After reaching out to @lindamtuck2018 privately, she encouraged me to post my last 2 weigh-in's, even though they are late. I have been weighing in, just not posting, because I'm very disappointed and down on myself.

User name: Gwiz401 Weigh Day: Saturday SW: 179.8 (1/7/22) PW: 174.4 CW: 176.0 LTD: 3.8 Sorry again for the late post. Here is Saturday's weight. I'll be missing this Saturday as I am on a kayaking trip in Folly Beach, SC until Sunday. I know being with this group will keep the mouth parties at bay! The trick is to stay…

User name: Gwiz401 Weigh Day: Saturday SW: 179.8 (1/7/22) PW: 178.0 CW: 174.4 LTD: 5.4 Firstly, I am deeply apologetic for the late post. I did weigh-in on Saturday but did not log it. Please accept my apology. Secondly, yes, I am thrilled for my 1-week loss, however it is not a true representation as I did a 2-day cleanse…

User name: Gwiz401 Weigh Day: Saturday SW: 179.8 (1/7/22) PW: 175.2 CW: 176.6 LTD: 3.2 Up 3.4 lbs in 2 weeks!#?@ I shouldn't be surprised, given the "mouth parties" that I've been having. However I'm employing a new strategy this month. I will be significantly upping my protein and getting back on track with taking…

User name: Gwiz401 Weigh Day: Saturday SW: 179.8 PW: 173.2 CW: 175.2 LTD: 4.6 Back from the Galapagos Islands! Amazing trip!! I'm up 1.2 lbs since leaving, however I suspect it was gained in the week that I've been back (-: Thankful for this accountability to get me back on track!

@lindamtuck2018 yes Optavia is a meal replacement diet, comparable to something like Nutrisystem. It's expensive, calorie-restrictive and you have to buy their food, which is processed. All huge negatives for me. BUT, if I can get some inches of my belly, I'll do it for 1 or 2 months, then go back to eating clean. After…

User name: Gwiz401 Weigh Day: Saturday SW: 179.8 PW: 174.6 CW: 173.2 LTD: 6.6 Galapagos Islands ... Here I come!! I'll be missing weigh-in on 3/12 & 3/19. When I return, I'm thinking of trying something radically different (for me) .... OPTAVIA .... for 1 month. Anyone try this?

User name: Gwiz401 Weigh Day: Saturday SW: 179.8 PW: 173.0 CW: 174.6 LTD: 5.2 Gain of 1.6 :-( I don't know how that happened, but I am not going to stress about it. I've been diligently drinking 96 oz of water for the last 3 days and will keep doing so. I will continue to make the best choices and choose wisely. 10 days…

User name: Gwiz401 Weigh Day: Saturday SW: 179.8 PW: 174.6 CW: 173.0 LTD: 6.8 Still strong and in control! 17 days until the Galapagos Islands!! My goal is to drop 5 more lbs before my trip. In order to do this, I have to drink a lot more water and do cardio intervals 30 minutes a day on top of 3 days of weight training.…

User name: Gwiz401 Weigh Day: Saturday SW: 179.8 PW: 176.8 CW: 174.6 LTD: 5.2 Feeling strong and in control. Allowed myself to stray after Saturday weigh-in, only if I really want to, but am doing 20-30 min cardio interval before straying and the day after. Stress level since last Sunday is threw the roof, but I've been…

User name: Gwiz401 Weigh Day: Saturday SW: 179.8 PW: 176.0 CW: 176.8 LTD: 3.0 A gain of 0.8 over 2 weeks. Not bad considering I was on vacation for a week and definitely over-indulged on the libations. In the few days that I've been back home I've gotten on track. I'm on a serious mission this month!! 30-days til the…

User name: Gwiz401 Weigh Day: Saturday SW: 179.8 PW: 178.2 CW: 176.0 LTD: 3.8 It was a good week! Down 2.2! Changes I made this week: Did not have a Friday night "allowance" (aka. wine and/or dinner out). Next week I will not be able to weigh-in as I will be traveling. The earliest I could get back on my scale will be…

@red1185 wine and chocolate are an evil combination :D

@mszoueb thank you :D @lindamtuck2018 I have to be stronger than my emotions. At least the slips are contained to once a day and not the whole day. I resolve to be on point for the next 11 days!! Water and no slips!!

User name: Gwiz401 Weigh Day: Saturday SW: 179.8 PW: 177.4 CW: 178.2 LTD: 1.6 I'm doing great on the weekdays, but totally lose control on the weekend. The trigger is emotional stress, which leads to cocktails, then snacking. It's a vicious cycle.

Can someone please enlighten me on the Bingo game? TIA.
