    Official weigh-in (which amazes me because I can still feel that giant meal above sort of sitting in my stomach!) is down a teeny-tiny bit from yesterday.

    I lost 3 lbs for the week, which means my average loss for the past two weeks is 1.3 lbs, taking into account my gain last week. Getting close to 25 lbs lost, which is almost half way - WOOHOO!!!:

    OMG! That looks so delish. I hate the thought of eating animals...I have huge, crazy empathy for anything alive...one time there was a bee dying in my house and I took him outside to my pIanter and put some honey next to him...ya...he was dead the next day and I was sad. I even pick up worms when they're on the side walk and put them in the grass so they won't get stepped on...I remember telling my kids to watch out for the ants on the sidewalk because they were probably going home to the momma.... I really don't know how eat meat! I think it was engrained in me since I was a child. I think I'm going to quit. It's really so stupid...uhhhhh....rant over. ps...ummmm... we don't have veggie burgers that look like that in the US!

    If animals were not meant to be eaten, they wouldn't be made out of meat! :# . That wasn't meant to be offensive. I actually think that is a great goal.

    Well, you and my partner would get along just great! He watches where he is walking so he doesn't step on ants. He will stop the car to move anything out of the road (poisonous snakes included). He totally does that with worms. He will get super upset if he sees anyone killing an insect - even a mosquito. If there are ants in the sink or anywhere in the house he will pick them up one by one and put them outside. I think you guys are soul mates!!!

    I don't eat meat - somewhat for the empathy reasons - but mostly because I find it utterly revolting to eat an animal's muscle. Has always grossed me out since I was a little kid. Ugh.

    Wow ya Sarah, you are having great success! And such a plus that you don't feel like you're suffering! Who woulda thunk!???
    Ha your partner sounds like a really nice, caring guy! How long have you guys been together? It's great that you're both vegetarian together....makes food an easy thing.
    I'm holding off on any kind of rules for a while. I need my brain to not have anything to focus on...no right and wrong as I'm stupid hard on myself when I goof up. Here's to a great September for us all :*

    Here is the sorry tale of my weekend - which was 100% planned and a gain expected.... :smile:

    Saturday night we went out for the tapas and drinks we were supposed to go out for the week before - we tried a restaurant we hadn't tried before and it was awesome - will definitely go back! We ate a ton of tapas (marinated olives, deep fried battered goat cheese stuffed olives, Spanish omlette, bread, flat bread pizza, and other things I can't remember!), shared a pitcher of Sangria and then moved onto the delicious cocktails... Then we went and had Gelato... So good!

    Sunday was Father's Day here, so we had a house full of people and kids. I opened my window at 3pm with Sangria... We had a big BBQ, lots of salad and potato bake and cheese and the usual things. I ate everything I wanted to eat and was so full by the end of the meal that I didn't want any cake (not that I really like cheap grocery store cake anyway, so that actually wasn't unusual for me - if it had been cake from the bakery that I like, that probably would have been another story!). I definitely drank too much Sangria... Not actually sure when I started fasting again - I'm guessing it was around 8:30...

    Yesterday (Monday) it was hard to fast because I was a tiny bit hungover. I white knuckled (usually it's just so easy!) it until 4pm or so and then broke my fast.

    The scale hasn't been kind for the past 3 days, but I'm sure it's mostly water retention and will disappear quickly.

    This is what my fasting looks like. The grey bars are when I don't reach my fasting goal of 21 hours (I almost never hit that goal on the weekend).

    B@stard scale!!

    Slowly, slowly my gain on the weekend goes away! I love how it can just jump up overnight and then it takes 4 billion years to disappear! (I'm not prone to exaggeration in the least, btw).

    Tomorrow is my last weigh in before I leave and don't have access to a scale for 2 weeks - I'd REALLY like to be at 175.3 which was my lowest so far (I'm at 176 right now). Not that I'm going to do anything special to try to get there - and tonight's Hello Fresh meal is some double cheese pasta thing! Still, it would be nice... :)

    In the airport lounge watching Darcy pig out on the yummy breakfast food. Drinking my black coffee and waiting for our 12-13 hour flight... at least we only have an hour flight to San Diego after that - it's the worst when we still have a long flight to somewhere on the east coast!

    Good weigh in this morning - actually dropped below my low weight from Saturday so a good start to my trip and gives me more motivation to succeed in my conference challenge... Last weigh in until the 20th Sept (unless the conference hotel is one with a scale - I've noticed a few hotels have had them lately):

    I hope your conference challenge is wildly successful. As far as a scale, heheh, I have been known to pack one. I am - or was - seriously considering it for my upcoming month in Spain. But I'll probably need the room for something else.

    You'll be back Sept 20th. I'll be back Oct 5th. I hope we both lose weight! See you in a month.

    Thanks guys!! I have packed a scale before too... I travel carry-on only now though, so it's not an option. I was toying with the idea of calling down to the front desk to ask if they have any - already had to get a fridge sent up for my supply of sparkling water. Fewer and fewer hotels are including fridges by default in the rooms now...
