I have no idea why this happened. I'm drinking my water and still totally on induction foods only. I'm wondering if the food poisioning really just drained my body too quickly and it wasn't meant to lose all it did last week. So frustrating. Still...will move on and hope for better tomorrow. :(

Stay focused shan it will whoosh away.
Sue so glad to have you back!

Hello UBEE, JESSIE and SHAN :) SO happy to be with you! and I am so happy to be back :)

SHAN.. I am so sorry about the water gain. It could be because your body is still recovering and maybe you have some inflammation which retains water. Try alittle fresh squeezed lemon water... It works!

JESSIE! :) Harrass the H*ll outta me! LOL Sometimes I really do need a Kick in the ARSE! I am sorry that Kathy had hidden your scale.. but I have a feeling it was for your sanity! LOL

UBEE! Hello you!! I hope you are staying warm and toasty. I will send some warm Florida breezes your way to melt some of that Wisconsin snow! It is so good to see you!.

I am feeling like I am back home now (here!) :) May you all have a wonderful and peaceful night sleep. Tomorrow will being happy surprises.. you just never know! :D

I dropped alittle water :D

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! and Just enjoyed your families and friends and stayed warm (Yikes.. we will be 80 today :( too warm!)

Yeah Shan.. you are heading back down :D

Jessie.. you too! Did you survive these last hours? Me NO! LOL

Welcome Healthy!.... You gotta love the water whooshes! tho some fat does exit with the water :D

Ubee- Hugs to you!

Okay.. for me.. I am up up up up again... lord 23 lbs higher than my low in August BOOOOOOOOO and BOO again!. But I KNOW I can lose it. I know what to do. Its the mind change and the commitment. That is the tough part when you slip is getting the commitment back. Its a 1 day 1 meal 1 thought at a time thing. I WILL DO IT! I so want to lose what I gained. My father asked me if I was gaining weight REALLY?? it took me losing 85 lbs the 1st time for them to notice I had lost. Now I gained 20 and he says something GRRRRR I also feel happier and lighter (in spirit) when I eat on plan. I just do and I remind myself about that feeling every day as I miss it! and the clothes and smaller underwear are getting tight (waahhhhh) Got the trueisms and now I need to act.

Enough of my rant... HAPPY DAY TO YOU ALL! MAY YOUR SPIRITS SOAR TODAY!

Sue we are in the same boat. A little less then a year ago I was down to 248 for a day. I want that back. I am willing to work hard and focus to get there. I see people glancing at me and wondering if I will gain it all back. The interesting thing is that now that I gained some back people are really rooting for me and sincerely trying to be supportive. I did not feel that before.
shan good to see you below your starting weight. How are you doing?
Welcome back Healthy.

Nice job shan84, you are back on it and consistently moving down on the scale!
It is so hard to do that during the holidays!
I don't think I could do it with family and friends, cookings, parties and the rest of it all. I was lucky to have a low key Christmas to get back on the wagon!
Best of luck to you!

Jessie so true. Guilty of that my whole life.
Healthy you are doing great. I'm thinking you may be starting a new thread soon.

Ubee WOOHOO for getting under your starting weight! :D

Healthy.. oh I see you dropping that weight! I agree with Ubee.. you will be starting a new thread really soon! :) Good for you!

Jessie - I agree. writing down the scale number does keep you accountable. You are doing great! :)

Shan... Hooray for you too! You are under your start weight!

Oh.. you all are motivation for me!

Well... I was good for 2/3 of the day yesterday... then 3 chocolate chip cookies beckoned.. BOO... Small voice in the head took over (Also to take care of the guilt of spending WAY too much money today = Really bad Sue!)

Moving down, numbers getting smaller each day! Very nice!!!

The good thing is that the cookies are now gone and they didn't wreck the numbers. Your scale will be showing lower numbers!
Good luck and hope you all have a good day, making good choices!
