Monday weigh-in...

Hey Derek,

We can do it, like you said look forward not back. Let's make this a good week for both of us!
Bloody cravings, I will own you.... ha ha ha

Cindy

I have my salad for lunch on Pot-Luck day here at work. I'm on the right track!

Excellent choice !

Ohhhh I looved those assorted chocolate boxes, the chocolate covered cherries, the caramel quality streets, etc... Christmas is a very tempting time...Chocolate is everywhere, really hard to resist... but you ate them slowly instead of all at a time, and got back on track after, that's what counts... Hey, you DID reach the 250!! Congrats!

It didn't even occure to me that I reached 250. Thanks for pointing it out. Makes me feel better !!!

Bonjour Diane!
Congrats on the new size 6 purchase and the size small tops. What an amazing feeling it must be to have lost so much in so little time. Also a big congrats on maintaining your weight these last few weeks.

Keep up the great work.

For me, the routine continues. One good week. One bad week. One good week. One bad week. and last week was a bad week and the last 2 days have been bad too. The cravings started to creep back in and it's harder to get started again. As crazy as it may sound, I have gained roughly 7 pounds ( I didn't weigh myself on Monday out of fear). Probably mostly water weight but I'm still not proud of myself. So this morning I'm back on it and looking forward and not back. I know these temptations will come in but I know I have to get back on it before it's too late.

Here's to a better week this week gang! 

Derek

Thanks Derek. Don't be too hard on yourself, what you try to do is really difficult, and being aware of what you eat and making smarter choices for food is a great pre-op exer**** Don't let go, continue to work toward your goal!

as they say keep your eye on the prize.  Don't be too hard on yourself xmas is a very hard time before you know it it will be Jan 2 and then you will be back completely on track.  You can do it. We are all struggling together.  Did you hear anymore from Montreal..    Doris  QC.

Hi gang! My week has been crazy! We didn't have the snow storm but lot's of rain which caused flooding and road washouts and we were called in to evacuate citizens and help out with the emergency measures that was put in place. Despite all the work I am kinda proud of myself as I managed to keep myself on tract and made good food choices despite all the fast food that was supplied to the workers. I also stayed on tract with my maintenance. I am between 149-151 lbs.
I am going to collectively congratulate everyone on the successes this week and my support and encouragement goes out to those who are facing some of their challenges.
I had a major victory today that I wanted to share. I got the ok to get on the treadmill from the cardiologist and I did this morning and didn't panic with fear of having heart failure when I pushed the cardio. I managed to do 3miles per hour for 20 minutes with 5% incline altering to 10% with one minute intervals during the last five minutes. Just wanted to share .
Have a great week.....I am going to sleep for the next few days . Happy shovelling....

I am so happy for you Brenda that you got the ok for treadmill!!! It means that your heart is going better and that you could get it even better with exer****s! Congrats!
