I'm sorry, but I couldn't find the usual thread for the journal entries. If it is somewhere, tell me!
However, I need to post my journal entries - at least this first week back - as a way to be accountable. Hope ya'll don't mind!

Yes I was told that the next time I would move down when I get to 175 I would lose a V and I thought she said the portion sizes were a little smaller. I'm getting ready to go into the COD so I could ask again.
Hope things turn around for you soon I know it can get a little frustrating. I think I would be concerned getting to my goal weight of 180 by June 18th if the exercising more slows the weight loss down. I weighed this AM and of course the scale shows 200.2 I new I got to excited seeing 199.8 yesterday. I think my system is testing me to see if I will also stay POP over the weekend I'll catch up more in the other thread later.
I just got back from the center and they did confirm it is 1 less veggie and less portions sizes, but she didn't go into it since I am quite aways from moving down. Hope that helps.
Thanks for asking Barb - Do you ladies think I should move or just stick with gold?? Someone on the other thread mentioned maybe moving to red or maybe purple? Shennie - any thoughts? I'm really only doing around 4 hours / week on the weight training and cardio.....
