GRRRRRRRR lol back to the 313 battle dangit! lol Oh well, I am assuming it's still TOM related as TOM is making a slow and dramatic exit lol And I'm still being lazy and finding excuses not to excercise - but I actually did have a good one last night lol - 2 sick kiddos here, my daughter and my niece so I had to baby them

Thanks for the bday wishes!! Today's the day!! 49!! So all this year I will be marching towards 50!! Can't weigh and ate off plan the past 2 days...logged all my food....boy can I eat a lot!! Yikes...the scale is going to be painful tomorrow!! And no...none of it was worth it..just lack of self control. I have been exercising so that's good...going for the "my cup is half full" attitude here because my journey has never been "perfect"!! HA!!

Best wishes for an on-plan day...back on track for me!! It's the gift I am giving to myself because I am worth it!!!

5 weeks and 3 days to LOSE these lbs!!!!!

KC good for you for finding the right balance!
Antonia.. sometimes the fruit stalls us.. but sometimes its the type of fruit..
Pixikat!.. Losing that water weight and back in those 220's! Hope the class is going well
Jessie... Time to kick your keister... Keep going! Take it one day at a time!
Ali... Yep.. sometimes water weight creeps up - SALT is usually the culprit and sometimes we eat more than we think (I do sometimes!)

Our annual wine tasting festival is sat and I plan to go and taste wine, honestly probably nibble on a funnel cake or chili cheese fries (not that I'm dreaming of it LOL) so I guess I was fixing to yoyo anyway, have a great weekend everyone!!!

YAY Ali !!!!

Hi All

Had a great weekend in Nashville but I paid for it on the scales. HOWEVER today it is gone! Whoop!! So that is a good thing. Seems that birthdays do get in the way.

---anybody else wake up and not want to eat breakfast? I am not even hungry but I force myself to have an Atkins shake.....likely not enough. should i force myself to eat or try and make up for it later in the day?? Thoughts?? I know I have to eat to loose.....

Vacation, Birthdays and Tom.. They do mess up all our hard work don't they??!! But we get back in the saddle and move forward!

Me.. welll I had a BIGTIME Woosh of weight loss... It threw me for a loop as I did not expect this loss (I actually weighed a whole lb less 2 hours later.. but using that lower no for tomorrow as I will need the buffer doing dinner at Longhorn tonight - SALTY Parm Chicken and a salad)
