Monica-glad to hear you were just bloated....I just recently came back from vacation and gained 10lbs in a week but alot also was fluid cause after I got back on trac I lost in all in about a week and a half...

Its so hard to get back into exercise once you stop....I'm just now making it back into the gym after being gone for over a month...I took my friend and I having to make a bet to get going again...we use to go almost everyday...Maybe you can find someone even on here to challenge you (even me) or make a bet with yourself that if you exercise so many times you treat yourself to something..

chicky-you'll love the gym once you start going...I was so addicted...I also am tanning after my workouts...I just walk next door to the gym...

Down a full pound finally. Starting to feel like I'm on track again.

Welcome jtjoray!

Forgot to weigh in on Monday, so I'll report today's weight----236.2. The scale finally moved a little!

Hi everyone

Another good day for me under my ever decreasing belt ;) , I actually got all my water in and the scale this morning said another .4 of a pound gone, how exciting. When I go for my dress fitting I'll get pictures and post them so you can see. I don't have a picture of me at my heaviest however I do have some from when I was 196 which was 10 pounds less then my heaviest.

dgpebbles, still not working out however I did join a bike challenge and will try my hardest to start that tonight. I think once I actually start I will be okay it's just gettong on that first time that seem so hard for me.

Supersized, yahhhh a whole pound......you go girl!!! Great work and keep it up, you are doing fantastic!!

dustcatcher, all those little moves of the scale add up, congratulation....looks like you will lose more then 1 pound with this challenge!!!

Shari, how are things going with you, how often do you go to your WW meetings??

Good luck for today, I hope you all drink your water and get some exercise...myself included and may the scales continue to slowly go down!!!

Monica

Monica, my first meeting is supposed to be Thrusday but that's at the one I hate so I'm gonna try to get to it. I can't wait to see your pictures!

Today was a HORRIBLE day. I felt like such a failure cause my supervisor was riding my back and I was messing up at every turn. As soon as I got off work, I went down to the canteen and brought ALL the remaining WW chocolates (four bags of the caramel drops and like ten of the crispy caramel bars). I always eat when I'm stressed or depressed. I had EVERY intention on devouring all of them then but I didn't at the moment because I was going to the cafeteria. I went straight to the pizza and burger line and for some reason that I can't remember now, I suddenly BOLTED out the line and jumped into the salad line! Before I could talk myself out of it, I brought a chicken salad with fat free dressing and a cup of water and practically ran out! I went outside and started eating my salad, still feeling depressed, and I dropped my fork! It was the only fork I had and I was pissed. I was sitting there sipping water when I realized that it was fate. I had only ate half the salad and two pieces of the chocolate and if I hadn't dropped the fork and hadn't stopped and thought about it, I would have kept eating even though I was FULL! Freaky!

Also, I've been trying to cut back on sodas (I've always drank Diet but still....) and I haven't had a soda in four days! Of course since I was so down, I wanted one but I kept repeating to myself that I had survived four days without them and I was able to pass on getting one!

Shari - Sounds like a good food day. It takes a lot of strength to move from a burger line to a salad line, subconsciously or not. And no soda...that's great. It's a bunch of days like that that can change your eating habits and your life.

Monica - Congrats on the loss. I can't wait to see your pics.

Today TOM surprised me at work and I've been bloated and crampy all day. I was going to get a happy meal, but decided on a turkey sandwich from subway instead, so that was good.

Wow everyone seems to be making good food choices!!! Way to go girls!!!

Shari, I agree with Supersized, it really sounds like you change a potentially bad food day into a fantastic one :D , congrats on your self-control. You should be so proud of yourself :D

Super, great decision for you too, turkey sub is much better then an empty calorie Happy Meal, way to go!!

I had a great day too, ate very healthy and got in my 64ozs of water. I didn't get in the exercise but I think the day spent running after the kids and cleaning seems to help with the weightloss for I dropped another 1.2pounds. Yahhh for me :D

Hope everyone makes good food choices again today and we all have good things to report later!!

Oh I just noticed on my ticker that I have finally lost more then what I have left to lose.....does that make sense??

Gongrats Monica! You're more than halfway there!

Yes! Even with TOM, another pound gone! My improved diet must have sent my body into shock after 3 weeks of bad food. Good thing because next weekend I'm going to Disneyland and I know I'm going to eat badly for those 2 days.

Thanks yall!

WTG Monica and Chicky!

Hello girls,

I hope everyone has a great week-end!! I have a jack n' jill to go to tonight for my SIL, there will be food and drink but I'm not to worried because when out with a group of people I get uncomfortable ( not much self confidence ) so I never feel like eating and no alcohol. So I should be fine :)

I hope you all make good eating decisions this week-end and we all have good things to report on Monday which is when I will check back in.

All the best girls,

so far this week I'm doing good eating but only got in one day at the gym for weights and cardio and last night I rode my stationary bike for 30 min...wish I could get in more exercise...

Monica - congrats for getting past your half way mark.

Chicky-way to go lossing another lb...keep it up..
