Today is first day back to work so it will stop me from nibbling. I am considering joining a gym for 3 months to give me a kick start. I am also keeping track of my measurements to gage those loses also as I am sure to build some muscle and don't want to get discouraged if the scales don't move one week but I lose a inch or two.
Today not such a good one, had an extra 3 kids and 2 adults to visit and by the time they left 4 hours later I was so stressed I dived into the chocolate full on Nevertheless I'm proud of myself because I still did some exercise and toned down what I was eating for the rest of the day and didn't end up having a total blow out. Look at that some habits of old have already changed. Last time I tried this I would have said well that stuffs my week up and eaten like I hadn't eaten in months for the rest of the week. Anyway I'm feeling reasonably good atm even if my diet today wasn't picture perfect - damn left over chrissie choccies hiding in the back of the pantry. How did everyone else go?
Take care
Annette
PS funny seeing your early morning post (I think?) -it's 12:30 am here
I would love to join in your V-day challenge. I am pretty new to the 3FC site, so I am not sure how to put in the slide ruler you all have ... but my starting weight is 195. Any help anyone wants to offer will be greatly appreciated.

I figured it out and edited it in. Figured I should post that so you all wouldn't think I was nuts.
I did pretty good yesterday... My dog even took me for a 40-minute walk!! I say it that way, as I have a big Alaskan Husky who is born to run over ice & snow ... and we had plenty of ice out on the roads & sidewalks yesterday for her to drag me over!! LOL! I stayed pretty much OP yesterday. Caught myself snitching a bit this morning, so I put a stop to that!!
I didn't get my exercise in yesterday, so I'll call it an official rest day! My food was ok, if I overlook the chocolate after dinner...sigh. I'm definitely going to lose 1.5-2 lbs. a week by Valentines Day, and I'll just keep saying that to myself. Good luck to everyone today.

Game On!!!
oh what the heck - 10 lbs by valentines day. huh. i suppose i could do that. unfortunately i believe this means my legs will hate me even more than they actually do. on the other hand if i do lose it, my teammates will love me more? okay, i'll go with that as motivation - plus all of you trying to hold to the same goal.
I'm in! I'm aiming to lose 6 lbs by Jan. 22nd. I know it may not make a huge difference - but I'm a first time aunt and Godmother and the baptism is the 22nd. I want to look somewhat decent in all of the pictures that will be taken and 6 lbs is better than nothing. If I can make it another 6 by Valentine's, that's 12 lbs for me... Oh man, that'd be awesome!
I'm also a newbie, so anyone looking for a buddy can send me a message!!
Hope everyone had a good day. I've done pretty well, so far, totally on message, as we say here in Washington. Now that the holidays are over (and everybody at work is on a health kick), my real challenge is sticking with the program in the evenings. I've started reading Geneen Roth's Feeding the Hungry Heart, and I'm trying to teach myself knitting (I can cast on!) to distract me during that critical 9-10:30 p.m. lull.
Sarah Lee (is it true what they say, that nobody doesn't like you?), let us know if you'll be starting another thread or moving this thread to another forum. I want to keep up with all the action.
