    Way to go, Vanessa and Pixy!! Keep those numbers coming :) And Malia, Leanna, and all my other fellow losers who are fighting the good fight - hang in there!! We are going to get there and will have a better day, then a better week, and then a better month. One step at a time!

    8/8/14= 280.8 (+.8 lbs...sigh. After a week of vacation with lots of walking, it wasn't enough to offset too many indulgences)

    Weigh-ins are tricky. My scale gave up the ghost. I am going to try to get to Transitions once a week to for weigh-ins. I know for certain I will be weighed on 8/27 as I see my shrink that day.

    Weigh-ins will be on Wednesdays
    8/06/14 - 291.8 (+3.8) (what I get for not logging like I should)
    8/13/14 - 283.8 (-8.0) (I am quite proud of this number given where I have spent the last 10 days.)

    8/13 - 213.5 Oh hey!! I lost the 1.5 pounds I gained! I just realized that I recovered! Now to make some progress!

    Some nice losses here. Congrats Malia on going down down down, Leanna on a lovely recovery and Vanessa with your ongoing success!! :drinker:

    WOWZA!! I am so impressed with these numbers, Maelyn, Vanessa, Malia, Leanna, and all of our awesome losers!! Paula, way to keep it steady!! That is for sure a solid loss :) I'm playing the back and forth game, but I am going to get moving in the right direction again.

    You are using that "O" word, Leanna - owning our choices for better or worse is key!! :) And tomorrow is going to be a better day because we can choose to make it so!!

    LeAnna - I love that you're owning that gain. It's a hard thing to do, but I think really important to teaching us how to live healthy lifestyles for the long run.

    Maelyn - OMG! Look at you go!!!!

    Chuck - Awesome numbers!

    Everyone - Thanks for being so wonderful and inspiring!

    Way to go Vanessa, Maelyn, and Pixy for putting up some great numbers! And Leanna, I'm rowing that "Time to Own It" boat right alongside you this month. I often think on how I would get discouraged and give up in the past whenever I would see a small gain at the scale; all those small gains eventually added up to big gains, which is how I found myself at 379 lbs. a little over a year ago. As I told my doctor then, I think 35 years is enough time to have this monkey on my back; over the last year, I may have cuddled him occasionally, but for the most part I'm getting better and better at putting him back in his cage :wink:

    8/22/14= 282 (+.8 lbs. While I'm sure some is water weight due to too much salt, I think there's a healthy dose of complacency in there too - unacceptable! Summer's over for this teacher and it's most definitely time to get back to work ;)
