I agree with that there are times that I am so 100% nothing could stop and other times I am making excuses and totally unaccountable for my eating.

I don't remember exactly what my words or thoughts were on what I want to lose by Memorial day.........5-29-06
But, 20 pounds would suit me just fine. This time is slow and painful for me, I can only hope that I keep it off this time because I don't want to be at this weight again and miserable looking in the mirror. The failure after failure is the toughest part.
Sorry I am blue today friend.

Hey, PQ. Sorry I haven't been here for you. This week turned into a roller coaster. There was stuff happening left and right. We got home from the hospital, visiting my m-i-l (she had a stroke Wednesday night) and I put DD to bed, then made a pot of green tea, did a load of laundry, then came here to get caught up. I'm tired, though....so I may not stay long.

TOM is here....along with some cramps, bloating, and cravings. I haven't been having these problems much since I started drinking green tea. But this month has been bad. It may be due to stress, though. I'm at 207 now. That's 3 up from 204. Oh, well. :(

How are you?

I am ok, I guess stuck on the scale, but cheating, because TOM is here for me too. Sorry to hear about you MIL, hope that she will be ok.
I like your Memorial Day goal! That is mine ultimate goal! Saying and doing I guess huh?

Nice to hear from you again,

Lost 1.5lb's! So stats are 30/1.5/28.5 goal/lost/pounds to go. TOM is so strange. I seem to lose a couple of pounds the day or two before it starts. That doesn't make sense to me, but it happens almost every time. Then I go up a couple of pounds until it is over, and then start losing again.

__________________

PQ, I may need to revise that goal of mine. Memorial Day is only 43 days away....and I would need to lose 22 pounds in 42 days. I have been trying to get to 199 for so long. By my birthday....then by the end of March.....then by Easter......and I am STILL not there!

I will see where I am next weekend when I weigh-in for the Lonestar Loser's challenge, then make a new goal from there. I may be able to get back to 204 by Sunday.....so I might go with 2 pounds per week or so and put me at.......5 weeks X 2 pounds per week= 10 pounds. So, maybe like 194 or 195 for this challenge. We'll see.

Have a nice Easter. I'll check in later.

Haven't been around much, sick, very busy....Down 1.5 today so 30/3/27. Wish I felt better to enjoy it. Oh well, weekend is almost here, not that anything slows down I will try to catch up this weekend.

Hey, ya'll! I was (finally) back to 204 today. I wish I hadn't been having TOM and Easter candy in the house in the same week!

How is everyone else doing? My goal for this challenge is 195. I'll go change my siggy right now. 9 pounds in the next 5 weeks SEEMS do-able.

Wow! What a difference a week makes! I may have to change my goal....NAH! It gives me a lofty goal to shoot for. PQ....ya there?

Nah! I think you may be green from being sick! Are you all better now? I hope so!

I went back to 209, then 208, then to 206 this morning. I seem to be back "in the zone" for the most part. I just need to work on the "GO TO BED" part!

Maxibee,
You are too funny! I would drive myself nuts if I weighed in that much, I would most likely take a hammer to the scale in frustration, I am down another 5 pounds 21 altogether, slow road this time around...... 20 since 3-15! Ugh!

I haven't been really sticking LC anyways, I just watching what I eat. I just found out that I will be moving to Florida come summer (July). Therefore!!! Can I be a beached whale! NO!!!:( do I need to rid of this weight once and for all! yes!!!
I wish taking this weight off was as fun as putting it on!!!
write when u can

I was back to 204 this morning.....but had some of DD's leftover chocolate bunny from Easter. Not much, but maybe enough for some damage.....:( WHY do I do this? I'm back to my low weight, needing to go "onward and downward" from here.....and I eat candy! Dude! That is so.....self-sabotage. If I'm up in the morning.....I deserve it for being a dumb@$$! Check ya later!

I have been there, I guess that sometimes we think that we "deserve" to eat something naughty; because we have been so good. Self-sobotage is really the truth! Like our body or minds don't want us to go too far....strange but true. When I lost a large amount of weight the first time that I attempt LCE I didn't recognise myself and though she was getting alot of attention from the boys....lol...:hot:
There was still this part of me that still felt like that fat person that I once was. I was embarrassed when people would say...OMG!!!!!!!!! what did u do? You are so thin! I remember once going to a place with of my ex's friends were there and they hadn't seen the new me yet (50 pounds in 4 months I lost intially btw) and they were pointing and saying Oh my! I left the place and went somewhere else. My ex said...everyone commented on how great you look and I said...then why do I feel like I grew a third eye?
Sometimes our heads are still in the fat mode, I guess thoase are my thoughts for the day
Hang in there and ditch the bunnies......summer is soon and 199 is so close for you!!!

I lost another pound is morning,:jumpgreen that 6 pounds in some 10 days!!
write when you can chick!
