DS and DSF (fiancee) are here for the weekend and having just come back from our trip I didn't plan well for having food in the house/making dinner. It was pizza Friday night and Chinese take out last night. I tried portion control but I'm kicking myself all over the house as I have to be weighed tomorrow AND again on Wednesday. I'm pretty sure I'll be down at least a couple of lbs since the last visit but still I know I could have done better. Silly me, it's supposed to be all about my blood work but of course it's ingrained in me that it's all about the weight I hope everyone has a good day!

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I'm the same Smedley, I had a shocker of a week and I did reluctantly weigh this morning and I'd put on about a kilo! Ugh!! Not impressed that I can be good for 2 weeks and lose about that much, then eat poorly for one week and bring it all right back on... I know it's mostly water weight since I only had about 3 glasses on Saturday and I'm used to 3 litres! So I'm going to be good this week and see what happens on Monday... Oh, and I've given Mum $100. If by the time September rolls around I've hit my weight loss goal, I get the $100 back just in time to spend at Disneyland. If not, the money goes to charity. Hopefully the motivation will help... if not, it goes to a good cause anyway!

Originally Posted By smedley Never be ashamed to come here Tand, no judgement, no repercussions, just lots of love and support. Labuda, congrats on being able to get back to working out, I felt the same way about going for my first run on Friday, then the weather was so hot I didn't do any more over the weekend! Hopefully next weekend will be better suited

Originally Posted By Mary Poppins Well, I've gained back 2 pounds. Knew I would. And I baked orange buttermilk oatmeal muffins for lunch and then I went and ate 3! I'm glad we're a NO GUILT group. It helps me to hear that others are in the same position as me. This weight-loss isn't a one-way process.

Originally Posted By Tinkeroon Well, count me in with that group! I have put on two pounds! Mostly the problem is we've been eating out too much instead making good nutritious meals at home. And not getting the exercise I should. Really HAVE to get back on with the exercise. Yesterday's dinner out was a good one but it isn't always that way. And we have a benefit dinner to go to tonight! They are serving ribs!! And coleslaw! I'm doomed.

She said that watching my numbers has led her to believe that exercise needs to be my main health "friend" for the rest of my life. NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I seriously HATE it. I'm OK with what I do now, walking 1/2 hour and Wii Fit for 15 minutes but it's never a "oh yay" moment, more like an "oh crap" moment when I remember I need to do it. I didn't get weighed today but did weigh at home and I'm up 3 lbs from my low of a couple of weeks ago. Oh well. Food wise I've been good today. I got to be a fill in the gap babysitter for my nieces 3 year old while she was/is in the hospital waiting for baby #3 to arrive I had a blast with the little guy and had NO time to even think about snacking boy is that a busy age.

Sometimes these things happen! Although I don't LOVE exercise Labuda, I know what you mean - having been sick and not done any exercise for 2 weeks I was thrilled when I finally did some weights and sit-ups and walking, even though my chest infection is still there and I didn't feel that great after... it just felt good DOING something for a change! Congrats on being able to exercise again!
