hey all, wussy again....well, i'm starting the diet again. my goal is to go a month with only 3 cheats TOTAL...so...i figured that was a good goal *and that's only cheats, not cheat days...* ANYWAY, i'm going to take my start weight and measurements tomorrow, i have all my vitamins and the like, and i was wondering if there was anything else i should do to get myself prepared...i'm thinking about getting before and after pics taken, but i don't know whom i wish to take the pics...after all, i'm not a real pretty site at the moment *eek* :eek: aaanyway, I PASSED ALL MY CLASSES WITH FLYING COLORS!!!! WOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! celebrate good times, COME ON *L* alright, i'm off to see Shrek...'night all :)

hey ...
 
Good luck with your program ...

As for the pictures, even though it may feel silly to get it done now ... TRUST ME, you'll want them when you get to your goal.
Worst case, take a pic of yourself in a mirror, wearing a bathing suit or something along those lines ...

Congratulations on passing your classes.

Perfect suggestion Dan ..;)

w/p, that's exactly what I did a year ago; got some brutal pics of me in my underwear no less .. :eek: .. And save some "fat" clothes too. I mean, I already know yer gonna do fine over the summer and lose lots o' lbs, but next winter, when the dull grey doldrums set in (hey, you're still gonna be with us then, right??? There's a few of us who support each other through the S.A.D. effects of winter) .. Anyway ... when you reach a really frustratin point, like a stall or plateau, all you need to do is look at those fat pics, or try on those fat clothes, and you'll see how far you've come ... and the desire to keep going will be reinforced. You can do this sweetie... :D

Nice going on the exams! You'll do terrific, I just know it.

Warning!: Broken record: On

Takes measurements as well! :)

Broken Record: Off

Wussy, open a thread in the journal/bootcamp forum so we can track your progress and drill you with suggestions :)

Do as I say, not as I do :)

You got me! Every single day I plan on posting after I clear my email tray, just 32 left after I deleted a lot of junk.

Wa'il

take the pics!!!
 
Wussypuff,
I most definitely agree that you should take pics. They may want to make you cry when you see them but it is very motivating! I had my bf take mine and I was in my bathing suit. I saw them and was shocked at the "side chunk" as I affectionately call it! They got me motivated and I felt GREAT when I saw the after pics because the pics really track your progress!!

Congrats on passing the exams---- I remember fondly (ok, not so fondly) finals week!! ugh!! Lots of all-nighters and lots of cappochino!!!
