An I spreading something around with the overeating, seems like Jen,JayZeeJay and Shannon plus myself all in some manner ate too much food. However you want to label it, it is too much. My personal belief is this is something that afflicts those of us prone to be overweight. It just seems to rear it's ugly head from time to time.

I noticed that, too. This same thing happened about month ago.

While I don't feel as if I've been overeating, I have obviously done something as my weight is going up rather than down. I'm certain that food choices are part of the problem. I start to feel guilty serving so many salads to DS (who likes salad but needs more than just that) so I compensate by making his favorite dishes. Last night it was chicken enchiladas. Not diet friendly.

I've never heard of that one, Jen. I've used other sites, and done challenges on other boards where I had to report in for points.

I wonder if something is wrong with my computer clock? Any time I try to post it tells me I have to wait 30 seconds even though I didn't just post anything.

My computer says I posted this at 3:51, but the time stamp says 3:26.

Has anyone here used stickk.com? Where you make a commitment, check in with a referee (a friend) and can make a "bet" where you lose money if you don't keep the commitment? I'm thinking of trying it. Not necessarily for a "lose weight" commitment but for something along the lines of days without overeating.

Jen~I had never heard of stickk.com, but it sure sounds interesting! I may have to try it myself!

Yeah, the forums are definitely messing up - all over the boards. It's been reported to the mods and they're supposed to be working on it.

Shannon - Did the points challenges help you? One aspect I like about Stickk is that you can set aside money (you don't have to) and it can go to a friend, a charity, or an "anti-charity." The anti-charities listed are all pro/con groups for abortion, gun control, gay rights, and I think one more issue I forgot. THAT would be pretty motivating for a lot of people.

Busy Thursday ahead! I'm going to a local coffee roaster for a tasting tonight. I love coffee, so I'm really excited about this. And hopefully there won't be food served.

Bad morning this morning. I slept well--second morning in a row where the alarm woke me up rather than me waking early and waiting for the time to get up. But my weight is up AND my rings are tight. Ok, TOM is just around the corner, but I don't usually bloat like this.

I've bookmarked a site that hopefully will help me get my diet back on track.

Jen - the points challenged helped for a while. I used Fitocracy, and had a good time on it. Then I got mad at some of the people on the forums and they way they treated other people and quit. Maybe I should go back and just not chat on the forums. Challenges work well too, but I haven't been able to follow through on a lot of them lately. I bet if I had money that was going to a charity I hated if I didn't exercise I would work out. LOL

I am on Fitocracy and love it. They have closed the forums and are focusing on groups and the a-holes don't seem to post there - so give it a shot again!

I'm under jenhudsonmosher if you want to follow me and I will follow back!!

Okay Jen, I popped back in and followed you. I haven't tracked anything since June of last year, and had only posted a little in the months before that. I might give it another shot.
