wow everyone did soo good ! I didnt loose or gain but it was that lovely time of the month AND I did go ahead and quit smoking..
So between those 2 things I really didnt expect to see much of a loss..

But hopefully maybe by this Saturday I will have atleast one lb gone or something! :)

I'm new to this site and want to take part in this 30 by September challenge. I've reached the point that I don't recognize me anymore. I have a pretty great life except for this big weight issue, which at the moment has me so down in the dumps. The only other time I was this heavy I was about to give birth to my daughter. I'm always looking for the diet or book that is gonna inspire me and I think it is time to realize that it's been here within me all along, but I have such a hard time staying positive. I think being part of this challenge will be the kick in pants I need. Thanks

Hey Kim! Welcome :) and for good measure :kickbutt: hehe

Hey all...I'd love to join too. Hopefully I'll be 170 by Sep. 30th

Nirvanagurl, any advice for quitting smoking during that time of the month? I've tried to quit a few times and every time as soon as the period hits I go back. I get so moody and irritable that smoking is pretty much the only thing keeping me from snapping on everyone during that time.

Welcome to all the newcomers, here's to a fantastic week for everyone.

I forgot to weigh in on Saturday, but I'm down to 173...

welcome everyone!

And ice princess..I quit right after it was already umm *going on * this month..near the end of the whole shabang there..so we will see how it goes next month during pms..I am NOT looking forward to it..not one friggin bit..
I dont even have pms right now and I am in ****..lol

Last summer I had quit for 3 months and made it thru pms and all but as I remember it was not easy by any means and I was always the weakest then too

the one thing that seems to really be helping me this time, and I dont know if its everywhere yet, but they sell this stuff called NIC water at the gas station by my house, and its water with nicotine in it..
yes I know..its bizzare..and it has a bit of a funky taste, but its actually got a smokey taste and the nic enters your blood stream fast and that really for me seems to be really really helping this time around..
bigtime..

ok gotta post my exciting news now..I just weighed in..
