Checking in. I know I've been hit or miss. Congratulations LGW on the new low. That's awesome! I am looking towards the teens myself and was getting close (again) but am now back up. Several days of not being home and eating on the go (helping a family member pack, move & unpack) did some damage to the scale. Upping the water intake and reducing the carbs so hopefully I'll get heading back in the right direction.

Kukkie ~ congrats on the eye surgery. I would love to have that done, but I'm not a candidate for it . . . and I can't afford it.

Waving :wave: to everyone. Have a great day!

Kukkie: thanks for the willpower dust....broke out of the 220's...

I am powerful and imthegoddess, great job both of you on persevering and getting back into the routine of logging your food.

On Monday, went for a 2.75km walk with SO and our dog, it was wonderful to be out in the morning sun. Looking forward to a lot more of these walks throughout the Summer.

Down 0.3lb. Probably could have been more, I ate really good meals and had great water intake, however in between I was extra snacky. And even though I was eating low cal snacks, there were quite a few. So I'm grateful for the loss, however small. Need to stay the course today.

Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm so glad that I had the surgery done, but I'm being completely impatient waiting for my vision to stabilize. It's a frustrating process.

Good for you, and thank you. Yes, I managed to stay on track and log for the second day in a row.

Waving back. Have a great day also.:wave:

Steady is a good thing, congratulations on your losses.

Thanks, and great job with the walk.

I can imagine. I can tell my eyes have changed again. Oh the joys of staring at a computer screen all day. Congratulations on the loss. Any loss is a win in my book.

As for me, I will weigh in on Friday as is my normal schedule. I plan to keep on track until then, so here's hoping. Have a great day everyone.

It looks as though everyone is doing well. PenguinGirl, Kukkie,Martine, way to stomp :sumo: that weight. Keep it going!

MadeToThrive welcome back to the land of 3 fat chicks.

Sooooo....I was doing well all day yesterday until I made my hubby's birthday bfast. Fresh hot yummies out of the oven at 11pm was too much to resist. No worries, Banana Bread doesn't have any calories right ;) haha. He enjoyed it much this morning. I however, am abstaining from the scrumptious bread on my counter. I ate some last night, no need to have again today. Now, I just need to figure out a nice dinner and desert that'll still allow me to be in my budget, but DH will still feel spoiled by the results.
Thinking Taco Salad, since I can layer that however needed for budget and the boys can help make it.
Desert, I might pick up cinn rolls or some kind of fruit filled pastry. Or I'll have the kids build some kinda Twinkie tower. I dislike all those items so abstaining should be a breeze. Fingers crossed.

Keep up the good work everyone!

What a smart way to go about it. Can't eat it if you don't like it.

LGW you are moving fast towards onederland!

Woke up to a new low again this morning. This motivates me even more to do another workout today. Can't let the little voice in my head deter me though. Have a great day everyone!

Hey LGW - congratulations on the new low!!

Great job Martine!! Hope those lows keep coming


Yesterday may have not been perfect, but I haven't done this well at a bday party in ages, so I'm proud. Not sure how to count the cal on some of the items, but I'm good with how I feel about the day.

Today was a doozie. Not sure how to track anything. What a blast though. Family went to a fun center and for four hours we went crazy. Then we went for ice cream and I didn't order myself any. Later we went to pack meeting for scouts and I had 1 brownie. Who is this woman? Self-control with some of my absolute favorite nummers. I hope the scale smiles upon me Sunday morning. I sure am tryin. :crossed:
