I pledge to not weigh for 30 Days, to do everything in my power to lose my bounce back weight, to increase my exercise daily, and to have a positive outlook. I pledge to take my mind and body to the next level and keep it there!! I offer my support to YOU and request your support to ME!! Let's do it!!
Random Thoughts:
This is Day 7 for me, so on Monday I will post new measurements, I think I will save the photos to unveil at the end... besides I am too lazy to take new ones and don't know that we will see a change yet anyway...
- Trying hard to remain dilligent.
- Life is throwing some curve balls
- Yesterday had too many healthy snacks and missed a meal
- Struggling and wanting to self medicate with sweets, did not, not one bite
- Soooooo glad we are doing the 30 Day No Weigh Challenge or I would have eaten chips and sweets yesterday and had a couple of drinks...
- You see why this works for me:
1. I don't know what I weigh
2. I don't want to sabatoge what I have done so far
3. I know I need to report in here, and set an example
4. I know it is just 30 Days, then I can incorporate some of those things back in if I want to
- So it is not going 'perfect' but it is going and I am sure I will show a loss after the 30 Days
30 minutes of aerobic exercise DONE by 7:30 am!
at this rate I may turn into one of those people who goes out in the morning and walks 3 miles by 6 am.( not jog, probably, unless I could get some new knees)
I don't know what I weight and that's fine. I may not lose anything and that's fine too. if my body wants to have this size belly that will be OK as long as I am doing what I can to make my body stronger permanently.
so, not perfect either but I am sure this is worth doing.
good for you, Cindy, congrats on finishing the first week!
edited to add: plan for today save my last cup of coffee until after I get home from church and do a Hypnosis CD, then some CLUTTER CONTROL if only a small amount and then plan on enjoying myself - posting, reading, watching a movie, whatever.

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.
size 8, life is great
You go Jackie!! Speaking of Clutter Control...notice my last week pic compared to this week. I CLEANED and cleaned big time!

Random Thoughts:
Here it has been a week for us and I'm feeling a lot better this Sunday then last. I'm not going to do photos or measure until the end. I don't want the number on the tape measure to make me sabotage the work I have put in so far. If it is anything like the scale. I will!!! I feel different, lighter!
We were invited out to a friends turkey fry yesterday and it was easy to stay focused. They are pretty healthy eaters. They made a curried chick pea dish, salads, turkey, and ham. I will post the recipe soon for the chickpeas for anyone who cares to make it.MMMmmmMM I had one beer and that was it. I switched to coffee. I could of had lots more, but, I figured why bother when I have tried so hard to behave this week and sabotage it just for alcohol. Wasn't worth it. Had a fantastic time just the same!
Today we are doing eggs benny, then out ham dinner, no worries there. I hope the chocolate gawd won't find me today!!!
Hugs and loves

Mission Statement:
I will NOT weigh again during the full 30 days.
I will measure and take pictures every Sunday.
Goals:
To fit BACK into my size 12s.
To reduce my waist to 38, my Hip/Butt to 45 and my Thigh to 24.
Thoughts:
- I am really focused. Last night I went to see Prince in concert (not the norm for going to concerts/plays/the club is to bring a flask of alcohol. It was so far removed from my mind until my friend brought it up. YEAH me
- If I'm not going to get on the scale I'm going to have to REMOVE the scale from the premises. If I see my boyfriend or go over my girlfriends house I'm going to have to give them my scale.
- I weighed myself this morning. I measured myself and saw a difference and HAD to see it on the scale. I don't feel defeated for having "broken" my 30 days as I know me and giong 7 days was a feat in and of itself. So to help me out and to accomplish anything longer then 7 days I'll have to get rid of it.
- I'll be increasing my steps from 68,500 that's an additional 500 steps per day.
Measurements as of Sunday 4/247
Weight = 214.8 (-4.2)
Neck = 14 (no change)
Breast at nipple line = 40 (no change)
Chest under breast = 36 (no change)
Waist = 41 (-1)
Hip/Butt = 49 (-.5)
Thigh = 26.75 (-.25)
Calf = 17
Bicep = 14 (+.5)
Wrist = 6.25 (-.25
Ankle = 9.75 (-.25)
