Patrick Im very impressed that you have the stamina to keep working out for 3 hours. Of course Ive got a lot more years on this body but Im so glad that you are taking care of yourself while you are still young. Great JOB!! Have a fantastic time at camp.
Allison Welcome Back!!! Im sorry life is hectic for you now, but even when things are going all kabluie around us we still need to find a couple of minutes for ourselves. Even if you only have a couple of minutes to post what youve eaten it will help you keep on track. Of course I say this after having a weekend of falling off the wagon so Im pulling myself back up and logging ALL food today.
Michele Im right there with you on the carbs. Ive tried doing without but DANG its hard.
Cary Im so sorry about your tooth issues. I hope it heals quickly and you are able to get back to solid foods. But looking at the silver lining, -3 lbs is fantastic!
Elizabeth While fuzzy math can help us plan our vacation trips it really sucks when it backfires on the weight. At least you now have a starting point. I think your rationalization for getting the Wii is totally rational. We dont have one, but Ive heard others rave about being able to exercise at home. If you guys do decide to try out for Biggest Loser we will be right here rooting you on! I think having a contestant in a wheelchair would be a fantastic inspiration both to those in chairs and those of us who are fully able to work out, but could use the extra motivation.
Julie you are really rocking that weight loss!! I think a new pair of shoes are definitely in order. I think with WW anytime you lose more that 2 lbs (except for your first week) youll get that message. If you were to skip a week and then enter in a large number it would probably appear as well. If it were a constant thing it would be one thing, but since it averages out it shouldnt worry you.
Tricia (2) WELCOME!!! We are going to need to come up with a qualifier since we have two Tricias. Youve joined a great group. Your family is so cute. I love the picture where your DH seems to be strangling your DS (that is so something that our family does when taking a picture). While I may have visited Skinny island (when I was 5) Ive only seen it from a distance since then, but it is coming Oh so much closer.
Barb Sounds like you have a busy week ahead of you. Im sure youll love visiting your family but as I can attest from last weekend, family can be exhausting. Good luck for trying to make the best choices possible.
Tricia (1) WOW Im impressed that you would sign up for an accelerated class. I can only imagine how much work they are cramming into that class and online too so you really have to be self motivated to do the work. I think keeping track in a notebook is a great idea. Even if you cant log the exact calories, just knowing what you are eating will help.
Michelle Next week will be your week. 1 ounce is so totally doable. Onederland is in your future!
Sharon Congratulations on DGDs birthday not eating cake is a huge accomplishment (at least it would be for me).
Aimee Im sorry your sisters situation is getting more complicated. At least knowing that she was moved to another hospital where they can really watch over her should be a little comfort. I would totally be with you on the stress eating. Im glad at least that your family is nearby and supportive. Good thoughts and pixie dust will continue to be sent to Texas.
As I said above this weekend was not good food wise. We went to a BBQ on Saturday and I just had NO control over my fork. Two helpings of Baked Beans and potato salad, lots of chips and dip... Then on Sunday I had two pieces of cake (we didn't eat it on saturday so it was just sitting there) and a lot of munching. Today I'm doing much better.
Breakfast - Raisin Bran w/ff milk
Lunch - Spinach salad with hb egg (1/2 yolk) raisins and balsamic dressing
Snack - Orange & Activia yogurt
Dinner - TBD
I'm already done with 3/4 of my water so getting back into the swing of things there as well.
Weigh in - well after I got back from my trip I weighed myself and I was so excited about the loss that I had, guess what I did? Yup, I blew it this weekned. Well not totally, but I did gain. Luckily I still have a loss to post. I'm
-2.4 from the last weigh in for a grand total of 5.6!!!! FINALLY I'LL GET MY PALM TREE!!!!
I was seriously wondering if that would ever happen. Onward and downward....
I'm so sorry to hear about everything going on with your sister. I know you're worried but please don't forget to care for yourself in this very stressful time. You will be no good to anyone if you get sick or run-down. We'll be here for you if you need us.

The family and I went to Cedar Point for the weekend. To make a long story short, I had NO will power. NONE! I also had so much sun that I have blisters on my shoulders. I am so sore, I chose not to go to the gym today (sports bra would be a killer)
: I hope your shoulder starts feeling better soon!
I did some emotional eating last weekend, I thought my best friend was furious at me and I thought I had screwed up some of the best things I had going in my life, and I took it out on myself. Stopped at Dairy Queen on the way back to my apartment at college! 
Ice cream and fries, not good! But at least I still lost this week. And all's good with my friend and me!
