Hi All ... same old situation. Stuck in a plateau. Am trying something different this week, as I have found a Yoga and dance studio that just opened up near my house. It's very affordable and it's something I've been looking for for quite some time now. Cross your fingers and I let you know how it goes.

Work has been very hectic, and is only getting busier over the next two weeks. I have succumbed to the temptation to eat "comfort foods" to deal with stress and anxiety..... but will STOP doing that this week!!! Nothing is a better stress relief than exercise - I just have to make time on a daily basis to get that 30 minutes in. I can do it! I am GOING to do it.
Total pounds lost so far: 21lbs! :)
Hi All. Looks like i am the only one signing in today. Still stuck in the plateau. Still working on it. Also trying to quit smoking. Two of the hardest things I've ever had to do, lose weight and stop smoking. Went from a pack a day to like 5 a day, and use the patch to help. wish I could do as well with food. I just get so hungry. I will hopefully have better news nest week.

Hi everyone,
I had a tough last week - traveling four days and going from snow storm to snow storm across the country. Why does cold weather make me want to eat like a cow??? (Actually, most cows probably ate better than I did last week.......) 
But, I came home and got back on the wagon -- had a really great workout and ate really healthy. Its weird - when I got home on Thursday, I weighed myself at 175. By Sunday, I was down to 172!!!!!!!!!! Crazy, but I'll take it!!!
Starting Weight: 178 lbs

Hi All,didn't feel like checking in with you all since my starting weight last week was 169 and the ending was 170. WEll, now you know. I went to my doctor last week and am on that program I told you all about. I can definitely check in with some major confidence today and let you know that I found a way to make it all go away.

Let me just tell you, that this last week has been really tuff for me. I started this medically supervised weight loss program with my doctor and it is very rewarding and healthy. I check in with him weekly as I do all of you and i'm not starving myself, just learning how to control what i eat. There is a cherry pastry sitting on my counter that I have wanted to eat all week. It's wrapped in plastic. You can probably imagine how badly I've been wanting to eat it. Talk about self control. Also I'm drinking 8 16oz bottles of water daily, and peeing like crazy. It's working, clearly. I am also walking at least a half hour everyday. Teaching my body to pull fat out of the stored areas where it just sits. I feel much better and am finally out of my plateau.
See you guys next week.

HI All, this week went really well again for me. Going on my 3rd week now of my medically supervised program. I don't think I've ever drank so much water in my life! Love the walking everynight. Even my boyfriend has started going with me and has joined the wagon of eating less and more healthy.

Looks like i reached my mini goal for the 17th, which was 160. I am leaving for London Saturday night, so I won't weigh in for Sunday, but will weigh in Saturday morning so we are tallied. For those of you who are stuck, i ate nothing but protein for five days, then added in small servings of fruit and veggies after that. Lots of water. A minimum of 8 16fl. oz. bottles everyday and at least a 1/2 hour of walking every night. It seems to be working out pretty good so far. The first five days was the hardest but i made it through. Just a little story if you are having trouble.
See you guys next week.
