@murdog3t, that is wonderful news that you were able to get outside and go for a walk! We take fresh air for granted, don't we?

@brandi_84, that's a shame that your daughter is unable to exercise with you right now, but maybe she can be your best cheerleader and/or your worst nightmare by hounding you until you get it done, and then giving you the big high-five!! Yes, planning is key, whether it's meals or working out or anything!! (Re: my yesterday!!)

Congratulations, @mooreshelly09 for being this week's Second Overall Biggest Loser!! And to @loraloha22 and @prehistoricmoongoddess for rounding out TBBT's top three!!

@knlizght, well done on meeting with your trainer (it sounded like a real hardship!!) and coming up with a solid plan!!

@mooreshelly09, This is your first little hurdle....the scales not budging since Friday. Please take it in stride.... You have lost eight pounds so far this month, and we are only a little over the halfway mark. If someone had told you on August 31st that you were going to lose eight pounds in September, you would have taken it in a heart beat!! So, anything you lose between now and the 30th is gravy, and you WILL lose if you keep doing what you are doing!! Let's face it, as much as we would like weight loss to be linear, it is anything but!!

@brandi_84, I also have no problem reheating meat, or anything for that matter, in the microwave! If I think the meat might dry out, for example, a roast, I will slice it up, put it in a pan, cover it with water, cover with foil and reheat in the oven.

@DaffyGirl88, well that's disappointing that your family may have been exposed and you cannot visit for your grandson's birthday! On the bright side is the fact that no one seems ill and your grandson will not remember his second birthday celebration being a quiet one!!

@knlizght, it sounds like your head is in the right place to be successful at losing weight right now. Even with that, we all need cheerleaders and it's so much more enjoyable to not do it alone!!

@richmondwriter, that is a tough situation, with your mom wanting to being helpful, but not making the right choices. It sounds like you handled it with tact and with love!!

@erikNJ, so glad that you haven't given up and are still committing to daily exercise!! The food part will come as life sorts itself out!!

Tracked: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: yes, 2.5 walk/jog with C25K
Steps: 11,801
Water: 135.2

Tomorrow will be a bad day for my diet lol. Saturday is our 11 year wedding anniversary and we rented a cabin on a private lake. I will be mindful of my choices, but want to enjoy myself while we are away. Hope to get in plenty of exercise to help counter the food

@HASWLRS Thank you for the kind words. I keep telling myself at least its not a gain, and I know it won't just fall off overnight. Trying to keep my head up.

@mooreshelly09 Like Lisa said, enjoy your anniversary, life is too short not to. And there are many ways to burn off those champagne calories. 😉

Last: 263.7
This: 265.7

Gained back all of my late August vacation weight plus another pound 👎🏻

@DaffyGirl88, Woot woot, indeed!!

@richmondwriter, well done on following a not so good day with a really good day!! That salmon does sound easy, and I am assuming it is good!! A girl at work buys those whole cooked chickens in the grocery store and takes off the meat and freezes it, I am assuming in serving size bags, to have handy for salads or wraps or whatever!!

@erikNJ, okay, so you've gone all the way up....I guess there's no where to go but back down!! Think positive my friend....one day, one meal, at a time! You got this!!

@mooreshelly09, the jig was after the weigh-in, but when I initially read your post, I pictured you jigging in the kitchen and literally a pound, falling to the floor, like in a cartoon or something!! Either way, well done!!
