    Hello everyone. I have been off line for a few days. There was an electrical fire in my neighborhood and we were without power for a few days. I am afraid that wasn't good for my weight loss progress. Between not being able to track my food and the all the barbecues with out neighbors, my clothes don't feel so loose anymore.

    Happy Memorial Day weekend all...Hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday. I had my salad last night and again today for lunch. I may have another one at dinner with my grilled venison burger instead of the fries I am making for hubby and kids. I made it to the gym today, had lunch with a friend for my birthday (I really milked my birthday this year) and got in some shopping to redeem all of my freebie coupons. I love those shopping trips. See y'all Monday.

    Jack...Hope you have a great vacation.

    OMGosh.....what a wonderful Memorial Day Week-end.....Family wise anyway....not eating or exercise wise!!!! It was so bad, I was afraid to weigh in. OM MY!!!!! We were on the motorcycles all day on Saturday so ate yummy food......and then sat......Then yesterday the "boys" all went fishing and I did get a little exercise by mowing the yard! HA HA HA.....But then had a wonderful bar-be-Que last night! WOW!!!!

    Anyway.....Back on the wagon today. I don't want to gain everything back. So here we go...... Hope everyone has a great "short" week!

    Hello everyone!! It has been quite sometime since I have been on this group. I have failed miserably at keeping the weight off. I got on the scales this morning and I was not pleased at what I saw. I have gained all of the 52 pounds back plus 1.6 pounds. No more, I am sick of being fat. I am back on this thing and I will do it no matter what life throws my way, or what happens. I will not let things get to me, I am sick of doing that. I am BACK, and I am here to stay until I lose all the weight I want to lose. I can do it, I know I can, I lost 52 pounds before using this site and I can and will do it again!!! I can do all things thru Christ which strengtheneth me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Good Tuesday afternoon all...I had a good weekend but didn't get to celebrate the holiday too much. It rained here all day yesterday. We had a family cookout planned but it got cancelled. I got my jog in this morning. I have missed a couple of weeks except for here and there and it is a little like starting over. I will jog 2 more days this week at least and make it to the gym two days. That is my challenge AND DRINKING ENOUGH WATER!!! That is a constant for me. I don't know why it is so hard to realize that my body needs water. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

    Laura...Good to see you back!

    Hello all...I've been very busy trying to get ready for the beach. I'm soooo ready mentally, still not physically ready as far as the bathing suit but oh well, I'm going to wear one anyway!!! I have missed doing the Nautilus machines at the gym and have lost a couple of pounds. I'm sure I'm losing my muscle. I have got to get back but it is harder for me in the summer, so many extra things to do. I plan to get in a lot of biking and kayaking at the beach so hopefully that will help. Everyone have a great day!

    Good afternoon all! Hope everyone is having a great week. I am getting better. I was not happy with myself the beginning of the week for making such rotten choices over the week-end. Have a feeling I will pay for them for a while but I am getting back on track and have been getting my exercise and water in every day! Just have to stay away from the ice cream and all the sweets!!!

    Hope everyone is doing well!

    I am not happy with myself either. Bad week. Too much sodium, too much food, too much alcohol. And this weekend is full of events. I feel like staying home - but that will make me feel worse. I just need to find some motivation to make god choices.
    Usually I lose during the week and gain it back on the weekend. Have to turn it around this weekend or I will gain more back.
    The bigger I get the more depressed I feel. The more depressed I feel the more I want to eat and drink. Must get off the hamster wheel.

    Wish me luck!

    I am soooooo with you on this. I am on the same wheel!!!! I was so upset with myself all week. I think I am pulling out of it though! I HOPE!!! Went to Curves last night, and then went for a walk as well. As I suspected it is TOM time!! YUCK! But I have GOT to quit using that as an excuse. It is convenient and I need to get away from it. I need to find something to change up my routine a bit I think. My hubby and I have talked about playing tennis at night. Neither of us are really good, but running around the court would do me some good....so I think that is going to be a plan for at least 3 nights a week!

    Hope you have a better week-end!!!!

    Okay so here I go.......This is the beginning of a new week, and a great opportunity to start a new!!!!! I saw this bulletin on a local church about "Failure is only the opportunity to start a new journey with a better plan!" Well that is me this week. I did step on the scale this morning and it wasn't good. Not as bad as I was afraid after the last two weeks, but.....it was 3 lbs higher.. YUCK>>>>>and I refuse to sit idly by and accept it. So.....here we go. I am going to log every day, make smart food decisions, and exercise everyday. Here is my plan: Log what I am eating in the morning, then as far as exercise... Curves every night, M-W-F walk my 2 miles, T-TH work out on the Wii, Then Saturday....Have fun but still make smart food choices..... :) So, now that I have made my plan public.....I need you all to hold me accountable!!!!

    Okay so now I feel better. I am off to finish my housework for the day. Talk to you all tomorrow to check in!

    Well I am back on the grid. Been stuck in a log cabin in Minnesota for a week with internet so slow, anything beyond checking email was a huge hassel. My diet has been terrible but I have been working on the cabin for about 15 hours a day (cabin looks great), so I didn't gain any weight.

    Now the bad news, my 94 year old grandfather fell and broke his hip a week ago and then died from complications a few days after the surgery. Funeral is tomorrow, to make things worse, a tornado hit about a quarter mile away from where my grandparents live, (google dwight, ill to read about it.

    Send me your weight ins, I should be able to get the chart updated by tomorrow evening.

    Happy Sunday all...I helped my aunt move yesterday. It was a 2 hour drive to her house and then a 3 hour drive to her new place. It was a terribly long and hard day but we got it done. I ate at McDonald's for lunch and dinner but I think I burned it off on the 112th trip up the stairs of the historic Victorian house she was living in. I am sore and extremely tired today but I got a good nap. It is very hot here, about 94. We won't have our new pool up until we get back from the beach so I am hiding from the heat. I will be packing M, T and W this week and leaving Th. I will do my very best to log and exercise but I can't promise anything. Hope you all have a great ending to your weekend. Talk to you soon.

    True to my word so far......I have completed my food log for today up to dinner. I have about 450 calories for dinner. Any suggestions? That doesn't include the exercise for today though....which should add about 400 -450 more. It is suppose to be 105 here today!!!! EGADS!!!! My walk may happen at midnight when it cools down!! :laugh:

    Here is to everyone having a great week!:drinker:
