WI went well down 3.5 lbs!! I have just a 1.5lb to go to sign the ten pound board!! WOOOOHOOOO I am so stoked!! I never believed I would find something that actually worked. Thank you all for being such inspirations!! I don't think I would have joined if I hadn't stumbled across you all on here.
Karen, Congratulations on your run!! That is awesome!!
Congratulations!!!! You are sooo close to that 10lb board; stay focused because that board is gonna be yours THIS WEEK!
I must confess, I had a totally off program meal on Friday night. I just could not resist. I went to one of my favorite mexican restaurants with my hubby and I had originally planned on getting a salad with grilled chicken. However, I opted for fajitas, which isn't all that bad, but the rice and beans kept calling my name. I savored every bite of it too! I'm telling you this because I need to write it down somewhere other than my food sheet so I can make sure to not do it again.
On a more positive note, I was OP the rest of the weekend and I drank more water than normal. I also am running a 5k on Sunday, so I pushed myself a bit harder than normal to sweat all the salt out! : )
I have my consult tonight. Really nervous about not being able to stick with a diet...excited but nervous. I have tried so many before and failed. We will see how it goes.
LaRee,
I too was nervous when I started, and stressed. What will I be able to eat? How does this all work, etc. You will understand much better after your consultation but still have many questions and that is one of the things that we are all here for. Just hang in there and don't get discouraged. Best of luck to you.

LaRee --
I felt the exact same way you do! I thought I was nuts for signing up (and doling out money) for a program I was convinced I wouldn't stick with. I had always presumed that, on the Willpower Board, I was at a big ol' zeeero. Don't know why I thought this. I quit smoking -- cold turkey -- on March 31, 2001 and had absolutely no problems. But I thought this would be different because I couldn't escape food 100% like I could cigarettes.
But lo and behold, I set my mind to it and although the first couple days were a bit tough (only between the hours of 4-6pm), I've done really well.
Just like anything else in life, if you put your mind to it, you'll succeed.
WI today, down 1pd. Was hoping for more but I will take it and be thankful. My 17 weeks will be up on the 24th and I plan to enroll for another 10. These past few weeks have been discouraging but when I think I have lost almost 70pds. in the past 17 weeks it starts motivating me again.
rip ,
Thank you! I really do!! I know it's small compared to some, but I'm so excited!! You all made me feel like I could do this and stick to it, and I can't wait for the rest to come off!! You all just don't realize the impact you have on us newbies! So thank you!
Kathy,
I hope they took your pic. to put on the board. It is a big ego boost to get your
face on the wall! And even a bigger boost when you start comparing them.
Kathy, great job!! And you're right -- the girls here have been such an inspiration and are one of the reasons I'm able to stick with this!
Rip, do you know what the cost is to sign up for another 10 weeks? If I keep going the way I have for the past couple weeks, I should be able to make THEIR goal, but I want to lose more before I start stabilization. Thanks!
