I'm bound and determined to lose 20 pounds for my beach wedding! All I want is to strut my stuff in a bikini around the pool and on the beach. I don't want to have to worry about my mom, his mom, my sisters, or his sisters looking better than me on my wedding day! Most of all I just want to be comfortable enough to not worry about my cotto @ss and just enjoy the moment.
I will be following weight watchers to reach my goal of 120 pounds by December....hopefully sooner but I do actually have that much time to reach my goal. That is PLENTY of time to lose weight in a slow and steady-healthy/not come back sort of way. And I refuse to wait till November to start starving myself.
I will also be working out at the gym at least 3 times per week...three 30 minute sessions of cardio as well as three 45 minute sessions of weight lifting.
My biggest challenge is WEEKENDS! I seem to eat great and work out all week long and then the weekend hits and all rules go flying out the door. I have to stop this bad habit. I'm going to have to try to stay away from alcohol...which isn't too TOO hard but definitely a bit of a challenge.
1. Weekends <=> Weekdays (there should be no difference)
2. Alcoholic beverages are only allowed if there is room for them within my points.
3. I have to get control during PMS!!
So here goes. First challenge is to lose 10 pounds in 10 weeks starting today (Monday 6-26-06)
I'm psyched and excited.....1-2-3 BREAK!!!!

So far so GREAT! Today was a good first day. I stayed exactly within my points and I also included my 5 fruits and veggies, which is great.
No gym today but no biggie...I'll make it tomorrow for lifting arms and 30 minutes on the treadmill.
I'm extremely puffy still from my really bad weekend and TOM...need to drink tons tomorrow to try to de-puff.
I feel good though, I wasn't ever really hungry. I planned ahead and it worked out perfectly.
Now all I need is to be as concerned about my Patho test as I am about my weight....Jeez.

Today was another really good food day. I was exactly on point. I didn't make it to the gym but I didn't have time because I ended up studying instead...so it was a good trade considering what a procrastinator I am lately.
I've already lost most of my bad weekend weight. I'm feeling a lot less puffy too.
This weekend might be a hard one. I think we might be going camping. First of all there won't be many food choices and there will also be an abundance of alcohol. I'm thinking I might just eat really light low point foods all day and then bring some South Beach Diet Bars up with me and have that and a couple cocktails for dinner. I really don't know how I will be able to avoid drinking on a camping trip. How can I sit around a fire and not drink??? I'll figure something out.

Bri -
No problem with varying things at weekends - so long as you PLAN it.
Weekends are when I have my lapse days (I eat food that I don't have during the week). That's something to look forward to, and one less reason to get bored with a diet and 'fall off the wagon'.
Good luck.

Thanks Nevd....yeah I think I will do a lot better if I plan my weekend...as much as I can with going camping. I just wish that alcohol wasn't so BAD!! I honestly don't drink that much, maybe 1-2 times a month on the weekend but it's such an easy way to completely ruin all dieting efforts.
I was down to 139 this morning so that's good. My skirt is making me feel chubby today though because it puffs out a little on the hips. I realize that it's the skirt, not my actual hips but still.
I was in such a hurry when I left for work that I forgot to grab the snack that I had planned...grapes and a South Beach Diet Bar. I was even in such a hurry that I didn't grab my cookies that I had worked into the plan. Wow. I did remember the diet bar though..... just not the grapes and I'm hungry and won't even be home until around 7 probably after I take a test. So I'll have to be extra conscious not to shove my face with the first thing I see when I get home, which I have a problem with when I'm really hungry.
Anyways. this has been a good food day so far. I've already had about 10 cups of water so that's great.

This morning the scale was down to 138.8....I really have to stop weighing myself every morning, I've become quite obsessed. Anywho, it's a good number. I did well today. For it being a Friday I'm surprised at how easy it has been. I tried to eat pretty light during the day so I would have extra points to use later on, since I know that that is when I usually like to use them.
At dinner I still had over half of my points left. I got to have a popsicle after dinner and then popcorn later on during a movie. Good Job me!
It feels good to be back on point!!
Turns out no camping trip this weekend so I don't have to worry about that anymore even though I am disappointed, I was looking forward to it. Oh well...more time to study...pathetic.

Ok so the weekend turned out to be.....ok. I had a few cocktails last night, which wasn't TOO bad but it led to a little bit of a binge when we got home. It could have been a lot worse though so I feel ok about it.
When I woke up this morning, the scale was at 139.8 surprisingly. I thought for sure it would be higher than that. I made sure to be really good today since my weigh in is in the morning. I feel good about 139.8 but when I put that into the weight tracker it's going to only show a loss of .2 which sucks. So I've been trying to drink a lot of water and I plan on drinking more before bed so that hopefully I can make that number lost a tiny bit higher.
Overall, I feel like it was a pretty good first week. On Saturday morning we went to breakfast and I managed to only have coffee and then ate breakfast when I got home. So that was quite a breakthrough for me.
Next week, I'm going to try to work out more. My goal will be going to the gym twice and doing at least 45 minutes of cardio each time. I just haven't had much time for the gym lately with it being summer mid-term. So I'll work on it.

Well today was good until I got home. I had to go take a test right after work and I was Starving by the time I got to the testing center. I still needed to study for about 45 minutes before I even took the test so I was there for about an hour with my stomach growling.
Then when I finally got home it was a lot later than I had expected and we had to leave again in only 20 minutes and I only had 6.5 points left so there weren't too many options, especially in a hurry.
I decided to heat up some beans and make burritos but then in my starving-ness I started eating a ton of cheese while grating it. I figure I ate about 2 oz of cheese and I don't really know if that's a good estimate or not??? Then I ate 2 burritos complete with cheese and sour cream and I was so hungry that I ate them both in a matter of probably 7 minutes. If I wasn't eating so fast I could have maybe realized that one burrito was more than enough.
So today I went about 13 points over my daily allowance....which is #%@&! considering I wanted to save extra points for the BBQ tomorrow.
I usually do way better when I have everything planned out and I plan what I will eat if I am in a hurry. So I am going to go plan my day for tomorrow right now while I'm thinking about it and hopefully that will help me to make better choices tomorrow.
Also, I did not record my weight this morning because it was at 140.2, and I'm mad about that. I figured I would just drink a ton of water today so that in the morning it was down a bit because I swear I really am less than that. But then I had my issues today so tomorrow I will record my real weight and quit lieing to myself.

The 4th of July was quite a disaster. I had planned everything out including alcoholic beverages and it was a pretty good plan. I even volunteered to bring watermelon and I was going to bring my own meat so I knew exactly what I was eating. Well, then I got to the BBQ and all this yummy food was set out and I was starvin marvin. Then I slowly started eating shrimp and this yummy dip. Then as I drank my drinks....a few in.....I pretty much just stopped caring and started eating and drinking like crazy.
I ate a ton of food and mixed a ton of drinks all in a matter of like 4 or 5 hours. I had 2 Bacardi silvers, 2 Smirnoffs, 1 Margarita, 1 Bud Light, 1 cider beer thingy, and also had some wine!!! Talk about a bad combination!!! And a lot of points!!! Really really bad.
The next day (yesterday) I felt absolutely horrible. I was all bloated like crazy, felt nauseous, had the worst headache ever and was really tired. So um...yeah I made some bad choices.....ehhhhh.....
Yesterday I was back OP, went over by 2 points which I feel ok about. Today I am doing well. Also considering getting my butt to the gym after taking a close to 2 week break. I feel like if I really want to lose weight that I HAVE to be working out. It's just not enough for me to eat well. I'm one of those people that has to really really work to not get fat....so I need to really really work to lose weight.
So anyways, this is a lifetime thing and I can't really expect to never have bad days ever again. I think that while I am trying to lose, I probably should ban alcohol. Maybe I will think about making that a new goal of mine. Maybe I can have one bingy alcohol night once a month....or something like that, I'll have to think about it. I should get my sister in on it too since normally when I drink it's because she's feeding me the drinks.
I found the best new motivational saying:
"You only get married once. Don't do it FAT!!"

It's possible to exercise effectively without ever setting foot in a gym, by using water filled plastic bottles. Just about anything you can do on apparatus can be replicated with the aforementioned bottles.
Re. your problems with grumbling tum, then overeating: as I mentioned in my previous post, planning is the key to success. If you always carry something good and nourishing with you, it's less likely you'll go 'over the edge' and then overeat as a reaction.
For a great snack that you can take with you for just such occasions, check out my Chocolate/banana oatcake recipe in the veggie recipe section of this very forum!
I use Holland and Barrett chocolate protein powder in mine, but others who didn't complained of a lack of chocolatey-ness that required addition of cocoa powder to make up the taste shortfall. If you can't get H & B, then bear that in mind, to avoid disappointment.
I did try the recipe with strawberry protein powder. It was okay, but didn't have the same rewarding 'hit'. My friend Roy liked it, but then he's not keen on chocolate, so he's hardly typical!
Best of luck at avoiding the 'munchies' in future,
NevD

Bri,
I'm glad to see a fellow weight watcher on this forum. 20 pounds by December is a reasonable goal. I lost 34 pounds since March!
If you peek at my diary, the alcohol thing hits me hard, too. If I really conscientiously have one beer and stop, I'm ok. If I save my points and say "I can have a few", I end up completely blowing it big time.
I exercise at home, because there is no way to fit the gym into my schedule. I have some good exercise videos that I can pop in the DVD player and I don't have to travel. There are lots of exercises that can be done by lifting against your own body weight, you don't even need weights or equipment...just comfy clothes and good athletic shoes.
My goal weight is approximately my wedding weight. Good luck reaching your goal. My wedding pictures are my inspiration to keep working hard. Once you get there...STAY THERE!!! I wish I had.

Thanks again for your thoughts Nevd. I'll have to check out that recipe, it sounds yummy. Usually, if I'm being smart, I'll carry a South Beach Diet Bar with me in my purse just in case I start to get hungry. They are really tasty and they have some protein and fiber so they actually hold me over for a couple of hours.
Last summer I was in my usual anti-gym state so I started running at the park that was near my home (moved since then, very sad) I would run there almost every day after work. I loved it. I got really good at it too. Towards the end of summer I could run like 4 miles and on the days that I couldn't run I craved it. It was almost like I got addicted. Anyways, I think about starting that back up nearly every day and then I just don't. I even bought some new capris to work out in cause that usually motivates me but...nothin. Do you ever just get into a lazy rut that you can't break out of. I know that once I start I normally can't stop but it's the "start" that's hard to do. Maybe this weekend I can push myself out the door for a run....we'll see. I know I would feel a lot better....I have a very anxious tendency and it has been worse lately and I blame it on my lack of excercise.

| Today was another great day. I had 22.5 points which was perfect. I'm a little hungry right now so I'm going to get in bed. I've found it a lot easier lately to not eat at night. I think I've developed a new habit of being done after dinner....and a WW popsicle...mmm mmm. So good for me. I'm tired....test tomorrow.

So I feel like I have been doing exceptionally well. I had a pretty good weekend. Saturday night we had to have pizza so I got a huge salad with the plan to just have one piece of pizza. Yeah that didn't quite work out but it didn't go too bad either. I ended up having 2 pieces of pizza and a few pieces of cheesy bread. The points weren't near as bad as I thought they would be though so it wasn't too bad and the next day I wasn't even up on the scale.
Sunday morning we went to breakfast and I denied my urge to order a scone with tons of honey butter and I just had coffee then ate oatmeal when I got home. That was a great success for me, I was proud.
After my good weekend, the scale was down to 138.2 this morning which was really good. I was excited but tomorrow will be my official weigh in so we'll see. I'm hoping that the .2 will be gone in the morning and I was really good today so we'll see what happens.
I also ordered the workout videos called "Yoga Booty Ballet" today. I'm so excited to get them. They should be here in 5-7 business days so I guess that means sometime next week probably wednesday or thursday. I can't wait, it looks like it will be really fun and I've been really struggling to get to the gym lately. I don't know what my deal is.
I also have a little incentive going with my fiancee...when I get to 135, I have to keep it there for a week (or go down of course) and then he will do all the chores that weekend. May sound dumb but oh my gosh I am the LAZIEST person on the weekend. And I HATE laundry with all of my heart!!! So that's something to think about plus he has been really helpful lately in being really supportive. He reminds me in the nicest way about how disappointed I always am on Monday after blowing everything on the weekend. It really reminded me and helped me a few times over the weekend and that's why I think I was able to do so well.
This coming up weekend will be the test. We're going camping. My plan is going to be to eat super light during the day so that I can have some Coronas at night. They are the lowest point beer so I figure I can have a few without using way too many points. So that will be the plan, I feel pretty confident about it.
YAY ME!

Good luck with your little "deal". 135 is my goal weight, so I'd love to be where you are. Here's to no chores!
Congrats on the sensible eating. I take credit for all the little victories, too. Sometimes they're the only things keeping me on track!

I feel really fat right now...I just went shopping. I have to get some things for Mexico now since when we go it will be the middle of winter and I won't be able to find anything. So I've been looking for swimming suits, tank tops, and warm weather things. Nothing like a shopping spree to make you feel good and FAT! The funny thing about feeling fat is that it makes me feel more hopeless than anything...not like I should try harder....Okay actually just writing out those words made me realize how ridiculous that is. I should go running tonight. I know exactly what I need to do to look the way I want to look but it's just really hard to do.
I had a semi-binge last night. My fiance wasn't home, which is definitely not a good excuse but I was bored and avoiding homework so I ate things that I shouldn't have. Granted, it was mostly good stuff like a 100 cal pack of Oreos and light string cheese and some saltine crackers...luckily there isn't much in my house that could set me too far over the edge. But still, I went further over on my points than I wanted to and went to bed feeling full and bloated and gross.
We have a family reunion coming up next weekend and it's at a water park! :( I hate myself in a swimming suit right now. My stomach and butt look flabby and I have love handles that are just reallly not cute in a swimming suit at all. I'm meeting Derrick's real Mom for the first time and she's a personal trainer who can apparantly do like a million push ups and I have to meet this woman for the first time wearing a swimming suit. Ehhhhh yuck! Not looking forward to it at all.
I want to be at 137 on Tuesday so I'll need to work really hard this weekend to get that. I seem to not have a hard time going between 142 and 138 but I don't think I've ever seen 137 so I will be really excited. One pound a week really isn't too much to ask.

If Oreos is good stuff, what would count as bad stuff? Please correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it was just bad-stuff, with some portion control. (like me, an hour ago, weighing 6.81g of crackers made from refined wheatflour)

At least this time you limited your binge! Keep trying, you can elimiate them completely!!!! you can do it!

Hey Nir--So Sooooooorrrry...maybe my wording wasn't the best. It wasn't GOOD stuff that I ate but I guess what I meant was that it could have been way worse. I guess what I consider bad would be maybe pizza or regular cookies or chocolate or a whole loaf of french bread....these kinds of things...and as elliptical explained, my 100 cal pack of Oreos weren't actually Oreos...thin wafer type thingy's that have a taste that resembles the chocolate part of Oreos. Thank you very much. :) I'm totally joking. I appreciate any type of comment so thanks.

I'm really sick of thinking about food all the time. Does anyone else feel that way? My body feels really good and I really do like the new changes I have made but I just wish I could have those changes in my life without thinking about it ALL of the time!! I wish I could just eat when I was hungry without thinking about how many points was in it..I wish my brain would just calculate automatically like a robot. lol. Or maybe a little guy sitting on my shoulder could keep a points calculator with him and do all the math for me. That would be nice. I'm a complainer.

Bri, I already thought of a diet stenographer/secretary. Wouldn't it be great to just have a personal secretary to do all your tracking, take notes, dictation, etc. and not judge what's actually going in your mouth?
When you have a binge, it could be documented. All you would have to do is say "what was I thinking when I ate that?". Your secreatry could say "According to my notes, you just got off the phone with your mom and she really aggravated you by complaining about your___ (fill in the blank)." Then you would be reminded to avoid that conversation the next time you talk to Mom.
Would it be too much to ask for him/her to periodically give words of encouragement/inspiration?
Alas, the cost of having a diet secretary is too prohibitive. If I had that kind of money, I wouldn't need to work and I could spend all my time on me. Personal trainer, chef, spa, plastic surgeon, you name it!
There is something uniquely satisfying, though, about losing weight and getting in shape yourself. You know the mastercard commercials...Turbo Jam videos $100, workout clothes $80.00, healthy foods $110 per week...Fit Body...priceless. Ahhh.

Bri I hear you  BIG TIME! I think thoughts of food now consume most of my brain activity most of the day .....its horrible .....i cant say that i OBSESS...but its pretty darn close! I am constantly calculating and planning and trying to NOT destroy the day with naughty foods ....
Skipper, if only I were rich.....i would DEFINATELY need one of those fitness/nutrition stenographers that shouts out words of encouragement at times....the times when I need it most!
 We can do it......we are STRONG women!!!! ( this is my optimism plug for the day....now I'm drained!!!)

You guys are hilarious!! I love it! Thanks for putting that idea into my head, Skipper. Now I feel like I just can't live a happy life without hiring a Diet Secretary. That's the best idea I've heard in a long time! I wonder how much I could hire one for. lol.
Yesterday I went shopping some more for Mexico clothes and at one point I was looking in the mirror at this shirt that I kinda liked but didn't really love and I was contemplating if I should get it or not and then I had this thought like, "ehh, who cares, I'll just get it, might as well at this point." (because I've bought so many tank tops that I don't even have anything to go with them, I don't know what my problem is, I just keep on buying tank tops, I can't even help myself.)
Anyways I had to laugh because I felt like it was the same sort of thoughts I have when I'm eating horrible on the weekend or on a "holiday" or something like that when I've just given myself permission to not care.
I don't really have a point....maybe just that I have the wrong attitude towards things like shopping and dieting. That's it. P.S. I got the shirt. I put it on again when I got home and I don't really like it anymore. eh what can ya do....

I had a really really bad weekend. Where to even start....Friday night I had sushi and then I had no-bake cookies when I got home. I put way too much oatmeal in them so they weren't even good but I still managed to eat like 4! The next morning I started out pretty good but I wasn't feeling good at all...I didn't know if it was the sushi or what but my tummy was not one bit happy.
Later that day, we went camping. I sat in the car for 2 hours and my stomach was still hurting me so I drank lots of water hoping that would help. On the way up, my sister was being a complete biotch and by the time we met up with the others I was about ready to kill her....so I started drinking, even though I still didn't feel good. I only had a beer and a half and stopped cause I was feeling worse.
Dinner consisted of lots and lots of chips in all different flavors...yuck...and some polish dogs that had been cooking in tons of BBQ sauce...mmm those were yummy....but got to me a few hours later when I couldn't sleep because I thought I was going to hurl! I felt HORRIBLE!!
The next mornig I was feeling a little better, breakfast was at a little cafe, I had scrambled eggs and toast and some potatoes. After I had eaten about half of the eggs I notice a big disgusting puddle of grease that was underneath them, totally grossed me out and I couldn't eat them anymore. Then I ate a shake to top it all off with reeses pieces. lol. I was really bad. Then I ate some mozzarella sticks later on when we stopped for lunch, I still wasn't hungry from all that I ate at breakfast.
So that's the gist of my bad weekend. I actually didn't know just how bad it was until I just typed it all out. The funny part about it all is how completely #%@&! I felt the entire time. I think my body is getting used to the healthy way that I have been eating (most of the time) now for almost a month so I think I freaked it out when I started putting all that #%@&! stuff into it.
Anyways, I'm doing good today and trying to get my stomach back to normal. I couldn't eat breakfast this morning but I'm trying to get lots of fruits and veggies in. Blah what a bad weekend.
This week I have PMS. Right now I'm feeling fine but I assume that's because I already had my fair share of cheating. We'll see how the rest of the week goes.
My weight was up to 140.8 this morning and I'm sure that a lot of it is water and other things, I doubt that it's all actual fat. I think I will record it though for ww, I don't want to lie.

C'mon, pick yourself up, Bri.:P
I had one really bad day this weekend, too. It's somewhat cathartic to type it out. Plus, now you have it recorded and you can use it to remind yourself WHAT NOT TO DO. I blew through 24 flex points in one day. (My daily total is only 22). After I recorded everything, I remembered that I had a cooky and a helping of marinated artichoke hearts that I didn't count. I spent a lot of time swimming and I exercised, so I didn't record the points. I figure it evened out in the end. Still, a 46 point day is pretty harsh!
Get back on the wagon! I'd give you a push if I could!

Wow this week has gone by really fast. It's already the weekend again. Anyways, I have done well this week. I got my Yoga Booty Ballet so I have been doing that. I finally started excercising again so hopefully that will have an impact on my weight loss, maybe I could lose all that extra weekend weight from last week.
I did an hour of YBB around noon...it had a warmup, a sculpting section, a cardio section, ballet section, and yoga section. It kicked my butt I was sweating like crazy. It felt good though.
Then later on I did another half hour workout which was this cabaret cardio workout. It was really fun. So I am really enjoying my new fun DVDs.
This weekend I'll be at a family reunion. I'm honestly not even worried though. I'm sure I won't eat way healthy because I won't have control over what we will be eating but after how #%@&! last weekend made me feel, I know that will help me to not go overboard on anything.

After a couple weeks of complete un-motivation, I'm jumping back on the wagon tomorrow. I am making some changes that I think will help me stay motivated.
1. I am removing my scale from my bathroom and I will only be weighing myself every two weeks. I've become obsessed with the scale sometimes weighing myself every single morning and stressing about every single slight move.
2. I ordered a ww calculator that I can take with me anywhere so I can calculate points no matter where I am so when I'm feeling too lazy to get on the computer to calculate, I won't have to.
3. I'm making myself a more attainable goal so it doesn't feel so hopeless. So my new goal is to lose 10 pounds, instead of 20.
4. I'm taking measurements and will also be measuring them every 2 weeks to see the progress I make in inches even if there isn't any in pounds.
5. This is the most important part. I'm getting my lazy butt back to the gym!! I pay a membership fee every month for a reason and I should really be trying to get my money's worth. I'm always either working out really hard and not eating very good or I'm eating really good but not working out so it never really works out the way I would like it too but I know that if I put them both together, I will get some progress for sure. So my goal is to do Yoga Booty Ballety 3 times a week and to do a half hour of cardio either at the gym or go jogging 3 times a week.
So those are my new rules and I think it will go a lot better. So I'm back on starting tomorrow. I feel like I should do some sort of cheer....(1 2 3..) GO MEEEEE!!!!!
