hi all. Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Tried to get on here yesterday to update mileage but they were updating. Anyway, I'm at 355 miles.

Jennelle - congrats on your loss!

Rabbit:smug:

PS - doing great this week. Hoping for that loss again.

Hi All,

I have been MIA all last week because I was busy, but also because I was bad. I have new found motivation though, and DH and I talked this weekend, and he is really gonna try and help me out. I am going to rejoin WW tonight. I'm hoping that since now I'm in a new area, maybe I will be able to find a good leader that I like and can relate to. I would like to WI in the AM, so I am going to try and go on Saturday, and see what the leader's like then, but I need to join today, while the motivation is still there!

I did not WI this AM, I'm going to just see what happens tonight. I know it's gonna be more than what I think, because I usually WI first thing in the AM, naked!

Anyway, gotta run, hope all is well with everyone...will have to come back when i have time and check out the new features!

still fighting the fight....
 

Pryia - I was watching the basketball game last night and I thought of you - sorry about the loss!

Lauren - nice to hear you're back - I miss reading your food journals - they help give me ideas. Hope your motivation keeps up and I hope you get back on track. Sometimes it's hard to post when you're feeling like you've done so bad but that's often the best time so you can get some motivation from your friends.

Well I didn't have the best week. I weighed myself this morning and I was UP 2.5 lbs!!! Doesn't that just suck. I'd been really good with the exercise and not bad with the food - until the weekend. Friday night I had a pastrami sandwich (yum) with fries (oops) and Saturday night I was hanging with some girlfriends and we ordered Chinese Food - very yum but very bad. So I'm trying to not let it get me down too bad because I know that that will just make me give up, eat more and make the whole thing worse. My last bit of hope is that the food I ate was so salty that maybe only part of the gain was fat and part was water??? I don't really know though.

Congratulations to everyone who had a loss or maintained - that's an accomplishment too.

Here's to a good week!!

Elisa

Hey Elisa- Consider most, if not all, of your 2.5 gain water!! I've done that before, if I have chinese food, it's gotta be right after WI...no more than a day or two after WI, this way I have a good 4-5 days to wash it all out!! Thanks for the good thoughts! ;)

:eek:
where is everybody?

I'm here! :)

Elisa...I'm sure most of your weight gain is water. Chinese food is loaded with sodium! I usually can't get my rings off the morning after I eat Chinese food.

I'm doing well with my exercise. I've been running a lot more lately. I usually go to a running trail about 10 mins. from the house. It's .6 of a mile (1 K). At the end of last year, I'd worked up to two full laps. Then winter hit and it was too cold and I "mysteriously":o gained 40 pounds in six months. So, I'm working my way back up in mileage again. I ran almost an entire lap last night. Either way, I always warm up with a walk around the track and I always cool down with a walk on the trail, so I always get in 1.5 miles.

I see you guys keep track of mileage. Is that from the beginning of the year?
