I'm goin' down, down, down! I'm goin' down, down, down! Like the song says. I DID IT!!! I reached my first 10% goal this week. I lost a total of 6 pounds this past week. I needed to lose 4 and change to make it. I really think keeping that goal in mind helped me. It motivated me to workout with gusto (until our less than 2 month old treadmill broke on Thursday :( ). It also gave me the strength to say no to a very persistant co-worker with a dozen, hot fresh Krispy Kreme doughnuts this week. For those of you who may not have them in your area, they are like sin in a box when they are just made and still warm. They literally melt in your mouth. I've never had a pastry product do that before but they do! Of course, they are 5 points each and he was not taking no for an answer but I flat refused to even look at him past a certain point. I also made it through a family reunion which was pretty easy. Filled up on raw veggies and FF dip that my step-mother brought. Tried to eat sensibly with the other foods there. You know BBQ meat but no bun. No potato salad or slaw. I took 4 bites of the various desserts on hand. I feel really good about allowing myself to eat "real world" food in sensible portions with a little care and caution and still being able to make my goal. So I've decided perhaps I need small goals to keep me going each week. Ok, this week I'm shooting for my 50 lb. lost mark. I'm at -44.6 right now. I believe I can do it this week. It will be the most I've ever lost. I'm going to do it and then have a giant fatsecret.com celebration and everyone reading this is invited :) Wish me luck! Also, any ideas on who in the world can fix treadmills???? Here we go!!! Have a great week all!

Congratulations!! That is awesome, and I use to live in Virginia Beach where they have Krisy Kreme doughnuet shop. Yuo are right, there is nothing like them fresh out of the ove. So happy there is none around where I live now.
Keep up the great work! You are an inspiration.

Congratulations on reaching your 10% goal... and good luck for this coming week... keep it up, you can do it!! Was your treadmill new? Even if it wasn't... try contacting the manufacturer, as they maybe able to help with repairs. If you try googling online, you will probably be able to find your supplier. Alternatively maybe try sports shops or even health clubs... as no doubt the latter need maintenance for their gym equipment, so they too might be able to put you in touch with someone. Anyway, good luck and I hope that you manage to get it fixed! Hope you have another great week... just keep remembering that little goal and you will see reach it. :o)

I allow myself a day off on either saturday or sunday,where i don't coint my points,and i'm still losing.I don't go crazy on food but i'll go out for lunch or dinner and not worry about what i eat.My treadmill broke after 1 week and we found that the sensor on the motor was a bit dirty and loose,it took 10 minutes to fix and has been fine since.Check all your conections you may find the problem there..i'm up for celebration when you reach your goal.. i'll put the champagne on ice..

If the treadmill's only two months old it should still be under warranty.
