((Insert Drumroll Here))

I had gained more weight and decided to really focus this week...

((Another drum roll))

And I lost 8.5 pounds this week to bring me lower than my first restart weight!



I am so pumped!!!!

Hi Hi Hi! Yay for a new week! Yesterday was the Wine Festival at a local Days Inn. Well, we (the owner of my company & I) sat up shop early, was there entertaining ALL day 2-9, tore it all down and left about 10! OK OK................so we drank wine ALL DAY! I didnt' have any thing to eat because I knew that I would need to save up for "some" maybe "just a little" wine..............yea...........our glasses were filled all day/night. I was sick last night and this morning! I drink like once a year! Well, litterly here's to a new week!

Mom2 - I love your avatar! Super job on that 8# loss!

Thanks! Isn't he a stud? I love that pic of us. I have one of me with each of the three kids that day, but that one is my favorite. He's just getting too big too fast!

The wine party sounds awesome! I quit drinking when I started WW, but wine would be my weakness. It's amazing how much harder it hits me now, I can imagine how you feel today.

Hi all. I have been very busy the last week. I have been helping at preschool and cleaning house like a mad woman. I started going to WW meetings last week. I need that extra boost. I am just not doing it at home on my own. I need to be accountable to someone other than myself. When I stepped on that scale there I almost cried. My scale at home is about 10 pounds off. It was very upsetting. But I am on the road to making it better.

Mom2Q--GREAT JOB on your 8 pound loss!!!! You should be so proud of yourself! I know I am proud of you

jar- I am not a big wine drinker but I went to a wine tasting dinner a few months ago and all I did was drink drink drink......my hubby was so giddy when we walked out I had to drive home...lol.

Well, girls... despite my gain I had a wonderful experience yesterday... I had to go shopping to get clothes. Everything I had was too big for me. I went to the dressing room with 7 items that were size 2X... I had to go back and get 1Xs for EVERYTHING! Even the pants! When I started this weight loss journey in January of last year, I was wearing a 30-32. Now I'm in an 18!!!... and I am almost able to shop in the 'regular' section at the stores. I am so excited!!! I also got some hair color. DH likes my hair dark so I'm just going for 'the new me' this week - maybe it will help keep me motivated!

Mom - Congrats! I'm glad you're so positive! I needed to see that enthusiasm!

Jeanne - Sounds like you had a great weekend. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Keitha - I understand that need to be accountable. I can't afford the meetings, so I come here. I'm hoping it works! So far, so good. I love talking to everyone here. It's nice to know I can have this kind of support for free.

I'm gonna go dye my hair now. Have a great day, everybody!!!

Hello everyone! Congratulations to all of you! Especially you mom2q!

Jar I am not a wine drinker but would love to be! I just can't stomach it! I say I would love to be because when I have been able to sip it down it relaxes me even with one drink.

mk john: I go to the meetings as well. I tried on my own which is why I am here but I just did not hold myself accountable. I get that inspirational stuff from the meetings about how we can only be accountable to ourselves!

So here is my story! I have been really good all week until yesterday. It was my sons 9th birthday and we took him out for dinner and we even went to Applebees so I could of easily had a WW dinner!!!!!! What was I thinking I ate the lime chicken thingy, with boneless buffalo wing and to end it all a dessert shooter!! So I think tonight will be a trip to the YMCA and a couple of days of elliptical before I weigh in on Wednesday!

For those of you who haven't weighed this week good luck!!

Woops Megan! I forgot to tell you great job! I know the past two weeks I hadn't been losing but I did the measuring tape and lost an inch around my waist! Sometimes it isn't all about the scale!

Big hugs Daph; I know that there are no words that can make things better, but know that I'm thinking of you.

Thanks Megan, Daph, Steng, and Keitha!

Great job Megan, that rocks!

Hugs Keitha, the hardest step is that first one, but you did it!

Hope you're feeling better Jeanne!

Julz.....where are you?!?!

Good luck at your weigh-in Steng!

I think that's all, I'm sure I forgot something, LOL. We went out to lunch and I was so good today, then at the end they brought out warm chocolate chip cookies with the bill. I ate one, counted it, and am now destined to have salad for dinner. Oh well, I'm sure it won't kill me. Have a great week everyone!

Well, I went to weigh in last night and I lost 2.8 pounds! yeah! I was just praying I didn't gain...lol. I had one day that I ate everything in site including M&M's. I am so happy that it showed a loss. I could have danced on that scale. A small loss is still a loss and it feels great. Thank you ladies for all of your wonderful support. I really makes a difference!!
