Tomorrow is my final weigh-in, i worked my butt off at the gym, 55 minutes of cardio, but i am starving. I need to avoid temptation, help!!

I only have two more days until my final weigh in for this session, i lost 12 lbs so far, so i guess i can't be too upset, but i know i am capable of much more.

My first mobile blog test

two months later

Hi, Sorry I've been AWOL for so long. I've been trying to relocate my motivation. I just cant seem to move the scale in the right direction. I have been exercising everyday, I just cant seem to get my eating in check.
I know I've been going through a lot over the past 18 months, and I had just shut down emotionally, but now I am ready to start living again. I am finally allowing myself to feel, and its both scary and amazing at the same time. I'm ready to take the next step in so many areas of my life.
So far, I've lost over 50 pounds, and I feel great, I have gained so much confidence, I know I have so far yet to go, but it is so exciting to be able to wear clothes that are 4 sizes smaller, If I feel this good now, I can't begin to imagine, how I will feel when I get to my goal.
I've learned not to care what others think of me, I am finally beginning to like myself, and honestly, isn't that what matters?

New Challenge.

The new Weight Loss Challenge began on April 15. I did really good the first week, I lost 10.6 lbs, but I know that is not a healthy amount of weight to lose in one week, and apparently my body agrees, because when I stepped on the scale this morning, I have gained back 4 of those lbs. But I'm hoping that is only because of that special time of the month.
I have been walking the nature trails in the park, It is so peaceful, and the surroundings are beautiful. It kicks my butt, but it is so worth it. I am going to try to remember my camera so that I can take some pictures to post on here.
I know that this is not much of a post, but I will write more later....

STOP!!!

Ok, Time to refocus, my challenge has been over for only 4 days and I feel like I have eaten everything in sight. I've got to stop and get back on track, I know how easy it is to gain it back, and I've worked too hard to let that happen.
My mini goal is to lose 10 pounds before the next challenge begins on April 15.

Weight Loss Challenge

I have been doing these weight loss challenges, my second challenge came to an end this past week. I have mixed emotions regarding it. I was very distracted this time around due to my insane life, and family issues. So I didn't really apply myself as well as I could have.

First let me give you a little info about the challenge. It is a 12 week program, The cost is $35 to join. We have weekly weigh-in meetings/classes. If you miss any classes, you have to pay $5 per missed class, and if you gain weight, you have to pay $1 per pound. All of the money collected (minus any administrative/supplies fees) is paid out to the top 5 participants. The person who loses the highest % wins 50% of money, second places wins 30% and third place wins 20%. Prize money is also paid out to the person who loses the most inches, and the most amount of pounds. Sounds simple enough right?

Okay, well I have come in 5th place yet again, for losing the most pounds. I don't really have a chance at winning because I have so much to lose. I lost 25 lbs this challenge, which worked out to be 9.6%, the winner won $350.00, and she lost 16 lbs, which worked out to be like 13 or 14%.

I should be so excited for losing what I did, I lost 34 inches and lost 25 lbs in 12 weeks, and for about 7 weeks of that time, My father was in the hospital so I really didn't work out, and lets face it, the hospital cafeteria ironically, does not have the healthiest of food choices. So why am I being so hard on myself.
