Happy Saturday!! Holding at 187 but I didn't expect anything else!! So my news for the day is that I am only 5 pounds away from being overweight!!! According to the BMI calculator!! I have gone from severely obese to moderately obese and I am on the edge of just plain overweight!!!!

oooo lulu I like that quote....pick your hard! Gotta love those 5 pounds!!

175 today....therapist at work gave me some toe exercises to do to strengthen it and she said to take it easy....LOL, cracks me up

Congrats Lulu! yay!!!

Smith- Good luck with that! lol

Oh yeah... lost 3 lbs of water on the "IAN BEER" diet again last night... Horay!!

and Lulu almost to just overweight WELL that is wonderful! ( Hate those other mean horrible terms above overweight!! I would banish them from my kingdom!)

Smith.. Toe exercises? I have never heard of those... I hope that they work and don;t hurt too much!

173.5 this morning!!! stopped the almonds, only one drink with fake sugar this week too. Started watching more what I eat, not just snack.

rough start
 

my first few days were good, but then on friday my mom had me come to a suprise work party that they were throwing for her boss ( and I really didn't want to go because I was afraid my diet would be derailed) and my fears became a reality when I got to the party there was booze EVERYWHERE and WALL TO WALL FOOD. And I was coaxed into having a couple drinks- I had some sugar free drops i put in water- that i added to my drinks so i thought it wasn't as bad, but after a couple drinks my will power went down the tubes and I found myself eating half the homemade cheesecake.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: ( I'll tell you this tho, that cheesecake was one of the best things I had ever tasted before in my life- It was no ordinary cheesecake- I could have eaten the entire pie by myself.... but i think the other people at the party would have been a little upset... :o)
So now I'm a little discouraged because my sugar binge pooled into the next day, and now I feel terrible. I really want to get back on track- I have a job interview tomorrow and I would like to walk into it feeling good:D:D
Isn't the beginning the hardest? I'm just having a little toruble getting started I guess. I could use some encouragement and any tricks of the trade yall have :)

OH Muay... You just had one of those days! I am so sorry... Just dust yourself off and start right back on again... Right now! and yesterday will be a memory (and don't ask for the recipe of that cheesecake! LOLOLOLOLOLOL)...

My suggestion is to drink alot of water today... Just drink at least 64 oz and more if you can... That will wash away alittle of the toxins in your body and your will feel better. Once you have seized control today... Your mind will reward you with a great feeling that, yes you have control (as best you can) and if you have that ... you are darn well the best person for that job!.. :)

HUGS to you and let us know what happens! I like hearing good news! :)

I bet you had fun!! We threw a bash last weekend, it took me a week to get somewhat under control....I'm still fighting cravings at times. Hang in there, it'll get easier!
