Kim, hi and welcome! 
I was typing my post as yours went up. Wow! Congrats on your 18 lb. loss so far. I've been a yo-yo dieter most of my life, too. Most health professionals tell us to not try to lose more than two pounds a week anyway--is better for us and gives our body more time to adjust to it's new weight. This is THE BEST group-so friendly and supportive. I think you'll love it here.
Logging off now--hope to see you here tomorrow.

Sorry, Mern, I just clicked on the link you posted with what you saw, and yes, those are the right videos...the Inside Out Method ones.
Hi Kim; we're really glad you're along for the ride! Congrats on your progress; look forward to chatting with you!

Hello Gang!
Had a horribly busy day. So busy, in fact, that I only had one proper meal all day and kind of stuffed all of my calories into that! I feel like a stuffed pig right now. Ugh... My car was finally done today so when the shop offered to pick me up to get it I declined and said that I needed the walk anyway. Little did I know it would be 40 degrees F. with 30-40 mph winds. But, I toughed the mile and a half out like a fool. (Hubby was working out of town and daughter was out of town for a school competition.) I had a jacket with a fox trimmed hood on, pulled tight so all you could see were my eyes and nose. lol The staff there looked at me like I was insane. Walking into 40 mph winds is actually a pretty fun workout. I was surprised at how hard it actually was. lol About 6 blocks of my walk was down a busy highway. I must have looked scrumptious! Hopefully, no one recognized my eyes and nose!
Mern,
Part of Lucky's stable? LOL Only if he has a stable full of 48 y/o horses!!! What a sad selection that would be! As far as age, I loved turning 40. I had no problem with that at all. In fact, I was kind of proud of it. 50 just sounds a lot worse to me, for some reason. Hope your fish fry was awesome. (Mine was!)
Mike (aka: Pimp Daddy),
Have fun Saturday. Loved reading that you had a successful week smiling more and bitching less. (Still say we should have shirts... lol) It could become an international trend... a money maker... we all could be famous... 
Be safe. The weather in the south looks like what I had last weekend.
Cassie,
Like I said, stay safe. Get the candles and flashlights ready! Hope the weather improves for your plans tomorrow.
Kim,
So glad you're here. Your goals look very sensible and achievable. (And we'll be a thorn in your side if you slack off! lol) Mike has a pimp cane for slackers, you know...
See you losers tomorrow...

Quinn, doesn't sound like any of you was visible, let alone recognizable! Glad you made it safely.
Check In:
1. Stick to calorie limit. I'll give it a B, Yes!, Yes, Yes (bumped it higher because of the exercise), Yes
2. Balance pie chart (no specific percentages; just use common sense). Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes
3. Exercise 6 days. Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes
4. Sleep at least 7 hours nightly. Yes, No, No, Yes, Yes
5. Drink 2-3 big blue bottles of water each day. Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes
6. No impulse snacking! Mostly, Yes (meaning no snacking), Yes, Once- went to say goodnight to my hubby and he had those damn bunnies...so I snatched 7 or 8 of them, about a quarter serving, Yes
7. Clean out purse & wallet and file receipts. Done!
8. Sweep garage. Done!
9. Flowers for front porch. Done, and repotted a big ole' plant in the family room.
10. Make healthy snacks/quick breakfasts/bread for the week and for freezer. Yes
11. Change sheets and towels for MIL visit Friday. Yes
12. Plan meals for weekend. Yes. Had to plan around son's preferences, as he's the one putting it out there in a tourney this weekend, and all I can say is that I might possibly have some teensy, weensy regret over pledging to post my weekend food journal!
Here's the accountability of me posting my food log. Not a lot of creativity and no time to tweak things. But knowing I had to post it did make me think twice about a few things, and hopefully I will continue to do so tomorrow and Sunday. http://s1186.photobucket.com/albums/...ccountability/
Trying to save a few calories because we agreed to take Grandma for frozen yogurt after matches are over tomorrow. I know it won't work to deny it, so might as well plan for it. It's also my day off from exercise, so I hope it doesn't bite me in the butt...

If you like It I can send you the file I created and you can have your local print shop make them up for you. It should run about ~$10 each (price is including the shirt).
