It's only been a day! LOL! How are you doing with your new video? I was able to stream the 10MS Yoga video yesterday but they other ones wouldn't play for some reason. I am heavy duty cleaning my house today so I am getting my exercise in that way. I will be finally going back to Curves tomorrow and then I am going to figure out my new exercising game plan. Busy week though because the holiday...

Good for you for working out already! Now I feel like I'm slacking! LOL, this buddy thing is working! I just saw on Netflix they have a few videos of the 10 Minute Solutions series available to view online! YAY! I will try the Fat Blasting Dance Mix tomorrow. I really need to start doing SI6 but it always kicks my butt when I first get back into it, so I am dreading the soreness I know I am going to face Lol. Maybe I should start with the 10 Minute ones until I get some strength back again Lol. Keep up the amazing work!

Great job this week! Getting your calories and water intake under control is probably the biggest challenge. I am going to start exercising this week too. Hopefully we can stay motivated together! I'm here for anything you need!

Yay! Four lbs down. Congrats. I haven't been doing that well but I'm hoping that changes soon. I'm happy for your success. Keep motivated and strong!

Guess who got to add 6 diamonds to their jar today! I can't wait to see how you did this week! I haven't been exercising at all though so that is my goal for this next week. Want to start doing SI6 with me?

I know what you mean...it's hard not to want to see if all the things we are doing are working. We just have to be careful not to get so caught up in the weight part of it, that we drive ourselves crazy. that just leads to disappointment down the road. Our success in the end isn't really measured in the amount of weight lost...it's measured in how we feel, and how we feel about ourself. I am sooo thankful I found this forum, and the great people on it. It's nice to have people who understand what I am going through, and are there for me when I need them. Thank you for being one of those people CourtneyLynn.

If I could offer one piece of advice...I would say, do not weigh yourself everyday. I noticed in your daily logs that you are doing that. Once a week is good, and make sure you do it at the same time every week. I read this, and thought it made sense... "For some dieters, focusing on daily weights does not work as well. Even with consistent dietary intake and physical activity, your weight fluctuates day-to-day. You may interpret a one-pound weight gain as gaining a pound of fat. In fact, it is probably all retained water, or at least mostly water. Too much attention to the scale can be misleading and ultimately lead to frustration and discouragement. Reducing weigh-ins to once a week can help dieters manage their weight loss without obsessing over the daily body fluctuations that naturally occur." In the end, I don't really care what I'll weigh...I'll care what I look like and what I feel like. ...just my 2 cents. -Eric

LOL, I can't wait until Friday. I'm trying so hard not to peek at the scale! I haven't been working out this week either. I've had a lot going on, plus I am using this first week to just let my body adjust to the new way I am eating. Still no soda, I don't even want it! I'm getting at least 100oz. of water a day and sticking to the shakes, bars, and healthy dinners. I've lost most of my old cravings for unhealthy food too. I hope that doesn't change! LOL.

Hi! I got my jar yesterday! I was going to just get regular glass beads, but I saw the diamonds you were talking about and I couldn't resist! They are so adorable, pretty and girly. I got a tall blue jar and the pink and purple sets of diamonds. It looks so cute with the diamonds in their packaging in the jar already LOL. I can't wait until Friday to start filling it up! This is definitely a great motivator and something I will definitely keep forever to remember this journey. How are you doing with staying on track? Are you getting all your water intake?

That's a really good idea about getting a bike. I'm not in a bike friendly neighborhood so I couldn't do that but I wish you luck. I'm also doing the jar thing - I'm putting in a dollar bill for each pound. It's really nice to see that money accumulate.

I just have to tell you how AWESOME the diamond in the jar idea is. It's visual and pretty and oh so girly. Kudos to you!!
