I swore I would not buy any new clothes until I am down. I caved at a thrift store that had 50% off day. Got some stretchy jeans for only a couple$. Hang in there folks and thanks for the support. I think you are all awesome.

Originally Posted By csgoofygirl I have a plan for the day. A list of things to do. Dinner is planned. I have a salad in the refrigerator and some veggie soup ready to go for lunch. Meeting friends for coffee this afternoon. Meeting another friend at my house this morning for a possible little job thingie/direct sales. Not sure, but maybe it would be good for me to give it a try. Wasn't perfect food-wise over the weekend, but I wasn't horrible either. Today I hope to do some kind of exercise. Let's all make this a good week.

Originally Posted By iamsally I finally set goals for myself on my WiiActive. And I met two of them today. My hours and #of workouts. Now I just need to finish up the 1000 calories tomorrow. I feel so much better now that I am working out and cutting back. It just makes me wonder why we slip back into old habits. And I wonder this every time I do it. And this time wasn't even bad. We ate a little extra over Christmas but not too bad. The problem was when we got home we kept eating but did not exercise. So hopefully things will go down soon.

I finally let go of my jeans that I could barely get into in Dec 08 as they are now too big/baggy. The interesting thing, for me, that has happened is that I have trimmed up. Not so much with the weight loss as the re gaining of some muscle. Since I HATE exercise I have to give 2 thumbs up to our little Wii for making me do just enough of the exercise mix to make a difference I'm in no way "there" with where I should be, but my slow and steady pace seems to be working and my health is getting better too Have a great day everyone!
Originally Posted By csgoofygirl ^too big clothes! That's a big victory!^ Did pretty good yesterday with the food. I'm going to MAKE myself get on the Wii today. It's just too cold for me to go outside (it's 20 degrees right now). Here's to another good day for us all!

Originally Posted By Tandelothien ^^Yep I cheated yesterday as well but it was Australia Day and BBQ was in the air I'm back on track today and did 15 minutes extra exercise to try and make up for my laps a little. My new inspirational quote for today is from Bruce Springsteen so remember: "Someday girl I don't know when we're gonna get to that place where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun... But till then tramps like us Baby we were born to run."

Originally Posted By iamsally Have been several days in the *zone*, again. The cravings are subsiding, again. I feel much better about myself, again. Lost .7#, again. Seriously, when I felt like I had to have something sweet after a meal the last few days I have told myself no and moved on. Good progress for me.

Originally Posted By csgoofygirl Good job everybody! A friend made the comment to me recently that it's about persistence, not necessarily perfection. I like that. Just keep trying. I have found that since I have no sugary snack food in the house, it's pretty hard to eat it. I don't have a car during the day, so I would have to walk a couple of miles to get it and then I have to decide if I want to waste my exercise points on a sweet sugary snack and since our weather has been so cold, I just stay put. Don't worry, I have food to eat, just not the sugary sweet stuff that I want. I have fruit, yogurt, 94% ff popcorn. But I'm seeing results on the scale! Need to drink more water today!

Originally Posted By MomluvsDisney I routinely fall of my wagon, but I keep getting on it. I like the idea of continued perseverance to reach my goals. The one thing I refuse to do is dwell on my lapses and beat myself up for them. It is pointless and really does not help my progress any. I hope everyone is having a good week. It rained a bit yesterday and is overcast this morning, but god knows California needs the rain. Today I have weight control oatmeal, fruit and soup for meals today. Hurray for us!! We can do anything we put our minds to!
Originally Posted By Tinkeroon I lost a pound! Makes me a happy person today! And makes me glad I did my aerobics yesterday! I really need to beef up my water consumption! You're right about that Smed! Water is fat melting juice! You guys are all doing so well! Awesome work. And if we fall off the wagon...it's not the end of the road...we CAN get right back on! Do not despair MomluvsDisney! We won't leave without you!

And you're right Tinkeroon, no one gets left behind!!!
