Not really surprised. I didn't want to weigh in this morning, but I made myself to see what damage had been done this weekend. 2.6 pounds, but was enough to get me back on track and seeing the light.
Ive learned something about myself... Me no handle fast food. I had a 4 count potato popper from del taco... 440 calories. My meals are never more than 200 and my snack 120 I eat 4 meals a day spread out-it helps me keep stomach pain at bay. But that night... I had eaten all my calories already-and my stomach was killing me. So I ate about 650 calories trying to get rid of the pain.
Now I know. I have to stay away from fast food. I cannot handle even a little of it.
P.s.thank you all for the encouragement yesterday. Means a lot to me.
Hey all! So today is my first day back to school for the semester so my postings may get a little scattered depending on the day of the week lol
jacqui It helps that I have gone that route before and had the consequences of regaining so I know that only patience will get me through. This is year 4 for me already so I know alot, I just need to try to make sure to APPLY it lol

TrayTeam, way to stay accountable by weighing yourself even when you really didn't want to!
Workinglikeadog, good job on getting right back to no pm snacking! Let's face it, we're all going to mess up sometimes. The question is who is going to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and keep going!
Boating, it happens! Great job turning things back around! That's the way to do it!
Shr1nk1ngme, my fingers are crossed for you to have a good weigh-in tomorrow! I'm glad exercise is getting easier for you!
JazzyPeggy, you're getting there! Keep going!
StilettoLife, I am so sorry that you are having such trouble with your sinuses. I know how that is, and it's miserable! I hope you are feeling better this week! Great job staying in the 260's!
Turtle, I see the Whoosh Fairy is up to her favorite game of "Let's wait!"
Rsadler, good idea! No need to make yourself crazy over temporary jumps in scale numbers! Do what works best for you! :
Watchourforthatcar, you are so close to goal! Keep going!

yesterday's calories: 1600
good morning
I managed to improve my 'big round' time by 6 minutes yesterday - which technically puts my 10k time below one hour. I'm super excited. Also, my legs are sore. Let's me know I did something
boatingmommy I'm glad you are over your pity party exercise usually helps.
stilettolife hope you feel better soon.
jennybutler357 Congrats on reaching Onderland!! Well done!!

So, the party is over...pity party, that is. I actually worked out at lunch yesterday and then did another biggest loser tone and strengthen video last night. Was under in points yesterday...just by a couple. I am going to go back to posting the weight daily and keeping accountable on the weekend by posting. Since I have not been sticking to the workouts during the week, I don't have any room for a few drinks on the weekend. That's got to change.
Thank you everyone for the positive comments yesterday! You all are so helpful! It helps to know that I'm not the only one who struggles with over indulgence on the weekends.
183 - Wow, awesome on the time improvement!!! Way to go!
JennyButler - Onederland!!! How awesome for you!!! That is worth a little dancing.
NightAngel - you hang in there, and don't let anything he says change your new lifestyle. He'll catch on...especially when he keeps seeing the changes in you.
I know there are a lot of other posters, but I can't respond to everyone right now. I hope you all have a great day and treat your body right!!!
After a week of first vacation and then a loooooong conference I’ve been MIA and not tracking ☹
But after two days back in the saddle I’m actually down very very slightly! It’s amazing what all the walking during conference week will do. It’s also amazing all the salt that’s apparently in bad food that makes you retain water. Sheesh!
But yeah, I didn’t eat very well at all, and I won't make my goal this month (I'm .2 down hahaha) - but I'm going to keep shooting for it anyway since it can't hurt to do as much as I can.
1/1: 214
1/14: 213.8
Nightangel – that’s so awesome that you’re seeing visible changes!
183stGB – drunk you sounds surprisingly healthy, I’m jealous Congrats on improving your time!
boatingmommy – I’ll bet most of that is water weight – I feel like every time I put on around 5 for a bad weekend of eating and I’m surprised when I get back to drinking water/eating my veggies, how quickly things are back to normal!
Stillettolife – Sinus infections are the woooorst, hope you feel better soon.
Shr1nk1ngme – that’s so great you’re enjoying exercise instead of dreading it. I always feel better after but I’m still working toward actually looking forward to it haha.
Workinglikeadog – I’m impressed with your no PM snacking – that’s such a tough (or at least it would be for me) and you’re doing awesome!
Jennybutler357 – congrats on Onderland!!
Imabehot - Sorry about your fast food woes ☹ Your body knows best I suppose but that’s tough.

Weighed in at 161.0 this morning. I am still losing but it is slowing down.
It may soon be time for an UUAD ("Up, Up and Away Day") soon. Strangely, an occasional day of caloric indulgence (as long as I stay low-carb) can sometimes boost my weight loss.
Did my walking workout again last night. I have classes for the next three nights in a row so no walking for a few days. But I think I'm going to try to squeeze in some yoga and abs videos this morning.
Bought the cutest outfit yesterday on ebay! One of a kind and hand made! I LOVE it! I'm so excited! I bought for when I've lost the weight! So excited for the day I can fit in it! So happy that it's mine! P.S. The black bralette comes with it-it was supposed to come with something different but she lost it when she moved so she threw in the bralette in the picture!
Yikes! My scale batteries were dead on Saturday morning and i didn't get my new batteries put in until last night. I've been working out but not as diligent on my meals, but this increase was a surprise. I've been following along here while i wasn't weighing in and am glad to see all the hard work going on!!

Designchick, there is a lot of the month left! You never know! If you are holding water, you might get a big whoosh!
Turtle, congrats on a new low!!!
Shr1nk1ngme, good job on the exercise! And good luck with your UUAD! Sometimes you do just have to shake up your metabolism!
Imabehot, yay! Nice drop! And va-va-va-voom on the dress! Just think about how happy you are going to be when it fits you! What great motivation to keep going!
Woodstock, ouch! But hey, just keep going! You'll get to where you want to be!
And smart move changing your goal to one that is more feasible for you! 
I'm glad exercise is getting easier for you!
