Hi everyone!
I have to brag just a tiny bit because I'm really proud of myself... even though yesterday was my birthday, and I did eat 1 cup of ice cream (yum!), and I had a mini-cupcake, and I had a taco for dinner - all things I LOVE - I still managed to go only 70 calories over my limit! Woohoo! I was pretty hungry early in the day (just had a little fruit because I knew the good stuff was coming later), but it was worth it to be able to indulge a bit in the evening. So thankfully, I'm not feeling guilty today! :D
Wish I'd just started this whole diet thing by counting calories instead of carbs - it's so much easier for me. I'm a carb addict! Five years ago, I lost nearly 30 pounds by counting calories. It took about 3-4 months to lose the weight, but I kept it off for 3 years. The only reason I gained it back was because I went on a months-long binge after my father died in 2001, and didn't even realize I was doing it until over a year later. When I finally snapped out of it & stopped pigging out, for some reason I decided to try to lose the weight by counting carbs this time. I did Aktins for 2 weeks & lost a little weight, but was SOOOO stressed. Then I tried just "cutting back" on carbs, not really counting - but still couldn't handle the cravings.
So I finally came to the realization that I should just stick with what worked in the first place - 1200 calories Monday thru Friday, taking weekends off from dieting, and working out 3-4x/week. I find this MUCH easier to do, and I've already proven than it works for me as long as I'm not looking to drop the weight overnight. Sorry to rattle on so long, but I just had to share all that. I want to reinforce to everyone that dieting doesn't have to be super difficult or stressful - you just find the method that's easiest for you, and don't expect results overnight. Words to live by! ;)
Hope you're all doing well. Let's hear it - how is today going for everyone???

Hi all! Just finished my chicken dinner. I wasn't very hungry though so I just ate the chicken and a little cup of applesauce. I pretty much stuck to my eating plan today except this afternoon I was a little hungry so I ate a small handful of mixed nuts. Not too bad though!
I also watched Dr. Phil--was that show interesting??? I really expected to see a show on people who lost weight but I'm not sorry that it wasn't what I thought! Really made me think! Especially the part about living in a "fat suit" that should be unzipped from the INSIDE!!! I think he made a good point when he said there is a difference between self image and body image--these are issues that I struggle with. How many times have we felt guilty, embarrassed and weak because of the way we view ourselves???Me--almost everyday. Well, I'm going to make it a point to change my self image as well as my body image! I'm more than just a number on the scale or a reflection in the mirror!
The girl who had the "fat phobia" really struck a cord with me. In the beginning; she made it sound like all her problems( being nauseous, not being able to eat) was the fault of overweight people! IMO, she needs professional help. The problem isn't with the overweight people she is seeing; the problem is within herself. If you think about it- it's rather ridiculous; it's like me saying that I don't want to be around cancer victims because I'm afraid I'll get it one day! I missed the end of the show (but I taped it)and I hope that she gets the help that she needs!!!
Okay; enough of my two cents! How is everyone else doing? I'm going to work with my daughter on her castle some more; hopefully, tonite I can get to bed at a decent time. Last night I didn't sleep for anything; I actually took a 20 minute catnap this afternoon and woke up feeling refreshed. So, I'm going to try to get to bed earlier.
Well, if I don't chat with ya later; I'll be back in the morning!!!

This is the day of congratulations for everyone :bouncing: http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/dance.gif
Today, I got on the scale and lost 2.5 pounds. It must have been because I was in the bathroom all day long after I ate the burrito for lunch - I was two pounds full of it, if you know what I mean. So the total since early April for me is 16.5 pounds!
Today, I ate this chinese fried thing with rice at work - very good - but perhaps I should have stayed away from it. Later, at a retirement thing, I munched on veggies - not so bad, except that earlier, I went for a dougnut - what in tarnation is wrong with me? Anyway, I probably will munch on something lite later - and that will be the end of my consumption for the day.
Well, gotta go - do some exercise for the back and rest some afterwards. I had a good day today at work - my kids are finishing up a project where they take on the personality of a President or First Lady - they really got into it - dressing up, voice change, thorough research, and had alot of fun. I am so proud of them. They came a long way to learn how to research properly.

Don't feel so bad about the computer - before I re-opened to the internet, mine said - A SERIOUS PROBLEM .....the just shut down. Talk about a freak out - I love my little computer and don't like it when it talks to me like that.
Cheer up - a long extended weekend is coming up so that you can regroup.

hope everyone had a good day and by the sounds of things nobody did? things will be better tomorrow!!! i myself am having a horrible time, i started throwing up so i didn't take the cleanse with dinner, i really might have the flu! my 3 year old dumped an entire bottle of pancake syrup on my bedroom floor, i feel like pure crap, i feel like the goodyear blimp i would actually love to kill aunt flo,and i had to clean up the syrup mess cause the hubby is lucky enough to be at work until in the morning.(hope he don't think were having pancakes when he walks in the door, it sure smells like it!LOL). the only good thing that happened today was RUBEN won american idol!!!!! i cried my eyes out! i reckon i can blame that on that ole' witch aunt flo too!LOL i was a little dissapointed with dr.phil too, but it did make me re-think a few things. i really understand what phil meant about the lady who gained all the weight after the car accident, it's about the inside issues too but , did you see how pretty she was when she was thin? don't get me wrong she was still really pretty on the show, i just could feel what she was feeling, i too use to weigh 120 i have pictures and they make me sicker than a dog, the only difference is she sorta has an excuse being in the accident and all, my only excuse is me! i'm sorry this is so long so i'll be done for now. good luck tomorrow!----Mtn.

Good morning all! Just finished my some more work on the castle; I'm amazed at what I can do when I use my imagination. If only I could be this creative with weightloss--sigh. I hopped on the scale this morning; I'm still holding steady! Oh well, atleast I'm not gaining!
I had a protein shake again for breakfast. This afternoon I'm planning chicken salad w/ h.b. egg & fat-free mayo (no bread). Dinner will be chicken fajitas(sp)with some sort of veggie. I'm making rice for the kids; but thought if I was still hungry I'd have a small bowl of chili instead. That way I stay away from the excess carbs and get some more fiber. I'm averaging under 100 grams of carbs per day which I think is a pretty good medium for me. Not as extreme as Atkins; and not as much fat. It's working; now if I can just get my butt back into the habit of regualr exercise; maybe I can say "adios" to several more pounds!
MtnMama: I can relate when you say that you think you were more beautiful when you were thin. I often think that about myself: "I'm a pretty girl but I would be much more attractive if I weren't overweight". And that's the first thought I had when I saw that lady. Even being overweight--she was very pretty.
Well,I hope that everyone has a better day than yesterday! What happened to our "I can do it attitudes"? C'mon gals (&guys) I know we're nearing the end of the challenge and some of us (myself included) have not met our goal yet. But that doesn't mean we give up! I'm determined to lose this weight; even if it takes me 10 more challenges to do it!!! Losing weight is basically like everything else in life: a big experiment. We have to keep trying until we discover the formula that works best for us. Yes, there will be setbacks; maybe a few disappointments, but we learn from them and we move on!!! Don't back down now! We've come to far; and we've made a committment to each other but more importantly to ourselves to get it together!!!!! I'm counting on you guys!
Oh my; the baby is now howling to be picked up so I guess I'd better go! I'll check back later to see if my pep talk has helped!!!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! I woke up in much better spirits this morning. maybe you all will/did too,i hope. i have a confession to make! i am completely addicted to this board! it's the last thing i do before going to sleep and one of the first things i do in the morning. i think about it all the time. just wanting to get on here and see if there is any new topics that might be the answer we've all been waiting on. maybe i need a shrink?LOL all well, maybe this addiction will replace the food addiction! i had posted a while back asking if anyone had heard about RMR(resting metabolic rate)? has noone heard of this or is it a bunch of crap? sorry houdini, i was so wrapped up in my self-pity i forgot to congratulate you! and to southern_mom good luck on your upcomming get together sounds like alot of fun! the husband and i are taking the kids camping over the weekend, i'll probably come back heavier than ever! hope not but if the kids have a good time it'll be worth it. i don't think i told you all this but my oldest son 10 1/2 is bi-polar i don't know if any of you know anything about it but it is one of the saddest things in the world! and i am always stressed out because of the things that go along with it. maybe thats why i have a hard time loosing? i ain't taking any meds. for the depression. i've heard that prozac has often been considered one of the few meds. that could actually aide in weight loss, what are your views on this? which of the two do you think would hinder the weight loss more? the stress/depression,or the prozac? please help me out on this one!!!!!!!!------Mtn.mama.............. by the way i am going to post the ? about the stress thing seperatly, maybe i'll get more feed back that way?

You all challenged me to look at my weight at the beginning of this challenge - it was 183. As of yesterday, my weight was 174.5. Now that was 8.5 pounds http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/dance.gif
Although that is not what I originally wanted to lose, and I could have done better - I am still quite pleased. I challenge you all to do the same thing and see how far we have gone. I bet the scale went in the right direction!
MM: I have mental illness that runs in my family - what is curious to me that your son was identified at such a young age. How did you know? My heart and thoughts are with you.

Good morning everyone! And I certainly mean GOOD MORNING!!! In about 8 hours; I will be childless for the next 3 days!! Except for the hubby that is. But he has to work this weekend; and it's a good thing or I may not have gotten anything done!! Don't get me wrong; I love my children--but it's once "in a blue moon" that they go away with the inlaws and I'm left with some peace & quiet! I've got big plans for this weekend; mostly boring stuff that I need to do but it will be much easier to do without any distractions! Maybe the hubby & I can even sneak off for a quiet dinner tonite........
Are you sitting down. Good. I had a major breakthrough this morning. I actually drug my lazy butt out of bed and did my Firm Bodysculpting video!!! It's the first time I've done strength training in a long time---and although I kept thinking " when's this going to be over?" thru the whole video...I felt so much better when I completed it!!! Ans it true what they say; if you skip weight training for a long period of time--you lose some of that strength. So, keep with it friends!!!!
I've actually been pretty busy so far today. I did about 3 loads of laundry--washing bedding as we speak. I've cleaned my bathrooms and dusted my bedroom. I'm trying to get my cleaning out of the way today so I don't have to worry about it the rest of the weekend. With no monkeys running around; it may actually stay clean!!! Listen to me--by tomorrow afternoon I'll probably be bored to death and half insane from the silence!!!
Well, guess I should continue to get busy before I lose all my umph!!!! I'll check back this afternoon!!!

southern-mom, ouch! sorry about your toe.
jen: you are so lucky!!! it would be awesome to be FREE for an entire weekend. only one word to say...ENJOY!
esper: my son was originally dx with adhd. we've been dealing with this problem for a very long time it took a while to get the real dx. they finally figured it out after about 500 trips to dr. appts. he is just way too moody to be adhd and a super big problem dealing with just about anything. suicidal at times.never attempted so far! they finally got his meds. adjusted and he is doing quite well for the time being!!!YEAH! as far as i am concerned i can deal without meds. iam sure they might be helpful to me ,the reason i asked the question about prozac was because i think i can deal with life easier than i am dealing with this weight issue. but it would be really nice to make life easier to deal with by taking prozac or something and it not hindering my attempt to lose weight. just wanted to know if anyone had heard that antidepressants hindered weight loss, thats all. wonder why my topic got zapped?(prozac vs. weight loss?) when i seen it was gone without an explaintion i just about stopped comming to this board. thank you esper very much for responding!--------------------Mtn.
