I did watch the biggest loser and I know what you mean.  I used to watch it and have some kinda snack while I watch and last night I had a cup of tea! Good for you! Keep up the good work I really like this diet and am committed to seeing it the whole way through!

Good for you Vickie!  How long till your birthday?

Hi writerchick,

Hope you are feeling better today !! My birthday is feb 16. when my husband and I started this diet all along i said if I can reach 10 lbs by my b-day I would be sooooo happy !!! as of today I have 3.5 to go and 1 week to do it in. FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS. I believe I can achieve this!!!!! I don't feel deprived and most certainly have no thoughts of cheating ( it's just a matter of whether or not my body will allow it ). I've even told the family that I didn't want a b-day cake thats how important it is to me to achieve what I've started. Summer is coming and I promised myself I was not going to stand in some clothing store wishing it came in my size !!! Not this year.

Thanks kmchoes,

Funny I've never been a snacker and junk food doesn't really interest me. My weight, I believe came from not eating enough ( 1 meal a day and always late into the evening due to our hrs of work ) and Age , so for me to have those thoughts last night took me by surprise, OR, maybe it was a test HMMMM. Either way I won.

lol, I saw the commercial with all that chocolate, and I turned to my husband and said "what kind of torcher is that!"  I so love chocolate that I couldn't have watched that one...in fact most yummy food commercials i have to turn away from.  I'm pretty visual.  I do tune into Jamie Oliver because his recipes are so healthy and I can always alter them to this plan. Plus, love the accent!  Married an Englishman myself!  Speaking of chocolate, Valentine's Day on the way.  I love those chocoloates the best...but this year..ah no.

Hi Vickie,

Congrats for sticking to the program and for losing another 1.5 lbs. I also watched the Biggest Loser last night and boy did those chocolates look yummy. I love chocolate and all kinds of sweets. I did not cheat last night either.

I got your note and thanks for checking in. I ended up going away at the very last minute on Friday and not getting back until late on Sunday. That is why I haven't been on line much lately. I ended up going off the diet all weekend, but got back on Monday morning. I was a bit disappointed at myself, but you know what I am in this for the long haul this time and I know from time to time I might mess up, so I am not going to beat myself up. I am just going to get back on the program asap and move forward.

I hope you get the birthday present you're looking forward to the most :)

Hey Vicky are we every having weird weather! I'm on Vancouver Island we've had 50 mile an hour winds, Vicoria had a 3.1 quake yesterday and it's droped to 0c expected to go to -8c tonight.   Just about taked myself out of my walk.  It always feels good when you drop and not moving can be so streeful!  I agree with you you will do it! 

Welcome back Yukoner missed ya !!!!

We're all going to have our mishaps at some point and really that doesn't matter we are not here to judge  the important thing is your back.

Good morning TLCme, I didn't no we had a quake yesterday, thats scary. Yes we are having weird weather, I actually thought I was going to make it through the winter without catching a cold but nope caught one last week and still can't shake it. We didn't have any wind well at least not here but you can sure feel the coolness. I went out to do some yard work yesterday and was hosing down my deck but when the sun wasn't on me it was freezing. LOL listen to us complain we could be in snow drifts YUK.

Your post with Turtle will win race stuck in my head all day and I finally remember Slow & Steady will win the race, so just keep going at your very own pace!
