Good morning folks . I am pleased to say that my weight this morning is 149.6!!!! I'm suppose to be going to a baseball game tonight, I plan on working hard not to go overboard and crush my progress.
Diana sometimes you just have to do what you have to do to protect you sanity and your privacy.
I weighed in at 258.8 this morning. If that number holds for tomorrow's official weigh in that will be a 4 lb. loss for the week and finally out of the 260's!
The scary part...tonight my husband and I are going to the reopening of a bar to watch my dad's band play. I just have to remember to stick with my water and not to snack or get any alcohol! Both of those could be detrimental to my awesome efforts this week! No bar food and no booze! We'll eat before we go. If dad wants wings I'll buy him 10 and I'll avoid them.

HealthyMe-That's a great game plan. You're definitely mentally prepared.
Sluggerbean-I'm glad you're down a pound and feeling good!
Diana-That's it. You're back in control!
Two things.
1. A young girl rear ended me the other night. There was no where to pull over so I pulled into a grocery store, and expected her to follow me. Well she just kept going and I didn't get her plates. I'm so mad. Now my back hurts, and I'm sitting here at work at a desk all day. Will be seeing someone about it on Monday.
2. What'd everyone think of the opening ceremonies?
I had a great time at the picnic (we had a little rain, but not as much as we feared) and ate way too much. But I know that, a year ago, I would have eaten even more and never felt full whereas, today, I did feel full and that kept me from completely stuffing myself. And I came home and did 40 minutes on the bike, rather than grabbing that bag of M&Ms I have and hitting the couch. So even though I'm still struggling, I know I'm better off than I was.
aka, I hope your back is okay. It sucks that the other driver didn't stop.
DH and I went to an event yesterday. I didn't have a lot of control over the food situation, so I did the best that I could. Of course, there is always room for improvement. I could have ordered a plain grilled chicken breast for dinner, but I am chickened out! Saturday is my higher calorie day and the day that I try to have something a little different than I eat during the week. My calories were higher than what I normally have on Saturday. Today is day 11 for TTOM. It seems to be coming to an end, so hopefully I can start getting rid of this water weight that I am holding on to.
Good morning everyone . I weighed in at 148.4 this morning. My goal for the month is 148.0 but I am happy to see I 48 anything! Sundays are usually days that I have more calories as I have dinner with family at my aunt and uncles place. I may be fighting to stay reasonable as I really want to keep seeing 148 something to finish off this month.
Aka That is really too bad about that other driver. I hope that your body heals and that the damage to the car was not to terrible.
Steph Its good that you were able to recognize the full feeling and listen to it. In the past I know I was super guilty of eating right through! I'm glad you had a great time and made a good choice of being active once you returned home.
Healthymewannabe Great job on you loss for the week!!!
Hey folks. Been away this weekend, haven't weighed in or caught up on the thread yet, but I just wanted to thank Steph for this:

You are probably right - I have been thinking for a while that 155-160 may turn out to be my manageable maintenance range, even though I wanted it to be lower. I am not a willowy physical type - I have a solid, muscular frame, broad hips, and large breasts - so even though 155-160 is outside of the nominally healthy BMI range for my height, it is not really appreciably overweight for me as an individual. So, it might be a sensible idea to start thinking of myself as a maintainer in this range, rather than continue to frustrate myself trying to lose more.
Some people can be extremely insensitive. I am sorry that you have to deal with them. Just know that we've got your back!!

on your weigh-in!!!!

You already have a strategy in place; you can and will resist temptation tonight!! 
with the picnic today. Have fun!!
Have a great Saturday everyone!! 
I am so happy for you!! 
Good job!!
