    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? YES
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Stayed away from the heavy carb dinner and ate a salad and fruit
    What would I have done differently? Not eaten Mexican food for lunch!
    What is today's personal goals? More water - 64 oz today.

    lstpaul! It's been forever! Good to see you! (Not that I'm glad that WW didn't work for you but it's good to have you back). I was MIA until a couple weeks ago! I've lost 8 lbs in about 3 weeks. Vacationing in colorado for a month and husband and I are walking and treadmilling like crazy and watching what we eat! Both of us working together and away from normal life is working really well! Good luck to you on your journey!

    Welcome MWiggs & Molly to the group.:flowerforyou: Welcome back Istpaul. :happy: I am not surprised about the
    WW plan, I am sorry it didn't work, but I have heard too many people doing it and have failed.
    I think they have to revamp or something to get people to stay. I know I am a lifetime member
    and I don't want to go back either. I enjoy this post here and it makes me accountable. :bigsmile:
    I have been on MFP for 4 years now this month, and I plan on staying.

    Exercising has been a bust this week so far. I hope to get feeling better soon and get back at it.


    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? YES
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? YES
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Nothing special
    What would I have done differently? Exercised still dealing with my stomach but getting better.
    What is today's personal goals? Keep drinking water, focus and get back to exercise

    Mon - No exercise, stomach flu
    Tues - No exercise, stomach issues
