Shells – Sorry to hear about the sick kiddo and your lack of sleep. However, I’m so happy to hear about your awesome lab work and your 9 pound loss in April!!!
Larry – You’re doing great!!
Stacy – You’ve got an exercised packed day today!
Road – I’m glad you’re back!! As for the comments, I say whaaatevaa! I’ve had some kind of rude comments too that about 20 pounds ago I looked “super thin!” What? I was NOT. I say get to where you feel comfortable. You started this journey for YOU!! @ your DH being concerned about your losing your “girls.” Silly men!
Novel – I’m so sorry my dear!!! Sadly, I think we all know that feeling and it sucks. BUT, you shouldn’t feel hopeless! You’re a smart, sweet, gorgeous girl and you’ll do just fine!! You keep on truckin’ pretty lady!!!

Ugh... I want to write so many personals, but I hopped on between appts. for today. Hugs to Novelista. Everyone else... soon!
My, down .2 and a busy week for me. I have to prepare a presentation about Croatia and write a speech about The Super Mom Conundrum. AND somehow get the garden in AND be a chaperone for a field trip (tomorrow). EEK!
Novelista--so sorry you are going through a sad time Hang in there!!
Roadbikerchick--I think your doctor will give you a good objective opinion. I think healthy weight is a RANGE...some people prefer a thinner look, some don't. But--if i were you--i wouldn't be offended, i would be pleased!
I was on plan on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Yesterday, i had planned a cheat, which turned into a binge. I was going to have a cheat meal again tonight but now i'm cancelling that. Weight is still 148.5 this morning so think i might be out of the 150s for good!!
roadbiker I say do what feels right to you. Some people don't get the understanding that some thoughts just don't need to come out of their mouths. They don't think about the shoe being on their foot and how those words would sound to them. Good idea on hearing what the doctor has to say.
YoYo good job on the 5lbs gone
shells I am so sorry to hear about the children, praying for healing soon and that you get to rip up that carpet more sooner than later Hope you got some rest. Glad you got a good bill of health. Congrats on the 9lbs gone for April
Melissa you have a lot to do, hang in there, whew
Larry your meals yesterday look good. I like the idea of lunch being the big meal of the day, it gets it out of the way some you don't feel so full in the evening Wish the weather would warm up here for good. It was pretty chilly yesterday
Wow Stacy your workout makes me tired just looking at it. You go GIRL!
Breanne sorry about the breakup, hopefully you'll feel better soon and May will have you smiling again And ditto on what Diana said. Diana you're so sweet
Hi DianaLA for a good weigh in
shells and Lindsey ...I agree with you both on the comments people make. (shaking my head at them)
Lindsey congrats on your new low. Your meals for today look like a meal plan for me minus the oatmeal (texture issue) . I love getting ideas from here but what is EB?
surfer congrats on getting out of the 150's

Now my good news I am down 3.8lbs from yesterday to 177.6. I did my normal on off the scale and the number stayed me
Today I've only had my smoothie. I'm gonna have a turkey and cheese with Romaine on a Flatout, apple sauce and I'm thinking something else with this for lunch just don't know what yet
Okay, so I'm feelin' pretty bummed out about my weekend and bad choices. Don't know why I'm just now feelin' bad about it. I know I'm back on track now.......GEEZ I hate when I do this.
Glad to see a lot of the same people that responded to my inquiries about the wedding i went to this weekend! Feel much better that i can thank you all again for the suggestions and the support.
I know it is a new week but i kind of want to recap a bit on what went on for me near the end of last week to possible reassure that i made some smart decisions?! (i will gladly admit that they were not all the best..)
I got sick around wednesday evening so thats why i havent really been checking in. I barely ate on thursday or friday which isnt great but i managed half a sandwich on thursday on a roll and a flat bread sandwich with ham and cheese on friday and that was pretty much it!!! I was below goal monday-wednesday though. Saturday was the wedding and i guess this is what i'm looking to get some feedback on. Like i said before, this is the first time i consciously was trying to make decisions about staying in control while out at an event with friends and i honestly think i did pretty good...
Didnt eat in the morning. Had a medium iced coffee but it was on the go so i'm sure there was a lot of sugar (i dont do this often so i know its not the best). We got to the cocktail hour at 3pm. We had some veggies (no dip!) and fruits. Just a couple pieces of each. Then had some 2 mini crab cakes, like the size of a quarter or so... one piece bruchetta, 2 crackers with cheese and pepperoni. Overall i think i kept the snacking to a minimum because i know i couldve done WAY worse!
Dinner was at about 5. I had the stuffed sole, it did have a creamy sauce on it. There were 2 small pieces i ate like maybe one whole piece. I kind of picked at it, trying to avoid alot of the sauce. Ate about 3 carrots, 3 pieces of broccoli, 3 bits of potatos... and then i was STUFFED! i was in shock. I wanted to eat the whole thing because it was so good but i just couldnt eat another bite! Proudest moment of the evening was with the cake. I had 3 bites of cake and only one of them had frosting on it! (I was still stuffed from dinner). It was good but i was fulfilled with just having a taste of it! Very proud. Then we did a lot of dancing and burned a lot of it off!
Negatives of the evening: All i drank besides water was cranberry juice and vodka. Best i could do considering the choices and what i like to drink... Completely went the wrong direction there. Had quite a few glasses of that so im sure it was NOT GOOD for me! And that at about midnight i had half of a grilled chicked wrap with lettuce and bacon and mayo... Late night snacks with friends, need to not do that.
Overall i think it was a success. Hopefully my bad choices didnt outway my good. I am looking forward to a very successful week this week and finding out the outcome of this weekend on the scale tomorrow morning. But, i would greatly appreciate some feedback and then i'll be moving on from it!
DTermined: Sounds to me like you did good at the wedding. Congrats.
DianaLa: I know how bummed I feel when I make bad food choices. Pick yourself up and start fresh today! You'll feel better for doing that!
Sum: Those jello shots look yummy!
Love2B: Down 3 POUNDs!!! Wow! WHOOSH!
Surfergirl: No gain after a binge? You are a lucky girl!
Berry: I like it when I have so much to do... it makes the day go by so fast and I don't wonder about my next meal all day long!
Lindsey: Congrats on your new low! Great job!
Shells: Watermelon is a fruit that I crave a lot. I wonder what's in it that my body wants so much?? I hate the comments about weight loss being easy too. Drives me crazy! Hope the kiddos are feeling better.
LLBold: Good luck on those exams!
Still sending HUGS to Novel.
---------------------------------------
I worked out so hard this morning: squats (with my trainer pushing the weights down on me as I was trying to push them up), Dead lifts, Walking lunges with 20 pounds in each hand, hamstrings.... ugh and that was AFTER spin class. I am going to soak in the tub and then rest for a bit this afternoon.
Lindsay WooHoo!!! And no you won't. I won't let you
DTermined I think you did fine. Social functions are so hard...sometime I feel I should just take a break and focus on weightloss....but I love my friends Life is too short.
Novelista HUG!!
Shells Sorry about your baby My GF was feeling rundown and her bloodwork showed her vitamin levels low; she feels like a new person on supplements.
Thanks! I really felt good about how i did i just wanted some reassurance i guess For the first time i was actually less focused on food and more focused on having a good time. And in turn it actually worked in my favor. The food wasnt the star of the show. I was actually too busy taking pictures and wanting to dance and have a good time that we barely sat down to eat dinner let alone over eat! It was a great time and im glad i was able to do it without losing all control!
As for the comments, I say whaaatevaa! I’ve had some kind of rude comments too that about 20 pounds ago I looked “super thin!” What? I was NOT. I say get to where you feel comfortable. You started this journey for YOU!! 
@ your DH being concerned about your losing your “girls.” Silly men! 
I have a paper to complete today and some more homework...yay. This weekend I was SO productive...basically cleaned an organized our WHOLE PLACE!! Go me! 
Can you come do my house now? 
Hang in there!!
for a good weigh in
