Hi everyone! Just wanted to check in while I have a free moment. This week is turning out to be quite the whirlwind. Hope you are all having a great week so far and continue to do so.

I myself am a little down. My eating has been on point...but I haven't been sleeping well at all so getting up at 4:30 am to workout before work has not been happening. I have been staying late at the office all this week too, go home eat dinner, get some errands done around the house and up to bed...to NOT sleep. I have a ton of energy while I am work, but then my day drains the life out of me.

I can usually still lose even when I can't get my workouts in, I know I lose more when I can, so I am not sure if it's the stress at work that's doing it or it's because I had such a huge loss last week (10+ lbs). Either way, I am just preparing myself so I am not disappointed when I don't meet this week's goal. I wish I could take off of work for weeks and focus on it everyday like the Biggest Loser ranch but this is reality right?

Anyone here doing WW PointsPlus? I am curious to hear what people are thinking of it.

Motivatedbride,
You have a full plate.This wont make you feel better but i was planning on really hitting the fitness center this week and the only day i have been was on monday My plans didnt work out either this week.
Try not to be so hard on yourself your doing alot. One day at a time.
Soon your energy will increase the more you follow your WW program and the more weight you lose.
Tomorrow is another day. Find something to motivate you
this challenge is motivating me, there are so many of us trying to reach the same goal. This is the year to do it !

motivate bride- The scale might surprise you in a good way! I was all set to be disappointed this week, but it turns out I still lost. (not as much as I could have, but still a loss!) Just remember that after a big loss (yay on the 10 pds!) you might have a small number no matter how much work you do.

I wish I had your energy all day long! I get up at 4am for work, 3am if I work out first. Typically work days are at least 12 hours plus an hour drive time to and from so I totally understand not having time to do anything but sleep when I'm home... and I usually feel drained most of the day.

I'm REALLY hoping that I can talk myself into working out everyday on work days, but I just don't know if I see it happening. Today it didn't.

I do WW points plus. Love it. It provides a steady loss, plus I can use the points however I wish and on whatever food I want. I've always been a good budgeter so I just look at it like my finances, I have this much to spend in the day and I decide how to use it. And there's a weekly "savings account" (aka the weekly points) that I can dig into if I go over one day. I'm not good at counting calories but the points system is easy for me.

Speaking of the biggest loser ranch, how do they leave work for so long? My bills wouldn't allow me to. My boss would have heart palpitations.. Plus some of them have been single parents.. I just don't get how they can put life on hold for so long.

Default Arias, Pasta and Super Bowl weekend

Hey! I was good for THREE DAYS! Then .. uh.. PMS and then that time of the month today and there goes my weight!

Hey it could be worse. I could have gained weight. I am still down two pounds from our initial checkin last weekend -- thanks to 24 hour fitness. Current weight - 192.

My advice to you guys: don't listen to too much Mirella Frinella and Luciano Pavarotti like I am because I keep seeing plates of pasta and bottles of chianti in my head then in my tummy, brought on by their aria in La Boheme. Not good for a diet.

Happy Saturday! Thank you God for inventing ibuprophen.

I am down 3.2 lbs. this week. My goal was 3lbs. so I am satisfied. I thought PMS was going to take me out this week!

Welcome AML08 I am the opposite of you! My food intake has been on point, I just need to be more consistent with exercising. I count calories using an app on my droid( Lose It!) It is really helpful and free! I have been doing 30 minutes on my elliptical and want to add some weights this week Good Luck!

GREAT JOB omgzitsmiranda You are really on fire!

I am ready for week # 2!

Congrats to all who reached their goal this week. Keep up the good work.

MzMoMo What does your diet consist of?
I love meat and it has so many calories. I can eat veggies and fruit but I wont be satisfied. I may need to be hypnotized lol. I wonder what the rates are hehe
