Monday Morning Weigh Ins
Stacy,
I completely agree that much of the cravings and insatiable hunger is hormone related. Around "that time", extra dark chocolate in any form calls my name! The only remedy is to eat some...I don't mind. I also seem to need more calories in general around then...I wonder if our bodies burn more energy at that time and because we are on such a restricted caloric intake as it is, it just makes us super hungery with the need to replenish. Sounds like a good explanatation to me !
Hi again Stacy. Thank you so much for the encouragement and the kind words. And I feel you in saying you are "glad" to know you are to alone. IT is very good to know that it is not just me. So we can help each other thru this season. And it could be hormonal...I hope that is all it is!! lol And I hope it is gone overnight and sooN!!! I will keep you posted on how things go. Thanks again for letting me know I am not alone with this desire for the things I know I dont need. Talk to you soon.
Steph-
I am totally with you on the hunger returning- I can be a very bad girl and this wasn't the greatest week- BUT- like Stacy and Suz I think it's hormonal. I can almost track my cravings by the week of the month.
I also haven't been the best with water- I guess cuz it's not so hot anymore. I did find the sugar-free cider at WalMart and I really enjoy that with a stick of cinnamon for a stir. Makes me feel festive too!!
I was just kind of hanging back with the whole weight loss thing- but I just realized it's a little over 2 weeks from Thanksgiving. I have family flying in that haven't seen me for a year and I'm gonna do some serious toning before then- if possible. Anybody else excited about seeing relatives? My sister's husband has never seen me like this and we all think he'll walk by me at the airport.

I bought 2 pairs of RL jeans at SteinMart and they are size 4- but I'm with Stacy- muffin anyone? I think a 6 looks better on me at this time.
Have a good week everyone!!!

21.8?????? No more losing for you!!!!! Yeah, I hear you on the muffin top. It's driving me crazy. BUT it's better than before huh? I need to work on some serious toning as well. Do you have any good tips? I have been lifting light weights and do notice more muscle on my arms. I really want to get rid of the stomach and the fat around my waist the most.
Hey Holly!! I too have been having a hard time with drinking my water amounts and I think it does have a lot to do with the temperature..its freezing out side and water is the last thing I want. I am very excited about the holidays and seeing familly that have not seen me in a while. It will be fun. I am eating lots of carbs for Thanksgiving...That is going to one free day for me!!
all this responding and I almost forgot to post my stats. lol! I'm up 1 lb from last week, but I am hoping it was due to that time of the month. I started today and usually I'll lose a couple of pounds on the third day. I hope!!!

It's so nice to share this journey with you guys!!
I know exactly what you mean...I wanna eat all the time here lately...never satisfied. And I gotta admit I ate a few pieces of halloween candy. I was never a big candy peson before, but I just couldnt resist for some stupid reason. Im beginning to fear my stoma is stretched!! It scares me too. I never wanna go back!!
I was so excited last week because Id lost 7lbs. This week one of those lbs came back! That stinks!!
