Well, it was a BAD weekend for me healthy eating-wise. It all started Friday night when dude wanted to go tp Pizza Hut for dinner. It continued throughout Sat when he pissed me off and I went to bed mad and depressed. This is a man who will buy me the junk, and then act like the effing food Police when I actually eat it. Who the **** does he think he is? Don't buy the crap for me and then act like that when I eat it ya moron! grrrrrr:mad:
It seems that I have NO self control. I shot all the way up to 207 and I am AMAZED the scale actually say's 204 this morning. it is STILL more than my starting weight and even more than my TOM weight last week. I sort of got it under control yesterday and went walking and bought some carrots, and the little jello pudding's @ 60 calories a pop and even some light pringles that are 60 or 70 calories for 14 chips. If he insists on eating JUNK in front of me, at least my junk isn't near as bad as his. LOL! I did surrender to the monkey bread last night and thought it was gonna do me this morning, but I guess not. Oh, my gators lost and the GA Bulldawgs got slammed by the VOLS which totally pissed me off. How embarrassing. I'm not a Dawg's fan, but I am from GA and I live in VOLS country where they cram them down your throats so much I have come to totally HATE them....so that sucked...

The good news is, my REDSKINS slammed the Lions! I mean them boys played some serious foosball!!!!! I was most proud!!!! We rescued 3 little kittens on the way home from Pizzahut, that someone just tossed on the side of the road. I did like I said sort ot kind of get the food thing under control...somewhere lost 3 of the 5 I had gained, and today is a new day!!!!! I am totally getting it together and I guess it's gonna have to be a one day @ a time thing for me. I've also decided that everything he buy's for me (the junk) I am going to save in a lil' bag and either give it to the kid or take it to the food bank.

Gonna force some more exercise today. I feel a lil' nauses, I'm thinking it's my bodies way of saying, STOP filling me with junk woman!!!!!!

Shay 10-08-2007 09:52 AM

Diva--We all have days like that. You just pick yourself up and move on which is what you are doing.

Congrats to all the losers!

Well, it looks like I panicked and used the freebie too soon. I would have reported a 1.5 pound weight loss which I believe means I'm still a little bloated. I stand corrected Melissa :)! That's okay I will just report a bigger loss next week. TOM will be coming at least one more time during the contest and I will wait it out next time.

Diva 10-08-2007 10:14 AM

I think I am having a Junk food hangover. Is that possible?

Hun.e.B 10-08-2007 10:57 AM

Good Morning Red team!!!

Diva...its absolutely possible to have food hangover! I get it all the time when I eat stuff I'm not supposed to. Just keep chugging along..make those good choices! Good for you for arming yourself with some healthy alternatives to the junk food!

likenoother....Way to go on that loss!!! Excellent job! Next week the numbers will just be that much better! 1.5 lbs lost even with AF...WOOHOO!!

muse....WOOOHOO!!! Girl you are just shrinking away right in front of us!! Congrats on meeting another milestone! And keep up the fantastic work...before too long you'll be saying "I LOST 100 LBS!!" Can you even imagine how fantastic that is gonna feel?

Bridgette...OMG!! 5lbs gone!! That is incredible!!! Excellent excellent job!! Those darn broncos! Sorry they lost ya $10, I wouldnt put money on em LOL...our defense is HORRIBLE this year!

Kelli...my grandpa is really blunt with me too. I'm so looking forward to when I see him in May. The last time I saw him he said "well your a big girl arent ya?" All very loving but still..cuts! So glad people are seeing all your hard work!!

~melissa

Diva 10-08-2007 11:29 AM

A friend and I are also doing this together, and she is going back to the points on WW this week, so I am thinking that in addtion to counting calories, I may dig out my books and do the WW Points myself, at least for the first 10 to 20 lbs. :)

Hun.e.B 10-08-2007 11:48 AM

Sometimes a little structure in the beginning can make a HUGE difference. At least to get you up and out of the gate.

LeedaRenee 10-08-2007 12:18 PM

I know I haven't posted in awhile, but I thought I would pop in to update. I'm down to 197.2 which is putting me very near to 30lbs total lost yay!

I am still trying to train for my 5k at the end of the month. I am pretty sure that I won't end up running the whole thing, but some running is better than none.

likenoother--I have an Enell sports bra and it works pretty well, especially for well endowed ladies like myself. They cost a lot but are wll worth it.

Sugar-N-Spice 10-08-2007 12:21 PM

Good Morning Red!

Bridgette, CONGRATZ on your 5! Simply marvelous woman! :dancer: I hope you're enjoying your new jeans! ;) Never can discount those Chargers and good ole Ladanian! I grew up in SD so I'm partial to those guys but my true idolship is to the Colts. :D

Muse, you are doing fabulous! 2 pounds is fantastic! :carrot:

Melissa, I can't even believe you're down 15 pounds already, that is just awesome!!! :flow2:

likenoother, wtg on that loss chicky! And with AF being here too, I'm so jealous!!! :p Good for you!!


I have had a really rough week with the scale the last couple weeks. Last week was a 7.5 lb gain for no reason at all, which I took a freebie. This week, despite busting my butt still, I am still up 3 :mad::devil::devil::mad::devil::devil: I am NOT a happy camper, sorry girls I really really tried to burn it this week in hopes of even a small loss. *sigh* It is what it is, I can't do anything about it but to keep moving and pray next week I end up with a humungous loss somewhere! :^:









Shay 10-08-2007 02:38 PM

I know I know...I think Melissa and Idealmuse have both lost 15 lbs so far. Way to go ladies.

Melissa & SugarNSpice--I'm shocked I've lost weight during TOM. When Melissa posted that she had lost during TOM I thought I would test it out. I was too scared to not take a freebie week but I will wait it out next time.

LeedaRenee--I actually purchased MC's "Fiona". We'll see how that works out. It should be here any day now. I'm not ready to run yet because I want to be careful with my foot but I will do some "testing".

Katiebobatie 10-08-2007 03:20 PM

Hey guys, just wanted to check in and say hey :) I didn't have the greatest week this week, but I know it's mostly because my husband was home a bunch, so I had to contend with him bringing home fast food, soda, etc.

Diva 10-08-2007 04:14 PM

I hate to say it but I am convinced that my dear sweet hubby to be is my complete and total Diet enemy!!! :D

But I am fighting back!!! I am armed with healthy snacks and so far so good today!!! I still have lots of calories & points to spare!:carrot:

Shay 10-08-2007 04:24 PM

Diva I was having that issue myself. My bf and I would be "bad" together. He actually got his act together before I did. He has lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time but that's how it is with men.

Hun.e.B 10-08-2007 07:41 PM

Still waiting on some weighins ladies:

april_showers (will be eliminated if doesnt weigh in)
bee optimistic (will be eliminated if doesnt weigh in)
dene71 (will be eliminated if doesnt weigh in)

Sorry Melissa! I weighed in but I forgot to get rid of the Monday:?:. OOPS I fixed it now :dizzy: Some days I could forget my own name.

Thing is with my guy, he doesn't need to lose weight. He's tall and skinny and can eat whatever he wants whenever. It so sux! you shd see the food this man piles on his plates. He totally doesn't understand how hard it is for me and how it hurts my feelings when it seems like he doesn't give a crap. I've been struggling with this for 2 yrs now and I've gained more than I've lost. he sabotages me ALL the time. He's the enemy...totally...sigh...

mikelli 10-08-2007 07:52 PM

Diva my dh is tall and skinny too! He eats all kinds of junk and never gains anything!! I have tried to not give in and eat what he does but it is HARD!! :tantrum:

cmbmom05 10-08-2007 08:27 PM

Hi all, I'm still kicking around.
I didn't lose this week, but I didn't gain either. Sorry I'm not helping the team more. Exercise didn't happen much this week and the food part hasn't been all that great. I think my body is trying to get into 'hibernation mode' or something. :P I won't let that stop me though.

I do have a great NSV. I bought a heart rate monitor (on clearance at wlly-world) and used it Friday. I managed to walk fast enough to keep my heart rate up above 150 for *almost* an hour, 50-55 minutes. I did 3.33 miles in 50minutes which doesn't sound great but I think comes out to about 3.5 miles an hour. I was shocked I could do it. :cool: I didn't feel wiped but think that if I can move like that for 5 miles, I can stop trying to kill myself with the 9 miles at a slower pace.

Tonight I also walked about the same distance in an hour, but that included a major hill (near my mom's house, not mine). I slowly and carefully jogged down the hill, even the flatter parts. I think I jogged about 2/3 of the way down. Way too freaking cool for me. :D My monitor kept beeping at me because my rate was up in the 180s while climbing the hill. I hate how hard I breathe walking up the hill like that because it doesn't feel like I'm fit but I guess the fact that I can do it is great.

Our HR person at work lives up at the top of the hill and I think he drove by me while I was jogging. It had to have been him because once the car was past me it slowed down a bit. You know how you slow down as if you can't believe that you saw whatever you saw? LOL So now I guess he will tell all of the managers that he saw Missi *jogging*. He was already telling them about the last time he saw me hauling butt on my 6 mile walk near my house. Proof that being fat/overweight doesn't mean we don't exercise or try to take care of ourselves, right ladies?!

Week 4 Survey:

1.What is your trigger food?(the one you really struggle to say no to like Bob and his cupcakes last night on the show?) Ice cream

2. What is your favorite healthy snack?champagne grapes or black grapes if the first aren't in season
3. Which would you rather have...a new pair of shoes or a new piece of jewelery?shoes, I wear those more often. jewelry is great but something I have to work at remembering

4. What kind of purse do you carry...small but efficient or large and prepared? on the small side

5. Do you collect anything? books, horse pics, models etc, notebooks, stickers

6. Do you plan on treating yourself to something besides a new wardrobe when you reach your goal? What is it? I'm thinking of a new piercing when I get down to 200. My ultimate goal reward would be a tummy tuck, including the muscles tightened. OUCH!
7. What was the last goal that you went for and acheived? To bring my blood sugar down before my check up at the end of works' BL challenge

8. Would you rather be outdoors or indoors? outdoors when it's about 60-70, not too breezy. Perfect walking weather.

9. Have you started decorating for Halloween yet? No way.

10. What about yourself are you most proud of? my intelligence and common sense.


My fingers are crossed that all of us lose weight this week! :hug:

Shay 10-08-2007 10:59 PM

My BF is skinny now and he continues to eat healthy thank goodness. The day he said now that I am healthy I really don't want to have to worry about you and he was visibly upset made me even want to take care of me more. Granted I am doing this for myself and my health but its great to know how much he cares.

I'm giving a warning now. In the next few weeks I may not be on here as much d/t work and school. I say that now but I'm a night owl so I may still be on here a lot. I was saying that just in case. This helps me cope.

Diva 10-09-2007 07:29 AM

Okay, I am so happy for 3FC's! You guys are my sounding board, like it or not, so I am just gonna put this out there. My man is a wonderful guy. He's smart, funny, loyal, responsible, sweet, gentle (most of the time). His only flaws are money tends to burn a whole in his pocket, he smokes, and then there's this "life style change" I am trying to make. Without even realizing it, he is sabotaging my every move, my every attempt to behave. By being-have I mean, staying within calories & points, exercising, and eating "healthy".

He doesn't seem to realize or even care that when he eats and drinks sweets in front of me, how hard it really is for me, how unfair it is and how much it hurts my feelers. I can't say anything because the last time I did we got into a HUGE arguement, he hurt my feelers and I stayed pissed off for months, ****, I am STILL pissed off.

All that being said, this place makes it easier for me because at least here I have a sounding board, and hopefully a few of you know exactly what I am going through. This weight loss thing is VERY hard and if it weren't for my being able to come here and complain about him, I don't think I could do it. This weekend I gave in. I said screw it, obviously he LIKES me this way, and I ate, and ate, and ate some more, until I felt sick, and woke up yetserday with a junkfood hangover.

I am OVER that! I LIKE feeling healthy and in control....So, I just want to apologize now, because for the next year or so, y'all have to put up with me, or mute me, LOL! AND I want to thank you for being here. :hug:

dream710 10-09-2007 07:56 AM

Diva-hang in there.:hug: I've been reading your posts about your struggles with your honey trying to sabatoge (sp) your diet. Do you think that he's insecure? I'm just wondering if he is trying to make it this difficult on you because he's afraid if you lose the all this weight that you might leave him? Many years ago, while working on my weightloss efforts, my husband made that comment to me. It pissed me off, I thought what a a-hole you think that I'm that shallow, but anyways.. Let me know if there's anything I can do for ya. I think you are very determined to lose this weight (esp. with what your up against) and I know you can do it. The times that I eat the worst are when I'm with my husband and daughter, so I make up for that by eating as healthy as possible at work. I try and get most of my water in during that time. I get up before everyone else to have my me time (exercise time) that way I don't have everybody interupting me and can focus on what I want to accomplish with this lifestyle change. It helps me stay focused. I see that you started counting calories. This is the only that I've been able to stick with. I can eat a variety of things-good and bad- and still stay within my calories for the day, which is something that I've made part of my everyday life.

Just take it one day at a time. YOU CAN DOOOO ITTT :carrot: :carrot:

Take care of yourself

Bridgette.

Diva 10-09-2007 09:02 AM

I hate saying anything negative about him, but yeah, I totally think it's his insecurities. I've even pm'ed back and forth with Melissa about this.

He has written me love letters and made comments that have started with, "I know I am not the bestest looking guy" but.... So I know he has some issues, but I don't care about all that. I love him because of who he is and NOT what he looks like. His last 2 serious relationships, BOTH girls end up cheating on him and breaking his heart. No he's not the most handsome man I've ever been with, but he does have an awesome body, a really cute booty in jeans, he's smart, and he makes me laugh ALL the time. He has even asked me that last yr when I first did WW, was I going to leave him when I get thin?

I don't think it's even a conscious(sp) thing on his part...he just does what he does. I hate to think of him as the (Diet)Enemy, but somehow, it's making me MORE determined than ever to "show him"...yanno? I did so well yesterday, and I am doing what you do, eating healthy, exercising and getting a lot of water in while everyone is gone, and making sure I have ALOT of points & calories left for dinner, and even an after dinner snack or cappicino(sp) with him.

Now if only I could stop weighing myself everyday, LOL! :dizzy:

Mercee 10-09-2007 09:21 AM

Sorry team I didn't get to post my weigh-in so I will have to take a free week. My computer at home was down and I was off work. I did lose but I will wait and post next week . Congrats to all the losers and maintainers.!!!

Hun.e.B 10-09-2007 09:50 AM

Good Morning Red team!! Way to go on a Red Team win this week!! We ARE the biggest losers!!

Today is my morning where I dont have alot of time so I'm gonna keep it short and wish you all a FANTASTIC day!! "see" you this afternoon!!

~melissa

Sugar-N-Spice 10-09-2007 11:31 AM

Go Red Team! :dance: Go Red Team! :dancer:

You guys did awesome!!!! :carrot: WTG to all of our losers this week, keep it up!

No time for personals this morning, have volunteer work at DD's school, but had to stop by and tell you all how proud I am!

Have a FABULOUS day Red!!!!!!

Shay 10-09-2007 11:35 AM

Whew we do have some big losers! Way to go team!

I have a restaurant meal coming up on Friday. I've set aside some of my extra flex points for that. I'm not sure where we will go so I can't pick out my menu ahead of time but I will be okay. TOM is still here. I guess this is a 7 day visit vs the normal 5.

Hun.e.B 10-09-2007 07:22 PM

Good Afternoon Red Team!! Congrats to us all on an amazing win this week!! So I've got the tally at 2 wins for blue team, 1 win for red team and 1 tie. Not too shabby so far!! But, blue team is gunning for us, so is black so lets really kick it up a notch this week and pull out some more amazing numbers! I love how consistant we've been with our losses...thats a TRUE sign if success...so GO RED!!

Okay, so I rode my bike to class today. I almost didnt because it was so foggy this morning but I just did it anyway and man was I glad! Such a beautiful fall afternoon. Then I went and ran a TON of stairs at my daughters school. Its 3 stories and whenever I'm doing my PTA stuff there it never fails...up and down and up and down. Good heart work!

Dont forget TBL is on tonight! I'm ready for my Bob dosage! LOL!

Alright, enough procrastinating for me I need to hit the homework! Have a wonderful evening Red team!! Stay the course!! We are doing GREAT!!

Diva 10-09-2007 09:50 PM

Wtg Red Team!!!!
 
:cheer: Congratz on the win this week Red team!!!!:cheer:

I did good calorie wise today on 1479 but I had to spend 5 Bonus (Flex) Points of the 35 extra today. The good news is I resisted JUNK when the DF was so inconsiderate as to eat potato chips and Sweet cereal right in front of me. grrrrrrr He does this right after I go on and on about how I am going be skinny and my plans and whatnot...Maybe I shd keep my excitement and plans to myself and just share with you all, LOL!

Anywho, I DVR'ed TBL, so I'll catch it in the morning. Hugs all...

Idealmuse 10-10-2007 06:15 AM

Hi Girls -

My little non-scale victory for the week is i finally added a set of risers to my step tonight. I got through 30mins of Cathe Basic Step and even did a Turbo Jam afterwards. That's on top of having less then 100 to lose as of this week so it's been a good couple of weeks.

Diva - Maybe suggest to him that he can eat at home whatever he likes that you don't and and eat the junk you have issues with at work? Kinda sucks he's not being that supportive it's hard enough as is. I feel bad for my husband there are never any treats around anymore so I brought him a little bag on M&Ms home from the supermarket today.

Hun - Horray for a good ride! What are your plans for when it gets cold?

Like - Who you calling a big loser? :) Hope you have a nice meal on Friday!

Mer - What will we do when our computers are down? My huband wouldn't know what to do with himself.

CMB - hows the HRM going? 150 for that long is awesome! I have one too but Im too lazy to wear it most of the time that chest strap gets on my nerves. BTW be careful jogging downhill its actually worse for the knees I hear then doing it on flat ground.

Shay 10-10-2007 07:02 AM

Okay I think TOM is finally outta here. So I think the bloat will be totally gone in the next day or so.

I couldn't remember if my meeting this Friday was going to be in Charlottesville or Richmond. Generally if my meeting is in Charlottesville we eat at Applebees. Its in Richmond. Last time in Richmond, we ate thai food. So I will tentatively plan for thai food.

I really want to post a big loss for the team for week 5. I would be happy to achieve a double digit overall loss but I would love to post a 5 or 6 lb weekly loss. If I don't that would be okay but if I do that would be even better. I think the most I ever lost in a week was 7lbs. Once I begin the C25K in November that will help with my weekly weight loss.

Idealmuse 10-10-2007 07:19 AM

I usually only ever have a "Big" Loss within the first week or two of changing my way of eatting. I think the most I've lost in 7 days while doing this was 5 pounds and that was 1/2 TOM water weight. It's nice to have big numbers but you shouldn't feel bad if it doesn't happen. The most I ever lost in one week was 10lbs the first week after starting weight watchers one time.

Not sure how much I'll lose this week my scale wants to creep up and taunt me a bit already so hopefully it will work itself out since I still have awhile to go for the week... but I'm not expecting a big # :(

-muse

cmbmom05 10-10-2007 08:33 AM

Muse- strangely enough, my legs or knees didn't bug me as much as they usually do when I try to push myself to walk fast, etc. They usually end up feeling like jelly-legs and my bad side likes to spaz on me, even if I take a warm shower. This time they didn't! I remembered you, I think it was, talking about jogging downhill on another thread while I was trying that. :D Honestly, I was "jogging" so slow down that hill that a real jogger wouldn't consider it jogging, but I did it. Hee.

I love the HRM so far. I actually forgot I had it on the first time I wore it and had it on all day. I wear it right under my bra so am not usually aware of it. I can't believe that I kept my rate up that high that long. I didn't feel too tired but don't think I could walk 9 miles like that. :P

Way to go on the steps. Doesn't it feel goof every time we advance some way in our exercise or health? :carrot:


Diva - I just don't understand the Dh's and DBFs that aren't supportive! Share with us all you like because you know that we are all on the same journey and I at least love hearing everyone's stories.


Hun - WTG on the ride. Maybe next summer I can start riding again like I used to when younger.

Like - Great job on planning ahead. How do you keep yourself in line?! What's your secret?

Ok, going to get ready to head out for my walk. Have a good day all!

Diva 10-10-2007 08:38 AM

Man, if I could just get back down into the 190's, I'll be happy. I am so over being 200+. :( Day 3 on the WW's. I did really good the past couple of days and I feel proud. I had a very stressful day yesterday, teamed with DF eating junk in front of me, and I managed to behave. I am SOOOO PROUD of myself. :)

Muse, we've had thie discussion about him eating what I can't in front of me, and while he intially agreed not to, one day he just stopped, and when I said something, we got into a HUGE arguement, that left me hurt and pissed off for months. We rarely argue but when we do, they are dossies. He is already resentful that I make him go outside to smoke, so he think's that since HE is the one who works and pays the bills, that if he wants to eat an effing bowl of cereal in front of the TV, he will! His words... Every since then I haven't said anything to him about it. I've given in, joined him, and climbed my way to over 200 LBS. THIS is what makes me normally sweet and gentle man a total ***. As you can all see, THIS is my BIGGEST hurdle right now. I don't know how to make him, a skinny person his entire life, understand what I go through and how hard this is. It IS building up in me though, and even though I come here and vent, the monster is building in me and I may just totally explode on his ***. He wants me fat so I won't leave him. I wouldn't leave him when I get skinny, IF he was supporting me instead of making it hard, but honestly, right now, I am thinking, When I get thin, if he has made it complete **** for me to do this, my mindset might totally be different and there's a damn good chance that when all is said and done, my explosion might come at the end of my journey while I am packing my bags instead of getting a wedding dress.

Anywho, watching last night's TBL. I am LMAO @ the floats things and them falling off. That is SOOO me in the summer at the lake. I fight with my float ALL the time. :D

Idealmuse 10-10-2007 09:00 AM

cmb - well I'm totally impressed with the jogging. I still have been a wuss to attempt it myself except doing it in some of the DVDs that have little Jogging sections in them.

Diva - Well thats why I wondered if he can't NOT just eat that stuff if he could switch to other "Bad" things but just ones you didn't like? Cereals you don't like etc? Who does the food shopping?

You know also, it might not be that he's being thoughtless maybe he has the same kind of food issues but doesn't want to talk about it? You're strong for being able to do this with junk in the house though... I have to banish certain things from the house because just can't behave. :(

Okay I'm still awake from yesterday. Ugh so going to take a long nap. ZZzzz...

-muse

Diva 10-10-2007 09:19 AM

We usually do the shopping together, and being poor some weeks, I can't always get the "healthy" stuff I need. The junk still gets bought and put away in cabinets that i don't go in. Out of site, almost out of mind, lol!

We live in very small quarters. The living room is where everything is, Tv, computer's and what not. We do have a TV in the bedroom. So in the evening's and weekends when he does this is usally during our "time" together. I think it's unfair that I have to drop everything and leave the room just because he wants a bowl of cereal @ night before he goes to bed. IMO it just draws attention to the fact that I am feeling deprived, yanno?

Even though he is tall and skinny and has NEVER struggled with his weight a day in his life, he def usues food as an emotional crutch, just like I do. When life is stressful around here, he wants all his comfort foods stocked up. Chillie cheese fries and dogs, Choc cereal, chips, and so on... Obviously I am going to have to break down and have this convo with him, but when is the question. I just know it's gonna turn into another arguement, and I will be working full time againm real soon... I can honestly say that if he pisses me off about this, I will be packing my bags. Once I am not finacially dependant upon him, I'll put up with a **** of a lot less. I am a Diva yanno. :)

Hun.e.B 10-10-2007 09:31 AM

Good Morning Red team!! Up and at it early this morning as my dd has an orthodontist appt bright and early before school. Then I'm volunteering at her school doing some laminating and copying...great fun!

So I probably wont see you till this afternoon to catch up with everyone and see how FANTASTIC I just know you are doing!

Girls...I'm thinking about getting a job...an internship really. Am I crazy?

Have a good one!

Diva 10-10-2007 09:48 AM

You go girl!!! I hope you get it if ya want it. :)

I'm thinking and praying about a particular job now for a while. I haven't worked in 5 or 6 yrs so I am scared, but I also would like a second income in this house. it's at the same place as DF but in a diff dept, so we'd only see eachother @ lunch. :) Right now some druggie chic has it, but she didn't show up for work yesterday, didn't call in or anything, and they usually fire after that, so hopefully the job I want is open for me!!!!! Crossing fingers...

Anywho, gotta run to the store for Milk and rabbit food. :)

Good Mornin' Red! :flow1:

likenoother, I think you'll do great while away. You're ahead of the game by preparing yourself and thinking of what could possibly lay before you, you'll do awesome!

muse, WTG on upgrading on your workout. Also, wow you have less than a 100 now, you are shrinking!!!

diva, much luck to you trying to tame the wild BF. ;) Men can be absolutely stubborn for sure, I know mine is! I have really tried to learn to ignore all his junk food, much of the things I love. I know it's hard, but you CAN do this. Gotta think, what do you want more, the snack or the weight loss?? Maybe once he sees that "his junk" has no affect on you, it will lose its appeal to even him and he'll quit buying it so much? that's a tricky one, but I know you can get thru it. You've done super on 3 days of WW, KUTGW!!

cmbmom, great work with that HRM, good for you!! You have much to be proud of this week with all you are doing working out.

Mel, good luck at the ortho, I already paid my dues there this past week already with DS. lol Tomorrow's my day doing copying at DD's school, do you do middle school or elementary? I hope you've been doing great with your plan!

Well, got a sick one home from school good times! LOL...means i get to play hookie too LOL! Too bad I didnt have so much homework.

Muse...I hope you are getting some sleep! Crazy girl! My plan for when it gets too cold to ride is my elliptical. I never use that thing!

Danielle...today I was doing middle school, but as you know I do both. Gotta go do the elementary school this afternoon...fundraiser...you know that story I'm sure!

Diva...I'll keep my fingers crossed for that job! I still cant make up my mind if I wanna apply for this one. I suppose it doesnt hurt to just submit my resume and see what happens.

Alright...I'm hungry! Time to figure out lunch! Have a wonderful afternoon Red team!

likenoother, I think you'll do great while away too! Like Sugar said, you're already ahead of the game by thinking about it and making a plan. Just remember portions and stay away from Breads, sauces and gravies and you'll be fine.

Muse, WTG on upgrading on your workout. And WTG on having less than 100 to lose!!! WoooHoooo!!!! I am in awe of you. :)



cmbmom, coolbeans with that HRM, good for you!! You girls are totally rocking! I wish I had kept my temper in check and was still "for real" on this team! Hopefully mel will snag me up next time around. :)

Mel, Crossing my fingers for you too on the job front. Sorry you have a sick child, but hey, maybe you can throw in an extra @ home workout? hehe

In addition to needing and wanting the extra cash flow, this job will be physical. So I am hoping that with eating right, doing WW, and having a less sedentary lifestyle, these LBS will melt off my person.

Sugar, thank you for your kind words. I am thinking you are right. I am totally giving him too much power. I am going to act like it's NO big deal and just keep ignoring it, like I did last night, and when he sees that I simply don't care anymore, maybe he'll stop. It's become VERY apparent that I am going to have to do this with NO help or support from him. it's ironic that the bestest man in my life, the one I want to marry and spoend the rest of my life with, isn't lifting a finger to help me through one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Kind of an eye opener for me...

Anyways, I have cabbage to chop, I am making the 0 Point veggie soup. :)

Cmbmom05--Its a control thing. Sometimes there is so much going on in my life that I feel a little out of control. Food is definitely something I can control. I plan my menus a week in advance and plan in treats here and there.

Idealmuse--I swear to goodness now that Melissa mentioned I am so close to double digits I can taste it...I am determined!

Diva & SugarNSpice--Ladies thanks for the confidence in me. I know I can do well too.

Diva--This is about you. You come first!

The sportsbra is here. The sisters will definitely not move. I think I may buy a different one--Maia for my next one before the month is up.
