welcome to all the new posters!

daug - :high: I like your outlook.

July - the scale WILL move!

Lockitup - TOM is lame - next week it's all you!!

I made it to the gym this morning (thankfully, because I need to be up at 5am tomorrow for commuting) and have had an OP day. I'm finding I'm not hungry - which I know is not great. I'm going to try and be on a schedule for eating.

Hoping for a good WI this week, but with TOM, who knows?

first weigh-in for this goal is Friday!!!!! I havent been walking like i should, i need to get on that!

Lockitup ... so close to the 2 though!! Great job! Hope you see that little extra next week.

Rose WOW that is an incredible loss for one week! Must feel great!!

porusgal You should definitely join us!

dcapulet 5:00 is early, I've been trying to make it my regular time to get up, so I can work out and it's a struggle for sure. Hoping I can make it a habit. Sounds like TOM is affecting a bunch of us this week. :devil:

Moon Hope you have a great weigh-in on Friday!

I am already thinking about the chocolate I am NOT going to eat this weekend! LOL My first holiday test. AH!

Daug - I have struggled with this easter thing. PB eggs, Caburys cream - ALL my favorites!! We got some candy for the kids (but only a small amount) and my husband wanted more! I wouldn't back down though, so we compromised. I may have a sweet treat (some no carb something) but I'm really going to try and stay away from it.

Easter dinner will be Shepard's Pie - and I will only have a SERVING SIZE of potatoes with it (a holiday first!) The way I see it, holidays are going to keep coming up and I need to figure out how to live with them.

Today's commute was ok, work was ok, but when I came home - BAM! I fell asleep and now I feel groggy and a little achy. Gym tomorrow though, and of course, WI!

Glad I was able to find this thread again. Now I hope that I don't lose it again.

I'm hopping in here for this. :) My brother, whom I haven't seen in around 5 years, and my sister are coming down to visit for Memorial Day weekend, so I want to impress them. :)

Truer words were never spoken!!! I am really seeing Easter as a pre-test to the holiday season come November. We're doing the same thing... less less candy. What would happen typically here is we don't want the kids eating it all, so to 'protect' them we eat it! AH! You know, the garbage wasn't an option. :dizzy:
Got the kids a bunch of $1-store-esque trinkets to fill up the space. We don't usually do a lot of Easter anyway thank goodness. I shopped for our dinner last night and made sure to get just enough, no leftovers! Luckily I don't host a large family gathering or anything, so that helps to not completely be surrounded all weekend with food.

welcome sally and korji!

Daug - I love your plan - no leftovers :) Right now, I'm looking for a recipe for a fruit type dessert without alot of carbs. Good luck with that, I know!

Today's a gym day, and hopefully the end of TOM!

Update: lost 2 pounds on my weigh in today! I have 23 more to go for this challenge :D

I almost didn't get on because I still haven't lost any weight:( It is that TOM but still it's hard to go another week without seeing the scale move. I did exercise 4 times this week, plus we are going hiking tomorrow. Maybe next week will be the week I lose a pound or two.

Hope everyone else is doing good this week :)

Great job, Moon! Congrats on those 2 pounds!

Sounds like you're doing wonderfully with the exercise chick !! Hope you had a great hike!!

Only down a pound this week, battling TOM stuff myself. I am pretty excited about having a very successful Easter though!! No chocolate was eaten.. that is a miracle for me! LOL We made a carrot cake, had a piece, and DH took the rest of it to work yesterday so it got out of the house! And no leftovers... so had our meal, our cake, and moved on with life. Feels great!! :broc:

Awesome job moon!
Superchick - you rock for showing up to post. I hide too sometimes - no shame here, just game :)
Daug - Congrats on the 1lbs lost, and more importantly, for handling Easter so well. It's just plain tough - how to eat "normally' without going overboard? Sounds like you got moderation!

I went to the gym last night, and yesterday was a totally OP day - feels very very good. TOM seems to FINALLY be gone, and I'm hoping to see a good loss this Friday :) Have a great day all!

Lockitup - you're a rock star. Just saying. :high:

Yesterday was not 100% OP - nothing off my plan, but a little more food and sodium then I normally eat. I felt gross this am.

Today - ALL OP, gym already, but I nearly cut the tip of my thumb off! Still, doing much better today ;)
