    WOW, what a week-end! I was afraid to get on the scale this morning......still 139, not bad considering all the great food we had over the last three days.

    This morning I started calorie cycling, thought I'd try something new to get past 139, today is a low cal day and high protien low carb (good thing after the high calorie week-end), but I have no idea what kind of snacks would work. So, if anyone would like to throw some ideas out there I'd be thankful.

    string cheese
    lowfat cottage cheese with blueberries
    pb on half an apple

    I am back. I was down to almost 173 on Saturday and after a bad eating day Sunday and Monday I am starting the month at 175 once again. Hopefully it is mostly water weight from the salty foods eaten this weekend. So here is the link for the June challenge. Hope everyone can meet up with us there!

    I have been yo-yoing in the mid 170's for a few months now. I need to get serious this month.

    Weekends have always been my week point. They mess up my routine. This month will be especially hard. One weekend we will be staying at a hotel. One weekend is a 2 day swim meet which means a lot of sitting around. I need to start planning a head so the weekends do not drag my hard effort all week down.

    See you on the June thread

    Congratulations to everyone on their weight losses in May!

    I didn't quite make my goal, but given that I've been struggling with motivation in the last few weeks, I'm happy with my 4.3 pounds! I am ready for a new start in June. I pushed myself out of bed this morning and went to the gym. I did Week 4, Day 2 of Couch to 10K and burned 508 calories. :happy:

    I've also changed my ultimate goal weight to a number that I think is more realistic given my body type and how I've looked at various weights in the past. That helped because it's not as far away.


    SW: 197.4
    5/1/10: 171.7
    5/10/10: 168.5
    5/17/10: 168.3
    5/24/10: 167.3
    5/31/10: 167.4
    GW for 5/31/10: 166
    Ultimate goal weight: 145

    May weight loss: 4.3
