  • I'm back down to 176.5 today! Hopefully I will get past my set point of 177-178 and continue going down now! TOM could be showing up any day though, but then again, at my age, maybe not, lol!

    Sum, keep plugging away! You have to move past that 155 sooner or later!

    Lyn, good for you! Way to not give in to temptation! And I hope everything goes smoothly with your computer!

    Samm, yay on the .8 drop! :

    JazzyPeggy, welcome back!

    Joy, hang in there! :

    Boatingmommy, congrats on the big drop!

    Kelijpa, you are still very close to goal! You can do it!

    183, I hope your water weight comes off more quickly this time too! I am so glad you had a good time last night! It sounds like it was great fun!

    NightAngel, we all slip up now and then. We've all been there and everyone gets it, so there's no reason to hide. It happens! The important thing is just to get back on plan!

    Minneey, do your best! Goal! Goal! Goal!
  • Hey all, sorry I didn't make it back yesterday, my brain was fried lol The exams went ok. Behavioral is posted already, I got an 82 which is lower than I would have liked but it leaves me with a 90.67 in the class so I'm happy enough with that so I will skip the final and keep that as my final grade. the grade for the other class probably wont be up for a week so I am trying not to obsessively check for it.

    Jacqui you skipped right over 177! woot, that must be why you had the extra day at 178. Keep up the awesome work!

    lyn I need to throw stuff out, my husband has agreed to start atkins when he gets back from his vacation on sunday. but he has agreed to diet with me before and it usually only lasts a couple days so I am torn about throwing it out.

    welcome peggy and samm

    boating that is quite a drop! congrats!

    nightangel I have that same habit too but I am trying to break it... for example I am here instead of hiding in shame over the mini-binge I just had on cookies my aunt sent me a box of christmas cookies and I thought one might be ok and one turned into alot... i'm not sure how many but most of what she sent

    Hoping to see 135 by Friday if I'm ever to be 132 by the 21st!

    NightAngel/Pixikat/Probably everyone - I feel annoyed with myself when I've had a binge. It's self-sabotage. I tend not to write or weigh when I've fallen off plan - it's really supportive here though and when I do come back I feel relieved, like its the first step to getting on top of it again!

    Keli - December is your month girl!! You're doing so well.
  • hello
    183stgbhanks for the motivation! crossfit makes you go up? is this a muscle related thing or a retention thing?

    kelijpa: Doing good, making progress there!! keep it up! I'm trying to behave...sometimes it works, sometimes not.... eh....

    boatingmommy: Wow, nice drop you got there... green tea huh? do you drink a lot of it usually? w sugar?

    gardenerjoy: Good job on the solid number

    jazzypeggy: welcome? Don't think I've talked to you yet...good job on the loss this month!! keep it up!

    samm14: Howdy, good goal there.... good luck, see you around!

    Lyn77: good luck with going out of town, it can be hard to stay on plan when not home but I'm sure you can do it!!!

    sum38: lil tiny setback huh? no sweat!...

    jacqui D: good job breaking the wall there you had...I'm sure it's a good sign for you

    pnkrckpixicat: totally get it about having more than expected....mindless eating and emotional eating...oy!

    turtle11: still doing good!!...

    minneey: excactly!! it's hard to come in and talk about it ...it's so easy for binges to undermine a whole month's of work!

    Good morning

    my crossfit weight left, so that's good. Going for a run in the afternoon

    boatingmommy nice drop!

    JazzyPeggy

    samm14 nice way to start this challenge! well done

    Lyn77 big part of my plan is also not to buy anything that is not on my plan. Works well! Whenever I feel like cookies or candy I'm like shame -- because I never want it enough to actually leave the house just to buy it.

    Jacqui_D woohoo 165.5!!!

    pnkrckpixikat good to read your exam went ok. Congrats on passing!

    Minneey way to make it through the parties, stay on plan and drop some weight! that's quite an accomplishment this time of year.

    NightAngel26 I have no idea what it is about crossfit that makes my scale go up the next day -- I just know that I'm super sore and got couple of bruises and my scale is up by at least one pound. Totally worth it though, because crossfit makes you strong
    well done on the 3lbs, by the way

    Rhiko

    happy Thursday!

  • NightAngel way to get right back to it! Thanks for the nice words!

    Jacqui awesome, kick that setpoints butt...

    183 good job, I've read that your muscles hold on to some water to repair, something like that, so that might be why your scale goes up.

    TOM arrived today, so we'll see how that affects things...I'll just keep on keeping on and hope if anything comes on it goes away in a couple days...

    Best to all
