22.3 pounds to go, weight wont go down if i'm not on plan ...

anyone else??

justlosinme!! Girl -- i know how it gets... you can do this. When I get that bad, I just go to bed and sleep -- and think about all the yummy things that I can have for Breakfast. THAT usually helps. :-)

You are an inspiration and don't feel bad about eating one bad thing. I agree with BOOBOO. Sometimes it is best to allow yourself one "guilty pleasure" but LIMIT it to one... that way you are over it and go on with your life. There are LOTS of low calories recipes out there for something that tastes sweet but ISNT! I love sugar free/Fat free pumpkin pie (without the crust)... YUM!

Hey Losinjusme,

This will pass. It absolutely totally completely sucks, but it WILL pass. You are such an inspiration to me, and you have already done so much and made such incredible progress. You are dedicated and amazing, you don't have to perfect on top of all that!

Oh, and...

I'm staying on plan today because the next time I get on a plane, the seatbelt is going to fit and I am going to put my little tray table all the way down!

I'm staying on plan today because...I'm really getting tired of wearing my big girl panties.

I stayed on plan today because I was determined that, for once, I was going to start being "good" on a Saturday and not use the weekend as an excuse to pig out so I could "start again" Monday.

I will stay on plan tomorrow because I am disgusted with my lack of progress and disappointed in MYSELF and starting to doubt the decision to get the band. Yet, I know it's MY fault and not the band's.

...in addition to myself...my children and husband are worth it. I won't do to my family what my parents did to us. (Both died of lung cancer in their 50s...) Addiction is not an excuse to kill yourself.

I am staying on plan today because, I am worth it!!!!! Also, I want to see the scale say 224 by next Saturday, Sept 22.:clap2:

I'm staying on plan today because I want to sit comfortably in any chair anywhere in the world.

I gave up going to Typhoon Lagoon and out to dinner in order to stay on this plan. I'm not going to ruin today now!

Btw, losingjustme... when you do your free days (once a month I think?) is it hard to get back on track? I've done free days before, usually once a week (eek!) and sometimes I extend them into free weekends, etc...

Because I know this is the best thing I ever did for me, so why would I screw it up? I deserve more!

Hang in there losinjusme! You have done great so far - you can do it!!! Everyone has rough Patches.

I'm staying on plan because I'm almost out of 'fat' clothes into regular sizes. Can't wait to say goodbye to lane bryant forever!

because the accolades are awesome!!!

B/C I am worth it

B/C I didn't go through this surgery for nothing

B/C I want to look hot for my birthday on Oct. 26th

because for 10 years I didn't have a plan!

Because I HAVE to remember I am NOT at goal let and I need to get back to losing 2 lbs per week...

I want to be at goal by December 22, 2007 (my 1 year bandiversary) - and SOONER if at all possible. :-)
