Hi djmommy! How are you today. I am doing fine. My little boy cried when I left him at pre-school, but when I called to check on him, he was doing fine. That is wonderful that your husband is supportive, but he still likes me to buy him some junk food. I find that if I put it in the cabinet above the refrigerator and not in the pantry that I am not tempted to eat it. I think that is half the battle. My husband is supportive of my weight loss too. But I don't think I could get him to do sit-ups! We both have gained weight since we got married 4 years ago!

Don't worry about the ups and downs, I have days where I stick faithfully to my calories and the next few days (depending on what is going on) I might have a few days of ups and downs. Remember we are learning to eat healthy and maker better choices in the foods we eat! A good week for me is when I might not have lost any weight, but I haven't gained either.

Well weigh in is in the morning. Hoping for a weight loss for both of us! Where is your home state? This weekend I am going to meet my sister and her family and take my older boy Taylor to see Harry Potter!! We haven't missed a movie since they came out. I'll have to remember not to eat a whole lot for breakfast. I can't seem to pass up the popcorn. If right now, I hear it calling my name (ha! ha!). Have a good day!

Hi, glad to here your boy did well today. I need to keep the food out of sight too. I use to keep it in a lower cabinet in our old home but now we have a larger pantry so I stuff it all in there. Maybe I will stick it in the laundry room cupboards. Then I will just get fat doing laundry. HEHe. I live in Ohio now. My husband has work over here for about 5 years. If we like it here we will stay. I use to live in Michigan. I do miss my buddies and family. I was very close to everyone. The phone calls just are not the same. I have only been here 3 months. I have met some wonderful people, but not anyone I can really laugh and be silly with. I am sure I will, it takes time. The person we bought the house from is super. We have girls night out once a month so that is nice. She arranges alot of parties and always includes me. So I am meeting people through her. I was able to work out today. Yeah no pain. I even ran a lap. I love to work out. I go to a great gym. I just wish I was as strong and lean like some of those ladies. I look around and that motivates me to go that last mile. Yes weigh in is tomorrow. I hope I do not forget to post. We are leaving early in the morning. I will try to remember. I know I will weigh my self in the morning so if I do not post it I will on Sunday. Have fun at the movies. My boys want to go to it also. Maybe we will have time over the vacation. Good luck today catch up with you later.

Good morning, I weighed myself. I was 195 and today I am 190. Total lost 5 pds. I was up an d down all week. I do weigh myself every now and then. So I would say I lost 3pds this week. YEAH. I may ask my husband to hide my scale. This way I can not weigh in until next Friday. I hope you have a good weight lost. I am off to mi. I wonder what happen to all the other ladies that were interested in this thread. I thought we had a pretty good group going here. anyway again good luck.

Congratulations djmommy! Way to go! Just think next week you will be in the 180's!!!! Yeah!!! I also had a terrific weigh-in. I lost 5lbs this week. Whoo Hoo! I can't wait to be out of the 200's, which I haven't been in 3 years. I try not to weigh myself too often, because it seems to affect my mood. I think the biggest thing that is helping me is that I came in here and post my weight! Seeing those numbers really put things in perspective. I really want to see it go down instead of up. I also think your support has been wonderful. I hope you have a great time in Michigan!
I'm not for sure what happened to the other women, but they can join us any time. The more the merrier! Shelleybelly

Hi djmommy, I hope you are having a great weekend. Just wanted to let you know that my son and I went to Harry Potter last night at the 10:45 movie. It was great! Shared a bag of popcorn with Taylor and between the two of us we only ate half the bag. I was proud of myself. :corn:

Hi shelly belly, Yeah for you. Way to go. You are doing awesome. I wish I would be in the 180s that will be a while. I will be happy with any weight that I loose this week. I had a terrific time with my family and friends. The girls went out last night and I laughed soooo much. We had a ball. I did drink and eat alot, but I really had a great time. I miss them all so much. Any way today back to focusing. I am not going to weigh myself at all. I will make sure my hubby hides the scale. This way I will not become disappointed.I will not be able to weigh in though until Sunday. We are going back to Mi on Wed. Soooo I may have to weigh in after vacation. yuck..... Oh More reason for me to stay focused. (Yeah Like I did this weekend.) I will try though. Anyway I am glad this is working for you . I enjoy this too. It makes me accountable for my actions. I have to fess up and be honest. I wish I could get that tracker working. I just went on it again. I do not know what to do after it tells me Congratulations. I tried to type the web in and that did not work . Oh well maybe I will have my sis help me when I go home. I am not the best at all on computers. As you can tell from my typing errors. Anyway hang in there. Keep it up, you are doing . so good. Check with you later.

hi shelly wondering if I got the tracker to work . http://www.3fatchicks.com/weight-tra...cker/index.php

OOPS STILL FIGURING IT out

Hi again, after much frustration I think I may have figure out this darn tracker. Well here it goes .

Yeah I did it. Well know I have to be motivated to loose the weight I can actually see it on a tracker. Good luck again

Hi djmommy! Sounds like you had a nice weekend. It is always nice to see friends. I am sorry to hear that you live far away from you friends and family. I am very lucky, my husbands family lives within 4 to 10 minutes away from us and my family lives around 30 to 40 minutes away. I am sure that you didn't do too bad. You have to remember that you don't have to eat right 100% of the time, every now and then you need to let your hair down and just enjoy some food that you normally don't eat. I think that it helps us feel like we are not being deprived and that it is ok to eat something that is not healthy! Why don't we weigh in again the first Friday in December. That will give us a week to work off the Thanksgiving Dinner! Gotta go! Keep up the good work!

I see it! Way to go! :carrot: :carrot: :cp: :dance: :dancer:

hi, sounds good to weigh in next week . It will be better all the way around. I was able to work out today. 30 minutes on the step and 15min rowing. I willl not be able to work out tomorrow. I wish I had something here at home. Maybe my husband will be home early enough so I can get a work out in. Do you work out at all? Good luck .

That's great that you got to work out. I will keep my figures crossed that your husband gets home early enough so that you can get a work out in. Sometimes I walk on my treadmill but right now that is the only workout that I get. Eventually, once the kids get a little older I would like to join a gym again. I love to lift weights. I was home sick today so I didn't make good food choices, but I will get back on it in the morning! Keep up the good work!

So sorry to hear you were sick. I hope you are feeling better today. Better being sick now than on Thanksgiving. I am sure you did well yesterday. One day usually does not do it, it is when you go for 2 or more days. I am proof of that. I got back on the scale. I forgot to tell hubby to hide it. I guess I am glad I did . I gained all of it back. I hope it is all water. This hopefully will make me make better food choices this weekend. The hard part is not being at your own house and having to eat what is offered as a guest. Maybe I will pack a survival pack. Anyway one day at a time Good luck today
