I am starting to stress somewhat about moving since it is in four weeks so I really need to watch my stress eating. I find that I overeat when I am stressed, in a funk, or bored -- and I am usually only bored when I am in funk and then I don't feel like doing anything.
On the up side. I am so excited about this move. I can't wait to get out of this desert and move to greener pastures -- literally! My mom is coming in a week or two and we can diet together. She is the dieting queen and knows how to lose weight. Plus, she is going to help me pack and clean just because she is the sweetest:)
My affirmation today is to really stick to my eating plan, I've got everything else down!

Today starts week two!! The bad news is that I only lost 1 pound last week but the good news is that I lost 1 pound last week :). Although I didn't stick to my eating plan 100%, I did do all of my workouts! And I have noticed a difference for it. So this week I will stick to my eating plan no matter what!!!! Four weeks until I move and I still have 14 pounds to lose.
What do I do on those days where I just feel munchy and I don't feel like doing anything at all, and I am just sitting around snacking?
Affirmation: Today I will stick to my eating plan, drink all my water, and do my work out.
1 pound down, 29 to go!

Thank you for the comments and well wishes. THe thing is they are supportive of my diet. My house would be worse than it is if I left it up to them. Your ideas sound terrific though. I will take some time for myself I promise. I am doing well on my diet. COngrats on the one pound. It is one pound less to go. Slow and steady wins the race. DOn't get discouraged if you don't get all the weight you want off by the time that you move. It is very possible that you will but don't be discouraged if you don't. Have a good day!

Affirmation: today I will stick to my eating plan, do my work out and drink all my water and take all my supplements.
Things are going well, however, I have decided to make a menu each night for the next day. I have found myself "cheating" and I think that will be harder to do if I have a menu. I am doing Atkins sort of. but as a vegetarian it's really hard to do the induction. During induction you can't have legumes so I am doing the ongoing weightloss portion.
Breakfast: 2 vegie breakfast patties 1 deviled egg
Lunch: Zuchini portabello mushroom rice roll
Dinner: Taco salad (without the taco of course!)
On a side note: I went shopping for new clothes yesterday and came home with nothing!! Looking in the store is like looking in my closet, there is nothing to wear!

I am down a pound! I am very happy about it but my first week is almost up and I wanted to be down three pounds. But, I have definatly noticed that my chest is looking better. Thank god!!! I have been lifting weights and concentrating on my chest as it could stand to be a little perkier. So I feel like things are going better and that gives me some encouragement to keep going. Thanks everyone for all the encouragement.
Today I will stick to my eating plan, do my work out, drink all my water and take all my supplements including fiber.

Diet is going well now. My mood has picked up and that has helped things considerably -- When I get bummed I want to eat. I think I learned that from my mum.
Why I am over weight: I was a size 6 when I got married six years ago, now I am a 12. I never had any weight problems before. Four years ago I had a baby (who is really cute :)) and the wieght never came off. It is only partly because I had a baby. I had a baby 11 years ago and never had a wieght problem then. But I gained weight with this last baby and never got it off.
The reason I never got it off was because I became a stay at home mom and I am not busy and I am home and I am sure many of you can relate. So I know that I need to get back into being who I am (which is busy career girl). I know many woman enjoy staying at home and I did for a while, but there is a lot I want to accomplish and things I want to do and I can't imagine staying home all day by myself after the kids are in school.
The good news is, that now that the little guy is four, I am going to law school!! So I have already started making the changes that I know will affect my weight positively. But, We are driving across the country and we will be stopping at my guy's moms in Kentucky on the way and I don't want them all talking about how much weight I've gained. So it is very important that I lose this 15 pounds in the next 5 weeks!!! Ok, that's my story :)
Today I will stick to my eating plan, take all my supplements including fiber, do my work out, and drink all my water.
30 pounds to go!

well just in the few lines that I have read of who you are I am thinking they will be talking about what a wonderful woman you are and how lucky your family is to have you running the show... wow two kids that have had their mom home with them... not all children are so lucky... what a wounderful life that 30 pounds to the perfect life... you rock!! and I think we all can agree on this ... Yahooooo RoadTrip!!!! -Kayla

I am sure his family will experience you as the terrific woman you are. 3 pounds a week is a goal you will surely fail at, or at least fail at maintaining. You sound like you can be very hard on yourself. Losing 1-2 lbs a week is much more do-able and I am sure you do and will look more than fine when you meet them. Congrats on law school!! What an achievement. Pam

I didn't write in my diary last night as I was upset because I ate pasta last night and that is definately not on my eating plan. So Iwas bummed. I have not lost any weight over the last three days which worries me because my goal is 3 pounds a week for the next five weeks. So I will revise my eating plan for next week if I don't lose my three pounds. On the bright side, I did make up the part of my work out that I missed the day before.
Today I will stick to my eating plan, drink all my water, take all my supplements, and do my work out :) Woohoo new day!
I am going to try the suggestions left yesterday to busy my hands and do breathing exercises to help with the munchies.

Be patient. The weight will come off. Try weighing yourself once a week. You'll see more changes that way. DOn't let the scale run things. It is just a suggestion. You are doing well so just be patient. It will happen.

Today I will stick to my eating plan, do my workout including making up for yesterday, drink all my water and take all my supplements. I am also going to add some fiber as my eating plan is not allowing for enough. Last night I forgot to give myself "suggestions" so I have to remember tonight.
Ok, I have been totally stressed out since I am moving in 5 weeks across the country (from CA to PA). Stress makes me want to munch, anyone have any suggestions to help deal with my stress and wanting to stress snack?

Hmmm--no idea if this'll help you, but, I really like the breathing exercises. Nothing special, just stoppping for a second, concentrating on your breathing, can slow down your racing mind. I inhale deeply, hold my breath for a few seconds, then exhale slowly. Repeat it four, five times. Tell yourself this time next week, or next month, life will be different. Place yourself in that moment, try to imagine it, and you'll probably forget about momentary munchies.

I've heard that if you can find something to do with your hands like cross stich or reading and do that when you feel like stress eating that it will help. I'm going to try it too, because I know I eat out of stress too much. Good luck. Have a good day.

Ok, so today was mostly successful. I stuck to my eating plan with one small exception but I only did half of my work out. Tomarrow I will double my workout to make up for missing half.

New day! I don't think my diary is all that interesting in the morning -- Just rewriting my goals to help keep me focused.
Today I will workout, stick to my eating plan, and drink all my water and take all my supplements :)
I LOVE being thin!!! woohoo!
I need to do my 20 minutes of aerobics early because my husband is off today and I want to get it done while he is still sleeping as I look totally stupid doing them and I want him to be some what attracted to me. He is so great but sometimes I feel that he isn't as supportive as he could be. He would NEVER make any comments about my weight what-so-ever, in that reguard, he is totally supportive of me. He tells me everyday that I am beautiful and he totally acts like he is attracted to me. Once, when I got on the scale, when the little thing turned to show me my weight, there was this little note on it that said "wasting away to nothing." It was so sweet it totally made my day. But it would be nice to have someone around who encouraged me to get off my bum and work out. Not that I should be complaining that he is so fabulous. But I do need encouragement sometimes and he always tells me I'm not fat and sometimes that is all I need to eat extra desert ( I love desert! ).
So to reiterate: Today, I will do my workout, stick to my eating plan, and drink all my water and take all my supplements.
Oh, and last night I gave myself hypnotic suggestions while falling asleep -- "I am thin and toned, I weigh 130 pounds. I am thin and toned, I weigh 130 pounds..."

Thanks so much for your comment! I will take your advice!
Your DH does sound really great. I know how it is when they keep keep telling you how beautiful you are while you're sitting there eating a bowl of ice cream. Sometimes they just don't get it.
Have a great day!

I had a great day! I did my work out and stuck to my eating plan. Yay me!! I didn't drink as much water as I intended, but still had plenty. I also quickly discovered that encouragement from diary members is very helpful, so I will also be visiting other's diaries and commenting. Thanks everyone for the support on my first day :)
I did feel munchy today and it was hard not to since the kids were snacking on chocolate chips -- Naughty babies!
Tomarrow I will make sure that I drink my whole bottle of water and work my lower body.

Today is the first day of my diet. I will stick to everything I said last night! I am adding that I will give myself suggestions of being thin every night as I am falling asleep. I will write in the evening of my progress for the day.

I am starting a five week plan, after five weeks, I will revise. I need to lose 25 pounds total but I am going to lose 15 pounds during my five week period.
I will write in my diary every day morning and night, I will work out every day, and I will stick to my eating plan every day. In addition, I will drink enough water and take all my supplements.
If I feel like snacking, I will work on art, work on packing, take a bath, do my nails, spend time with kids, write in diary, or do more exercising.

Wow, you sound just like me: not enough water, no supplements. Way to go, on your 5 week plan. It's so much better than just planning to loose x amount of weight. At least with a time table you have and definite end to look forward to!!! Good Luck!!!
