You are always going to have stress in your life. You've got to learn how to deal with it without usuing food or alcohol. It's going to be tough. But look at far you've come! Don't let a little stress ruin all you've worked so hard to achieve! We are here for you! (I really think I should be looking a mirror when saying that) .Maria.

Ok, this may not be the advice you want to hear. But ... why not give into the craving? I've had cravings that won't go away. I try to ignore them for DAYS!!! And they won't go away until I finally cave in. As long as you don't over do it, all is well. .Maria.

Hey everyone! Looks like I've missed a lot! Lol. Eventually I'll have a computer at my house and I can keep in constant contact and may even get into the "stalker" mode. Lol. Glad to see people succeeding! :) So yesterday I was in a love/hate thing with myself. Nothing too bad. But it did give me the balls to try on those size 13 jeans in my closest that I have yet to fit into. I put one leg in, then the other. Then I pulled them up. I buttoned and zipped them w.little problem. Can we say stoked here?!?! I looked in the mirror and I had a HUGE smile on my face. I can't officially wear them yet because there is still the "muffin top" issue. Ok, I'm not worried about a little MT. But this was bad. Like, if I wore these jeans out in public people would look at me and be like "Maria, don't you think you should wear clothes your own size?" Lol. I figure if I keep on losing I should be able to wear them by the end of the month! Good luck to everyone with this weekend! :) .Maria.

Tomorrow is weight in day. Ugh. I haven't been able to work out all week because of these freakin' stitches. But I'm going to do it tonight. I want to see if I can. They are coming out Wed and I really want to work out. I just don't think I can go too hard. But something is better than nothing, right? Hope everyone had a great 4th! .Maria.

I haven't worked out all this week. I'm a little hesitant to because of these flippin' stitches. But tonight I'm going to try. I weigh in tomorrow so I know it's not going to do too much good for this weeks weight loss. But I hate not being able to work out! Have ya ever noticed that when you can't do it, that's when you want to the most? Lol. Could have done better eating yesterday, but oh well. Can't complain cuz if I was really that concerned about it, I would have eaten different. Lol. Hope everyone had a great 4th!!! .Maria.

Ok ... had the last two days off w.no internet. Gotta play catch up! STATS: I'm 23. I topped out at 210lb in '06. Last weeks weigh in was 170lb. Want to get back down to 120lb. I haven't had kids yet, so I think my high school weight is totally reachable! I'm also trying to workout every day and get back into runner. Yup, cross country and track runner. Lol. figurethefat maybe while you're cooking dinner, have a weight in your hand to do arm curls or something while in between tasks? Just a thought! TGIF!

Welcome yokyok and jerseyjen! I've been really bad this week. It's hubby's last week home for the summer (he works at a summer camp and stays up there). So as of tonight, I will only see him Saturday nights - Sunday mornings until mid August. So of course we've been doing a lot of stuff and getting fast food. Ick. I try to be good, but it's just not fair when he's stuffing his face with a Baconator from Wendy's! grumble That's ok though. Cuz now that he won't be home ... I can stuff the house full of fruit and veggies! And not have evil food (aka - his food) around! So hopefully my weight loss will get better! TGIF!!! .Maria.

I'm the same way! I get home, I'm starving ... so I eat. Then I think of a million other things to do besides work out! We'll get better!

I'm so in! I def need hard core accountablity! My weakness is working out. Once I get started on a workout program ... I'm awesome! It's getting started and doing it the morning after a day off that kills me! .Maria.
