I gained this month...BIG TIME...changed my ticker...over 7 lbs gained! Perhaps hiding the scale away was NOT a good idea...and I lost over 2 lbs since monday so the gain could have been worse. I really don't get it...I mean my food was not on track but it's not like I went totally crazy...arg...
I'm not letting this make me give up this time though! I am slowly getting back on track with food and keeping up with the exercise...and I FEEL better despite gaining.
I took measurements today too...most stayed the same...some places gained a half inch and of course...I lost an inch on my chest! lol figures...anyway I am just going to take steps to make life healthier all the time and if I am still this size when I get married...so be it! My FH will think I am gorgeous walking down that aisle and that's all that really matters

I gotta make this about health rather than numbers or I will drive myself crazy!

Hey Kristin

Thatz the spirit girl!You are gorgeous and you will make a beautiful bride
It is always better if you do it for yourself...than anyone else...I mean the weight loss thing.I would suggest you take salt completely out from your diet for a week( use no-salt instead). Sodium can cause lot of water retention than actual weight gain.
My DH usually freaks out after realizing he ate a whole bag of chips (alone!!!) during a game and usually he goes up by like 3-4 lbs!!!Then I make him do the no-salt thing and he is back on track!
However, it is never a good idea hiding the scale away.I weigh myself regularly and if i gain more than 2 lbs....my mental alarm sets off!!! That way...no nasty surprises.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Kristen--Every girl wants to look their best on their wedding day but, if your future husband is worth his salt, he will love you for what is inside and not outside. MJ gave good advice and any small change you make will make a difference. Just don't give up on yourself and decide that nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. Hope that helps a little. I know how hard it can be but youy have to deny yourself alittle to get the results you want. Hang in there!!!

I survived Halloween with only a couple pieces of candy and we have none left over - yipee! The children only went to 7 houses, so they don't have masses amount either.

Started the 2 day Take Off today using cantaloupe! I feel mentally prepared to start this diet - I hope it lasts. However after 3 nights of eating out... I have a little extra to lose.

Kristen - I know so many people say to put the scale away and focus on eating properly. I NEED to see the scale - it helps keep me on track if I "weigh-in" every morning. Do what works for you!
