Hey guys, Missing the thread! I am in TN and have no internet access. Jumped on my cousins PC to say HI! HOpe everyone is doing well. I am struggling and can't wait to get back so I can control my meals more. Hoping to not gain while I am here. Happy Memorial DAY!
I'm back and had a wonderful mini vacation. I swam every day for my exercise. Of course I had some really good food. I will get on the scale tomorrow. I'm sure I will have a gain. I will deal with it, though. I made some good choices and some not so good choices. The bad choices were the shared desserts and bread service that came with our dinners. Those evil carbs and don't forget about the evil sodium!
I would like to say that losing weight made a huge difference in my vacation. I really enjoyed myself wearing shorts, swimming, etc. It would not have been like this if I was 140+ pounds heavier. I felt so Blessed to be able to enjoy myself the way I did.
Jomolittlebumblebee and Veronica welcome to the board!
ShIshkaberry it is amazing that we dilly dally so much with weight loss. I was overweight for a decade or more and never tried to do anything about it. I found it too overwhelming and didn't see how I would control my cravings. But once I finally just did it, I am finding it fairly easy to do. My mind games were the hard part to overcome. Not the actual weight.
Iamerican breaks from normal routine is hard, but tomorrow is soon here!
Rachelj just remember, this is a lifestyle change and there will be times we don't have much control. So, it might take a wee longer for a few days thrown in off plan, but if this truly is a lifelong investment, that shouldn't be a big issue, right?
Vixsin celebrating your new low with you! Yay!!!
K9owner glad you were able to get away and relax.
Jomatho. We'll be seeing new pics soon, right?
Diana3271 so glad you had a great mini vacation. And you are so right. It's so much easier to enjoy in a smaller, fitter body.
hi everyone im new to this whole forum thing
for a start im lucy
im 15
weight- 15 stone 2 pound
height- 5ft 11nches
im just really unhappy about my weight and was wondering wether anyone had any advise for me thanks x
You're right berry... I flirted with the idea of losing weight before (and even joined a gym for a month) but it never really clicked before now. But I'm getting a little confidence from that because I feel so serious this time that losing the weight actually feels attainable. And with only a little bit of effort, I'm almost to my second mini goal already
I weighed in this morning at 147.2. So far, I've gained 3.4 pounds since my vacation. I say so far because sometimes it takes a couple days to catch up with me. I may go up a little more the next couple of days. We'll see what happens. I'm back on plan today. The good thing is that I'm still in my maintenance range.
Good Morning Everyone. Feels like a Monday. Didn't sleep well. Scale is mean. Nothing else to say. Ha, ha, no it's not that bad, but I am pretty tired today. Took a break from the board for a little over a day and it felt pretty good, no offense, I just felt like I was thinking about things too much. I feel better now, I think hormones are messing with me. No pictures yet, I have to actually get to the halfway mark before I take those. I saw 187.8 a couple days ago, but need to get to 187.4 to be halfway. Somehow, I am up two pounds from that point. I am holding water, I can feel it. It turned sweltering hot here last 2 days, I have eaten foods I don't normally eat and I am 10 days out from TOM. Last month I felt the exact same way 10 days out, I remember wondering if it could be PMS already. My girls are killing me, they bothered me with running yesterday. I know these are the reasons for being up a little, but it really ticks me off right now! Oh well, this too shall pass. Today I will run my 5 mile run to finish out my 90 miles for the month Hopefully be back later for some personals, but today has the potential to get away from me, so much to do and so little time. Love you all, and welome to all the newbies!
Now my FEZ no longer fits due to my swelled head 
Way to go!! I am cheering for you!! 
This is a very supportive and friendly group!!
We missed you. You have the right attitude when you fall off the horse, get back on.
