I ended up with a 1.75 # gain. Amazing. I was expecting 3 to 4. I have no idea why it turned out so low. I was totally out of control. But I have to get it together. This week has to be better. I have been up and down the same weight for 3 months now. I won't get anywhere that way.
I have to go to work but wanted to stop by and say hello

Eleni,

I am glad that you didn't gain as much as you thought. That is your second chance to get that gain off and start fresh again. Glad to hear that you have a new attitude that you want to do better this week. I hear you about dealing with the same weight. I have been doing that also.

I did stay on plan yesterday and went to curves. But I think because I worked out last night that I didn't have a loss today. But I am heading in the right direction and I am still on track so that is a good thing. I am going to be looking for a turtle or a loss this week. I will be exstatic about a turtle .

Have a great day everyone.

Hello Ladies, Hope this friday is a good start of the weekend for everyone.

Eleni, I am so happy for you that the gain wasn't more. God was helping you out by giving you a nice surprise.....now, hopefully it will help you from continuing on the Cheeto craze. Afterall, orange fingers really aren't all that attractive....kind of like me with a black mouth from eating licorice. LOL Think of me as you do your laps in the pool. Wish I could be there with you. Haven't had the old swim suit out at all this year. We don't have a pool in our town anymore.

Sherri, glad you're back at Curves. Now stay on track with your eating and between the exercising and proper intake, you WILL lose. Oh, also get back to meetings and stay accountable!! I forgot to put a couple of things in your card, so you will be hearing from me again soon. [Poor kid, lol]

Nita, Thinking of you and your hubby. Please let us know how his test goes.

I'm doing OK.....Eleni, you'll be happy to know the ice cream is GONE.....and I must keep being 'good'. We all know things 'sneak' up on us. Going downtown soon and watch dd crown the new Boom Days Queen. She was it last year. It is a 3 day celebration of the old west/mining days for which this town of 5000 is well known. The town is sooooo busy with tourists. It's alot of fun, but also very crazy, so I won't be there too long this eve or tomorrow after the parade.

Have a great weekend all. Think of your portion sizes.......thank the good Lord for all the wonderful, healthy food we do have choices of and we will be fine.

Hey everyone, How are y'all doing? I have been gone a long time, just get busy doing other things and don't get on line very often. I have been struggling along with my weight, have had a loss the last few weeks, but not alot. Like Eleni, I have been staying about the same weight for nearly 3 1/2 months. I am now going to my water aerobics 3x a week for an hour, and that is helping. the good news for me is our chapter has gained 4 new members in JUly and last evening, 2 others came to observe, and may join next week. Since we only had 6 members, that will mean we have doubled our membership. It really helps to have new people come, as they bring that special enthusiasm with them. One new member was absent her first week, but returned the second week with an 8 pound loss, and she only had 14 to lose to goal!!! Another had 5 1/2 pound loss the first week. It was encouraging to me, and I am trying harder this week. I hope you are all doing well. A special Hi to Wendy, you always remember me, even when I have been absent for awhile... thanks. I hope Brandon is enjoying his summer. Mary ann
