BJ!!, so good to "see" you again. You know you would tell anyone else to keep posting even when they are not on plan. Don't disappear on us again. I know I'm one to talk, I am pretty sporadic myself, but as long as we find our way back, right?
And
Rhonda!! good to "see" you as well. I think your suggestion is a great one, particularly the blurb at the beginning.
mj and nicole, lottie, and Diane thanks for holding down the fort for the prodigal daughters.
mj, I'm glad things are moving ahead with your surgery.
lottie, I saw some of those swimdresses at the beginning of the summer when I was looking for a new suit, they are really cute. They didn't have my size though, so I ended up splurging on a Land's End suit that squeezes everything in.
okay, group hug time!
Well, if any of you have been wondering what's going on with me, here's a quick recap. Last October, I had lost 70 lbs in 18 months and things were going really well. Then I don't know what happened. Over the holidays and spilling into the new year, I kind of went nuts and ended up gaining back 15 lbs. I did get a handle on things and have been maintaining for about 6 months now, but having a really hard time moving back into lose mode. I did pretty well in June and July and I think I've re-lost 5 of those lbs., but it's pre-TOM and I am not going near a scale for a week or so to check. And yes, I really need to fess up and change that ticker and avatar. I've been away a lot this summer on vacation and work trips, so haven't been able to post here much. Last week, I was away all week at a conference. Food was provided, but none of it on-plan, of course. The hotel I stayed in did not have a fridge and microwave, no free breakfast, and I didn't have a car to get groceries. I brought some non-perishables with me, and the first few days I worked really hard to stay as on-plan as possible, but that got very old and by the end of the week I was scarfing down the pastries. SO, back to square 1, Ph1 detox again.
I've got a girls' getaway trip planned in late September and I'd really like to be down a few more by then.
so today...
