Thank you for your kind words,just keep swimming!

I was active here for a few years, then I dropped out, but I remember some of you from before.

I haven't watched what I eat or exercised much since then but have managed to maintain, mostly. Hubby and I have fallen into a routine of a lot of TV watching, but we have decided we need to change our ways, watch our eating and get more exercise. We bought a small RV from one of Hubby's friends who was up-grading, and are planning our first trip soon; just a short drive to a local state park for a few days. We are taking our dog, April, so we hope to be able to hike around with her for motivation.

Unfortunately, Hubby's work keeps sending him on cross country trips for a week at a time which leaves me home alone {well, with April }. And then I'm alone so I tend to eat to cheer myself up. {bad penguin} But I'm trying to get a grip on this habit and change my ways. I'm hoping that having a group to relate to will keep me motivated, not so focused on myself, and on track.

That's great,I think there's something really cool about couples who are active together !

Up two lbs. starting exercising today. Kids are almost off to school. It will be weird to have the day to self.

Cruise is coming up Oct 4 and I am hoping to get physically better before we go. Went to church and then to see Dad in hospital yesterday ate chocolate zucchini bread. Need to get eating under control. New day right?!? Already broke diet today. I just can not get it together.

Down a couple more pounds. It seems to be whoosh week! I'm only 6 lbs. away from getting out of here!

pretty good eating day, plus I did 30 min of weights.

Victoria, Hubby and I really don't have much in common, so we tend to tolerate each others hobbies but do them alone. I'm hoping camping can break the cycle of watching Tv all the time. At least we mostly agree on the same shows. Great wedding photo!

I have been maintaining within 194 for a while... I haven't been doing what I should be. My birthday was on Saturday and I ate a ridiculous amount of food. Also I got a chocolate cake today from a co worker and though it was a sweet gesture it tempted me! I ate one piece and shared half of the cake with my co workers. I will go like 1000 calories over one day then do good for 3 days so I'm not losing. But also not gaining. I guess I could be doing much worse.. I just don't want to do this again! I'm making a sensible dinner. Stayed within my limits yesterday(for the most part, 6 calories over) & also looks good for today, even with the 300 calorie piece of chocolate cake

Hope everyone is succeeding and doing well!
Working on getting another soon !!! fingers cross

Raworz we're both about the same weight, man I'm so over these 190s!

I'm trying hard to stay on track, but this week seriously threatens derailment. You know when you have those weeks when you have lots of engagements and eating is out of your control? Or at least what your options are. I'm preparing for the possibility of my first gain since being back on the wagon. But I'm determined to be as good as possible, and hope that I can minimise the effects.

Raworz. I do the same thing. Do good for three days then blow it, usually on the weekend. I just can not get myself together but I am setting a 30 day goal and see if that helps.

Had fruit for breakfast. Doing good so far. :-)

Have a great day.

My scale played a nasty trick this morning,i stepped on last time at 239, this morning was 210. I weighed again and was 238, made a lot more sense but now I wish it really was 210 darn!:-)

Oh cheeri, that's cold! A cold mean trick. Bad scale!

Ugh!! 2 years ago i lost 30 lbs got down to around 240ish and was so happy and now 2 years later im up to 295-300. I feel miserable but i cant seem to get myself out of the funk and actually do the work. Ill eat good all day and work as soon as i leave oh mcdonalds is easy or even healthy ill eat 2 bowls of cereal instead of 1. I feel like im at my rock bottom and i cant seem to get up :/

Amberkkski. We are all in the same boat. We understand. Welcome!

Ladies, I have fallen off the wagon so hard I'm still bouncing. I could blame work and stress and a number of other things, but the truth is there's no one and nothing to blame but myself. I'm working on trying to get back on track. It's one step forward, two steps back with me lately, but I'm trying.

Thistoo. I am so sorry. Thinking of you.

Down 2 lbs from high of 238. Exercised regular this week up to hour last two days. Very proud of self. Now just need to make it through the weekend without losing it.

Have a great OP day.
