    I can't believe this. I put on 2.6 pounds. I have worked out loads so the only thing I can think is that it is TOM. That had better be it!!!

    Well, I'm up a lb. Not happy, but not surprised after last weekends craziness. I also went back and realized that when I did hit the low of 130 last month, it was when I was sick and basically hadn't eaten anything for over a week. So I am just happy that at least I am below the 135 mark that I was at for 4 months straight.

    Hopefully I'll see a REAL loss next week. But I also know that next week will be TOM, so it could be ugly. Blah...

    yay for the table!! if i counted it up correctly, we collectively lost 65lbs in a week! :heart:

    at the weekend i went over calories both days, but not by an absurd amount (say 600 or so). i didnt drink any water tho either. my scale really did NOT like me this morning.

    hopefully tomorrow will be better, ive drank many glasses of water so far today, hoping this helps.

    thanx for the chart! Looks great other than my big fat 2 in red!! I turned out to be the biggest gainer this past week. yay.

    But on a serious note, great job everyone. This is a great group of people for motivation and support. I know what I did wrong last week and am already on the right path to changing things up.

    Have a great week everyone!

    Thanks for the chart Pikki - Nikki!! It looks marvelous!

    Everyone have a good week and congrats to everyone who checked in and loss, gained or maintained. You rock and this week with be a good one or even better!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Five things I like about myself:

    1. I like the positive attitude that I have been able to maintain since joining MFP, despite struggles I have had to overcome in this last year.

    2. I like that I have been consistent with my exercise for over a year now.

    3. Like how I feel when done exercising and the inches I have lost also despite slow weight loss.

    4. I like it that I know that this time I am not giving up no matter how long it takes.

    5. I like the fact that in 2010 I finally had a year that I did not gain weight and maintained over 200 weight loss.

    1. I LOVE the way my body feels with all of this new muscle.

    2. I like the way my butt looks in my jeans and especially dress pants.

    3.I like the mental strength that all of my friends have helped me to achieve through their encouragement.

    4. I like that I can fit back into my favorite belt, not only that but that I keep moving down on it.

    5. I like that I have traded emotional eating for emotional exercising.

    Well I have put on 5lbs. in April! Don't ask... even with all the exercise I should be down but I have been going out a lot and my weight has gone up. No regrets... I know what I was doing. I am back on track and not only will I lose 5lbs. this week alone I will lose more by the end of the month!

    This was hard... which is part of the reason why I chose this challenge.

    Five Things I like about me...

    1. I love how I am able to like me more now... I say thank-you to a compliment instead of making it into a joke.
    2. I like how it BUGS me if i miss a workout...which means I have a healthy habit now...
    3. I am learning to like my skin, freckles moles and all...
    4. I like that I am in Dance now... as much as I am shy, it has given me a new confidence and I am slowly becoming more outgoing. A year ago I was in a panic to perform.
    5. I like that I am at a weight where I can throw on jeans and a t-shirt and drive to town, and do errand with a ponytail and a hat, and I am not embarrassed! (I used to weigh pros and cons of outfits in the mirror forever!) Although this one is a lot of things besides my butt shrinking... It is part of all the other 5!

    I am me now... not who people want me to be. I love my family and my life. The stuff that I do not like, I am changing... What I can't I am accepting!

    ...this was harder than I thought to admit! Have a great week everyone!
  • Thank you so much for the all of the work on the chart! It looks fabulous!

    Five Things I like about me...
    1. I like how I feel now, especially after a workout! I am so addicted to being healthy.
    2. I like that my girls are getting to see their mother be a go getter and being healthy.
    3. I like how I laugh with my girls when out on our walks/bike rides.
    4. I like how I feel more confident in all that I do.
    5. I like how I'm looking for different recipe ideas for my family.
