    Piqueaboo-
    Weekends are tough-less structure, more pitfalls. I can ruin a week of being on point if I let the weekend get away from me! Hang in there--another one is coming, we can do this!

    I know this was made in August but can I still join? I’m 250lbs and need the motivation to get the ball rolling.

    How did everyone do this week?

    Doing good! It's just kinda piss me off sometimes when people comment that I'm losing weight too slowly. Like, give me a break! I'm doing a good job of losing weight and keeping it off. I'm ok with my current rate, and I don't want to hasten it then make myself unhealthy. I usually ignore those people, but it still gets to me sometimes.

    The weekend is coming!!! Should we make a pact to stay away from the liquid calories(booze) this weekend??? I see a theme here! We do good all week but once we have that glass of wine on Friday...let's do it! I will choose water and no alcohol this weekend. Who's in?

    Don't let anyone get you down and say you're not losing it fast enough. You know your body! Let's not strive for perfection, let's just try to do better than we used to! Right? Keep it up! You're kicking *kitten*!!!

    No weight loss yet again. I've been working out more and can feel myself getting stronger.
    I'm a little bummed the scale hasn't gone down however I am enjoying this heathier feeling.

    Add me.
  • I need to lose thirty! I was hoping for twenty by January 1. I’m absolutely in. I need some accountability.

    Well, no loss for me this past week, but no gain either. Thought I was being "good". So this week going to focus on portion size, that can get away from me real easily. Still, down 11 lbs since mid August, so moving ahead. Slow & steady.

    Gosh, I really messed up last week. Higher than when I started! I need to really focus this month, and stop messing around.

    Gained 2 lbs this week and know exactly why. Have yet to figure out how to manage the minefields of a social weekend & keep to my plan.

    Louz163-I'm impressed by your consistency, never a week when your weight goes up. What's your secret?!

    I was scared to weigh myself this week because I had an awful week and weekend with my eating and exercising. But I lost 2 pounds! I think most of it is water weight but I'll take it. Finally under 200!!
    I need to get back on track. My mini goal for this week is to be sure to accurately measure my food. Many times I just eye ball and hope for the best.
