Hi buds, I am sooo glad you're all here!
Good job on the walking. I recommend food journaling.
I'm trying to stop eating after 7:30pm or a couple hours before bedtime. I think my buddy Oprah said that helps with weight loss. I'll give it a try.
I have to do that too. For me, it will be a couple of hours before bedtime, as I am a night owl.
I've been food journaling and yesterday I found a new app for my Iphone. It may work on other phones too - it is a tool where you can journal what you eat and add up the calories. I want to see if it's better than my little notebook and having to look up each food item.
Of course, you don't have to count the calories if you don't want to, you can just food journal.
I split the fries, does that count? It was a small order too. They were sinfully delicious. I also turned down the offer of thin mints. See, I'm doing good!
You know, ya gotta count these little victories I say. Splitting is good, def better than eating all of them. Small order = good. And turning down the sugar, I'll give you credit for this.
So no weight loss for me this week. Same weight, still trying to get off those pounds gained on that darned cruise. I thought I might be down, since it didn't seem like I ate much in Vegas while at the conference. Oh well.
Here's to next week!
Jen, it is a victory to come back from any trip and not have gained. Congrats! And you know if you drink a lot of water (you could be dehydrated from the trip), the pounds may fall off quickly.
HEY!!!! NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME!!!
Beth...we are all in this together. And we can't/won't let each other give up. Whatever it is, whatever you need, let us know and we will figure it out. DON'T GIVE UP!
I know where you live and don't think I won't come over there and drag your butt out! Hang in there. And don't stop posting. Please??
I want to second what Amy said. Beth, you've come so far, don't quit on us here - we need you here, you're an inspiration.
207 today. 3 down since last Friday. I'm happy with that, especially since I am still struggling to keep a regular exercise routine.
And today I ate lunch (after weighing in) at Cafe Rio which I really shouldn't have. It was sooooo good though. Even though I ordered a salad..not a good place for weight loss. A salad there basically means a naked burrito on an open tortilla with a bunch of lettuce on it..lol. But sooo good! And I only ate about a third of the huge thing. Now I need to work it off!!
Hope everyone is doing well. Miss you all!!!
Amy YEA ON THE THREE POUNDS!!!! Fabulous!!!!
I went to the gym today and did an hour of aerobics class (it includes bands, weights and stretching) plus did 20 min before and after on the x-trainer. I feel so good. Except for my left achilles....
Did y'all see Valerie Bertinelli in the bikini on the cover of People? Looking good.
I'm trying not to gain too much but it's been hard. I guess I just need to keep trying and hope that motivation strikes me again. 
). My allergies have been horrible, especially the past couple of days, so I haven't wanted to walk outside. I'm hoping to be back on track next week.
