Yeah, Melissa!! Awesome about the .6 pound weight loss and the jeans!! I too stepped on the scale (even though Mondays are my weigh-in days) and was encouraged by a .7 pound change (in the right direction this time :)). Woohoo!! Now, Monday is a few days away so who knows what the scale will...

I am trying to focus on eating healthy and not beating myself up because if I focus on the scale, I'll be disappointed LOL! In all seriousness, I really am trying hard to keep my eyes on my long-term goal of being as healthy as I can be. I can't deny that it isn't unnerving to see a little...

Hi ladies, Busy day again today, but I wanted to check in and post my workout/eating. Workout: 30 min run (with the last 10 min consisting of 10x 30 second sprints) - 5 points B: the usual oatmeal MS: Oroweat whole wheat sandwich thins with 1 tsp each of almond butter and reduced sugar...

Hey ladies! Sorry to be MIA again. Life just gets so hectic sometimes! Weigh-in today was not as bad as I'd feared. I stayed the same (well, up by .3, which is essentially staying flat LOL). I would be frustrated by this if it weren't for the fact that I had indulged a lot this week and...

Hope you feel better soon, Sherata!!

You go, girl!! I'm with ya on that one!

Hey everyone! Dinner last night was still pretty costly in terms of points, but I did manage to stick to the best choices I could make (lots of veggies, avoiding or keeping to a bite or two of the sauce-y stuff, fried stuff, etc.). But today is a new day and so far, I'm doing pretty well with...

Happy Tuesday, all! I am done whining and back on the horse (er, so to speak :p). Thank you all for giving me a chance to vent yesterday--now I can concentrate on getting results once more. Here's what today looks like so far: Workout:25 min run (6 intervals in the last 10 min: 30...

Sherata: no being mad at yourself! You've been awesome and such a great motivator for all of us, so you're allowed to cut yourself some slack every once in a while :). The great thing about all of this is that if you fall, you can just get back up on the horse, right? That's what I'm doing...

Melanie: I do eat a lot of 0 point foods, yes. Mostly veggies, though. I am eating more fruit now than I used to, but I'm still trying to keep it to no more than 2-3 cups a day. For veggies, though, I aim for 3-5 cups fresh or steamed/baked/broiled (more if I ate leafy veggies, since 2 cups of...

Funny you mention stress, Sherata--I'm convinced that that and the relative lack of sleep I've gotten over the last few weeks (6-7 hours vs. my usual 7-8) has really had a big impact on my weight loss being derailed. Stress makes you gain belly fat, right? Well that's definitely where I'm seeing...

Ok, I'm officially stumped (not to mention frustrated). Up 2 pounds this week *sigh*. I'm not sure if it's because I started STS and my muscles are adjusting to heavy weights again (and therefore holding on to a lot of excess fluid) or because I switched to counting WP first before counting...

I'd like to lose 10-15 pounds, but at the rate I'm going, this could take 20 years :p.

Hey ladies! Well, I am going to end up using all of my WP and AP this week after all LOL. I did a culinary tour yesterday and I took full advantage--I definitely ate and indulged and promised myself I wouldn't feel guilty because we have to have those treats every once in a while :). I'm going...

Sherata: just you watch, you'll be addicted now :). It starts with a 10K and next thing you know, it'll be a marathon (or two or three :p).

Oops, I never got a chance to come back yesterday to post my food, so I'll do that today :). Workout: 30 min of running (treadmill) + STS meso 1/week1 back/triceps (8 activity points) Breakfast: oatmeal with coconut milk, cocoa, peanut butter, and berries Morning snack: coconut milk...

Hi ladies, Sorry I've been MIA--life is super hectic right now! I've definitely been using my WP and not stressing so much about it. I am making good choices for the most part, but I am letting myself indulge, too. Hopefully that'll result in good changes ;). I'll post my menu later...

Melanie: great suggestions! I'm going to have to rewire my thinking and reach for healthier snacks with my extra points :). Melissa: yeah!! I love when clothes fit better. Never get tired of that result! Off to run for 20 min, then hope on the elliptical for 30.

Aww, thanks for the encouragement, Sherata! I love you guys--all of your positive comments are keeping me motivated. Honestly, if I were doing this on my own, I would be all, "Screw it! Back to the drawing board!" But I'm loving all of the great energy on this thread and I figure as long as...

Melissa: we shall conquer this beast together!! Rah!
