Monday's weigh in post

Hey everyone! I know it's not actually Monday yet, but I thought of putting up a weigh in post, so I figured I'd go ahead and do it.

How has your weekend been? We had lots of people over for lunch today - a 'bring and share' type thing. But we've got so much stuff left over, and it's all cakes and crisps (chips) and stuff, so I think I need to take some of it in to work tomorrow to get rid of it!

My aim for this week is to keep up the exercise and try to stay more in control of my eating.

184. Yeah, nothing is moving. I am really mad about it. I did not meet my goals for the week. Oh well. I guess whinning about it won't make it come off either.

167.2 down 1.4 from last week but I was lower in the week. I came off Phase 1 (deliberately)at the weekend but think I overdid the carbs. Aiming to get back to 164 if I can.
I did go swimming but didn't get the bike out. And I think I achieved my goal of keeping on top of life and not getting pulled down by all the stuff to do. I actually caught up with some things which have been on the to do list for quite a while which was very satisfying.

This week more exercise. Keep going on South Beach phase 2 so be careful of the carbs. No work avoidance snacking.

Nikki don't be discouraged. Don't beat yourself up - today is a new day and a new week.

I am at 143/148/125. Don't even remember where I was last week. All I know is that I have 23 lbs to go to meet goal. So...it's time to get serious. All of my business suits from last year are tight and I need them for work. I've gained 12 lbs over the last year. I've been on phase 1 over the last few days. I'd like to do it for at least a week then back to phase 2 until I reach goal.

Hope everyone has a great week.

196.something. Up about 2lb.

I am sick of this! So fed up with myself. I've put on all the weight I lost in 2007. :(
I know why - I can't keep off the chocolate, cake and biscuits. Do you think I can blame the antidepressants I'm on? Clearly I decide what to eat, so it's not like it's not my fault, but I can't help thinking my appetite went haywire in the last year.

Pigwot you have to stop buying/cooking them. Allow yourself small treats of dark chocolate and be disciplined. you can do it. Hugs.

I am with Elly. They may cause the cravings, but they can't get into your mouth if you don't put them in your house first. I have a really hard time with will power, so I totally understand. You know its a funny rut to get into. (I spend most of my time in this rut.) You know your feel better emotionally if you eat right. When you don't eat right you feel even more down so you eat more to make up for the bad feelings you have. Then you feel really guilty and figure you are not really worth being thin and feeling good about your weight anyway. Am I right? I know that is how I feel when I am in a rut like that. I hate that feeling and I would bet just about anyone would, but knowing how to get out of it isn't enough. You have to decide that this isn't what God wants for your life right now. See, if we are so self-focused, we take away from what we give the Lord. Just give it to Him and let him deal with the emotional needs while you deal with better choices. Good luck, I will totally pray for you! Hang in there. I am so glad that we can all be so honest with eachother.

Elly, mostly I don't buy them or cook them! There are too many places I go with sweet foods on offer - like lunchtime at work or sweets at Rev.

Thanks Nikki. You're right. I need God to help me break the cycle.

190/181/179(stg)
Down 2.8

I'm so close to getting into the 170's. Gosh, I've been working to get out of the 180's for almost 1 year now, maybe next week I'll have a breakthrough.

Actually, I did see 170's Saturday morning, but then the weekend happened. :-)

Nikki, you are so right...I really need to stop and pray and offer up my cravings before I dive in to those pints of ben and jerry's.

Hey, I give the advice I should take! I went off the pill this week so we will see if that helps. I hope it does, but I need to get back on track too. I have been pretty bad the last few days. Tomorrow I plan to be good, move my butt and drink some water!
