    Weigh-in this morning was 127 - I'm down 1.5 from last week. So, 3.5 to go in less than 2 weeks, I may not make the goal, but I'm really going to try. If not, I'll take whatever loss I can get - I really just want to be down ~5 lbs from this week's weigh-in by Thanksgiving.

    Headed to the in-laws for the weekend - next week's weigh-in could be bad! :noway:

    I am back on board and finally checked the weight yesterday. I also got a free gym membership as a perk of my hubby's job. Now there is no excuse b/c I can bring the kids right after work. I look forward to staying in my boundaries and dropping the "extra baggage". I worked too dang hard to reach my goal, only to go right back to the eating habits I had!
    suckitup... That's terrific about the gym membership! Don't let it go to waste!
    10/19/10 215.0 REALLY? :laugh: Good God! AND I worked out all but ONE day! I'm hoping its mostly the sodium retaining all the water weight! Oh well...it was a fabulous vacation! 10 days in the Caribbean....wish I could be there 100 more!
    kintegra... Probably is the sodium. I was up 2 lbs today from yesterday, and I was like, what caused this? But I had some salty peanuts and soy sauce yesterday, and I figure it's gotta be that. No worries. You'll probably come back down really quickly.

    MrsHazra... You've been doing great while you've been away!

    sjyates... Good luck at the in-laws. Just remember that you have to come back here and post the news, good or bad! :tongue:

    That sucks big time. I would never have even made it past noon without my husband knowing i would so mention it to him but then for some reason im like that. last birthday i was going to not mention it to him and see if he would remember then i blew it because i was talking about not being able to party for my 21st lol because i was prego : ) so ya i would mention it,

    Thanks for the birthday wishes. I finally just sent him a text. He had texted me earlier in the day asking how everyone was.Problem with that is if I am not leaving the house my phone is usually in the office with the door closed and I did not hear it but after he came home he mentioned that he had texted me. So I replied everyone was fine except the wife might be feeling a little neglected because her husband forgot her birthday. We really never do anything for birthdays during the work week, but it would have been nice to not have to remind him. Nothing like being taken for granted.

    Needless to say my weight was back up to 182 this morning. I got to learn not to over eat when I am stressed or mad. I am sure it was not the wine.

    Have a great day.

    Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you yesterday, Terri! :flowerforyou: Mine is today....so far CJ has not remembered. However I'm letting him slide for now since he's at court this morning, then a funeral. Unfortunately since his morning is tied up he will be working this evening, so no date for me on my bday. :cry: :ohwell: He's off Saturday night though & mentioned taking me to some Bob & Tom show thing. :happy:

    So what did hubby say when you texted him about your bday?? :embarassed:

    Thanks Robin for your beautiful music! And Tina thanks to you as well....my coworker took me out to lunch! :bigsmile: Still no word from CJ OR my SISTER! :laugh:

    On another note -- I had 2 - YES TWO - bagels from Panera this morning! I'm SOOOOO over my calories for the day now! :blushing: :embarassed: :laugh: Oh well....I don't care today! I'm apparently still doing ok because all my girls at water aerobics asked me how much more I'd lost last night - laughed my butt off and told them I GAINED 8 lbs on my cruise! :laugh: (I've lost 5 of it already since Tuesday) Plus my size 14 jeans fit me perfect today & according to one of my coworkers I look smokin! :smokin: :blushing:

    Hello everyone,

    I have been in and out of this challenge many times, but lately I have been so busy with life that I have not even logged in for quite a few months. I would like to rejoin and I will try to keep at it. I did so much better when I was logging in everyday, and the people in this group have always been so supportive and informative. I am giving myself a fresh start today because I figure that waiting for next month will just waste a week of good losing time. I hope that this time I will stick with it!

    As of today:

    151.4

    Terri & Kelly: Happy Birthday!

    Terri: My husband and I have been married 16 years, together for 21 years, and he still has trouble remembering exactly when my birthday is. However, the all time worst was my first Mother's Day. He didn't do anything or say anything. I fumed for 4 days before finally saying something. His response......"But you're not my mother".:huh: :explode: I didn't have to comment at all b/c HIS mother laid into him! :laugh: Therein lies the male logic. Luckily, my daughter is now old enough to remind him for me.
