hey paula i fancy another challenge

Thanks tdiprincess=) My husband is doing really well too. I didn't think he had it in him to give up fast food, but he has. He's not a heavy guy at all. He just has a little belly now. I actually weighed more than him at one point.. which made me feel AWFUL! He's lost five pounds so far. I'm proud of him and so thankful that he's helping me although he doesn't care about my weight.

Thanks for the support!

well, yesterday was good. really really good. i felt confident in my plan for the first time in a while. i put up some motivational quotes in my room. i keep reading them over and over, which is helping. i didn't even eat a dessert yesterday. like any kind of treat. and i didn't overeat, or binge at all. and it wasn't even a struggle really to do so. there was no inner battle with myself which was so nice.

so today, i woke with just a bit more confidence. one day at a time.

okay now what challenge to do this time.... hmmm....

how about we all vow to not eat one particular thing over the holidays?

That sounds good.

Can I be the first? I vow not to eat any cheese. (that is a big one for me)

i vow not to eat any pizza OR cheese on toast.

i have had a 9pm snack of cheese on toast the last few days. its not good and i must stop!!!!

i vow not to eat anything unplanned. like an extra low cal snack or nuts. i have little healthy binges right b4 bed and its not cool. i stopped myself by drinking water but i need for it not to happen

That was a good one bjeweled. I have a habit of doing that too. I need to just go on to sleep. I'll feel better about it.

I'm in for recommitment! I recently lost 35 pounds through exercise and healthy eating. I went through a 4 year cycle where I went from 130 to 181 pounds. I was really miserable and just hated myself and my life. So I changed it. I moved to Beijing to teach English to Kindergartners and even though it was the hardest change I've ever had in my life, it was also the best change I could have imagined. I reached a point after about 2 months here where I knew I had to do something to change myself or my life would never change, no matter where I was. So I did something about it. I started exercising everyday and eating good foods. I've lost 35 pounds since June. I've hit kind of a lull and am dealing with some binge eating, but I'm not going to let it get me down and the scale up. So. I'm recommitting and getting back on track right now. I've done too much hard work to let it go. I've been eating 1600 calories a day and running about 50-60 minutes 5 days a week. I had a run in with mono, so that threw me off track, but I'm doing a lot better and I'm just ready to get serious again. So here I go. Oh, and my name is Julie. I'm 27. My current weight is 145. I started at 181, so I'm really happy. My goal is 135. I know I can do it. It just takes work and consistency. And I can do both. Here I go!

Paula I love your signature. "I'm basically a hot chick in a fat suit" I totally feel that way too!!! Can't wait to just be "the hot chick"!! I lost another 1.6 pounds this week even with TOM. Lets hope next week is just as good if not better

Hi, I'm IansGirl. If it's true how they say that third time's the charm then I will be one happy girl. This is my third actual attempt at losing weight (with a few silly fleeting 1 or 2 day pathetic attempts at it), the first one being WW 2 yrs ago, where I lost 17 pounds in about 6 weeks, and the second being a yr ago at WW but it proved to be and still is way too expensive to buy all that produce.

I know that sounds silly but with the way things have been economy wise lately, we are lucky to get $30 in groceries a week after the bills are paid. So I am relying mostly on smaller portions and exercise this time. Exercise tends to be the deal breaker for me so I am trying to gather a big group of supporters this time

Ok ladies I totally needed to revive this thread for the holidays! Where are all my recommiters? Bjeweled its me and you baby...head on We need to keep challenging each other.
I have hit my goal early lets just hope it keeps going down
