    I feel sooo bad after this weekend. I am up to 172.8 :( This weekend was just to much for me to handle. It`s even worse because i was down to 170.4 on friday (can we count that??? ) Although now I`m pretty motivated to go hard and get back down.
    As far as house point, I got 5 for resisting the temptations, but only 2 for new exercise. So 7 total.

    I'll use whichever weight you want me to. I think that as long as your weigh-in is within a day or so of Sunday, it's fine - given all the vacations and parties this time of year. And don't worry - I bet you'll lose those 2 pounds very quickly. :)

    Well, another week down and another week closer to DH2, but sad to say my weigh-in this morning is not as happy. Gained 0.8 pounds (*ducks as books, rotten cabbage, and a duck flies by*). Yes I know, not a very good week apparently.

    The odd thing is I didn't think it was terrible, but there is always room for improvement. I did work out every night though and I even got outside and played frisbee (not fanged of course, but that would be wicked!) with the added difficulty of dodging puddles and playground equipment earning me 1 house point :D

    None of this is an excuse for the gain. I'm going to work harder still to drop it back off, but not kill myself over it. For me this is a journey and a long one at that, and a little gain for now is not going to deter me :)

    It looks like you all have been doing great though!! It's awesome to see all the 'new' things everyone has been able to do. I'll have to give some of them a try some time, for sure!

    Keep looking forward and "see" yourself in the theater watching DH2 in your new 280 pound body. :happy:

    Hmmm - I show you actually lost 1.2 pounds! My last weight for you (for the last 2 weeks) was 212.4.

    Great on more activity - that will help you burn through the calories!!

    Hey all!
    I couldn't get to a scale yesterday or today but I did weigh on Friday, does that count? If so, then CW: 125.4 :))))
    And I did very well with the short-circuit binge this week. I had this white-chocolate bunny from my Easter basket and every night after dinner I would break off a little piece and let it melt in my mouth. Most delicious treat ever :)

    Good morning everyone!!!
    Well - back to work (and I mean the weight loss work). This weekend was rough- mostly because I don't think I drank more than a cup of water each day!!! Soda has always been one of my downfalls and there was A LOT of soda this weekend:cry:
    Ava had some pretty rough nights so I didn't work out in the mornings like I'm used to either. I can't wait until these damn molars are in- seriously- I just want to sleep more than 45 minutes at a time!!!!

    OK- enough complaining. Its time to work!

    Good Morning Fellow Ravenclaws,

    I want to apologize for letting my team down this week by not weighing in. I had an extremely rough week in terms of eating healthy, sleeping right, and exercising. I gained a couple of pounds, putting me back at 150 and I really let that get to me. I pretty much let self control go and ate/drank whatever I wanted. After wallowing and pepping myself back up, I am determined to get back on track! I promise to do better for our team.

    DID YOU KNOW ?
    for the film, harry potter and the deathly hallows, over 500 wands were created. they are checked out and checked in before, during, and after the filming day is completed. many came back broken.

    DID YOU KNOW ?
    helena bonham carter was denied admission to king's college, cambridge university, not because of her grades or her test scores but because school officials were afraid that she would leave mid-term to pursue her acting career. because of cambridge's rejection, helena decided to concentrate fully on acting.
