@HGSmith0920, I've never seen this "done" button, is it in the phone app?
Yes it is on the iphone app anyway.1 -

Woohoooooo!!!! Congratulations! You should celebrate in a non-food related way.2 -
I definitely need a (sensible) splurge. I'm thinking maybe a pedicure with a fun new color of nail polish. I can get one for 20 dollars so it's not too out of reach.3

Fantastic news @nickssweetheart ! So happy for you.2

I was just thinking I would like to have a pedicure, but I don't think I can find one that cheap here.1 -

As tiring and exhausting as they were I truly miss the sleepover parties when my girls were little. I'm having a sleepover with the Grands next Saturday night. Hope they let you get some sleep soon!1 -

5. Give some just for today support today! I've been on the receiving end and am so grateful and I want to do my part to make our thread so bright and helpful. Did my best although none of y'all particularly seemed to need support (except maybe for the moms out there...)

I find just the community and participating, sharing ideas and stories is supportive whether I'm actually going through anything, fighting eating or not. It's nice to build the friendships.
I think treating yourself for the new job is an awesome idea!

Today I have my daughter and a young lady coming over to make the wedding invitations. They aren't coming until this afternoon which should give me time to go get some groceries, clean and paint my front door. I am going to get some healthy snacks for us to munch on while we are crafting. My daughter is trying to pay attention to her weight for the wedding next summer. The young lady I am helping lost over 100 pounds in 2012-2013 and has kept it off all this time. She watches what she eats most of the time, but still enjoys her life and fast food occasionally. She is an inspiration to me. The young ladies in my life are truly remarkable, they have all faced challenges head on and still go through life with beauty and grace. My husband said something about "millennials" the other day, I told him I'm tired of hearing it that the generation we know are hard working, generous, community minded people and our generation is worse. He must have thought about it for a while because a while later he told me I was right.
The scale showed 185.6 again this morning, I swear this has been flashing about once a week for the last 3 weeks then it jumps back up again. I am not getting excited over it today. I will continue doing what I'm doing and hope that it starts to go lower, but I'm not jumping for joy yet.
I will probably check in later before my girls arrive, if I don't make it I hope everyone has a great day!

Seeking some advice. Today is my first cheat day in 2 weeks. I have been eating super clean, which I am very proud of, especially given years of super unhealthy eating. I picked out my reward-meal at one of my favorite restaurants. I decided to log the meal ahead of time to try and meal plan a bit around it. Holy cow-crappy food is LOADED with calories! Like really loaded! This is a real eye opener. I am definitely over my calories, even with my exercise completed for the day. I am struggling between doing an extra 30 minutes intense cardio to try and be close to my calorie limit for today, or do I just take today as a cheat day and accept that I'll go over??? Trying to find a balance with this all! Any feedback is greatly welcomed1
