[ChefsGirl]

Good planning Linda! Let us know how it goes.

[LeighAnn]

I'm still POP-ing along, and it shows on the scales. Woohoo!!

This challenge is awesome. Just what I needed right now.

Everybody's doing great! And those of you who are close to goal and/or have come so far keep me motivated. You're proof that it can be done. Thank you!!

Keep it going!! In less than a week we'll be halfway there!!

Well, i ended up having grilled tuna, mushroom risotto(ate half), italian greens, a salad, 1 stuffed mushroom, pineapple, half a slice of bread...and 2 glasses of wine...it was a free dinner from the pharmaceutical company...really good food

i did resist dessert and bring it home for my boys
it was a decadent rich fudge cake with sliced roasted almonds stuck all over the gooey frosting...mmmmmmmmmmm

Oh I needed to hear that!

Having 8 days behind us is what is keeping me on track. I've come too far to turn back now.

Welcome to DAY 9!!!

[ChefsGirl]

So……..if any of you read my “What’s the Point” thread you’ll know that I went off-plan last night. I am so bummed. I feel like I let you guys down.

I made a deal w/ Debbie to stay on-plan and not weigh myself again until Monday. I can stick to that.

One day at a time. If things are going better on Monday, then my new goal will be to stay on-plan 29/30 days this month.

Hope all you POP’ers are doing better than me! It’s been a rough one.

Hey Jill -
I did see your other thread, and you know what?... I doubt very many of us are going to have an exactly perfect month. What matters is that we're here supporting each other and trying our best, whatever that is at any given moment.

So, dust yourself off girl! Take it from somebody who's coming back after a 3-week binge - If you let yourself get too far gone, it's hard to get back. And even if you do manage to drag yourself back OP after a hiatus, you'll wonder how much lighter you could have been if only you had gotten back in the saddle sooner...

Nobody's perfect. It's all good. One day (sometimes one meal) at a time!!

- Leigh Ann

Yes, "one-meal" at a time. That is how I need to approach today. I've made it through breakfast & lunch. I have on-plan hamburgers and pasta from the LAWL cookbook planned for dinner so it should be easy to stay on track tonight. It's a great meal....tastes fattening, but isn't.

Thanks Leigh Ann

I'm going to spare you the frightening details....let's just say this past weekend was a trainwreck! I'm doing Hollywood Diet Juice today and tomorrow and back on plan Wednesday. I have a food hangover - seriously! I WILL do this thing!

[ChefsGirl]

Hey y’all! POPing here! Things are going much better than last week. I was totally hormonal! Haven’t seen the losses yet, but I feel good that they will be coming soon.

Went on a walk outside during lunch today. Didn’t get very far, but it’s a start.

We moved into a new building over the weekend and my new desk is very “visable”. I’m not going to be able to get away w/ being on here as often as I like so if I’m MIA, know that I’m still POP and I’ll check in ASAP!!

[amylou7777]

hi friends! I don't recognize a lot of the names on here but I've been on LAWL since June and have hit a road block since the holidays. I used to post on these boards multiple times a day-but since I've lost a lot of motivation I haven't been around as much. So anyway, I wanted to join in on your challenge seeing as tomorrow is the 15th I thought it would be the perfect time for me to get on a 15 day POP challenge!

So I'm ready to finish April POP! I graduate from law school on May 10 and really want to be looking as best as I can for all of those photos!

Congrats to all of you who have been doing so well! I'm hoping your dedication and motivation will rub off on me too!

So here I go-POP day 1!

[LadyZaidi]

Hi Amy!

I like that idea. I'm going to try and finish April POP too. I've been posting less and eating more....hmmm....time for me to flip that around!

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation. That's fantastic! You've proven that you have the DRIVE to accomplish whatever you set your mind to. Woo Hoo!

[lacorso]

It has been a rough weekend for me also..i work weekend nights in a hospital and when i get home in the morning i am so tired and hungry that nothing in the kitchen is safe...looking forward to a good week though...Good luck and Good Eating....

Its a New Day!!!

[LeighAnn]

Hi to everyone!

POP on in Amy! We'd love to have you.

One day ~one meal~ at a time. We can do this!!

I'm still POPing. No movement on my home scales since last Thursday, although I was down at COD today. Go figure! Maybe that means that tomorrow on my scales will be better.

I'm doing the 6-week Super Slimming Spring Challenge at my COD, so I've got to do TakeOff tomorrow & Thursday. I always dread that.

[ChefsGirl]

I'm w/ ya on finishing out April POP! It’s a perfect amount of time to lose a nice chunk of weight before May.

Here’s to 15 days POP!!
