  • Im iN!!!
    Hey everybody, im new today. and I would love to start off with a good challenge! and im sure eating chocolate hearts after losing 14lbs wont be soo bad,lol. Well I would also love to have a buddy who is also on this challenge, so we can communicate and help motivate each other. Hope to hear from Ya'll. Bye!!

  • brokeneyes u can join us anytime , and yes eating a chocolate heart would taste good ,i am going to try and not eat any chocolate,but i will splerg and go out to eat hopefully.since i have lost my val.goal hopefully i can lose a pound or so more and it won't hurt me too much to eat out.

    goalweight, at least i am not the only one whos scale is not working.it drives me nuts.
  • The ticker only shows up on the first post you make on each page - not all of them. There is a thread about it in the Announcements forum.
  • Welcome brokeneyes - yes, please join us in setting and meeting our goals. (Well, my goal hasn't gone so well, but it kickstarted me, and I'm doing better than I was before!) So today I am feeling a little out of control. I haven't eaten anything too bad yet, but I just want to put stuff in my mouth. I need to be very careful, because my t.o.m. is about to start (usually makes me want to eat like crazy) and because I had such a calorie deficit yesterday compared to the several days before, my body wants to compensate. I can just FEEL it - I've been munchy and even hungry at unusual times today. Ha ha, body. I am doing this on purpose. Please stop trying to compensate, as I know what's good for you more than you do.

    Talk to you all later!
  • Sara, you're funny!
  • Yeah, well, my "funniness" didn't completely work. My body and I both had some victories (against each other) yesterday. I was crazy eating-wise, like I said, and I ate more than I wanted to, but much less than I would have liked to. If I hadn't been trying to be so strong I would have eaten a lot, I think, especially since DH was out of town last night. I went to my dinner for my class, and did okay. I ate salad (with a little dressing) a little bit of pork roast (though none of the fat), a miniscule baked potato(smaller than the palm of my hand), about 10 Cheetos (which, as I've said are my weakness), a bunch of grapes and a half banana. I was able to pass up the ice cream sandwich at the end. At home afterwards it was a slightly different story, and I ate some cashews I shouldn't have, as well as a bit of cheese. I finally realized I was going to keep snacking, so I compromised and popped a few cups of popcorn (stove popper) using less than a tsp of olive oil. It wasn't a victorious day, but I wasn't defeated. Sort of a stalemate. I was tired, but I did walk on the elliptical 30 minutes as well.
    Anyway, enough about me - how are you all doing??
  • well today is a boreing day here,its cold and rainy,and blah.really makes u just want to curl up with a movie and eat popcorn or something.i think i will go to the tanning bed so i can get some vitamin d in my skin and feel better.hope ya'll have a great day.
  • Down another pound everyone!!!! YEAH!!! CHEER FOR ME!!!!
  • wonderful! that is fabulous.congrats!!
  • Hey
    Well ive lost 3 lbs as of today because of water weight no doubt..but it's still weight!!! Im so exited to find a commuinity that actually does chat everyday and encourage healthy weight loss!

    ** Dont worry about losing a certain amount of weight in a short amount of time..challenges are great, but as long as you are constantly moving in a positive direction the weight will fall off in time***

    Keep up the good work!!!

    Valentines day goal..
  • thanks i appreciate it,they three pounds is wonderful.
  • CharlieKay you own a restaurant? How can you resist the temptation?

  • I'm down 9lbs, but I'm stalling a bit.
  • YES YES YES!!!

    It's gone, it's gone, it's gone!!

    *Does happy dance*

    It was 198.8 this morning so I lost that last 0.5 lb and 0.2 lb as well.

    Valentine's Day goal well and truly demolished!!!!

    So my next goal now is 12 pounds by St Patrick's Day - that's down to 187 by 17/3/6. That's exactly 2 pounds a week.
