For me it will be everyday as I need the accountability. I tend to overeat and make excuses for myself. But here I know that I am supported and will be held accountable and so far it's the only thing that has keep me in check for the most part, it's coming here everyday and posting my exercise, food and when I fall. It's my commitment to myself that I am worth it to spend 15-20 posting my exercise, food and connecting with others on the same path. I may not be able to read every post and do personals everyday but connecting and being accountability is an important part of my continued success.

I'm cool with whenever. Whatever's less work for you really. :) I've made it a habit of checking in here when I check in on the weight loss support threads so I'll answer. If not, IGetFit will kick my butt. ;) (I keed, I keed, not meant in a mean way at all! :))

So today marks my third day of continuous exercise. I didn't jog today, figured I'd give myself a break because I was going to tackle 30DS today. I walked 3.4 miles in just over an hour (1:05). Mr. Sunni was huffing and puffing to keep up. I think he's been a lump for too many hours today (he has never had a weight problem) so he was just tired and not mentally into it. Usually, I'm the one half jogging to keep up with him because his strides are so long! :dizzy: I came back and played the 30DS program. Got done with the warmup before I started feeling so hungry I figured I'd have dinner, rest and get back to it. I still haven't gotten back to it. I think I'm afraid of her workout...:lol: Ok ok, tomorrow morning. I can do it indoors so need to worry about cold weather and I can do it in my pjs. Alright, that's the plan.

Food today was good. I had another chip attack. We bought this bag of Terra chips (those colorful chips, red, yellow, blue and white stripes) at Costco and we've both been munching on them since Sunday. Sigh. We used to buy pita chips which I avoided just because they were too thick a chip (sounds weird but it took all the fun out of eating chips). This is a big temptation. Although when I calculated out the calories for this and the rest of the food I ate, not only do I have a 200 cal difference between activities and food, I also ate within my range!! :cheer2: YAY! This is the first day in...geez weeks??? that I've been within my range. :carrot: for me!

This is very excited. I feel my determination making a reappearance which is good. In the past, I'd get into these weight loss spurts and then just give up about 2 months in (coincidentally when I lost 5-6 lbs and felt happy about it) and then be a lump until I gained it back and start all over again. I realized that the last two weeks would have marked 2 months since I began this journey seriously (Aug 6, '09). That explains why I wasn't interested in counting calories or watching portions or exercising. I got to 155 and just figured "good enough," completely forgetting about my 145 goal. Le sigh. Just one of those things you learn about yourself, huh? :)

How's everyone else's week going? :hug: to all!

Wow, missed a lot of reading here. I'll go back and catch up later. I've been really tired the last couple days but I managed to drag myself to the gym today. It was rough, the whole time I was running i felt like a had boulders tied to my feet! But got it done. And I'm a runner up this week, wahoo!

Congrats to jesssicado and to the other runner ups!

Hello everyone. Just got home from teaching my adult class. Today was a good day here in SK. TOM has arrived but I'm doing good so far. Only 2 more working days left of the week. Woohoo! Haha. I did want to share something I find incredibily exciting. So I have shared with some of you that I work in South Korea at an English Village. Which is basically a school where students visit for 2 day or 3 day programs. It is a tool used to introduce students to learning English and give them real life situations. So we have classes like cooking, science, magic, airplane, restaurant, math, hotel, bank, etc. Well, we had our teachers meeting today to select what classes we will be teaching next month.....and.....I will either be teaching yoga (MTW) and music (TTH), or cooking (pizza toast and cookies) (M-F). Now, I would love to do the yoga because I would basically be exercising all day long for the month of November. But, if I get cooking instead I think it would be fun because I know I can control any craving I would have to want to eat the food. How do I know this? Because 1) I taught in math class next door to cooking class and smelled the food all day long for months and never had any, and 2) because I control what goes in my mouth.

So yeah, I'm super excited of the possibility of teaching a yoga class 8 hours a day, M-W for the month of November. Sorry just realized I'm being repetititve but I am SO SO SO excited!

Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday. It's sleep time for me. :) XOXO

We'll keep our fingers crossed that you get the yoga. And bonus points for your attitude. We can control what goes in our mouths......sometime I think I forget this. :p

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

No change in my weight this week (week 6).

Hope the rest of you have good results.:D

I was looking at the results thread and noticed the stats for our team are incorrect, so I p.m.ed Dixied. It says that I'm the red team week 4 biggest loser with 3.8 lbs lost, but I only lost 0.8 that week. Assuming the rest of the stats she had were correct that makes sunnigummi the week 4 biggest loser for our team.

I thought there was something a little off about week 4. The number I had come up with didn't match the "official" ones, but I couldn't figure out the problem. Good catch.

Yeah I noticed that as well because BlkBarbie25 should have been our biggest loser week 4.

Me Kick? Never! :o Perhaps a gentle nudge with my foot though! :D LOL

Well I checked that too. And that was inaccurate as well

Good morning ladies! Just wanted to pop in and say "hi!". It's been fun reading everyone's responses to the survey. Don't we have a mixed bag of people here?! It's awesome!
My weight has leveled off leaving me at 140 which is just fine and dandy with me for now. I got my workout in the morning and now it's time to go unstinkify! Have a wonderful day, girls!

Well I just read everyones getting to know you. Seems like most people still have their tonsels,like pizza, most people watched TBL tuesday night and everyone except for me like happy endings to scary movies. interesting to get to know everyone.

Been a busy week for me, the weather has been warmer and it feels great to get outside. I did exercise Monday and Wednesday and hope to also exercise Today and Friday. I have been eating ok this week staying within my calories but not necessarily eating great things. I did just find a magazine on the lunch table in the break room that tells how Kelly Osbourne lost 25 pounds fast and how the dancers on Dancing with the stars keeo fit. I hope it motivates me to stay away from the Chocolate!!

Also what does everyone think about Jillian Michaels new show??
