Pretty surprised how easy it was NOT to overeat on Thanksgiving. (That may have had something to do with my sister's cooking. :P I luv her tho!)

Have really slowed down on losses.  Scale just won't budge no matter what I do.  Hope I can break out of it soon.

I haven't really tried anything for strength training yet . . . just walking, biking and aerobics.  Looking forward to giving it a try.

Good luck all! :)

Blah.  I've been between 162-166 for several weeks now.  It's very frustrating in a way . . . but in a way I think my body is just "getting used" to being this size.  I'm trying to keep my chin up and maintain . . . after all, my goal was to stay steady through the holidays and, so far, I seem to be doing that.  Thanksgiving was good.  I don't feel like I over indulged at all . . . I even skipped my mom's pie! :)  And it was nice that family members I haven't seen all summer noticed the loss and said I looked fantastic. 

I think the foods that surprise me most are the little things.  Like mayo on a sandwich, bacon bits on a baked potato, a few crackers with soup.  Those "little things" really add up.  It's taken quite a bit of reconditioning to get back to the basics and just leave the extra's off.  I haven't quite conquered my love of CHEESE, though I have switched to lighter versions for certain recipes.

AWESOME challenge Nikki - perfect timing! :)

Good luck everyone!

Really struggling to get the ounces off these last few weeks.  Definitely NOT going out this weekend.  The cardio challenge from BLC this week should help . . . I hope.  Ugh!

Hmmmm a goal for the next 10 weeks.

I've been tryin to get my weight under control for 3 years.  I do great over the summer and then gain over the winter.  235 lbs the first time I started, got down to around 180, then back up to 215 that winter.  The next summer down to about 165, back up to 205 over the winter.  Now I'm down again and I'd really like to just stay there.  Seeing 150 by the end of this Schmoozers would be awesome, but I don't know how realistic that would be with the holidays coming up.  So no loss goal this time around, I just want to stick with it and hang onto what I have so far . . . that would be 72 lbs and 31 inches gone!  If I lose more . . . well, that's just icing on the cake. :)

Best wishes to all for the next 10 weeks!

Well, my dancing took place tonight.  Hubby went to the store after dinner and I was finishing up the dishes.  I have a cd player in there and popped in one of my daughter's cd's.  I look like crap today, having worked on the storage room all day . . . messy pony tail, no make up, sweat shorts (that USED to be tight) and an old paint covered sweatshirt with bare feet.  Fergie's London Bridge came on so I cranked it up and danced my A** off!  I was shocked that when it was over I didn't have a stitch in my side and wanted to do it again . . . so I did! LOL

Sheesh I gotta do that more often! :p

TOM, tired . . . cranky . . . and going back to bed. :P

(Hub's weight now is 159 . . . 6 lbs to go, getting close to that mini goal.)

Way to go Lily!

There's going to be a BLC14 isn't there?  With winter coming I really need something to help keep me in line and this group has been really awesome!  I know it's probably alot of work to do all the planning and numbers . . . but I hope you (Nik or someone else if you don't want to) picks it up!

:)

When I leave the house, I no longer reach for the biggest, baggiest, most concealing sweatshirt I own.  ROAR!!!

When I see people doing something active that looks like fun, I don't just watch . . . I join.  ROAR!!!

When my hub gives me "the look" . . . I know why!  ROAR!!!

:P

When I first started this challenge, my goal was to lose 14 lbs and get to 166.  I picked that number because my hub weighed 167 at the time.  Unfortunately, he has lost weight too. (durnit)  So today I'm going to make him weigh again and see how much I really have to go to weigh less than him.  It's been a bad month for exercise, rainy and cold . . . but I've been watching those calories really closely and have been working like a dog around the house.  I guess that's been enough to keep me on the downward trend.

I've tried so many new foods since I started CC.  I think my favorite has to be Wasa.  I thought I wouldn't like it, but that CRUNCH! :)  I love it.  I've also been changing out all my high fat things for low fat or no fat substitutes.  Including butter, milk, salad dressings, sour cream, mayo . . . just about anything that has a lower fat version.  I don't miss it all.  I also gave yogurt and cottage cheese another shot.  Yeah, I still hate them. :P

Hope everyone has a great week!

P.S.  Congrats to CC!!  You go girl!! :)

Finally, the 160's.  When I checked my BMI (29.0) it told me I was "mildly" overweight, not "moderately" or "obese".  Funny how silly little things can make your day.  My hub told me yesterday that my pants look horrible and baggy.  That made me smile too. :P
