jessicado22 - yes, i can bring lunch to work, but the thing is my boss likes that we all eat together, the same food... the problem is sometimes that doesn't happen, or it happens at 3 pm, but those times are not predictable... meaning sometimes i have indeed brought in my own lunch but then there is food at work and it's a very akward situation :/
Awwww....well get back on the wagon! And your work lunch sounds kinda crappy if you don't mind me saying. What about people who have allergies or something? If they want to provide the lunch, then they need to provide healthy (tasty) alternatives! Although, it is kinda cool that your work provides meals! Just not so great when you're dieting apparently
Weighed in at almost 230 today...so over halfway to goal on my end. Was kinda hard because I had to have a tooth extracted, and they gave me the go ahead to eat ice cream, shakes, pudding, etc. It was so tempting! But the closest I came was making a smoothie using a little low fat frozen yogurt, and I stayed OP. It's been a few days, so I can get back to exercise today finally too, so yay!
congrats on being half-way there!!! and staying OP while recovering...
yes, the lunch situation is crappy... and it's weird cause it should be amazing: salad and low fat cheese is what i eat, mainly... but then there's other factors like sometimes having to eat at 2 or 3 pm even, cause "no one is hungry" and we all eat together... so basically i go for the quick fix i can eat on my computer like bread and chocolates, also available there...
there are no people with allergies. we are 7 total, including my boss who is a vegeterian that never seems to be hungry.
anywhooo, i don't know if i am on the wagon again, but at least i am 151.4 lbs today, even though i have been eating tons and barelly moving. maybe all this time it was just weight from being on my period? i was pretty sure i was gonna be 156 or something (over my HW).
so today i feel like really getting back on track. i have 1 week for my goal, 10 lbs is probably unreachable but if i do my maximum these days, that's all that counts for me...
I think I'll be able to just barely do it! ...Or not be able to do by half a pound. And if that happens oh well i tried. -I missed the last challenge I was in by a pound. In fact I haven't completed one challenge yet!
florencia something I am realizing myself lately is-it feels great to reach a goal but each pound is a win! Keep going!
jessicado22 That's great! And good for you for resisting the temptations!

Congrats on the weight loss wolfgirl! And florencia -- any loss is awesome, even if you don't reach your goal! Any loss will get you there in the end
I'm down another 5 this week, so only a pound away from goal! So I'm adjusting my new goal to 224. I think I can manage...I've got a lot more weight to lose than you ladies, so it is coming off a little faster now. Might as well enjoy it while it lasts, lol.
Grrrr....and right after I post that, the scale has stayed in the same spot for the past 3 days. I've been working my butt off doing extra running every day and I keep telling myself while I am dying on the treadmill, it will be worth it when the scale drops tomorrow! Then when the scale stays the same the next day I am devastated. I know 3 days isn't much, lol. And that you can't lose weight everyday. And muscle weighs more than fat, yada, yada, yada. But still, I am disappointed and impatient!
Well, I think I'm the last one left in this challenge, lol. Just wanted to say I made it! Scale officially says 225.4 this morning, so I made goal. Hope wherever everyone else, that they are working towards theirs too!
Aww...bummer. Well, next time! (and although honestly if I weighed 152, I don't think I'd be able to stick to it full time either, lol. Not as much incentive to lose if that makes sense!) Right now I got plenty of pounds as incentive to push through, ha ha.
Darn it! Oh well lol I just got a boyfriend so I've been eating with him... yea haha. From now on I'm watching what I eat with him AND eating little things when I'm not with him on those days.
The Water Weight Is Gone Baby! 
I'll probable be checking in on Thursdays. Woosh fairys to everyone!
