Today is a new day and a new week and after all that I still lost so heres to another great week for all of us! And to get us going TBL is on tonight! Can't wait to hear from you all! And welcome back stacynak! WTG Hope u start feeling better!
I am going to readjust my halloween goal so I am not so sad when I look at my tracker and to remotivate myself I want to lose 5 pounds before halloween

Sarah--I hope you are able to find your way back on pogram and find a loss soon.

Hildy--Sorry to hear you lost a patient. Having worked in doctor's offices most I my life I know how close the nurse-patient relationship is. Glad to hear you have lost even thou it was a tough week. Glad to see you have a new attitude. I feel like you do TBL is a great movitating tool. But none of the gals are as heavy as I am...but if they can do it I can too.

Hope it is okay for me to join in late. I am going to try and lose 5 lbs by Halloween.

It's never too late to start a challegne. OH well maybe trying to start it on October 30 would be a little too late.

Hildy – it sounds like you’ve had a tough week, but congrats on the loss.

Welcome, bumblebee. I’m sure you can see a nice loss before Halloween. What’s your goal?

I’ve had a terrible week, eating-wise. It was Canadian Thanksgiving and I ate way too much. My home scale is still showing me down a pound (I did play soccer and ran for almost an hour Sunday night), but I just seem hungry all the time this week. It’s driving me nuts. I’m hoping to at least do better today and tomorrow in advance of my weigh-in on Friday. Some days it seems so easy and other days it’s like torture… ugh.

Welcome bumblebee!
MIchele keep your chin up you can accomplish so much in two days! Whenever you have a bad day just track and forget it....just remember the next time you are having a battle how you felt when you gave in the last time and ask yourself if it is really worth it! No biggy having a bad week doesn't mean having a bad month! You are still of to a fantastic start! I notice you and I are the same height and you started just under whart I did...some motivation look at my before and after pics....it only took 6 months to see that much change! Keep your eye on the prize!

The weather is a huge factor for me this week. The cold and now snow today makes me feel like I should be eating comfort food and not healthy salads and green stuff. I need to look up some filling soups that will help me through the comfort yearnings.

We have 20 days until Halloween - we can do it. WI today and I'll see how much closer I am to my Halloween goal

Hey everyone-
My goal is to be 167 by halloween!
I am working out for one hour every and eating less than 1500 cals a day (at least trying to)!

Thanks for your words of support, Hildy! I've done pretty well at atoning for my food mistakes by doing a lot of exercise, and I was down 1.5 lbs at my weigh-in today, which means I'm down 10 lbs in total. Woo! I'm not sure if I'll make 15 lbs for my Halloween goal, but I'm willing to give it a good try.

Unfortunately, my work blocks out picture sites, so I can't check them out - I'll have to do that later. You've come a long way! I've lost 50 lbs before, so I can check out my own pictures from 5 years ago to know how much better I'll look and feel.

Congrats to everyone for their losses. I weigh in on Sunday but had a sneak peek this morning. I am doing well. I meant my Halloween goal last Sunday. Everything now is just an added bonus. Yesterday I was as sick as can be. No exercise yesterday....all I did is lay in bed. Much much better today. Still am not going to get on the treadmill....maybe tomorrow. I had to break down today and turn the heat on. I have been putting it off but it was 60 degrees in here this morning.

Hi All....Just cleaned everything up from DD's 14th birthday family party. All went well, even the evil MIL was on on her best behavior! Unfortunately, I know I ate more points than I should have. Didn't binge or stuff myself, but somehow after doing weight watchers for a couple months you just sort of know, huh? Ah, well, the scale will tell tomorrow! I'm a Saturday weigh in baby, so we'll see! Hopefully, it's TOO SOON to show the damage! HA!

UGH! Damage recorded from DD's bday party! Down 1 pound for the week, and I know I was on target and on plan the rest of the week, so this shows just what one night can do! Time to FOCUS on this week! Good luck to all of you that still need to weigh in.....I'm sending you happy scale wishes!

One pound loss is better than a one poung gain. I am weighing in tomorrow morning. Only time will tell waht I did.

Happy Dance time....I lost another 5 pounds this week. That makes for a total of 20. :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

Way to go, Chris!!! That is AWESOME!! And you're absolutely correct, a pound lost is better than a pound gained any day!!
