ophelia: I love your positive attitude. I know it can be hard to keep it up, especially after a few days of bad weigh-ins. But you're paying attention and doing what you need to do to make it better, and that's what is most important. There were probably days (months? years?) where you didn't pay so much attention, right? I mean that's probably why we're all here. You're making a ton of progress and I bet that you'll have it in gear for your Dietbet. Look how far you've come!
momtopands: I am sorry to hear about your hard news. My husband used to be pre-diabetic. After we started dating and I supported him with it (his Mt. Dew habit, in particular...) it went away. Making those dietary changes REALLY does make a difference. I've seen it! I would take his blood sugar (and we still check it occasionally) and it went way down after just a couple of months of really making positive changes. You can do it!
kfunk: Congrats on your achievements! I did WW online years and years ago. (I'm WAY too shy and uncomfortable about going to a group. That will simply never happen.) What made you want to go back to it? Do you go to a group or do it online? I'm just curious; I didn't stop because I disliked it, I just kinda fell away from it, I guess.
flower: You are so supportive of everyone. Keep up the good work on your loss!
clarita: Oh man, can I relate. It seems like every time I start to make progress, my dumb period shows up and wants to just trash everything. In a few days it will be over. It usually takes me a week to drop all the water I hold, even if I drink tons and tons.
Congrats to so many on your losses!
I realize that my weigh-in numbers probably look like they would be disappointing (returning to Friday's weight). But honestly, I am thrilled about it. Historically, weekends have been absolutely DEVASTATING for me, setting me back 1-2 weeks at a time. This is the first weekend, in.. gosh, I do not even KNOW how long, that I have broke even!!! I am SO excited about this! It means that for ONCE, I will make ACTUAL progress this week! I am so thrilled about it! I owe some of the thanks to you guys, because it occurred to me quite a few times over the weekend that I would be reporting back to you. So THANKS!
Positives: I avoided McDonalds (huge trigger for me, lol), birthday cupcakes at my nephew's bday party, and I worked out an extra day, plus I stuck to my workout plan. I am sore and feel pretty good!
Goals for this week: I'd LOVE to get to 172. Lots of H20 - gallon plus workout water! My daily walks at work that are 1-2 miles in addition to my workouts, and I'd like to do yoga at least once this week.

I am sorry to hear about your recent health issues. Its nice that the doctor is giving you a few months to continue on to see if that helps, I really think it will. And, awesome job learning all you can about what you should be eating. You have done so well, I have no doubt you will have success turning it around. I had to give myself blood thinner shots in my stomach for about a year and maaaan, it was hard giving them to myself, especially at first, so even though you are a nurse it doesn't surprise me that you didn't want to poke yourself!

Hope you're able to get some more comforting numbers on the scale once the TOM bloat dies down a little.
And, good luck with the WW!! Keep us posted on how that goes.
