Didn't keep track of calories yesterday but it was a pretty normal day. I would estimate in the 1400 range. Did 3 miles in 35 min. on the treadmill last night. Then came home and painted some more. We are basically doing the whole house.

I weigh-in for BL at work today I think TOM is coming..after 43 days. Just quit already. 179.2 today

Thanks mothermavis! It feels good to not want snacks!

W: Still thirsty, still drinking, it must be hormones toying with me!
E: My workout didn't go well yesterday. My body is resisting the increased frequency.
E: My birthday dinner will be different next year.
D: You tripped, you didn't fall - keep going!

Hey girls,

Still here. Just crazy busy with work. Met my goal for January
Wanted to hit 208.7 and hit 208.4. Stoked. I didn't eat stellar, but I made it. Going for another 4% body weight in Feb.

Hope to get back Sunday and catch up. Hope you are all doing well!!!!!

Be blessed and keep drinking your water ladies!

Hey Kris- Glad you popped in and CONGRATS

178 yesterday and today. about 1400 calories a day and a good workout at the gym. It TOM right now so I keeping my fingers crossed that I will lose a bit as this passes. I want under 175 SSSSOOOO bad.

Yay Kris!!

Espresso, is it your Birthday, or just a neat thought?

Mindy, keep at it, it will work!

Emi, Curly, Momto, Flowers.....hope all is good!

W 100
E Dreadmill, week 6 (third time, it's been a tough few weeks,not quite ready to move on.
E OP, Super Bowl is not a reason to undo my progress
D One choice at a time, surrounding myself with good choices, improves my odds for success.

W: Drinking even more on the advice of coaches
E: Great workout yesterday! burned 623 Calories!
E: Appetite effectively suppressed with no ill effects
D: You are lapping everyone eating chips and dip today.

@Mavis, yes, Wednesday was my birthday. The dinner did not support my weight-loss efforts.

I'm in a significantly more optimistic mood today than I was all weekend!

And I didn't emotionally eat the entire weekend!

W: Excellent and above target - I've been very thirsty!
E: 6 days a week is hard, but I'm pushing through it - this is week 4!
E: No cravings means great control and easily within my daily allowance
D: Just do it!

Happy Birthday Espresso! Hope it was great!

TOM has passed and I am hoping this is a good sign. Did 2 miles in 25 min, 15 min. bike and a few machines. 176.8 today. I want under 175 SSSOOO bad. Weigh-in on Th. PLEASE!!!

Thanks mothermavis! It wasn't bad, and next year will be better!

@mindy 1.5 lbs is 5250 calories, if not the day after tomorrow, then next Thursday for sure.

W: I finally released some water, so whatever was making me thirsty was satiated by last night. I'm still thirsty, but at least I'm releasing the water too.
E: Group workout this evening. Longer than usual.
E: I had 410 calories after dinner. I'm not too disappointed though. I had forgotten to take the appetite suppressant, and absolutely absent mindedly (out of habit) grabbed some snacks. Now I know the power of that product! It really helps me keep it under control.
D: One step at a time, one moment at a time, one meal at a time, one pound at a time.

I have been toying with the idea that the appetite suppressant is what makes me thirsty, I think I should check to see if it's also related to water retension.

Had a really rough emotional day yesterday. Couldn't stomach food very much. consumed about 1,000 calories. Did 2 miles on the treadmill, 12 min. on the bike and leg machines, plus some plank work. 175 TODAY!!

YAY MINDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried to repeat yesterday but no such luck. Ate about the same, workout the same....still 175. Not even a few ounces.

my loss at school was 4 pounds. That was enough for 1st place. I won $7.00. YAY!! Now if only I could do that every week. HA!!

2 miles, 12 min bike, less than 1200 calories....175.4 today. Go figure.

Good job Mindy!

W: Stepped up for increased exercise.
E: The appetite suppressant is keeping my portions AWESOME!
E: 7 Miles today with the group / did it! Not terrible, but blisters.
D: Just Do it!
