I am putting down yesterday's weigh-in number because I was scared to weigh myself today. I was doing well yesterday, but my husband unexpectedly brought some food home last night that was overall healthy (chicken and garlic), but high in sodium and sauteed in more oil than I would use at home. So, I stayed off the scale to avoid any unpleasant surprises from water retention. I'm sure I went over my calories by at least 300. Anyway....trying to stick to my plan overall, but there are always unexpected surprises.

kelijpa - still plugging away!

8/14 - 169

10/8 - 149 (GOAL)

Of course, I wanted more off, but am happy to have stayed in the 170's after it seemed so long to get here...

best to all - that's right Guac! plugging away

Can I jump in here tooż I'm down 1 pound since yesterday. Yay. It was a nice suprise. I'm at 213 now.

Good evening all!

Down 2 pounds this week! Happy about this since we are still undergoing quite a bit of stress in our household due to my MIL's illness and DH business concerns (one is not related to the other) so, much to worry about in our world.

6 months ago I would have turned to King Size Snickers Bars for help and consolation during a time like this but this time I am continuing to focus on my goals and refuse to give in. Besides, I don't know if you are aware of this or not, but overeating or binging on food does not, in fact, solve any problems.

I tried for MANY years to get it to work but sadly, no. **sigh**

I am proudly wearing my silver and bronze 30+ pounds lost rings and have set a goal of 254 by Thankksgiving and 246 by the end of the year. This would set me up to go into 2013 with just 100# to loose. Such a long haul...I try to focus on my short term goals, rather than the long road that is ahead. It's just too much to think about...

And so it goes

Thanks so much for listening ladies! Happy to be here!
