My eating has been so poor lately, 213.8 was my weigh in ack! Still without internet but that should be rectified by Friday in the meantime know I'm still here, still think of you all and having my good and bad days. I can't wait for this to be fixed grrr.
Btw Friday the 13th marks 21 months on my journey, please know I won't stop fighting and working toward my goal and neither should you.

Happy 21 months!!! What a commitment to yourself, you should be so proud. Today makes 3 months for me, since I officially started tracking calories August 13th.

Bad days happen, and your weight will go right back down. Don't even stress, you've got this!

Congrats. You are doing a great job. I hope to get where you are soon

[Candidcamster]

thank you both! This past week I've been struggling still without internet! Lol we have Uverse but it's not working, we're waiting for a resolution but it could take weeks unless we choose another provider. Sighs
Anyhow I'm finally back on track, thank God! After 1 week of binge eating I'm finally back to myself and caring for me, it feels good. I'll check in periodically I suspect I may have gained around 10 lbs between real fat and water weight this week, we will see in a couple of weeks lots of love you guys thank you so much!

I'm new here and I just finished reading your thread. I didn't read the whole thing just the first 3 pages and then a few posts from each page until the end. You are doing a great job and you are so brave to be honest about everything. I'm glad you are back on track and I will continue to read your thread to help cheer you on your way!

[Candidcamster]

Hi Rosestara! Thank you for joining me and posting! Sad to say I'm still without internet and the lack of accountability is contributing to some bad days but things are getting better. I look forward to things being together by the end of this month, fingers crossed and wishing all of us the best on our journeys!

Still without internet what else is new lol, 212.4 weigh in not my lowest but super happy about it. Tmi but my TOM began today a little early, and my non scale victory is that I wanted to pig out today but opted for tomato soup and a biscotti not bad! Lol *hugs* I'm with you guys in spirit and I'm still very much on my journey, lots of love and positive vibes, keep going!

[rosestara]

great job avoiding temptation!

[LesGetFit]

Great job! I know that number feels good. You will be back at your lowest before you know it, and right past it to something even lower!

[Candidcamster]

Thank you both, Lesgetfit your progress is fantastic whoa!! Keep kicking butt, today's weigh in was 210.6 which is excellent for me, though .6 higher than my lowest I'm down from where I was. Feeling very positive and hoping to be out of the 210's this month, just .8 to go lol. I'm also hoping to end this year at 95 lbs down, currently I'm at 91 lbs down so 4 lbs to in 5 1/2 weeks.

I forgot to mention the revelation I had recently:
Seek and ye shall find, no I didn't make that up but it hit me like a ton of bricks recently. I've been struggling so hard with food lately without the internet accountability and going different places to bum theirs, like tonight at Barnes and Noble. I've gained weight some pms related and most was probably due to poor choices, and I couldn't see a way out before getting my home internet fixed. Until I really looked inside myself and looked around me and realized there's almost always a better choice.

As the cliches go when there's a will there's a way and if you really want something you'll find a way otherwise you'll find an excuse, well I learned I really want this... So my way was checking the menus more thoroughly and buying tomato basil soup from Jason's Deli and Barnes and Noble instead of quiche and fatty sandwiches or pizza. Biscotti instead of a near 500 calorie muffin! You get the picture, scan those menus thoroughly and look up the nutrition online, you're worth the effort, I'm not perfect but I'm learning. God bless us all and the best to everyone on this journey, you can do this, just keep going!

Still without internet, but I wanted to give an update, I'm finally out of the 2-teens thank God for the first time in my adult life! I'm avoiding the scale until Thanksgiving morning. I'm still debating if I'm going to pig out with ice cream and Chinese Food for Thanksgiving and immediately get back on track, we'll see. ((Hugs)) and thanks for staying with me through this annoying time lol.

[LesGetFit]

Way to go!!! Awesome to hit a new low, you should be very proud! You have really worked hard and you look amazing! You are such an inspiration, truly. Whatever you choose to do for Thanksgiving, I hope you have a lovely holiday!

[Candidcamster]

Thank you Lesgetfit, hoping you had a great Thanksgiving! I'm flat out struggling right now, not weighing in for a little while, but I'm still fighting.
