Start over today and forget the weekend. You will probably drop that 6.8 pounds quickly....as I'm guessing a lot of it was just a temporary gain. You can do it.

I'm so glad fall/winter is finally here and I can walk outside…

I would suggest keeping it simple....at least initially. I worked with my doctor to come up with a reasonable calorie limit where I could lose weight safely. She also suggested a low carb, high lean protein eating plan. The emphasis on protein keeps me full.

CindyJNC1963 October: Week #4 Original starting weight: 273 PW: 182.5 CW: 182.2 Blerghhh...I was a pound lighter yesterday. Of course I also overrate a bit yesterday too...not a pounds worth I don't think...hahaha.

Excellent way to put it. I am going through that right now too. I don't feel like I'm mentally ready to push hard towards my goals right now, but I'm hanging in there. I know I'm not a big participant in this group right now but I feel like it helps keep me from getting way off track again. I still have no desire to ever…
