Good Morning!!!
I'm not weighing until Sunday because I want to feel good about me. I should be down to my pre Thanksgiving weight by then. I will be starting a new round of P90X on Sunday and I'm SO ready.

Make today an awesomely wonderful day and be good to yourself!!

Hi!! I am going to join at a straggler.

I was on WW, and stopped counting points (but continued to lose weight as the food process is ingrained in me, aside from the ocasional binges- thanks sweet tooth).

I recently switched to calorie counting, and I am having no issues with it- again aside from the occasional sweet tooth.

My personal challenge is: stop weighing every day. My weigh in day will be thursday morning (before work). I will weigh once a week, and continue to calorie count. ONCE A WEEK.

I will also try to reduce my candy binges - one little sweet/treat a day. that is it, that is all.

Well I weigh in today and I have gained 3lbs since last week weigh in and I dont like it. My bf said when I loose 30 pounds he buy me a new oufit I cant wait so now that mean I have to loose 33lbs I am hoping to loose 10lbs by NYE that mean I will only need to loose 23lbs more in order to get my new outfit. I get a new car when I loose 100 pounds so I cant wait instead of rewarding myself with food I am rewarding it with things I need. Those things are my motivation and also getting to be in onederland will be the most amazing reward ever

SW--- 279
NYE GW--- 270

11/29--- 282

Happy Tuesday.

Yesterday was my first 100% OP day since Thanksgiving. About 1500 cals and weights/yoga. I should be about the same cals today, but will do cardio instead.

I'm already nervous about Friday's WI. I was honestly hoping for a bit of a loss Thursday (Thanksgiving) morning as I *really* did good that week, but I had a slight gain. I think it was due water retention from zumba class the night before--I always weigh better after a rest or lighter exercise day. So whatever loss I might have had was "masked" by water retention...and now that Turkey Day will factor into this week's WI, I'll probably never see it. <sigh>.

I will honestly be happy if I'm just at my pre-Thanksgiving weight Friday, but I'm kind of scared that I've gained. Two gains in a row kind of gets to me. I considered not weighing this week, but I think I may allow myself to get sloppy if I don't...and I really need to stay focused until Christmas/New Years week.

Sorry for the out-loud rambling, ha!

Only one more day in November!!

2094 today, it will be a few more days before I can tell if I need to go lower. So far so good with my milk supply.

I'm doing horrible. One day 100% on plan the next totally off plan. My pre-thanksgiving weight of 154 is starting to feel like a dream.

Weighed in today. this week i'm down 2.6lbs total. I have 11lbs left to lose to hit my goal of 265 by january 2nd. so 4 weeks 4 days to lose 11lbs. I start exercising today or tomorrow. Probably tmr. My live in bf just left for his seasonal job so theres a bottle of something with my name on it today. so probably working out starting tomorrow.

About 1550ish cals yesterday, 2 mile WATP video. Today I have 1490 cals pre-logged and my 60 minute zumba class tonight. One more class next week, then we have a hiatus until January. Think I might start doing my wii zumba again to fill the gap.

GOOOOOD DAYYYYY!!!

So yesterday was and Monday were awesome days for me. I know I said I wasn't going to get on the scale until Sunday but I wanted to see how much damage I'd done and where I was in respect to how far I had to go to get back to preThanksgiving weight. I hopped on the scale this morning fully expecting to see a bad situation buuuuut I back and my preThanksgiving weight. I thought it would take longer but I'm there. Three legit days of work and YAY!!

Hopefully by Sunday I can be down another pound or two!!!

Stimkovs - WELCOME!!! Let's have some fun!!!
Popspry - NO MA"AM!!! You are not allowed to talk like that about yourself during this Challenge. So you had a bad day...chalk it up to the game and get back on the wagon.
Northern - Don't be worried, you will be happy with your weigh in because it will be better than the last weigh in!!

Okay ladies we can do this and we are going to enjoy this holiday season. Keep on Keeping ON!!!

I'm in the same thought as you! HA!! You will get there though, just keep working back on track and exercising. It will come off!

I broke my WI rule today... but I'm going to make sure I wait until Friday to WI officially. I did make it to the gym this morning and I can say that I just completed week 4 of c25k. Friday will be w5d1! I'm getting excited as I see my stamina increase!!
I have also started using the kettle balls at the gym. They're pretty sweet! I'm going to be researching more exercises with those babies!

Hope ya'll have a great day! I'm off to get some cleaning done!

ok, I went through my log, and I my avg weights seem to be going down. So I think I might have found a good target of 2000. I can lose weight and not lose my milk supply. If I do well on that, I am going to try 1800, and see how that goes. I want to be down to 189 by Christmas so badly!

Charlaine---way to go!!!!
Jigglefree---good for you!
Popspry it goes that way sometimes; but you're not lost--you are just a tiny bit misplaced and you'll get back to square. Forgive yourself yesterday and look forward to tomorrow--where you have yet another chance to improve, and you will.
TDIPrincess, great attitude. I like that you gave yourself permission to break your WI rule and put it off just a little.

Folks, we need to love ourselves more, for better or worse. We know how to lose weight, and we do so well at it--we also need to forgive ourselves when we temporarily go AWOL from the diet. Sometimes, we just need that break, and we can't continue beating ourselves up about it. The best thing to do is put it behind you and move forward with a positive "can do" attitude.

I feel realllllllllly great today. On plan and making it happen.

WE GOT THIS---never forget.

124chicksinger I really needed to hear that. Didn't know I did till I read it so thanks for posting it. I have been down about going off my diet thanks for the motivational words. No more beating my self up all matters is how I start tomorrow. I am forgiving myself for this week of the temptations of goodies and getting back on track.

I got back on track today - it was really quite easy. I'm going to weigh in when I wake up, hoping a better number than this bloated number I have now will keep my spirits up.

Back on track!
