Hey all! It looks like everyone is keeping it together (or at least trying! )
Coolmom: Nice job!!
Stimkovs: It's always hard not weighing! Self-control!!
Toobig: Good work and I hope the dentist goes well!

I've had a crazy few days and I'm still getting back into the groove of calorie counting. I took a few days due to just being out of the habit. I'm working on just counting more.
On the exercise front I'm doing well. I exercised Monday and Tuesday. I plan to do some yardwork and exercise a little later on today. But, I have lots to get done!
Take care guys!!

Coolmom- WTG!!!!

stimkovs - take a deep breath and hang on tight


princess- way to go on the workouts! I really struggle to get me up and moving

166 this morning. Its only two days until my every other month offical weigh in. Looks like I will be down for that. We have three birthdays in our family this weekend. We have six in September. Kind of weird. I hope everyone has a great day.

Had a bad eating day yesterday,but have done good so far today

Hope everyone is having a great day

thanks chickies, i weighed. it 184.4 . totally deserve it after tuesday.

head in the game, game face on, you know- the usual.

tdiprincess- baby steps!!

toobig- you're always down. bengal tiger strength and bulldog determination?

lisa- chin up, head out of fridge!


somebody please duct tape my mouth and place a "do not feed the animals" sign on me.

i had an AWESOME run this morning though. while only 4.94 k in intervals, this is still my personal best.

i have an interview today, and an appointment with the osteo-dude for my back. since i'm leaving for this whole she-bang at 12 45 pm, and i just had breakfast at 10 am- I am thinking of having another breakfast food for "lunch" and hardboiling an egg for the road, since i won't be home until about 6 pm earliest which will be dinner time, and then will hopefully make it to the studio for 8.

fingers crossed that nothing runs late!

BAD BAD day yesterday, but had an eye opener when my husband told me I looked like I had put some weight back on... (he's not ***, I asked him to do it if he ever noticed.) I was 188 this morning, so obviously I have put weight back on, no more excuses for this mama... I won't let go of everything I worked so hard for. Had a great day today and feel awesome about it tonight. We had Mexican last night, followed by two bags of skittles and an ENTIRE box of kashi crackers... so I know that the 188 was probably more like 185 or so.. but hoping to be back into the 170ies by sunday

165 this morning. I have decided to get a few pounds off before the holidays. I'm just going to do it. One calorie at a time. One workout at a time. I am worth it. It won't be easy but I know nothing worth having ever is.


ETA: Welcome back Bridgette!

Bridgette- it's the eye openers that give up motivation! that's really what got my head back in the game after my terrible regain.


180.0 this morning. ill take it.

dear body: lets finish october UNDER the 180s. PLEASE???

You can do it Bridgette! A friend and I had a coworker swear to tell us if we started gaining weight, this was a couple years ago and didn't work. He wasn't that brave after all

I weighed in at 128.8 this morning. I won't make my goal of 127 for the month but I'm okay with that. Any loss is a good loss!

181.8 this morning... come on 170ies!!

Today and yesterday have been going good. Yesterday I ran 2.25miles and walked about a mile. Not too bad for not running in a while. Kinda made me feel good since that means I haven't lost everything I've worked on.
As far as calorie counting I've been doing better about forcing myself to do it. I know when I first started last year I made myself do it every day during the week and then the weekends I gave myself a break until I just started doing it automatically. I think I may work on that for October.
I did my official weigh-in today to figure out exactly where I'm at and I came in at 148.5. For a couple days I was showing above that. Oy!
So I have a good starting point for October.
Going out of town for the weekend tomorrow. I hope ya'll have a great and enjoyable weekend!

Toobig: I like that mental attitude! One day, one calorie and one exercise at a time!
Stimkov: You'll get there! I hope your appointment went well! Have a great weekend!
Bridgette: We all have slides, it's what we do when it happens that defines us! Keep up the great work and the determination to not go back!

Later guys!

199 this afternoon.

It looks like September was a 5-6 pound loss instead of the 10 I was hoping for. October goals will include some increased activity via bike riding.

Zoe, you should be more excited about seeing onederland!!! It's a huge deal! I had a great day again today, I know if I can get a solid week down I'll be great.

I will be when I don't still see the 2 every other time I hop on the scale. Good job finding your motivation again!

164 this morning. I'll take it! And hold on to it for dear life

coolmom- You are doing great! You will be in the 180s before you know it.

tdiprincess- I hope you have a great weekend!

tzumom- WTG

bridgette- I am so glad you are back! You have been such a wonderful inspirsation

stimkovs- We are back on the horse! I hope your appt. went well
