I am SO glad the two of you didn't pretty much drop of the face of the earth like I did. If it weren't for the fact of you two sticking it out and posting I wouldn't have this guilty feeling in the pit of my stomach right now!! I got in a bad spot...you know that one...where nothing goes right (in your mind) and you are NOT motivated anymore. Well for the most part I am out of it now...though I am kind of having a blah moment right now. (More to come on the blah moment to come...)
Yesterday I didn't eat so great but I did walk 2.5 miles last night...I even added in a few "sprints". (Talk about dying...)
Today I have eaten fairly well - could have been better: 6 ritz crackers, charbroiled chicken sandwich from Chick-Fil-A, fruit cup from Chick-Fil-A, light yogurt and 3 pieces of peppermint (I could not resist! I love peppermint! LOL!) I went at lunch and did weights. I am not trying to work TOO hard on them as I do not want to bulk but slenderize and help speed up this weight loss. I am going to go to the gym at lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays and do weights. Monday, Wednesday and Friday go to the gym for Cardio. Then on Saturdays...SOME form of exercise even if it is only 30minutes. This past Saturday I went and walked 2 miles. As a little side note...that fruit cup from Chick-Fil-A was like the BEST I have ever had! YUM YUM!
OH I tired to do that Map My Walk link...my street does not show up on there yet so oh well! I tried...very cool link tho'!
I will say...my mouth literally dropped open when I read your comment to Susan re: Size 16!!!! AWESOME GIRL!!! WOOHOO!! Susan your weight loss has been awesome, too! Only to think .... had I just STUCK with mine I would be seeing great results by now, too. SO that is why I am feeling kind of blah...that and the pic I just saw of myself taken a couple of weeks ago...oh Lord...eye opener for sure.
UPDATE: So the above I actually started typing on Tuesday. I ended up being out of work yesterday (and didn't eat well...) because she was sick and had to take her to the doctor (tonsilitis). I am still kind of blah. I just read your Weigh-In Wednesday Traci...I am not afraid to admit...I AM SO JEALOUS!! :-) Eight pounds to One-derland!!! WOW! Happy for you though girl! You deserve it!!! My mom saw your pics on my space and was like we need to do what she is doing MINUS the Big-D. :-) <--Sorry had to. Really though Big D or not you have really done a great job. So pointers please...give us a post on what motivates you and how you make yourself stick to it, etc. What kind of foods you do and do not allow yourself to eat and how often you exercise. I know you posted all this already but TIFFANY NEEDS MOTIVATION!!! You would think surprising my man would be motivation enough...but it hasn't...at first yes but now no. Well I gotta get ready for work....blah, blah, blah. I am supposed to do weights at lunch today but we will see...right now I am ALREADY not feeling motivated. Arghhhh....

Weigh-In
Okay guys..I couldn't way in b/c my scale broke and I am broke right now (hmmm..a bunch of broke things) so I can't buy a new one at the moment..have to wait til friday. I can tell I have lost some though, my pants are falling off my butt, which is a good thing and my bra is too big. However, I wish it would fall off my stomach.
The sugar free double chocolate jello puddings are YUMMY! Also, if you have a publix grocery store in your area there brand diet sweet tea is awesome and 0 points.
Way to go Traci. Keep up the good work!
Tiff....our challenge is still on..right?!

Weigh-In Wednesday: Traci
DOWN 2 MORE!! WOO HOO
I'M FINALLY ON A ROLL (AND NOT A BIG FAT BUTTERY ONE)
I THINK I POSTED MY ORIGINAL STARTING WEIGHT AT 230, BUT IN REALITY MY HIGHEST ALL TIME WEIGHT WAS 232, BUT I LOST 2 OF THOSE BEFORE I STARTED WEIGHT WATCHERS.
SO MY TOTAL LOSS IS 18LBS!!
ONLY 6 WEEKS UNTIL MY BDAY AND HOPEFULLY THAT MEANS 12 MORE LBS DOWN.
I'M SHOOTING FOR 15 THOUGH SO THAT I CAN BE UNDER 200! I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE IN YEARS!

WOW
Wow..way to go Traci! I am proud of you! That is such a great feeling! I am glad you like the grapes. I LOVE THEM in the summer, that and watermelon! Lately I have been cutting up yellow and red bell pepper in strips and snaking on them. In the morning I eat a reduce-fat, whole grain eggo waffle with reduced fat peanut butter. It is only 3 points and is pretty filling. I also tried the weight watchers fruit creamp pops. The berry and orange. They are soo good. The orange tastes like a dreamsicle. Well Ladies..have a great weekend and good luck..the weekends are hardest for me too. I am proud of you guys..keep up the good work!

Congratulations Susan... that's AWESOME!!! BTW, I tried the frozen grapes and they are really good.
Well I had a "non-scale victory" today (that's WW meeting lingo). I have a pair of jeans that have become really tight since I first purchased them last year. I haven't been able to wear them for about 5 months... well guess what I wore to work today... my jeans!! I was so excited. I didn't even have to suck it in to button them. It's amazing what a difference a measily 12 lbs makes!!
Good luck this weekend... it's always my most difficult time when it comes to snacking and eating stuff I shouldn't. I'm really going to do it this weekend!!

Weigh-In
So.. I weighed this morning and I am at 185. Yay! Congrats to you ladies as well. Keep up the good work! Here is a web-site that has a calorie calculator. http://www.self.com/fitness/calculators You just select the activity you did and fill in the info and it counts the calories burned. I use it all the time. Also, the past two weeks I have been parking at the end of parking rows and walking to a store entrance, as well as, taking the stairs instead of an elevator. I have lost an extra pound each week from it. Until next time....happy loosing!

Map your walk...
I found this really cool website called Map My Walk, it allows you to map the route that you walk. For instance when I walk my neighborhood I estimate the miles based on the same drive in my car... but this is much more accurate. For instance, I've estimated my walk to be about 2 miles... but it's actually only 1.6 miles. I've been going to the trail lately and it has markers so that makes it pretty easy, but it's good to know that next time I walk in the neighborhood that I'll know how much I'm really doing. Check out my route...

Considering I gained 3lbs during my little trip to MS, I'm happy to be down, even if it is just one lb. since my last weigh-in 2 weeks ago. I've done really good this week, so hopefully next weeks weigh-in at least 3 lbs.
