I did pretty well yesterday despite my mood that I'm never going to loose weight 
. "Brunch" -- lean cuisine pizza (actually really good
), garden salad with low cal. dressing, 1 reduced fat oreosnack -- low-fat granola bar
dinner -- sandwich (pumpernickel bread), fat-free pringles, banana
I drank 60 oz. of water which is really good for me but the biggest thing I am proud about is that I did my 1 mile. We had company until around 8:30 and I usually try to do it a half hour after I eat dinner which would have been 6:00. Well, by 8:30 I was very tired and dh doesn't do his exercise on weekends so I could have given myself an easy out but I didn't
! I went down and made myself do it. I really think this 14 day goal is good for me since I'm not looking at it like I have to do it everyday for the rest of my life. Yesterday would also have been a fast food day for us as we were out and about but dh and I resisted that temptation too. He really wanted chinese food but I told him no way was I eating that after what the scale said yesterday. I did tell him if he really wanted it to get it for himself (he has been doing awesome and has lost 30 pounds). He said Nah, he didn't need it. I think we are good for eachother that way. We did stop to get ds a happy meal and then came home and made our dinners out of stuff we had in the house.I'm not weighing myself until Monday. That will be one full week and by that time TOM should be on his way out. I'm hoping I see some results to keep me going with this. I do feel like I have more energy and I'm sure the water is doing some good regardless, I just really want a smaller me.

i wouldn't be too worried about losing 5 pounds in a week, but i would be concerned if it kept up at that pace. maybe the previous week you were holding water, and you had a nice big whoooosh this week. i'd definitely try to stay away from the scale every day. try to do it just once a week, otherwise, you could get discouraged. but if you need to do it, jsut remember, weight fluctuates throughout the week depending what you ate, just like sharon said. so don't worry about it if it goes up one day, it'll be right back down.
?! That's when I went and got the cheese and that helped. Sometimes I just feel like I'm torturing myself with these food craving and then I start sabotaging myself thinking that I didn't get anywhere with last week and I should give up and get pizza 
! 
Oh well, it will mean that much more to you when you reach goal because you had to work so hard for it (isn't that what our folks used to tell us about school???!
)
)And honest, if you can resist that TV time snack monster for a few days, it will slowly get better. Try some 94% FF microwave popcorn. Its not too bad on calories and it is somewhat satisfying. Just a thought.
. i know this is hard. you want the weight to come off quickly, just like dh's did, but like the others have mentioned, women are different than men. you're going to have to work hard and it will be a process to get this weight off. but you can do it! i totally understand the sabotage feeling. and i don't really know how to get past it. i guess whenever you get that feeling of "oh, i didn't lose last week, why should i bother?" try to think positive thoughts. 
, it's changed--you've made so many healthy changes and you will reep the benefits of all of them! Have a great day--good luck w/ the snacking tonight--you can do it! 
Think of the money you will save too by not frequenting the fast food places!!! I know I am saving money by not eating lunch out as much as before. I take money out at the ATM and by Friday, I've still got money in my pocket!
