You're doing great! Slow and steady... you're right!
You should definitely do some moving around to get your back feeling good. You need to get the kinks out. I hope you feel better soon.

I'm thrilled that your daughter is having a great time. It is hard to be away from family but I think this trip will make her realize how much her family means to her... and that can't be a bad thing!!!!
She'll be home before you know it.

I forgot my actual weight this morning. I did weigh myself but I can't remember. I know that i was up. I got back from the wedding late last night -- around 1:30am and had to rush in the morning to get the kids lunchs and then head out for a doctor's appointment. No wonder i forgot.

Let's see what the scale says tomorrow.

I'm sure you 'll be down... Hope your Dr. appt went well.
You are right about my daughter is was great fun for her and she came home this morning. .She's been up since yesterday morning. LOL You are one very busy lady :). How was the wedding.?

I gained over the weekend a bit after eating out. then today woo hoo lost it and a bit more.. I am 170.8 lbs. finally broke the 171 mark... Now to keep it up.
We can do this.

oops.... I weighed in at 152.0 lbs! Hopefully it's the salt in all the foods I ate over the weekend and especially at the wedding.

I'll post more tomorrow. I just forgot to post earlier in the day and wanted to be held accountable.

Talk to you soon.

I hope it's just the salt. I over ate last night so I'm up to 172.8 lbs. :(. I'm sure when you check in next you will be down.... sometimes we just need that extra salt LOL.... Hope you are enjoying your week.
Daughter is home from Cuba. Now running around to get things done.

I'm busy here too.
I have a lot of running around to do today... I also have a Dr. appointment on the other side of the city. ANd he's never on time. my whole day will be spent there.

I have a mountain of stuff piling up that I need to do.

Weight is down... 150.5 lbs this morning. Yipee!!! But here comes the weekend and I am invited to a dinner party.....
Ah... summer.

You'll go down soon with your weight.

Talk to you soon.

lol
It's not even 10 in the morning and I've already had an eventful day. I'm tired and ready to call it a day. Where's the bed?

This morning i woke up to 150.0 on the scale. That's down 0.5 lbs. Hey... It's a step in the right direction!
Tomorrow I am going to In laws for a dinner party... I hope I don't over do it. I work all week to get it down to the weight that I was at only to gain some of it back. Oh the vicious cycle.

but it is summer time and all the parties are there to enjoy!
In fact, that was my goal. To be at a certain weight and then enjoy the summer and try to control it when I can and then reassess it again in the fall.
However, I was hoping to be 10 pounds less.

How are you doing?

I'm doing good.too. Yes, we try to lose to get ready to enjoy.... I think you'll do fine over the summer. I'm sure there will be times when you will not be so busy and lose more weight.. :)>

I'm having a busy morning already. Got my new pedometer watch Yeah.. Now I have to figure out how to get the steps for one day. I started it yesterday afternoon. it's still counting on that.. yet I have 7 days of memory... ??? oh well, will have to go threw the tips booklet to see what I can learn...
I'm down about 2 tenths.. not much but will keep trying.. Just been eating too many carbs... :(.

Hope you have fun at the In laws. Enjoy the weekend.

Walking was off this week. so far only 2x this week.. oh well.
Hope you are doing well.

Hello!!!!

I've been sooooo busy and, to top it off, my computer has been giving me a lot of problems.
DH and I got rid of a lot of 'stuff' on the harddrive and updated a few applications that have been neglected for a while... due to the fact that there has been no space left.
Anyways, yay, i think my computer is good now! Just in time for the ending of school and the umpteen projects to do and hand in.

So... my weight is 150.0 lbs! I'm very happy considering that my weight was low then went back up after the weekend and stayed up because I didn't care to curb my appetite and was eating everything in sight! Then... suddenly, without me even trying, I woke up on Sunday morning and I was about three pounds less! Crazy but it's got me back into focus!
DH is losing as well.... he is at his lowest in a very long time this morning. He is super excited. He also hopes that this will keep the inevitable at bay for a while.... diabetes! He's lost a lot in his girth and he looks good.

It's been so busy around here for the last few weeks and it doesn't look like things are going to slow down.
Two weekends ago, when it was my last post, I was about to head out to my inlaws for a party. Well.... it turns out that it was a surprise party for ME!!!!!! DH threw me a surprise B-day party and I was so in the dark about it! It was wonderful. THere was a lot of family and friends i haven't seen in a while and lost touch with. I was sosooooooo happy!!!!

There has been parties everyweekend so far and I've got to do my best to maintain. Of course i would like to be 10 lbs less but I don't know if I'll get there... that's why I wanted to be there before the summer hit. And it's all my fault.
I'm going to try my best.

We are already invited to another party on Father's Day.... this Thursday I've got a guest coming over for dinner who is in for two days from another country. Then my MIL is coming over for a two day conference on Friday. That's another weekend gone. When is my gardening going to get done? It's so neglected! I haven't even taken out the winter debris in two patches! I've got to spend the next few days cleaning up the mountain of washed clothes (but not folded) and the bedrooms and cook! At least downstairs is clean because I spent a few days last week putting away clutter and cleaning before MIL, FIL and BIL came over for the day. Of course they changed the plans and ended up coming a day earlier. Thank goodness that we had a lot of appointments so they were only ever on the main floor. I just closed the bedroom doors. But I have to get cracking as they are coming back this weekend and staying here.

I guess I can always garden on Sunday..... (unless we end up going to Buffalo for another family gathering). I really don't want to go. It would be worth my while if I could go on Saturday afternoon or evening but MIL will be here. She's not going until Sunday... in fact, that's why the gathering is on Sunday! It will be a late night for the kids... there are three weeks left of school and exams start three days after this trip to buffalo. Agh. I'm not going. DH and DS can go. I'll stay back with the girls and make sure that they are getting ready for their exams and are getting enough rest.

I want to be ten pounds less for sure by the time we head out to the states for a vacation and a wedding. The outfit I'm going to wear is a sexy one and I want to look good! Mind you I think I look good but I just want to get rid of that little extra that's hanging around my middle, butt and thighs.

Thanks for letting me vent/rant.... I need a place to put my thoughts.
I'm glad that you are maintaining. You are not gaining a lot even when you go out and eat salty foods! That's fantastic!!!!! This is how it should be.... maintain on the bad days and try to lose on the good days.

You have been so busy. It's great that you are doing so well with the eating. Congrats on the surprise Party.. That was wonderful.. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY. I'm glad you had a good time & were able to catch up with people. Boy you do have a lot going on this summer.. I'm sure you can lose most of the 10 lbs if not all of it by the wedding.. when is it? How much time do you have?
Good idea about staying home with the girls and getting them ready for finals... No problem about venting. I love reading all the things you've been up to. I think you are doing great with your weight with all the party's and family gatherings you've been going to.

As for me.... oh boy I've gained about 3 lbs since last week. I just can't stop eating. I don't know what's going on. I'm starting over today and trying to get back on track and started with a 10 min exercise dvd. Hoping all will go well. Last week or so I've been skipping on the exercise routine of 3 or more times a week. Trying to let my back feel better. So I figured I would try 10 mins this morning and see how it goes. maybe, if i feel ok I'll do more tonight. Just don't want to push it. I do hope this will help me sleep better then I won't want to eat so much junk. LOL.

Hmmmm..... gone up. How and why????
I guess a nutella doughnut at 11pm doesn't help, eh? lol

Agh... and so it begins again.

I've gone down again... is this called yo-yo dieting? lol !!!!

It's strange but my weight is going all over the place.
Today's weight is 150.5 lbs

10.5 lbs to go or 5.5 lbs to go... depending on where I want my goal to be.

Hmmmm..... today my weight is 151 or 151.5... I don't remember. Yesterday it was 152.5. I don't know what's going on. My weight is yo-yo-ing. It's never done this before that I can remember.

i think it's time to nip this in the bud and take the plunge! I have to start watching everything that goes into my mouth and measure and weight everything. Starting next week...lol
No, seriously, I have guests over and more guests coming over for dinner tonight. All guests should be gone by Saturday night. I want Sunday for myself... gardening.
Then on Monday I'll start!

How are you doing?
Funny... again... I was not around due to computer issues and you were here. Now I'm back and you're not. We've got to get out of this habit.
