magistra17 ~ I know exactly how you feel. Any downward trend the scale shows me, the happier I am. Glad to see the snacking didn't cause you any trouble in that respect. Kudos.

GordonGirl16 ~ That is sound logic. When we have less to lose, its just a lot more difficult to make our bodies let go. So I think that 5 is a very reasonable goal.

Turtle11 ~ on that drop.

boatingmommy ~ That sounds like a great weekend. Wish I could get my boyfriend on the water. Funniest thing as he grew up in CT on the coast and for the life of him, he just will not go out into the water in anything smaller than a cruise ship. Beats the heck out of me. I grew up on the water and on the boat every weekend, so its just a shame. I've been pushing for a boat for 2 years now. I'm gonna have me one and he can sit his butt right here while I take that bad boy out.. In any case, great job on making great choices. Your body will thank you.

lovemylife001 ~ That is awesome. Congrats on that loss. Oh my, you are definitely on your way to goal. You are doing an amazing job with self-control and making great choices. Kudos.

berryblondeboys ~ That is great. I sure hope you continue to see that trend. It looks like whatever you are doing is working for you.

Sandye where are thou?

So, yesterday was a big day for us in this house. Other families gather round for the Superbowl and yesterday was our "Superbowl" for gaming, E3. Man it was an amazing day. Information overload to say the least. Just an FYI if anyone was looking into jumping to the next generation of game consoles for the kids for Christmas, the Xbox One is the one to choose as they just announced backwards compatibility with the old system. So any games that you already have will work on the new system which isn't offered by any of the other game console manufactures. (Best bang for your buck.) Okay, so on to more pressing matters, TOM. I feel like I've been run over by a mack truck who then put the truck into reverse and ran over me again while laughing hysterically. Urgh, this one is hitting me hard. BUT thankful its upon me before vacation and not on vacation. The scale is doing the TOM thing, kind of like wheel of fortune, just never know wheres it gonna land. So, yeah. But I'm checking in with you fine folks and then some cardio. I hope you folks have an amazing day and do please remember to HAVE FUN!!!!

Good Morning Everyone Finally a day with no rain upon waking lol

GordonGirl16- That was very wise to change your goal to something you felt was obtainable. Great job and Good Luck

Delphi- Thank you for the kind words, you are always so encouraging. TOM will be showing up for me any day now, trying to get all the exercise in before that happens lol

BerryBlondeBoys- Awesome on your weight loss, you are doing terriffic


So this morning I woke up and went to the HS track. I use to go all the time before I got my dog. Now that my dog has died, I'm back at the track. It's been 13 years since I had been there.

I saw so many new faces and some old ones too. It was really inspiring to see so many people of all ages running and walking. I just wanted to do something different to switch up my workouts, but I really enjoyed it and got some sun to. I will definitely be going back.

Have a great day everyone and I'll try to check in later

Hi girls!!! I finally have a little time (but not enough time for personals) to check in.

Okay, so as you can see, it has been a rough few days. Friday I woke up with that killer headache, took some Motrin. Field trip went okay, other than it being HOT as all get out, Friday night was Girls' Night and while I didn't go crazy with the food (I barely had anything), I did have two small cups of sangria. Woke up Saturday to a gain, chalked it up to the Motrin and the alcohol. Worked out, hit Panera with a friend (no worries, ate like a champ, she's my weight loss buddy ), and then my body decided that it wanted to be miserable. I felt like I had a fever. Aches, pains, sore muscles...more Motrin. Sunday, woke up to another gain but felt a little better. Spent the day being lazy and then went out to see some waterfalls here. Walking around and 'hiking' around the rocks sent my knee into a tizzy and I hobbled the rest of the way. I had been in a funk since Thursday when I hit 50 lbs (who knew that kind of milestone would be depressing?!) and when dinner time came around, I wanted Italian in a big way. We hit Buca and while I didn't go nuts, I did enough damage to go way over calories. Hello Monday gain. Sigh...I stuck to workouts and eating right and thankfully the scale was kind today. I just need to get my water in today and try to avoid the Motrin today (which might be hard--Tony made me do squats and lunges grrr).

Anyway, congratulations to everyone who had losses this week!! I am so proud of each and every one of you!! Delphi ~ You asked for it: You can do this girl, stay the course!!! We're here for you!!

Okay ladies, gotta run, I'll try to get caught up on personals next time, until then, hang in there, be strong, eat well, move that body and DRINK YOUR WATER!!!

Thanks everyone for your positive comments. I appreciate you! It's hard work isn't it? This war on food. Hugs and good vibes to everybody!

I thought for sure I'd have a big water weight gain today. I didn't drink much water yesterday and also had an extremely high sodium meal. I woke up this morning so dehydrated. My lips were all puffy and cracked, and my head feels like I'm hungover. But at least this is an easy fix, all I need is water.

Verywell, that little bump up will come back down now that you'll be getting back to your normal routine!

Keli, the scale's just messing with you! Keep at it!

Good morning girls!

Gordongirl~ I hope you got all of your water in yesterday! Summer heat always makes me retain more. Keep guzzling!

Magistra ~ You're doing it!!! Yeah, it's tough work, but it is so worth it in the end!

LovelyLeah ~ Sending you lots of water whooshing too! Drink up, drink up!!

JacquiD ~ Thanks! Aside from cranky knees yesterday, the full body aches seem to be gone. on the new low(s)!!! Awesome job!!!!

Verywell ~ not too horrible a gain for being on vacation. JacquiD is right, it'll fall right back off once you get back to your normal.

Keli ~ That number will be back down in no time, blips like that are so normal...frustrating, but normal. Keep up the fantastic work!
