Baby - :hug: stay strong girl - one step at a time... just keep your eye on the goal!

I'm HERE!!! Thinkgs are going good - exercise is going great - food is OK. I'm still having a hard time kicking the soda habit. :( I don't think I'll hit 12's by the 21st - but I'm working towards it. I'm going to the doctor's on the 23rd to see what else I can do to help with the weight issue - counceling maybe? I know that my problem is more then just not being able tostop putting stuff in my mouth.

How is everyone else doing???

Here barely, but here
Eny I too am thinking of counseling. I feel it can't hurt at this point. Food intake is out of control. Well, not so much food but sweets, yep, I have gone haywire with those peanutbutter cookies. Baked some ate them then went out and bought some. Bad, bad,bad girl. I got to pull it together. Must refocus. Totally off. I do have a lot of emotional things going on in my life right now which maybe a factor.
Good News: The medication adjustment has been working well. I wonder if that is why my desire for sweets is so high. I am like a cookie moster.
Shari: Hi chickie

Shari baby - what's going on? You know we're here for you!

Things on this end are ok - not great - but ok.

I'm working from home today which is nice. I'm hoping to get my house cleaned!!!

Ok girls I'll check in later. :)

Just money troubles, Enylove.

But I haven't been doing much emotional eating.....mainly because I really have no food but it's still good. And NO SODA! :)

Money's the devil! Stay strong Shari baby - it'll all work out in the end - I PROMISE!

Shari - That loss is AWESOME! WTG! (I just hope you're being healthy about it....)

Ok girls - we officially have 10 days left of our challenge, and while I know that I'm not going to get into a solid size 12 - I have definately made progress. I'll be starting a Labor Day challenge after this one - because WE'RE WORTH THE WORK...it's a good thing I went into marketing :)

I *unofficially* weighed in this morning and I'm down #1.2 from last Monday. :yay: I also got my mom and my BFF to join into my challenge :woohoo: We decided on a $50 pre-paid gift card for the winner. So the most it's going to cost me is a TON of fat and $50. If I win though then the $200 will be nice to start shopping for a new wardrobe! :D

My goal for Christmas is to get to "Over-weight" which is #32.2 away. I definately need to get going! :santa: Christmas is 28 weeks away! which means I have to lose a little over #1 a week (not hard as long as I don't back slide!)

Alright girls - I'm off for now... I'll check in later.

just saying i am still here and that i made it to a full 12 the main goal for this challange. i found a pair of shorts that are a 12 that i have not worn since before my son was born 4 years ago and i kept them know that some day i would fit back into them and i am proud to say that day is here. now on to the secondary goal of this challange. will i be pushing the 10 i want to??

Oh my....10 days left till the first day of summer?? Oh my...i don't think i made my goal at all!! So sad. I wanted to lose to a size 2 (misses) and didn't even come close. I haven't lost a single inch. I barely lost 2 pounds so far. I have really gotta get back on track, don't i?? Thank goodness we will have a Labor Day challenge coming up, huh?? lol. Someone said it is only 28 weeks till christmas. I wanted to be down 20 pounds by then. That sounds so impossible when i can't lose more than 2 pounds a month. I have gotta start working my overtime on the weekends so i can hit the gym after work. I gotta get back to excersizing.

Come on Lumi - You've come SO far - DON'T FALTER NOW!!! We can do this - you lose #20, I'll lose #32.2 and we'll be AWESOME! WE CAN DO IT! We have to want it and to work for it!

Mrsaug - WTG on teh 12s! That's AWESOME! :cheer:

Ok I'm on plan today - did an ab workout this morning - feeling good.

I'll check with you all later--- AND STICK WITH THIS! I need you girls to stay motivated to keep me motivated - and I'll stay motivated to keep you motivated! :D

Enygirl....one good thing i can add today. I told my boss i will not be working over during the week anymore. She didn't like that i had worked late without checking with her first, although we agreed on my working on sautrday...but i didn't, so i stayed late instead. So...if i can't drag my butt to work on saturday, then i guess that damn filing will have to wait until....whenever.

But...that means....Gym...here i come!!! (next week that is). hehehe
