Hello to you all! This week my weight stayed at 145, which I expected with my period coming today. I'm so suffering with yeast right now, from the darned Biaxin I took when I was sick. Need to get those good bacteria back in my gut. I've been eating yogurt with live bacteria like crazy, and popping [excuse spelling] acidopholis since yesterday. And staying away from yeasty foods.

I love spicy teas, I treat myself to a no-fat Tazo Chai at Starbucks once and awhile. Yummmmmmm.

I'm going to read around a bit, haven't been online much lately ~ due to kids on the computer!

I gotta say, for the longest time I didn't like spicy tea, just fruity ones. But lately I've really been loving Celestial Seasonings' India Spice Chai (even decaf!) - It's super delish, especially when I heat milk in the micro and serve it with a dash of cinnamon on top. It's got a touch of black pepper in it to give it bite. Nice, and I don't have to get over to the coffee shop to have one!

In fact, I'm going to go make some right now!
Ciao!

I weighed myself this morning, even though I've switched my weigh-in day to Tues, and I'm down a pound! Yay!

Tea is something I want to start doing again. I have this great pitcher that's perfect for iced tea.

Solarmama, I'm the exact opposite. It took me forever to like fruity teas and even now I only like them iced.

I have accidentally reached February goal!!! And it's only the 21st! Madness!

Way to go chicks! :bravo:

I have managed to maintain despite my crappy weekend eating. :( I just find the weekends so difficult to manage foodwise.

Way To Go Kykaree!!!!!

I haven't posted in a while.

We went on a valentines day getaway and then had to house sit at my parents for a week. Of course this totaly threw me off, and I began eating junk and wasn't exercising. Needless to say when I got home and was prepared for a huge gain (I did try to eat healthier foods and smaller portions of the bad ones....honest I tried) The gain was less than I had imagined, but a gain none the less (up 3 lbs)

Which really goes to show you how much weight loss needs to be a lifstyle change and not just a 'diet'.

In the life style change department...I still need practice. I guess it has taken me 27 years to create the lifestyle I was living....sure hope it doesn't take 27 years for my knew one. Either way I am taking it one day at a time, and I don't feel badly about it.

This is mind over matter and my mind is going to win.

congratulations to all of the people who are working hard and making the changes.

Also there are a few people that we haven't heard from in a while (you know who you are) What up? Keep us posted.

Good afternoon ladies! I just got back from Alabama late last night and I forgot to weigh-in this morning, but I will tomorrow. I didn't have the best food the whole time I was down there, but I ate small portions so hopefully it won't be too bad when I do weigh in :)

Well I am really starting to wonder what is wrong with me.... Some people may find it strange to not understand why they are losing weight, I but am really not getting why I am dropping it so easily, it has never ever happened before. I am down to 145.5 this morning which is just 1/2 pound from Febuary goal and my lowest weight in 2 years. I am just 4.5 pounds from my E-diets low weight.

Who knows.....

well i am back on trach. yay! I have been eating healthy for the last few days and feel soooooooo much better. also went to yoga yeasterday and already fit in a walk today. it feels great.

i know that i will probably not make my feb goal, but i am aiming for one more pound before the month is up.

keep up the hard work...and you can reach your goals.

Well somehow my scale says that I've reached my goal! 182! Woo-hoo! I'll have to do a final check on my dads scale over the weekend to get a 2nd opinion. But right now I'm going along with my scale. :D I attribute it to eating less and starting to mall walk with my boyfriend. Plus I've been sick and not really hungry. :p Good luck to everyone out there. Believe me, if I can do it ANYONE can because I am so bad about meaning well and not following through. I'll be ready for a March challenge. I'll be here until I get to 165! And then hopefully 150 or 140! Later!

Well, I'm probably not going to meet my goal, but the important thing is that I have lost some this month. I'm down to 184 and I'm going to get a ton of exercise this weekend from moving, so I may go down another. On the other hand I predict that we will eat out a bit, so I may not. Anyway have a good weekend ladies! The computer goes in a box tomorrow, so I probably won't be around until Monday.

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I'm feeling crappy (had to have my depression meds upped), have gained weight, and I feel sh*tty. :mad:

Congratulations to all of you who are doing so well!! :hat:

February Challenge - Halfway There!
 

My February Challenge Results:

I tried to go from 198 to 188, and got as far as 193. 5 pounds instead of 10 - argh! :(

But I am not deterred, in March I am going to try again for 10, and this time I think I will make it! :) :jig: So from 193 to 183! Yeah! I can do this!

Good luck all! May the scale look kindly on you! :grouphug:

I have started a March Challenge thread for anyone who is interested :)
