    I doubt I am going to lose this week and to be honest I am full of excuses this week. I am swamped with a friends wedding plans and the wedding this weekend, rush rush no time for grocery shopping or meal planning and since eating out has sent calorie counting off the plate this week.

    So I will weigh in tomorrow at some point hopefully and I am not expecting anything but :grumble: but I know where the fault lies and hoping this sunday meal plan and get right back on track next week. Even bought a cute pair of terry capris for exercising. I will do what i can to get some minimal exercise in my busy weekend to counter my bad eating and lack of calorie counting.

    Just rambling because I feel if i put my accountability out there, I will endevour to correct it.

    226, However, it's also time for my monthly weight gain, so I'm not to upset about it. Going to the gym the next two days, however!

    I was not home yesterday to weigh in. I'm at 194.2. Down 1.2 since last week! I'm on vacation this week. I have my grandkids, 2 years and 1 year, with me for the week. I hope I can stay as disciplined with them here.

    Nice job Renee. They should have you running all week! I have bad news...my scale was not level. I moved it this morning to a different part of the house with a level floor, I really weigh 170. I'm not even sure where I started now or how much I have lost. I feel better, look better and clothes fit better. I will just have to take solace inthatand keep on working to change my weight.

    We all want to weigh less but that number on the scale isn't as important as how you look and feel. I would just start from today and make sure you continue to move forward. Don't let it discourage you!

    Ok sorry to keep changing my mind. I've found a place that is level and hard. I weighed 167 at that spot, that feels right. I would have loved a 3 pound loss but that did seem aggressive. So my final answer for the week is 167 - down 1 pound.

    Was swamped this weekend but did do weigh in friday just not able to post until today 249.5 so that is a gain that does not surprise me. I am ready to climb back on the wagon tomorrow so will weigh in again tomorrow for my profile and work from there.

    Hope this next wagon ride goes a little smoother and longer LOL.

    Good luck everyone.

    Hi all!! I have not been too interactive in this group at all!! The last group I was in i was on all the time and did great. now i have been doing awful for the past three weeks!! i feel like this is it:( i need to move on and get my butt in gear but for some reason i am unable to do it! i am hoping that i will get out of this funk!! this friday is the hubby's 30th bday and i am taking him on a kid free trip to chicago! i am so excited, we have never been and we are doing tons of fun stuff and taking the train there. i have decided that i am going to not worry about anything about my weight til i come home! i will continue to get up in the mornings and excercise tho cuz i just feel better:) i am going to do a body flush monday, tuesday and wednesday after i get back and this will be the determining factor of what i am going to do, if i can last thru that flush i will be golden, if not i am going to be destined to be fat for the rest of my life. i am not sure why i am even writing this but i have to put it somewhere! hope you all have a great week and i will be off and on here for the week but hope to be hitting it hard come next monday:)

    madyncaden - It does help to get it out there somewhere, so you ramble and vent as needed. I will listen cause I do it too.


    Well fell of the wagon badly, back up to 251 but seeing pics of myself at a wedding this weekend, looking all pretty and big a a cow is motivation to get back on the wagon quickly so we will see how it goes.

    Let's keep on a rolling everyone.

    Don't put s much pressure on yourself. If you don't make it through your 3 day flush, it doesn't mean you'll be "fat" forever. You can change you life anyday you want. Just do the best you can. :-)

    Oh, yeah, and I'm at 186 for this week. Are we supposed to do measurements this week?

    I weighed 192.8 this morning! I'm down 1.6 since last week! It seems keeping up with the little grandkids was just as good as the gym!
    I'm driving them home to Portland today and spending the weekend with 3 other grandchildren. We're going to Ringling Bros. Circus tomorrow. I have tickets in my company's suite. Nothing like having free snacks and a private bathroom with a small group of friends!
    Have a great week everyone!

    Ok so weekends are my DOWNFALL. I cant do calorie counting and pay attention to food and drink my water and keep up with busy activites.

    So my new rule for weekends is dont count the calories and measure, make smarter food choices and find water somewhere and if all that fails, GET SOME EXERCISE.

    SO Monday today and back at it but i am now addicted to the new tims bagels. Have to stick with my oatmeal. But gave up the coffee this mornikng to have the bagel LOL.

    Will go for lighter lunch. Drinking my water though.
