    Two days in a row with lots of water. Bringing my water bottle to work instead of my coffee mug! Seems to help me cut back on the snacking. So far so good. No plans for tomorrow night so I'm going to try to sneak in 30 minutes of cardio. We'll see if I can get the kids to tag along.

    Favorite motivators: Fiting into clothes that I haven't been able to wear, feeling better and more energized

    Thanks for the encouragement and for the group connection - today was indeed better.
    Yay Lisa! It's very inspiring to hear about your great day after a not so great one. It's a great reminder to keep at it and also focus on the big picture, not defining our overall success on each individual day.

    Lots of water seems to help me too.

    Scale started to move in the right direction again. 1 more pound to hit my all time low of 89.5. So want to see the 90's. Not feeling well so going to focus on drinking plenty of water and trying to take it easy for today.

    Just want to thank everyone again for listening. It really does help :)

    Welcome judyheinze57!

    matthewsfive - you are an inspiration!

    I know many experts recommend that you don't weigh yourself every day but I do. I'm not a fan of surprises. No change on the scale yet but it's only been a few days and I'm optimistic. I've stayed within my caloric range (except for going over a tiny bit yesterday) and have made my goal of at least 6000 steps every day.

    Beautiful week to all~ :)
    My goals this week are going to include incorporating more vegetables & exercise (I have been enjoying my gardening so much more than the gym~ <3 ) & breaking out of the 200#'s.
    I had a loss of 4.4 #'s this week, (I am sure the weight loss was a lot of water weight) which goes to show that I have been on an overindulgent roller-coaster ride for far too long (6 months to be exact)
    Joining our group & tracking last week, while omitting my overindulgence in overeating (emotional/stress eater here) & craft beer led to this weeks success.
