Now, I will be honest...with my schedule this may not happen often but I will try becuase I appreciate your support as well :-)
ANGIE: thanks for the new thread!
BECK: you are doing awesome with the weight loss
KUKKIE: Keep it up, you are on a downward trend...also Fitday is a good program for logging your food (years ago it worked for me by logging in what I "planned" to eat the night before)...there are also great apps on the cellphone...I have one that I use to track my weight with graphs and goals!
MADAME: We have a similar trend of fluctuations; however, the trend is down!
FUTURE: great attitude! you are doing awesome with your weight loss!
DIANA: your overall progress is definitely motivational...thanks for posting
VIXSIN: you are almost at your goal weight....I feel so inspired!
LINDY: Hello you're going great!
JAMISUE: I can taste the 2-teens dangling in my face...I feel like Pavlov's dog...I have vowed that once I am under a certain weight I will never see certain numbers again...right now that number is 225 Keep up the good work!
MANGO: Stay in there...fluctuations will occur...they are fluctuations...not set backs...just monitor thr trend and overall it is a downward trend Look at my trend....this is what got my scale thrown in the trunk of my car when I first started this process, now I am comfortable with the fluctuations because I am so aware of my HEALTHY eating habits that I refuse to be defeated by the scale...I actuallly enjoy monitoring my trends now...they say if walls could talk...I say "if scales could talk"
ECLIPSE: Hello! What's 0.2 among friends
Konfyoozed: Celebrate!!!!
Love2B: I feel like 220 is hiding from me :-)
Diana: Hopefully they figure out what is going on....
GALE02: Sorry to hear about everything that's going on. Hang in there. We're hear to listen (or read)
COONDOCKS: "no-hot-wing-goodness wagon" :-)
ahhhh...I did it....and it felt good!
LGW Just for today I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. It will eliminate 2 pests -- hurry and indecision
TTOM still hasn't started, but I will get insomnia around TTOM time. The last time TTOM was early, so I guess this time it will be late.
I knew last weekend when I had that gain that there had to be something else going on beside me eating a few hundred extra calories for my Birthday. Crazy food allergies! I will blow up 2-3 pounds every time I have a significant reaction. I never know if I am having a reaction until I am well into it. Initially I will be suspicious of a sodium gain. Oh well.
Here's an equation for you:
allergic reaction + no bathroom time since Sunday + insomnia (waking up 3 hours early) + pending TTOM = a bad weigh in
Kukkie How long did you do testing? Did you do skin testing or was it blood work? I did some skin testing, but everything was negative. I'm just concerned that the Dr won't be able to figure it out. On a positive note, at least my reactions are not as bad as they used to be and of course I don't have anaphylactic shock. I am grateful for that.
Gale Sometimes it seems like when it rains it pours. Hang in there.
Angie I'm curious if your gain is from the sodium/msg of eating out, not calories. I know you are sensitive, too.
Rennie Congrats on the victory with the cashews! I worked my way around chocolate. We have to appreciate all of our victories.
FutureThoughts I hear you on that bloated feeling. I've got that one covered, too.
Vixsin Congrats on that pound!
Lindy Hi
Coondocks Congrats on your weigh in yesterday! And a big for your school/classes!
Not a lot of time for personals.. yesterday was too hot to type!
JamiSue - I had the exact same WI as you yesterday! I'm expecting a gain this morning since the humidity makes me bloat up like crazy!
Coondocks - yesterday was UNBELIEVABLE!! OMG, and if sweating meant losing weight? We'd both be skinny by now
Rennie - I guess learning lessons is important.. but when I'm at a pool with a ton of skinny girls I definitely don't remember why I didn't learn my lesson sooner!
Angie& Kukkie - Good luck on Thursday with this heat, it's intense to say the least
And with that, I'm off to work. I am off tomorrow so I can properly catch up!

I'm here and still trucking! Thanks for asking Rennie
Down 1.5 for the month.. woohoo? I just keep going through days of big gains then whooshes, losing the same weight. Tracking again. Helping this week. Biggest help has been no eating out this past weekend! My top goal is to keep foods at home where I can cut out sodium.
Drinking water, staying cool and trying to move when possible. I try to keep up on this thread for personals... hehe
I felt like crud yesterday and other than getting up to potty and hit the scale, I slept until noon. The scale was friendly though and I was down .8 to 171.6. When I finally got up I ended up driving an hour away to see a friend, so I never made it on here. I am feeling better today and the scale is down .2 to 171.4. Yay!
Aimee - I'm glad you are about over it. Sorry about the bump, but we all know how to handle these things
Jeri - Yay new low!
Coondocks - I am lovin your excitement about school. I totally have months when TOM makes me crave hotwings, so if you wanna blame the jerk, I'm behind you 100%
Mandy - 1/3 of the way there is a good reason to celebrate. Your pizza toast sounds yummy.
Diana - I hope they figure it out for you. I know it must be nerve wracking.
Gale -
Angie - If you are eating out then it's almost certainly a sodium issue more than too many calories
Up slightly, 0.6 to 201.2 which isn't bad considering the major whoosh yesterday, but since I was seriously OP yesterday and had lots of water, I'm blaming it on the humidity. My legs were so heavy this morning and I can barely move my rings, ugh. BBL for personals.
Rennie - 167 will be a nice 7 to see on the scale.
JamieSue - Thank you! I have been jogging 5 days a week, have managed to keep my cals with in my preferred cal range...and the scale has been cooperative lately. My perfect trifecta.
Kukkie - I love those wooshes!
Diana - I hope the Dr.s can help you figure it out soon.
Coon - I frequently crave salty things when TOM is around, so it is possible to crave wings.
Angie - There is bound to be alot of sodium in your meals from eating out. I bet if you were able to cut out restraunt food and watch your sodium you would drop that 2lbs plus more.
Jamie and Rennie - Your camping talk reminded me of one of our camping trips last year. All 5 of us had our own airmattresses, so my husband slept by one exit and I slept by the other. I woke up around 4 am saw that everyone was sound asleep and rolled over. A few minutes later I hear the zipper above my head being opened and I SCREAMED my head off. Then I look up and my husband had gotten up, stepped over the kids and was opening the air flap a little more. LOL I am sure I spooked some other campers out!
Mango I am like LGW - After tracking daily for a while, I have gotten to the point where I enjoy annalyzing the fluctuations. If I did not track daily I would not have learned that for some reason my body holds onto weight for 5-9 days until I ovulate, then the weight I should have lost comes off pretty rapidly.
LGW - I do not do personals very often, I do enjoy this thread daily though.
Do you mind if I sneak back in? I've not been such a great accountability partner lately and I do apologize. I am realizing that I do much better if I come here and post with you guys daily....rain or shine! I'm extremely frustrated with myself, but all I really know to do at this point is to keep trying. I've not gained all of my weight back, but I can feel he difference in the how my clothes feel on me.
Can't seem to find the time for personals.Been spending a lot of time at the gym, must do old faithful...the Track,fix food and rest Sore as all get out tried spinning yesterday,loved it. tried to walk off the soreness this morning,it helped some but my back leg muscles and my whole body ache all over Still going to Power Pump in 30mins still have to shower and change.. sigh..WI @182.0 today.Pushing hard, I'm on a Mission The 80's Must die
Rennie you are doing excellent you're sooo in the groove
173.2 - not at all as bad as I was expecting. More water today, certainly less salt and definately no more hot wings!
Aimee - Touche on the heat, if it were that easy Winnipeg would be a weight loss haven in the summer . . . . whats with the freaky darkness outside? It's very unsettling . . .
Diana - So glad you got the work done, I hope you get some answers, I can't imagine how frustrating that must be not knowsing . . . and yet here you are, maintaining a tremndous weight loss . . . do you know how awesome you are??
FitGirly - Im beyond excited right now! I've heard so many of my friends/family talk about the 'passion' for what they do, I never had that - this just creeped up on me and low and behold - here's my passion in life Im totally blaming TOM for the hot wing cravings
Shyla - Keep rocking it out, we all know how hard it can be and you're pressing on, kudos!!
LGW - NICE drop this morning!! no-hot-wing-goodness . . . . it's like crack for me, for real, love the ridiculously spicy brings tears to your eyes hot wings. Le sigh ha haha
Angie – I have the same problem when I eat out, even if I make the healthiest choice I can, some how it puts a wrench in things. Its nice now that we have a place that does all clean recipes, it helps a lot but I’m going to use that as a last resort, or only option kind of thing. Keep strong, hopefully you’ll find a nice balance soon I hope you don’t get the weather we have been, its ridonculous!
Love – I get so excited when I make a new playlist, I’m lame like that ha ha. What have you got on yours? Im always curious to see what gets others up and moving with that Yay im gonna kick some butt vibe.
Ona – Ohhh spinning . . . I love that, I so wish the classes I could find here actually fit into my schedule
Vix – You’ve inspired me to give the yoga another go . . . . and hey, I can open the windows and have my own little hot yoga studio . . . that’s actually kind of sad that I can say that ;p
I know I’m missing some people, so sorry about that . . . . . have a fabulous day everyone!!
Personals! :-)
you're going great!
Keep up the good work! 
Look at my trend....this is what got my scale thrown in the trunk of my car when I first started this process, now I am comfortable with the fluctuations because I am so aware of my HEALTHY eating habits that I refuse to be defeated by the scale...I actuallly enjoy monitoring my trends now...they say if walls could talk...I say "if scales could talk" 
Guess who woke up at 3 AM?
for your school/classes!
I really am my own worst enemy sometimes
