Thank you Wow, 21! That's impressive. I just got mine back from the cattery today and she's been meowing all day just to make sure I'm still around. Her voice is croaking now, too

I'm catching up on 3 days of weigh ins here not my shining moments, but nevertheless, they are what they are, so here goes:

Jan 1: 151.9
Jan 2: 152.4
Jan 3: 153.4

Nothing in the last 3 days has been on plan from New Years eve to New Years Day Celebrations and being home sick yesterday, but it can only get better from here!!

Big Fat Rooster, 183stgb: sorry, didn't mean to mislead you, I'm not pregnant really , I remember what post might lead you to think that....poorly worded I suppose...no, I'm previously pregnant and I didn't diet at all during as I lost one at 5 months just trying not to overeat so I wasn't taking any chances...as strange as that sounds...nope I ate most everything. I didn't do too bad though, lost almost all of the weight by the time I left the hospital. It was c-section though so it took me longer to be allowed to really move around and I'm still not exercising much yet.

but hey, gives me a chance to show off my lil lovebug. he's almost 3 months now hopefully the attachment went through. I'd get after me too if I tried to diet pregnant!

Thank you Whoosh Fairy for making it a good week!

Sum, yay! The 140's!

Ajlee, being on your feet will definitely help! I just saw a Dr. Oz episode the other day that said just about the best thing we can do exercise-wise is simply get up from our sitting position every 15 minutes throughout the day and move a little and you'll be on your feet for most the day! I'd say that counts for something!

Hi Kaitie9399! Good to have you!

Rhiko, a brand new month and a brand new year! There's no stopping you from reaching that 63 kg this time!

183, does the town or city where your university is located have a library where you could study until your library opens up? If so, that might be a little more peaceful for you. And little Baby Whoosh did come to visit me last night, lol!

Hi lemc87 (Leanna), I'm so glad you to decided to join us!

Kelijpa, oh I like that! Your high for the year, lol! What a great way to think of it, and won't it be great if that is your high for the whole year!

Boating, that just made me laugh out loud! Those sad little peanut butter balls were being so neglected, lol! I'm sure gobbling them up isn't going to hurt anything, but I'm glad hubby threw out any other poor little treats!

Woodstock, I hope you feel better!

hmmm...

183StGB: sorry your library is closed. Where I worked last, we kept the library open for Winter Break. Can you try a public library? How about a coffee shop?

SW: 75.2kgs
CW: 74.75 kgs (-0.2 kgs)
GW: 74.7 kgs

nightangel awwww he's adorable!!!

jacqui you are starting strong! keep it up girl!

darius I read somewhere that knee pushups don't work your muscles the same so it is difficult to switch from those to "real" pushups. I think it explained that it works the arms but doesn't engage the core so you build the proper arm strength but not the core strength. It recommended the inclined ones instead. Like against a bench or counter or table etc. because it engages all the same muscles in the same way except your balance of weight would be altered, so more on your feet and less on your arms. The lower you get to the ground the more balanced it becomes. I feel you on the feeling embarressed, I used to do gymnastics as a kid and I was working on handstand pushups around the time I was pulled out, basically pushing up and down from handstand to headstand.

woodstock it can be your yearly high, just like kelijpa

SW - 244.6

Jan 1: 145.6
Jan 2: 148.4 !
Jan 3: 148.0

jaqui d: yeah I sorta like keeping a vague number but even on low carb I can eat everything...meat will still do it....veggies not usually but meat I might overdo. Yes, I must track things in order to stay focused, without focus I'll fall off and stay off....as happens at some point.

ajlee33: nice job on the workouts...yeah being on your feet and moving for work seems to help a lot....probably for not always looking at food or bored eating if you do that, I know I do.

kaitie9399 welcome, good goals!

rhiko howdy, welcome!

allyp: hey yw, I love this place, it helps to keep accountable and to talk to others about what's going on. I tend to disappear when I misbehave, I see others do it too so don't feel bad if you do too....the best thing about this might just be that others understand the struggle it is to get somewhere with weight, fitness, whatever it is that people here work towards, though this thread personally more weight related. LOVE the tickers here though....I was so jazzed when I earned mine!!

183stgb: maintain?? lol I don't think I'll be on this forever...I do like carbs but I need to learn to eat less...shrink my stomache I guess if that's possible...and to regulate what portions I eat.....no not maintaining this diet...just a temporary way to get closer to my goal. It may backfire, can't be any worse than the last 20 diets... and soon hopefully I can add some exercise, or be working regularly again....work preferably, I like to pay bills...well....something like that

lemc87: hey welcome!! what's no no foods?

kelijpa: hey, nice to see ya.... good goals.... good luck!

boatingmommy: oh no, pb balls!! My mother used to make those...wow those are rich...but hey, shouldn't do any permanent damage.... "just keep swimming, swimming, swimming..." lol

sum38: awesome loss, wtg!!

woodstock: hey it'll be ok, looks like you're back and ready to motivate.... good luck and see you around the board!!

I won't have much time to post today and there won't be much to post anyway.

It's a DownDay so I am eating two eggs and some broth, maybe a GG's Scandinavian crispbread to keep the supplements down. I don't weigh in on DD's.

No time for a workout since I am going to be running around all day doing errands and I literally won't be home until after midnight. Busy, busy day ahead!

Well, still doing ok...thought I might have messed up yesterday with dinner because it seemed filling and most of the time I want to go find more to eat with meals and it seemed like I ate a lot but so far so good. Last night was a few steak strips, baby carrots, mushrooms and onions in a lil terriaki sauce. mornings have been fruit, yogurt (yes I know lil carbish), and/or coffee. Lunches so far have been salads heavy on lettuce w some kind of meat in them.

Good morning ladies. Got a bit of exercise in this am, getting the kinks out. I had to really work at not snacking last night, but I did succeed

Joy, thank you for the list, it's nice to be inspired by a whole group of motivated women. I did notice I was listed twice, wondering if the universe is trying to tell me to lose 8 pounds this month. I did gain in all in a few weeks, but it doesn't seem to come off as easy

nightangel - yes no pm snacking works for two reasons. One, I don't consume another meal before bedtime. Two, it makes me less obsessed with eating something throughout the day. I am not counting calories but decided to write down all that I eat on paper, and comment on how well I loved my body at the end of the day. This reality check seems to work well for me also. p.s.- what a cutie pie baby!

pixikat - thank you for the encouragement, I am working at strong healthy habits. I have to keep remembering how good it feels to be thinner and not always thinking about snacking/eating. One day at a time.

Make it a good Day!

NightAngel, what a precious, adorable, beautiful baby boy!!! And congrats on your 2-lb drop!

Pixikat, look at you go! That water weight is just falling back off!

Joy, Kaitie9399 has joined us with a goal of 4 lbs and Rhiko wants to get to 63kg. There are so many joining us this month, which is just wonderful, but it has to be challenging making the list! Thank you for going to all that trouble for us!

Turtle, glad to see that bump up is coming back down!

Shr1nk1ngme, your up days and down days are interesting, and it's working well for you!

Workinglikeadog, great job denying the temptation to snack last night!
