LOL Syckgirlsfv that's what I said this morning. I stepped on that scale so many times (BIG SIGH) why couldn't it be just another .4 down ... Maybe tomorrow plus some Enjoy your 4 day weekend and again HAPPY early ANNIVERSARY TO YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND ... just in case we don't get to chat tomorrow
thanks love2b! It's funny cuz I was having trouble finding DH a gift, especially in keeping with 8th anniversary (bronze or pottery), and then yesterday I found something I know he will LOVE! It's a fire pit! His thing is to sit out in the yard listening to music and having cocktails on the weekends at night...now he can sit next to his own fire pit. AND it's rubbed BRONZE I'm excited for him (and me ) but it doesn't arrive until next week, so I put a picture of it inside his card.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARYSyckgirlsfv and Hubby Enjoy your day
LilDazed, your body was really tired. I say when we have times like that we really needed the rest. I'll bet you feel great this morning. Nice weigh in
New low for me 157.2 very happy day
Happy Independence Day to Everyone who celebrates it Enjoy your day and don't eat too much I hope not to
Syckgirlsfv - late happy anniversary. Good job on 156.
Love2b150 - yay! You are doing great!
Lildazed - 156
Everyone is doing really great. Life put some challenges in front of me and I'm back up to 159. I haven't been around but I'm back on track today. I'm not giving up.
Wednesday - had neighbor kid tell me how his dad hurts his mom when he gets angry. Dad broke her bone. I stressed ate all day wondering if I should get involved.
Thursday- took kids to six flags. No healthy food there. But did lots of walking
Thursday middle of night - had sick kid probably too much excitement and junk from six flags
Friday - my body was just beat up from rides, heat and being up all night with sick kid.
Plus still waiting for Tom. Hoping most is water weight that maybe I only gained 1-2 pounds after this.
Hiddenstar, I would feel I'd want to get involved; but ultimately, I don't know what one can do. You can't force people to do something about a bad home situation. They have to be ready to do it themselves. I tried to help a friend like that and it ruined our friendship. However, I'd do it again because the guilt would have eaten me alive. But a neighbor, well, that could end up bad for you and then the people stay together. I am sure you're worried about the kid(s), but you don't have any information that he's hurting the children, too. If you did, then that would be different. I'd find someway to alert someone about that.
But to the topic, it's all too easy to allow things like that give way to stress eating. I'm not saying I've conquered all that, but I am going to refuse to allow that to happen. Life always happens and food doesn't curtail that. So far that's been enough to keep me from falling off the deep end after spats with husband, worries about job, fights with friends, lightning hitting house, etc. even when I thought I was going to use that as an excuse to, say, fall into a vat of pancake batter.
I saw 155.8 this morning, but I know it won't stay because I DRANK last night. DRANK! ugh. We rode 12 miles yesterday, stopping for pizza along the way, and then we went to Outback Steakhouse and I had their chicken caesar salad (only like 600 calories which isn't bad) but then we each had a mojito. Celebrating our anniversary at home next with a bottle of Kettle One, and we finished it. OH MY. LOL. I feel ok this morning because I drank recovery powder and coconut water, but I know their will be water gain.
However, we are heading out on a long ride today - 25 to 30 miles. So I will most likely sweat it off!
we'll see! hope everyone had a great 4th!

Thanks hiddenstar Glad to hear you aren't giving up and are back on track Oh my goodness. I have had friends like that and sometimes when you talk to them about it it does help and other times it has back fired and they get upset because you are beating up on there SO with words. I hope if you do talk with her that she has a level head and he doesn't hurt her more because she talked to you. There are so many things involved with domestic abuse, it's scary the triggers. I pray for your neighbors peace and well being, but she has to want it and be willing to see that there is better though it may not seem like it in the beginning. to you for having all of that in your head ... Hope your baby is feeling better. I had two get sick at Kings Dominion a few years back, no fun at all.
Mad Donnelly, you're going through/have gone through a bit also, I'm sorry to hear but it sounds like you do have your head above water and are thinking clear which is a victory in itself, be proud.
Syckgirlsfv, you are killing it GO YOU
My low was short lived as usual, but this time I am promising myself that I will not have an 8-9lb gain, like I did in June. I got down to a low of 158.2 (what is up with that ??8.2) and then went up to 167, not gonna allow that to happen. NOPE my son will not have a better weigh in than me on Monday Enjoyed the day with my children yesterday. I am up a pound and I think it may have been higher had I not slept 10hrs, whew I was tired. Ticker is wrong but I will be back there or lower by Monday
morning! not doing too badly...ate and drank a lot on the 4th, but only holding 2 pounds of water and scale says 158. I call that a win!
We rode 30 miles on our bikes yesterday! Stopped and had Fatburger on the way home...DELICIOUS. It has literally been YEARS since I've had Fatburger, and it was amazing. Burned 1200 calories, give or take a few, on that ride though. Tired us out and we fell asleep pretty early. Good day
'Bout to get ready for church, and DH is talking about making breakfast. I'll probably have what he makes, because he can make some mean eggs and potatoes!
I'm excited for him (and me 
) but it doesn't arrive until next week, so I put a picture of it inside his card. 
I hope not to
