Nicole - Sounds like you had the day from ****. Just focus on getting through - eating bad won't help and will just make you feel worse afterwards.
Thanks for sharing your husband stories everyone - there seem to be some real gems out there!
Ish - welcome!
Diana - Fingers crossed for the 185 (and the jeans)!
Pint - Cheesecake is my downfall! It sounds delicious - but good job staying OP afterwards!
Well, today was a good day:
B - Skipped it (I can't eat before working out and by the time I was done I figured I'd just wait for lunch)
L - Turkey-Veggie Wrap, blueberries with yogurt and my daily latte
S - 4 of those pretzel snack chips thingies (YUM!)
D - broiled seabass, steamed broccoli, pineapple salsa and tomato salad
Did 20 mins on the monster stepper and 35 mins on the treadmill. Experienced with the Wii Fit and think I'll do the strength training and yoga parts from now on - It's fun!
Also bought some US Weight Watchers recipe books to take home!
It wasn't cake, but Ben & Jerry's pumpkin cheesecake ice cream.
Hubby made me a hot chocolate, made w/ milk, and brought it to me while I was relaxing in the tub. It was an "I'm sorry I was a jerk last night" chocolate. I said thanks, took a sip, waited until he was gone and poured it. It was hard to see it go, but I stopped just before licking the sink. I LOVE hot chocolate, especially while bathlaxin', but I hate the low-cal powdered stuff.
FYI, it's always better to doublecheck your teabag. I accidentally brewed my tea with a peppermint senna tea, instead of my regular peppermint tea. I do not feel well.

Oh, sorry - should learn to read apparently . Still sounds delicious though. I normally don't like ice cream at all, but Ben & Jerry's "Chubby Hubby" ... bad news!
Glad your husband came around to realizing he was a pain last night - and good job on resisting the chocolate temptation
Wow! That's impressive Jonathan and Zeus. May I ask what program you are doing?
I'm impressed with the weight loss, but also just impressed that you've been consistent for eight straight weeks - I hope to be as on track in 6.5 myself.
Nicole It sounds like you had an awful day! I am so sorry to hear this. cincimini is right. Eating off plan won't fix anything. In fact, the next day you normally feel even worse. I hope today is a better day. I will keep your Mom in my Prayers.
cincimini Broiled sea bass sounds good. I have really gotten into fish this year. I think it has less calories than a lot of other protein sources.
JonathanandZeus Hi and Welcom! Congrats on your success!
Lindsey We own a small diesel repair shop. They types of diesels we work on are Ford Powerstroke, Chevrolet/GMC Duramax, Dodge Cummins.
Nicole - Wow definitely a day from ****. I hope it goes better today.
I love all the husband stories. My ex always complimented me - all the time telling me how beautiful etc I was. Even when I gained 30lbs he was still all compliments. It sounds nice but the truth is the way he talked, you would think I was a super model or something so it got to where I just couldn't trust him, you know? Like he was always just going to say the same thing no matter what. Oh he did used to say something if my clothes were too tight but that was a jealousy thing more than anything.
So I am super duper excited to be in the 160's - barely but I am there!
Good lord, I'm so BLOCKED UP! I took 2 doses of laxative last night and nothing happened today...then realized I'd taken it improperly. Took some more today. It's been 6 days.
Today was OK foodwise. I didn't exercise aside from my routine walking to and from work and lunch walk.
Breakfast - 54
-Yogurt, 54
-Black coffee
Lunch - 420ish
-Pork with kimchi and an egg, 281
-Yogurt, 89
-Mini Kit Kat
Dessert/Nibbles - 400ish?
-Small portion of mint chocolate chip ice cream
-A couple chips with salsa at the import grocery store
-A tiny Halloween chocolate left on my desk
-A sample size (less than 2 oz) coffee w/cream and sugar
My eats were good for yesterday. I will be 100% on plan today as well. The scale was down .8 today so I am loving that. I am only 3 lbs away from my low. I am hopeful to get back there by the end of the month. I feel that if I stay dedicated I will reach my goal.
(I apologize if some of you belong to the same threads that I do but I wanted to put this out everywhere)
I also need to put something out to you guys that I have on my mind. Halloween. I love that holiday so very much. With that, I realized that Halloween is the holiday that I allow to ruin my eating every time. I go off the wagon and have a bunch of candy. Then you're eating/nibbling/exposed to candy for the next 2 weeks. By that time, you feel so crappy about eating all of that candy but then you realize that Thanksgiving is right around the corner too. And it just gets progressively worse from there until there I am again on New Year's Eve wondering what in the sweet chocolatey heck just happened.
I don't want that to happen this year. I put it out on facebook last night that I am not going to have 1 piece of candy this year. I want to be stronger than my "old behavior". Make no mistake about it, I am terrified. I have never had a Halloween without candy. Never. Not one. But I don't want it to derail me. I do not trust myself around fun size pieces of candy.
I have a very clear goal in mind as far as a time frame to reach goal and go to maintenance mode and I want to power through my first Halloween with flying colors so that I am not bothered by the rest of them to come. Does this make any sense to you guys? Thank you for letting me get this out. I just needed to put it out to you guys so that it's real for me.

I think it's kinda cool being your own boss.

If you're look for accountability and support you have def. come to the right place! 
I hope this Thursday is treating you well
