It's fixed for me now :p

Yep, my screen looks fine again too ... thanks to all for getting it fixed!

maddy, taking a break is actually good for the muscles now and then, it gives them time to rebuild and rejuvenate. 23 days in a row is amazing!

Osuche, wonderful that you are continuing to be able to be off the meds, congrats!

IAKG ... I'm ignoring that reference to ice cream ... one of my all time total weaknesses is ice cream and even with the low cal versions, I eat it til it's gone most of the time, so I wouldn't even dare have it in the house - at least not for quite awhile yet ... but good to know when I have to have it and can't hold out anymore, there's a better alternative!! :)

Tonight I'm on the high end of my calorie range, but still inside it ... somedays you just need a bit more I think, that's the purpose of having a range I think! Anyway, hope you all have a great Thursday!

Thanks fzzy... I found the link that Maddy mentioned and fixed it so it wasn't tweaking the screen.

I got back on the treadmill tonight, not quite as long as I had been a few days ago... but got a good little walk in before American Idol came on.

I had a highly positive day today and I'm hoping it carries over to some of the frustrations my scale has been providing me as of late. And to add to that positivity today - I had another person remark to me today about my noticeable body change... that's highly encouraging and motivating to me. That's a whole TWO now :). Many people have observed the change of my eating habits, but few have remarked that they see a change in my image/shape/size.

Way to go maddy!! And glad you had a great day!

I was so busy at work today that I got home tonight and realized I didn't stop even to grab something to eat for lunch ... so busy that I didn't even realize it til I went to record what I had eaten during the day ... and even with that, I was fine when I got home, didn't overeat, just had a quick snack to get me through til dinner time and ate a regular dinner for me .... am ending the day in the 1600-1700 calorie range again. Off to bed now. :)

I went out to dinner last night and Between Mr Osuche and I we managed to polish off *two* small loaves of Itialian bread and some olive oil. Of course, then we were both too full to eat our dinners, so we took a couple of bites and had them packed up. :p

All in all, not a good calorie day...I think I ended up at 2100, and 1100 of them were dinner. Yikes! But I will be better today.

My one redeeming thing was that I worked out and burned about 450 calories on the stairmaster....so maybe I won't suffer too much from the over eating.

Today is my last day to study before finals, so I suspect stress may get to me. I need to watch myself today.

PS -- Still med free. :D

I think I'm changing my weigh in day - I seem to have really good scale days on Saturdays. I'll think about that some more throughout the day before I commit to it.

Today is a great day - the weather is beautiful and I've got a lot accomplished already. I just got down with my shower and thought it was time to pull out the next size smaller jeans and give them a try. They fit, sorta. I can get them on and fastened - just they are much tighter in the thigh than I like - another week or so and they will be the new jeans and I will have to find another cheap pair to shrink into. So today I have the ones on that are quickly becoming too big, along with the belt I purchased sometime in January. I'm up to notch 4 (started in the first notch) with only one more remaining before this belt is history.

With today's victories I'm about 6 lbs away from the first goal I set for myself to have met by the first weekend of April.

osuche - great job with the meds - it must be a tremendous feeling of joy and accomplishment.

fzzy - odd how sometimes we get so busy we don't think about eating... sometimes my brain waits too long to give me the message about needing food and then I feel like I could eat a horse.

I ate junkie today and so I feel bad but I was 8 calories under my goal still so I figure I still have a tic tac or two coming :p

osuche ... hope the finals went/go great!

maddy .... great news ... postive changes are accumulating!!!

Lil ... lol ... give me those calories, I ended up 5 over last night! :)

Still have to eat my dinner and probably an evening snack, but I have almost 900 calories left for the day, so I should be ok.

ended up slightly under the top of my calorie range yesterday ... and then today did much better ... in the 1600-1700 range again .... heading off to bed now ... YEAH!!!! most of us have now completed 10 weeks ... I'm so amazed at that ... can't believe I've made it so long and still feel ok about the whole process! Thanks everyone ... SOOOO much!!!

I don't feel so good today. I had no breakfast (unusual for me), a couple Dews (normal for a Sunday), a granola bar, a package of Grandma's chocolate/chocolate chip cookies, a package of pop-tarts, and then I also had a large chocolate milkshake, a Sourdough Jack hamburger, and a large fry for dinner. Add the stress of the today's workday to that and BAM!... unhappy Aqua tummy. :(

I ate out too much thise week and made poor choices I had a gain :(

(((Lil)))
No time like the present to get back on track.

You can do it!

I've been happy dancin' all weekend. I finally broke through the 20lb loss mark - I've been skirting on the edges of it for 2+ weeks and it's been highly frustrating. I also broke through a "decade" at the same time. I had a "good" loss this week of 3lbs, it makes up for the frustration of the past two weeks.

I'm not sure what my problem was yesterday - most of the day I was incredibly hungry (stomach growling and pains) but couldn't pinpoint what it was that I wanted. Everytime I went to the kitchen to find something to eat nothing looked appealling. I finally got my appetite back at dinnertime and ate like a pig.

Yay Maddy! Excellent progress!!
