  • Had a good weigh in at lunch. Lost 4.5 pounds since Friday. I think it's a combination of getting back on track and the late stages of TTOM. Whew!
  • Ok, for real this time. I'm back, and I'm determined.

    I had graduation weekend (and was given cakes and cookies from friends and family, and shots while eating out)...let's say it was not MRC approved.

    But now that my schedule is a bit normal, I'm totally back on track. I had to switch centers now that I've moved...but it should be ok. I think the change of pace and centers will help me stay on track too, as I won't have those "old faithful friends" at my old center who let me get away with excuses.

    I will be checking in daily to stay on track. It is amazing that when I didn't check here when I came online (or didn't have time to be online) that it was so much easier to stray because I had no accountability. Thanks for being there!

  • Hi all,

    Congrats to the losers and those who made good choices in hard stituations.

    This weekend was hard and busy . . . foodwise I did okay but did not drink enough water and despite drinking tons of water today I am still somewhat dehydrated and bloated (if that makes since).

    We were really busy this weekend and messed up the timing of my meals, water consumption, I did not drink any fiber drinks, did not exercise and did not get enough sleep so I'm not sure what the scale is going to say but if I gain I know it is only water and I know how to prevent this in the future.

    I am learning so much about myself - the main problem this weekend was I fell back into the trap of caring for everyone else and not taking any time to take care of me and now I am tired and grouchy - I think my family would have preferred I take the time to drink my water and eat when I was supposed to so that I have the energy I need to enjoy time with them rather than spending today exhausted and grumpy.

    Sorry you had a rough weekend. But happy to hear, you're back on track! You're SO close to that 30lb board!
  • Well, I didn't lose 10lbs this weekend.. darn it! HA! But I did lose .5! I'll take it. And that PiYo class kicked my butt tonight. I missed the last 2 classes because of the craft fair.. so I was so out of shape. Plus she was going a lot faster with the movements. But it felt good!

    Only 6lbs away from the 40lb board! If I don't really mess up in Chicago.. I hope to get that next week!
  • Yes Patzi, it is in the cookbook and even my fiance said it tastes like real cheesecake...lol

    I'll figure this out someday! Yes Patzi, in the cookbook! lol
  • weigh in looming
    Well, it's been a good week since my last weigh in "i think"! lol I weigh in on Wednesday and I am down 1.6 since last weigh in (on my scale) theirs is usually 1 lb. less!! lol I think this is splendid since it's almost TTOM! Usually a 3-5 lb weight gain with that!! Maybe not now since not a lot of sodium and caffeine in my body! I truly wish there were classes offered where I'm at, but I am kinda doin the distance thing and only weigh in once a week!! But it's okay..I weigh in every Wednesday and it doesn't seem like lbs come off until Sunday later in the day!! Have a fabulous week everyone...Tonight I had Chili Rubbed Tilapia and Asparagus out of cookbook...it was great but I did use Cod!
