One Reason You Will 'Be Good' Today
 

Hi everyone!

I'm new to this part of the site. I have about 10lbs to lose, maybe a bit more depending on what I look like after 10lbs!

I have stolen this thread idea from the 100lbs forum. I think it's a good idea!

My reason is:

1. Despite having a mini binge (eating 2 muffins when I am meant to be cutting out sugar), my plan seems to be working. I've just sneaked a peek on the scales and I am 154 (2lbs down). Now I am going to stop my ridiculous eating of muffins, go for a run and choose salad when I go out for dinner later!

Welcome Claire! I love this "stolen" idea!

My reason is:
The scale is finally working it's way back down after it jumped up when I started working out this week. I want to be 100% on plan so I can continue that trend and stop sabotaging myself with extra snacks, just because I worked out.

because I ate poutine yesterday (some of my hubby's) and I felt sick aterwards. LOL

My reason is: The scale finally went down again, and although it's back up today it's also the first day of TOM so I want to kick butt and see a great whoosh by the end of the week!

Today my reason is I just bet my boyfriend I could give up all chocolate (except 25g of dark chocolate a day), sweets, fruit yogurts (the type with tonnes of sugar), cake, Diet Coke (ahhhh I consume the stuff like water) and alcohol when i'm at home alone (empty calories apparently). If i fail I have to buy him dinner every time. We're seeing if I can last until 21st July.

It'll be an expensive chocolate bar if I succumb!

I think I have someone to look and feel good for again. I know that I should be doing everything for myself and I am. But, knowing that I'm not the only one makes the biggest difference for me. It may not even that I'm doing this to look good for them, I'm just overall happy and when I'm happy with things I naturally take much better care of myself. I only wish that I got on track and stayed on it a loooong time ago.

My reason: Because I'm finally 5.4 lbs. away from goal, and it's taking me forever to get here.

Because I want to keep fitting into into these smaller clothes.

Because I am going out of town soon and I can use some wiggle room.

Because I really don't need all that junk anyway, and it's really not worth it.

Hello all,
my reason, because I finally decided to lower my goal to 110lbs, so I have a lot ot work to get there!!
Thx for the thread!!

My reason for today:

I managed yesterday without any of the things I banned and it wasn't that hard (beginner's luck?!) so why break a day old habit? :-)

Because I was horrible yesterday. Remember ladies: One s'more, acceptable. Four s'mores, terrible.

Because i have been moaning about these last 10 pounds for about 4 years and it is time to get the monkey off my back!
And because I will feel happier to have accomplished staying on track, much happier than a beer or an ice-cream will make me :-)
Also, because I CAN stay on track and I WILL!!!

Because I started off the week eating well yesterday and want to continue that trend :)

I'm being good today because I finally saw results today. I'm down to 137.2 from 140.2 yesterday. I don't want to go back up, and I know that I feel so good when I am good!

Wow samantha, thats a big dop from yesterday!

Tomorrow, (since the day is over now for me) I will be good because fried food upsets my tummy anyways.

Because the numers on my scale were finally starting to go down and then in the past few days I've been surrounded my family and friends which has meant I've had pretty much no control over what I've been eating and I'm fairly sure I've gained back all the weight I've lost so far this month. And because I'm determined to hit 130 by the end of the month. (Now I've got to go weigh myself to see the damage done and decide whether 130 is even possible!)

Wow... Kellost, I wish I was in your shoes/jeans right now! I'm 217lbs at the moment and want to get down to 126lbs. How did you do it and how long did it take you??

I will be good because I maintained, which is reinforcing that my goal is JUST out of my reach and I should keep going forward! Plus I have the beach on friday so I don't want to mess up!

I will be good today because I have an off-plan day scheduled for Saturday (grandparents 60th anniversary) and I want to see a loss for the week on Monday!

Great «steal» claire :lol: ...

My reason is because I don't want the scale to go up again... I keep yo-yoing the same 3 lbs every weekend...

Because in about 5 more pounds an awesome dress that I have should fit perfectly :)

because i want to look amazing in my wedding dress!

Because I was bad last night... Lotsa wine :cheers: and some not too many though potato chips... Plus we have a BBQ today too, it'll be hard to be good...two bad days in a row do not add up to weight loss :rolleyes:

beacuse I just started fitting back into my pre pregnancy pants!! OHH YEAHHHH!

Because I feel so good about myself when I keep my plan.

I will be GOOD today because tomorrow is official weigh in day and I'm hoping to OFFICIALLY hit goal! (I was 0.4 lbs away from it last week)

GO CHICKAPEA!

Tell us what happens!

I will be good today because ...

today is the first day of the rest of my life as a certified skinny girl!!!

Weighed in officially at 1.8 lbs under goal!!

Congratulations, Chickapea!
