Hey I also just joined and am catching up on all the chatter! What a great group of women! Can't wait to get to know you all better!

I've just joined as well.
I have been off the wagon and I have gained 5 pounds of the 15 pounds that I’ve lost after I started dieting (yet again) in January. So I’m really going to try to get motivated before I gain all the weight back and then some.
I got back on the wagon sunday, and now it’s tuesday morning and I’m down 1.3 lbs., so another 3.7 lbs. and my tracker will be up to date. I decided not to move my tracker as an incentive to work harder and I definitely will try to lose the other 3.7 lbs. ASAP. I have signed up for the 20 lbs. challenge, but together with the first 5 lbs. that I have to lose I will actually be doing a 25 lbs. challenge.
I hope to get to know all of you better.

Amany, PinkSnowDays, Girlieorkie....Welcome! This is becoming my favorite thread because everybody is so talkative. I applaud you for joining after we've already reached 11 pages. HAHAH, I always feel so intimidated to join a thread that long. Really we just started. The more the merrier!

Pink, what does that name mean? PinkSnowDays?

For the rest of the room..I wish TOM would hurry. I know its only been 2 days but I gained 4lbs before it started and I'm up another 1.5lbs this morning. I know most of it will go away when I'm done. I just have to make sure I eat good this week to make up for last week. I hope I didn't do too much damage last week. My stomach is cramping so I'm starting light with a banana. Ive been getting my water in this week. Love that. That's a fairly new habit in my weight loss journey. I started out less than a month ago putting 4 bottles of water in the fridge (equalling 64 fl oz) and telling myself that's not much to drink. It really isn't. I find if I start the day and end the day with water, it's very easy to get. Now sometimes I have more!

I have not gained anything yet for TOM (crosses fingers) but I haven't lost anything either. The good thing about it is I usually have a big loss the next week (1.5-3 lbs... yeah not big for some people but big for me). I've been exercising more than usual this week and trying to up my average calorie intake by about 50 a day to take the extra calories I'm burning into consideration. The week is still young so we'll see what happens.

WW weigh in confirmed my 2lb loss to 267, very happy with that. I am going to journal this week to see if I do better. I think sometimes my memory fails me with how much I have eaten for the day.

It is also TOM for me, ole Auntie Flo should drop in about Thursday or Friday. Thank you Jesus.

Have a groovy day.

(((Hugs)))
