So I haven’t weighed in for the Hot for the Holidays challenge since September 19th. Why? Because I have been much too depressed about my lack of success. On September 19th I had gained a pound. On September 26th I had gained another pound. Way to go, right?
So, I quit my diet.
When I weighed myself on October 3rd, just for fun (because you know how much fun that can be, right?), I was down 3 pounds. I weighed myself again today, because it was so much fun the last time, and I’m down another pound. So, I gained one pound then lost four for a net total of a three pound loss since Sept 19th.
And you know what else? Today I wore a pair of jeans a size smaller than my usual size.
So, what is this new diet plan I have? No more dieting.
I’m off to weigh in at Baby Tea Leaves.
Net Weight loss since last weigh in- 3 pounds
Weight loss since August 1st- 9 pounds
Pounds left to reach mini-goal on October 31st- 11 pounds

I’m right there with you….I kick my own butt this week and I GAIN a pound.
I have found that when I “diet”, I have the least amount of success.
Oh, I’m so green that you were able to slip on a pair of jeans a size smaller. I’m still in my “fat” jeans.
That’s definitely something to be proud of and keep you going.
Good luck this week.

WELCOME BACK!! PLEASE STAY!!! We’re the best place to go when you’re down! We all need the support — trust me on that! I had a two pound gain last week and if it weren’t for the support of the rest of the crowd I wouldn’t have gotten back up on the horse! Great job on the loss!! And seriously, when you’re down and out that’s the best time to stay and grab a little motivation from all of us! I have posts up throughout the week for chatter!

Congrats on the smaller jeans. You go girl.
Diets don’t work…how could they?
They have the word D-I-E in them.

Congratulations!
Just started counting calories myself, which is GOOD, b/c I was eating more than my fair share.
Week one – lost 1.6 pounds. Still have 15.8 more to go. It’s a lifelong battle, I’m afraid!
