    I drank A LOT this weekend :oops: but in my defense I totally deserved to :lol: And I went to a greek festival and partook in all the delicious food. :oops: I'm not gonna weigh myself until the end of the week to let everything level out. Went shopping today and the clothes are all fitting good, so I think the damage was minimal.



    exactly.
    tomorrow i am back on track.
    i needed this break, and tonight in particular, i needed this break from my reality.
    i can only hope things get better from here.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...

    Good job!! To you, and all the peeps! :D Keep up the good work. And I'm with you, at the same as last week, but it's all good. Things that are much more important sometimes take precedence. Carry on!! :mrgreen:

    I'm going out of town for a week starting tomorrow on a vacation that has been planned for some time. Here's to hoping I don't eradicate any accomplishments to this point. Lost three more pounds although I fully expect to regain those--that was my 3 pound leeway to prepare for vacation. :lol: Have a great week, all. :mrgreen:

    yes, i hit that last tuesday....then actually regained 1.5....but now back down to it, and on a monday....nice, positive way to kick off the week! AND i had a really enjoyable weekend in general, but definitely yummy foods and yes, drinks (back to drinking only on weekends)......so happy i could do all that AND still manage to lose 2 pounds over the last week. :mrgreen:

    you should measure yourself, sometimes that's even MORE satisfying than the #s on the scale.
    i measure myself on the first of every month, keep track of it on my food/exercise jounral...it's nice to see and feel those changes definitely!
    and really, my clothes started fitting WAY better, looser a lot quicker than the #s on the scale, and even with the loss, it's not all that much....so the inches really are what are making me happy. :) eventually of course, i want to see BOTH a lot smaller. 8-) getting there....

    oh, and bootcamp is kicking my ass 3 days a week.....and i LOVE it! just got home from my class....awesome!
    i actually find i look forward to it :o ....NEVER thought that would happen. me, looking forward to exercise! :o
    i'm converted! :lol: i find it makes me feel GREAT, and it's also an awesome outlet/release from all the *other* bs in my life, cluttering my mind. one of the best decisions i've ever made....definitely glad i signed up, hope to go thru the end of the year then try to do on my own at home.

    8-)

    Thanks! I am back. :D Good to see you that you and the others are doing well! And, I got back Saturday night, got on the scale this morning--lost 2 pounds while on vacation. Don't ask how that happened, because I have no idea. lolol. Anywho, yes, it's actually 14 lbs total, I think, since this thread. Since summer of 2009, it's 24 total. woot.

    wow!!!
    fantastic progress!
    sometimes on vacation i think you're just so active, that even if you are indulging...it all shakes out in the end. clearly, it worked for you. :thumbup:

    i am exactly where i was last week, down 7 pounds.
    i HAD mid-week progress of an additional 2 pounds gone, but somehow, that didn't stick. :?
    hopefully more progress on the horizon!


    (oops, just looked back..i was actually down 7.5 last monday, eh well...so up a half.)
    Stay with me...

    I haven't gained any weight, but I'm not shrinking much either. It's kind of frustrating...but then, my exercise schedule has really taken a hit since school started again. :P

    It sucks how having to work a lot really interferes with my personal improvement projects! ;):D

    Just do it anyway!

    Well after a lot of effort I lost 2 1/2 in 2 weeks, then put 1/2 back on. I think it's definately harder with age. I think I am just going to have to like my body this size and if I lose a little weight it's a bonus.

    I've been maintaining all the weight lost. 26 pounds in total...wouldn't mind losing 4 more just for a nice round number :P Exercise and diet have stayed consistent and I'm allowing myself an occasional indulgence.
