Congrats on making your goal Jiggle!

Uggg....had chinese last night, as planned, but only drank 1/3 my normal water, then had 2 alcoholic drinks. So after having 2 litres of water this afternoon, I got on the scale, out of curiosity, and I was up SEVEN pounds. I know that it's sodium and alcohol (dehydration), and am not worried about it, but it was still a shocker to see how high it can go! LOL

jiggle- Yay!!!

I did good today, had 1389 calories. No junk food! Gained 1.5lbs. even though I did well all week. 2 times this week I had a little candy, no P.B or ice cream and I gain!

I hope you see a loss soon Fruitlady.

Have a great day ladies, Easter is tomorrow!

Geesh I have been one busy lady.~After leaving the ball game Thursday(my sons team lost ~no biggie ~he had a blast which is what matters) I went to back up to pull out to go home & backed into a parked car~(it was the only car parked behind the others~But was in a parking spot~UGH)~I just Thank God noone was in it & noone got hurt~& thank God I have full coverage insurance. Anyways I will get the new challenge started tomorrow~I am so sorry to have not been with y'all that much during this challenge~I am proud of all of u.~HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED EASTER.

Good luck everyone!

Happy Easter to all!!! Congratulations to everyone that met their goals and keep going for everyone that perhaps fell a bit short! I've really appreciated the support and encouragement on this thread.

PHAT, Northern, and Jiggle Congrats on meeting your goals!

Ekicna WTG on not giving up, you are almost to your goal!

Fit You did great!! I've really appreciated your support and I'm gonna bust my butt to join you on the 230s thread!!

As for me, I met all of my goals for this challenge! Woohoo! I am now less than 3 lbs from my 5% loss, my mini-goal 1! Looking forward to the next challenge! Memorial Day, everyone?!

I knocked my goal out of the park, and more. Not to mention, I don't think I broke over 1600 cals any day, and I've been on vacation with the family for easter since Thursday. Awww yeaaaah.

GRRRR For the last few days my weight has gone up, even though I am being good, and staying on plan (well aside from Chinese food and a couple of drinks on Thursday, which was planned). I am up 1.5lbs this morning, and I am not sure how to think about that. Friday morning I was up (from my last weigh in, last Sunday) 7lbs, which I knew was likely dehydration and sodium (alcohol and chinese food). I have stayed within my calories, and the only other thing I have changed is that I have got back to walking 3 miles a day (or more), but since I had been doing that daily up until a couple of weeks ago, and I am not stiff at all, I wouldn't suspect that would cause me to retain water. Also I have been drinking 4 litres of water a day, trying to help flush that sodium out.

*sigh* how depressing. While I still met my Easter Challenge goal, it bumps me back into the 270's (at 271.2).


Edited to add: Ok, so I was thinking about it, and started checking sodium content on things. Last night for supper I had spaghetti squash with spaghetti sauce...sauce contained 28% of the daily intake of sodium per 1/2 cup (which is how much I had). Then I also had 2 sausage rolls because I had tons of calories left in the evening, and apparently they have super high sodium (I don't have the recipe or nutritional information, so I googled) which could explain the weight gain this morning. Of course, dinner tonight is ham, so tomorrow's a bust too! Damn sodium! lol

Happy Easter Everyone!!! Thank God for the gift of His Son!! Have fun and no overindulging!!! We want to maintain our progress thus far and be ready for the next challenge.
