  • Feeling good about slow but sure progress this week. Time to make a plan for the upcoming long weekend (Monday off in Ontario) which includes a Friday night Valentine dinner!!

    SW: 149.6
    GW: 144.6

    Jan 31: 149.6 (Friday)
    Feb 1: dnw
    Feb 2: 151.0 +1.4
    Feb 3: 151.3 +.3
    Feb 4: 149.5 -1.7 (Tuesday)
    Feb 5: 148.3 -1.2
    Feb 6: 148.3 -
    Feb 7: 148.8 +.5 (Friday)
    Feb 8: 148.3 -.5
    Feb 9: dnw
    Feb 10: 149.6 +.3
    Feb 11: 148.7 -.9 (Tuesday)
    Feb 12: 148.0 -.7
    Feb 13: 147.5 -.5

    Editing to add the analysis that at least for this month, my Friday weight is my low for the week and the impact of the weekend is not eliminated until Tuesday of the following week which essentially has been the same as Friday's number. This is not surprising, but it is interesting how consistent it has been for the last 2 weeks...

  • Woodstock and Darius - I am glad (okay, not glad)...feel comforted to know that I am not the only one who has had to kick butt all week to make up for bad weekend choices. I just wish weekend eating didn't count...life would be so much easier! And here the weekend is again...I REALLY want to be good this weekend, and not blow it...good luck you two, too!

  • hello...
    nursemomof06: Hey going out is hard....so many temptations, so if you managed to maintain that's a good thing!

    katerina11 yeah don't sweat it, it's probably TOM related, tends to pack on pretty heavy for no apparent reason.....bet you'll see a nice whoosh soon!

    bugsiee Good job, keep it up!

    marliqq slow and steady, no harm in taking your time!

    183stgb yeah when we don't sleep right it seems the body holds on to things.... water seemingly...I still need sleep myself last 2 days, baby is teething, not sleeping as well. Get some Zzzzs

    misssmcc so is that bad? being the same? well, better than up right?

    soon2beskinnycarma sudden whoosh? nice! mIGHT HAVE BEEN SODIUM, OR tom coming... I know mine sometimes drops right beforehand... good drop though

    kelijpa cold, yeah know what ya mean...I didn't think we were this low but I think we ran out today... the heating people were supposed to come yesterday but sounded like they forgot when I called... hopefully they can get up the driveway today...

    noshoes congrats on the loss!

    turtle11 nice loss!!You are so squeaky close to goal !!! Go you!

    boatingmommy yeah splurging sucks...good for you getting back on track though!!

    gardenerjoy nice job making a habit out of check in.... is it getting easier?...or perhaps i should say more natural?

    shr1nk1ngme hey thats not a bad pattern, and it's neat you noticed it too...good job on the loss!

    avezy44 awesome, so close now!! keep it up!

    woodstock good for you for noticing a pattern, and for creeping down...all downs are good downs.... in this instance! Keep plugging away at it!

    sum39 aww...lil raise but wow look where you started! I'm sure it's a temporary setback!

    darius yes going off plan seems to take some time to fix, no worries you've been doing so well, now you can be back on track!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend, works much better for me to get back on track Sunday rather than Monday. Best to all, will be shoveling out again today, plan on having a treat today, trying to have the mind set of a treat or two a day on the weekend rather than a treat DAY or two...

    Best to all
