Day 80. Such a pretty number. :)

Great job on those awesome numbers everyone!!! We're all doing really well!

Ok.. so the overeating needs to stop. Now. I've come here to say it so that I can stick to it. I stepped on the scale for the first time in a while, and I'm not happy. I am retaining water right now for a number of reasons, but not that much. I need to see food as fuel. Why can't I do that?.. why do I feel that I "MUST EAT" something? Just because something tastes good doesn't mean I NEED to eat it if I'm not hungry. I just don't get it. Anyway, I can take control of this. I'm a strong person and I succeed at other things. This is not different. I just need to commit 100%. I'm proud of myself for not binging, but I'm just not happy with my body here. I want to get to that place where I'm comfy, why am I making it so hard for myself? Anyway, it ends tonight.

Thanks for listening.

Tomorrow is Day 11 of no binging, and Day 1 of no overeating! :)

I am not back counting the days but I will. I want to get my mind "right", so to speak and also make some plans for foods to have on hand and also some healthy snacks to take with me to keep me away from the fast food windows.

Have a great Thursday everyone!

for some reason i am super excited that today is day 77...maybe because i feel so strong?!?! or that i get to teach spinning class today??? or that i am just happy and loving life???

i think it is fantastic that so many of us are "getting our head straight" right now... pushing through the cravings... one thing that has really helped me lately is staying away from high glycemic index foods... my cravings are way down and as soon as i 'indulge' in anything higher, i feel it right away!

i cannot believe it is thurs already! woo hoo... lets kick it!!!

I agree. This is a great time to get it together. Winter seems to be associated with comfort food and being lazy- its time to break the mold!

Im still doing good. I am on day 6 today. I struggled again last night- wanted to eat, wasnt hungry- would have eaten anything to satisfy... but I didnt. I made a yummy caffeine free coffee drink using a bit of milk and a bit of fat free swiss miss. It satisfied my craving without killing my daily calories. Im proud of my choice!

Tonight Im making a big ham dinner (having the IL's over). I will be going over my daily calories but I am going to load my plate with extra veggies and eat just a smidge of the naughty stuff. I am changing my usual recipes to make them lower calorie. I calculated everything out and Im looking at about 1200 calories for dinner... which will put me well over my daily... but Im NOT using it as an excuse to binge all day or all weekend for that matter. And Im making a pie but I will not eat a single bite- one bite will lead to 12 will lead to 100. Im going to say no to pie! Wish me luck!

Have a great day everyone!

168--I can't go back to day one, I just can't!

Day five is looking good! For the first time in well over a week, I ate totally on plan yesterday and that feels amazing!! I love waking up hungry - that's something I rarely experience because of night eating. Even with last week's disaster, I think I can still make my goal of 10lbs down by Thanksgiving and I can't wait!!!

Good Morning Friends!

Today is Day 17 and it feels great! I had a whoosh on the scale today so that always adds something nice.

We are doing great! Let's keep up the good work!! :)

paris...stay strong!!!!!!

Today is day 4 - a small number compared to all of you superstars!!

Julia - I understand the overeating thang. Not sure what it is about maintenance that is so darn HARD. It feels like getting the binging under control is a great first step, but the habit is just lying dormant under the surface & shows up as overeating. You can do this!! If only for 1 day - sometimes that is all we need to fuel more success.

Bonnie - way to go on the planning!! That is absolutely critical for me. I have to stop thinking so darn much about food! Just plan it out, and then eat what you have prepared. No thinking required :).

Kim - I am totally digging your positive vibes!! Such an inspiration to us all. Lead on, sister!! 77 days is amazing!!!

1HauteMama - sounds like you have a great plan in place. Dinner company is so hard, isn't it? I do great when everyone is there, it is the after party when the house is quiet & I'm cleaning up. Don't be afraid to throw out leftovers or send them home with your in-laws!

Paris81 - definitely NO TURNING BACK!! Wow - you do realize that is 1/2 a year, don't you? YOU ROCK!

YoYono - I am so impressed with your on-paln day. I need to have a couple of those to re-prove to myself that I can do it. Success just breeds more success. You WILL get to that 10 lb goal by Turkey Day!

Vixsin -Day 17 and you are rockin' it! And a nice "woosh" to boot? AWESOME way to start the day. Congratulations!!



Gotta get to workin, but I had to pop in. This thread has become an important part of my day, so thank you for sharing your stories & experiences. I definitely feel a little wobbly today and am nervous about the upcoming weekend. It will be just me & DD at home, which means lots of alone time. Not typically a great thing for me. I'm scheming on a plan right now, though, and will muster up the courage to stick to it. Expect to see me here OFTEN :D.

Happy Thursday, 3FC-friends.

Day 8.

Feeling tired today and went to the gym but could get in to mind set for a big workout so went for a steam room/sauna. Had an amazing session at the gym yesterday and squatted my own body weight (big mandmark!)

Feeling a little bit of the munchies tonight, already had an apple after dinner and will probably eat another one then early night. Gym tomorrow though.

Day 262! :)

Tyla :dust:

Day 9- Did fine today, yesterday was a rough one! I made it through with just over eating a bit. Too much junk around for Halloween!

Survived dinner. I did over eat my plan. I did not binge nor was I out of control, but I certainly was not on plan. For numbers sake I will start over tomorrow as day 1 since I did over eat and that is what I am trying to conquer. Plus my tummy is definitely telling me it over ate. yuck!
