Hey Beachbaby,

You're goals of 135 for Halloween and 120 for Christmas are the same for me! It will be the best Christmas present ever! I haven't been 135 in over 12 years let alone 120 in 14 years! I can't wait!! :mrgreen:

We can do this!!!

I know! We are (were) pretty much the same until I went on vacation!

Let's see... I was 143 for my wedding in 2002, and was 126 in college in 1996.

We should go shopping (online!) together when we reach goal! BIKINIS!!!

Okay! Let's do that!

Ugh, dinner sucked. I had 4 oz of cottage cheese and a bowl of cooked mushrooms. Halfway through the mushroom part the baby started crying for food, so I put the plate down and fed him. The shrooms got soggy. Bleh. So I did not eat the rest. I think I screwed up my Green tonight.

Soooo. Last week I went on a massive shopping spree. I spent about $1000 in clothes. I know that sounds dumb since I have more weight to lose-- but I have not bought any clothes since I was pregnant. I was wearing sweats or leggings to work every day and people were sometimes making comments.

Plus... at my weight I will still be able to wear some of these clothes when I lose more- I got a lot more form-fitting sweaters and shirts.

So.... I went to Nordstrom, Lord and Taylor, Express, Banana Republic and J Crew. I actually bought some size 8 pants too! Woo-hoo!

YAY! I love shopping. I've been trying to stay out of the stores lately, because I'm okay for clothing. It's funny though when I throw on my old tshirts because they're just. so. big. I was feeling fat the other day when I went to pilates so I wore one of my tshirts and it kept getting in the way. oops.

So how are you feeling otherwise? Feeling like you are back on track and stuff? I'm having a hard time in my head right now, but I am hoping to work through it.

Hey girl!

Wow, what a fun shopping spree!!!! You know what's even better, you're gonna have to have another one in a few months when all those clothes are too big!

That's a great way to measure your progress!!!

No worries about last week... Just keep goin' girl. You know what I'm gonna say next.... Keep shakin' We can do this!!!!

Well, I have not been on the scale since 9/25 and I have to say it was easier than I thought. I think my obsessive weighing-in every morning and night was making me a crazy person.

Right before I started avoiding the scale, I cheated at Bertucci's. My husband had a bad day at work and I took him out for a nice Italian dinner. Then I had some of Dylan's baby cookies with him that night. I was so mad at myself that I threw the scale under the bed and have not been back to it since. But I have been compliant since then.

I really want to reach this goal of 135 by Halloween. That is 4 weeks and 2 days away. Before my cruise in July, and when I was totally compliant, I lost an average of 2.75 pounds a week. So that being said, it is possible to lose 11-12 pounds by Halloween. I have my TOM this week so I know I am retaining water. I feel like I am back up to starting weight.

But... I am staying on plan and behaving so we'll see what happens. I REALLY want to reach my goal of 120 for Christmas, even if I do not reach 135 for Halloween. I'll keep you guys posted!

I hate getting my period. Not like any of you like it either. But I feel SO bloated and fat right now. I just had a shake and feel like my belly expanded 5 inches. Bleh.

GucciGoo · by **GucciGoo** » October 2nd, 2006, 8:14 am

Well it came early. Which is good because then it will be gone sooner. I feel like I am discussing my TOM a lot. For that I apologize.

I can discuss my ingrown toenail. I have to get surgery on it (again) tomorrow. I love the 4 shots I get before the surgery. They are pleasant.

I know what you mean about the bloating. I get so bloated and cramps that I completely lose my appetite every month during that time. Which is a good thing because right before when I'm PMSing the opposite happends and I can't stop eating. I actually waited until TOM came to start the program because I knew it would be so much easier for me to get past that 1st week being that I wouldn't have an appetite. Hope all goes well with the surgery.

GucciGoo · by **GucciGoo** » October 2nd, 2006, 10:53 am

Thanks!

I am so hungry right now. I am having hot tea to supress the hunger. I wish there was something I could grab at work that would not take me too much off plan. I could get some egg salad, but the mayo would be bad. I am craving salt. And I already ate my soy crisps.

Hmmmm.... does anyone else have trouble staying on plan during TOM?
