    I haven't checked in because I haven't lost any weight! but I have lost some inches. I have been losing inches and I think I will lose weight by the end of the month. Have a prosperous day!

    March 1 - 181.6
    March 7 - 177.2
    March 14 - 175.8

    Already met 5 lb goal for this month so now I have to stay focused and motivated to stay on track the rest of the month. Would love to lose another 3 lbs. to help make up for losing NOTHING last month. :grumble:

    Hope everyone has a great week both in life and on the scales. :flowerforyou:

    So it looks like I am doing well

    Just catching up on everyone's progress. This time of year gets really crazy for me. The kids are done with swimming for a few weeks but that does not seem to lessen the schedule at all. I only got in 2 workouts last week and they were not very good ones.

    For those of you who feel like you are stuck in a rut I checked my weight loss diary and this time last year I was the exact same weight I am this morning. I lost 10 pounds early last year and then gained it back and now I am back to where I was last March. I need to stay focused this time and

    March 1 starting weight 179.
    March 8 weight 177.5 keep going.
    March 15 weight 177.4 down a .1 not great but its going the right way.

    Time to get ready for the daycare kids to show up.

    Have a great day!

    Totally fell off the wagon for a week or so...not tracking and being on vacation for a few days has bumped me up a few pounds :sad: but i'm recommitting today. I haven't worked this hard so far to give up and gain it all back!

    SO here's to fresh starts! I'm not even going to weigh in till next monday maybe I will have something to be excited about then.

    it seems like many of us are getting stuck this month! This is not fun but keep up the good work and do not give up. We all know from experience that ruts don't last forever we can and we will get through this!!!

    I'm up from 175 to 177 but I have found I've been in the range since surgery and I have not been eating well or at all sometimes. This morning I got back on track with my favorite breakfast, here's my "secret" I'm sure many of you may already know:

    High Protein Oatmeal

    I mix many flavors but my 2 favs are

    low sugar peaches n cream instant oatmeal
    1/4 cup quick oats
    1 scoop vanilla Muscle Milk
    1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
    add hot water to your preferred consistency, I like mine watery and if I'm in a rush to get out the door I will actually put it in a mug and drink it while driving to work LOL

    OR

    low sugar strawberries n cream instant oatmeal
    1/4 cup quick oats
    1 scoop Strawberry Muscle Milk
    1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

    The strawberry combo is OFF THE HOOK AMAZING!! it's like eating dessert for breakfast.
