Congrats Ames!!!

That's a hard earned compliment Lulu!! Love it.

I'm having a good morning but ws up all night with horrid leg cramps.

I worked 13.5 hours yesterday, then went straight to airport to get Z last night. After a 5 hour conference call I was exhausted.

This weekend staying as low carb as possible given we I'll eat out a lot. Saturday is a carb refeed day after meat and Eggz since Sunday.

Scale is kind. Carbs have been under 20 all week. Very little dairy, only in coffee.

Way to go Lulu! A compliment from a teenager is the best!

Head cold and retaining water....not a great combination! On a positive note I walked outside for the first time this winter...50 minutes..it was a balmy 35 yesterday and should be into the 40s today!! Happy Saturday...best wishes for an on-plan day! N

I LOVE to watch a good race! Go girls go!

Lulu, I'm sorry about your cold.

I'm off to walk 5k, then the farmers market, then cook all day!

Hope you feel better Lulu!
Haha Calee. I'm just trying to keep Sue motivated. I'm excited to see her getting closer and closer to that 100 lb mark! Wow, busy day for you. Have fun!

Still 172...still fighting a cold!!! 35 minutes on the treadmill yesterday and no walk outside because I don't feel so great...homemade chicken soup today!! I look puffy but the scale isn't up so ill take it!! After this cold and TOM, I better see something good on the scale!! Working through my second box of tissues.....

Yesterday walked 90 minutes, cooked and cleaned. Did my Meat and Eggz refeed as per the program. One meal that was not bad. 4 tortilla chips, 4 crackers, one slice pound cake, s trawberries, 2 dates, 2 wine. Up three pounds from Thursday but worse is how I feel. Going for a long walk in the woods to recover this morning.

Callee, how long did you do meat & eggs? I've never done that, but I've seen others get results. I've never seen the high carb refeed part though. Could you do it with just fruit and veg and get the same benefits?

My major commitments :

- weigh in daily (I already do this)
- keep a daily food log (I've seriously resisted this and it is hard for me to commit to, but frankly I think it's what I will need to do to move through this weight decade that has stalled me for years in the past)

Weight bounced up yesterday and stayed up today. Not sure why but will just ride it out before I tweak anything. Possibly it's hormonal.

Treadmill yesterday and I will work out eventually today...slow morning with day light saving...holding at 172!! It's nice to have my whole family together even though it is just the 4 of us!! My cold just won't let go yet!! My low carb chicken soup is great...just regular soup without the noodles!! Warm and very satisfying!! Best wishes for an on-plan day!!

Hi Girls Happy Monday.. trying to be positive today..
Had a bad weekend. Couple reasons. But I wont go through all of that..
Had pizza on Saturday. Was good. but woke up Sunday feeling so sick..
Because I been eating so clean. and didn't..My system said.What the heck is this sludge!

Still feeling down.. Wont even step on the scale until a few clean eating days to see what damage I did..

Calee!! how did the 5k go?. A did a couple of them in my life time. I loved it.
I lost 30 lbs training for my first one. I always did a speedwalk not run. but the way my backs been lately, don't think I should even attempt that. Not to mention no one ever wants to do it with me..

LULU holding is better than gaining!! I hope that cold leaves you soon and your back to being your self!!

Sarainparis! hi!!! I know the hormonal thing.. argh.. Good luck. I hope you get a swoosh of weight loss soon!

NewMe12 I hope all is going good for you!!! Happy Monday.

Hang in there Sarah, your body is just confused. It really means to be going the other way. It will figure it out soon.

Lulu...so sorry you are still feeling bad! Proud of you for exercising while sick. That is one area I've got to do better in.

Calee...it sounds like you could have done a lot worse. The most important thing is that you had a great time with your son! Hope those lbs leave you soon and you feel better.

Ames...I'm sorry your weekend was bad. Hope things get better! I've had pizza with my son twice since I started this. I usually eat a salad and then eat the toppings off 4-6 pieces of pizza (they're small at CiCi's Pizza . Everything is going good here. My daughter is home from college for spring break so I'm enjoying her!

Sue...I miss reading your posts. Hope everything is ok!

Well back to work for me tonight. I hope everyone has a great week and that a lot of lbs dissapear (and stay gone)!!

1.7.4...OMG!! My face is so swollen this morning and my sinuses are pulsing...everything is off and we are getting a foot of snow on Thursday!! If this were my real life..shouldn't I be enjoying it!! Ok...pity party over because everything will get back to normal...hopefully soon!! Bet wishes for an on-plan day!!

Dropping Z at airport this morning. Back on steak and Eggz. Knew I would eat off plan and I did. How quickly 3 pounds come back.

Sarah, I won't do refeed again, this was special occasion. Next time just fruit to replenish glycogen and not often, maybe 12 days.

I walk a 5k several times a week. There is a path around the lake in my front yard that is 5k. Easy to do.

Gotta run and shower to get to airport.

Laterz.....

I've made it from 176 to 172 so far. Still 7 more pounds to go.

Calee...Right... And how slowly they come off!!
Topaz...great job! Glad to hear from you. Keep it up.
Lulu...so sorry. The weight gain is probably just water retention from the sodium in your chicken soup. Feel better soon!
