    @HASWLRS - Enjoy your time on break :) Life's too short not to enjoy time with friends and family <3

    @knlizght - Instead of restricting your self on your vacation, what about smaller portions and still enjoy what others are eating? For snacks can you take cut up veggies, or maybe hard boiled eggs...Skinny pop popcorn? Pinterest is my best friend when trying to find suggestions for food ideas. I hope you have a great time away!

    I think this is great advice for both of them!

    Ugh I’m sorry about the gain. My exercise picked up this week and that is usually when I have the biggest gain. I am sticking with it though. I feel really healthy and less stressed and my jeans fit better!!! See you in October. My sister is joining us next month. So grateful for this group!

    Weigh In Week: Sept- week 4
    Weigh in day: Friday
    Previous Week's weight: 168.0
    Todays Weight: 166.5

    Sept Week 1: 167.5
    Sept Week 2: 169.5
    Sept Week 3: 168.0
    Sept Week 4: 166.5

    A lot of up and down this month, but ending the month down overall. Last month around my birthday I told my family I wanted to exercise everyday for the last 100 days of the year, and that started on Wed. It kind of snuck up on me, especially since I've barely exercised this month. But so far so good, 3/100 so far. I'm hoping to be more active here next month. Next week my 3rd grade starts in person school 5 days a week, then the following week my 5th grader will start. They're so excited for things to get back to "normal" but I'm still a little worried.

    @loraloha22
    You still have ended September with an outstanding loss. It really is more about taking care of yourself, and feeling great than the number on the scale. The weight will go away when it is ready. I see a lot of members who will go up when working harder and then see a big whoosh.

    Hi, guys. I have bitten off more than I can chew.... Having an early Thanksgiving dinner at my house on Sunday and stressing a lot. Plus, we made plans tomorrow night to go out to dinner with friends!!! I am taking this week off (way off!!). Please transfer my weight over on Saturday, and I will see you all back here on Monday.

    Enjoy your time with friends and family. I transferred your weight over. See you in the october thread! @HASWLRS

    Good morning TBBT. Despite starting the week off well(meal prepping, exercising, etc.), my week went downhill pretty quickly. I caved to all types of carbs(cookies, cake, etc.) and pretty much am facing the music with a gain above where I started for the month. I didn't enter my weigh in on Friday, but my weight was 166.9, 169.4 this morning... Yikes! Adding all those carbs was definitely going to cause some water weight gain-I've been pretty strict without many carbs for over two months.

    I have gotten much more sleep this week(I am feeling a bit better now), but I kind of "shut off" from here for a few days... I start my vacation on Wednesday, after I get out of work. We have the car packed up already, before we head down to my boyfriends uncles house. I have prepped my meals for work for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, as well as picked up healthier snacks(cheese sticks, beef stick, strawberries and raspberries, and will be making sandwiches) for my drive down. I do not plan on starting back on keto until after we get back, so I am expecting my weight to probably be up for the next week or two.

    I have been following your posts while I've been a bit quiet. You have all been doing great! :)

    @mooreshelly09 I am super excited for you! You have had a very successful month in the group! You have lost over ten pounds this month, and have been a total rock star! Keep up the great work! :)

    @DaffyGirl88 I am so happy for you and your losses this month! You have been doing great! Keep up the great work as you reach new milestones! :)

    @erikNJ I am so happy you were able to end the month with a loss! You will continue to see losses, just keep making small changes, and you've got this!

    @loraloha22 Please don't stress gaining at the end of a successful month! You managed to lose over four pounds, and have done an amazing job remaining accountable! Keep up the great work!

    @thedestar I am so happy for your loss this month! The scale is definitely heading in the right direction! Keep up the great work! I love your exercise goal for the remainder of the year! You can do it! :)

    @murdog3t you have had a really great month despite some not-so-great things happening! You are an inspiration to the group, overcoming so much! I am wishing you the best, and am looking forward to another successful month for you! :)

    @richmondwriter Sorry you had a bad day yesterday! I hope your day is better today, and you can get right back on track! We all have them! :)
