    Just been plugging along with weight loss for the second time & have been back on track since July 20th. I've gone from around 239 (I think that was some sodium, bloating, etc. from my massive binges around that time) to 209 & some odd ounces today. For the time being I'm trying to average around a two pound loss per week, but once I get closer to 190ish I'll move it to around 1.5-1 pound a week. Today I had what I called a mini eat what I want day (I called it that after the fact) & demolished a whole bag of White Pumpkin Pie M&Ms. Instead of letting it defeat my spirits & want to start a massive binge I just figured out what I could eat calorie wise for the rest of the week to try & aim for a two pound weight loss.

    Congratulations Kelly, and good for you on the focus, it's good to be able to have a treat once and a while and being able to control it. You got this!

    It's gone so quiet! Where are you all hiding? Hope everyone is well. I have 10 weeks of pregnancy left. It's really flown this time!

    Wow! Can't wait to meet baby #2. I've been having a rough few weeks but am trying to focus myself on getting out of the doldrums and back on track.

    Patricia, I got your card the other day. Thank you so much. It meant a lot to me to know you are thinking of us. It's been better, but still a big mess here. Lots of debris still needing to be picked up and the county can only get so much at a time. We did find a property that remained dry during the flood event and purchased it. Just waiting for closing now. After getting sheet rock and all out of the house and replacing that, the bathrooms need work. Most of this will be easier once we move out and there is more room to tear down and fix and repair. I am hoping to sell the house as it hasn't had water other than this event. If the drainage in our neighborhood was better, I don't think we would have flooded. We had three inches throughout the house, lots more had it worse.

    I stayed home yesterday for a "mental health" day. Slept in until 11:00. Man it felt good! However, I ate all the bread! Four toaster waffles, eight slices of toast, a peanut butter and brown sugar sandwich... I lost my mind for a bit.

    Confession: I'm back on the diet bandwagon, but I don't want to tell my friends because there is literally nothing more boring in the world than someone who talks about their diet. So for now it's a secret. Also, I'm in the phase of lurking in these forums way too much in the hopes that this will make me somehow lose weight faster (I know it won't.)

    Mental health days are awesome.
    And I've never had a PB & brown sugar sandwich but it sounds awesome...

    I tried to sell myself on the idea that eating a HUGE spoonful (3-4 tablespoons) of peanut butter and then sprinkling chocolate chips and sometimes banana slices on the spoon as i ate it was a "healthy" 10PM snack....but it's like 400 calories of fat and sugar. I only recently began logging this transgression.

    Hi, my name is Victoria and I've figured out my bench but my deadlifts are now causing an issue. Evidently being a perfectionist is not conducive to power lifting haha

    If you had 400 extra calories, then that's fine. If you didn't, log it and move on.

    I've been on a "food I ate as a kid" kick. Marshmallows and peanut butter melted together and eaten with a spoon? Yeah. Three times this week. Out of marshmallows now and am NOT going to buy more.

    You know that you can stir together marshmallow.creme and peanut butter and skip the meeting part, don't you?

    Eh, we all have something like that. Mine is peanut butter. I don't like hazelnut so Nutella is not a problem for me.

    Speaking of hazelnut, I put on a pink t-shirt and shorts yesterday after work and then stopped at my coffee shop (the one I have been going to since 2007, locally owned, everyone knows me). The barista on duty said "you look good in pink, why don't you wear it?" I said, "So my inner Mean Girl can ambush people, but it's Wednesday, so make me a Mean Girl latte." He made me a skim pumpkin spice latte with a pump of hazelnut, for bitterness. LOL.

    LeeAnn, glad you got it! I have thought a lot about you and your family durimg this and am grateful it wasn't worse for you. Keep up the positive spirit. I'm sure your house will sell. Hopefully Harvey was a once in a lifetime event. ❤

    It might! Support is a wonderful thing. Stick around.

    Every time I try foods I ate as a kid I'm disappointed. They never taste ad good as I remember.
