Oh, P.S. to everyone. I am really big on positive reinforcement, that it sometimes comes off sounding fake, or I may go a bit overboard. If I offend, or bug any of you, just speak up! I promise I won't take offense... just tell me to tone it down a bit, or simply shush up. -

You can do it! You can say you are ashamed of your lack of willpower.... however, despite all the delicious eating you did and no exercise, you still dropped a pound! So that took a reduction of at least 2500 calories! That is HUGE! Don't dismiss your single pound loss- better, waaayyyyy better than a single pound gained!

woo! I was down 4.5 lbs down to....... Go all of us for simply trying to make it better! Even if your numbers didn't decrease, it's all about paying attention and knowing your simply trying to make the effort to eat differently and exercise differently. We should all be so happy with ourselves for being one week in!

I think I give up... my name keeps disappearing. What the heck.

Hey! Happy Monday!!!! I was so happy to see a downward movement on the scale as well. I plan to make it continue that way, as I often psyche myself out, and then watch it creep right back up. Not this time! It's going to continue going down! Way to go us!

Just gorgeous! Reminds me of a bell -
Whoo! There were (delicious looking!) cookies sitting in the office kitchen just now. Everyone was swarming in to grab them, and I just put dressing on my salad and walked away. A couple of the ladies in there congratulated me as I left, for my will power, as they put a couple cookies into their hands. Go my willpower for today!

I got bumped off. I will add myself again.

Alright, how am I doing so far, on the 4th day into this challenge? Outside of the cookie at our department meeting yesterday I have been doing fairly well. Keeping my portions down and avoiding indulging in unhealthy calories out of hunger. Amir and I finally went grocery shopping yesterday. And after spending time diligently going from flyer to flyer to find the best deals, we were able to purchase two weeks worth of food for $105 (from only one store too!). I was quite impressed. And that included quite a lot of fresh fruit and veggies. I can't believe how excited I was to get home and make a giant salad. Today's menu is: Breakfast: yogurt and a piece of fruit Lunch: Salad Dinner: Burritos and dirty rice (small, small, small portion of those) and a salad. Thursday TV Watching Snack: Fruit (not the popcorn, chips, chocolate, candy I so crave and usually indulge in). I doubt I will get to the gym today as they are forecasting a giant storm to hit right smack in the middle of the afternoon and into the drive home, so I am sure after sitting in traffic for an hour to go 10 KM, I won't be in any kind of mood to go further away from home to go to the gym. Maybe I will do sit ups/ jumping jacks while I watch TV tonight- just so I'm not a complete no-go today.

Yeah, it was just one of those moments were a small disagreement turned into a major fight. We don't have them very often, so I guess it was coming. But now things seem to be better, and we're getting back on track of talking to each other without any anger or tension left, so *whew*. I guess the engagement honeymoon face is over! Back to regular two people trying to live and create a life together. That donut did sound evil (but oh so delicious). Thank goodness I don't go to DD. Tim Horton's is bad enough- but my habit of making coffee at home every morning seems to be what has kept me from scarfing down donut after donut every day! (thankful for small blessings!) That is a HUGE pot, and sure makes wanting to lose the weight that much more worth it. Incentive at it's best. Sorry Tammy that your kids are sick... *fingers crosses* that you don't get sick too! Ali- congrats on your FI getting a new job! That is always exciting I completely understand not having the time to get healthy or eat at all. But do try- at least grab a piece of fruit or something, some nutrients, through healthier food, is far better than a quick bag of chips, etc. We know we all gravitate towards those when we are beyond hungry.

Welcome, welcome! I wish I had known we were inviting boys too, but oh well! I am very jealous you had one of those brownie donuts- they sound freaking delicious! I agree, my portion sizes have gotten way out of control as well. The fact that I can eat as much as Amir is a bit scary, when I am 5'4, and he is 6'2. That is not healthy at all, and should hopefully be fixed while we take part in this challenge! Good luck

So the past two days have been pretty nuts. Monday Amir and I had a huge blow out fight, which resulted in us not even eating dinner (or going grocery shopping like we had planned). So yesterday's meals didn't go according to plan, and I ate pretty horribly. Somehow though, I am down 2 pounds already, so who knows. Must not be as bad as I had thought. Today we will be going grocery shopping (thank goodness!), so I can finally get the veggies and fruit I want to bring for lunches and snacking. I don't have a juicer, so those amazing breakfasts I just saw posted are out for me- but wow, you ladies are very creative and so healthy! Good for you!!! How is everyone doing so far?

Congrats! Welcome to BDW! You will find this website sooooo helpful in planning your wedding!

Food front I have been pretty good today. For breakfast all I had time for was a small yogurt- usually try to add in some fruit or something. Had soup for noodle and pea soup for lunch that my grandma made (was expecting to have salad but she warmed it all up for me!), and for dinner I'm not sure yet. Have ground beef out, and had planned ot make burritos. Hmm, Maybe I will have one, and a side salad, while Amir has as many as he wants because he losses weight just thinking about it. How he cut out cigarettes and started eating more and LOST weight, I will never know. I also started a food journal, to see what it is I eat every day. Tough part is being honest in it. But I guess that is what this is all about!

Secret keeper master! But it must be fun to see the changes everyone makes, and look back through each season and see how successful we can be when we put our minds to it!
