love2b150 HI I'm still here! argh! LOL...I had a .8 gain from the mexican food but I knew that would happen. It could have been worse...160.4. BOO!!!
We're going to do a really long walk today to get that water gone...probably walk the horse trail in to Griffith Park. I'm sure it will take a minute before I'm firmly planted in the 150's but I sure plan to give it all I've got!
Love2b Sending you loads of will power dust. Stay strong, we'll do it.

Ooww mami! Constant, serious, nagging cravings entering my body from everywhere
May be I should write it down here and may be putting words on it will help me remove my focus from it....It's all my fault. For the whole week I've been "eating like a birdie bird" eating mainly oranges, lean fish, grains and nuts.
Now I've succeeded in losing about 5 lbs, but if I did not have a goal to meet, and straining myself so much to reach it...if I did not have to, I'd have had spicy rice, with fried chicken , a pizza , complete with irish cream ON THE ROCKS, PLEEEASE!
Now back to reality. Peanuts and waterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Today I'll go buy a few things to "diversify" my menu a lil bit otherwise cravings are gonna ruin my diet. Coz right now I feel exactly like
still up the .8 for really no reason I can see, but I am holding on to that little bit of water! No matter. After church we're hitting the gym and I'll do shoulders/back/cardio and sweat it off. I burned like 500 calories on that 5 mile walk yesterday so I'm not doing anything wrong, it's just I didn't do a big sweat to get it off. I won't trip! LOL
A new week and forward we're going. With confidence in ourselves and faith. Wishing y'all a blessed week.
This is where I had left it a few weeks ago before going on a gaining back spree, so this is a fresh restart and fresh hopes of success.
I noticed there's a day missing from my countdown so I'm adding the one day bonus for myself!!! Whoever says it's not possible is a liar lol

I've missed a few days but still here. I wish weightloss would be linear or at least not so affected by sodium. I'm back at 161. Hopefully, I get lower by weeks end.
Love2b150 - I bought an air pop machine for the popcorn. Was only $15 at Walmart but worth it. The chemicals added to microwave popcorn bags are not worth it to me. Plus my kids are liking it cuz they get to add their own butter. I've been eating plain but it is satisfying the munchies.
Back at 159.6. didn't go to the gym yesterday, DH had a last minute meeting to go to in Ontario so I cleaned the house. 90 minutes of sweeping and mopping all these wood floors AND the porcelain tile in the kitchen - pulled something in my left lower back/hip area AND some weird feeling in my left forearm. oh lovely 40's!
BBQ today - gotta go get some marinade for my organic chicken breasts - I like the Caribbean Jerk flavor cuz it's very island-y. And it sounds like we're going to see DH's granddaughter as he's on the phone with her right now. She's 7
Pinkhippie good job on the weigh in Good for you on the shorts. I haven't worn shorts in over 10 years or more I don't think. I'd like to buy some
Thank you! You know what is so funny, is pretty much my entire life at a lower weight than I am now, I would not wear shorts. They made me feel "fat" and I thought they looked bad. Now I weigh more than I used to and I wear shorts all the time and think I look good! Mindset, its a very powerful thing. It also helps that I do regular exercise so it makes me feel good about my body regardless of my weight.
Speaking of, I have stayed at 167 for this entire holiday weekend. I am pretty happy about that. I like losing slowly, it makes me feel like its more likely to last for me.

Congrats on the 159! I hear you on the 40's. Im not quite there yet but it seems like its SO easy to accidentally injure myself doing everyday things. It's so annoying.
thanks pinkhippie! yeah, I'm 43...I really don't mind the number but it's the dumb stuff like injuries that annoy me. Oh, and I don't have much in the way of gray, but the sideburn area likes to turn WHITE. AND it doesn't like to hold dye. whatEV. LOL
Was able to do biceps and triceps in spite of the forearm weirdness, and 25 minutes on the treadmill. I AM going to have a beer today for Memorial Day and probably a shot or two of tequila. But in between I'm drinking lots of iced tea and water!!!
Welcome maleficient wishing you luck with the 160's!
hey Love2b! I missed u these dayz. Good to see you're back, fine and doing well weight wise.
AND BAM!!!! 2 lbs between y'day and today!! But I totally enjoyed fooling around y'day. It was a guilt-free one. I'm going to employ this new day to erase some it.

....and a bounce and a stall....ugh!! It's my fault - it's not a mystery. I ate everything that came at me and didn't exercise. Back to 161.8 because of a weekend camping and then a cookout. Social eating. That's my downfall. I feel like I'm at such a mental block now. Reminds me of moving from 200's to 199. I think it's because I've maintained the 160s for almost 3 years now so I'm comfortable here - enter in a social situation and all of a sudden I can rationalize eating everything. If I were at 171, I'd freak and not overeat. But the 160s are acceptable and the 150s still seem like this magic elusive dream that "would be nice someday." Like having an extra $100 and spending it rather than saving because I was okay before it, so it's okay to spend it as opposed to needing it to pay bills.
I've been at this game for so long. I know all of the mental ins and outs. I get it. I really do. But me in front of a plate of food and *poof* it's all out of my head. I think if I really want to bust out of this I'm going to have to radically change my routine and not just keep saying "I'll eat better next week." But how do I do that? What does that look like? I think this is my challenge now - to answer those questions. Because sitting here and doing the same thing over and over again isn't okay.
, a pizza 
AND some weird feeling in my left forearm. oh lovely 40's! 
Good for you on the shorts. I haven't worn shorts in over 10 years or more I don't think. I'd like to buy some
