Hello everyone!

This is my first challange i am really excited to start.   I could really use the help from everyone.  I am looking forward to meeting everyone!  I cant wait till june!

How's everybody doing? First weigh in is in two days! 

I'm doing really well so far.  Stopped by the school bookstore to pick up my textbooks for this semester, and walked right past the warm iced cinnamon rolls - despite the fact that today is perfect "cinnamon roll and hot cup of coffee" weather (cold, rainy and nasty).  I've been good with planning my day out each morning, and am always armed with some fruit or a small bag of nuts in case the munchies hit.
I'm done with classes for the day, and am enjoying a Brooklyn Lager as I post.  Hope everyone else is doing great!

I think I am doing pretty good as well, if I stay in my calorie range I am usually not hungry.  I have been finding ways to fill my time when i get home at night after dinner so I don't just eat out of boredom. 

 BTW: I quit smoking 9 months ago today!!

Hi guys,So far so good for me this week.  The scale is inching down, but I won't post anything official until Saturday morning.  I really really need this challenge.~waterwalker~ I know it's very frustrating to have your heart set on something only for it to crash, but I'll echo everyone else's encouragement to not let it get you down, there's probably something better out there.  Good for you for not binging and feeling even worse later.  When I get down, I usually resolve and plan to have a really big treat, even if it means I go over, and then stop.  That way it's not too much of a disaster and I get my comfort food and can get back on track.  This usually involves chocolate for me!  Anyway, we're rootin' for ya!

 Wow! Cold turkey?

Nevertheless congrats hun! keep it up 

  THANKS!

i love chocolate  :D  i have one tiny piece every night!  i didn't go to subway anyway.  we went to a nice, new restaurant instead & i had penne with sauce & smothered with mozzarella & a few rolls.  that was alot of calories anyway, but at least it was a really great treat!  we go to subway alot.

anyway, i'm doing good too...  i think...  we'll see at the weigh in!

i should be exercising though & i'm not!  i just can't seem to get motivated for like 3 days now...  oh well, maybe tomorrow

Hey everyone!  So far so good this week.  I'm nervous that it won't pay off on the scale on Saturday but hoping it will.  I have my sights on beach weather and looking better in a bathing suit.  My treat for my efforts will hopefully be a carribean vacation!  Good luck everyone.

Ugh! I'm not doing the exercise yet either.  I have been a little in the dumps.  I keep thinking the next day will be better.  Maybe I will start with exercise tomorrow morning, then I will have done that and maybe it will help my mood.

I'm doing good on the calories and eating so far.  I think I can at least do that for now.  I do feel a little better since starting to eat right.

just try to get any sort of exercise in your day. any.. even a brisk 10 minute walk will do. it's a great way to start the mornings, because then you have the whole day ahead of you. I'm so glad i started this challenge. it was really the motivator i need to stop the binge-eating. I have not binge-ate since last saturday. over-indulged, maybe yes, but its a whole step up from the binge-eating. I've been at or under my calorie-intake since last saturday. wooh. thank you guys!

 Thanks so much for your support.  Great advise Twinmamma. Today's was really hard. But I didn't binge. I vegged and cried my eyes out for most of the day. Then I went to my prayer group cried and vented some more. We went to the Cheesecake Factory aftewards. But I was okay. We ordered a few appetiziers and I ate only a few bites just enough to be satisifed. Everyone was really supportive of me. I am feeling good about that. I am a little nervous about Saturday though. Tomorrow I am back in the job/network game. I am going to PRSA meeting in the morning. In the evening I will be working on a tv crew. I believe you all are right. All things happen for a reason. The best is yet to come. I just gotta believe. Have a great day everyone.

 

i think i'm actually gonna exercise today...  i really do want to & i'm trying...  i'll let you know how it goes  :)

if i do, i'll probably gain muscle again though!!!  and gain...  :(  i hate that!!!  why does muscle have to weigh more than fat?!  lol

one more day!!!  one day til the weigh in!!!  i'm soooooo excited!!!  i just hope i can reach my goal...  my 1st goal is NOT to be overweight by my 50th birthday on the 24th!!!  i think i'll make it.  i'm not sure though.  i missed my christmas goal by ONE pound  :(

I am glad you organized this challenge as well and keep up the good work with your cal intake.  You should be proud of yourself for sticking to the plan.   I can relate with the binge eating it's hard not too when your used to doing it, but you just keep working at it.

Good luck to everyone on Saturday!

..gah

two days of bingeing in a row :/

this really stinks... dont even want to weigh in tomorrow.  i need to stop doing this =( 

hey, xqohx - what triggers the binging?

Hear ye! Hear ye! I am out of the over 200 club! YESSSSSSSS I've gone from 211 to 197 while here at CC.  I've never felt better or happier! Life style changes work.  Diets just make you a grouchy old witch!

 Congrats hun, thats a big accomplishment!

 

I think what triggers the bingeing is that if I have one bite of a "bad" thing, then I start to "punish" myself for eating that and continue to eat more and more.. :(

Hi there xqueenofheartsx:

I admire your transparency. Continue to communicate with us on the board. As we all know I had a horrrific week and it took tears, reaching out, praying and everthing else I had to not binge. I pushed pass the pain. It was REALLY REALLY hard but because of YOU, yeah You and all the other members on this board, you each held my hand and my head up. I made it. Now that doesn't mean I ate heaIlthy...heck no...but I didn't binge. I told on myself. I asked for help. That's huge. So my two-cents keep talking to us.. trust us...we'll support ya. We got your back!!! Because of the support I received this week my down in the dumps of despair party only lasted for two days instead of two weeks. Big improvement. I could not have made it without you good kind people. I am back in stride again. I went to my network meetings, made new friends, got job interviews in the wings next week, even ate some good food and took a light walk. Hey it means so much just to know you have someone to talk with who understands. Anyways hang on keep talk'in and never give up.

I guess it's my turn to have a less than resounding day...  I have to get a grip.  Luckily it is only affecting my mood and not my eating!  I've been staying at home being the mommy for six months (off and on), and I was REALLY setting my hopes on continuing to do nothing but wifey/mommy jobs around the house, buuuuut since we're living in putrid CA, there's no way to make ends meet with me not bringing something in.  I had a good month of not accepting the idea of working and daycare, but a peace has come over me to dig deep and take some of the stress off my husband.  Girls, I'm really torn up about this.  My son will be 2 on the 18th, and he's only little once.  I know I just have to remember that taking care of him and being a good mom means taking care of the finances too.  I reaaaaally wanted a pan of freshly baked brownies, but I ate tons of veggies today instead, and the mixer and cake pan never saw the light of day.

On a positive note, I am really looking forward to tomorrow.  I've never been so eager to get on a scale in my life!  January 12th through June 21st is gonna be a wonderful chapter in my life.  Thanks for being here with me, everyone!
