    Welcome Bella! At home non supporters are hard to deal with. my fiance like to eat out ask the time and the other day he made me brownies from scratch. which is a great gesture and those are my weakness. But it doesn't help with my long term goals.

    Kelly - be period for what you have already accomplished! Be seeing to keep going. I did a happy dance for you. keep up the great work!

    Weigh in day for me! Didn't lose any weight but I also didn't gain Abby. I was a littLe lose with my food choices this week but viable on track this week and I'm going to see the scale move down.

    I'm going to feel guilty by the end of the night. Definitely going over on my calories today. I never eat the extra calories exercise gives me, but tonight I definitely have. Went to dinner with friends and ate too much. I need to be very careful tomorrow, we'll probably be taking a friend to lunch, and our apt. office is doing a remodel reveal with "nibbles and drinks". And then on Saturday I have a baby shower and a birthday party to go to. I'm hoping the restaurant tomorrow has a small salad, and I'm hoping the office event has veggies and fruit, and hoping the baby shower has fruits/veggies, and *really* hoping the b-day party has fruits and veggies.
    I was hoping to be at 165 by the weekend, but I think I'll be lucky if I go below my weigh in today at 168.8. We'll see.

    Rayw89-I think your pretty safe at the restaurant, they should have salad, maybe get one with grilled chicken in it, or soup with your salad. If you only have a small salad you might be hungry for the office party. You could tell person, who is getting food, to get a vegetable plate. I use to be the one who organized functions at work and I would have listened, if it was reasonable. Sometimes its not as bad as we think it is going to be.

    Yeah I think my safest outing will be the restaurant. Luckily it's just a minute down the street from me if we do go, so a salad will be fine. Though I don't eat meat. I'll probably have oatmeal for breakfast so that should stick a little. :)
    I'd be surprised if there isn't a veggie tray at the baby shower, those seem to be a staple at certain events, so fingers crossed. The good thing about not eating meat is that most foods other people serve are off-limits, so it makes it easy not to indulge. :) If the office event doesn't have anything healthy I just won't stay long. And I just remembered, I'll probably be faced with cake at the b-day party. Hmmm.

    Sounds like you have a plan, good luck, you can always say no thank you, or take a small piece of cake and incorporate into your calories, for the day. Enjoy all your upcoming functions!

    Thank you! Happily I didn't go over my calories today, just ended up eating my "extra" calories from exercise.

    Every body is doing it doing it doing it. I like when people do the happy dance. I can join you this week. Not a big loss but down a lb at tops last night. 1 lb a week adds up to pretty good. Going to get rid of the pea soup today. That is slowing me down. Going to replace it with a good veg. soup.
    Cold again this morning it's so cold I hate leaving the house. -37 even the ravens haven't been over for there food the last few days.
    I forgot to bring John the pea soup last night. But i'm not eating anymore of it. I'll put it in a container and freeze it until I find someone who wants it. Way to many calories and carbs in a bowl hardly worth it.
    I made two blueberry pies and these are blueberries I picked myself. And two Chocolate cream pies. The grandkids liked those. All I had was a very tiny piece probably less than I put in my journal. But sooner be over than under. Don't want to cheat myself.
    Well now it's on to a good day.

    See you all lighter
    Linda in the cold cold Northern Ontario -37.

    Ray, hold steady on your choices and you will be fine! Make sure to either eat something healthy before, or take something with you in case all the choices are bad ones at your events. You can do it!

    Erica - welcome to the party! The Easter challenge will be over in a few weeks, but we will be immediately starting one for July 4th, so no worries!

    My check-in day is Wednesday at Curves, and I lost two pounds last week! So happy to see that number!

    Have a great Thursday, and let's all be losers today :)

    "You won't fail if you're not perfect, you'll fail if you're not committed to improving yourself slightly each day"

    I love this quote. After returning two weeks from vacation, I had gained 2.5 pounds and was back to my pre-vacation weight last week, but after Chinese food at my MIL, a baby shower with cake on Saturday, and Thai food with my daughter over the weekened, I have "only" maintained this week. Oh did I mention the Hersheys kisses that have been calling my name every night this week (not just one). Though I should not expect a loss, I am satisfied that I haven't gained. I was excellent with my activity while on vacation but haven't done a thing since getting back home. I know I may/may not make my goal of 20 by Easter (about 14 to go) I'm back in the saddle again. I've been telling myself this all week, but now that I'm putting it in writing, it will make it so, right?

    Looking forward to a good day. Today starts midterms for me and I am stressed. Trying to stay as relaxed as possible but can't be to relaxed or I won't study. I'm going to focus on getting through this without over eating. I will be very happy to maintain weight butt my goal us to still loser. I'm such an awful stress Easter. This is just another hurdle to get over :) everyone stay warm and keep losing! Off to class now. I'll catch you all later!
