I feel pretty good about it. It's like a minefield out there. Candy is EVERYWHERE. It's not going to get any easier through the holidays, so I'm trying hard to have a good attitude, stick to my program, be positive, and PLAN! I made it through the holidays last year, I'll do it this year.

I'm so far off track that I mine as well be building a new one....
Ate so much junk today that I just need to focus on making one small change at a time...I think the most important one is water...I've had 2 bottles today and I believe 2 or 3 yesterday...tomorrow I will start to keep track
Hugs,
Amber - On track...

I start each day with good intentions, healthy breakfast, healthy packed lunch, however being an emotional eater the minute I get annoyed, bored etc at work I head for the snack machine, some days recently I have managed 5 chocolate bars in an hour. If I manage to avoid the snack machine, I cannot make it through the evening, I am an evening binge eater.
My morning walks came to an end three weeks ago when daylight savings began as it was too dark to walk in the mornings, I think I only used this as an excuse as I live in a very safe neighbourhood, where I could walk at anytime day or night, however I just cannot get myself moving again.
I am having surgery early December, my doctor told me the biggest risk is being overweight, I thought this would be an incentive, not working.
I am also going overseas in January, and wanted to loose a bit of weight and feel fitter so I could keep up with my travelling companions and not get worn out, that has not been enough incentive either.
So... like Krista I wont give up, I know everything I have to do, just got TO DO IT. - On track for me....

and I have been since July 15th!! I have found that if I am consistent, I will consistently lose!
For me I have to stay focused and just remember why I am doing this. When I was on WW (which I think is a fantastic program) I would do pretty good all week and then after my weigh in, I would go out to Subway on the way home and get a footlong sandwich, a couple of bags of Sunchips and call it good. Then I would start again the next day! So bacially I was sabatoging all of my efforts from the previous week by going out and eating what I wanted after my weigh in.
I have a long way to go, but I am learning that no matter how quickly I want this weight off...I just have to put one foot in front of the other and stay the course! It will come off...I just have to be patient!! - All I can say is

I am glad my company and all the EXTRA heavy-duty goodies are going home with them.
I have done okay but not as well as I had hoped to do. I managed to do well here, but we were invited out to other relative's homes and that was the problem. I could not turn down the food they had prepared because it was a meal made for us out of love. So I ate what they served but tiny portions, and only one relative got offended that I didn't want dessert. I ate one bite and when she left to get coffee refills, I put it on Dad's plate and he ate it.
But I have the feeling I did not lose this week and actually may have gained because of all the sodium. Last night I fixed a big Italian dinner with homemade sourdough bread toasted with real butter on it and roasted garlic. I did have a slice of that and it was better than I remembered.
But all in all I did well. I am not weighing in until next week, after a few days of drinking my water, and eating right. If I find myself at a maintain next Monday, I will know that i probably had a gain today.
Anyway, it was worth it. I have really enjoyed my family here. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to handle eating at other people's houses... I would appreciate it.
shirley - Great timing krista

I fought the battle of the cupcakes from Friday in the staff lounge bravely all day Monday and most of the day Tuesday.
I figured on Monday they'd all be gone, there were less than a dozen of them and usually the teachers eat them right up.
This time they didn't eat them and yesterday, the cupcakes won. Followed by some candy I had leftover from staff meeting in August.
Today is weigh in. I have a feeling I'm going to be saying hello to a couple (or more) pounds lost last week. - I have been more off than on lately...

and its FRUSTRATING!!!!!
One thing I have found out is that if I don't consistently exercise, I do NOT lose weight. period.
But for a while there I told myself that I could not have two 'bad' days in a row and I was still losing, even if I ate bad every other day. Somehow, I have lost this way of thinking!
I just need to get going! Yesterday was a good day...I plan on making this one good too! Then once the weekend hits, I struggle so I MUST try harder this weekend too!!!
I have been bobbing between 207-213 lately. I need to get below there and get into that ONEDERLAND!!
Today I was 211.6 - For the 3rd day I hope...

... on track. I'm embarrassed by how often I am "off track". But I'll own up to it and keep on trying. I'll never ever ever give up because I don't ever want to go back to where I was - over 200 and closer to 300 (270).
I feel good about it but nervous about my ability to maintain it. I am a total food addict and, surgery or not, it is so easy for me to turn to that instant "high" of eating foods that I love.
When I look in the mirror, I don't see what I weigh. I don't see a 270 lb Krista, but I sure don't seem someone fit yet. I still focus on my butt and huge legs.
Will I get back to 150 lbs where I was in the summer of 2008? I'd like to but we'll see.
Have a great day everyone!
- Thank you all for sharing

I think it helps to talk about how we are doing. Even if I am doing poorly, sharing with friends who understand has always helped me.
