Happy Birthday! Im glad you had a good night out!

For me, using the cruise as my motivation really helped me to watch what i was eating and exercise..And now its 2 days away so well see if i look okay in the dress for formal night!

I probably wont be around until after I get back from the cruise--so have a great week!

I'm sure you will look fantastic in your dress! Make sure you post photos and have a WONDERFUL vacation

Ok so I've decided me trying to figure out what I want to eat is not giving me the results I want. I am going to try the Scarsdale Medical Diet. I have tried the diet before and have had success so hopefully it will work this time around because I need some fast results! I think I am the type that I need a structured plan to follow in order to stick to it.

Has anyone else tried this plan?

 

[Vallie]

so I woke up today feeling so MOTIVATED! my main motivation? I want to look like a princess in my formal dress on new years so i've decided on a reward... If i loose a good amount of weight on this diet and can stick to it I will buy myself some cute new clothes for the trip AND a dress for new years! if shopping doesnt get me motivated nothing will! lol

so wish me luck! I want to do this i have to do this! 6 more weeks and i CAN do this... right?!

Breakfast:
1 tangerine

Lunch:
5 slices of lunch meat
2 veggie crackers
1 pickle

Dinner:
Baked Salmon with Lemon, Herb and Pepper
Cucumber Slices with calorie wise french dressing
2 Veggie Crackers

Snack:
2 Walnuts

I feeel GREAT however I'm trying to distract myself from "boredom" eating! which DIS boards is great for!!!

 

[Vallie]

Ok So I'm still SUPER motivated this morning... hopefully I can keep it up! I think the hardest part for me will be to not eat at night... which I tend to do especially while studying and in school! However, the thought of looking good in my new years dress and bikini is more important to me then snacking!
