Ali you keep going! I would go ahead and give the bread away. No reason to torture yourself with looking at it even though you know you are not going to eat it. LOL

Jessie, I am getting back in the saddle too. I did really good and lost the 54 pounds, but for months now I have really just been maintaing. Which is good, but I really want to lose the rest. Just hang in there you can do this!

I did weigh and I am up a little but maybe it is still a little water weight.

How is everyone doing?

Down just a little today, but it is TOM. I did get a surgery date of 7/24/14. Have an appointment with the doctor doing the surgery on the 10th and an appointment with the hospital on the 21st.

Pretty nervous about the whole thing, but ready to feel better. :)

Hello!
I have not checked in for a few days. Ali- Congrats on another win! You are an inspiration.

Mara- I am glad you got the surgery date, although I am sure it makes it a little more real and therefore a little more nerve-wracking.

I have been above my total net carb goal, but not by a lot. As a result, I am holding steady while working out. I usually gain when working out, so I see this as a win. Although, I would really love to magically lose! We have been out of town, or had out of town visitors every weekend since mid May. This continues until mid August. My goal is to stay at 169, but still run 3-5 times per week until this ends and then get serious.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Mara - I'm glad you got your surgery scheduled. I know it's nerve wracking but I'm sure all will be fine! :)

Traveler - staying even half way on target when you have lots of company is a huge win! You're doing great - Maintaining is not a defeat!

I finally got to go the doc today and all my tests came back normal so she started me on the pill to help get me regulated. So hoping that will start ASAP lol

Which TOM is here, arrived yesterday, so I think that's making this weight a little more stubborn lol -- I can't wait until that's just 1x a month instead of 3 or 4 lol

Mara.. I am glad you have your surgery scheduled... Now you can look forward to feeling better in a few weeks! :) and I will be holding your hand as that same week 7/22 - I have my first Dermatologist apt as this spot on my arm is very alarming (Had it for 5+ years and everyone said not to worry bout it as it turns black then fades away). I heard on a news program yesterday that this might be very serious.. so getting a look see 7/22...

I am going to watch and read you all do well on this challenge as I have had a bad mental week and an "I don't care" attitude which I am fighting really hard (Other things like a friend moving for good, Boss not following thru with a job that I brought in for a friend who is now mad at ME, and loneliness).... Just a bad week.... I will join in on the next one once I get some of these 7+ lbs gained off...

SO GO GO GO GO Girls! shed those lbs :)

Traveler awesome job with the exercise!!!

Ali I think you might win this one again!

Sue I will be there with you too. Definitley keep us updated on your arm. I am sorry you are having a bad week. I am sure your friend is just upset and will realize that the job situation is not your fault. There are no guarantees, and things happen. You were being a good friend and trying to help them. Maybe you could see if there is a walking group in your area. That would be a great way to meet like minded people. I know your walking friend will be back next week, but that way you can walk and talk to other people and keep motivated even when he is not available. And he could possible join too. :)

I am ready for the surgery so I can feel better, but it is making me nervous and scared. And boy is it expensive. Everyone wants so much money up front. :( I am up today, but hoping it is from TOM.
