  • donijo: oops! my bad!
    This morning, I'm back to 170.6 GREAT!! Can't wait to see my weight starting with 16..tomorrow! I *heart*
  • Quote: Haha I think it's "dear husband"? I had to look it up because until 3fc, I never heard of the dh acronym lol!

    What do you guys eat to satisfy a sweet tooth?
    Thanks!! I've been on 3fc for a few months now and I never figured it out! haha

    I like to have a sweet tea -- actually having one right now! Its called chocolate chili chai.. I think there are actually 1 or 2 mini chocolate chips in there and the drink tastes like dessert! Love it!

    I also am allowed 1 "freebie" per day on my diet (basically limited to 100 calories). Most of the time I use it up on ff sour cream, salsa or pasta sauce. But I will also add some honey or maple syrup to my food sometimes to sweeten things up. Or 70% dark chocolate. I am not obsessed with chocolate, so I can eat a little bit and be satisfied

    ... I am also noticing that my old favs (not Twinkies, but potato chips) don't have the same appeal as they used to. I just seem to remember them tasting better... now if I cheat on them, they don't taste as wonderful as I remember, and I'll usually feel sick after because I ate too much.

    Hope everyone is enjoying the day!! I've got 11cm of snow to shovel out of the driveway when I get home so I am not looking forward to that.... spring seems like it is months away...
  • 170.4 this morning. The rendez vous with the 160s failed. I guess it's because of my day y'day. Even though it wasn't a bad day, I wouldn't say it was a good day either.
  • 170.1 for me today. I'm relieved though. I wanted to eat rice y'day and I did! I really thought it would be higher. Getting there slowly and getting reading to sing "adios amigos".
  • Still here
    Apparently I am a fan of the 70's!! lol

    I am giving up Chips/Crackers for lent! I know I shouldn't have chips anyways, but I do find myself slipping up... so I am cutting myself off completely.

    Crackers have turned into my fallback since I have restricted my chips intake since this diet began, so I know I binge on crackers, and they are not the best thing to do...

    So that's my sacrifice for the next 40 days...
  • Hi everyone!! I'm at 178.2 this morning I really need to get out of the 170s. Mind if I join you all?
  • Not at all! Welcome to the 170's
  • AlyssaFit4life Hope you won't stay too long though lol.
    For me this decade is proving to be quite addictive. I'm back to 171 this morning ugh!
  • Still at 178.6 this morning, the scale won`t budge but taking my pics for my ''before'' I am sure I won't be here for long.

    Here's to hoping? haha hope everyone has an amazing day!
  • May I join? I have been bouncing around the mid to upper 170s since February. I need to light a fire under it, but between long work days and my husband's physical therapy appointments, I am having so much trouble finding time to exercise.

    I did manage to do squats and lunges during commercials last night when watching Amazing Race, but didn't get to run.
  • Welcome
    Welcome BettyBooty! that's a cute screen name!

    Congrats on getting some fitness in when you can You'll be outta here before you know it!

    ... so I had a big drop last night for my weigh-in... not sure where it came from, but I'll take it! I hope to ride the wave for the rest of the week, and be outta the 70's by the end of March!

    Also, I am two weeks away from being on my weight-loss journey for one year. I must admit the first half of year-one I was much more successful. I love being outside, and I am hoping that the winter/bad weather is my crutch. I go into hibernation mode during the cold months and it is hard for me to get motivated. If I can start of year 2 in the 160's I will be so happy!! So 5 more lbs!!
  • This gurl is back to 170.4 this morning. Grateful. Hope to get rid of this 170s arghhhh!
  • Was at 176.8 today! This is so much motivation to just stay on plan. I can't even stomach the thought of eating anything bad right now, I'm so scared to gain back the little progress I made haha
  • CONGRATS!!
    6 lbs!! I can kill for that right now AlyssaFit4life!!
    Just 2 miserable pounds would send me to the 160's and yet they are stubbornly refusing to fall off.
  • thirti4thirty You can do it!! Before you know it you'll have a crazy whoosh and you'll wake up at 168 I believe in you! haha
