I have wonderful news!! My brother is getting out of the hospital today! He is still having kidney problems but they will do daily dialysis for awhile longer. I guess its just a wait and see thing.Otherwise he is doing good. He is able to walk a bit with the help of a walker and will be doing therapy at home. He has lost about 40lbs so far.
I gained 5lbs over the holiday but am happy to say 1 of it is already gone. I am back to exercising daily. I am also back to eating whole healthy foods. Back to the basics..veggies and baked or grilled meats. It feels good to be back on track.
I have 8 weeks till my daughters wedding. I so want to look good!!

It looks like you will need to lose about 3 pounds a week to meet your goal. That might be a little ambitious, A pound and a half or 2 pounds a week is about normal to lose. I suggest you just do the best you can you will lose and be a beautiful bride even if you don't quite make it to goal.

Im hoping to get back to losing a 1-2 lbs per week every week. I havent enjoyed the yo-yo this month.
Im already thinking about lunch..breakfast should have stayed with me better! I may have to have a mid morning snack to hold me over.

Hi everyone. It has been a while and I have missed you. Life is finally settling down enough for me to get back online a bit. And I am finally getting my lazy arse back on track. I have no doubt I did a little damage over the last month. But it shouldn't be anything I can't correct in pretty short order. I can't weigh, right now because I still can't find my stupid scale and a new one just isn't in the budget. I need to get down to the garage and find it. It is probably just in the top of a box, under something.

I need to spend some time getting caught up and see how everyone is doing. Well, I hope.

Must run. I have to unload my dishwasher (gosh, I love my new place!) and get some things put away. And, I think I'll head out to the garage and see if I can't locate my scale. Never send a man to do a woman's job...

Hey everyone! Its so cold today in Philadelphia! I have good news! I must have lost some water weight because when I got on the scale this morning it was down to 164.8 which is a lot nicer than the 168 I saw a couple days ago! I did the Wii Fit Yoga last night and actually got my first good night of sleep! It felt so good!
Hope everyone is having a good day!
Raindancer-I hope you find your scale and congrats on the New Place!!
