Wiiiiiii ..... its not cancer!!!
So had a mammogram and an ultrasound done and both came OK. Doctor said I have something called fibroadenoma and is usually benign. Because I am a little bit neurotic due to my previous experience, I will have a fine needle aspiration next week as well just to triple check todays results ... its at another hospital, so could not be performed today.
So now no excuse to continue the downhill spiral I had this week ... tomorrow is a brand new day, so need to get back to healthy eating and exercising! And get ready for my trip next week ... back to the US for a week .... shopping
Thank you for all your good wishes!!!! Now back to my normal self (and hopefully daily postings)

@happygirlxxx that is the fantastic news!!!!
Well I made it to workout today, so go me. I spent 30 min using the weight machines. I spent a lot of time doing arm exercises and my arms feel like they are going to fall off right now. I dread how tomorrow will feel. But the results will be worth the effort.2 -
Thank you all!!! I am almost relieved ... I will be at 100% with the final test. The doctor said its not really necessary, but if it will give me peace of mind then to go ahead with it.
I finally step on the scale ... scary number!! I have not gone all the way back to my Jan 1 weight, but have gained most of itbut as I said today is a a brand new day to start and smile
Sorry guys I will screw up the progress of the challenge
@cjbrummet good workout!

@happygirlxxx - so glad the great came out in your favor. As for the weight gain, trust me, much of that is water. Get back on track today and when you step on the scale tomorrow you will see a big drop. The day after, a little more. After that, it's "real" and you just gotta work it. And you WILL! Don't beat yourself up about it - that just makes it worse.1

I am sorry also, group, for having such a bad week weigh-wise ... I didn't overeat on any day, it's just that I'm in the 'hold-it' stage of tummy-work and hope things will have evened out by next week's weigh-in.

@happygirlxxx So glad to hear your results!!! What wonderful news! I agree with @birgitkwood ... I am sure much of that is water. I know that you will now fully focus and continue to inspire us all with your workout reports and recipes!
AFM -- Well... still recovering from the foot surgery and so so so so anxious to get back to physical activity. I have some personal stress family drama happening right now so the fact that I am not binging my troubles away is a major NSV. On the scale I went up a bit this week and I am exactly where I started at the beginning of this challenge. I am absolutely not going to reach my challenge goal but I am so grateful for this challenge because its making me accountable... and given my current situation, I could have really put on the pounds if I let myself. Today is a good day.

@ana-- so happy to hear your good news!!
AFM-- well, it's coming off really, really slowly, but at least the scale is moving in the right direction. I know in part, it's due to my own inconsistencies. I tend to have one or two days/week where I'm not eating very healthily, and that bumps the scale back up, but at least it's coming back down a tiny bit lower each week.
Friday fitness:
Got to the gym Monday and Wednesday, and I plan to go again tomorrow. Getting back into running has been more difficult than it ever was in the past.

Well being sick all week helped me not to gain more weight by stopping my overeating indulging phase!
Well my daily 4 goals havent gone overly well.
1. Logged most of what i ate. Didnt bother on a few days...because it didnt stay in anyways.
2. Havent eaten any chocolate.
3. Washed just enough dishes to make some homemade chicken noodle soup. The rest remain.
4. Ate veggies once but they came back out. So i put that on hold for a few days...maybe tomorrow.0 -
@cellosmiles Sorry you've been sick. Hope you are 100% recovered! That wasn't a fun way to lose some weight!
@skinnyjeanzbound Slow and steady wins the race.
@raindogmaa I would say you definitely had a huge NSV this week with all that have going on. It would have been so easy to binge but you didn't. Way to go!!! Pat yourself on the back!
@happygirlxxx That kind of one week weight gain is water. I agree completely with @birgitkwood. It will come off before you know it, a little more each day.
We are having a family birthday dinner here today for my daughter. I've already entered the dinner into my journal and can plan the rest of my day around it. My granddaughter is coming home from college for it and I'm looking forward to seeing her. I made one of her favorite snacks that she loves....sadly I love it too. It's called Chocolate Chip Cheeseball. That will be very hard to stay out of but I'll try.Tomorrow we are supposed to go to a Super Bowl party but now they are calling for snow so maybe we'll just stay home. That wouldn't break my heart. I'm not into football at all, don't even understand the game, plus I can control my own food.
Let it snow. LOL Have a great Saturday everyone!

Today is Saturday Success, eh? Fitting that it marks four months since I stopped drinking finally. Went from about a fifth of liquor a day to four months sober. Now I'm just over a month of counting calories daily, as well, and a couple weeks back in this thread I'd abandoned for years, even if I'm not very active.6

I guess I had better revise my goal to just getting back into Onederland! Had a little set back this week, nothing major but left me very tired everytime I tried to do anything. So...basically just read and ate! Amazing I still managed to lose what I had gained the previous week, water weight after surgery???? Will have the challenge numbers shortly!1 -
The Winter Games Report Week 5 We had an overall gain this week but I don't want anyone to feel bad, there were extenuating circumstances and many things going on. I'm sure this coming week will be much better so just keep plugging everyone, we can do it! GOOD NEWS we now have 3 people who have met their challenge goal! Congratulations to Tracy @NewCaddy, Maggie @b_lisieux and Birgit @birgitkwood great job! the rest of us still have three weeks to work toward our personal goals. Onward and downward as they say!3

Hi! This seems like a really nice thread of lovely people. I'd love to join in.
My name's Katrina. I'm 36, a stay at home mom of two boys (4 & 8yrs) and I'm starting a weight loss journey (AGAIN). Actually, it took me a lot of courage to get back on the wagon this time after losing and gaining the same 50+ pounds three times over the past 8 years! Fear of failure had kept me from trying again. But, I've been back at it for about a month now and down from 302 to 289. I know I need a closer community and accountability this time.2
