Cheeriloos - Thanks for the pep talk. I really do think that is why she says some of the things she does. I was down to about 155 about three years ago. I swear she worked hard at trying to sabotage me with extra invitations to dinners and drinks, and comments of "you are getting too skinny, you look sick." She was always the "thin" one...now she probably weighs 10 lbs more than I do. Going to try and make her see that maybe she should JOIN me instead of CRITICIZING me. Thanks again...the positive comments really help!!!

I'm back from the beautiful Austrian Alps. I had a great time and ate tons of food. Real food! I didn't eat any junk but went way over portion sizes. Luckily I haven't probably gained much back I did go up quite a few lbs before I left and seemed to have lost 3 of them in a week. I just want to be under 200lbs so bad. Back on plan as of today. Congrats everyone!

I was out for friends' birthday celebrations friday night and saturday -- but 4 lbs is a bit extreme.... lets see how this week plays out!

Berlinloser.. you are so close to Onderland!! OHHH I can't wait for you to get there!!

IAN... Gotta figure what Tuesday has on you (and occasional Thursdays) Do you eat something specific on Sundays that is different (My old WW coach said that the weight would show up 2 days later on the scale)... Just thinking....

I am in the same rut (I hope my doctor figures it out.. or solves at least my neck spasming and swollen glands issue) as the last 3 months... 3 weeks of nothing except up/down then whooosh.. So lets hope that that Whoosh starts soon as the month is getting on the back end and getting shorter too!

Still sitting at 169.5 since Thursday but had a busy weekend at the dog show, ate fairly well but enjoyed a couple of beverages :-) and yesterday I had surgery on my hand and forearm. I'm sure there is inflammation going on so am not panicking but doing an IF day today to see if I can get the freakin scale to budge!
