ok I am going to keep posting here anyway, maybe someone will join me.  I'm only 4 days in from being back on the wagon so I'm only down .2 from my start date on Monday.

Okay I am down 2 this week so I feel much better.  I am about 10 lbs away from my goal.  Next weekend I am going on a trip for the holiday so the next week I'm going to try to be really good.

Wow, I am shocked.  I am down -.6 and I didn't even try!   That is the first time the scale has gone down in quite a number of weeks so that's encouraging.  Last weekend I spent at a resort with lots of eating and drinking pina coladas.

amseek, I know how you feel.  I can't run anymore either so I walk on the treadmill on an incline instead.  I hate that it takes longer to do my three miles.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I'm back.  I basically had a 3 week hiatus since I was on doctors orders not to work out.  I proceeded to eat whatever I wanted and now I am + 3 for the 3 weeks.  The party is over.

I've been released from the doctor so let's start again, shall we?  I'm not letting a measly 3 lbs get me down.

2624 you are doing great!  I found your 3 lbs, hahaha!  I bet you can make your goal.  Is something happpening on August 20?

I'm off to a company event over the weekend at a resort so wish me luck.  I am bringing workout clothes and plan to use them!!

I didn't show up here on Friday because I was too depressed.  On Wednesday I went to the doc and I have tendonitis in my knee and I cannot exercise for at least 3 weeks!  So I have to watch what I eat really carefully but instead I was bummed and binged on everything.  Friday officially I was up +2 but this being Monday I am the same I was as last Monday which is -1 from Friday. 

Ack, I know that probably didn't make sense, but the gist of it is, I am going to try harder this week.  I need to stick to my intake and I'm going to the gym to do upper body. 

I am so jealous!  I am down -.6, but I'm at the same weight I was a month ago.

You did awesome, I only worked out on Monday and I hurt my knee and after that I didn't try very hard.  Ugh.  I really have to get back on on track.

Good for you 2624 you were very disciplined this week!

I'm late today but I'm here.  Down 1.6 but I didn't have any dinner last night so its not really a good comparison to last week.  I'll check again tomorrow.

Congrats everyone!  All had a good week.

HANG IN THERE! 1 pound is okay-- you can get that off in no time! 

I'm -2 this week to 128.8.  My goal is 120 but I can already tell I'll need to lose about 5 more than that.  I have more than 8 lbs hanging on that could go.  

And whatever you do, don't smile in the "before" ad.

I know a lot of girls that like football.  I even like it a little bit.  :)

Healthe' Trim has something going on with the radio stations because every station personality here locally is on it (or says they are) and they all do the commercials, say they lost 20 lbs in 5 days, and even have a link to buy it on their website.  When I Googled it, I got a hit on a radio station that was advertising it and had testimonials by their DJs too.

I am going to have to try that diva trick next time! 

My tip is I always carry healthy snacks.   I get very anxious about food while traveling.  What if I get stuck in an airport for who knows how long?  What food will be available whenever I get to where I'm going?   Having some healthy options with me takes the edge off.

I just got back from an overnight trip and I had Kashi granola bars, turkey jerky, and an apple with me.  I knew I had a suite with a microwave and refrigerator so I brought my own pre-measured oatmeal for breakfast and some microwave popcorn in case I wanted a snack in the evening.  I was glad that I had my oatmeal because the free breaky provided by the hotel had nothing healthy on it. 

Sometimes I eat one of my healthy snacks before going out to dinner with everyone and that keeps me from being ravenous and eating the bread on the table or overeating when my entree comes.

And ALWAYS travel with workout clothes.  If there is nowhere to walk, no fitness center, no pool or anything, you can always use the stairway as your stairmaster.

Hi there and welcome!  I grew up in the Mountain State and my folks live in Charleston.

I second kawnd11, use the tools on the site to find out how many calories you should eat to lose and log everything on here to keep track.  There is a lot of support here. 

When I was there, I had a backpack and in the morning would stop at a shop and got a baguette with ham and cheese, a pastry, a bottle of water.   Stash it in the backpack and spend the day walking around (also you will want to master the subway/train.  Once you have that down, you can go anywhere!)

Anyway, whenever I got hungry for lunch, I would plop down and have lunch out of my backpack.  Once I ate on the grounds at Versailles.  Once I ate in the beautiful rose garden of the Rodin Museum.  This museum is a must-see in my book.  The Thinker is there and it has a lot of outdoor sculptures, it's not really "museumy". 

Trust me, the baguettes are not "just a roll". If you love bread, you will die when you taste them.   I have yet to find anything in the states that even came close to what I had in Paris. 

And I'm not ashamed to say my eyes welled up when I stepped into Notre Dame.  It was sooo beautiful!

Thank you!  I figured the bun was a lot.

Congrats 2624!  That is awesome!

I am the same this week.  No gain/no loss.  However, I went out for Mexican food twice and also indulged in drinking so I don't mind. 

However, I did figure out that since my scale only weighs in .5 increments, it always rounds up!  So I am gonna get a new scale, I want credit for every ounce. heee heeeee

I am .5 away from the 20 lb mark.  I was hoping to get there this week, but maybe next week.

I buy a big bag too, and mine says 110 for 4 oz.
