Hello Ladies. I just wanted to check in.

This weekend I did well with a combo of Jenny food and grocery store food (once you reach half way its time to start incorporating outside foods).

I started this challenge at 198.2 on my home scale.
Today I weighed in (at home) at 196.0 !!!!!

Have been verygood with water since my last post.
Also, did LOTS of heavy yardwork over the weekend - it really got my muscles burning extra calories. Lots of lifting...
My work week is really easy - I bring lunch and snacks. Last night we went for a treat at Chipotle! Feels like cheating, but if you look in your dining out book you will find the best choices to make.

Due to schedule conflicts I am weighing in at night tonight :-( so the wieght won't look as good. However, next week I will be back to morning weigh in.

Have a great week everyone!

KAT - make sure that you take LOTS of fruit and veggies for your weekend. Also, allow your self a smal indulgence every day. That way you wont slide into a binge! Lite Beer or a wine with a small glass is a good way to measure if adult bevs are part of your weekend.
And don't forget - have fun!

Hi everyone! Welcome lolagirl. Thanks for the guidance WeaselMama -I see my consultant for the second time Saturday so I hope it goes okay. My week's been work crazy and yesterday I was lazy when I got home. But today I worked out and am doing alright with food and water. Kat -- have a great time when you go away this weekend!

It's almost summer and we are going to look good in our summer clothes! WE CAN DO THIS!

Hello ladies!!

I weighed in today at 212.6. A loss is a loss. I know I did everything right and I just have to accept that I lose slower now. As long as it all comes off, right?

I'm packed and ready to go to the cottage. This will be my last time posting until I get back which is next week Friday. I hope you all have an amazing week and stay strong!

Welcome Lolagirl!! Glad you could join us!

Thank you Weaselmama and Jacqueline for the tips while I'm away. I am so determined to keep on going. I don't care what kind of temptations will be there. I have to realize that they will be around no matter where I am. I have to "think" before I do and think whether or not it would even be worth it. I will concentrate on everything else. My family, my friends, my most favorite part of the night where I sit on the porch in darkness, listening to the crickets and frogs and the waves....this is where I do all my reflecting

See you guys when I get back!

Thanks for the warm welcome ladies!

K8B- I'm not sure where you are heading to the cabin but it sounds amazing. I too spend a week every year with my family at a lake house and my I love being the first one up out on the dock watching the sunrise with my hot mug of coffee as well as at night listening to the waves and the noises of nature. Water is my favorite element and something about it always, no matter if its a lake, ocean, river, or stream, always puts me at ease and makes me focus on all the wonderful things we have in our lives. Something that I so easily forget when I am back to the daily grind and city living. I hope you have a wonderful time away and believe in yourself to make healthy and mindful choices everyday!

I hope everyone else is having a good week and is looking forward to the weekend. I know I am. I have a great friend coming to town and we have a very active weekend plan that also involves wine and delish food, but again its about focusing on time with my friend.

What does everyone else have on the agenda?

Hey everyone. Had my first Thursday WI since I changed the WI day! I didn't do too bad being off my meal plan for part of the week, but glad to have my JC foods back. So I have lost 1 pound since my last WI.

Great job BarbaraCakes! I hope everyone else is doing well this week. I had my second meeting with my consultant this morning - this one was better. I think last week she was just pressed for time. I lost 2 pounds this week. I'm happy with that. I need to work on my eating though so this week my focus is eating all of my fruits and veggies. WE CAN DO THIS!

[Erica 1980]

Hey all! I'm down a pound this week! Things are really crazy at work, but wanted to pop in and say hello! I'm proud of all of you!!!

[lolagirl]

Good Morning!

Hope everyone is having a good week. I just wanted to report I weighed in at 151.2 this morning! Yippee. Here's to staying mindful and on track through my busy weekend ahead full of traveling with my best friends, yummy food and some wine. I have a plan in place to always remember to be mindful of my portions while at the same time enjoying myself. Does anyone else have big holiday weekend plans that will involve traveling and/or more food and drink than normal?

Hi everyone! Congratulations lolagirl and Erica - great work! I gained 2 ounces this week. I was expecting that because I went on an emotional/stress eating spree this week. Gaining has actually pulled me back to reality so it's good that my binging wasn't rewarded with a weight loss. One more week until June 3. I'm going to aim for a fully on plan week so I can make our 10 pounds down goal. Good luck on the home stretch everyone.
WE CAN DO IT!

Hello Again!!! :-)

I had my WI on Thursday, the 26th.... I am down another 1.6 pounds. Hoping this next WI will be just as good if not better :-).

[BarbaraCakes]

I weighed in yesterday for the end of this challenge and I am down another 3 pounds. I didnt quite make goal but very close!

[Healthier each day]

Congratulations Barbaracakes! Great job! I weigh in tomorrow -- I'll check back in then.

Hello everyone! Just got back from WI - total lost was 8.6 pounds during our challenge (1.5 this week). Not quite goal but I am closer to fitting into my favorite jeans than I was a month ago. Thanks for the inspiration everyone!
