Ophelia- That is so exciting that your husband is coming home today!!! Keeping sunscreen in your car is a fantastic idea!! We go through it like crazy at my house, I should just stock pile bottles so that we always have it around!
Ange- Nice Whoosh!!!!! Here is the recipe. I misspoke when I said there was peanut sauce, it is actually sesame oil. It is still very good though!! The other recipes on the website are worth checking out, she has lots of gluten free recipes that are fantastic.
40 lbs down, YAY ME! I am so excited. I think my body is in upside down land with this losing during TOM, but that was always me. I am planning to keep these losses and keep moving toward my goal! Thank you everyone for your support! Let's keep going!

Momtopands 40 lbs is amazing, congrats! Glad your daughter is back at home and acclimating to the new normal.
Ange82much Committed but not enthusiastic seems like a familiar description of me at least once a week. Lol.
Kfunk6113 Excellent progress, I think you’re going to beat your goal this month.
Nicoley73 You won trivia and you didn’t go up. I consider that a double win. Hope you’re feeling better after the giant ball of carbs. I hate it when you eat something that tastes so good and then you get the food hangover. Blah. I had a bite of my daughters doughnut and regretted it immediately.
Ophelia Congrats on hitting your goal for this month. I had a drop that I knew was due to dehydration and wouldn’t stay, but it was nice (and shocking) to see on the scale. Definitely motivating! You’re doing really well this month, excellent work.

This week has been really crazy, band concerts and work events in the evening, super busy during the day at work. We had a records request from a client that sent everyone in to a tailspin, and simultaneously trying to finalize contracts on a project that already started. It’s been…a week. Stayed on plan every day except for Wednesday, when I drank my dinner at the work event. I should have had something to eat, but nothing really sounded good. When I got home I drank some water and went to bed. Woke up to a 2.8 lb (water) loss. Last night had a salty dinner (zucchini noodles, prosciutto, green olives, tomatoes, garlic and a smattering of fresh parm) so I wasn’t sure where I would land this morning. It’ll even out this weekend I’m sure.

kfunk that recipe looks great. I'll definitely be trying it out. So quick I don't even need to do the batches/freezing scenario, but probably would anyway! I'll try it early next week and let you know how I go!
momtopands 40lbs is fantastic!! What a milestone! Great to hear you sounding happy and motivated to keep going too. Really well done!
snowmama hope you can find a bit of chill time this weekend after being so busy. Finishing contracts after the project starts is sort of something i'm trying to do at work at the moment too - doesn't really help with negotiations!! Nice work with the food discipline this week
I've dropped a smidge again 55.3kg now
Think i'm going to head to the shops today and see if I can find some 'bottoms' to fit! I've got a pair of jeans that are a tiny bit big but comfortable, which I like really, and a new pair of black jeans that are good, but more for going out, and that's pretty much all that fits at the moment!! So I wouldn't mind getting some trousers of some sort, and maybe even a casual mini-skirt to wear with black opaque tights/boots kind-of-thing. We're going in to winter here, so thinking warm stuff!
And Vivid started last night. It's a light festival that runs in Sydney every year where they light up the city with different light effects on different buildings and interactive displays etc. It gets bigger and better every year, and it's only about 40min walk to get to the Opera House from our house and plenty to see on the way, so think we'll go have a look this evening
ange so exiting you're down past your goal! Enjoy maintenance. Those pictures are absolutely beautiful! I have always wanted to visit Australia, maybe one day......
Still holding onto my 40 lb loss in spite of a slight bump up but I'm not worried about it. I walked outside and did 45 minutes pulling weeds in the garden this morning so i'm having a good day. I did have steak last night, they finally arrived! I ate more than I should have so now i'm back to proper amounts, lol. We also got beef roasts so i'm going to make that today. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Snowmama – Thank you! Congrats on being 2 lbs. down, especially during a crazy week like that !!
Joe- Hi there! How are you doing?
Ange- GOAL!!!! Change that last red to green girl!!! Great job!! I am so happy that you were able to stick with it when you were stuck and then reap the rewards of your patience!! Yes, please let me know what you think of it! Let us know how shopping goes!! I can’t wait to be able to wear a skirt with tights! It is 95 degrees here now, so we are in opposite seasons. The lighting festival sounds awesome, I love the pics!!
Joe: Good to see you checking in...hope all is well, and great work the last few days!
ange82much: Congrats on hitting your target weight for the month, and wow -- nice whooshes! (P.S. That festival looks like it would be an incredibly beautiful sight...how neat!)
momtopands: I hope so! And, CONGRATS on hitting 40 lbs down -- especially during TOM!
kfunk: I definitely learned my lesson with the sunscreen!
nicoley73: Nice loss!
SnowMama: My little dehydration drop didn't stick either...but, here's to us both getting back to them over the weekend!
-----------------------------------------
Weigh-in was down a bit from Thursday to 175.6, but still not back down to where I was just yet. However, I snacked on the car ride back a little more than I usually would and I also only got in one bottle of water all day yesterday (only 2.2 liters), so I'm hoping that I will see some more movement downward tomorrow after being more on track today. We are going out for that dinner and movie tomorrow, though, so I'm really hoping I don't do too much damage right before the final weigh in of the week on Monday...I'm going to do my best to go light on the meals and get in my workout out of the way in the morning beforehand to help prepare for it.

Vivid was good. An outrageous amount of people in the city though! Had 3 glasses of wine and a burger (less the bun, less the chips) over the course of the night, so not really part of the diet - more my transition to maintenance weekly treat! Plenty of walking though. We've got the lamb roast in the slow cooker as well today so will be going easy on volumes there.
Bought this suede skirt, but in black. Should be useful for putting with heaps of jumpers/tops. Tried a few trousers on too, but nothing was great, and I really wanted to get new bra's, but really really I don't like shopping, and it was too much effort, haha, so didn't bother and was home within an hour! Another time.....
This is my first post-party weigh-in where I haven't gained a pound or two of food/water weight in I-don't-know-how-long. I even went down a few ounces!
ange - Wow, Vivid is stunning! I love that skirt. I know what you mean about shopping. I've never been a fan myself and prefer to keep my excursions short.
yangtzer - Good streak!
ophelia - Enjoy dinner and the movie!
momtopands - Do you order meat from a local farm? I've been considering ordering meat from a place like that.
Snowmama - What a week! Did you enjoy the concerts?
Have a great Sunday, all!

Ange: That's a cute skirt...and, I hope you're able to make another trip soon to get the pants/trousers and bras you need, as well!
Chunkah: Great job at the party and being able to see a loss instead of a gain afterward...that is awesome!
-----------------------------------------
Weigh-in was down a bit more, back down to Thursday's low of 175.4. Considering that we ended up having a change of plans and doing the dinner and movie** last night instead of today, I'm just happy to see it come down - even just a tad - instead of bump up! However, yesterday was even lower on water, so I'm making that my main focus today since I'd been doing so well with it before my husband got home...lol. We will see what happens for the week's final weigh-in tomorrow.
(** In case you were wondering, we saw Deadpool 2, and it's been a long time since I have laughed that much or that loud in a theater...lol.)

Yeah! Another swoosh this morning and I don't know whether it'll stay or not but i'm right back completely on my graph trendline now. Another week I reckon, max two, and i'll have enough wiggle room to experiment with proper wiggling (maintenance)!
joe great job the last few days, keep up the hard work!!
Ophelia Nice drops!! I have heard nothing but good things about that movie. I have yet to see the first one, but would like to!
ange Congrats on your latest swoosh!! Do you know how low you will go for wiggle room before you switch to maintenance? Cute skirt!! I need bras as well, but like you I am in no hurry to go shopping for them!
Enjoy maintenance. Those pictures are absolutely beautiful! I have always wanted to visit Australia, maybe one day......
