I had a much better day yesterday. I'm slowly getting back in the groove with eating and exercise. Did a 15 min walk yesterday and stayed in control of my eating. I will start weighing again on Monday.

Have a great day everyone.

Woodstock: You're flying toward your goal! Great work!
You'd [I]think[I/] I'd be able to trust my weight drop after two days, but often I can't. If it's been the better part of a week, then I trust it. It's just my loss pattern. :shrug:

The scale numbers are interesting...some of yours, like mine, never registers an odd number fraction. Is Volatis's really that sensitive?

Thanks Jacqui :hug:

Nice drop NurseMom :cheer2:

Weighing myself for the first time in many months at the beginning of this week was really disheartening as the scales have gone up so much. That said, my high of 167 may have not been quite "real", but a result of an indulgent week of Christmas vacation. Hence the quick fall this week... I'll be interested to see if the same exercise/food plan is as productive next week!

Well, it's a small drop, but I'll take it! We stayed home almost all weekend due to bitter cold and the fact that we had been running every weekend since Thanksgiving. I had absolutely no alcohol. I'm in a challenge with a girlfriend not to drink the month of January to see how that affects our weight loss.

Good to see the losses! On to week two!

Looks like a good drop to me, Boating! Ditching the alcohol may do nothing for weight loss, but you'll feel better.
