  My trainer is really working me out. He tried to make me do the stair climber. I literally had to jump off the thing when I was too tired to go on and had to hike to get up on it in the first place! We did legs today. I definitely think I'll be feeling it tomorrow. The ab machine almost killed me. Since I'm wearing white (and it's so unforgiving), I refused to lay down and do the hamstring machine. Last thing I need is for everyone around me to see how big my butt is and where my panty line is! I've not overeaten since I started this. The test will be this weekend at the wedding. I don't know if I've lost anything yet, but I sure hope I have. I'd love to see the scale down a few by the end of the weekend! Maybe I can take a nice walk after the wedding or at least walk around the outlet mall on Sunday before I drive home. If the resort has a gym, I might just go there and do the treadmill just to get some exercise going! My hope is to be down 1 size by October. It's certainly doable! I'm going to focus on 1 day at a time and do my best.

  Feeling good. Had a good night. Did a little Zumba. Studied and got an A on my Devices quiz. Also did not cheat on my diet last night. Someone had an almond pound cake this morning. I barely had a morsel (literally just a crumb you could see through). Just had an early snack. Think I'll be heading to the gym within the hour to do a Nautilus circuit. If I have any extra time left over, I might get on the treadmill a bit, but I'm not going to push it. I can always return to the gym after work for an extra bit of calorie burn. I'm determined to make this work. I have to do it for myself. Besides, there are all kinds of hot guys at the gym. Talk about motivation!

  I haven't been online for a while because I haven't been focused on my diet. I'd gone back to my old knee-jerk reactions to stress (eating sweets & carbs) and wasn't thinking. Since the anniversary party is in 3 days, there's no hope of losing a ton of weight between now and then. What I will hope for is that I do the best I can on my finals and finish this semester strong. After a long talk with my mom on the phone today about my lack of weight loss, I was proud of myself. I didn't need to be defensive with her and I didn't let her negative comments hurt me. I was a realist. I have a lot of weight to lose. While she lost 50 lbs 10 years ago, I have 150 lbs to lose now. We are different people. I went to the gym today (the second time in a week) and I worked up a sweat. I felt good about it. I'd like to go back now but I've got 2 finals on Friday, so I need to study. I ate reasonably well today. I didn't go overboard on my calories but I did cheat and have a potato chip and a half of a chocolate donut from Dunkin Donuts (thanks to co-workers bringing in fattening food). All-in-all, that's remarkably well. I'm proud that I had a taste but didn't indulge in sweets. I just had a chicken salad sandwich for a late lunch and am stuffed. I will try to do a little bit of some exercise video when I get home, but not more than 20 minutes to be fair to my schoolwork. Watching Dance Your Ass Off has been such a great motivator. These people were so unhealthy 20 weeks ago. A few of the guys are down 80 - 101 lbs, while the girls are down anywhere from 50 - 85 lbs. What an achievement. Whatever I do, it will be because of me and I won't compare myself to anyone but me.

  ok, here we go. This is my 1 millionth time to start a weight loss routine, so I hope this is the one that will work for me. I have 30 pounds too loose, and want to loose those 30 before they turn into 60. I can feel on my knees already what those extra 30 pounds do. My goal weight was once easily maintained (15 yrs ago), so it is a realistic plan, and I KNOW I can do it.....

  I am getting very discouraged. I just don't see how I am going to make my goal. I only have 6 weeks left until my birthday. The scale doesn't want to move. It doesn't help that I just don't seem to have the energy to exercise anymore. Or maybe it's the motivation. Whatever it is I just don't know if I want to try anymore. ARGH!!

  Wow! It's been FOREVER since I've been on here. I'm still around...and still hanging around the same weight. My new goal is to have lost a total of 30 pounds by my 30th birthday, which is in April. I've got 12 pounds to go. I CAN DO IT!!!

  Well thing are finally getting back to normal. Last two weeks with mom were very hectic so eating was all messed up. Hopefully will being hitting the pool again if the weather stays good. it is an inside pool but if there is lightening within a 6 mile radius the Y will not allow people in the pool and there was potential for thunderstorms each day this week.
