Im still here!! I just got home from work and boy am I beat! Ive been eating excellent and ive been cheating and looking at the scale daily and it says im down 10 pounds!! I hope it stays that way for my weigh in on Friday!!
Randee-Great job!!! I'm sure if you keep your excellent habits your weigh in will be what you expect.
SwimGirl-Have you changed your exercise routine? Sometimes I'll go through a small gain if I've changed something there and kept my eating on track. Its a bit frustrating, but does mean that you're probably gaining muscle. Hang in there.
Cat-Congrats on the stairs victory! Doing anything holding a squirming 30 pound kid is a victory!!!! Hope your weight comes in good after TOM leaves.
kierr-Glad you had a good vacation. I'll bet that weight comes of in a big chunk right away. Have fun getting back on track in non vacation world.
Jenny-stay away from the kitchen! (Why is that so easy to say and so hard to do???)
callystia-2 pounds is 2 pounds. I count every little loss (even if its something I recently gained) it helps me mentally stay positive. Good job and keep it up.
I'm doing ok. Had a lot of extra stress the past 6 days and I've managed not to relieve it by mindless eating. My workouts have been a little dull, but I'm still moving.
Randee - congrats on the rocking weigh in! You are doing GREAT since your return
I am getting a TON of extra exercise in these days.. because of the snow - which is showing NO sign of leaving, I have to walk down to my car to go to work, and then after work, park it half way and walk up. Unintentional exercise - and boy can I feel it in my calf muscles!
So weird thing about my scale, I normally put it in the same spot because the bathroom is SO unlevel.. but lately that spot has been unlevel. I wonder if that has something to do with the extra 3 pounds it's showing? I moved it around this morning and found a fairly level spot, and it's saying 231 (which is where I thought I was). Do you think that an unlevel spot could make such a difference?
Sorry for running off on you ladies, I kinda forgot about this.
Aimee - You already know I think that unlevel will make the scale change... and sorry for running off on you this morning, my boss came in my office, lol.
I didn't exercise this morning cuz my body is kinda sore and my throat is getting sore (hope im not getting sick) - anyway I feel so guilty for not exercising and don't even wanna eat! bad bad! not exercising (when I just did 4 days of 75 min) isn't a big deal - why do I beat myself up? I MIGHT jump on later, even if only for 30 min... but prob not. I will probably take 3 days this week off instead of two and back at it on Monday.
Tomorrow morning we are going out for breakfast - sounds like this is going to be a weekly thing so I think I need to change my weighs ins to Sunday. I think I am down a bit this week but TOM is starting so I may not get a weigh in this week. I have been doing really well, average of 1500 cals a day and doing good with exercise
I'm in. I'm shooting for 12 lbs by the end of the month. I'm hoping this is reasonable since I am just starting in Phase I today. So far eating has been pretty easy. I tried combining 2 recipes from the book - veggie soup and added brown rice. I came home and the "soup" was up to the top of my crockpot! Wow - that rice really expanded -lol! It was very thick- I had to water it down. However, it is very cold and windy here today and havng a warm meal was really great!

Hi everybody, I'm still on track for my loss. I'll do an official tell all on Monday's weigh in, but I'm pleased with my exercise and really trying hard on the diet.
fatBgone-I think you do it just like your other ticker, but use the weight for your short term goal as starting/ending. Then in the signature, add in the label (Christmas weight challenge?) above where you paste the tracker code. Hope that was right.
Brandy - sounds like you are doing great! Good luck with that weigh in on Monday! I look forward to hearing your results!
Courtnie - no worries about running off, I am usre I've done that more than once myself!
I am walking to work again today, the roads are just TOO icey for me to drive... I admit I am chicken. Altho today the sun is shining so it'll be a really nice walk
Brandy - woohoo!! Congrats!! 2.5, thats impressive. My walk was good, very good, I didn't fall on the ice, and no bear sightings! What more can a girl ask for eh!
Courtnie - you are almost there too!
I am hoping for a nice weigh in this week, I'm realizing there are some things that I REALLY have to limit in my diet for me to lose weight. I'd prefer to live in denial, but I can't anymore so I'm just dealing with it. Trying to be more grown up, we'll see how long I can keep THAT up!
