Heather, I find that I do that as well - "congratulate" myself with a free reign day and then think, "That was dumb!" I think we need to find new ways to congratulate ourselves. Whether it's with healthier treats (froyo and fruit) or non-food (mani/pedi!), that's got to be where our rewards come from. I feel you though…

Hope everyone had a great weekend!! I was over on cals on Friday and Saturday, but right on target yesterday. I have an interview at 1 p.m. ET today, so I'm a little nervous. However, I'm focusing on the fact that my application was fast-tracked and they are obviously excited to meet me! Hope to see some more posts here…

It seems like a lot of us are in a slump. For me, I'm focusing on spring and the sunshine and weather that makes me want to be outside. I'm also thinking about where I was a year ago. A year ago today, I was 6 weeks in. I had lost 15 lbs and I was working on 4-5 days a week. Since then, I have lost another 44 pounds, I do…

Julie, your family is in my prayers. So sorry to hear about this! Even though April started on Friday, I'm calling today the start of the new month. March was TOUGH for me.
