What????
How could I have not posted yesterday????
Crazy.
Anyways... I know you only wish the very best for me -- as I do for you -- and have genuine concern and happiness for the ups and downs. You are a really great person. So...... I am in the 'down' right now.
Yeah, baby..... down in weight!!!!!!
I had lost another pound overnight and that brings me to my new weight of 158.0 lbs. Yup.

So..... today.... yup... you guessed it.... I went down again!!!!!
Only it isn't my streak of 1 lb.... instead I lost 0.5 lb and I'll take it, thank you very much!

Current weight: 157.5 lbs
Goal weight: 140.0 lbs
**17.5 lbs to go

Wow... just wow.
I think my body WANTS to get rid of this extra weight.

O.M.G YOU ARE DOING GREAT. WHAT ARE YOU ACTUALLY DOING.
WHAT PLAN ARE YOU FOLLOWING.
I WEIGHED MY FOOD. THIS WEEK NO... GOING OUT TO EAT ALL THE TIME AS WE AREN'T HOME AND EATING OUT. SO THE WEIGHT YOU ARE LOSING I'M GAINING. I DID GOOD FOR A FEW DAYS BUT A COUPLE I JUST ATE WHAT I WANTED. SOME OF THE FOOD IS A LOT OF SALT.

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU. KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB YOU ARE DOING.. I CAN FEEL YOUR JOY ALL THE WAY OVER HERE WOOO HOOO ...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY SYSTEM. THANK GOODNESS THE UTI IS OVER WITH. PHEW.

I HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN DOING MY EXERCISE LATELY. BEEN BUSY CLEANING OUT THINGS SO WE CAN SELL THE APT. THAT WAS MY MOTHER IN LAW'S.

YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO YOUR GOAL. MY GOAL IS 145 LBS . MAY WANT TO LOSE MORE WHEN I GET THERE. RIGHT NOW I'M STILL WORKING ON GETTING BELOW 170 LBS. I WAS CLOSE NOW BACK UP I THINK TO 175 LBS. WITH ALL THE SALT AND EATING OUT.

CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR HOW YOU LOSE TOMORROW. :)

OH WILL TRY TO CHECK IN. WE DON'T HAVE INTERNET AT THE APT. HAVE TO GO TO CLUB HOUSE TO ACCESS IT.

Hey!!!!!!!!
Great to see you/hear from you! I was wondering what had happened to you. I thought that you were still having computer problems!
I didn't realize that you were away on a 'vacation'. Even if you are selling the apartment... you are still away from home and THAT is a vacation in my mind.
I hope that you are getting rest and relaxation along the way. I hope that you have said good bye to those pesky antibiotics as well.
You probably needed this more than you realize. I'm glad that you got to get away.
**mind you, I hope everything is okay. You said that you are selling you MIL's apartment. I hope everything is fine with her and that she is in the best of health.

So.... my story....
I seemed to have put the brakes on yesterday. Maybe the chain needs to be put back on that bike... I'll hae to check it out...
But, once that chain is on, I'm peddling my way back down that hill.
lol
Anyways, I didn't lose anything today nor did i gain anything. So that's good.... that I didn't gain.
I don't want to say that the ride is over because i hope it's not. I ate stuff yesterday that I shouldn't have. like ice cream. A lot of ice cream. We had gone to DS's play at school and decided to go out for ice cream to celebrate his wonderful performance. I didn't want any but somehow ended up with a huge bowl. So I think that played a role in my not losing any weight.

Well.... today is another day. Let's see if I can get back on the bike. The rest stop was nice, but I need to continue on my journey.

****I wonder what happened to Raymh. I thought she would have chimed back in by now.
RAYMH!!!!!!WHERE ARE YOU??????
WE MISS YOU!!!!!!

I'm super pumped. I've got an exciting day ahead of me....
And I got exciting news when i stepped on the scale this morning. ... It looks like I've fixed that chain on the bike and have continued on my downhill journey!

My. weight. this. morning. was. 156.5 lbs !!!!!!!!
I know.... I'm still in shock.
I dropped another pound overnight. I'm really starting to like this pattern.

And on top of that great news... I'm actually going to be filmed for an internet commercial today. There will also be some still shots being taken by a photographer!
So... I've got to run and start doing my hair etc.
I'll be back again tomorrow.

I'll write you more about what plan I follow when all this dust settles down. Okay?

** that's 16.5 lbs to go

Wierd....
I was typing something and lost it mid way. I just don't feel like retyping everything!
in a nut shell....
I haven't posted in three days. A lot happened. It was a busy weekend and I ended up not making the best of food choices. Actually there was not much available to me to make the choices! I tried my best but ended up gaining back some weight. I believe that I was back up to 159.0 lbs or 158.0 lbs... I can't remember. That was only yesterday! I guess I was discouraged, I don't know. Anyways... this morning I'm back down to 157.5 lbs. Not bad considering all the stuff I was shovelling in to my mouth. lol Not really.... it was just that I was playing with fire for three days and I knew it would catch up to me. Even when I had a choice to fix things for that day, I chose to eat what the rest of the family was eating. I enjoyed it so I now pay the price. I don't mind and I can do this (on my plan) every now and then -- even weekly -- but I did it three days in a row. I know what i did wrong and I see the results. I am back on track and want to be back at 156.5 again... as I was on SAturday! Hopefully it won't be much longer. I know what behaviour to avoid. At least I can control things until the holidays start and I'll be at my parents, my cousin's in Buffalo and who knows where else. There is a lot of events starting to unfold. I can go crazy then and then worry about the weight in the new year.
agh.

I think I'm still 157.5 lbs this morning... I'm not sure. The scale is doing something crazy. I stepped on it at different intervals throughout the day and it said various numbers. The last one said 157.0 lbs. I'll take that one as it's going down. lol
I'll do a proper weigh-in tomorrow.
I think that there was still sleep in my eyes.

You are doing great even with a weight gain. You seem to be on track. Sorry Thought I answered a few of your entries the other day. Maybe, it didn't post. I might have cleared out stuff before saving properly when i shut down.
Wow you are getting closer to your goal , while I'm getting farther away. I gained about 3 lbs on vacation and a couple of lbs before I left. my low was 170.5 I think. Having to get started on getting in exercise every day. it seems just doing my steps isn't enough. adding more maybe what is needed.. also, eating better.
Merry Christmas SHY/

We can work on loosing together. maybe, you can give me some pointers as to what is helping you lose weight... :).

Hey hey hey!!!!!!
How was the vacay????
I hope you had a wonderful and relaxing time.
A three pound gain is not that bad at all. You did really well while playing, didn't you??

You will lose it quickly as you seem to have a focus to be on track. That's all you really need to get the job done.

I just got back from going out of town all day. I went to pick up my new kitchen table!!! I got a really good deal about two hours drive into the big city! I have been waiting for this for a while... there was such a back order on this set.

My weight was 157.0 lbs this morning. Pretty good but I think I messed up on my food intake today. WE'll have to see.

For sure.... I will give you pointers.
Gotta go for an evening appointment!

You are doing great with the weight loss. You are getting closer to your goal
I hope you enjoy your new Kitchen table. It's nice to get something new.

It really wasn't a vacation. we went down to clean out MIL apt to sell. will have to go back to finish the job .
Eating isn't the greatest.. I'm trying to watch but haven't been writing it down. weight has basically been staying the same for the past few days. I must, I must (lol) get in some exercise.

Hope you are all ready for the Holidays.

I still have trouble with DS.. I enter things then the site has google come up saying i'm not on the internet. strange.

That is very strange. I hope you can clear out all the kinks in your system.
Either way... it's good to see you back.

It's so hard to stay focused and on a good eating habit when we go away.... all we can do is try our best and hope for the best.

I was all over the place with my eating yesterday... I totally didn't follow my plan and was afraid to even see the scale this morning. Thankfully, DD1 ran into my bathroom before I could step on the scale so.... I didn't get to weigh myself. It probably was a good thing.
I'm going to do my best today and hopefully get rid of that extra weight, or whatever, I put my system through yesterday. Back on track means better results.

BTW, my plan requires me to weigh myself everyday in the morning after using the bathroom... I know, TMI. It is the true weight and one weighs themselves on the same scale at the same time everyday and also wearing the same clothes. again.... TMI... but I strip down to my bare essentials!!!!
LOL
On this plan, your weight will go up or down depending on what you did or did not do the previous day. IT's that sensitive! You cannot cheat and skip anything. If you do, the scale will show it. You have to eat everything you need to and from all the food groups.

Yesterday I didn't eat any veggies and the scale will show it! YOu can get lucky sometimes but it will catch up with you. I also ate badly so.....
I will try my best until I'll be busy at certain gatherings with all that food around! I guess that's why there's always the New Year's resolutions!
I plan to stay on course until i will be derailed (and I know I will ) and then pick myself back up in the new year and assess things again.

WEll... i guess it happened to me. My post didn't get posted so here I am again.
I don't feel like typing all again so in a nutshell:
My weight is 157.0 lbs and I'm thankful because of my bad choices the other day.
I was half a pound less last week when I was enjoying my streak... the streak that i sorta put an end to. I hope to get it back.

It's DD2's b-day and we're about to head out for brunch.

Still 157.0 lbs.
I hope I break this soon. At least before all the madness starts.

I'll be busy baking cookies today... and tomorrow... and the next day....
lol... we kinda left everything to the last minute this year.

I'm glad you aren't going upto much you seem to be holding on pretty well this holiday season. I am sure if we keep in contact you'll do great.
What plan are you following that it has you weigh in every day? I usually weigh in every day try to make it around the same time and try to wear the same pj's

We'll get back on track. Just lets keep going on here and trying to do our best.
I've been eating awful. I thought I posted more often than I have. IT seems it's hard for me to get onto DS still. My computer seems to have to be shut down and re started if I forget to shut down DS over night :(

My weight went up the last 3 days a bit. I've been eating awful.. Good news though I did start to exercise a bit yesterday. did about 15 mins total . So, now just to continue that Maybe, It will help me get back on track.

Good luck with the holiday parties and eating right. I'm sure you are doing better this year than last year. You maybe, going off the straight and narrow but at least you aren't gaining tons of weight. Keep up the great job you are doing.
How was the brunch? Did they have a good selection of foods?

Happy Holidays

Agh.. forgot to post today.

I'll get back to your questions later... probably tomorrow.
I had a very busy day with dr appointment and baking cookies. The house is quite dirty now. sigh.
I can never win.

Just going to watch a movie and have some pizza for supper. Hope that doesn't derail me.

Weight was still 157.0 lbs this morning.
