Wish me luck this evening. This one meeting tonight will determine just about our future from here on out! I got to get ready for work! Have a great onplan day! Penny

Hello all
Good luck Penny
Ok Anyone want to go to my meeting and weigh-in in my place.It is not going to be pretty But I am going anyway.
I am trying to do better today. What weight I gained is hurting me so have to get it together. Playtime is over.I have to get serious if I want to stay around. My heart can't handle this weight.
I'm starting to sound depressing
Where there is a will there is a way.Gotta find that way
Have to go and get my stuff ready for the meeting.Hope you all have a good weigh-in

Hi guys,

How is everyone doing today. Stephanie I am sure you are getting more and more excited as each day goes by. Hang in there girl the end is almost here just to start the rest of your life.LOL Get lots of rest now. Because once the baby comes you won't be sleeping much that is for sure. Your sleeping in days will be over.LOL

Penny,

Good luck with the mortgage broker tonight. Sorry you have to miss your meeting. But at least your scale is being good to you. Sounds like you have stayed on plan for the most part this week with fewer worries about it.

I think we all have been more laxed this week with our plans. But sometimes we need to do that to get things back into perspective.
I haven't done good eating today. But I did end up exercising last night for 30 min. of aerobics. I am so happy with myself this week. Even though I have not eaten good I know I have lost inches and that is a great feeling and I even look smaller in the mirror now. So that is what is going to keep me going. I am going to stay closer in my point range this week. Now that most of the parties are over with. I only have one left which is saturday. But that will be okay. I don't know how long we will be staying at that one.
So I know that the scale will be up but I did make progress this week which is great.

Christie,

Good luck with weigh in tonight and goodluck with your program to. What is it about again?

Let me know how it goes with everyone. Eleni you have weigh in tonight as well. Good luck.

Marie,

Where are you hiding out. Haven't heard from you. What is happening girl. Hope you are making it back to your meetings again.

Keep up the great work everyone. We should be proud of ourselves because we haven't given up.

Hi Stephanie,

Yes I am kind of doing the ww points. But this week I am going to do much better. This is the only thing that really worked for me. I gave it up for about 5 months now but I am going to get back to it for sure. I think it is easy also. Glad to have someone else doing it also.

Hi everyone!!

Well, I did it! I finally got the confidence to do the 5k!! We had a great time! My friend and I walked and even jogged a little. My family was there cheering me on and afterwards we went to the carnival that was there. With the weather,walk, carnival, BBQ and fireworks, it had to have been the best 4th of July in a very long time! My friends' son even said that him and Zack (my son) have the coolest moms!! One funny thing though, the sponser of the run/walk was Miller Lite beer! Who'd have thought???
Stephanie-you must be getting so excited! Having a baby is such a wonderful thing! I sure miss those times!
Elani-don't sweat the weigh-in, it's only a number!

Have a great day everyone! I'm off to bed!! Yesterday has caught up with me!!zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[shortstack]

good afternoon all.

Eleni-should be very proud of yourself for going tonight, knowing that it might not be "pretty", but I'm thinking of you, and hopefully it won't be as bad as you think.

Penny-your in my thoughts, hope the meeting turns out the best.

Christie-I hope you are well also, and I hope you have a loss tonight

Shelly-congrats on the 5k. acomplishing milestones like that sure can put things into prespecitive. ps, don't be surprised, those beer companies help out a lot. It's great advertising (somewhat).


I hope this evening is finding everyone doing great.
I'm doing the meeting on Monday. I get so nerveous talking in front of people. We are also passing out the charms on Monday. It's so strange that it has been 3 months already. I'm doing pretty good, I've not completely stayed on plan, but I'm watching what I'm eating. The scale says it's down, hopefully it will be on Monday.

Have a great day tomorrow, and remember that small changes at a time, add up to a lifetime of consistant change.

Hi Everyone,

Well I didn't have a good weigh in at all tonight. But I am not down about it. I am surprised though. But starting tomorrow I am going back on the WW 123 plan. It worked for me before. I went out and bought my lite white bread. I am not going to watch anything but the numbers I am supposed to get to in a day. My range is from 20-25 pts a day. I did this before. I did lose 1 inch all over this week from exercising. I didn't exercise today. But I am getting smaller and as long as I remember that I will do fine. I feel much better about myself. I actually don't mind the way I look in the mirror anymore. I also went out and bought my 94% ff popcorn that I was eating before. I am not going to worry about anything just do the plan and enjoy myself everyday.

By the way I gained 4 lbs tonight. It is the most I have ever gained in one week. It also put me higher then I was when I first started tops back in nov. so all that hard work that I did was for nothing because I am right back where I was. But No more. I can do this. Eleni you can to. We have to get off our butts and make this happen. I feel terrible and big and that is because I am big. But it doesn't make me a terrible person. We know what to do. We just have to do it. You know what you were doing back when you were losing weight also. Please look back at your journals and see what you were eating then. That will help you out a lot. I am going to get back to my plan that works starting tomorrow. I can have what I want but I have to stay within my points for the day. And I am going to start having my popcorn at night again. Of course I am going to keep up with the exercise because I did so great this week. Just imagine that if I had eaten healthy all week that could have been a 4 lb loss instead of a gain. But that is okay. Tomorrow is a new day for all of us and we can do this. We don't have to be fat for the rest of our lives. I was thinking about what Dr. Phil had said in the last tape that I made of him. He said it doesn't matter what you weigh today. It matters what you weigh a year from now. Because what you do today and tomorrow will take you to where you will be one year from now. And no matter if we do anything about it or not that time is going to pass no matter what. And we will not weigh the same as we do now in one year. We will either weigh more or less. That is a very powerful thought. And he is right. I am not going to concentrate on the scale anymore just on how I live my life from day to day. And that means making healthy choices and sticking with my pts everyday so that I don't weigh more then I do right now in another year. I have put the scale away a week ago and I am not taking it out of the closet. I have penny to thank for that one. I don't have to weigh myself to decide wether I am doing good everyday. The time will tell in the way that I look and how my clothes fit. Right now they are fitting very tight and they are uncomfortable. I am making a packed with myself to do something now because I refuse to get out my size 18 jeans. I just won't do it. So if I want these pants to fit then I have to lose the weight to be comfortable again. I can do this I know I can.

I hope some of these words help out someone. Sorry to just ramble but I have to do something. Even though I did lose inches I can't take getting bigger and bigger every week. I am with you eleni and we have to do something because we are not healthy right now. But at least I like myself again. It took all week to get to that point again.

I tried today to quit my house cleaning jobs I have but I chickened out. I don't have the heart to do it. I want to quit and I know that once I do it I will have less stress on me thinking about it. But I keep chickening out to do it. I will try again on monday.LOL I want to only have one job and I can work at home doing it so that is what I want to do. At least we are at a point now where I can make that decision. It is nice to not have to work the 2 jobs. I just have to get past the quitting part. I hate quitting jobs. It isn't like I can just stop going. I have known these people for 2 years now. They are very nice and I can't do that to them. I just have to get up the nerve to do it.

Sorry for rambling on here. I just have talk myself into doing this and losing this weight once and for all.

Hi everyone. Here I go again. Trying to get back on track. I read all the notes from everyone - very helpful, but wonder why I cannot get myself in the right frame of mind to lose. I keep telling myself I must get serious, but an excuse always comes up. Food at work, travelling, no time.

I have been serious for the past two days. I am watching fat grams, but also being careful of calories. Now, if I could just get some exercise. I am trying to be real strict until I weigh in next week. Maybe a good loss will help motivate me.

I know I can.
