ok so yesterday I started as member here I wanted to get started earlier on my goal to be fit. I have one huge obstacle my Grandma sends a huge "care" package every year full of the best of the best. In previous years I would indulge during the holidays and get back on track the first of the year. The year before last after a good amount of weight loss I gained back 12 pounds of the 27 I had lost. To not be a total downer I have been able to maintain that all year with in 1-3 pounds range up and down. I injured my knee and now can only walk instead of run. Sometime this week I may post some pictures of top weight and current picture .....until then here we go:

I guess it's about how susceptible you are to temptation. If you could slowly work at the cookies, for example one for dessert every night, you should do you very little harm (particularly since, unless you're real short, you have plenty of room while eating 1200 cals). But if you're pretty sure you can't do that and will wind up going to town on them all one day, then you either live with that and accept the consequences (which wouldn't be dire) or you could give some away (and keep some for yourself).

Welcome aboard.

I'm so jealous of you folks living in warm weather places. It's only going to get up to 60 degrees here tomorrow. Brrrr. :)
 
Good morning all I have had a weird morning my final grades where posted by my professor and unfortunately you did not turn it in on time so 3 classes where there but one class show "M" which makes me want to scream. So frustrated as this was my final semester, getting for winter break, and this class is part of my bonus for better pay for work........the best part is this was a 10 weeks course so i have been done with it since November 18th. I have been waiting all this time for a grade to post. I earned my A so where is it.
In other news :
yesterday total 1553 calories which was more than I planned but I kept feeling like I was starving all day which is unusual for me.

Actually we have 2 4 day weekends coming up... We will be traveling to Wilmington, NC for the New years well unless the mayans were correct. Have a blessed day all.

so several family dinners cookies galore and more walking than I need to least keep the weight steady at least I can say I did not gain. Merry Christmas all!!
 
Because of news years I missed the weigh in on monday I decided to skip it for this week and weigh in next monday !!!! Happy new year everybody.
 
I missed a couple of days so I thought I would update you on what has been going on with me. My classes started back again yesterday I am still waiting on all my books to arrive courtesy of Amazon I need them yesterday . Anyway I have not weighed myself since dec 28 because we went away on a trip and I am not feeling ultra thin I have been manging my calories and exercise, but with a new internship classes and new year I did not want to be upset. I have felt like I am have a hard time adjusting to my "diet cals" and have been eating what I would to maintain my 130 goal instead. I am sure it stems from the holidays and eatting more. I have been following all the rules except for eatting less to lose more oh well I will reduce by 100 cals next week and weigh on monday to see where I am.
 
monday weigh in a pathetic attempt to lose weight I have stayed the same for almost 30 days

It is a new week! I've had a month here or there where I've struggled to lose just a pound. If you're doing the right things, the scale will move eventually. Keep that chin up! :)
