I failed at no ice cream tonight but now I have nothing left and I won't be tempted because there is nothing left! My goal is to continue to lose the weight slowly no more then 2 pounds a week, as I have no sagging skin and I am convinced it's because I am doing it slowly. I just need to keep reminding myself it's better to do it slowly, as I really want to already be at my goal weight. I love the Biggest Loser but sometimes watching it I just want it fast, but I try to keep reminding myself slow is best, it's the turtle that won that race. I am making a life style change to treat my body like a temple.

Alright, I'm back from my hike, so I can supply more info.
Welcome to our thread, Igetfit and Dogmom!
So we went for a 4.6 mile hike in the state park closeby and then came back and went out to lunch. I wasn't in the mood to cook anything and we were both hungry so neither of us were patient. We went to eat Thai. We got a fried rice with tofu and a thick noodle with chicken and chinese veggies. They were delicious AND *drumroll please* I ate slowly AND felt full after only eating maybe 1 cup of fried rice and 1.5 cups of the noodle thingie. I focused on chewing every bite. We also had calamari as an appy and I had only three of those. Man, those took a lot of chewing! I don't know how many calories that was, but I was very happy with my progress! So, I'll have a light dinner tonight maybe some soup and fruits to account for lunch today.
Echo - glad you like my avatar! I'm waiting to hit 160 before I change the pic. I have a few ideas for what I want it to be. It says "hehehehehehe" below the pic. I thought it was totally cute, so I put it up. When I get bored I look for animation gifs. Haven't found any worthwhile ones yet.
Cape - Excellent!! Is Turbo Jam by Billy Blanks? Holy crap, I used to do his ultimate butt & thighs (something like that) and it kicked my butt. Wow, I used to be SO sore afterward...
Hey Cape, Sunni, and welcome DogMomNp nice to have you join us!!! and IgetfitNStrongforme!! way hey you found us here!! welcome to the group! good luck on the ice cream fast hehe
thanks so much for the positive support Cape ! really appreciate it!!
i think you're right Cape, dont think the teams go by trainers.
aww thanks Sunni!! so sweet of you!!
cape - way to go on the exercise! you go girl!
way to go on the slow eating Sunni!!!! awesome and awwwwww i love your idea of changing avators based on weight loss!! that's so cool!!!!!!!
---
my confession for today:
no breakfast/lunch (cause of fasting).
dinner: 1 small bowl of fruit salad.
vegetable rice, with mince lamb curry, salad, and coleslaw, yoghurt. Today I ate slowly and stopped eating - as soon as i SIGHED (involuntary deep breath that indicates to you , that you are full) which happened around the 15 minute mark.
i'm now having peppermint tea, as i heard that its not good to drink cold water after a meal as it solidified the oils in your food. so drinking something warm is recommended
i am so craving a chocolate brownie !! i saw it on the biggest loser (season 6 - when they have to eat as much as they can to gain control) i dont have any brownies in the house lol. so i might have a kitkat later on tonight hehe
exercise - 27 minutes of Yoga X (P90x).
hope you girls had a good day !!
Hi Echo,
You are everywhere on the boards! LOL
I wish I lived in London it's a very beautiful city. See you on the boards tomorrow!
Thanks Sunni! And way to go on all the exercise today! and huge Yay! for chucking out the remaining temptation..huge steps!! I know in that situation about even a month ago I wouldhave said awe well its only 3 or 4 I will jsut eat them get them out n then move on.. because I would have had the excuse of waste not want not... yea thank goodness I hav made this commitment to get healthy.. lol hugs girly!

Morning, all! I'm happy to report that this morning I weighed in at 162.8, which means I'm on my way back to 162. I looked at my weight graph (on Fitday) this morning and I noticed that I drop consistently for 3-4 days, reach an all-time low and then boom! I'm up again, but it comes back down and the trend continues. Weird, huh?
Cape! What were you doing up at 5 AM?? Yeah, I'm gearing up for a Thanksgiving challenge. All those pie slices motivate me! Especially the turkey. He's cute.
Breffix: 1 cup skim milk + 1 tbsp cocoa powder (125 cals), Instant Oatmeal (maple and brown sugar flavor with a good tsp of cinnamon added by me ) 170 cals, 1 burfi. I was hungry for some reason.
Lunch: Leftover soup from last night. Will make fresh wontons. They're about 80 cals each. Soup is about 200 cals. If I'm still hungry, I'll have some spinach+mozzie ravioli (200 cals)
Snack: Watermelon or grapes or figs
Dinner: Hmmm...don't really know what to make.
Chit chat time: I saw a Lebanese movie last night, Caramel. It's really good! Some commented that it was very much like steel magnolias, only it addressed issues specific to the Lebanese culture. I haven't seen Steel Magnolias yet, but if it's like this movie, then I'm sure to like it! It's about 4 girlfriends who work in a beauty salon and the issues they face throughout the movie. I can't compliment it enough! Really well acted and directed.

Hi girls, this is going to be a quick message. i'm so annoyed at myself. yesterday i spilled a large glass of water on my keyboard so stupid!!!
i'm hoping that it will work again once it dries out completely, but right now, its only giving me a few letters. so i've borrowed my moms old laptop that is super slow,but beggars cant be choosers!!
i've ordered a connector thingy, to connect my old keyboard to my new computer, but that wont come for a few days. anyways just wanted to say hey!
some of the water spilled on my monitor too! thank god it works though. but it doesnt switch off lol which is weird. but thats okay, as long as its working. i've got it so the display automatically switches off after a few minutes, and at night will just switch it off from the plug.

Thank you everyone for welcoming me so warmly. Thanks but I wish I hadn't had the ice cream and walnuts but I did.
But hey I didn't add any sugar to my cups of tea yesterday which is a small victory. And I didn't add it again this morning nor did I use the salt today. I'm trying to only have a 1/4 tsp of idione salt a day because I eat foods that already have salt in them and today my goal is to only eat 1800 calories because I am calorie cycling.
Breakfast

For a second there, I thought you meant salt in your coffee and I was like "BLECH! That's ONE way to get over a sugar craving!" Then I realized what you really mean to say.

Oh sorry about that, no I don't add salt to my coffee I use to put salt on my eggs with salsa and the sugar in my coffee.

Hey ladies...had an off day ..BIG TIME...(t.o.m) I started off rocking it.. but then yea.. i missed my afternoon snack and went over board this evening... am noticing a pattern.. if i miss that snack I tend to slip up.. so heres my day..
Breakfast - 3 egg whites scrambled, 1 piece of ancient grain toast, 1 tsp.raspberry freezer jam and 8oz. of skim milk
Snack - 1 sml. container of raspberry yogurt and 1/4c. of harvest crunch
Lunch - Slimfast Shake, 1 Tomato and Basil rice cake and 1 sml. indiv. size bag of Cocoa All Bran Snack Bites
Supper - Pan fried Haddock and french fries
Snack - 2 rice cakes, a whole bag of microwave popcorn and a granola bar
sighhhhhh... well it was a busy day at work so did alot of walking and moving.. but still yea .. oppps...?
tomorrow is another day.. I had to be at work for 630 this morning so I was up at 5 and with "my lil friend" visiting..I am wiped out.. think I am gonna call today Bust and grab my book and head to bed.. tomorrow will be a better day!!! I am still proud of how well I have been doing..(lost 3.5 pounds last weigh in..) but I hate how my tummy feels now...way too full!
I hope you all had great days!!
May God Bless... HUGS
even tho I faultered Sunday...I kept relatively busy today, and prior to working out, I didnt overeat..which is good. I may not have made great choices...but I didnt stuff myself. I was happy to feel "empty" this morning...which honestly, I havent felt in MONTHS!!

Yeah, I did too. Plus, my stupid spacebar key broke on my stupid laptop and I spent 3 hours trying to fix it. I've replaced it before and it took me all of 2 seconds and for some reason it just didn't want to work today. My other key also came off and the hinge for that broke so I um taped it up and replaced it. I feel sorry for anyone who uses that key.
No worries, Chica. You'll be back on plan tomorrow. I'm also feeling ravenous (TOM here too). This is the first time in 3-4 months that I'm getting mild cramps and eating everything in sight.

Lunch - 2 cups wonton soup with homemade wontons (6, but they're tiny)
5 spinach and mozzie stuffed raviolis
Snack - where do I start? 2 figs, 2 bananas, 3 burfis and a 100 cal popcorn bag
Dinner - chickpea curry with potato cakes (3, each had 0.5 tsp of oil, if that)
Ugh. I don't even WANT to know how many calories those were. Blah. No exercise because it was rainy this morning and it was super late by the time we had dinner.

Sorry to hear, Echo. Computer probs are the worst! I had a little mishap with my keyboard today and it was NOT fun dealing with it. Mine's nothing compared to yours though. I hate computers.
today
My goal is to continue to lose the weight slowly no more then 2 pounds a week, as I have no sagging skin and I am convinced it's because I am doing it slowly.
