275!!!! I reached my goal for this month! 10 lbs down!

Now that that is out of my system I am totally 10/10 today. Hard not to be.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I am a 7/10 for staying on plan...I had la big piece if leftover pizza (healthy homemade though) for breakfast. I went to an auction today and packed my lunch so I wouldn't buy a coney or sauerkraut dog there ( cup of pasta salad). Tonight it's grilled wings and drinks at the pub. I don't have a set day to go "crazy" but it's usually Saturday when I do.

Had a rough week eating wise I'm afraid to weigh but I got to the gym anyways lol I'm a 10/10 right now

Crazy week here, too. Did go to gym and pushed hard. Lots of weeding completed and believe me that is exercise. Will transplant some Black Eyed Susans into a new area this evening when it cools down some.

I went to two birthday parties today. Thank goodness it was my Carb Day, but I am going to weigh a lot more tomorrow morning! Lol!

fcoad2, always happy to see a commitment number go up! This is a great place for support!

Tongirl, congrats!

Love2garden, great job in the garden (definitely exercise!) and the gym!

lpn, yay on getting to the gym! I'm with you on not wanting to step on the scale, lol! :

PrairieQueen, I think I have your Carb Day beat today, lol!

CCBrownie, I hope the weekend is being good to you!

Raining, yay! I'm glad you are feeling so committed!

MsTibbles, you rock! Keep going!

Carmie48, I think that is perfectly understandable!

10/10 today. The scale doesn't want to budge, but I stayed on plan all weekend

Happy Monday!

Doing good today... 10/10

Struggled yesterday

I'm 10/10 today for eating. My usual egg wrap for breakfast, half a reuben with homemade kraut and dressing, bakery sourdough, and Swiss cheese for lunch. Tonight dry rub boneless thighs on grill, zucchini chips browned in coconut oil, and tomato/onion "salad." I'm a 10/10 for activity as well: been up and down the school steps several times today and plan on doing some gardening after dinner...I have tomatoes that need picking and "dead" plants to remove.


I didn't get my water in this weekend at all. At the auction Saturday, there is only a Port-a-Potty, so I refrain from drinking too much so I don't have to use it. Then we went out and stayed out longer than I planned and didn't get my water in then either. I was puffy yesterday...almost back to normal today. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow.....

Have a good one all.

Hey PQ... your food sounds delish!

Lovely Leah,
Right now, I am very motivated. Lost 37 lbs 3 yrs ago and gained back 15 lbs this year, so I am back at it so it doesn't all come back.
Try one of the IP chocolate drink mix recipes and it is close to chocolate cake type cookies.
Craving chocolate!

I made these little chocolate gems last night and they hit he spot!

You need:
1 chocolate drink IP pack (or 1 heaping scoop of chocolate whey isolate)
1 egg
1 Tbs pure coco
1 tbs olive oil or coconut oil
1/2 tsp of baking powder and baking soda
1 Tbs of walden farms chocolate syrup or davinci Sugar free chocolate cake syrup
1 Tbs of vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 400f, mix all ingredients to make a smooth mixture. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and place spoonfuls of mixture on the sheet.

Bake for 15-17 minutes.

Raining, CCBrownie, and PrairieQueen, love those high numbers!

Mammijay, that sounds yummy!

I am a 10/10 today! I am more on track today than I have been the entire weekend!

10/10 which is more than I can say for the last month. I'm afraid to step on the scale honestly.

10/10 - finally seeing some progress with clothes and really getting into my walks in the evenings!

I was up 1.2 lbs this morning for no reason except......checked the calendar and TOM is right around the corner. I was depressed there for a tiny bit, because even after my carb "frenzy" the scale hadn't moved. Then, when I'm behaving it went up. Anyway, I know it will all disappear on day 3 of TOM.

I am a 9/10 today....sore throat, stuffy nose, yuk! My organic chicken/cheese burrito exploded in the microwave and it was all I had for lunch. Luckily about half of it remained intact and I have an emergency almond/blueberry mix in my desk if I begin to starve

I'm 7/10 for exercise. I'm not feeling it....no major gardening tonight, just picking some tomatoes and basil and going back in.

Howyoulose, I hope you have a better month! Don't be afraid of the scale, because no matter what it says, you are going to conquer it! :

FickleHearts, yay on the NSV! Good job with the walking!

PrairieQueen, wow! Pre-TOM messing with your scale and mood, cold symptoms making you feel yucky, and only half of your lunch surviving, and you're still a 9/10! Now, that's commitment!

I'm feeling upbeat! I ate well and got my exercise in, so it was a good day!
