How's everyone doing with..

Their new years dieting/weight loss?
I know a handful of girls were trying to loose some weight/ get healthy, so I was just wondering how it was going for everyone? I honestly have been slacking wicked bad. I did decide today though that I need to really buckle down and get to losing weight. I want to be able to wear what I was this summer. So today I had a piece of grilled chicken for lunch and an orange for a snack. I also bought Power 90, and did it a few times. I think I was doing it at the wring time and I need to do it at a time that I am going to be available everyday. So it begins today after work.
How's everyone else doing? Good? Bad? Tips for others? Anything your proud of?

Re: How's everyone doing with..
It's up-to-date.
On other New Years Resolutions, I have (mostly) stopped biting my nails. I do have to get a manicure every week, but they're now long enough that I think I can get a shellac manicure. And they're pretty enough that I won't be ashamed when I get a ring on there (though it'll be at least another 6 weeks, as that's how long it'll take to custom make it).
I had gotten way off track with my eating habits...so now i'm reining that back in. I've started my "diet" again and i've successfully reached day 6 today and lost 3.9 lbs! I'm also carrying my water bottle around everywhere...getting in my 80 oz....and peeing like crazy.
I've got a vacation to Puerto Rico in 6 weeks and BF's brother's wedding in 5 months....so those are my current motivations!!!
I've been pretty good about bringing lunch to work instead of going out to eat.

[QUOTE]I've lost 12 pounds (give or take, depending on the day/time of month). Most of it is not my doing, but simply having my guy cook his crazy Paleo diet stuff. Oh, and running. But I've been a slacker the last 2 weeks since my half marathon and still lost weight! On other New Years Resolutions, I have (mostly) stopped biting my nails. I do have to get a manicure every week, but they're now long enough that I think I can get a <strong>shellac manicure</strong>. And they're pretty enough that I won't be ashamed when I get a ring on there (though it'll be at least another 6 weeks, as that's how long it'll take to custom make it).

Cate - I just got my first one this past weekend and I LOVE IT! I love french manicures, but with typing and having my hands in files all day long I always destroyed them in a day or two. This looks like I just got it done at lunch today, and I did it Friday afternoon! I can't recommend it enough!!!

We can sit together.
I have the new Queso flavored ruffles.
I'm trying the South Beach thing. We'll see how long that works with the Commons. DARN YOU PRIVATE SCHOOL FOR NOT ALLOWING ME TO MAKE MY OWN FOOD!
It's been up and down. I've slacked over the past couple weeks, but I haven't been doing terribly either. I have lost quite a few inches over the past few months and my muslces are noticeably firmer

One of my bm's offered some of her weight to me today. I wish it was that easy!
I'm hoping to lose enough weight/inches to go from size 16ish to size 12ish by August 15th. I really want to make sure I keep muscle this time, rather than crash dieting like I have in the past - which I'm sure is why it keeps coming back on. Does this sound like a reasonable goal? Any tips to help get there?
Good luck to all the rest of you to keep going or get going, depending on what you may need!
allusive, where in Puerto Rico are you going?
I've come to realize that I don't have the healthiest relationship with food. It's not an eating disorder per se, more like a love/hate passive-agressive thing. So right now I'm trying to focus on controling my emotional response to food rather than counting calories. I've been feeling good about it for the last week or so, so we'll see. I'm also in MS150 training mode right now, so hopefully I'll rev up my metabolism that way.
9 Inches - that's awesome, congrats!

Go away.
I'm kidding (mostly). How much do you need to gain? I would be happy to give you some of my extra.
Come on ladies, we can do eeeetttt!!

If you have the money you should get a personal trainer. My mom is a body builder and a personal trainner and she also lost 70 lbs a few years ago and while she lost the weight all by herself she did get a personal trainer when she wanted more tone and then eventually for her body building because gaining weight (in a healthy way) was a lot harder than losing the fat.

I wish I could afford a personal trainer :(
[QUOTE]I've been on a diet roller coaster. I haven't updated my ticker in two months because I keep yo-yoing, so even though at one point a couple weeks ago I was down another 2 pounds, the ticker is accurate as of today.

<div>I totally get this. Half the time I'm going great and feeling good with my food, my intake and my exercise. The other half I'm bitter (so, so bitter) about why I can't eat like a normal person. Why I can't indulge in Chinese and Mexican with my friends and not see 2-3 lbs the next day, while they have no repercussions other than a trip to the restroom. </div><div>
</div><div>Different bodies, different ways of processing things. I get this intellectually. I'm still bitter. I'm so sick of ordering salad with crappy dressing! I MISS BLUE CHEESE!</div><div>
</div>
[QUOTE]DanieKA - I have that same problem. I dread going out with my friends because they all eat whatever they want and it seems like they never gain a pound. I know I shouldn't be bitter about it but sometimes it's hard not to be.
