Checking in with my new attitude! So far so good.. Planning an active weekend. No parties, so should be a good one for Monday checkin. Happy Friday to you all..

First Official weigh in. Starting to be accountable. Here goes. 5'1 SW 179.2 GW - At least 20 pounds.

@elize7 - So happy for you. I've watched your ups and downs and so happy that you have things under control and doing well. The 4th wasn't good in several respects. Food, drinks, companionship. all ugg.. New day. All I can do is get back at it. Think and be positive!

"Crazy Betty" LOL. I have a "Crazy Paula". I'm back in for July. I was on vacation last week. It wasn't very diet friendly.

@LizinLowell - scan for money and un-cashed checks stuffed in the mattress. LOL. Also magazines and coffee cans. I help my elderly aunt and I find 'goodies' stashed in the strangest places. Depression era mentality, I guess. Skipped the b-day cake all together last night, but over indulged with martinis. I feel like crap…

@baconslave HAHA - "My life is a surreal circus" I don't envy you the goats. I hear you tho. Sometimes I look around and think, someone is putting on a spoof and there must be a candid camera somewhere. Is this really happening right now? LOL :D

Boy is it hot here in New England! Ug. Haven't had a chance to get my walks in. Tomorrow should cool down. Tonight is a b-day for a friend. Probably will just do strawberries and cream as my splurge. Keeping at it today. Stay cool friends.

@elize7 - So happy for you that you are back on track again. I too lost it over the winter and back on track again to fit into my summer clothes from last summer. I had a great weekend (exercise and diet). The weekends are my weakness so to weigh in on Monday with no damage is always a success in my book. Back at it for…

The good news is I'm down 4 pounds since June 1st. The bad news is I'm sure it is just water. I was really water logged, but I will take it. This should be a good weekend. Keeping at it.

Nice! Great JOB!

Jumping back in... Survived the weekend. Got lots done. I wish the sun would come out at some point. I'm feeling drained on this rainy Monday. Going to try to squeeze in a walk later this afternoon. Met a handsome man this weekend, he seemed really nice, but as the saying goes, "he just wasn't that into me". HAHA. I'll…

Does anyone else have a miserable relationship with an ex? Does every exchange have to be an issue?Keep in mind our kiddo is a teenager and this is Memorial day weekend.. No wonder I gained 50 pounds. Errrr.. Anyway, I'm still doing good this week and looking forward to the weekend!

Boiled eggs.

Wow. You guys are really bust'n a move with all the exercise! Lik'n it. Hoot. It's rainy here again today, so no walky for me. Been doing stairs instead of the elevator tho. So that counts. Food is on target so far this week. No alcohol too! Seems to be heading in the right direction. Super stressful at work today. Could…

Got a mani/pedi today. Feeling so pretty. Also, down a pound! Hoot. Supposed to go to WW tomorrow. I'm kinda feeling eh about it again. I've got about a 1000 excuses why not to...Got my walk in today. Went to Whole Foods last night. Got cauliflower, spinach, kale, onion, all the good stuff. There veggies are much better…

@kirkor What I have recently been doing? Well, here's my recent trend in a nutshell. What worked for me in 2015 when I first started LCHF -I lost 40 pounds. I started eating breakfast at 7am -1-2 eggs mixed with cream, cinnamon, spinach and kale and coffee with cream. Lunch - can of tuna or 6oz of chicken or steak, bacon,…

Congratulations on starting IF and enjoying it, You have motivated me to try 16:8 IF. Just wondering What are your biggest hurdles? It seems like this might be completely do-able for me because I really never ate breakfast until late anyway. I gained 40 pounds doing something similar by the clock, but not necessarily by…

I didn't have any alcohol or diet soda this weekend and I'm down 2 pounds from Friday. Yup. That's the ticket. Break out the fancy glasses!

@baconslave ---"All of us in the creepy, white 12-passenger van like a redneck clown-car... .. So now the van smells like lamb-poop and grape soda." HAHAHA Great visuals.. Thanks for the laugh. And here, I thought only my life was like that. Giggle. I'm joining WW on Wednesday as a buddy to my GF who has lost 45 pounds…

My self-sabotage is not so subtle. I don't have a sweet tooth and not really a carb addict. I drink to escape the *kitten* hole that is my life. And there it is.

Good Morning. Yesterday was a good day. Checked all the boxes. Now if I can just string them together. So tired of this Yo-yo. Looking through my closet for spring-summer stuff. Nothing fits. 35 pounds makes such a huge difference when you are short. Brought a healthy lunch, dinner is in the fridge. I prepped everything…

I roll up guac in deli meat and cheese for lunch. A little messy, but keeps me all afternoon.

I wouldn't be so overweight if I was 5'6"! 5'8" would be ideal. HAHA. Alas, I have been keeping this little engine moving. Got up early this morning and did some exercise. Also completed my walk this morning. Brought my keto meatloaf for lunch. Still bouncing up and down weight wise, mostly still eating too much. Shooting…

Good Morning. I had a terrible Mother's Day too! The good news is I got rid of 300 pounds this weekend. Long story, but I'm looking for a new honey if you know of any good ones out there. Must know when he doesn't have a speaking part. HAHA I do have lots of yummy meat dishes prepared for the week. The outlook is for the…

This was my chart from May 15th through Nov in 2015. Guess where I am again? Yup. 177 this morning. I did it before, I guess I can do it again. ARG. Don't fit into anything. And I was really starting to see progress.

Wow page three already! @mmultanen thanks for the cheer up yesterday. Today I'm back to where I was before my chicken piccata with angel hair explosion. It was so good, but ate way to much of it, last night I did the right thing. No alcohol so that helped too! I can't believe how much my weight in the morning effects my…

Checking in, but not with good news. ARG. Not having a good week so far. Too much stress, not focusing on goals, Freaking out, feeling discouraged with myself. Here to be accountable. Today is a new day. Hitting the reset. I will be good to myself today!

Happy May Day. I've made a decision to do more than just try. I made a decision to DO!!! I tried in April without much success. This is it! Did my power walk this morning. Had my tuna and pickles for lunch. Couple of nuts as a snack. Headed to the grocery store tonight to get back up on my LCHF/Keto foods. I'm MOTIVATED!!

Day 3 checking in. A bit of a set back yesterday on the scale, but I'm going to have my official weigh day be Monday. Today, I had some yummy lamb meatballs. Feeling a bit off today. It's cold and rainy and I just want to go home and get under the covers today. Keeping it all in perspective tho..

Good Morning. Was a glorious spring day here in New England. The trees look amazing and all the shrubs are in full bloom.. Need to get out this weekend and take some pictures. I love it when I step on the scale and I'm down 1 pound after the weekend. Great Motivation this week. Going to really get back to Keto and enough…
