I was afraid of this. I only did a weigh in every two weeks since I stared to lose weight. There is a reason for this. Doc said weigh fluctuates to much, in her opinion, for people to weigh more than this. I have found I can lose the weight I am going to lose in that amount of time in the first week or in the second or through out. I am only going to, in general lose 2lbs every two weeks. Anyway, I lost my two lbs last week. I was excited, I was going to lose more. Did my weigh in today and nope no more weigh loss. I was depressed lol. I had to go to the doc today anyway and mentioned this. I heard about it. What was I told. Stop getting on the scale more than once every couple of weeks. On and on. She was on my side don't get me wrong. Then I heard it from the hubby. He didn't want a darn scale in the house to begin with. He was afraid I would get upset about the weigh fluctuation and see it by getting on the scale more than once every two weeks lol. I know I know, weight does fluctuate and it shouldn't matter. It still bothered me. It made me feel good to see a loss EVERY two weeks at my weigh in. This was depressing to me.

He has been supportive every step of the way. He is my biggest cheering squad. He said if I get upset about this just one more time he is going to toss the scale out the window.

Hey KSK - I'm here

Sorry, I spend 50% of my time on craigslist and the other 50% on the phone or at work. Still trying to find a 1 bedroom apartment to rent with bad credit

I have great rental history people!!!! Come oooooon!! But yea sorry I am here lol. Hitting the gym tonight actually. Must get back on track!

Good morning everyone,


How are you all? I dont have time to do personals but I did read every post. Congrats on the workouts and the weightlosses. I totally forgot that BL was on Tuesday cause my hubby and I were fighting and I went to bed at 8. Oh well. I did see the ending and saw who went home. The weather here is crazy. We got this major snow storm on Monday and then yesterday it was in the pluses with rain and now its in the minuses and so everything froze. I think I am starting a cold as well. Feeling a little crappy. I hope your all having a good day. Take care.

teKillya....your a rip girl I'm going to steal that from you!!

Sorry Red team I gotta do a flyby! I've got a quiz this morning and I need to memorize the auditing standards...I hate memorization!!

Finger feels better this morning! But, I'm hungry LOL! Just goes to show ya what happens when you eat all over the board like that.

I hope everyone has a fantastic day and I'll be back in this afternoon to check on ya!! Be strong and take control! You deserve the best!

Good morning RED team!

Emily – New running shoes are awesome! I really need to get a new pair, but I have a really hard time finding ones that are comfortable. I have terrible feet. They hurt me most of the time.

Cecilia – good job on getting back to exercising! Try to stay warm!

Melissa – I’m glad the fingernail is feeling better. I hate fingernail injuries! Good luck on the quiz.

Tina – I’m sorry you’re having a rough time of it. I’m glad you have a place like the wonderful RED team to come and vent. I totally understand your thoughts on identifying with addicts. I definitely have those moments when food is the only thing I think about. My binges are certainly linked to anxiety. I get anxious about something and my heart starts racing, I can’t breathe and on comes the binge. I get out of control. I can only imagine that all of the emotions around PMS can cause you to lose all control. I don’t have any advice. Just

Cat – Hang in there. Sorry about your frustrating gains. TOM stinks!

Rennie – It’s great that you can draw on us for support. I had never heard “If hunger isn’t the question, food isn’t the answer.” I like it. That may have to go on my refrigerator. Hang in there on your scale issues. Sometimes I won’t lose for a little while and then I drop several pounds. And as Melissa says all of the time, scales are for fish!

Laura – Yea willpower! Have fun at your conference!

Nicoya – I hope you will find someplace to rent very soon.

Cathy – I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Roni – I hope you feel better. Did it feel like you pulled something or slept on your body in a funny way? Sometimes I get a place in my chest that feels like something (in my mind I tell myself it’s my lung but I don’t think that’s actually what it is) gets pinched between my ribs. I hope it doesn’t happen again. That does sound scary!

I’m managing to stay on track with my eating. I’m not exercising as much as I did last week, but I’m still doing at least 30 minutes a day.

Take care everyone!

Just a quick fly-in. No time for personals (I did read everyone's posts though) since I am at a tech conference through Friday.
I love reading everyone's success stories!

Good morning. Well I'm feeling a little better today. Sorry to unload all that on you guys yesterday, but I was having a really rough day. TOM finally came today, and for once in my life I'm thrilled it's here! I'm not really thinking I'll have a loss tomorrow, so I may wait until Monday and see where I'm at. I hate when I get on the scale though during TOM and it shows a 3-5 lbs gained. Even though I know what it's from it is still a huge mind trip for me. I'll be back in a bit for personals.

I am still here as well and I read all the post when I have a chance to get online. It sounds like for the most part everyone is doing well this week.

I am still working on the working out part of my plan. My diet is fine so far....there really isnt a whole lot of high calorie treats or meals I eat anyways I just dont work out at all and I dont take my thyroid meds...
Perhaps if I was to add those to elements back in I would be losing more weight. I am happy though so far I have lost 35lbs since signing up on this website. The weight loss hasnt been as fast as I had hoped but I am just pleased to be losing at all and feeling better on the inside. Take care everyone.
I am going to enter my weight as of today on the weigh in thread just in case I dont get back online this weekend.

Hello kids! Doing a quickie for now, but wanted to share my picture from TBL meet-up this past weekend! Look in the album portion of Melissa's and my page for the match-up.

Hi Ladies! Just a little reminder for tomorrow!.....

National Wear Red Day—February 1, 2008— is a day when Americans nationwide will wear red to show their support for women's heart disease awareness. This observance promotes the Red Dress symbol and provides an opportunity for everyone to unite in this life-saving awareness movement by showing off a favorite red dress, shirt, or tie, or Red Dress Pin.

hello ladies! Well kids are home from school AGAIN today. I have a feeling they won't be going to school again tomorrow. Darn this snow! TOM is officially here, and I hate it! Just want to eat all sorts of crap and chocolate. Have a bad feeling about this week's WI. Hope everyone is doing better then me.

Hi all! Well, I had my first cheat in 30 days last night - a chicken sandwich and two donut holes. I was having an awful day and all the sudden I realized "I dont care if I go off plan." Scary stuff - especially since I weigh in on Saturday at the center. BUT, i still looked down on my own scale this morning so maybe not TOO much damage from my excess carb intake! We shall see....
