    I have not done well this month :-( To much stress, and emotional eating, not enough exercise. I found out this week that my huny is being deployed over a month early! I am not doing very well right now :-(

    As the wife of a Navy retiree I can sympathize with you. Even though most people think the Navy is a "safe" military career .. believe me it has its ups and downs also. I don't know what branch of the military your husband is in but it's all hard to deal with at times. And when you say the word "deployed" that is definitely a clue that he will need our prayers .. as will you and the rest of the family. I just wanted you to know that I will be putting you, your husband and your family on my prayer list. ((BIG HUGS))

    I'm SOO sorry to hear that. My husband isn't in the military, so I can't relate in that regard, but my husband was denied entry when we moved here in October (read my profile for more info), so it's been 6 months without him and we don't know when the paperwork will be done. SO I can relate to the suddeness of your situation, and the loneliness without your husband.

    hang in there--we are here for you, even if only by a little computer screen. ;)

    Apparently not exercising has been my secret for the last two weeks. :blushing:

    I try to drink enough water to fill our pool every day, I try to keep my net carbs under 75, I have my sodium under 900mg most days, I eat anywhere from 25-40 g of fiber a day depending on the day. I make a concerted effort not to eat anything past 6pm at night. I eat either creamy oat bran cereal or multi-grain hot cereal in the morning or a combination of both.

    Umm, I guess there's no real secret. This has been a good month for me, I guess.

    I think I am really going to cry. We had a party at our house this past weekend (my hubby got a new job) and I did GREAT... I even had an apple when everyone else was eating junk... I was not able to workout, BUT i did so much yard work (we have land)... I never stopped working...

    I am up again... Not buy much, but still 3 lbs higher then I wanted to be... I know everyone says that its not the number but how your clothes are fitting... well mine are the same :( My bridesmade dress came in early and it is to small :( I really want to cry, but I guess i already said that...

    Goal weight on April 30th: 145

    04/01: 153.5 (up almost a lb this week :()
    04/08: 151.8 (goal 151)
    04/15: 152 (goal 149)
    04/22: 147
    04/30: 145

    I am glad to see that there are some great numbers out there. Keep up the great work everyone. Lets kick butt this week we are half way there :)

    [Edited to say...WAIT! I just added your info to the chart, and you are only up .2!! That could be the difference of not fully emptying your bladder... ]
    You need to shake it off, and just keep on going.
    If you are sore... you may have water weight in your muscles.
    HUGS, it will get better!

    At the half-way mark, but I'm still 3.4 lbs away from my goal! I'm gonna have to step it up if I'm gonna make it this month! Either way, a loss is a loss, and I'll take it.

    i am so annoyed! last weekend must have really debilitated me, because even after being under all week, drinking so much water and walking everyday, im up a pound!

    im up even more today, it was dads birthday yesterday and i had a slice or 2 of cake... and homemade pizza :laugh:

    im worried, because i always eat more and weigh heavier when at home. i just came home from college for 3 weeks, gah! i dont want to sabotage the last few weeks of this challenge for me, so im gonna have to get my butt in gear if i wanna drop the 5lbs i need in 2 weeks!

    Had a great NSV today. My boyfriend was wearing jean shorts today and I mentioned they looked a little baggy on him, which they do. So, after doing yard work and gardening, he took a shower and changed. I saw the shorts on the ground and decided to give them a go. They fit perfectly. I was pretty excited about that considering he wears a 34 and they even fit my hips and if they weren't so boyish, I'd consider wearing them out of the comfort of the house.


    So yeah, I thought it was pretty cool that I can now wear his pants. :P

    Pounds lost so far in April: 0.2. Lameness! I've been so good, too. I've had a few treats but I've been under every day and I've been working out almost every day.
