  • Good for you Dani!!! Planning ahead helps me from splurging so that is why I plan my meals in advance
  • I know - that is good. But if I post it and then cheat I wouldn't change it. And I know I wouldn't change it, so I was just saying I had to do it after, so no one expected my menu right away. But I will do my best to post my daily menu of what I did eat. I REALLY need to start planning- I think that would make me eat better- we'll see how this goes for now.
  • Way to go Dani! You are doing great!
  • bump
  • Thanks Donna! You're a doll!
  • bump
  • I have a question...What is a bump????
  • Means to "bump" my thread to the top so I can find it easier when I log on again rather than searching back through all the threads. I edit my first page only so after a while my thread starts to get lost and even when I scroll down I'll have to go to differnt pages to find it. So when I see it getting far away from all the recent threads I will post something, if I have nothing to say I write "BUMP" others will do this for eachother on threads as well. Like Donna did it for me.
  • Dani you and Donna are doing awsome! Keep it up!
  • thanks!
  • Bump
  • BUMPED! Ooops did I do that? He HE JJ!
  • bump
  • I am getting frutrated because WI is only 1 day away and I might stay the same. Even if I was down 1 pound I would be happy. I know TOM is here and all, but can't a girl want to lose even with that? Well I hope I can, that would be totally amazing and to reach my goal for Oct 1 I have to be down 6 #'s. Sounds impossile. I don't know, we will see. I think I am really going to watch all my calories and water for this next week - watch it like a hawk! And Really do lots of cardio and hold off on my weight training. Just try to lose it and not gain muscle tissue for one week. I'll cross my fingers.
