Hi everyone! Just a short post from me right now. I am not going to meetings either. I would if there were a leader around here worth listening to, but there isn't. I have had horrible experiences with them here.

Well I weighed in this morning. This is what I get from peeking yesterday! Yesterday I was at 205.2 and this morning I went up .6? I was 205.8. I'll still take the loss (-2.6). I was bad last night, after being so good all week and I'm upset with myself about that, but no more time to post... be back later.

Good morning all. GUESS WHAT. I'm down 6.6 pounds from last week!!!!!!!!!

I have to admit, I was miserable most of the time. I'm doing a combo South Beach Diet / Weight Watchers. And for the first two weeks, there are NO CARBS. Nothing. And I LOVE LOVE carbs. I even had dreams about carbs.

But for 6.6 pounds, WELL worth it. I now only have 13.4 pounds to lose for the wedding day in April and I feel like I can do it!!!

Lori.... hide the scale. You can have a +/- 4 pounds in a day range. Just weigh yourself once a week at the same time of the day. I weigh myself Tuesday mornings and then at WW meeting on Tuesdays. Or else, it'll literally drive you nuts!!!!!!

Congrats!! 6 lbs is a lot!! Way to go. My mom is doing the first week of the SBD and shes struggling. I will tell her about your weight loss and it might motivate her to keep going!

The scale is a crazy thing for me too..... in a matter of 2 days I went up 6 lbs and then down 3 and then down another 2.... I'm just weighing in once a week now.. and TRYING not to peek. Maybe we could make a weekly thread for weigh ins... cuz there seems to be a lot of us not going to meetings. My leader was great but I just cant afford it right now... Maybe I will get back there sometime but it seems like a cycle of restarting over and over.

Does anyone have a good recipe for a lentil soup? I browsed the recipe threads but didnt come across one where I had all the ingredients. Im looking for something with low points.

Thanks... have a great day everyone!!

Hi Everyone,

Woke up with a headache this morning and can't seem to shake it. Can't get myself motivated to do anything. I think I will opt out of the gym today and just take the dog for an extra walk. The fresh air will hopefully help.

I am a scale addict when I'm dieting/lifestyle changing. It is the only thing that keeps me OP. I have to weigh in every day (I know bad bad), but it keeps me accountable.

Have a great day all!

Good afternoon!! It looks like we're going to be getting some more wonderful winter weather here in Nebraska. We had a TON of snow last week, and we're looking at ice this week. I wish it were spring...

I had an OK eating day yesterday, right up until bedtime. I was reading for a few minutes before bed and realized that I still had a few brownies left from Saturday's junk food binge. So, I got them, poured a great big glass of milk, and pigged out. I HATE when I do stuff like that. At least those evil things are out of the house now.

Despite being filled with regret from last night, today is proving to be a good day. I even brought my Y bag to work. Of course, that doesn't mean that I'm going to go, but hopefully between now and 4, I can talk myself into it. It's only 1/2 hour on a treadmill...

I'm not going to meetings, either. I don't want to go back unless I can actually lose some weight. It gets a little bit embarassing going back, losing for the first two weeks, gaining, and then quitting. I've done that three times now.

Lori--I had a bad experience with my first WW leader. Ironically, that was the one that I lost the most weight under, but the meetings just SUCKED. I hate to pay to go to a meeting where I feel like they should be paying me to be there, ya know? I agree with Lisa--hide your scale. Weighing more than once a week is really, really misleading and puts you on a roller coaster with the normal fluctuations of your body. Put that wicked addictive contraption away.

Lisa--CONGRATS on your great big loss! I'm glad that SBD is working so well for you! Can you believe you're already 1/3 of the way to where you want to be for the wedding? That's AWESOME!!

Silverain--I think that doing a weekly weigh in thread is a great idea! I might have a recipe for lentil soup, I'll check tonight. I'll check the points on it, too.

Wenwella--Even with a headache, you're going to get some exercise. Good girl. I don't have anything ailing me, and I'm still trying to talk myself into working out. Hope the fresh air helps!

OK, ladies, I gotta get some work done. See ya!

Jess!! Thanks girl. Hey .... here's a little Y motivation... GO TO THE Y!!!! Just think warm weather and bathing suits... now get your bum to the Y! And boy does brownies and milk sound good!!!!!

Samira - I'm in for a weekly weigh in thread.

Wenwella... have a great walk. I'm guess it's cold up there, so I'm impressed your venturing outside!!!
