Well it's Day 4 and I finally measured myself but didn't take a before pic I have enough of those for god sake... I really was good last night NO CHEATS! I feel so good it's amazing what complying can do for you! As you can all see on my ticker I'm down another 3lbs from yesterday so a total of 6lbs I posted what Sojourner wrote on my bathroom mirror & read it as I was brushing my teeth and It felt great, I feel great I slept so well.... What a fun ride this is going to be

[Serendipity]

I'm happy that you found us. Sometimes a little support is all it takes to get on the right track. Congrats on the compliant day.

[blondeangel7782]

You know I feel so much better being compliant, I was telling a Co worker about my 6lb loss and he said, "keep up the good work because when you get to your goal then your going to have to worry about keeping me and all the other guys off you, you are going to be so HOT" That's a little NSV for me kind of but not really, it just really made me feel great! There are three girls I work with here in the office one of which is a friend to me outside of work and I want to show all 3 of them I can do this regardless of all the other times I failed! This is going to be so fun I just can't overcome how wonderful I feel. Thanks everyone for taking time to read my journal and for your encouraging words, I won't ever be able to express in words how thankful I am to have this board to come to..

Ok sao here I am on Day# 5 WAHOOO I made it I had an extra lean & green yesterday But that was in place of me craving chocolate at home then I had a few bites of fat free sweetened with splenda ice cream but didn't go over board I feel a little guilty but not like I did for eating spaghettio's and franks on monday & cheesecake on tuesday! I'm doing good this am getting ready to have my oatmeal and I stopped and got 2 liters of water to drink today, the scale is still the same but I'll take it... Unca is supposed to insert a head shot photo and hopefully when I lose some of this weight you will be able to tell in my face!

Keep going girly! You can do this!

I will do this and I don't think I was horrible yesterday and my tummy is definitely going down and I feel different every day, Tomorrow is going to be the big day I will be home by myself in a house full of temptation, I did good though because Hubby had pizza last night my favorite and I didn't even feel I needed some! It was very empowering

That is my weakest link as well. Feels good when you pass on eating it and hold to your diet.

[blondeangel7782]

It was actually quite easy to do I just thought to myself I can have it later it won't be extinct! I can't wait to endulge when it's my time!

Also the pic added is for me to see and compare with in a few weeks and for everyone to put a face with a name, sorry just have mascara on today no other make up and god knows when was the last time I did my hair for work! Now most of you here having much Seniority could you please suggest how many weeks or how much weight shold be lost before I post another pic?

Ok Ladies & Gents~

I have to admit by now it's obvious I'm off plan. A whole lot has been going on in my life lately... I resigned from my current employer and my last day will be Oct 26th it was a long and hard decision but it had to be done it's what's best for myself and my hubby and our future...Also my niece & sister in law have moved in with us and it's been a struggle but we are making it work and I love having my niece around she is the best thing ever and I never really imagined how great it would be to have a young girl in the house... Well with that being said hubby & I are busy saving up for our vacation to Florida for Christmas and I will start my new job on Nov 1 which also comes with a free gym membership and man am I stokeed about that so when it comes time for me to start toning this hot body of mine up it's there for me to use... I'm waiting on my products which will be shipped to me via a friend who for medical reasons couldn't continue the program this coming friday via USPS and I have 8 days worth of products left which I will re-start on Monday and go forward with until I receive the stuff from my friend.. I'm really sorry I let myself down but then I begged everyone here for encouragment so I feel like I also let everyone here who encouraged me down and for that I apologize truely & sincerely I hope & Pray that all of you who helped me along will forgive me.. Well I'm closing for now but not forever...

Hi Nikki,

I wasn't around when you were before, but it's nice to meet you now
I've not done MF before, but have had lots of weight losses and gains (many many gains) over the years. Please do not beat yourself up about falling off the wagon. The important thing is that you're back and you're committed to getting with the program again! Hope it goes great & we'll be here for you!

[Elizabeth]

Hi again Nikki There is no reason to apologize. We are all in this together trying to help eachother out. It is not so easy for everyone. I certainly have had my own setbacks. I'm glad you feel like you're in the right place to try again...that is what is most important. Your new job sounds like it will be a good thing for you. Congratulations. Nice to see you here.

[hulagirlfromhawaii]

Hey Nikki!

Thus is our MF journey. The ups and downs are what make it an adventure. Keep going and don't quit.
It took me almost a year to finally get it right. We are all here for you! Keep shakin'!

[blondeangel7782]

Well Good Morning and I'M BAACCCKKK....
I have once again agreed to embark on this journey and can I please tell you I so want to cry after stepping on that stupid thing called a scale this am! I'm at my all time highest weight. It's such a downer but hey It's just more motivation for me... This is day 1 and I hope to never have to say that again and also a mini goal for me is to be in onederland by X-mas who knows if that will happen even being totally compliant. I could have probably been there by now had I not fell off the wagon DH & I will be traveling to Florida for X-mas and I would like to be happy and feel great. I'm so drained due to being so over weight, DH & I are celebrrating our 2 year anniversary today and I still feel like a newlywed and want to physically feel like a newlywed on our 3 year anniv. On to another struggle I have been enduring, our 11yr old niece has become a part of our household and DH & I love the outdoors so we have been taking her trail walking along the potomac river at different parks and such and yesterday we went to the National Zoo and all was great until I had to walk back to the car which required lots of inclined walking and I was in so much pain and had to stop like 4 times and I felt so crappy and I just wanted to fall on the ground and burst into tears! I was so miserable and I don't want to be like that anymore. I'm just freaking FED THE HELL UP WITH THIS! I will be faithful in entering something in this journal everyday even if it's "I don't feel like writing will check in later" Please once again any encouraging words and advice is always welcomed.. So here I go embarking on this journey for the last time I will not have another day 1 or week 1 or re-start except for after x-mas day because I have committed to sticking to program until x-mas day and I will then go off plan for the day and pick right back up the day after... Only if I stick completely to plan. I can't get over feeling like I have failed everyone. Well enough rambling on so I'm closing for now but not forever....

Nikki,

I remember feeling the way you do today on October 15, 2005. That was the day my new life began. My "zoo" trip was a trip to NYC in September 2005. I wanted to sit down in Central Park and cry.

The good news is that if you stick to the plan, you will most likely meet your Christmas goal and if you continue to stick to it after Christmas, you can reach your goal before next summer. A very short time in the scheme of things.

Good luck. Keep motivated and don't cheat.
