Ha. just checked. Sodium intake through the roof. Gotta get that one in check!!

My problem with pizza is that I can't not eat HEAPS!

@gen, you'll be water retaining, but also your muscles will be filling up with lecithin (I think?) and while you're not getting fatter, you're getting a bit heavier. When we diet our muscles get depleted of this stuff and we put it back on once we eat normally again. It's actually good stuff!

Gym again, did a bit of shoulders, ran 3k (22min) and did balance (yoga). About to make a mega sammich!

That's what I do, send them to work with my husband!!! GET RID OF IT! :P

Had fish and chips for dinner, probably made goal or maintenance but not over.

Hi ladies!

You are so great with encouragement, all of you. Thank you very much. I'm very relieved that the scale moved back down 0.6lbs this morning. It better had too hahahah!

Yeah sending cookies off to work is a great idea. That's what I did with my chocolate-chips-banana-cake last time I definitively CHOSE who had a piece though. It's too delicious to lose to crappy people :P

So today should be good too. Although the kids and husband talked about ordering tonight... dammit. lol

Have a great day everyone!

Hello ladies!! After doing daily weigh-ins and hitting the scale with almost maintenance almost a month ago, August 17 ( as I keep a daily log of my scale readings), up again 4 freakn lbs. The scale is not budging this week and took two rest days (Tuesday and Wednesday) after 3 weeks of consistent workouts as I am recovering from R knee microfracture surgery. Rosie is so freakn frustrated but I just need to let it go and refocus. Honestly, it is frustrating when you have your scale reading and a week later unbelievable the number is 2-3 lbs high. Consistency is the key and dinner will be green smoothies until the scale starts moving. I did cheat today with two pieces of bread as I am eliminating carbs with hoping the scale moves...

Ashley--feel better soon, and good luck with weigh in!

98bikini--sorry about your scale increase. I had a similar thing a few weeks ago, and someone pointed out to me that I would have to be thousands of calories over for that to be real! So sometimes various factors cause our weight to fluctuate--it will come back down, just don't let it cause you to fall off the wagon! Maybe your two days of rest caused you to retain some water or something. For me, it did come back down (though not all the way--I was eating too much, just not 1000s of calories too much!). Hang in there--give it more time to see what's really going on.

So, I am going away this weekend and will be definitely taking in extra calories. I probably won't check in again till Monday. I weighed myself this morning and was maintenance, which is so frustrating cuz I have been under calories all week. I still can't get past this 130 plateau. My ankle has been a little sore for days, but it is mild. I think I am going to run this morning cuz I really need to with the weekend coming up--I hope that's not a mistake!

Someone just challenge me to get two workouts one in the am and another pm. No cardio mainly strength training DVDs. Let's see what happens!

Ate a little too much today but I mostly shoved the extra to tomorrow... shouldn't be over for the week if I can keep on track one more day. Also I need to make a point of checking in every day, I've been feeling lazy lately. And actually read the thread beyond skimming... in the meantime good luck everyone

So... I fell down the stairs!!! Hurt my back, fun fun fun times!
Guess I'll soldier on and see if I can keep to goal for a few days.

Lumber sprain So stretched or tore the ligaments in my lower back
Codine for the win!
