We went to Massachusetts on the 23rd for my stepfather's funeral. We just arrived home this morning. It was really so very hard. The day we left I hit 112.5...but I've been on a non-stop binge since then. I've watched my weight the whole time and it's been staying around 114-115. I'll do my official weigh in for the week tomorrow and report then...though I'm sure I'll be back up to even more than when the race started. *sigh*

The worst is my belly. Even when I don't gain, if I eat sugar and refined carbs more than two days in a row my stomach gets huge.

goinforthegold, you sound like your describing my life.

1) We just went to my MIL's funeral 2 weeks ago.
2) I am now three pounds heavier then when I started this challenge!
3) The worst is my belly. Even when I don't gain, if I eat sugar and refined carbs more than two days in a row my stomach gets huge.

SIGH!!

Son of a ....*$&$^#($&%^$%# I'm 118 today!!!! ACK!!!! Ok, ok...that's enough fooling around...I'm back in the race!!!! Course now I have to lose 9lbs. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid....!!!!!

Weighed in at 135.5 this morning, for the third morning in a row (i.e., it's "sticking"). That's 6 pounds since the race began.

Good luck, ladies!

I guess we have a winner then. Congratulations!!!!!!!!

goinforthegold Are you my twin? And who is calling my twin "stupid"? Tell that person to take a hike!!

WTG Kim!!!

I still have a long way to go. I was down to 143, but am back up to 144 this morning (which is better than yesterday's 145.5!).

[kaw]

Don't stop the race on my account! I'd like to see *everyone* finish.

As for my "victory," it's hardly fair because I started the race during my TOM. Can you say water retention?

I've been stuck at 133-134 for the past week. Boo-hoo!

[goinforthegold]

ROFL Carolyn...I guess so...just a shorter version. Ugh, my gut is so bad after the past week. It's so fooish of me, it was really starting to get nice and flat. ARGH.

Congrats Kim!!! You gonna pick up your prize now? LOL Guess we're racing for second place now.

I'm back on track today so I'm back in the race baby!!! Look out...I'm going for second place!! Meanwhile, I'm starving right now, which ticks me off b/c it's bedtime so I refuse to eat...AND I ate a good supper, plus an apple, a couple handfulls of popcorn and cucumber since suppertime so there's no reason for me to be hungry. *sigh*

[goinforthegold]

Update: I weighed in this am and the scale is back down to 115. Whew!! Thank goodness. I guess 3 lbs of what I thought I put on was just water, etc. So, I'm only up a pound I guess since we started.

Congrats Kim!!!!!!

Bad news for me...my vacation stuck about 5 pounds back on me...I'm up to 144. Argggh. I'm going to wait a few days before changing my ticker, but I'm not happy to say the least.

[goinforthegold]

Ok, I'm so excited. I was 113.5 today...almost back to my ticker weight and almost back to the weight I was when we left for Mass. Luckily it's coming off easily and fast...must have been more water, etc than anything. Hopefully I'll be ticker weight by tomorrow...maybe and maybe by my weigh in Tuesday I'll be back to my pre-trip weight.

At any rate, 113.5 puts me at .5 lost for this race, I think...I think I was 114 when it started.

How's everyone else doing??

[alinnell]

143 this morning. Still not quite there, but hanging in there!

[walking2lose]

138.1 yesterday. I hope last night's massive bowl of popcorn, cooked in oil and salted AND the 2 bowls of sorbet don't set me back too much!

[stiebena]

I will weigh in tomorrow and let you know!
