Great post Suz!! One of the side effects that I have experienced since surgery is forgetfulness!! I was going to do the mmwi before leaving home but I got up late and then when I got to work I was going to do it but guess what....they have me working at work lately!! lol And then my reminders popped up and I saw I had a 10 am dr's appt and ran out and then by the time I got back to work, posting was gone out the window. I too will always post as you guys can see...even when I have had very big gains I always come back and post and it does help to keep me in line and you ladies are very encouraging and the support does me good. So I am not going anywhere at all either! See ya Monday if not sooner!!

HW 327 SW 322 LW 171.2 CW 172.4 man, yesterday was hectic...this is the first time I believe I did not post my weekly weight before the end of Monday!! Wowsers!! oh well....see ya next week.

Hi Ladies! I read still, but don't post much. Just wanted to let you know I am here and having some scale issues myself. I am bouncing between 155-160. Today my weight was up 3 pounds from 3 days ago (159 this morning.) It definitely makes me feel panicked, especially with my recent late night binging is showing its ugly self again. I am trying to make good choices when I give in, like watermelon, tomatoes, avacados, lunch meat, etc. but it is still eating when I should be done for the day. I have eaten TWO mini meals tonight since dinner! UHG! I think it is the opposite of Holly. I am so busy during the school year, I sometimes forget to eat. Now during the summer, I boredom eat I think. Plan for the rest of this week (Tuesday-Thursday since we are leaving for vacation Thursday night): Less than 2000 calories a day Journal on Fitday every day Drink at least 64 oz of water every day Take all vitamins every day Exercise atleast 20 minutes everyday. I'll let you know if I meet my goals or not! Wish me luck on the big Disney Vacation!!! Belle Holly- Sorry about the allergic reaction. Yuck! My son just had his kindergarten shots, but not trips to the ER TG! Janie- My oldest did that kindergarten schedule. I loved it. Our school only offers full day, every day kindergarten now. I think it might be too much from my son. We'll see!

Girl..your message didn't sound at all negative! LOL. I just tend to think that is so easy for us to become complacent with our eating and exercise and what ever...it's so easy to "fall off of the wagon" and not want to share that fact with others. I know that with the slightest gain I feel like a huge loser...and not in a good way! I think that we all need a rah-rah or kick in the pants at one time or another.

I agree w/ Holly Suz you look great and are thin. So, 3 lbs sounds like it wouldn't hurt you at all. Do you have a window that you want to stay in, like 140-145? I would say just try to stay in that window. There could be many things why you gained 3 lbs. It could just be water, that time of the month, swelling from the heat? But I am like you, I'm afraid 3 is going to turn into 30 like it did before surgery. BUT we have the knowledge and tool to stick to this for life and we will win!!!!
