Anyway just seeing the change with the tape measure got me fired up....

Eating right, getting water in and working out at the gym.

Doing pretty good here. The loss doesn't really show it, but I am sticking to my calorie intake and working out 6 days a week, I will have a good number by this Friday!!!

wow weird i've really been slacking this week and down 11 pounds....but that might be stress....my girl wrecked my truck (she is fine hardly no damage other then a bumper and broken radiator hose) but after the accident she drive it and now i get to tear apart the motor for repairs......yeah me.....i did not measure this week but the scales showing a lose so i'm kinda stoked about that...
 
Ok, honest here. I did bad over the weekend, but I am back to it now. Probably will have a small gain this week, but I will work it off by next week.
 
Not a good week for me, save a loss.

I worked out Monday, and hurt myself. The Tuesday, started not feeling well. I have an ear infection and all sorts of flu like symptoms. Am on antibiotics, but nose is making me nutz, throat is sore and I got pretty much NO sleep last night.

Because of the injury and illness, not alot of points this week.
 
finally recovered from flu. but spent the week in London on holiday so dieting was hard. managed to walk a bit but it's cold!

=) good going everyone and dont feel too bad, just go slowly at it. I noticed it's better if I try not thinking about dieting.
 
Had a loss, but only .2lbs. Still, I'm ok with it, and happy about how I feel- very energized and motivated! I'm only 3 pts shy of my mini goal of a girls night out- I will work hard this week to get THAT!
 
I didn't change my ticker yet, but weight was 150.6 this morning.
It helps that I am going through a major audit at work which kind of ended yesterday, but now I have to go through another one for the second company I work for. If you want to lose weight fast, just go and request an audit, it will do it!!!! :)

I am still exercising every day at least 45 min. I think I am going to do it this time!!
