You have done a great job, you should be proud of what you have accomplished. And you are looking great!

@jtkatch " I guess I have to go with the flow and just keep tweeking, refining and being consistent." I think the being consistent part is the big key, and that is the part I am struggling with most myself, I'll do great for 5 days in a row, but then if I blow it on the 6th I undo all my work. I have made peace with the…

Good Monday morning to all...let's make it a great last week of September! September 26 - 213.5 lbs. (-2.0 lbs.) Back to where my weight was pre-anniversary trip, so very happy with that!

Good Sunday morning to everyone, I did gain on my anniversary trip but not too bad for me, it should be gone by midweek. Hope everyone has a great day! September 25 - 215.5 lbs. (+2.0 lbs)

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Not sure I want to see the scales tomorrow morning, I really enjoyed myself for my anniversary celebration, including something call a "Chunky Elvis" milkshake (don't ask), right now my job is to down as much water as possible the next couple of days to get the sodium out of my…

@frankiesgirl21 It will be okay, I bet it will be off by Monday if you eat well and get in your workouts this weekend. As for me I am out of town with my wife for our Anniversary, so no weight for me today. Anyone ever eaten at Genghis Grill? I love that place, dinner there last night, but I did all cabbage, no rice or…

Don't let stress over food ruin your time with your husband. Either plan your day so that you have plenty of calories left for the evening or just know that you will have a little work to do next week, but enjoy the time you spend with your hubby. That is my plan for the next two days with my wife, I am not even taking my…

Anyone know how to rename a thread? I'd like to delete the September and just keep it going.

Will be out of town 2 day celebration of anniversary (16 years!) Planning to eat well while eating out, will be a challenge. @thinmarjo we all wish you luck, congratulations on what you have already accomplished, we look forward to seeing your continuing progress! September 22 - 213.5 (-0.5)

@slim1 love to see that line going down!

@donmhill how far are you walking to work? You are doing great! September 21 - 214.0 lbs (-1.0 lbs.) Feeling good today after a one mile morning jog, hope each of you has a great day!

That is awesome! You should find a way to celebrate that doesn't involve food ;-)

Wishing everyone a healthy and happy day today! September 20 - 215.0 lbs. (-1.0 lb.)

Look at the overall trend from Sept 5 to today....you've done great!

You guys are doing awesome! @jtkatch I have been looking for a term for what you called BLTs...I love that name, the worst for me is when I do after dinner clean-up and the kids have left food on the plate, sometimes it goes to the trash where it belongs, sometimes it goes in my mouth. @frankiesgirl21 Yes! You are rocking…

September 18 - 219.5 lbs. (-2.0 lbs) Feeling good and trying to stay consistent now, best wishes to all of you on this Sunday!

September 17 - 221.5 lbs. (-3.0 lbs.) Today will be a challenge as I'll be taking two of the kids out to a festival, but I am determined to eat healthy and continue to see the scales going in the right direction! Hope everyone has a great Saturday!

September 16 - 224.5 (-6.5 lbs.) Finally, a day when my eating was under control and healthy. Thank you, Lord.

Peanut butter is one of my big downfalls as well! How can something that tastes so good be so wrong? September 15 - 231 lbs. Even though I have continued to gain I have not given up, and I am optimistic that today is the day that things turn around for me!

September 14 - 229.0 lbs. Hope everyone has a great day!

September 13 - 228.5 lbs. (-1) Good to see the number go down today, hope it motivates me to eat well today, let's have a great day!

frankiesgirl21 "Michael you are sorta quiet so I am thinking your stressing a bit? (forgive me if I am being overly presumptuous.) Remember "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good" Each day is it's own. It has nothing to do with yesterday. We have swings. It's about the big picture. WE are with ya! " You are right, I am…

September 12 - 229.5 lbs.

Sept. 11 - 227 lbs.

September 10 - 220.5 Great Gatsby! How does my body gain so much weight, so quickly? That is 8 lbs in 2 days! Did I eat more than I should have? Yes. Was it all you could eat for 2 days straight? NO!

Don't give up! I am right there with you, feels like if you don't eat perfectly you gain weight!

September 9 - 217.0 lbs. (Anyone else do a lot of snacking during the football game??)

Glad to have you!
