And that's why I love CC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Everything was said!!  I totaly agree and you should just try that.  Put it this way:  Since you already don't eat enough during the day is going to be easy for you to have only two meals and then the Ensure on top where is difficult to eat 3 good meals and at least 2 good snacks during a day.  Sorry but you really have to try the hard way to see results.  Same thing when somebody is trying to lose has to go with the hard way and eat right, you should start and try eat more and right.

To my experience and knowledge is ok to exercise everyday even if your muscles are sore.  Soreness is good-means that you put your muscles to work  Check if the DVD you got has any other workout program that targets other muscles than butt and thighs.  Maybe work on your upper body and abs more today.  But don't worry about the pain.  Unless is join pain and you should really be very carefull,  any other is a good thing.  Also don't forget to warm up before and strech after your workouts.  Good for you!!  Keep it up

I was not able to weight myself yesterday so I am posting today instead.  128.2 today.  Not a big difference but I had an extreme cheeting night on Tuesday and messed up everything.  I guess these things happen though that's why we're all here.  Talk to you next week

I have joined already but I forgot to come in on the 1st and enter my starting weight.  So here it is:

SW:128.6

Awesome.  I am very happy to be in a group challenge.

I was so happy when I saw this topic.  I've come accross the same problem.  I have 20 lbs to lose and after 5 lbs loss the first 2 weeks I have hit plataeu this last week.  I am also seeing a nutritionist only for that reason.  I was always starting dieting on my own and wanted to lose 5 lbs a week or some ridiculous amounts and ofcourse after the first few weeks that my body would starve or after a regular dinner (not even overeating) my weight would bounce back and I used to get so discouraged that I was always stopping my efforts.  Now the nutritionist yells at me when she sees on my food log that some day I haven't eaten as much or that I have used coffee as snack when the afternoon hungries hit.  She has told me to eat every time I'm hungry but always the right portions.  Is good that the body is asking for food and we should give some to it but not in a form of chocolate or frappucinos or cookies.  Anyway, my point is that I am going through a plateau right now and I do get discouraged a little but I won't give up this time.  I have my next appointment in 3 weeks and she also wants me to lose no more than 2 lbs by then.  Oh yes, is a long process but the results are worth every second and every craving of the world.  Congratulations to all of you for how far have come.  Keep it up

I'm not doing great great but not bad either.  I had too many parties this weekend (again, arg) and ate a lot.  I have to say I controled myself many times and I would have done so much worse but for all the food that was going on I did OK.

Friday I went to my sister's in law and the whole family was there of course and had a big celebration so ate salad and then destroyed it with cake and sweets over coffee.  Saturday I had a pool party at the other cousins house and had catered food so I had chicken parm and penne with vodka sauce.  I have to say I so enjoyed it.  I didn't have that kind of food for the longest time.  I ate a little less but I had both, plus two beers, a mike's hard lemonade a piece of ice cream cake and a piece of apple pie.  Wow when I have to list everything looks a lot.  Anyway, yesterday my husband wanted to go for breakfast out (second Sunday in a raw) and had an egg white omelette with everything and ketchup on top (I love ketchup with my eggs) and then to my in-laws for luch where I didn't eat too much but later I with coffee I had fruit salad and around 10 pm before bed two huge bowls of salad with light italian dressing.  Unfortunately my weekends are all about food and I love it.  I wish I could say no some times but I'm not that kind of person.  Hope everybody is doing good and definetely better than me. See you!

Oh yeah, there is the Bodies exchibition here in NY too.  I wanted to go with my husband but we haven't gotten the chance yet.  Is true that all bodies are from real people and specifically they're all from Asian people.  Some organization or something like that donated them.  I also read a couple of stories from people and specially (ex-) smokers like me that after they saw the size of the lungs and other organs made them quit smoking etc.  I should really visit this thing.  So have a lot of fun and I hope is not too gross! 

Good morning!  I am sorry I haven't update my weight and I haven't really post anything lately but I had some emotional "situation" and I binged from Wednesday all the way through Saturday.  Unfortunatelly I am an emotional eater and I can't control myself when something in my life is going totaly wrong and there is not much I could do.  Anyway I haven't gone on the scale either but I know that I have gained a bit.  I got better yesterday but after all the excess eating I am so bloated that is not even funny.  And I was doing so good...  I went to the gym though and let me tell you with all the food and the sweets I had so much energy to exercise!  I guess that was the only good out of the situation which is yet to be solved.  Anyway I am kind back on track but not really.  Yesterday i did better but that was because I started an old bad habit:  smoking.  I am strangling with those extra few lbs because I had quit smoking and I had replaced it with eating and yesterday I replaced the eating with smoking.  So I stayed in my calorie limit but I have to add a pack of nicotine.  Loser either way basically.  Which should I choose? 

Hello hkellick and everybody else.  I have to go (I'm at work) but I'll try to chat at luch time.  I saw the posts yesterday too but I didn't want to interfere (sorry my spelling).  I've been to Six Flags by the way-few years ago and I went crazy.  Was pretty cool.  I'll see you later.  Have fun!

Talk to you later!

Hello, hello!  Everybody is doing so great in this challenge!- except me of course.  Starbuck1123 I am sorry to hear that but I have the same exactly problem so I don't feel alone now.  I am so bloated and I can't go...(sorry for the too much info) - I do drink a lot of water and ate prety healthy yesterday and today.  I really really think was the Monday's lassagna.  My body is taking revenge now-is horrible.  I am also PMSing and my "girls" are huge and then you're talking about pregnant looking-you should see me.  I can't even breatha and my button on my shirt is about to pop.  Let's see how long is going to go....  Anyway I can already say that tomorrow the scale is not going to be kind to me but hopefully will make me try harder.  Talk to later. 

Same for me dohdan... I was 129  on Thursday and I won't weight myself until next Thursday.  I better wait a whole week to see the difference.  By the way I didn't weight myself for about a month.  I was eating like crazy and I got scared.  I finally went on the scale on Thursday so now I know where I'm standing....  Talk to you later
