Lori, you are so sweet. :hug: Thank you...that made it all worth while to not have the scale move!

Well you "kids" have a great time...sounds wonderful. Your BF will love the pedicure too!!! Why not?;)

I agree with Lori about the LBD's. Mine's a size 12 so maybe it will fit you first? :)

Hang in there FL!! Plateaus suck rotten eggs, I absolutely agree but you will be rewarded at the end of it with a good loss and a new understanding about yourself and this plan. Stick to it, don't waver, and it will give up and give in eventually... hopefully soon for you! In the meantime, dream about that LBD! I took pics of mine, will post as soon as I can remember how to get pics from my phone to the computer :0)...

what is LBD?

oooohhhhh, thanks! :D

I just had a bad moment. My son was eating Grasshopper cookies and before I knew it I had eaten a several. I haven't had a chocolate fix in a while and it got the best of me. Ahhh...on to another day cuz I blew this one outta the water. :stress:

I just had 5 choc. chip cookies. I have had very few moments like this. I think it is becaue I started taking chantax last week to quit smoking and have been tryng oh so hard. I do wonder if I should wait until the diet is over though. I am going to give it one more week. I had been over obsessing over food but I am now obsessing over food and smoking. I am trying to hang in there. I notice I spend much more time on the forums since I tend to grab the laptop when I want to eat/smoke, that or clean but I have pretty much cleaned all there is to clean. But it will all get dirty again and I can start over.

I had heard you shouldn't try to put so much on your plate at one time...dieting and stop smoking are two very difficult things to do, and I think you may be beating yourself to death trying to do both...but if you can, more power to you....but you might want to re-think it and succeed at one thing at a time. JMHO. :hug: Good Luck in doing both though, I do admire you.

Fifties lady,
I know you are right. I just thought that since I was doing so well with MRC that I might as well just get it all over with and hopefully by the first of the year be living a habit free life. But I think it is to much. I am going to try both until Sunday and re-visit the situation then.

Well, if you can do both, you have the greatest will power ever!!! Just think, you would be doubly healthy....:carrot::carrot:

BTW...love your new picture....and your new friends...how cute. Thanks for sharing.:hug:

But I am on plan...
 

Good Afternoon ladies,
Just giving an update here... went to WI today, down .5 from last week, not what I was hoping for, yesterday's scale was 191.5, this am 193 and at MRC it was 193 at 12:00 today so I have no idea what is going on. Consultant thinks it's fluid retention or a plateau... ugghhhh.... hate those things but I know, I know... just gotta plug on and it too will pass... I've had many NSV's over the last few weeks and have nothing to complain about so I will do just that and plug on!! I'm currently alternating between the green menu and the metabalance menu. On the days I run - usually 3.5 miles, I follow metabalance (has more carbs), on my non-running days I follow the green menu. This has really helped me with that "starving all the time" feeling I was having before. Today is a running day and the weather couldn't be more perfect :0) It is bright, sunny, gorgeous blue virtually cloudless sky and in the 70's with a little breeze... I would like to abandon the office so I can go home and get on my running gear and scramble out the door for my run but alas, people will soon be arriving and expect to be seen so I guess I'm just going to have to wait... can't play hooky today, LOL! I will be running before dinner tonight though that's for sure :0) Hope everyone is having a great day and staying OP!!

Karen1234,
Congratson the .5 pounds. I just hate the scales sometimes. Mine at home seem to fluctuate so darn much. I hate even more the days when I just know I have lost and the scale says "no you didn't". Such a struggle. Hope you have/had a great run. We are having nice fall weather here in the midwest great for walking and running.
