Love this! I swear, I feel like I'm the one throwing the first stone in.
I weigh-in daily, log it, and am trying to log my food the evening before to make sure my food plan is ballpark within my allotted calorie range. Sometimes I'm tempted to weigh in more often. I don't give in to that desire any more, and when I do I know I'm getting too obsessed. Multiple weigh-ins per day, usually coupled with really obsessive calorie counting and checking my log many times per day, presage a fall from plan. I have tried to weigh in/be less strict about counting, and I try to get away with things and trick myself. Everyone has to find what works for them, and drives them the least crazy.
Steph, thanks! You should definitely sign up for your 5K, I'll cheer you on!
Shannon, sorry you're sick. Get thee to the doctor! There's lots of sickness going around right now.
I'm also fighting another cold but it hasn't been bad enough to keep me from work or my regular routine. I gave it to BF also. We've been trying to eat our vitamin C and get to bed at reasonable times.
Michele, thanks for getting me up to speed. I remember the rest about your DD but somehow missed the weight gain aspect. I'm sure the stress alone she's been through would cause her body to hold onto some extra weight, let alone medication side effects. Let us know the results of the tests, and yes, how is she doing with her new companion? I assume he visited with her for the holidays.
