Thurs. Well I lost another lb. and can't get over the fact I am really motivated this time. I think its this site and all the encouragement from others and knowing your not alone in the weight battle. Thanks everyone! Just did my journal on the other thread. I wasn't going to do the scale until Friday but then just decided oh well might as well do it. Now I am pleased I did. Sounds like everyone is doing well the exercise has been something I can't seem to get into lately unless its gardening and we have had lots of rain lately. Whats the deal on that thought we were going to have a nice Spring here in Central New York. Well gotta go make my salad for today's lunch lately thats something I have been doing daily but with variety. Todays will be romaine lettuce, walnuts and 1/2 granny smith apple w/casear dressing. Hey any gardeners out there? I am having quite a year with those bunnies any ideas on how to get them to leave the flower beds alone. They got the whole acre and they eat my flowers????????????
Have a super day everyone and keep up the good work!

Onto Day 3....

Squeeked by on Day 2, that icecream I picked up on the way home was calling my name, but the recliner and heating pad worked instead (God someday's I hate being a girl).

Welcome to the new folks, and congrats to Wildfire and Cerise on days 5 and 6.

Good Luck to us all!!! We can do it, I know we can!! (OK that sounded way to much like a cheerleader which I've never been )

Have a great day everyone.

Day One (again )

Well last night (that dreaded day 3) did not go well. Was doing OK until DH sat down next to me on the loveseat with a bag of chips, when I was tired, crampy and generally just in a bad mood, so I gave in. Chips being my greatest weakness.

Oh well, here I go again May 28 = day 1.

Back from the beach-had a great time, but it's great to be back home! I ate really well at the beach, lots of good choices, lots of fruits and vegetables, opted for the lower fat versions, etc. The only thing is I overate---too much of a good thing! And I didn't drink enough water so my weight is up a a couple of pounds. It'll probably be back to normal tomorrow morning, but I still have to declare this Day One---AGAIN!
Today I'll be counting calories and chugging water!

Everyone's doing so well!!!

hi and congrats to all the challengerettes!! everyone is doing great hanging in there!

on day 5 of mine. (mine probably doesn't sound too challenging-but for me, just the right speed. as i get more time under my belt, i may add something additional to the daily food intake journaling.) for right now though, doing this is feeling like a good, positive step.

Hi to all...I just stumbled upon this thread and MAN! is this just what I need at the moment! I did start a 21 day challenge here quite a while ago...as pointed out by sweet Arabella! I borrowed the concept from my days at ediets. It's a great tool to use to focus and get back on track...which is exactly what I need! Thanks for starting this up again, Amarantha!

Sooooooooo...that said, here are my daily goals:

<BTW, I LOVE Arabella's list, can I borrow that?>

Oh, all right I'll make up my own

Eat well
Exercise
Lots of water

Don't want to make this too hard on myself...(ie: keep it simple, stupid!)

There, now I feel better already!

Looking forward to the next 21 days! Good luck to us all!
