@tinak33 I feel the same about staying in this weight decade, I no longer want to see the 150s, I also no longer want to see the 140s, but that's another story lol.

@ashanna2019 Nice loss! You're making great progress!!

@tdrjustus3 Great loss!!

@vicky2767 Nice day! and I always log in from the website, so I didn't really notice anything weird.
One of the things I like to do when I get into fights with my husband, although, lately those have been pretty minimal as we've decided that honestly really is the best policy (something we should have decided a long time ago as this month will mark our 9 year anniversary of marriage, together way longer than that), and we've gotten to a point where most everything really isn't worth fighting over, but every now and again he says something that just rubs me the wrong way and I go take a super hot shower to "cool down" and that usually makes me feel better, I do a lot of thinking in the shower, it got me through college lol. However, in the long run, a handful of M&M's really isn't the worst you can do!

@Bm00re2u Great start to June!!

@OkieGina Planning is really one of the best ways to stay on track in social situations! You got this!

@o0kody0o Nice day!!

@SLIMn2016 Another awesome day!! And I don't have to tell you that your tiny gain is most likely not anything to worry about. Do you ever measure your body fat and lean mass? I think you'd be reaaaaally surprised at the results since you hit the exercise and strength training as hard as you do. And also, you LOOK amazing! Always love seeing your new pics!

@digger61 It's exciting that you can start weights again! Great progress!!

@lsjhudson We all have those days where we're just tested, and kids can be a source at times! Glad you minimized it!!
My niece did that (she's 4) the last time she was here, I got her a good size wooden toy box and she pull alllll of the toys out of that and threw them across "her" room and crawled in the toy box and hid in there like somehow that was going to save her from having to follow the rules (because she has so many, *rolls eyes*) and I let her sit in that box until she decided to calm down, and then we picked up the toys and cleaned up the room, but she was definitely overtired, that was the day she decided to get up at 3am and refuse to go back to bed...so it happens.

@Fitness327wk Nice day, and I've been giving some though to whether or not I might give yoga a try, my coach really believes in it as it helps with mobility for weighlifting, and I've incorporated a lot of yoga exercises into my warm up routine, but I'm not overly flexible and have always felt a little uncomfortable trying a yoga class per se, maybe some day...

@2muchchocncrisps Nice day! Just looked up Tai Chi, never really looked into that before, what got you started on that?

@cydneebauman Sorry to hear you're still sick, glad you're able to stay under, but hang in there, sometimes it takes a while to get back to normal, especially when you're under so much stress!

@aadubb Nice exercise!!

@CindyJNC1963 Another amazing day! I'm so happy for you, I remember when you struggled with just a little walking and now you're racking up the miles!!

@genajonas I think you're doing great!! It can certainly take a while to hit your stride, and the important thing is to not give up, momentum is important! I hope you're taking pictures along the way, those were huge for me, and I'm about to update mine, probably in the next 2 weeks, when I hit my 100 lb goal, my original goal (having a hard time with the fact that I'm about to hit my original 100 lb goal and have to start thinking about another goal). Really, if we're being honest, I'm having a harder time with the fact that I had more than 100 lbs to lose, can't believe I never saw that, and let myself get to that point!

@Veeedot Exercise will ALWAYS help you get to your goals, both directly and indirectly, but the biggest part of any weight loss plan will always be your diet. It's important to track, even if you don't make a lot of changes at first, it's not really possible to know what you need to change if you're not tracking, otherwise, you're really just flying blind and making changes that may or may not help you in the long run.
For me, even when I was eating the same thing for weeks at a time (and yes, I've really done that, it's just easier for me some times) I still tracked it, otherwise I didn't know what I needed to change when the weight loss slowed down.

@DeshotelK Try more water, and look at what you ate on the day before you saw the gain, it's water weight and likely you ate something your body didn't like. This is most of the reason I track my weight every day, it's important for me to know my body and what it does and does not like because we are allllll very different and some foods work and some foods don't but it's hard to know that unless you're tracking. And another thing is STRESS, stressing about that 4 lbs of water weight isn't really helping you either, so try to relax, assess and drink more water, you can do this! Take a deep breath!
