Yay click! Seeing that scale move is such a positive boost.

Well, I've been pretty off track for the last 24 hours. I went ou to dinner at a tex mex place last night - ate nachos, shrimp fajitas and too many chips.

Then today I had a big fat greasy hamburger at my DD's softball game!

I actually think I stayed on program - I had 12 pts for dinner last night, 8 points for the burger, and 30 flex points. But I feel like I pigged out. And ya know, neither one was really that good!

I felt so sick after eating all that mexican food last night - my body was telling me that I need to cut that out!

I'm going to go get some exercise in now - try and burn off some of those calories.

Next weekend will be tough too - a frozen drinks and dinner party friday night, a barbecue with family saturday and a mother's day luncheon Sunday. I guess I have to be really careful all week and figure that this is a week to focus on maintaining and not gaining.

I have been terrible the last week. Well, not like pigging out every day but I have not been keeping track. I just kinda burnt out on counting calories- it was making me obsess over food.

But I'm down another pound so I guess I'm doing OK. Probably because I am not skipping any workouts.

All I want to do is eat!!!! I finally moved the scale after weeks of struggling!!!! I went from 197.4 to 189!!! I'm not even hungry....I just want to eat!!!!!!!!!

Lovingme- I get like that sometimes. where I am not hungry but feel the urge to stuff my face. It's usually when I am bored or upset. I try to distract myself. Take a walk, clean my apartment, come on SI.

Cleaning works best. You can tell when I am having a rough week for cravings and binge urges because my apartment is SPOTLESS.

I am not an emotional eater. I don't eat when I'm bored, upset, angy, etc. quite the opposite. I am, however, the biggest mindless eater out there. I 'll be cramming stuff in without realizing I'm doing it. After baby's lunch, if there's 2 squares left of her PB&J, I automatically eat them. Stop by the fridge to get a drink? Grab a pickle. All the "tasting" and "testing" while I prepare family meals. It really adds up over the course of a day. Or week. Or month.

doing the jiggy dance <>..I lost 4.5.lbs for the week! A total of 9 lbs so far...

Yay, click! I haven't lost an ounce in months. I have been getting out there exercsisng every single day, no exceptions. And strength training at least 4 days a week, usually five. But my dietary habits have been sinking, sinking, sinking...

Thanks ann. Are you already near your goal weight? That could be why. I am still overweight and just starting which is why I have lost.

oooh, I've not been doing well. I was good all day - ate well, walked, had a decent dinner. Then I ate a package of cheddar bunnies. Then 9 graham crackers. I think it was 9.

Ick! I need to get back on track. The last week has been bad and I've gained back a pound or two.

click, I'm proud of you. I guess my weight is "ideal"---I just feel better physically and mentally when I stick to a mapped out eating plan. And the last week or so I haven't been. I don't weigh myself really, but I can feel the diffence, KWIM? How my clothes fit and how I look in the mirror.

Broken, I feel ya, honey. I'm not even gonna post what I ate tonight.

Just lost another 1.5 this week. Lost 1.5 last week which was pretty good considering I had a trip to NYC in there.

I am writing about this because prior to these losses, I was not eating as I should. I didn't gain - but I didn't lose. And I didn't like the way I felt.

So for those who don't feel like their eating is on track - let's get back on track. I've been trying some WW recipes from their website and some are downright yummy. If anyone wants me to post them - let me know!!!

Remember - this is a long term life committment!!!

Click - way to go with 9lbs!!!

Now I know why men lose weight faster than women...

they dont' have to deal with once a month bloating and salt cravings.

Plus they have more muscle.

Everyone is doing great here and ya'll are an inspiration. Keep it up!

Gross dieting question...

did anyone else become constipated once they started dieting? I hardly "go" anymore, even though I'm walking almost every day. What's the deal? Not enough water? Or has my metabolism really slowed down??

Your body is probably just adjusting to the dietary change. Try taking fiber for a few days to see if you get it jump started.

I have been doing very badly. I'm sabotaging my diet. I am MAKING myself get back on tomorrow. I let being sick and all of the emotional turmoil in my life run me down emotionally and I'm trying to get back on track. I'm positively starting back up tomorrow. I'm not doing it for the diet...it's the lifestyle change that I want. I want to be better to myself and not sabotage myself when I'm feeling down. I'm still run down with this sinus stuff. I was sick for ten days, then better for about two weeks and then sick again for a week. I'm never sick and I'm still battling sinus stuff and it's got me wiped. I am a wimp, the medicines that make me feel better in the sinuses make me feel so wiped out that I cannot function.

I am going to be here with you guys again starting tomorrow. I promise to myself that I will be good to myself and get moving again. I'm up four pounds but I won't let it deter me...I'm going to get it back off. My new clothes still fit and I'm going to get back to being well again.

I'm glad to see everyone else is still taking steps forward to take care of themselves. That's what this was all about to begin with and we're all still in it for the long haul.

I'm back and strong !!!!!

Click, it's pretty common. Make sure you are getting plenty of fiber, plenty of water and at least 2 tsps worth of "healthy oils" (olive, canola, safflower, or peanut.) Your body will adjust but it's uncomfortable waiting.

sw, so happy to see you hear. I've been thinking about you - you ARE strong and determined and I have no doubt that you are going to keep making positive changes.

Hi everyone! I had a good day today. I didn't eat all the healthy stuff I'm supposed to, but I had a much better day on track than I've had all week. No carb binging today, and stayed on target with points/ calories.

I walked today - I've been walking during lunch everyday at work.

So, my psa for today - even when you fall off track, you CAN get back on!

Okay, my first follow-up check-in since slinking in with my head bowed about three weeks ago.

Drum roll please........

7 1/2 pounds down.

Woo hoo!
