Everything is great because I am 178!!! It's official - I am back to my lowest adult weight - everything else will be new territory. The last time I visited 178 was around 2003-2004!!! I am 44 weeks in and 47 pounds down!! Not exactly happening at the speed of light but I can live with it!!

True confession: Had a talk with my husband last night about his comments on my changing body (smaller chest/skinny legs - I am an apple shape and my waist has not caught up quite yet!) - while he thinks he is being "funny", I explained that I see it as hurtful - he agreed and comments will stop - then he told me he is happy that I am getting more healthy and he wants to get there too! (This is uncharted ground for us because in 30 years he never said anything negative through all my body changes...I am relieved we talked.))

Sue So happy for you on 247!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!

Staja I'll always go with the positive frame of reference - gotta keep the glass half full!!

Wishing everyone a downdowndown!!!

Happy Monday - Nothing new to report - on the road this week so I can't weigh again until Thursday morning!!

Did anyone watch Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition - Trina Miller yesterday? She went from 290 to 145 - I don't agree with the tactics like pushing a person to lose 75 pounds in 3 months but I understand some of the dynamics of the relationships - her mother is unusually cruel - couldn't imagine having someone that toxic living in my house!! Also I think the push is on the loss not on permanent way of life changes. Interested to see what others think....

[staja]

Weekend water weight doesn't seem as high as normal, so I'll take it! We went to trivia last night, so that involves eating not-so-good for me food. But, no beer & no dessert!

Today, I am thankful that all of upper management is out of the office today! Is that sad?

Wannaskipandlaugh Sorry for the lack of support from your mom! That can be very difficult....

Mara The journey isn't perfect....it's not like we get to cut food out of our lives!! It gets better!!

Staja Had to google "smooth move" Ha!!! Have to I'm less regular than I would like at this point - guess everything has to change....

Ate at a Red Robin last night for the first time - on what planet does a wedge salad come with over a cup of greasy onion rings - I picked them off - that was a total victory! As I looked at the greasy onion ring mess, I realized how I want to eat high quality food as much as possible - if I am going to eat an onion ring it better be a great one to be worth it!

Walking on a treadmill again today...can weigh tomorrow but I don't think there will be anything new to report...and that is ok!!!

Enjoy the day!!!

[wannaskipandlaugh]

Thankful that I can admit I am a hypocrit!. Met friends for dinner and ate a Fried Fish sandwich (Bread and FF!) and here I gave my mom a hard time (she does not know what I did last night)..

Sue - I think it is more complicated than that......because we do look to our families for support.....don't be so hard on yourself or her....

Mara Warm house= good!!! I agree!!

Still at 178 today but I didn't expect a drop - going to go shopping for a new winter coat this weekend, the one from last year is just too big!!My mother is using myfitnesspal now to log her food consistently now - she is diabetic and was off on her counts. I'm going to call her today to see if she has seen more consistent blood sugars now.....

Wishing everyone an on plan day!!
