Good morning IP friends!
Just plugging along 100% OP. Planning for a week long vacation100% OP, trying to get everything packed. I know from others here who have successfully done vacation that being prepared is the key to staying OP. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Good luck to all with WI today, I hope it's a great WI for you all!
Well not starting my 30 till Mother's Day on the right foot. Had a very unplanned Sunday, totally of my own doing, and gained 2# on my WI last night. At least my scale is back down this morning. I have many events in the next few weeks and I WILL plan ahead and make sure I stay OP. I will keep my eye on the prize. NO LONGER BEING OVERWEIGHT.. .
I came to work early to get stuff done, and where am I? Just poppin in to 3FC.... sheesh! I need a 12 step programme for y'all
Have a good day tho'! Look forward to catching up with you when the madness of the day is done and it's the wee hours before midnight. 100% OP... but it's only 8:00! LOl
So all those cloths that have been in the back of my closet for the last year because they were just to small are now moving up to the front and there is a pile on the floor that are just to big that is getting bigger yeah!
sc1661cl - BEST....FEELING.....EVER! Keep it up and you'll be at goal in no time!
Nolawhodatchick - I'm right there with you. We can do it! I plan on staying OP while I'm gone! We leave next wednesday. I've already made an order from Nashua and had it shipped to where I'll be staying. All I really have to worry about is getting in my veggies. They are in a rural area, so the selection is pretty limited. I might be eating a lot of steamed broccoli! My biggest hurdle is putting aside my feelings of "inconveniencing" people with my food requests. I think I might also pick up some RTD's from walmart when we land just to have another back-up! I'm guessing I might have to replace a couple of my protein meals with a couple shakes. It just depends on where we are and what my options are at that time! I would much rather be prepared with the extra drinks than go completely off plan. Wishing you the best of luck on your trip!

It's definitely a great feeling fitting into clothes again. Yesterday I had a sales rep show up at work who hadn't seen me in a month and he noticed my weight loss....said I was fading away to nothing. Not that I need outside attention to boost my motivation but it gave me a boost. Feels good when other people besides my DH notice (he's always been extremely complimentary).
Today a total stranger approached me while I was getting on the train (I commute into the city for work) and told me I look amazing, that she's wanted to tell me forever and that I'm an inspiration. Well, blow me over with a feather, it was so sweet and unexpected, a great way to start the day! Especially since this has been an almost no loss week for me thanks to TOM. Sigh. I liked him better when he didn't show up for a year or more!!

That's great!!!
I can feel you about the no loss week - my body is teasing me something awful. THISCLOSE to goal and I clocked in a 0.4lb loss today! Also have some C issues so I know where the weight is, but it was definitely a *shake-fists-at-the-heavens* moment

I'm having one of those moments every other WI for the last month or so
The NOLA King cakes are starting to arrive at the office. Trying to be strong. I don't chew gum often but this morning I'm hoping it will help me. have a great Wednesday everyone.
