I seem to have come to a bit of a stall with the weight loss, I only lost a pound this week, but hey, at least it's not a gain!

Tink, 20lb by Christmas, I would love that if I could achieve it too!

We can sure give it the old college try! I lost about 10 lbs last year between Nov and Dec. Its doable. We just have to committ--which admittedly is something I suck at. I still eat horribly, just not as often as I used to, and not in such large quantities--usually. However, I've got plans and they don't include weighing over 200 lbs for the rest of my life. So, even if I don't hit my goal...I am not giving up.

There is a hacienda-style house that I just love that is on my way home from the gym. I drive past it everytime I come home cuz I love it so much. Well, much to my surprise, someone was throwing an early Hallowe'en party. There were kids in costumes, grown ups all in wispy black thingies and Hallowe'en decorations all over the house and lawn. I thought it odd that they would be having it on the 2. Maybe it was a b-day party with a H-we'en theme?

That does seem kinda early doesn't it Tink?

Hi Melissa..first of all...are you eating enough throughout the day to stop you from actually being hungry at night? I used to be the worst for late night snacking, but once I started having my 3 meals a day with snacks in between..it helped...if you must snack at night..grab apples, celery, mini rice cakes...something that isn't going to ruin your calories! And make sure you're drinking enough water..it helps keep you feeling full too! =) Good Luck!

Well the keyboard dilemna was low batteries, believe it or not! I surely thought I needed a new one.

I am at the lowest weight so far I have been since 1996! I even weighed during the week seeing the 204's but ended up on weigh in weighing 206.6. Still good! Getting closer to onederland slowly but surely!!! I really believe I can make it by the end of the year as long as I don't have problems with my multiple sclerosis meds. I am sure hoping to see onederland soon!

It is very hard to believe it's October again, already! Time just flies by these days. I miss the days when I was young and time seemed to stand still.

It's great when you hit a goal..being below a weight from that long ago...AWESOME job!!

YAY STACEY!!!! That's awesome! Great job!!

Melissa I often find myself eating a lot at night and I just realized that I think I'm thirsty. I know that didn't sound right but a lot of times I just eat thinking I'm hungry or wanting to eat but really I'm just dehydrated...I tend to drink a lot during the day but not much at night. Everyone's different but maybe try some extra water/drinks at night.

Well happy October everyone! Sorry I've been gone for so long. I went to my Dr. on Thursday and got my stitches out and the all clear to start exercising again. Still pretty sore and grossly out of shape but excited to be able to get out. It has been months since I've been able to exercise so I'm hoping it helps. I did take the girls on a nice long walk Friday, between the gimp leg and 2 flat tires on the jogging stroller we didn't do great but we got out there and tried and that's what counts.
I am FAR from my Christmas goal so it's time to really step it up. But I'm hopeful and motivated so we'll see what we can do here. Have a great Sunday everyone and a great new week!!!

Hi everyone! For late night eating it helps to brush your teeth at night and then you won't want to mess up your fresh minty mouth. It actually helps. Sometimes the sweetness of the toothpaste actually makes me think I am eating something...lol.
