Hi Turtles,
Well, I'm almost back to normal getting things done around the house, etc.
So good to see this thread hopping. We are doing great. We can do this together!!!
Taylor, I am so glad the wedding was so good. Glad you had a great time and figured out the food. Weigh to go.
Terri, bowel infection-----I am so sorry that happened. I hope the antibiotics can knock the infection out and you won't have to worry any further.

: Feel better soon.
Cherry, 24# down is wonderful! I don't care when you lost them. Those pounds are gone. Weigh to go. And another good WI is wonderful.

: I admire you knocking off your pounds while juggling such a young family. You go girl!
Life4evr, You're doing great. Good to be OP and feeling good about yourself.
I noticed that your parents volunteered to hide the snacks in the house. Well, I'm going to butt right in and say let them do it! Right now my dh is riding around with our household jar of peanut butter that I need for my dgrandson in his car!!!! No kidding/ He works a couple of nights a week and I found that when he was gone I was helping myself to peanut butter which is yummy and good for you, but very high in calories! So, he was willing to get it out of the house for me. I take help wherever I can get it.
Lots2go, sorry about your gain. FYI, like Princess, I never counted in and ate my activity points. I just think they let me lose a little better. However, I never exercised as much as you do. You rock! 11miles Wow!!!

Keep up the good work. And good luck on your next WI.
Princess, great news about your dh. I am so glad he didn't need the stent and that he did very well with the procedure.

: Now he can relax a bit and think about how he wants to improve his health. Having you both on the same page will be a huge help.
Bandit, how are you doing? Are you still with TOPS?

:
I've done well. Yesterday my family and I went to dinner. I had small portions, and was fine with that. I had a house salad, a piece of chicken marsala and about 5 forksful of linguine with a marinara sauce. I was full enough and then my dd made lattes at home for us and we had angelfood cake for my

cake. Yum. I was going to have a delicious butter frosting on cake, but having overindulged a bit out at Montauk I didn't want to whammy up my weight this week. Losing only a pound a week, I don't want to have a setback where I have to re-lose the same pound over and over. I know you all know how I feel. Soooooooooooo, it made more sense to have a cake I could deal with and still feel like a celebration.
You guys are the best. I love this support. I'll chime in with a WI onFriday and join you all on that site too.
Have a great day and keep on keepin' on!!!!!
