How true. We after all have control over whatever we choose to eat or not to eat. Last night I chose to eat a Russell Stover lc candy. LOL! This weekend will include several cookouts and I am looking forward to them (not to overindulge) but because I know that I can take it or leave it. The other things going on at the cookout are what I am really looking forward to. I am really rambling this morning and not making much sense, but hey, I know what I am talking about. Feeling really strong and comfortable with this wol and that is a good thing.....

I did eat more junk, but not more than I "planned" :-) If I make the decision, then I dont feel it is a "cheat" , but a choice.
goddess, ever since I read that concept on your site, I laugh when I am faced with a choice, and I find myself thinking, "Do I want my *** to find out?" It has really helped, and given me a chance to laugh at myself (in a good way) :-)
I wont weigh til Monday, my regular weigh day, and will post then.
Have a great week-end everyone!

I just tried on my size 22 pants--funny how when I started this they were WAY too tight to be comfortable and now they are so baggy I cant keep them up let alone wear them anywhere--they literally fall off--I can pull them up and down like an elastic waisted pair of pants! My sister said this morning--I can't believe you weighed 100lbs more than I do now--you never looked THAT big! Funny, I never thought so either til I looked at pictures of myself form Christmas and before--I know I was that big--I have the pants to prove it!!!!! I am now in my size 16's and comfortable--I want to buy a pair of 14's--I know they will fit--I have one pair--but I am not ready to chuck the 16's yet--they are still comfortable--after 51lbs they should be I guess!!!! I wish I could post a picture but since our software doesn't work and we have spent every spare dime and then a few extras on trips to visit DH;s ailing father, we can't afford a hotlink for the camera to download pics directly onto the computer or the software to edit them right now. . .maybe in a month or two. I have pictures from Christmas before I started this WOE and last summer to compare to now--but none I can get to post becasue I can't alter the size. Would love to show you all the difference though. Maybe by the end of the summer!

Slatelee: Ok.. my numbers are 160/160/149! Shooting for a huge number but hay.. what the heck! My relistic goals never work.. so I will shoot for a unrealistic one this time and see what happens! LOL

My parents are having there 4th of july family get-together and they haven't seen me since the last weekend in September! Which I weighed 198lbs... so I figured 150lbs would be a significant change from then! Ok.. so I know it shouldn't be what others see..but hay.. it's motivation and it works! LOL

Welcome Tina B. Got your stats updated Prinzess fay. You are so right. I rarely make the goals I set in these mini challenges, but having something to strive for keeps me going. -- That and all the support from everyone.

Russell Stove candies are banned from my diet for a while. Cannot stop with just one piece. Have been searching through recipes and making my own goodies again.


Huskers, that is great about the pants. I lost my slip at work the other week. Got out of the car when I got there, and it fell down around my ankles. Just stepped out of it, picked it up and went inside. Several people noticed and we had a good laugh together. Now I keep it pinned to my skirt -- gonna have to break down and buy a new one! Just hate to buy one that is in a size I dont want to wear for long. As long as the safety pin works, I am saving money for a new wardrobe one day....

may I join? I'm starting tomorrow, May 31. My goal for is to go from 169 to 159 by July 01.
thanks!

Okay...I have not ever met a goal I have set for a challenge:( ....No matter how reasonable I think it is. I always come within a couple of pounds so....I have 150 lbs for my June 21st (1st day of summer challenge) and since July 4th is only about 2 weeks from then, and the fact that I seem to be part of the glacier club here lately...even though I am working at my summer job (which is very physical labor) and still going to the gym to work out (get inches measured again in the next couple of days) I am only going to shoot for an additional 2 lbs. So that would make my stats:

155.5/155.5/148 July 4th challenge 7.5 lbs to go

__________________
April (84 lbs gone 4-ever)
230 lbs 8/15/03- Started Atkins
160.5/146/150/Sum Chal (0 to go)
155.5/146/148/July 4th Chal (0 to go)
115 to 120 lbs life Goal (26 to 31 to go)

Please count me in, too! I want to be under 200 lbs for the 4th of July challenge. Lets say 202.5/202.5/198! Maybe I will try a "no scale challenge" for a week at a time, too!

Cindi - I so know how you feel. I was so obsessed on breaking that 200 that I was letting it get to me. I need to quit the daily weighings. It WILL happen, when it is ready.
I've got to get back to the weekly weigh-in.
