Ok, I have a plan now for myself. I am really bad at snacking at night time (between dinner and bedtime). If I do cross-stitch, my hands are occupied and I can't exactly eat anything while I'm doing it. Plus I went ice skating with my kids yesterday. My son is just learning, so I had to hold him up. Lifting 40lbs for an hour...there's a workout. :) Boy are my arms sore today.

Week 1: 158 (Starting weight) (1/13)

Week 2: 157 (1/19)

Week 3: 156 (1/26)

I'd like to join too please.

I'm 32, 5'4" and currently 158lbs. I started on CC in June 2008 at 185lbs and even reached 154 the day after Christmas. But I have pretty much been stalled between 158 and 155 since last October. I have been off the calorie counting wagon for a couple of months now and really need to get back on. It's been all the holiday treats, and the cold weather that have been hampering my progress. My ultimate goal is to be a healthy 135.

My son is the same way with the whole sensitive gag reflex. He really goes for the spaghetti squash. I baked the squash, scraped it out with a fork, put some pasta sauce on top. It's good for us adults too. :)

A little late posting my weight but it was Thanksgiving yesterday (in Canada). I was busy making the whole turkey dinner. Yumm!

Thanks for making this group Sexycoolaries!

I have lost 25 lbs since the beginning of my weight loss journey --June 08. Man, did it ever com off easy. But now I seem to have stopped at 160. I think I just have to step it up a bit more...mostly getting more exercise.

@ sexycoolaries: I think the amount of exercise you are doing is great. I wish I had that dedication. I would think that you would need to up your calorie intake to make up for the huge amount you are burning, or else you might be stepping into the starvation mode side of things. Just do a little calculation to check your numbers.

If you're too low, try adding some more good fats to your diet, like avocado or peanut butter.

Go Yellow Go ..we can do it!

Edited: To remove my faulty math.

I have to refind my motivation...need to get up off my butt this week.  But again, at least I'm not gaining.

Kinda fell off the wagon a bit. Wasn't even counting calories for a few days, ugh. At least the weight didn't go up. Part of me thinks that I need a break, after all I did just lose 25 lbs. But then again I have at least 25 more to go.

Starting anew today...back on track.

Not bad since I totally slacked off this week. Too much takeout and treats. I even went out for dinner over the weekend with my friends and ate lusciously (seafood pasta, and a piece of cheesecake). But back on track this week. :)

I even saw 160 on the scale yesterday, but as of this morning it read 161 so I will put it as that today.

To almdennis: Glad you came over to the group too. It's nice to see some familiar 'faces'. :D The Labor Day Challenge was very helpful for me. Looks like you did awesome on that challenge too, congrats!
