Starting to shake a LITTLE of that water weight, but it's mainly hanging on.
You all have me thinking about beer, now, and I don't need ANY beer after last weekend. I'll stick to my favorite low-carb drink... dirty vodka martini!
Busy day at work, so off I go! Looks like people are moving in the right direction, so, yay!

196 again today!! Happy Thursday!!
About going to BBQs, parties, events, etc: Ever heard this saying? "Most people don't plan to fail: they fail to plan" - well when it comes to staying on plan I have to have a plan before I go anywhere...and it does border on an obsession - I google restaurant menus before I go out and plan exactly what I can order before I get there - and we have a lot of choices on Atkins. It's harder to plan for the BBQ this weekend because everything will be out on tables......but I am doing my best!!

Hello friends,
I can't wait for the weekend. I had to drag myself out of bed this morning, but I feel much better after having my coffee. Anybody traveling this weekend? We decided to just stay home and relax for a change. My neighbor is having a bbq on Sunday, so we are going, but I will eat at home before I go.
My numbers:
SW: 222
5/16: 222
5/17: 222.4 (I'm sure it's just water weight)
5/18: 222
5/19: 222
5/20: 220
5/21: 218.6
5/22: 218.4
5/23: 217.7 (almost there!)
GW: 217

IAN... I have to ask... Did you ever get your bag back with the runaway travel scale? and about the weight loss (I am learning to come to grips with my gain a few days ago and am choosing to be happy inside and out ) I am thinking... if this is the worst that will happen to you... 2 days of gain and 5 days of loss... gosh... that is pretty darn good. I don't know if you have a chart set out... so you can see the downward trend and the very few upticks... but looking at it will just remind you how well you are realy doing. You are a great success and I admire your determination. You determination also to do it your way... so that you can live your life and still lose weight. You are a marvel....
Prettymom... you are still going down just about everyday.. How cool is that?
Happierme.... its just the water lb that I lost yesterday... It is just visiting you and won't stay.. I promise...
Telorida and Lulu I am so proud of you both too.....
I really like this thread.. Its nice just having a few very nice and supportive people.... Don't get me wrong I like the big ones too.. but I feel much more comfy with fewer people to care about in 1 place....
I send you all peace and inside strength and confidence in yourself!

Thanks Sue. The luggage has now been found but not delivered yet. So travel scale remains A.W.O.L.. For all I know it might be being used by someone else as we speak. It might even be having a night out on the town!
Regarding the gains and losses, I know I am pretty lucky. It's just such a bummer that I get big whooshes and then big gains. So I am getting out the party hats one or two days a week and then wearing black the next. I need to learn that any loss over a pound in one day might not fully stick. It's just so volatile and it has got worse both with exercise and as my weight has gotten lower.
I am just so desperate for 2-single digits!

IAN.. I have visions of your scale sitting in different surroundings getting its picture taken (Like the Gnome from Travelocity) Sorta like sending you postcards from where its traveled and who has stood on it 
I do feel the same as you... When I am doing so well and not over doing it and eating the correct food I expect a loss and when I gain.. It just does not make sense to my brain and heart. I get upset and think well why bother.. but I know that I have to bother.... If I had stopped whenever I felt this way... I would still be at the starting gate and in worse shape then I was... I think that along with losing weight we are also getting to know our strengths and mindset and learning how to train ourselves to not be upset with what we really have no control over (THO we do try really hard don't we! ME Yep!!) You are doing so many new things (Gym, Tennis etc) that I bet you never thought we would be doing and liking it! How about that. You are a great example for your children too... an example of what determination can do.. Gosh what a wonderful lesson for your kids They have a great dad! As Mozzy says.. we are on a journey. Sometimes the journey has missing luggage (LOL) and sometimes it has the gorgeous sunsets.... We are just lucky that we get to share everything with each other and I am so happy that we can.
ANYWAY Friday.... Friday is the gateway to the weekend.. HOLIDAY weekend (IAN will you celebrate US Memorial Day? Is your wife a US Citizen?) so time to have fun, take care of ourselves and tell a Military warrior that we honor them!

Hi guys, keep going strong. It seems pointless for me to join in now so I'll wait for the next one.
Good luck!

Thanks Sue and Lulu. I have to be quick since I am off to the dentist before work.
Up another 0.6lbs today. This exercise thing is killing me. Sore muscles means water, I assume, and water means lots of weight. Maybe the weekend will give me a chance to rest and whoosh.
SW: 215.2lbs (wahey)
5/20 - 213.2lbs (whoosh)
5/21 - 214.8lbs (whaaa?)
5/22 - 213.4lbs (wahey, tennis whoosh)
5/23 - 214.2lbs (argh)
5/24 - 214.8lbs (grrrrrrrrrr)
GW: 210.2lbs
