You're right, Runningfromfat, the scale will have to drop at some point (at least, that's what I keep telling myself)....
Carter, great job maintaining!
Good to see you back, AKA!

I got a "Bodybugg" yesterday, and will see if that helps...

Hi all,

The scale was nice to me this morning, down to 163.4. I need another .2 to be down a pound for my weekly Lose It weigh in tomorrow, so I'll be hitting the recumbent bike later. A pound a week would get me close to 160 by the end of the month, which would be great.

I'm feeling a little more in control of my eating than I was earlier in the week. I just bought a book I hope will help, 50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food. It looks good.

Happy weekend!

Carter Were you able to get your run in?

Ona Great job on the .4.

Kukkie Great job on the sleep and .5. Love to get a good nights rest! That's the best, beside a good cup of joe. Love those little things in life!

Jldsgirl Congrats on the 4.6 pounds!

AKA Great job of getting right back to your plan. That's the way to do it!

Salley Congrats on the .4.

Rennie Is that your good looking DD in the avatar? I know you are proud of her. I hope you get a letter from her soon.

CaliforniaDreamer Great job on that pound!

Steph Great job on that in control feeling! You can do this!

KimL1214 Congrats on the 2 pounds!

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT, EVERYONE! SLEEP WELL!

Good Morning, Everyone!

Calories for yesterday: 1610 +
Weigh In: 149.4 (TTOM)
Down: .2

Up 0.9lbs today to 198.7. It's my own fault, I didn't get nearly enough water yesterday, and what I did get was mostly before bed.

Morning everyone!

Busy day yesterday but I did get a 5k jog in and I did okay - not perfect - with my plan. Still struggling with evening nibbles. My partner has gotten a little lazy about hiding certain snacks from me and I think I'm going to ask if she minds REALLY hiding them away! I just do much better when these things aren't even within reach. I also made the mistake of buying a kind of bread I do not like to keep in the house. That one is all my own bad choice - can't blame it on my partner.

Anyway the bottom line is still under control - weigh in at 162 today, a drop down from yesterday of 1 and matching my current low.

I just have to solve this itty bitty problem. I don't like to admit that I am struggling but there it is. I've been thinking a lot about how to deal with it and trying different things.

Good luck and good strength everyone!

Good Morning Everybody

WI @ 160.0.held steady.Glad about it.

Rennie Lovely picture of your daughter!
Diana You're well on your way to your low... good job!
Kukkie Sorry about the .9...
Carter Congrats for the -1, and good for you... setting aside the ego enough to acknowledge your struggle! Full frontal reality... that's the ticket!
Ona Good job maintaining!

I got up hours ago, and couldn't sleep. It's too early for my weigh in... I've got a day off and am going back to bed.

So the damage from Friday was +1.4 lbs, but today was -1.6, so I'm pretty pleased with that! TOM really just arrived today though in full force so we'll see what happens from here. I had a DELICIOUS breakfast -- low carb tortilla (60cal), 2 wedges laughing cow (47cal), 1 tsp salsa (20cal), and 1/3 chicken breast (50cal) -- it was SOOOOO good and really satisfying.

runningfromfat -- I hope you get to see that 168 sometime soon.

unstoppable -- nice loss yesterday!

Diana -- Congrats on your .2 yesterday and again today

Ona -- Lots of exercise for you yesterday, way to go! Good job on holding steady today.

Amanda -- Good luck with your running restart, you'll do great.

Carter -- Would it help to kick the nibbles if you went more extreme for a day or two..ie do an all protein day or all veggie day or something like that?



Salley -- Ooh...I love gadgets! How do you like your new bodybugg so far?

Rennie -- Cam didn't really understand about the snow because the ski hill near us makes their own snow, and they have the ski and snowboard hills ready, but the tubing hill is their last priority, so we have to wait. He was consoled yesterday by a nerf gun that my Aunt bought for him, he was over the moon about it! I know Chuck E Cheese is expensive! We always wait for coupons too, and I just have 1! You know, for an off plan day you didn't do so bad yesterday. It's just a drop in the bucket -- back at it today so you can impress your soldier on her grad day! Good job on the treadmill

163.2 this morning, so I made my goal of losing a pound last week.

I bought some salad mixes today in an effort to eat a little healthier (I generally hate vegetables). One is mixed greens with bits of dried pears and gorgonzola cheese dressing - it's dee-lish.

I hope everyone has a great week.
