These past few weeks is when I've been complimented the most...Cracks me up, Did ppl not see it before?? I mean, I'm pretty much almost the same as I've been for a couple months, Did something shift in my body structure to make it more noticeable?? My own brother looked at me last weekend and said "have you lost alot of weight?" ....what do you say to that? "Yeah, I did...overnight too, can you believe it?"...haha....it's just funny how all of a sudden people pay attention and the compliments roll in, and I am not complaining at all!! Keeps me focused!
I was cracking up at morrigans comment too, that graph is great...I should make one, might make me really see the progress' peaks and vallesy, lol.
I did pretty well today, have a halloween party tomorrow night...will be the first big party night out in quite some time and not too sure how alcohol affects my loss/gain. We'll see I guess~

Before I forget Jennifer, the alcohol.........oh my!!! I ate really well all last week. I gained a pound. I drank on Saturday and Sunday. Here's a run down.....3 light beers, one rum and diet coke, something with half and half and Kahlua (I think), and two of these drinks called sunsets. THe sunsets had pineapple juice. I think that's a biggie. Anyway, hope you fare better than I did on the "juice."
Did not finish up so well
lunch subway ham no cheese only mustard, 6
small oreo blizzard AHHHHHhh I won't eve look it up.
dinner a VERY thin SMALL pork chop. I would say 1.5 -2 oz. minute rice and fresh green beans. It got ugly when I began to eat the rice from the serving bowl with my fork. I think I ate 1.5 cups. $&(#!!!!! Anyway, Oh and I had a glass of wine again with dinner. Have really needed and enjoyed it over the last two days. Just one glass with dinner.
Hi all...haven't been journaling the last week. PMSing, stressing, burning out, blah blah blah, whine whine whine. Just having an emotional, tough time. Do you other moms find that you wish sometimes that you could just be ALONE?!
I stayed the same this week when I weighed in, but so far I'm down 13. My Christmas goal is to lose another 13, so I need to get my butt back on track and start journaling again.
I swear I need to put an end to this "I'll start tomorrow again" attitude I've been having. My little bit of cheating is turning into full out right bad days. If I want to be 185 by Jan. 1st I'd better jump on that wagon and hold on tight.....
I quit weight watchers yesterday. I am not planning on quitting dieting, just the meetings. I also quit netflix, and called my ISP to cancel as well, but earthlink was really nice, gave me 2 months for free and cut my bill in half. I just need to have a few less bills each month. I am not ready to give up the gym, but am thinking about ditching my cell phone. Although the cell is really nice when I am skiiing because I can call people about where to meet. Most of the rest of the time I just rack up minutes when I don't really need to.
We got our first snow last night. Almost all melted now.
5- Breakfast: oatbran cereal with berries, creamer, 2 crackers, 1 date
Today was successful for me, although...I shouldn't boast yet, it's only 8pm
B: Slim fast-3pts
S: apple-1pt
L: Slim fast-3pts
S: apple-1pt
D: chicken, potato, corn 6pts
S: ice cream cone-5pts
So far, 19 out of 24pts.
5fruits/veggies, 4 milk, all my water....planning on some popcorn w/oil later so that'll bring me to 22/24 and my oils in too.
I was very busy at work, took the slim fast and apple with me and had left a slim fast and apple from Friday in the fridge. Lunch was catered, as usual and it was grinders (higher fat sub) and salad w/alot of no-no's on it. I opted to drink my shake and have my fruit again. I feel really good about my day. Hope to jump on my gazelle during The Bachelor, we'll see how my back holds out tonight.
Hi Buffalo, Morrigan, AJsmommy and everyone else! I just wanted to check in and let you know that I'm not dead and I haven't jumped of the WW wagon. Life has been really crazy the past few months and i haven't had much time to get on the computer. I'm still maintaining in my Lifetime status, weighing in once a month. I've actually dropped well below my goal weight now so I have a little wiggle room for the holidays. It's a great feeling!
I'm happy to see that you all are still working hard at getting healthy and staying fit. I've missed you ladies!
I have dropped off the face of the earth, but it is because my home computer now freezes up whenever it tries to load this website. Not doing to well on the dieting front. I keep meaning to "start over" tommorrow, but tommorow never comes.
You and me both Morrigan. What is it? Perhaps the length of time we've been doing this? I just don't know. I am still losing about every other week. I just bought ten more weeks at WW. I have to. I am down to 173 now. Of course I expect to see a loss on Tuesday because son and I have had a tummy bug. I may open up a thread and ask for support from anyone who has had a hard time re-focusing. We'll see.
So great to hear from Snowgal!!!! You are doing great Liz!!!! I bet you feel great too. Keep it up! Or down I guess I should say.
Hey there Morrigan. I am just sitting at my computer doing my transcribing. Thought I'd hop over and check 3FC.
Breakfast
oatmeal 3pts
lunch
two tostadas 5pts
ice cream 10pts!!! PMS!!!
No dinner yet. Will be having chili. Who knows how many points.
Looks like you are trying to count calories? How many a day are you shooting for? I have never counted calories. Let me know how that works for you if that is indeed what you are doing.
