CW: 188.8 Really suffered for my stupid weekend of salt and overeating last week as I went from 185 up to 192. Then didn't make good choices this week...so while I lost some of the water weight....obviously kept some of the pounds. But went shopping all day with my skinny sister-in-law and neice and that was motivating!!!…

CW:185. Had a busy weekend with a Women Of Faith convention...did not eat well...but my WI was my normal day right before I left....I imagine I have some work to do this week in eating. Hope everyone is doing well and having a great weekend.

Judy- am thinking of you and your family this time of the year. Sorry to hear about your mother. Your father sounds like an amazing man. It does show that we do get to choose our attitudes no matter what happens. I hope I can be half that gracious with the challenges I have and will show the same kind of strength as your…

CW: 186.6. Now only 6 oz up from the beginning of my trip. I have had 2 days of good eating and diuresed most of the salt I ate on plane and in airport!!!! Now just need to be reasonable in the weekend. Good luck everyone....hope you all have great weekend. Keep up the good work.

Jenn- Sorry to hear about your job situation. Will be praying that you find a new one or that this one stabilizes. Thanks for all your support and your work on this while you are going through that. Keep up the good attitude...you are a fighter!!!!!!

This sounds wonderful...thanks.

Judy....I'm glad you are feeling better today. I also have journaled on/off and been through a long journey of trying. Also feel like I have found a have found a niche and I am not giving up this time. Thanks for your encouragement...keep up the good work!!!! P.S. I did have a great time and owe my small weight gain to all…

Yum....will make that this week. Thanks.

The dog in my picture is Rufus...my rescue dog. Got him 4 years ago....neglected and unsocialized. He is a joy....just looks snobby cause he refuses to look straight at a camera!!!!!! Good luck with the new dog!!!!!!

Hey all- Back from Italy and ready to get back in the saddle. Trip was alot of fun...after 17 days of eating out...ready to skip resteraunts for awhile!!! Did a lot of walking...but still up around 1.8 lb...which considering it was Italy and I indulged in pasta, tiramisu and cheese...guess not too bad!!!! Hoping people are…

CW: 186. Running out door for my trip. Didn't get measurements done, but will measure next month. Have great couple of weeks all!!!! Ciao!!!!

I'm glad to hear that you are better and that Ody has stablilized. Happy Birthday to you tomorrow. I will continue to be praying for you and your son.

Jenn- Just wanted to thank you for your work in all of this. Hasn't been easy for you with the hurricaine!!!! Wanted to let you know that on Friday I will weigh and post my CW. I will be leaving that afternoon for 17 days in Italy and won't have access to a scale. I want to stay in the challenge and will start weighing…

I have struggled to find motivation recently as well. Had burned out of points for WW and now seem burned out for calorie count. Took a psychological profile for weight loss and result was that my personality type doesn't do well with structure. Then left wondering what the heck to do. So have decided to do what their…

Prayers for your son!!! Take care of yourself as best you can and know that we are thinking of you.

CW 188.8. Getting ready for big trip to Italy at end of the week. I hope everyone has a great week.

Happy Birthday!!!!!

Touching..thank you so much.

CW: 190.4....had crept up a couple of pounds, but then was motivated by my clothes being so tight to get back on the wagon. I am leaving in exactly 2 weeks (from yest) for Italy for 17 days. I don't want to not be able to breathe because my pants are so tight....so am aiming to be really good and hopefully lose at least 5…

I hear you. I have really struggled...good for very short time and then bad...poor eating habits. Stopping by fast food for snack even as I'm telling myself not to. Thinking of leaving all money and credit cards at home when I go to work...only have a couple of miles to go...would at least get me home w/o stopping. A…

I just bought a never used, older juicer at Goodwill and a Vitamix. Should have no excuse to make something healthy between the 2 of those!!!!

Hey all- I think this weekend I am going to do a pantry purge and clean it out/take stock. I'm going to refuse to buy sweets for the house....had a fun weekend, but OD'd on bad food and I'm just sick and tired of doing that. Going to start meal planning and STICKING WITH IT!!!! Novel concept. Just used my American Express…

CW 189.4 Have not been good at tracking food in this challenge and it shows in my weight. I am making a serious effort to stop visiting the coffee houses...even for skim lattes as I love the real flavor syrup in them and am drinking them sometimes several times a day. Working today and then heading up to Lake Superior for…

Jenn....you have let no one down. You have been through a hurricaine...flooded basement, computer virus. I have been in nice weather, strolling through our state fair...not having these challenges right now. But I have had challenging times and will again and I understand them. Take care of yourself and we will all keep on…

Yep....mine has shipped according to QVC. Lets get em and get to blending Sway!!!!!!

Jenn...so sorry to hear about your computer problems....on top of the Irene stuff. I had my computer crashed by a virus this past year and had to have the hard drive wiped. Really ticks me off that there are people out there just bent on destroying other peoples stuff...ie: creating viruses/hacking/swindling...ughh. Hope…

I should add that I am determined to do healthier smoothies/green smoothies and am hoping that this helps inspire me.

Saw it was on sale and on easy pay yest on QVC...so I went for it. Have heard so much good for it. Googled Vitamix and found a ton of recipes for them on the company website. Not terribly rich...but figured if I paid over 5 months...work a little extra and this can replace my starbuck frapp addiction. Can't wait for it to…

I have a can of the chocolate powder that I occasionally mix up with skim and PB at times. I use it occasionally to have a changeup in my breakfast routine...but don't drink it on a regular basis. On a funny note...one of my friends had a father who was trying to lose weight and was drinking slim fast. However he was…
