ugh, I've been struggling too, with mostly my eating. I cant get back into seriously tracking my calories. I'm trying to, today, but its hard with what my husband cooked for dinner, as I have no idea what the calories are. I think I did a pretty good guess, but its hard to say. lol I was happy he cooked dinner, that I didnt want to bug him about the calorie count in it
According to the site posted, its pretty close to what I've read/calculated on other sites, so thats good.

I cant believe I gained weight this week, I havent lost any actual weight in a few months - I keep gaining and losing the same few lbs! I need to get over that! And I know its mostly my eating thats holding me back.
I'm going running in the AM, so I feel good about that.
Congrats, Lucky, on your WL
thats awesome!!
Ranger - I hate that when my husband does things like your brother did to you. And I know that if I'm not wearing the 'right' work out clothes, I dont have a good work out. I dont know why. I've thought about joining a PF, but I'm enjoying being outside this summer. Maybe in the winter I'll consider it, since it is pretty cheap.
