Im trying to be extra good leading up to going away for 4 nights where there will be alot of drinking lol
Just watch what you drink. Lite beer or if you can make your own I like to make a WW marguerita. Crystal Light lemonade, tequila with a squirt of lime juice. Sometimes I just drink CL lemonade with vodka. Just stay away from all those high cal drinks. Good luck.
I drink spirits mixed with either diet coke or deit lemonade or wine
Good choices!0 -

Struggles: I was only able to get one run in this week and one bike ride
Successes: Even though I wasn't able to exercise as much as I wanted I still was able to lose weight! I was mindful of my calories!
That is awesome. Just think how this week will be with more exercise hopefully. Great start.
You have done so well to lose 64 lbs! WTG0 -

You are doing great. At least you are not giving up and it was a loss. You have done great losing almost 70 lbs. remember it is a lifestyle not a diet. WTG1 -

Thanks and you are right, marathon not a sprint. I think coming to the realization that my GW is likely going to have to shift to 128-130 in the last couple of days is just stressing me out. Onward though, will get 6k in tonight!1 -
@JessicaMcB - how tall are you? I am 5'2" and my original goal weight was 129. But when I got to that weight, it was ok but I decided I wanted to be 119. It took me a year but I got down to 115. I don't know if I can stay here or not but so far so good.
Good luck.1 -
@vicky1947mfp I'm 5'9" so 128 is the bottom of the BMI range for me. Stressful to think that might still not be enough post-kids but it is what it is0

That sounds very skinny to me at 5'9". What does your doctor say? That is a good weight for me at 5'2". But you know your body best.0

Well ok
Cw 149.9 on 7/8
Gw 147 on 7/29
Steady pound per week. Was tempted to go for 145, but no, let's be conservative. 145 would be a bonus.

@vicky1947mfp he seems ambivalent as long as I stay in range (which ends at 128). I think I still look pretty thick for 144- damn you straight shape!Post-6K run tonight so extra attractive but definitely could stand to lose more

You look great to me but I understand how those numbers on the scale can mess with us. That is like me wanting to see if I could get in the 1teens. Now I am tempted to see if I can lose 50 lbs even. Ha that would be another 3 lbs. but it would be so hard for me to stay there.
You are doing great for having 3 babies in 4 yrs. I know it is hard to find time to shower let alone planning and eating right. Love those babies though! I only had two!1 -
