JKS, your new look is so stylish and super flattering!! :)

Melissa, hang in there-- any loss= good work!! :hug:

Hey girls, I am having a very hard time with food still. I do soo well durning the day and after dinner when I'm not even hungry I go to food and not good food either. *sigh* I know I can do this I just need to get it in my head.

my scale is acting up too...no idea why. Maybe it needs a new battery?

skinnybeach - ha your name cracks me up everytime! the loss is coming!

Paula - congrats on passing the finals!!!

chickitababe - rest up and get to feeling better!!

Melissa - 1.2 is awesome! Some weeks you're going to lose more then others. The important thing is that it's not going the other way!

jessacaca - Have you tried the C25k program? I don't think I could run more then a hot second before I started it but I just did two miles on Saturday! It really does help get nonrunners running if you're interested.

Miriam - the fluctuations are so annoying!

Losers - Rock on!

I had to get to work at the crack of dawn today and didn't weigh in. Peaked this afternoon and it was down but not jinxing myself until tomorrow AM ;-)

Fat chick b gone - hey what is that running program you are talking about and where can I find out more about it...I want to run eventually I'm afraid to right now cause I'm so heavy I'm afraid of knee injuries...I don't want any excuses to not be able to exercise....but I would like to know more about this

Thanks everyone for pepping me up! I'm over my pitty party! You guys are right.....1.2 lbs lost is better than 1.2 lbs gained any day!!! And besides I didn't gain it all in a year so I may not lose it all in a year like I have planned...I'm gonna have to learn TO ADJUST my plans accordingly!

Melissa, you can find the C25K program here: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

I finished it a while ago, but haven't been running nearly as much since, and need to get back into it, so I may start up again somewhere in the middle.

Thanks, kittycat!

Gosh i hope so!! Thanks!!;)

I'm back to 118.4.

Okay - I'm happy that water weight or whatever weight has gone away... Better not come back :) Thanks for all the encouragement!

Melissa - Jessica linked the program I'm using. My next run will be week 6 day 2. I found running outside at my current weight tends to bother my knees but on the treadmill I'm fine. So for now I'm running on the treadmill and after about each 10lbs give it a go outside to see how it's going. I had to repeat the first 2 weeks before I could move on and that's certainly an option. The important thing is that it keeps you moving!

I'm slow moving this time but didn't anally watch my calories over the weekend so I'm not surprised.

So I finally gave in and paid for a gym membership at my local Y, because I just don't work out enough if I'm not going to the gym. Plus, it's been lovely weather recently, and the gym is only a 10 minute walk each way. Went for the first time last night, and I'm already SO glad I bought the membership.

Yayyyy...I worked my butt off yesterday after being so frustrated...and it paid off! :D I'm down to 246....I even seen 245 for a minute!! :goodscale

We went out for Thai food last night and I ate more than I should have, so I'm glad to see the loss.

Jessica-I had a Y membership last year and I loved it! I had to give it up though, because even though there are 4 Y's in town, we live 15 miles from the nearest one. I'm not an especially social person but I do like taking group classes and just being around other people when I work out. I also like that there's such a wide age group going to the Y. It's not all 20 somethings making it a pickup joint instead of a gym!

Have a great day, everyone!!
