Olivia - congratulations!!!!!!! so happy for you Now I need to get my butt in gear and catch up to you!
Sadly, I am up a pound to 194.1. Complete lack of sleep this week. It's killing me. Not sure what's bothering this little bugger at night, but I am willing him to sleep through the night again, so that I can too. So tired.
Kukkie I am so sorry I pray he sleeps through the night tonight. I know it's super hard when you have to get up and go to work.

Ladies, I saw a new low 159.4 I was gonna eat a baked potato last night after church but I didn't. I made it then wrapped it and put it in the fridge. Instead I ate crustless pepperoni pizza. Going to a movie today so I hope the popcorn doesn't mess me up since I'm eating it early in the day, have a pass that gives popcorn and a drink. One of my evening weaknesses was/is popcorn and it use to get me every time with the water gain in the morning. Hoping to keep the numbers going down the rest of the week
Goodness, travel day already. Week flew by! Nasty storms in Dallas, hoping to get home at a decent hour!
Worked out last night. Having some family drama so couldn't get my focus on jogging so just walked 2.5 miles. Not great but it was something and got me sweating. Still on my food plan this week so that's definitely some progress
Rennie, congrats!! New lows are fun Way to go!
Kukkie, praying for rest for you soon!
Fadedbluejeans, welcome!!
Olivia, Way to go!!!! Congrats!! Very inspiring 180's were my decade that I reached....got a long way to go but really ready to get back there!!!
Thank you so much, ladies! It does feel good to be in the 180's.
Kukkie - no sleep really kills! I'm hoping your little peanut will start relaxing through the night so mommy can get some rest!
Rennie - wow! The 150's!! That is awesome!! Aaaaah, it was so long ago that I was there lol. Congrats! Here's some "stick dust"
akelly - 2.5 miles is better than no miles Sorry to hear you're having family drama...boy do I know what that's like You're sticking to it and that's great!
Seems like quite a few of us are going out of town. I'll be heading out of town a week from today for the wedding. I'm looking forward to all my family/friends being in the same location.
I am still waiting on my treadmill!!! If I was in the treadmill business, knowing what I know about people who want to lose weight, I would have delivery within 24 hours with set up! When you are ready....you are ready....you CANNOT have a 3 week delivery time! Thank goodness for this walking challenge that I am still interested :-)
By the way, since 4/23 've been logging at least 10000 steps. There were 2 days that I was under. It is very difficult getting 10000 steps a day, especially if you think that you are active "at work" -- you'd be amazed! I have to go walking during lunch and in the evenings for 1 hour to make my steps! Try it! :-)
Thanks for the support everyone! So, last night turned into a nightmare! The bottom fell out when I was walking to my car in the parking lot - got absolutely soaking wet - like I had jumped in a pool. So, co-worker and I drove to the airport and just MASSIVE flash flooding everywhere. Got to Hertz rental and dropped the car off. Yet again, continuing to be soaked. Had to stand outside for 20 mins waiting on shuttle and there were straight line winds gusting with the rain. Just stood there because at that point, not much else to do! So, got to the terminal and had to be herded into the tornado shelter due to the tornado warning since once was spotted pretty close by. Got changed into a different outfit, got to gate. Flight cancelled (you would think they would have cancelled before all this, but no!). Sooo....last step - get on the phone and luckily due to status got re-booked on the later flight going out of the other Dallas airport so had to hop in a cab and spend an hour in traffic getting to the other airport (only like 15 miles away lol). Of course had crazy delays there - so what was originally a 5:30pm flight finally left DFW at 11:30pm. Landed in GA at 1:45am and drove home and walked in the door at 3:45am. Woke up at 8am for my doctors appointment....
So anyways, that's my saga and how does the weight loss angels reward me for all that hard work this week?? They don't! Only lost 1 pound. I was so disappointed, but I'm hoping it's lack of sleep and lack of BM's. Blah!
LGW, I have some coworkers that got fit bits and are doing the walking challenge. They really love it and track their steps like calories!! You are so right about a 3 week wait! Geez! Think they would offer like a $50-100 expedited fee or something to get that down to 1 week for those that are eager. Motivation and timing is everything in the weight loss world!
Rennie, sorry for TOM Mine is in a week or so.....ugh. Not looking forward to it!
Olivia, Have fun with your family!!!
katerina, hope you have safe trip and have fun as well!!
akelly - oh my goodness! I'm glad you finally made it safely; that's the most important part.
Me, I was at 193.5 this morning. As I'm typing this, I realized that I've completely neglected my water intake this week; probably because I'm drinking so much coffee. If I had enough water in me, I'd probably not need so much coffee. How's that for irony?
LGW, I hate ordering things and then having to wait. The anticipation drives me nuts What are you using to track your steps?
akelly sorry you had to go through all of that to get home but glad you made it safely
Kukkie I've been on a coffee kick these last few days but I've also been getting my water in and every food item that I want along with it ... That's my
Losing4another good to see you ... you're not updating ... we're looking for you
TOM is still here, I'm up 2lbs to 161.4, expecting to see higher tomorrow since I ate everything in site today
Thank you, Rennie! I took that pic this weekend after going on a shopping spree and having my makeup done at a Lord & Taylor counter lol!
I hope everyone had a Happy Mother's Day!
The wedding is this week! I'm leaving on Thursday. The original dress that I ordered that did not fit me when it came 2 months ago now fits perfectly. My aunt is just doing some alterations in the boob area so that I'm not spilling out lol. It seems I can never just pick a dress in my size and have the boob area fit (I was just measured this weekend and I wear a 36G!). I'm hoping these girls will become more manageable as I continue to lose weight lol.
Olivia I hope we get to see a picture of you in your dress.
weigh in this morning 166.2 I ate a crazy amount of junk food yesterday but wow. The sodium in all of the chips I ate was the kicker I'm sure and the cup cakes but they are gone now so I should have a nice drop tomorrow IF I eat (low calorie /low carb today)
on the new decade and 
only 1.5 from your next mini goal 
Doing great 
Now I need to get my butt in gear and catch up to you!
You're sticking to it and that's great!
