Ok, so yesterday I had 1545 calories - it was a very difficult process to eat them all, but I did. And, the scal was nice to me now lol

No pills for the next 7 days so hoping it gets a little easier the next few days. If so I'll at least know the cause and can talk to my doc about maybe switching to another one.

Well I had nothing salty yesterday and it seems to have made a diff but I did crave my twang bad!!!! All the more reason to avoid it I guess is what we learn right?

Ali nice to see you turn it around

Kathy your on the right track

Wannaskipandlaugh you have turned it around nicely also


Everyone is coming along GREAT and it seems to be neck in neck, have a great day girls :)

Ok this is where it gets tempting to say, if I'm going up anyway why not eat something bad!! Maybe it's the cream I'll lay off for a bit that and Splenda, only raw and natural for a bit I don't like what this scale is doing at all and I still have not started my cycle so I am like a week late now!!! Can eating this way affect that?
Have a great day ladies and may your scale move ever in your favor:)

Hello Jessie.. Don't give in if at all possible. You are holding water.. Just be patient.. Or as I tell myself (try). I can do this for today.. just today.. Tomorrow is another day. Try it just for today!

Ali.... Wow.. Did you win again today?! you are so close!

Monti.. I hope that you are down to your lowest so far or even lower!

Mara..Glad to see you! Got a week to WoW your doctor.. lets see you in the 230's!!! :)

Kuselton.. We congratulated you as you had lost 1 lb and that is wonderful.. I am sorry that it found you again yesterday.. but I hope when you step on the scale it has left the building and took another friend with it! :)

Only thing I can attribute that to is TOM - who has been around for about 8 days now and has been particular horrible yesterday and today so far.

I think I'm not drinking enough water. I usually try to get 64oz of water and then any other drinks I have are extra, but for the last few days I've only had about 64oz all together. And the sweeteners might be a problem too. So I'm not going to have any sweeteners today and see if it helps.

thanks ladies, y'all are way to inspiring for me to have cheated I was just venting but let me tell ya I am so proud of myself!!! I had a in work training day where we all went out to lunch together, I brought my own salad dressing and at the restraint while everyone around me was eating fries and sandwiches I had a bacon Amish cheese burger no bun with mustard and a side salad with olive oil and vinegar and then when they ALL ordered pie 5 pieces and passed them around the table (2 were my favorite) I politely denied and didn't even die inside
I am just trying to remember that the yoyo is ok and daily it does not reflect a weekly change 3.2 in a week is not bad i'll take it
Today the scale rewarded me for being good!!!

Agh! No change again. :( I drank so much water yesterday I practically lived in the bathroom (sorry if TMI), and I really felt like I was losing weight. I ate perfectly too. I guess it is time to add in exercise to get the needle moving. Tried 30DS a couple times, yesterday I hurt my back and the chiroprator said no more. So back to yoga.

Sue - :yay: for losing again!

Jessie - Excellent job on the lunch! You are the queen of will power!! :D

Kathy - Nice loss! :carrot:

Ali - The great thing about TOM weight is it goes away! You'll be back on the losing side in no time.

:yay: Happy Friday to All! :yay:

Sue - Great job on the loss!

Jesse - way to go girl! it's hard to pass that stuff up but feels so good when you do!

Monte - it'll start moving, be patient. Remember don't get to bent over daily weights like Jesse said - those weekly are a better reflection of how you are really doing. No change or minor flucuations are all normal --- frustrating --- but normal! :)

As for excercise - check out FitnessBlender - I am in LOVE with their site! All videos are free an they have a huge variety. I need more structure so I bought their 30 day beginner program which is 5.99 - and they give you a file to download of which videos to on which days.
