As much as I love yanking the chain on telemarketers I don't do the same face to face so I wind up hiding from the JWs too.

lol. I looooove studying religion, its so fascinating. I believe in God, but I don't like to associate myself with a religion. Conformity scares me.

Hey girlie, congrats on the weight loss! Don't be upset that its "only" a pound, better a pound off than a pound on right? And those 1 pounders add up! So be proud of yourself.

As for the Curves contest, it still sounds pretty darn good to me. Bummer for me though! Sounds like an amazing incentive, TV add to show off all your hard work AND a thousand bucks! I like that!
 
Changed my ticker, like it? lol. Thanks for the support guys! Soo.. my food for today, I'm doing it now so I'm not tempted to eat anything else...

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich - 200 Cals.
Banana - 105
Pizza - 390
Banana - 105
Orange Chicken Meal- 390
Peanut Butter Cookie - 120
Ice Cream - 170

Total: 1480 Cals.

Exercise today: Curves, Crunches and I plan to do an hour of aerobics in a bit...but now broke out an oldie and listening to the presidents of the united states of america...looove it. :D Plan on doing some work and maybe watch a movie later. Have a good night everyone. :D
 
Your ticker is very pretty...as far as the oldies...ya knwo that commercial where he is head banging and singing to Warrent, Cherry Pie...I LOVE THAT...Everytiem I hear it it makes me wanna go out and buy it!!! I use to own it back in the day, lol
 
I keep flip-flopping between 286 and 290. It's been like this for 2 or 3 weeks, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm gonna give it another week and if it continues I'm seriously going to reevaluate what I'm doing...
 
I think I'm setting myself up for failure in a way, I'm being way too hard on myself lately which is making me obsess, weigh myself nearly every time I walk into the bathroom, and I think its making me WANT to overeat, to sort of sabotage myself. The difference between me, and the me from last month (that was losing weight steadily) is that now I'm NOT expecting to lose weight instead of knowing that I'll lose weight.

Things that I'm going to do today.

1. Throw out the scale. It's kind of broke anyway, its old, and I shouldn't be relying on it. I'll weigh myself at Curves from now on, once a week.
2. Stop eating lots of sugar, its my weakness, I need to seriously cut it out some of the things I eat.
3. Eat enough. I'm rarely in the caloric range I need to be in. SparkPeople says 1400-1900 or something like that.
4. I want to start regularly exercising twice a day. Curves and Aerobics. Not because I want to lose a lot of weight fast, but just because it makes me feel really good.
5. Drink more water. I've been drinking about 66oz of water a day, I was drinking 100oz a day.
6. Stop obsessing, I don't want a diet to rule my life, I don't want my life to revolve around my diet the way it has been.
 
you know i've been yoyoing around 160-158 for about an entire month now-and I am so fed up about it, i think my problem is similar to the -not expecting to lose weight-thing you were talking about, i need to make sure to be serious about everything i do.

and another thing to think about: the only person making it hard for you is yourself-the hardest opponent to beat!
 
Just did a SparkPeople thing again, and I added in Aerobics and Curves and it says that I should be eating anywhere between 1980 - 2330 calories a day! Okay, I'll do that. I'm going to try it for a week and see how it goes. I'm also going to track my fat, carbs, etc. I need to get this under control and keep myself on a steady routine.
 
Just threw my scale out. It's gone. I feel sort of lost without it now, lol, THAT's how much I weighed myself. No more. I feel cleansed though... it was something that was definitely making me obsess.

Hello! Congrats on your weight loss.

I can't agree more strongly about cutting back on sugar. I am sure that was the main thing that put me on track for weight loss. I must have been eating 500-1000 or more calories of sugary junk daily. No wonder I blimped up to the weight I did. Once I cut out the sugar out all together I started feeling a LOT better, losing weight, and most importantly, stopped actually WANTING sugar.

It feels weird to me after the habits of a lifetime to be able to easily pass up sugary treats.
