have the flu! Are you okay, sweetie? :grouphug:
