Good morning all you purrrdy ladies. Rainy day here. Boo!

Woo! Looks like some of the weekend gain was water retention because I suck and ate high sodium foods and hardly drank enough water!

platform - Yay!

hey ladies.

ooohhh its getting cold here in england and getting dark early too!!!
iv just got home from my shift. stuck to my weightwatcher plan today. first weight in this evening. aarrrggghhh wish i could say i stuck at it allthrough the week!

clare - I loved weight watchers, for the support of the fabulous ladies that work there. However, I didn't really follow it, always ended up doing my own thing (I just couldn't be bothered counting points or calories, never have) So I ended up quitting WW, no point in spending $17 every week if I wasn't going to follow the plan. Good luck!

Hellooo!!!

So I'm up almost 3 lbs. Considering what I ate while in Seattle, I guess its to be expected? As I was driving home from school last night I was like OKAY ITS TIME FOR YOU TO GET SERIOUS AGAIN. Seriously, I lost almost 30 lbs, I have the same amount go to, I can NOT get lazy. I get paid tomorrow so its food shopping for me.

Weekends SUCK. People are always over, and they're like oh, look, you have "special food." I cannot WAIT until I move out and I can have all my healthy meals carefully separated out, etc. Yay.

I didn't work out this morning - I was still feeling a little under the weather so I took the opportunity to get 8 hours of sleep and get myself healthy. I start Week 2 of C2K tomorrow, and I want to be better before then. I'm still going with the green tea.

Clare - I really like weight watchers, and it works, but I've found that once you get to a certain point you HAVE TO exercise. It just doesn't work if you stick to your daily points and don't exercise, because your body adjusts very quickly to what you're consuming.

Taylor - I WANT CHINESE TOO!! I'm going to get sushi at school tonight, hopefully that will satiate my Asian food craving.

Welcome Lynn!!

Platform - Oh, I miss Wildwood. We used to go every summer. Yay for water retention

Happy Tuesday!!!

lol i woke up today to a tsunami warning so im off to the gym and hopefully it'll still be there and not under water

Hi All...
I haven't posted in awhile but I'm back on board with counting calories etc... Hoping for some good meal ideas and all that...
Hope everyones weeks started out good!

TnH

Icon Maybe you will burn a few calories by swimming home?
...but let's hope not...


stella It is time for me to start getting serious again, too. I have been OP for 3 days now...and while I am feeling better a bit of the cravings have stayed. Needless to say I have been a tad... B!tchy. Sushi? OMG my favorite...but I can't seem to keep away from those darn fried roll thingies. I also don't like it when I have guest over and they are like "You don't have REAL butter?....All you have is fruit and whole wheat bread..." blah blah blah....

clare My boyfriend is from England..Manchester...and when ever we talk to his mom via skype she is always like, "It's raining...again...and dark...again..." haha. It's 87 in Colorado today...not to make you jealous...

Lynn I am a snackaholic, too. But snacking is actually good for you if you eat the right thing. As for late at night - I am bad too. I get this sugar/salt thing going around 10...so what I do is save 150 calories for my night time. I eat a sugar free chocolate popsicle and then a 100 calorie bag of kettle corn for a total of 140 calories. Now, I don't do this most nights but if I gotta have something - I do it. Most nights I have either the popcorn or popsicle but I allow myself to have those things so I don't feel deprived. Anyway - I hope that helps. And there is a lot of popcorn in those little bags - enjoy!

chele No, you are 29.5 and always will be.

Off to school with me!

Haha....I'm 29 and 3 months LOL

hey all.. i got home from my weigh in ......6lb lighter
im so happy .

Taylor86 ..... not at all envious of your weather :P

Haha, that's funny cause I am envious of yours. I love England's weather.

clare - 6 lbs?! That is FABULOUS!!!

Hi girls...... so... as of tomorrow morning, I am officially a NON-SMOKER!

Congrats luvja!!!

Hey, those of you in the September Exercise Challenge thread - can there be an october exercise challenge, too? That thread REALLY helped me this month!

Taylor - Thank you!!! I will def look for that kettle corn. I rather have salty than sugar at night. Sugar keeps me AWAKE.

Ladies!
What do you guys do about emotional eating?? I am not sure if this is birth control pill related or what but I have this enormous amount of anxiety lately that has caused this quick weight gain. It is unbearable. I just want to eat everything. When I'm depressed, I don't eat. When I'm anxious, I want to eat anything in sight. I don't even care what it is...I just go looking for food. It's such a terrible feeling. What do you guys suggest I do???
