WISH Check-IN Week of May 11

[Dizzy-Disney4]

Well, I've decided to weigh in once a month as my scale doesn't seem to move as fast as some and it tends to get me down. I'm locking it up so that I can't weigh in on a daily basis.

But I did want to post that everyone is doing so great!!!! I get so excited when I see how good everyone is doing!! You're all such a great bunch of losers!

Have a great week!

 

[KathiWithAnI]

Well after a week of strep throat and then a week of TOM.... I have finally lost again-- 3 lbs this week!!! YEAH!!

So 3 lbs since joining WISH and 13 lbs total!!
and congrats to eveyone else!!! Let's keep losing!

I maintained this week. No loss. But actually I'm very happy about that. I was worried I would gain after falling off the wagon this weekend.

Also, I'm starting induction in a week. I had read a few times on this board that you may not lose as much on Atkins if you had been doing a low cal diet before. So I decided that I might be better off trying to maintain for two weeks before starting induction.

This wasn;t my original plan, but once I realized that I probably wasn't losing, I adjusted my plan to fit reality. Tricky how I do that, huh?

 

[ohMom]

well my last WI was late last week, friday, usually I shoot for a Monday WI. Anyhow - I get up early to blast my 10 yr old DD out of bed, so I thought what the heck, I'll go to the Y and get my cardio out of the way! So I did WI this morning, before eating breakfast which may be the reason that I'm down .5 lbs

yea! I really was expecting no change or even up a lb or so with Aunt Flo stopping by this morning (she's quite the world traveler this week according to this thread) and a cheat night on Sunday.

so on the elliptical I was thinking that I could look at it two ways: 1) I can cheat rarely and lose slowly OR
2) I can resist the tempations and really stick to it and maybe just maybe hit my mini-goal!

C'mon guys - help me stick to my guns this month!!! I need to stay in pts everyday for the rest of this month - no cheat meals!

 

[lmhall2000]

WElllll, I lost 1 inch from my hips, .5 inch from my waist, .5 inch from my chest, .5 inch from my thighs, and .25 inches from my arms- still NOTHING from my calves- what's up with that???

And for the weigh in NOTHING!!!!! I knew this day would come- especially having a loss of 5 lbs last week- but I must admit I was a wee bit discouraged- so I whipped out my measuring tape (thanks Katholyn!!) and began noting some losses.

SO I'm gonna join all you losers in a big clippie dance to celebrate your losses and keep my eyes on the goal of 196 by September 23rd. We officially booked the Poly for our trip (first time ever there!) so I've got to start looking for those 1920's swim outfits- or whittle down these thighs!!!

On the good side- even with a cold I managed to walk 10 miles last week and TOM should be ending soon- so the BLOAT FAIRY better get off my back!! Okay, that's my post- off to the shower- I hear sloughing removes dead skin- maybe I'll lose a pound and weigh again tomorrow! Just kidding- see you all losers next week!!!

[FOJMO]

Gained 8/10 of a pound. Oh, well... not bad after a weekend in North Carolina and trying to stay on program away from home.

My real test will come in 2 weeks when I'm on the Disney Cruise!

 

[December99]

Well I remembered to weigh in this morning BEFORE getting in the shower and I had to do it 3 times - I think I need a new scale actually - and the first and last time it said the same thing (I really wasn't sure it was right so that's why I had to do it several times). It said I stayed the same. So I thought that was pretty good considering I did really bad this week eatingwise, wasn't able to get out much due to the weather and hectic schedule to get any exercise in the yard, and Aunt Flo was also here (and almost gone finally, man is she a pain the rear!!!!!). I usually gain 2-3 pounds with each visit so I now wonder what I would have really lost or if I would have stayed the same....but I'm happy that I didn't gain!!!!

Good luck to everyone this week and have a great week!!!!!!

 

[nicolep91]

Well, I weighed in a couple days early this week and low and behold, I lost another pound!! I'm back in the 130's (139, but hey, it makes me happy)! I officially have 10 more pounds to lose to reach my goal.

Now the hard part - keeping it off. I woke up late this morning and didn't exercise so I'm going to try to at least do my weightlifting this evening if I can't fit in my cardio since I did cardio yesterday. This pound gone is giving me some extra motivation!

Have a great day, everyone!

 

[aurora19]

I'm weighing in a day early 'cuz I leave for California tomorrow.

I'm down 1 more lb and I'm claiming my 5 lb clippie!

Have a great week everyone!

 

[Hannosmom]

Down 1/2 pound. Probably would have lost more if it hadn't been for the that mean Tiramisu on Mother's Day. BAD Tiramisu, BAD!

OK, it was really good! But I jumped right back on my wagon.

 

[Zoo Keeper]

Just back from my WW meeting. I'm down 1.5 lbs. That's a total of 8.5 lbs in two weeks! Yipee!!!!!!

And I started exercising last week!

Bravo to everyone for all your success (including just staying with your program)

Here's to another great week for all!

 

[anniet]

Gained 8/10 of a pound!

.

Can't say I didn't deserve it, but I hate it when I go to WW pay THEM money to tell me I gained!!! I want to pay to lose 1 pound each week, so if I want to get back on track now I need to lose 2.8 pounds bynext week. (the .8 I gained, the one I should have lost and the one I need to lose this week

)

And dambit I'm going to do it or die trying!

 

[kamgen]

Congrats to all the "losers" and all you gainers or turtles, keep up the hard work and don't lose your motivation! We are here for you!

As for me, I posted my situation on another post....but I did lose 1lb this week! Was hoping for 2, but this is better than nothing~ One more weigh in before I go to FL, so I hope to have a good week....but I don't know~!

Kamy

 

[Kabuli1]

Good Morning, all!

Well, I'm happy (but not really so happy) to announce that I'm down another 1.5#. I confess that my not so happiness stems from the fact that I have never lost this slowly in the past, and I am not sure that I can make my first goal of 10# by DS's graduation next week. Sigh. But, hey, it's in the right direction and it is a good amount, so, I am pleased. That's 7# so far! I confess, I was NOT perfect this week. But I'm checking out Curves and similar programs right now and that should help. My goal for this week is to have a perfect Induction week and add excercise - that may be hard cause I have to make a quick trip to Kentucky early next week then the next weekend we'll be in NY for graduation.

Well, Congrats to everyone, I'm off to have a tour of a fitness program! Cheers!

[glo]

I have been yoyoing all week...I was down to 129 on Monday, but weigh in today has me at 130.5 Either way it is some loss. Anyway I also measured and lost 1 inch overall, mostly in the tummy and chest. You know what I don't understand? I can stand to loose in the belly...LOTS, but come on now...the chest??? Geez, that is small enough as it is...


Anyway, congrats everyone!!!! Even if you didn't loose or move, you are all doing awesome getting healthy!!!

 

[TCKK]

I stayed the same. I'm not happy about that at all. But at least I didn't gain so I guess that's good. I was frustrated and blew it last night after weigh-in. But I got that out of my system and I'm back on track today, so we'll see what happens this week.

I'm not gonna quit no matter what.

 

[ahutton]

You may have seen in my please for help or suggestions that I weighed in and have gained 6 pounds since Friday. I'm praying very hard that this is a reaction to the medication they have me taking and that it falls right back off. I've worked so hard and seen so little success... Big sigh, and back on the bright side... I can do this.

 

[nativetxn]

Okay. Can anyone tell me how this thread got be 4 pages long already? Isn’t it <b>great</b>? I love seeing so much participation here on WISH I have been having trouble with my pc. Three times I started replying to this thread yesterday and suddenly the pc rebooted causing me to lose about 10 replies each time. Very frustrating. I fooled it though, I typed this in word and saved every reply as I typed. HA! So when it pulled that again twice this morning, I only lost like a paragraph or two, not the whole thing

<b>elisebutt</b> WOW! <i>Another</i> 4 pounds gone forever? Look at you go, cutie, you are tearing up that road to goal, aren’t you? And you did this eating a “few cheats”. You are absolutely amazing!

That 25 pound loss clippie is just so beautiful. I want one of those. I’m going to get me one, too, you just proved to me that I can do it. All I have to do is walk <b>5 miles a day???</b> You are one determined WISHer, aren’t you?

I’m so happy and proud for you, I hope you are feeling proud of <i>yourself</i>

<b>Sue & Co.</b> Awww, come on....can’t you get just a teeny bit excited about losing a pound? Keep this up and you will have lost 52 pounds in the span of a year. You lost the equivalent of 4 sticks of butter, tape that to a body part and you will appreciate what you accomplished this week.

<b>You lost one whole pound this week!!! That’s fantastic!!!</b>

Just think-- that is one less pound you have to lose now. You’d better be feeling proud of yourself. You are doing great and <i>I’m</i> proud of you. So is everyone else here on WISH. You are <b>succeeding.</b> You are on your way to goal. Savor your success, it’s fun to do that

<b>becka</b> Way to go!!!!! WOW, 3 more pounds gone forever. What a success you are, look how well you are doing. That new clippie is almost in your siggie already.

Don’t you feel proud? Don’t you feel strong? Isn’t that just the greatest feeling? I’m just so proud of you, sweetie. You are doing so well and you just won’t give up. What a wonderful example you are for me. You keep this up and you will be at goal in no time at all.

<b>Jiminy102</b> WOO HOO!!! Look at you go, cutie. You are just hurrying along to goal, aren’t you? Another 1.5 pounds gone forever and only 2 pounds away from a new clippie. You’re going to be trading up to that 20 pound clippie very, very soon, I’m sure of it.

You are such a wonderfully motivating presence here on WISH. I know you help keep me motivated everday. Thank you, sweetie. I appreciate you very much.

<b>FergieTCat</b> You sure are calm, aren’t you? No WOO HOO, no YIPPEE, just said it all calmly. I would have been so excited to lose 4.5 pounds in one week that I would have been bouncing all over the place. In fact, I <i>am</i> bouncing all over the place just because I’m so excited for you.



I’m a little old to be bouncing around like this but <i>someone</i> had to do some bouncing. This is exciting news, my friend. You did a <b>great</b> job this week. Don’t you feel proud? Look how determined and motivated you are and how steadily you are working your way to goal. I’m sure proud of you, Donna. I’m happy for you too

You reached a WW goal <i>and</i> you earned yourself one of those pretty gold clippies. It’s just gorgeous. Way to go!

<b>Mskanga</b> Why, that stinkin bloat fairy No worries, that fluid will go away in a while and you will be showing a loss, I’m sure.

Just don’t give up my friend. You’re doing great. Don’t feel bad about that teeny gain, it isn’t a true gain, it will go away. Hang in there, you’re doing great!

<b>CrzyforPiglet</b> That’s great! You’ve lost another 2.5 pounds and you are only 1 pound away from one of your goals. Not only that but that 20 pound loss clippie is practically your’s already.

Look at you go! It’s a great feeling isn’t it? You are strong, determined and motivated and you are keeping <i>me</i> motivated too. I’m so happy and proud for you. I sure hope you are feeling proud of yourself. Keep it up gorgeous, you are on your way to goal and you are doing great!

<b>Kelsie</b> I’m all tuckered out from all that bouncing I did for Donna, but I’ve got to tell you--you should be celebrating the fact that you maintained your weight this past week. It is an excellent sign. You didn’t <i>gain</i> you maintained. That is proof that when you have finished losing all you want to lose you will be able to keep it off.

You know what? I know that maintaining your weight is not as much fun as losing but it’s a <i>heck</i> of a lot more fun than gaining. Get to walking and you’ll get to losing more quickly, again.

Hang in there, my friend. You are doing great. You are making progress. Step up your exercise and you will be making progress more quickly, just the way you like it

<b>FantasticDisFamily</b> I <b>like</b> your attitude. I lost about 20 pounds before I took the WISH challenge and then lost nothing for the entire month of February. Then I started losing again, then I stopped again. Taking my measurements helped keep me from giving up.


You will start losing again, just stick with your plan and don’t give up. Maintaining your weight is a good thing, especially when you compare it to gaining

<b>Tink33</b> What a great example you are for me, Lesley. You are being careful not to regain all of the weight you lost. Sounds like you found a wonderful buffet, too bad there isn’t one of those in Michigan.

There is nothing better than knowing that you have motivated someone to become more healthy. You have helped keep all of us here on WISH motivated and now you know you have helped others too. I’m really proud of you, sweetie

<b>TidoublegaER</b> Losing .8 pounds is a significant loss. If you lost .8 pounds each week for one year you would lose 41.6 pounds. That’s a significant loss.

You are doing great. Don’t obsess with the timeline. Be proud that you are motivated, determined and successful. You <i>are</i> successful, too, never doubt that for a minute. You are making progress. I’m proud of you.

<b>airhead</b> WOO HOO, airhead!!! Another two pounds gone forever. You’ve lost almost 30 pounds what a great feeling that must be.

I love your enthusiasm and sense of humor. You help keep me smiling and that’s so important when you are trying to lose weight. I appreciate that very much.

I’m proud of you, you are doing so well. Be proud of yourself.

<b>maryliz</b> Way to go!!! Another pound gone forever. What a wonderfully positive attitude you have, maryliz, what a great example you are for me.

You know what? I have a confession. <i>I have no idea what reaching onederland</b> means. I know...I keep congratulating people for reaching onederland and I don’t even know what it is. Heck, people are always happy about it, I figured it was a good thing </i>

<i><b>So...MaryLiz...will you tell me what it means?</b></i>

<b>geetey</b> Another 2.5 pounds gone forever <i>and</i> you earned a new clippie. It’s just gorgeous, so shiny and new

You are such an inspiration to us all, you are just steadily working toward goal and you are a great success. I’m proud of you...so I hope that you are feeling proud of <i>yourself</i>.

<b>SandraC</b> Good job, my sweet Canadian friend. You are determined and you are making progress! Only one pound away from that 5 pound loss clippie. It’s practically in your siggie already.

I know you experienced some frustration a few months ago. I’m just so proud of you for taking control, staying motivated and doing so well. Be proud of yourself, you are a <b>success</b>.

<b>Kimnicki</b> Look at you go! 7 pounds gone forever in just one week. That’s success! That’s progress! That’s impressive It’s a great feeling, isn’t it?

Where is your new clippie? Didn’t you have this weigh in after you took the challenge? If you did, then you’ve earned a new clippie. Let me know if you need help adding it to your signature.

I’m so happy and proud for you. Your determination is showing and you are helping me stay motivated.

<b>lynr</b> Welcome back, we missed you. If you think about it, I imagine you know that the weight you “gained” isn’t a true gain. I think it’s probably just fluid retention (no one is safe from the bloat fairy). You will lose those 3 pounds and more very soon.

You are back home and back on WISH and you are going to be fine, honest. You will lose this weight in no time at all. I promise. You are going to do great.

<b>susan514</b> Maintaining your weight is a good thing. It’s not as much fun as losing but a heck of a lot more fun than gaining. Plus, you are proving to yourself that you will be able to keep the weight off when you have finished losing.

Now, give us a smile...you have a lovely smile You’re doing just fine. I went the entire month of February without losing anything, even though I never veered off plan. I know how frustrating it can be. The whoosh fairy will be visiting one of these days and you will lose several pounds “overnight” it just seems to be one of those Atkins phenomenons.

Have you measured yourself? I find that when I’m not losing pounds, that I am losing inches. Another Atkins phenomenon. Measure yourself if you haven’t done so already. Honest, it helps a lot to know you are growing smaller even if you aren’t getting lighter

<b>Debbie</b> Another 1.5 pounds gone forever and you are sneaking up on that 35 pound loss clippie. You are just such a success at this weight loss stuff. I’m really proud of you.

You are a ray of sunshine here on WISH. You are always quick to welcome our newcomers and to help the newbies feel at home. I love your kindness, it shines through in your words.

Good job this week, sweetie. You are on your way to goal.

<b>tiggerlover</b> I think it’s great that you are breaking that habit of sneak weighing. It’s a good lesson to learn What a great feeling it is to see another 2 pounds gone forever. But being so close to one of your goals and only one pound away from that 25 pound clippie has to be a marvelously positive experience.

You are a good example for me. I’m really glad you are part of my support group, you help me stay focused everyday.

I’m very happy and proud for you. Be proud of yourself.

<b>Dizzy-Disney4</b> Sometimes I think I should do that, too. Only weigh myself once a month. It sure would cut down on the frustration of not losing when you have worked so hard and been so good.

Remember that maintaining your weight is so much better than gaining and it is a positive sign that you are internalizing these changes you are making in your eating habits. Now you know that you will be able to keep this weight off when you have lost all you want to lose.

I’m so proud of you for looking for and finding a solution to this particular challenge you are facing. What a great example you are for me.

<b>KathiWithAnI</b> That’s a terrific loss for one week. Three pounds are gone forever, what a great feeling.

You are getting closer to trading up your clipart, too. I’m so proud of you, I really am, so I hope you are proud of yourself. I don’t think you’re meaner than Mean Laureen, I think you both are just a couple of loveable kitty cats (YIKES, the word filter replaced my first choice of words with asterisks). Good job this week. Keep it up and you will be at goal in no time at all.

<b>PadisMOM</b> How clever you are to find a way to solve a challenge. I’m proud of you. Maintaining your weight is excellent. You are correct, if you have been counting calories and/or eating low fat you could lose more slowly on Atkins.

I’m anxious to see how you like Atkins and I hope you see even more success following that plan. Keep me posted?

<b>ohMom</b> Congratulations on losing another .5 pounds. What a wonderful attitude you have, Molly. So determined, so motivated. I think it’s great.

We will help you stick to your guns, sweetie. That’s what we are here for–helping

Hang in there, you are on your way to goal.

<b>lmhall2000</b> Very good! Seeing that you are getting smaller is even better than seeing that you are getting lighter. Afterall, that’s what we are aiming for, right? Who cares what the scale says if you can wear a size 8?

I’m really proud of you. You maintained your weight and lost 2.75 inches. That’s <i>success</i> that’s wonderful progress. Be proud of yourself, I’m proud of you. I’m really glad that you are here with me on WISH, Tara. You help keep me motivated.

<b>FOJMO</b> You were away from home and still lost .8 pounds? That’s awesome! Don’t you think that those .8 pounds are fluid retention? I’ll bet they are, you will be losing that fluid soon and the scale will be moving downward again.

Hang in there. I’m proud of your determination and I’m proud of you so I hope you are proud of yourself.

<b>December99</b> You must not have had nearly as bad a week as you thought, if you maintained your weight. You must be subconsciously controlling your portions. What an accomplishment! I hope you are feeling proud of yourself for doing that, I’m certainly proud of you.

I’ll bet you show a loss next week, sweetie. Hang in there!

<b>nicolep91</b> Look at you! You’ve reached one of your mini goals and you are only 10 pounds away from your final goal. Your determination and motivation are really paying off.

What a wonderfully positive feeling it must be to know that you set a goal and are reaching it. You have done so well with this. I’m really proud of you. You certainly help keep me motivated.

<b>aurora19</b> WOO HOO!!! Another pound gone forever and you have a shiny new clippie. You are <i>good</i> at this weight loss stuff.

Have a great time in California, I imagine you have left by now. Stay safe and have as much fun as possible.

<b>Hannosmom</b> I sure hope that Tiramisu was delicious enough to make it worth getting knocked out of ketosis Just jump right back into induction and start over, you will be back in ketosis in a few days.

I think it’s great that you lost ½ pound, even though you ate off plan foods. You must have controlled your portions very well. You still made progress, isn’t that wonderful? You are on your way to goal, you are in control and you are succeeding. Good job!

<b>Zoo Keeper</b> Good job! Another 1.5 pounds gone forever. Losing 8.5 pounds in two weeks is quite an accomplishment. You are going to be trading up to that 10 pound loss clippie any minute now, I just know it.

You are doing great. Now that you have added exercise you are going to move even more quickly along the road to goal. You are such a success and I’m very proud of you. Be sure and feel proud of yourself.

<b>anniet</b> YIKES!! Those angry smilies are scary looking. Don’t be so upset, gaining .8 pounds is not the end of the world. In fact, I’m going to guess that weight isn’t even a true gain. I’ll bet you are retaining fluid because you ate off plan foods. It will be gone soon. I’ll bet you 50 cents that it is gone by next weigh in <i>and</i> along with the fluid you will also lose at least a pound, probably two pounds.

Stop being angry with yourself for not being faithful to your eating plan. That happened in the past and you know what the bylaws say about that, we don’t worry about history–we only concern ourselves with <i>right now</i>. Right now you are in control and you are making wise food choices. We can’t change the past, why waste your energy feeling guilty or angry? Useless emotions, both of them.

Okay, sweet Annie, take a deep cleansing breath and blow it out. Now go look in a mirror...are you looking in a mirror? Good, now repeat after me, “I am beautiful inside and out. I am in control and determined to stay in control. I will <b>succeed</b> in reaching my goal because I am a WISHer and that’s what we do, we <b>succeed</b>!”

You <i>are</i> going to succeed you know, I have no doubts about that, your friends here on WISH are going to help you.

<b>kamgen</b> You <i>hope</i> to have a good week? Don’t you mean that you <i>intend</i> to have a good week? I thought so

Sometimes you remind me of myself, so much, Kamy. If I lose 1 pound I wish it had been 2, if I lose 2 pounds I wish it had been 3, I don’t know why I’m so impatient with myself.

You are making progress and you are succeeding. You are on your way to goal and you have a whole week to make more progress before your next trip. Sounds to me like you are doing great. I hope thinking about how successful you have been here on WISH makes you smile and realize how determined and motivated you are about this. It makes me smile to watch your progress and it makes me proud of you too. Be proud of yourself.

<b>Kabuli1</b> I think losing 1.5 pounds in one week is progress, my friend. Much better than <i>gaining</i> 1.5 pounds don’t you think? You’ve lost 7 pounds all together, that is excellent progress. That is <b>success</b>! You may be a pound or two shy of your mini goal of losing 10 pounds for your son’s graduation but you will be significantly smaller on that special day.

I am very proud of you. Don’t let a timeline get you discouraged. We are all learning new healthy eating habits and if we are lucky we will all have a very long time to eat this new way. Just keep on keeping on and don’t give up. You can do this, I know you can. Now, put a smile on that pretty face of yours and be <i>proud</i> of yourself! You are doing <b>great</b>!

<b>glo</b> See what happens when you sneak weigh? It’s can get pretty discouraging and frustrating. You know as well as I do that our bodies have fluid fluctuations. So, you gained 1.5 pounds of fluid, you know you have stayed on plan and not deviated. You know you have been working out like a maniac, <i>surely</i> you know that the +1.5 pounds you saw on your scale doesn’t represent a true gain. I mean, think about it.

And <i>now</i>, you are unhappy because you don’t like the locations where you are losing inches. Geez, sweetie, lighten up. You are a wonderful <b>success</b>, you have made such inspirational progress along the road to goal. You keep every single one of us inspired to exercise more, motivated to stay strictly on plan and confident that we can accomplish our goals.

You need to forget about that scale for a while and just savor your terrific success. Trust me, when you get off the plane at MCO they will <i>not</i> announce, “glo is here, her bust measurement is smaller than last trip and she <i>thought</i> she weighed 129 but she really weighs 130.5. Please direct your attention to that really cute, short female person with the sad eyes, can’t you tell the difference? Please use the white courtesy phone to tell the operator how terrible that extra 1.5 pounds looks on her.”

Okay, now, give us a smile...<i>come on</i>...give us a smile. Glo, you can do better than that...okay, that’s <b>much</b> better. Stop worrying about some timeline and enjoy your success. You are doing so well, try to be proud of yourself. Everyone one of <i>us</i> is proud of you.

<b>TCKK</b> Are you picking on me again? Is that a sad smilie I see there in your post? Why? Why are you sad? I just need you to explain it to me. I know that maintaining your weight isn’t as much fun as losing but it is a heck of a lot more fun than <i>gaining</i> . Not only that but it is a sign of success. If you veered off plan you must have made wise food choices and controlled your portions without even thinking about it because you didn’t <i>gain</i> anything.

That tells me that you are making progress. That tells me that you are a <b>success</b>. Now, stand up straight and be proud, you are doing great. And 86 those sad smilies, save them for something that isn’t as positive as maintaining your weight.

Okay, put a smile on that sweet face of yours and be proud of yourself, everyone here on WISH is proud of you, especially me.

I don’t weigh in until tomorrow. My rings are very tight on my fingers today and you know what that means. The bloat fairy really, really loves me Oh joy

Congratulations to all of you who lost even one ounce this week, be proud of your success. If you showed a gain, don’t beat yourself up about it and don’t give up, you will lose that weight, it is just going to take you a week or two longer than you hoped. If you maintained your weight this week remember that is a sign of success and proof that when you finish losing all the weight you want to lose you will be able to keep from gaining it back again. I think that’s a pretty good sign of success

[kamgen]

Katholyn~ You are great! Thanks for the kind words!!!!! You are so right!

Kamy

 

[Meriweather]

Katholyn..............you are my hero

I'm sorry, I just can't write like that
But, I have read all the posts.
Congratualtions to all that lost weight and also those that stayed the same (I think that is good) and those that resisted tempting goodies (my hardest obstacle).
For those that gained.......only a temporary set back. You'll be back on track, trying harder than ever.
I know when that happens to me, it makes me mad, and I'm more determined than ever to get that extra....and more off for the next week.
