I will keep the 5 lbs to play with in mind and work on not being so hard on myself...but I also know the last few weeks I have been so off the wagon that I earned this gain..so it is back on track for me...at least trying my best to get there. LOL

Hey everyone, I'm a little late in checking in. Had a bad time with migraines lately. HW 270 SW 255 LW 140.6 CW 142 Up 1.4 poo. Oh well need to get back on track I too have found things falling into my mouth this last week. Anna

Hi Anna; You and I both are jumping on the get back on track wagon!! We can do it!

Okay Stephanie I had a strange week last week and didn't post. Last week, I swear that I suddenly lost a dress size. Every thing went baggie, so I tried clothes, bras, etc on and they were all loose. WooHOoo! so the next morning I jumped on my scale and it said that I had gained 6 pounds! But since it is one of those that measure body fat and muscle weight, it said that I had LOST 2% of my body weight and that 4 pounds of that weight gain was muscle. What? I was kind of freaking out about the whole thing and even pestered the doctor about it when I went in for my B12 shot--LOL. He did tell me that if I gained that much muscle that the other two pounds was probably swelling. Today, I weigh another 1% less on my body fat and another pound higher on my total muscle weight? Maybe I should never have gotten this scale!?! LOL HW 368 SW 367 LW 214 CW 213 Is it possible to laugh weight off? Katy

Katy- I just got one of those scales and plan on starting to use it soon- is your Tanita? Hello everyone... Finally back from Disneyworld with Grandma and the triplets and am happy to say I didn't gain while I was there- and considering the wine I had every night and the bigger meals I am very happy. The bad news is that I'm still out of my window- I'm at 133 and was at 126. I would like to stay between 125 and 130. So I need to lose a few pounds- but that's okay- I'm not freaking out yet. My exercise needs to be upped cuz I am getting really flabby and my clothes are getting tighter in different spots. Janie and Belle and Lori- glad to hear you are all recovering- sounds like it was a rough road for Janie and Lori- I'm still keeping you in my prayers... Take care- Holly

Holly, I am glad you are back safe and sound. It is impressive that you did not gain. You will get back below 130 very quickly, I am sure. And yes, my scale is a Tanita. My doc uses one but his is huge and I know it cost a fortune compared to my little Target purchase. Hugs, Katy

Hey - how was it taking the triplets to the Disney?? I bet crazy.How old are they? Did you guys have fun. It's so common to gain after vacation, and you really didn't do bad, so give it a couple of weeks and you'll be back down!

That sounds exciting Katy!! Keep up the good work and I think it is possilbe to laugh off weight!! Maybe I should laugh more often!

No worries, Steph, you'll get it in gear. The first step is owning up to the "problem"...I know those lemon cookies and i agree that they ARE the DEBBBIIILLLL... Here are my stats... HW 242 LW Haven't been checking in CW 115 lbs Still losing but I went to the Dr yesterday and he gave me some Reglan to empty my tummy and help with the nausea and yuckiness I've been feeling. It didn't work last night, but this morning I was able to eat a bowl of cereal, which is the most I've eaten in several weeks...so that's a positive sign. I am getting stonger and healthier each day. God is good!! All the time! Lori
