Hey, T, just givin' you a 'WOOT' for the day ! Looking forward to your check-in post and wishing you the best .

[Tawanda]

Thank you everyone!

Today is day 21 on program, weight loss so far is 8# (weight 177 this morning). I have had more head hunger in the past couple days than I want but am watching the clock closer so that I don't allow too much time between supplements along with increasing my water consumption. I'd love to see one more pound gone tomorrow's weigh in..

I'm still having trouble with my computer and having trouble with my bookmark for the weight ticker (along with most other sites that use passwords--grrr!).

Good morning! Last night was another insomnia night for me. I couldn't fall asleep so got back up to read until I was sleepy. I read until 12:30 then laid on the couch. I woke at 4 a.m. to help get my child (adult) & grandchildren out the door for their big outing today. I did not want to wake my husband so did not go weigh myself when I woke....thus, no idea what my weight is this morning.

Yesterday's weight was 177--which was 3# loss from last Sunday. I'm happy with my progress and today is day 22 on program! I have had some foody thoughts but able to, easily, talk myself out of eating off program (so far? LOL). I feel strong and very committed to reaching my goal (again).

I hope everyone is doing well!

Great, T !! I know the sleeplessness is a bummer sometimes (not always a bummer for me). I woke at 4:15 or so ... ehhhgg. Anyway, glad you're feeling so strong and committed . Cheers for the day !

Hi, just stopping by to check in. I was wrong, kinda, on my weight on Saturday. I said 177 but in checking my calendar where I record my weight, that the scale jumped back and forth from 177.0 to 177.5...I wrote 177.5 on the calendar and put 177.0 here. Both are true, I guess..but ....LOL

Anyway, this morning it was a solid 177.5 on the scale.

I'm watching all 4 grandchildren today and all 4 are coughing, runny noses and short tempered. An interesting day...I'm tired. I have a bit of a scratchy throat and dull headache, sure hope I'm not coming down with their germs.

Still following the program! I did have a time of anger & frustration last night, almost reached for the brownies...but then scolded myself for even thinking that food would solve or ease my emotions.....and reminded myself that food doesn't solve any problems (other than when we need fuel or are truly hungry)...food, in excess, just makes me feel disappointed in myself. I feel like I won a little battle in a long war. Hopefully I'll continue to win the little battles.

Guess that is it, there is some squabbling over Legos that I need to referree ......

[Karli]

Congrats, T !! My mantra for many things lately is : 'There is confidence in resolvedness' and you certainly seem to be demonstrating that ! Cheers !

177 again today. Looking forward to seeing the needle move down again....hope it is soon (I am so impatient, especially when I'm doing the program correctly, LOL).

I drank lots of water yesterday (one of my problem areas)---by lots, I mean I drank about 8 glasses. I really thought I'd see a drop on the scale for my hard work and determination --- oh well......I'll do it again today and keep on doing it..

All of the grandchildren are ill, coughing, runny noses, two are running fevers. We are wondering if it is the H1N1 virus as it is hitting people hard in our area (heck, it is hitting hard every where). So far I've had nothing more than a little headache and a scratchy throat. I do not know how I can dodge getting what they have as I am getting coughed on all day long (they are working on coughing into the elbow, but they miss sometimes, LOL) and wiping noses.

Still firmly on program and still having the occasional thought, when unhappy/stress/frustrated/overwhelmed.. about shoving my face into the brownie pan. It has been good that I've had these foody thoughts though as I am reminding myself, pretty often, that food does not solve any problems, eating when I want, whatever I want--it just adds more unhappiness than satisfaction. Satisfaction is fleeting, the self-disgust, sadness and condemnation lasts a lot longer. I pray that I am learning to deal with life's ups and downs as I work through this time.

Today is day 24 on program.....I've lost 8#.

[Tawanda]

177 again today.... Still on program and still doing well. Water consumption wasn't great yesterday, but I will work on that today.

Grandchildren still sick, I'm still babysitting.

Hope everyone is doing well!

[Tawanda]

177------again. LOL I did step on the scale, again, when I was getting ready for my shower - that time I saw 176. I'm happy to see the smaller number but not counting it since it hasn't shown up when I weigh first thing in the morning. Sooner or later the darn scale will give me some gratification for being on program.

Still program compliant!

[Tawanda]

176.5 this morning. Nice to see a drop, but wishing it was a bit more than .5#

I made my husband a BLT sandwich for dinner last night and did munch on a few slices of bacon, then ate my baked chicken salad. No longer can claim 100% compliance for the 26 days I've been on program, but I'm still very happy with what I've been doing and have accomplished.

Only watching 2 grandchildren today instead of 3 or 4....but these two are ill. The doctor said it was 'a virus' but we are guessing that it is the H1N1 virus that they are fighting, due to their symptoms. One is on steriods for his lungs as this has hit their respiratory system pretty hard along with fever, aches, lethargy, runny nose......and coughing. If it isn't the H1N1, it sure is a nasty flu-type bug.

Hope everyone has a great and successful day.
