Friday - Check in Day

Hey! It is Tuesday better late than never. I did good last week but I did gain 1 pound water weight, ladies you know what I am talking about. I am glad it was just a pound cause it usually is exactly 4 so I am up to 161. My goal last week was to keep up with my vitamins and water and I feel I did good. Same goal this week, I want to do things slowly. Annette 324/291/161

Annette, I'm glad you posted too. No set rule on when you need to post, just sometime during the week is great. Sounds like you did well. The water weight will drop right off and I bet you will definitely see a loss this week. I agree, going slowly is good. Mary

Hi Mary: This could either be this comming friday's check in or last weeks. Either way I thought I would participate. I am visiting the boards more often lately, but was off for a long time. I never hit my goal weight and and I am up 20pds from my lowest weight. I am taking drastic measures. I had gotten back on the diet coke but this Saturday will mark 3 weeks without carbination. It's been harder than I thought. I still crave diet coke. I am actually doing nutra system with the approval of my physician. It's horrible but I think it will kick me back into gear. I have slipped into so many of my old habits. I never thought I'd have to go on a diet program again. Oh well, if it works so be it. Good to see you on the board. Still struggling, Eileen

Eileen, Glad to see you posting too. Congratulations on staying away from the Diet Coke. I only take a few swallows now and then, it sure doesn't taste like I remember so usually just have some of Hal's when My throat is scratchy from allergies. You don't like the Nutri-System food? We did it a few years ago and both Hal and I felt it was really good. They may have changed it tho cause now it is low glycemic and that could definitely change the ingredients. I really like that they are doing low glycemic. It allows you to eat good carbs. I agree, if it helps to get you back on track it is worth it. Remember, we are here for you. So post any time you need encouragement or just want to vent. Mary

HI to everyone I am setting my weekly goal to at least getting to the gym 3 times, and drinking my water, which I have not been able to do, I have been choosing cafe lattés instead , and also I want to not forget to take my vitamins Albert
