OK ladies for those of you who have not posted your weight, TODAY IS WEIGH IN!!! We have one week till Halloween. So get out there and lose that last pound before Halloween YOu girls are such GREAT support, and I'm so glad to have you! If the majority of our group weighs in by the end of today, I will post our weigh in.

Good luck everyone

Me: 171 lbs... 2 lb loss this week, yay.

Ugghh, do we have to weigh today? I was 149.5 Sunday, and 149.5 again yesterday, but today ... 151. Timing sucks sometimes.

OK, whining over. At least it's Friday!

I would say 150 then Julie, unless you know you over ate yesterday major. Otherwise its probably 150

Today I was 158. I will blame TOM.

Great idea for the Christmas challenge with Thanksgiving mini-goal. I'm in!

Alright, I'm up 2 lbs. I kind of knew that was coming. I've got TOM coming next week, and I really didn't do much exercise-wise this week. Oh and I ate A LOT!

I wonder why I can't stay consistent with eating well. What do you guys do? What is your average daily menu? Do you have a day or meal once a week where you can eat whatever, or do you stay consistent throughout the week?

I think what I do is let any small (or big) problem be a reason to eat. So that is clearly emotional eating, but I don't really know how to conquer it.

Well 147.6 (what I put down as my start weight) is what I weighed Monday. Today I'm 146.4!!! I'm so happy. I hope to make 145 by Halloween. Good luck to everyone else!

Darby... I'm the same way with my emotions.. I just eat them away. Weirdly so far the only thing that helped is going strict vegetarian, with no dairy products as well as meat. I haven't had that problem since. It's weird! I don't count calories or watch what I eat, but I tend to eat healthy but some days I over eat, I allow myself to have soy icecream, and I think knowing I can have whatever I want helps. During TOM I do eat more than I think I should, but I bounce right back.

Are you still using dairy products?

Eh, it is what it is. It's just water, but it is my weight this morning. I just really needed to whine about it for 10 seconds. Out loud. So to speak.

Thanks

jillnicole-no dairy. Haven't had it in years. I've been vegan since 2001. I've always been an emotional eater; even went to therapy for a while in the
90's, because I was having bulimic/anorexic tendencies. I guess I just have to teach myself to do other things if I'm feeling emotional. I'd really like to talk to a professional again, but haven't had luck in finding somebody who specializes in these problems. Not even sure if my insurance would cover it.

Hii

I have a horrible cold I weighed in this morning at 145..suprise suprise. I haven't exercised in a few days soo next week when Im feeling back to myself I am determined to break out of 145. I am soo happy you are starting a new challenge!! Well u all have a wonderful weekend!!

153! It's a good start!

140.5... I decided to step on the scale and see if I can pull it together for one week. So the good news is after gaining I've been hanging out at the same weight for the past few weeks. The bad news is, (well duh) i gained back 10 lbs!!

270 still!!!! seriously I am hoping I will drop 4lbs next week since I have stayed the same for a while

Success!

I'm ignoring the rest . Onward
