This thread is really awesome. I'm doing great today, hahaha, but, it's not even noon, yet. Going to work out, though, so, I know I'll feel great when I do that!

So glad you're enjoying it . . . let us know how the workout goes!

Hey guys, I could really use some motivation to get my butt to the gym after work today. I'm really tired from our 4th of July party yesterday and all I can think about is popping a movie in the DVD player and vegging out. I really need to go since I was unable to go yesterday.

Whenever I'm not wanting to go to the gym, I tell myself . . . I'll go and just stay for 20 minutes . . . then I usually end up getting in the best workout EVER!!! That 20 minutes will turn into an hour and 20 minutes! Not sure how that works, LOL.

Thanks Christa. That does help. At least it gets me there and even if it's only 40 minutes, it's better than skipping!

I hear what everyone is saying about starchy veges, but honestly i have everything, but i just limit the portion size, I imagine sweet potato is the same as kumara in NZ, a yellow sweet tasting potato with a purple skin, they are my fav, even Weight watchers no longer count peas and corn, on the older programmes they used to be considered as one portion one bread, now they are Zero, well i know peas are,not so certain about corn,I think as long as you don't go overboard on them you should enjoy them if that is what you prefer, I have never done without the things i enjoy in life, just kept them to a minimum and have been very successful at loosing weight.

My fav treat is a Wendy' chocollo ice cream, at 2 and half points they are great value, and i never ever feel guilty having one, I even have a reward card, when its filled i get a freebie, I always have these when on programme.

Fourth day for me, probably was not as good yesterday as I should have been, but i was not bad either, just ate more portions of fruit than i was allowed, but feeling good and continuing with the battle lol.

Just a quick check in. I'm glad to see this thread is so popular. I'll have to pour over it later tonight for all the great recipes and tips.

I've been a BAD girl! I cheated really badly this weekend and today I feel like I'm suffering from a sugar hangover. I did exercise a lot but I ate lots of bad stuff. Oh well, I'm not letting it get me down - that's life. I'm doing better today - back on the wagon but boy oh boy did I get road rash from falling off this weekend.

Don't worry, Lori . . . that happens. But when you've come so far, you can afford to "cheat". Just as long as you don't fall off the wagon for good! And I really doubt you gained 5 or 10 pounds from 1 weekend of splurging. Or did you? LOL

BTW, I had 2 family reunions that I went to this weekend and I cheated a little myself . . . so really, don't feel bad. I don't. Of course, I worked my butt off earlier in the week, with those *deserts* in mind!!!
