Well yesterday wasnt good. Ended up having a bit of a pig out. It was nothing compared to the binges I used to have; but im still cross with myself. Today im back on the wagon, i really want rid of these 19 lbs to get into onderland!! I HATE being 200+lbs!!! Anyway rant over for today, hope you all have a nice day ladies!!
Hope everyone had a good day yesterday. dcapulet and treighie, welcome It's never too late to join in girls.
Congratulations once again on the loss girls...water addict, tracy, mascara... Hope I didn't miss anyone. Mascara, yesssss, that's very good!
nosnah, hi there My friend from Texas has told me that they eat a lot of that there (mexican), she still loves it and eats it here in mass.
How did the apartment hunting go the other day? I hope you found a place that you like.
buttermom, I hope your feeling better sweety. I agree with sockmonkey, just go right to plan and drink plenty of water, I beleive those 2 lbs. will come right off. Your most likely having some fluid retention right now, hang in there and keep at it : )
Greeneyz, I skipped weigh in a few weeks ago as TOM came around that day and I felt so bloated. I did not want to get discouraged so I skipped the weigh in and just kept going with plan, etc. Anyhow, hope your feeling well.
Lytriciaaaaaa, how is the remodeling going? I think that's nice that you are doing the project together that way with dh
I hope you have a terrific day. Let's make it a good new day and keep on truckin ladies : ) It was so nice to come and read the posts and hear from everyone.
Things are going good here. THe veggie dish I had last night was delicious! I am drinking my ice coffee and thinking about my plan for today. Hope my energy kicks in as I am feeling a bit lazy right now. I went to bed on the late side. It's warm again today and I was thinking about going for a long walk on the beach but I am not sure yet. There may be some thunderstorms this afternoon. Hope you all have a beautiful day ladies
pigginpodgey, today is a new day. I would be sure to drink plenty of water to help flush your system out. Bravo for getting right back to it today and by doing so you will feel much better in no time. kick butt today girl
Thank you Fullsteamahead - i think this is how come ive managed to lose more weight this time than the times before. I owuldnt be able to stop pigging out. I still do it, and I think its something i will always struggle to control, BUT i think the difference this time is im not letting one day ruin all my hard work!! Before that is when I would throw in the towel!
I also saw a photo of my friends taking about a year ago yesterday, OMG i was so fat!! Im still not exactley skinny now, but i was SO rolly and flabby looking.. it did me good to realise how far I have come. Im still a "big girl" but i definitly look firmer and have some curves now!!
tracy lol!) I remember when I was in HS many moons ago, I would change how I spelled my name,,,tracey, traci, tracie....but your variation is one I never thought of lol!
hanging in there ladies! seeing some loss, but not claiming it till monday's weigh in, although if i can manage one more pound off, I'll be at my first official 10! I'm psyched. I know it's only 10, but still.....
starting working with weights this week. today did my legs, and oh wow, i'm already feeling it big time.....yowch! I did body for life once many moons ago, and I can remember being so sore after my first few workouts, I would have dh get out the rolling pin to really deeply massage my thighs and calves lol!
well, must run, will be doing my walk this pm while dd goes to gymnastics.
well, ttyl! have a great day!
hugs

Hey all, I'm late but ready to play this game! I have about 3 weeks of the month left so I'll say 6 pounds by the end of May please . I weigh on Mondays (& Tuesdays, & Wednesdays, umm, & Thursdays, you get the point. I'm currently suffering from scale-addiction, is there a forum on here for that?)
hey i have great news!! im a size 14!!! and its baggy!! i went shopping for some new school shirts and im a size 14!! eek! anyway thankyou for the advice on the stomach aches i had some cammomile tea before i went shopping and felt great! hope your all doing well love you all for your help and support so far. Im just giddy from the size 14 shirt!!
Jasons***I read your blog entry about being scared to be skinny. Me too. What does one do about that???????
Steamie - hey you're a Superstar eating watermelons and fish....this is terrific and I'm glad you're pullin' dh with you. It's always so great to have company.
I'm gonna scream inside. I mean it. I have been absolutely diligent and I have put on 1 pound?????? I feel tired. Like really tired. I'm so frustrated you have no idea.
You mean I'm not the only one with scale-addiction? I weigh myself every morning first thing... and then sometimes at night also. And I get so discouraged when it goes up. My husband threatens to throw it away all the time....
AND-- I always weigh a pound or 2 more at my WW meetings
congrats to everyone on the losses and all the great efforts across the board.
I had my weigh-in yesterday which was +.5 lbs since the beginning of the month. I felt that one coming on, as it's been a hectic 10 days and i let me eating healthy slip out the window... i have been doing plenty of exercise tho.
I have a rowing regatta here in Dallas may 18 and i am actually racing 5 times, so i have to bump up my workout so my heart doesn't EXPLODE
I also did some apartment hunting yesterday... they all start to look the same after a while anyway.. i didn't find anything i loved, but i found a few options that i don't mind living in. It's going to come down to which part of town i want to live it... so all i have to do is make a decision! then fill out an application, get electricity set up... blah blah blah
my yoga studio is encouraging us to do a "3 day detox fruit clense" where you eat fruit, as much as you want, for 3 days... i may try that mon-wed of next week. the whole idea with the clense is that since your eating like nothing but fiber for 3 days you just "clense", i'm sure you all know what i'm talking about... lol
I just got back from the beach and made an ice coffee and came to check in and saw all the posts, what a delight! What a day girls, 85 degrees and I am glad I took advantage of it. I kicked butt on the beach and got a great workout! I walked 25 min. and stopped for a few minutes to have some grapes and water and then continued walking for another hour. I kept a good even pace the whole time and walked in soft sand quite a ways! It was perfect as it was a nice change from my regular walk as the sand, etc. added diversity and I bet that was a good suprise to my bod. and revved up my metabolism. Boy, it was so beautiful........light winds and just beautiful. What a nice way to get exercise, lol : ).
pigginpodgey, right on : ) I was the same way in the past in the sense that if I had a bad day I would get so dicouraged or feel like I blew it and totally give up! ay ay ay! What an enormous difference it makes just getting right back to business and on track! way to go : )
Tracy? You had your dh get out the rolling pin and massage your thighs and calves? hahahahaha what a good dh!, hold onto him, lol : ) Hope you had a great walk and great day as well : )
Hi mamajones and welcome I used to be a fanatic with the scale and it was not in my favor in the sense that my weight fluctuates quite a bit on a daily basis depending on what I ate, etc. When I started, i had dh hide the scale on me until weigh day. Maybe hubby can hide it for you?
Hi jasonsLea : ) hope your having a nice day, as goes for all of you.
Mascaraaaaaaa, congratulations! I am glad that the tea helped and that your feeling better, keep up the great work. : )
Ray, was it your weigh day? or did you sneak a peak again? hon, I know it's easier said than done sometimes because that darn scale can be very frustrating but keep in mind (especially if short time within last weigh in) that it's natural for our bodies and the scale to go up and down that way, at least for me it's that way. I fluctuate a lot. I know your working hard, keep at it girl, that bugger scale will go down in time : ) Ray, whenever I am tired , I always feel a little blue and when I am rested I feel so good. I hope you catch up on your rest and though this may sound a bit contradictory to what I just said, a walk might help turn you around. It has worked for me this way on so many occassions. Hope you have a great night and keep on truckin
treighsei, Maybe he can hide it for you, it doesn't sound like he will mind but make sure he doesn't ditch it for good! lol
nosnah, a 1/2 lb. gain is pretty darn good in my opinion. I would call that a maintenance, which is super! If I let go of my healthy eating, I would gain like a rolling tumbleweed! lol I bet your being active helps tremendously. Nosnah, that is so neat that your doing the rowing regatta As for the fruit fast, sounds great to me girl. Monday sounds like a good day to start, post away, we'll be here for you. ok, I better go, I am hungryyyy. I am going to go make a salad. Have a terrific night everyone : ) ciao for now, Sia
Hi I'm ready for this new challenge. I had a terrible April. I start each day thinking I'm going to do all the right things, and then I see a sweet snack in the faculty lounge and I don't pass it up. I'm exercising again so I hope that will help me stay on track. I really want to lose 8 pounds by June 1st. Thanks for any suggestions for staying on track. Flow
I'm so tired today. Prolly cause I got in a second workout at the end of the day. But I just ate twp small pieces of fudge and an egg and I wasn't even hungry..just trowling the fridge for food....
It's never too late to join in girls.
Hope I didn't miss anyone. Mascara, yesssss, that's very good! 
and I don't pass it up.
