169 this morning. All I did yesterday was eat. Yikes! Back on plan

Well, I am just starting but I would really like to be out of the 240's by the end of October. I will just keep counting those calories!

Hi every one. My October goals are to get into the 160's and I've also cut out all meat for the month.

Hope every one's doing well

196.8 this morning! Yay! That's over 3 pounds down so far this month.

Good job Coolmom

Thank you! Last month I lost 4 pounds in the beginning and stalled for the rest of the month. I wonder if I'll do that again.

Three mile bike ride to the library and back. I'm sweaty after just the three. Baby steps.

Hope I am not too late.

My October Goals:

**Lose 12 pounds (from 260 to 248)
** Do 30 Day Shred ( I am for real this time!!) + other scheduled workouts.
** Stay on plan. Have moderate, planned "cheats" NOT binges!!
** Go down to my next size!

I am already down 1 pound.

Never too late!

168.5 this morning. I know its water but still don't like seeing it

coolmom- good job!!

me: bloated. stressed, not weighing, but need to get back on track and white knuckle/ somehow teach myself that if i want to indulge in "beverages" then i need to eat less. i also need to learn to stop at 2 as it's going to be a looooong over indulgent weekend and i'm bloated already. GRR

I'm already over budget for today and I'm feeling "cheaty." I'm craving a giant salad with artichoke hearts, kidney and garbanzo beans, cukes, feta and greek olives...tomatoes and dressing. I can't believe I'm lusting over a salad but tomorrow I'm going to hit the store and make it happen.

I'd also love to indulge in 2-3 homemade strawberry margaritas. At over 300 cals a pop there is no way to make that happen unless I really want to blow my week.

I feel off this week. Harder than I ever have. Not weighing tonight at all, I will weigh tomorrow and I won't be stocked to see 190ies

168.5 again this morning. Still want to believe this is water

coolmom- sometimes you just have to live your life, indulge and get back on to it!

brigettedavis- i'd take a moment and sit down and think- this is the internal struggle i always have (since our numbers are SO similar) - am i going to go into a full on face in fridge situation if i weigh and see the good number now? or am i going to be in a full-on face in fridge situation if i weigh in a couple of days of being "good" and the numbers are still a little bloaty? i think sometimes i would rather weight after the damage has been done- realize that the body is storing extra "energy" (cals)- and use that to justify feeling a little hungry through the first 1-2 days of knuckling myself back into it.

toobig- looks like you and i are doing the hover around the same group of numbers. i like to call it "surprise maintenance". hahah


me- 180.2.
ill take it. lets hope it's not higher then 180.2 on wednesday which is when i will weigh after my trip. fingers crossed.

(i will also be 3fc lite for the next couple of days due to my trip!! make me proud chickies!!)

"surprise maintenance".

Made me smile! Thank you, and try to enjoy your trip!
