phat- I know how you feel, I've been through that in the past. Try to stay positive. Good luck with the job search
Lori- I love your new pic! you look so happy!
Corinne- thank you, I have been treating myself to junk quite often lately, my weight is up 6 lbs. I have to stop for a while now and start dieting again!
I really want to get my weight back down. It's gonna be two years of maintaining this August, i want to weigh the same as I did when I started maintenance, i was 108lbs. It is very important to me to be the same weight 2 yrs later, for me it means i can maintain for life if I make past 2 yrs. I've lost weight 2 times before and gained it back after 2 yrs of keeping it off. I don't want to be a failure again!
Started dieting today, had 1140 calories & 35min. of exercise. I'm up to 114.4, it's time to take action again! It's so hard for me, my husband & daughter eat whatever they want, I just want to be able to eat what I want, like they do. It's time to realize that if I want to keep this weight off, I can't eat like them. I don't care about staying away from fast food, pastas, red meat, starches or even pies. They can eat that stuff in front of me all they want, I don't even want it. It's the cake, candy, cookies, donuts, ice cream & peanut butter that tempts me. I crave it so bad sometimes that I think I have to have it, even if it means I have to go to the store and get it. The sad thing is that even if I try to eat a little bit of my favorites, it leads to more & more, like an addiction. It's best for me to not eat it at all, I have very little control anymore and I'm afraid I fail. Sorry for the rant, had to vent!

I know you can make your goal, good luck, and congrats on almost 2 years of maintaining!

k15g15,NorthernExposure,CorinneIrene,Jiggle & everyone else(sorry in a hurry)... Sending Hugs to all of u!!
~ In 3 days on May 17th My little girl will be 18 years old & Jiggles will be 3~Aint that awesome? ~~ woooohoooo I can kick mine out now~LOL I am just kidding but my hubby would like too!! ~
To our last 16 days May we all do our Best & Try our Best!!!!
(I am still on "tom" Weighed 130.2 today~It always goes back & forth ~especially during Bloating time LMBO!~Still happy.
Oh one last quicky thing before bed...I finally got to wear a nice warm weather tank dress I been wanting to wear without leggings!(i was so proud ~because this was took 2 days ago with "TOM" Bloat even!~Can't believe I actually did What I set out to do A little over 2 years ago~Lost the weight~SO NEVER GIVE UP~IF I CAN DO IT ANYONE CAN~I'm noone special Just Me~I know I aint a beauty queen but I am so far from my before pic & So much happier & healthier!(to see my before pic just click into my profile!) I actually "feel" sexy & That's a miracle!
Heres the pic below took 2 days ago~ Just Click to make it bigger.
So yesterday I ended up stuck at work pretty late (for nothing!) and decided to just go home and get an early workout Sat morning instead. I did OK on eating yesterday, even though I had a last-minute invite to a friend's place for dinner and drinks. I didn't do too bad, though. I weighed 145 yesterday and today I'm at 142.5, which is good considering I didn't even exercise. It was probably a lot of water weight, but I'll take it as a sign to stay on track today.
I'm going to the gym this morning for a BodyPump class (weight lifting) and will try to fit in 30 minutes on a treadmill or elliptical after that. Planning to get showered and all that at the Y, then head to the birthday party - that's at noon. I even packed a couple of turkey sandwiches so I won't be starving when I get there and pig out on pizza. Is it rude to not eat at the party? One bite of tempting food and I lose all self-control, so I think it's better to just not even try a slice.
Hugs to all who are struggling and great job to you gals that are doing so well with your program! I better get my stuff together and get on the road.

I might have to fain an upset stomach to keep me from even trying a bite. One bite and I know it will set off a binge. Thought I could leave work early today and get a head start at the gym, but now it looks like I'll be working late. Another bummer. I AM getting to the gym, though!
Great job to all you ladies who are trying so hard! I wish I had found more self-control this week. It was a very tough week for me. I hope to report back better results soon.
I've been sucking at this challenge too, so I love Dairy Queen and I literally have nothing to offer in the way of advice. Just try your best to keep the sweets at a minimum and if you need to feign sickness and just drink water all night, do it. And we ALL have bad weeks hun, it's a part of this journey and you WILL come back next week with a good report, I KNOW you can...you can do it

Let's keep up the good work everyone! Have a great weekend. Oh, and here's a pic of my new tattoo.
I LOVE YOUR TATTOO, I have 2 foot tattoos and I love them and I knew you would get back down to 114, it was just a matter of time

Either way, not the WORST decision! having an apple for a snack today and even though my lunch/dinner is loaded with carbs (lean cuisine- tortilla crusted tilapia) Its still relatively low sodium and low calorie!! maybe i'll think up something really healthy for my meal later after i do Turbo Fire!!? Hmm.. i want something light but something easy... not sure what, maybe fish again... i'm open to suggestions.
And i have a question. Anyone have opinions on the Healthy Choice steamers? i had the Rotini and Zesty Marinara yesterday.. it wasnt the best tasting thing in the world but are they really any good for you? When i went to put it in my calorie counter, the thing i pulled up said and equivelant 6.95 oz of pasta and sauce is only 165 calories but my meal was 300. Not sure if thats an accurate comparison. Would it just be better calorie and carb wise to just cook pasta from a box with tomato sauce?
Thanks! Happy Friday Everyone!
Oh and i have a weigh in sunday that i'm a little unsure about. been up and down all week weighing in at the gym and at home.. Hopefully itll be at least 2 lbs... and then i have a bridal shower on sunday with a breakfast buffet... hopefully there will be yogurt and fruit or something. Breakfast is kinda a weakness for me. Any suggestions on how to do well with that too?
LOL, yea we both seemed to have stepped off the deep end but like I said, kick my butt and I'll kick yours and breakfast is my ultimate weakness, I love breakfast food: pancakes, waffles, bacon, omelets...oooh, I am making myself hungry. I'm sure your weigh-in will be great.
Soooo, I weighed in at 232.0 this morning but it's a total fluke, I would like to be all but I'm actually all because the weight loss came after nearly drinking myself to death during a Bourbon tasting and then coming home and throwing up every single thing I ate yesterday...and maybe the day before. No more Bourbon tastings for me! I'm on a weekend juice fast, so that means no solid food for 48 hours, I have done it for much longer before, so I'm pretty confident. Monday starts my 8 weeks block of bootcamp so that should be fun, but it will definitely slow down my weight loss...which is okay because it will be muscle and toning, not just being a fatty (which is what I've been lately) okay, I'm rambling, have a good weekend peeps, this challenge is halfway over, let's make this half count even more!!!
Yeah! The scale was kind, I lost 2 more pounds. Only 8 more pounds until I'm "normal" weight, I think it's been 10 years since I have been normal weight.
I think I am going into starvation mode. I haven't been eating as many calories as I should (not on purpose). Today I weighed in at 115.8, yesterday 114.8. I'm really feeling down.
Thanks ekicna~Now if I can get to looking like your avatar pic I would be in there!
Way to go K15G15!!! (Goodluck with those next 8 pounds u can so do it!)
Fit4Lyfe~That is so funny (with having 6 years for him to go & waiting LOL! I can relate) BTW I LOVE LOVE LOVE~Your bracelets & shades! ~your whole avatar pic ~u look super cool! U look awesome!
Everyone else off to get a quick look at my recently bloomed flowers ~then start cooking & Browse Facebook. TTYS!! HOPE EVERYONE HAS A SUPER SATURDAY!
Hola chicas.. Im still in a huge slump, but I do feel better.. I havent done much job hunting this week, but next week Im gonna go hard at it.. I have 2 interviews for next week so hopefully those go alright .. Everytime I think about it, it makes me sick!! Im gonna keep praying & keep my spirits as high as I can.. thank you ladies for everyone who gave me a bit of encouragement & comfort .. it REALLY helps me, please believe .. I will be back soon for a complete update.. until then.. buenos noches, senoritas..
I know you can make your goal, good luck, and congrats on almost 2 years of maintaining! 
woooohoooo I can kick mine out now~LOL I am just kidding but my hubby would like too!!
