yay!!! i am finally back on my weight loss !!! i lost another pound this week. that only puts me 2 pounds behind goal i think. but i'll take it. as long as i can keep up a pound a week...i am soooo totally happy!!!:carrot:

Ok, so I did well on my calories yesterday but no exercise, and today I pigged out for dinner, so I have to exercise. I hope I can get back the motivation that helped me to make my last challenge. Maybe I'm craving bad food because TOM is coming up, but I have a fear that this new work environment (more sitting and co-workers that like to talk about food) might help me to slip back into my old habits and I'll end up being 250 again. I don't think I'm going to lose anything this week. :(

Sidenote: Today I bought a dress from the Gap and it was a size 14! I also bought a dress from Ann Taylor Loft that was a size 16. I've never been able to shop in those stores before.

Hey all! Im still here and doing ok I suppose. Im so sick of baseball and school...cant wait till those are over with and I can live normally for a while ..till soccer and school starts again...AHHH.

Looks like everyones doing good!

courtnie- I hope you guys get the new apartment/condo!

Rosario- I love rum and coke...errr diet coke lol.. Have fun in LA!

Aimee- Yeah, we are all close to the same weight! Lets get if off together!!

Its hard to me to exercise in the morning..im a night person..I have so much more energy at night, even if I do exercise in the morning...im not sure why.

lumifan-WAHOO! Keep it up girl!

Super- GOOD JOB on getting into smaller sized clothes!! Feels great shopping somewhere where you couldnt before!!!

Randee - I'm with you, I find if I exercise in the morning I'm sometimes MORE tired.. weird huh? My goal is to be down under 210 by my birthday, which is August 19th!

Rosario - I've personally never been a rum and coke gal, I've more been into Vodka, 7up and some lime juice. They called it a Vodka Slime. Have fun in LA :) Nothing like going home for a little bit, eh?

Super - Woohoo! Congrats! I love getting into smaller sizes :) I am just on the edge of getting into GAP 16's.. I cannot wait to totally be into normal sizes. I think it's pretty exciting :)

lumi - I noticed you'd kinda disappeared lately... glad to have you back! Congrats on that pound :) You definitely inspired me to think of weight loss in real terms.. and to only plan for 1 pound a week. It sounds pretty basic, but it was totally lost on me.. heh.

So for my weigh in?? Ready for it? I lost 2 pounds!! yay :) I am over half way to my July 4th goal!

woohooo woohooo :dance:
my orginal july 4th goal was 25 pounds and I have lost not even 10 pounds :( blah sooo slow! I hope the scale is down this weekend, it is looking unlikely. Although it should be back down to where I was two weeks ago. Least I lost the gain from last week (i hope!)

Aimee--Woo hoo!! Congrats on the 2 pounds!:carrot:

Super--Congrats on the new sizes! Very exciting!

Courtnie--That new condo sounds great! I'm crossing my fingers for you that everything works out!

Lumifan--Congrats on the loss! A pound a week is what I'm aiming for too...I swear I gain it back if I lose any faster than that.

Rosario--Have a fabulous time in LA!

Not much to report over here except that I resisted the craving for some dessert last night...TOM always makes me want dessert! I'm glad I ended up not having any.

Woohoo! I lost weight after all. When I saw it I said, "thank you body."

So I went digging thru my closet today.. and I was pleased to find that I can get into REGULAR size 16 pants!!! And while I was in the box where I keep some of my smaller clothes I had to get rid of some because they are TOO BIG! It's completely thrilling for me. :) Infact, I'm so happy with myself that I'm thinking I'll head out to Roots and get this cute army tank top! OH! And I have these jeans from Roots and they are a size 14, and I can *almost* do them up! I am on cloud 9 right now! :)

Aimee--That's so exciting about the clothes! Woo hoo!! Go out and get yourself that tank top from Roots...you deserve it! :carrot:

I'm still waiting to get into some of my favorite jeans that fit me last summer when I lost some weight...

Aimee, that's awesome!

That is sooooo awesome!!! Way to go! I wish I could say that I have dropped that much in size! I have the odd pair of pants that are starting to "hang" a bit - but nothing I can really throw away yet! You should come over to my house and go shopping, I hate throwing stuff away :( haha
:dance:

As for the Condo, they put in an offer and the guy came back with a totally stupid counter offer - only 9k left. I told my parents it wasn't worth it for the price they wanted and I am trying to talk them into finding me a house instead. As much as I don't want the work of a house I want the freedom of the house. At these condos I was not allowed a pets (fish, birds, and cats only) and no kids under 16. I was thinking, I am only 20 but what happens if I get pregnent or in a couple years my boyfriend and I want kids? Then we would have to move even if we didn't want to. Plus if we did move there are strict rules about renting the condos out. So I just told them if they can't get one cheap enouf don't bother. A house within walking distance to their house would be nice - and there is one! haha so we shall see! I also thinking I want a new MUCH BIGGER fish tank, and so condos have size restrictions, least that would save me money tho...

I knew losing 6# in 5 weeks was going to be a challenge, but now I'm thinking it's near impossible. I just got over a plateau a couple of weeks ago losing 3#, but the last two weeks - nada. I *think* I'm eating the same and I am exercising more, but the same quarter pound wants to go up and down on me!
So nothing lost, still in there with you though!

So I ended up losing a total of 2.5 pounds this weekend. But then last night I went over to my grandmother's house to drop off something and she had made mexican food just for me so of course I ate it, and lots of it. I felt like a pregnant woman. I woke up this morning 3 pounds heavier. I know/hope that it's temporary and the food just needs to work it's way through my system, but it still sucks. That mexican food sticks to you.
