    A wedding cake, a groom's cake in the shape of a football stadium, and 12 dozen cupcakes have been baked and decorated. I haven't slept in 2 days lol. I'm afraid weigh in tomorrow is probably gonna be a gain for the week. Too many convenience foods have been consumed due to being so busy coupled with the fact that I haven't gotten out and walked. We also have people staying with us so that makes it harder as well. Can't go back and change it so I'm gonna move forward and get back on plan. Hope everyone is well.

    I am not adventurous when it comes to eating .... I am a very picky eater (really bad as a kid) ... I tried Duck once and it was very rubber-y ( I have a texture problem)

    You are very busy. Don’t worry if you do have a small gain as things will be back to normal next week.

    Sometimes maintaining is a good thing. You have been sick this week so I think things will start moving down once you feel better.

    The strangest thing I have ever eaten is frog legs. It was very different. I can’t say I didn’t like it but it is not something I would eat every day.

    Eh I had a feeling I would be the same or a little over.
    Not going to stress or be upset about it. My eating wasn't great with the weekend and Monday, so it makes sense.
    Gotta find ways to do better than the week before.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend!

    Still up from last weeks huge gain but going back down. I’m sorry I haven’t been on. I feel like I’m letting you all down but things have been absolutely nuts here at home. I’m always tired I’m always busy running around. I’m looking forward to a bit of normalcy soon and being able to give more time to my amazing team. 🥰

    Hi guys

    This month I have been distracted and I haven’t been active on here as much as I would have liked. My weight is going down slowly 70.7 kgs yesterday and today. I hope next month I can focus more on participation with the daily chats 🤗

    Friday’s check in
    Calories: under
    Exercise: none
    Water:✅
    Steps: 4,231
    DBF: 4

    I added another item to my check in. DBF for days binge free. I am hoping this encourages me to keep it up. Last night was a bit rough as I kept going to the kitchen but I stayed strong. I can do this!

    Happy Saturday! I hope you all are having a great weekend.

    Daily goals
    1. No late night snacking/binge eating

    I was hoping the gain wouldn't be this bad but I'm not surprised I guess. The wedding is today, company leaves Monday, and then life will go back to normal. Determined to have a nice loss next week! Have a great day everyone

    Saturday -- Weigh-In
    PW 291.4
    CW 291.2 - Loss 0.2

    Steps -- not sure when I last reported this week. However, have done at least my 3000 steps each day; many days much more, just not tracking.

    Been super busy week. Major time input for several volunteer efforts still dealing with Flooding issues -- food, shelter, clothing, misc household needs, etc.

    Next week should be back to "normal" ... whatever that word means these days ... and will be more in control of fixing my own food instead of having food provided. Thank Goodness!!
