Today is my weigh in day. My scale at work says down 5, at home I think I am down about 3. All I am really hoping for is 1 and I would be happy! With it being that TOM, that will make me very happy lol.


I went to Victoria's Secret last night to buy some new bras. I have lost a lot in the "girls" and was starting to flip out. My friend Craig sent me on a mini shopping spree. I picked out a few nice things. One of their "Very Sexy" bras in a beige color. It plunges really low in the front and pushes the rest up so it's cute I also got another pretty pink one but it was too big :(.


So I am going to return it, I am going to try and pick out one of their Angel bras. I wanted to feel girlier, since none of my clothes have been fitting and such. So this helped a little.


I am going to stay on track today. Had yogurt, and I am thinking some black bean soup for lunch. Than off to weigh in!


Good luck everyone today. It's almost Friday!!!!!!

Way to go, Jodi and Shawna! I had an "off" day yesterday, but figured out why. I realized (it was sort of an "ah ha" moment) that when I eat sugar or something sweet (even nutra sweet) it totally triggers a bad eating event. I noticed it yesterday after I had some Kettle corn made w/splenda. Totally triggered sweet cravings....I hadn't had anything sweet Mon or Tues and had NO cravings.

So today I am back to staying away from the sweet stuff. I'm weighing tomorrow, so I don't freak out today.

Congrats on the new lingerie, the weight loss and everyone doing great this week.

Great job Shawna!!!!!!!!


I know what you mean Dawn if I do salty stuff, I can go into a huge tailspin my body just wants to eat everything salty. !! So I try to stay away as best as I can or down the water after to kind of flush it out.


Enjoy you'e time with Tina. I am helping out a group at the gym this weekend who has over 100 #s or more to loose. They have been seeing my progress at the gym and asked if I would do a group jog with them. So I said I would on Sunday I am also going to take them through what I did when I first started out. I am not a trainer so I am not going to tell them what to do, but I think sometimes if you have a lot to loose and try a trainer they can seem overwhelming.

That;s so cool, Jodi. It must make you feel really good to know you're an "inspiration" to those women. You've done so much and come so far, I know they'll get alot of your jog.

Hey Shawna, do have fun w/'tina! Hope the weather is good and you guys have fun!

Man, I wish it was FRIDAY!!!

I feel good about it since it is the right thing to do, I suppose I am kind of shy and this might break me out of that a little. I work out with all men and don't know a lot of people. You never know maybe I could make a friend.


I will jog with them. I normally do a pretty aggressive run, but after the marathon I wanted to taper off anyway. So I am looking forward to working out with them.


Trainers at the gym are quite expensive and sometimes a little aggressive for people who may not be ready for that. All I can show them is what has worked for me so far and hopefully help them along a little :)
