    I'm super excited but nervous too see if I had another loss in the morning. That loss last week was much needed after consistent gains. I'm finding it much harder to bounce back from having a baby in my 30s versus how I did in my 20s lol

    @BB_1033 But bounce back you will. It's the price you pay. Just about everything else about the second child is easier, old hat, been there done that. :smile:

    Exercise? Yes! Went for a walk.
    Tracked? Yes!
    Under budget? Only over by 73!

    I know I'm still over, but it's the closet I've been for a bit so I am counting it as a win.

    Hi team! Need to re-focus on my goal of eliminating sugar; it's been creeping back in the last 2 weeks here and there and my mood, energy level and skin are showing the ill effects! So I am going to log in here each day on how I did. My diary is always open to anyone, so that's good accountability for me too! The keys for me are remembering WHY I avoid sugar (it's poison to me and I am powerless against it-better not to eat any that a little) and being prepared with healthy snacks and meals that have plenty of protein and fat.

    if anyone else is interested in joining me on this no added sugar path or wants to chat about it, message me or friend me!

    here's my article! This pretty much encapsulates why getting rid of added sugars it the best thing for ME. I feel pretty foggy and tired after indulging this weekend!

    Good morning! I'm joining you on the no sugar challenge, @Keepingtrack1234! Thanks for sharing that article. Going to read it now. The scale revealed the awful truth to me today that I've allowed horrible habits back into my life. Threw away the junk bought for the Labor Day weekend and the mini-vacay we just returned from. Ugh!! Up over 4 pounds because of my thoughtless eating.

    Today we’re looking for weigh-ins from:

    @12sarah2015 - nice loss!! :star:

    The article I liked I couldn't figure out how to share on the thread haha. But it is titled "Is Inflammation Sabotaging Your Weight Loss" it's exactly what I'm currently battling now.

    Welp, up 4.3 today. I'm sure some might be retaining water weight from high sodium restaurant food, but I'm sure it's also from not eating as thoughtfully as I should have. Threw away the junk that still remained and getting groceries to keep me on track this week. So disheartening to see this but it is what it is and I'm pulling myself up out of the depressing thoughts I'm having about myself this morning and will begin again this morning to eat the way I need to in order to reach the goals I want to! Hope you all have a great day!

    @BonnieHosk85
    YOU got this, you already have plan in place. Just remember how you felt this morning as you go through the week. Don't get back not the scale until next Monday, your body will be adjusting all week, I don't want you to get discouraged. Wait till Monday

    Thanks, @matthewsfive. Cried some tears of grief for what I've lost, but I'm okay now and on the right path for a good weigh-in on Saturday. Good advice about the scale until then!! <3
