Just to get it started. Red plan, no lites.

7/5, joined up. 253.6 lbs.
7/10, meal plan day. 251.4 lbs.
7/12, first official weigh in. 249.6 lbs. Total loss 4 lbs.
7/19, second official weigh in. 245.8 lbs. Total loss 7.8 lbs.

I had no (official) questions, and she had absolutely nothing to say about my food journal. (Because it's all there, no cheats.)

Now, just gotta do that 39 more times!

If you DO go to Melting Pot, might I recommend that you just get the cheese appetizer and dessert? Or...go with salad, an entree, and dessert? Cut one of the items of the meal out and you'll have plenty of food. We got the four-course dinner and it was way too much. But SOOOOO good. OMG, cheese overload.

I get the MRI tomorrow and see the doc next week. Doesn't it figure that it's been feeling fine all week?

I can post the biscotti recipe, sure, but it's not a diet-friendly recipe AT ALL. It's butter and sugar and chocolate and candy. But, pretty good!

Anyway, had a great spin class tonight. I'm still in a funk lately, though, and I'm stressing myself out b/c I feel like I'm missing out on Christmas, and yet, I don't feel like going out with friends to wander around cutely decorated towns, drinking cider. (that was tonight's event that I skipped.) Just not in the mood! Plus, it's icy. So, I stayed in and am wrapping presents instead.

I was surprised when I looked in the mirror tonight after the gym. The lighting must have been kind, but I saw hollows under my ribs again and a flat-ish stomach. At 187 lbs, no less. I really need to adjust what I see in the mirror and be happy with it.

Can't believe Christmas is in a week!

Jess,


I bet you are way too hard on yourself.

hey, jess. me, too, on the "i can't believe christmas is a week away!" i still have 99% of my shopping to do, but that's not much 'cause we don't get loads of presents. we keep it pretty low-key. or we just go with a couple of big-ticket items and that takes care of it. :-)

great advice on melting pot. dh & i went there for our 10th anniversary and had the big night out deal. whoa, that was a *lot* of food, but fitting for a big celebration.

hmmm. jess in a funk? what's up? something getting you down? how's it going in the dating department?

Mel,


The funk isn't anything new from what I've been posting the past couple of weeks.

Hi Jess,


I hear you on the Christmas funk.

Jess,


Sounds like you will be busy enough with some things planned with your family and friends -- so a night in wrapping presents probably was nice.


Glad your scale is back down a bit --I am sure in January we will all try and stick to plan and the extra few pounds will come off.


Congratulate yourself on what you have done and it is great that your clothes are still fitting well.


We are all our worst critics. I too know that I am fine where I am -- but would still like to get back closer to my original goal of 150 (158.4 this morning -- blaming it on the FRUIT CAKE -- mailing some out in a care package-- and the other 2 will stay tightly wrapped in aluminum foil -- and since it is a gift for my Mom I will not touch)
