actually nope dont hve bad days in the beginning it was off and on with dieting trying atkins and sugar busters and weight watchers on my own since i had been before and had the stuff i knew what to do without the meetings then I rejoined the meetings the weight was coming off but, then my husbands father passed away rather unexpectedly while we were there to visit its a long story we stayed with some friends of his so it was impossible for the month that we were there to stay on plan when we got back home i was back on plan and have been since april. my son is 20 1/2 months old so you could take off bout 3 months which would in that time frame cover his first 6 weeks when they say dont diet especially since I was trying to bf him and then the time we spent in arkansas when his dad passed so i guess you could say its taken me 17 1/2 months so far to lose that weight that i have i stay on plan even during the holidays workout everyday atleast an hour or more and drink the water so im very strict with my change in life but, i want to see my lil boy grow up if you really work this plan you can lose that weight we all can

HUntersmommy you ar doing great. I hope I can get the mind set you have.Congratulations and I will do my best at staying focused. Off to fill up my water.

Good Morning All! We are off to our family party here shortly. NSV I love my new outfit I'm wearing and I look fabulous in it! I plan to stay on plan today! No excuses for go off and eating whatever! I will be checking back in with you all after the party.

djmommy you are doing great. I just look at my lil guy everyday and think about how i want to be there for him to grow up and its all worth all the hard work. i just got done doing an hour workout fixing to call it an evening very soon. tomorrow is my off day for working out .

Well I survived the family party! It was as I expected, my aunts made a big deal about my weight loss, and my mom had obviously done some "mom bragging" about me working out "all the time." I tried to really make light of it and change the subject when it came up. Not that I'm not proud of myself for committing to working out and getting healthy and fit. It's just that I hate being praised in front of my cousins who all struggle with their weight, and are very heavy. It just makes my aunts love feel so conditional. If any of this makes sense. I'm just glad the party is over and I don't have to see them for a few months!

Christmas weigh in- I usually weigh in on Thursdays. I will weigh myself again Christmas morning though. That will force me to be very strict with myself Christmas eve at my sil's.

michelle,
im sorry you had to subjected to that. I truly feel for you. Glad you dont have to see them for a few months. I think families should always love one another no matter what you weigh and not make others feel bad about what they do weigh. BIG HUGS.
You are doing a great job

we can do this girls.

hmmm....not sure what happened to my morning's post but......

Hey girls. My car needed an unexpected service today and so I didn't make it to the gym. I did HOWEVER pop a WATP's tape in and did the 3 mile version. YEAH...for me!! I thought there is no way I'm going to miss working out at SOMETHING. Turns out I burned 450 calories. So that is something.

Angie....Good luck with weigh in tommorow. Mine was today and showed a .5 lb loss. I have TOM visiting tommorow while I am at the dentist. NOW that sounds like alot of fun eh?

Michelle.......Family get togethers can be soooo frustrating. Sounds like you did an awesome job coping (in your new outfit nonetheless!!!)

angel eyes yuck to going to the dentist one of my least favorite things to do and yup that time of the month really effects are weight loss efforts .. I told my mom earlier i feel like i'm busting my tale and getting great workouts in and the scale just doesnt want to move this week even with the water and staying on plan. my TOM has a mind of its own some months I have one some months I dont its always a surprise when it does show up I have pcos makes life so much fun.

Anyways girls just wanted to say you are all doing great. I'm getting ready to start working on my class on line so talk to you all tomorrow after weigh in

WHOOO so far no leg pain. I think I may even do some sit ups tonight.Good luck.

Quick post to say Thank Goodness Monday Is OVER! I stayed on plan today, but I was certainly crabby by the end of work.

Good luck to those who are weighing in tomorrow!
