Another dud week. I had such high hopes and of course when you are expecting a loss the scale stays the same. Well it went down .2 pounds from 188.7 to 188.5 but I am less than thrilled. I did not get to walk yesterday and I am pretty pissed off about it AND I went to a BBQ where I made very good food choices but I am very bloated this morning. My hands feel really puffy and I need to poop LOL so I guess it is better to see a small loss rather then a gain. What really stinks is that I weighed fully dressed on Friday at the doctor and was 189 so I was convinced I would have a great loss this week. BAH.

I hope you all had great results!

Well .2 is better then a gain!

And that's exactly what I saw... I've been feeling bloated so I figured it wasn't going to be pretty. Weight was 196 pounds this morning. I was hovering around 192 so things are headed in the wrong direction - this week it's getting serious about eating well and getting my work out in!

Sorry about your gain. I am glad you are getting serious this week. Did you know that a 10 pound weight loss no matter what weight you are can help you concieve? I read that once and started gaining like crazy LOL. Good luck this week!

I had a .5 gain. Ugh! I feel like I am just stuck. I wanted to lose 4 lbs this month and that isn't happening. My birthday is in 2 weeks and that was my mini goal.

I did begin the 5 Day Pouch Test today. Not necessarily to lose weight but to try and get me more focused. I am hoping it helps get me in a better path of limiting carbs and concentrating on protein, good carbs, and no sugar. We will see.

I feel like the last 15 pounds I need to get off are never going to leave me. I think my body LOVES that jiggle on my gut and doesn't want to part with it!

I have also made a solid commitment to do at least 20 minutes of exercise each day this week. I have been lucky to get 3 days per week in. So I asked Johnny to help me stay motivated and make sure he "kindly" reminds me that I promised myself I would!

I am not going to be bummed and upset with myself. Only going to try harder this week and realize I am not perfect and to take the time to commit to get this weight off. We shall see how next monday pans out.

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!

I'm sorry about your gain. I am SURE that you will take it off this week. I have heard that the closer you are to goal the harder it is to take off.

I hope Johnny is supportive of you and helps you to get in your exercise. My husband tries to be but last night he didn'****ch the kids for me so I could go walk in the rain. I really needed my last chance walk since I was so unsure of the sodium in the foods I ate yesterday. Sure enough bloated this morning and of course it is ALL HIS FAULT LOL.

Johnny and I are both the kind of people who needs the other to NAG them to keep them on track. Good thing we are both good at nagging, so he promised me he would MAKE me exercise. Because I will make every excuse in the book to avoid it. That is so terrible. I wish I was one of those people who LOVED to exercise.

I also wish I was one of those people who LOVED to clean......oh well, I am a slacker who needs yelled at, and I must embrace the lazy ass that I am......LOL

Good Job!  Glad it was a loss & not a gain!! :-)

I officially got back on the wagon last Wednesday. The Click protein powder came in and I LOVE IT!! I add it to my morning coffee and it lasts me all morning...and only 120 calories! So - since then I have lost a little over 3lbs. I will use today as my cut off and do Monday's along with you all. I have 20 lbs until I am at pre baby weight...and then an additional 10-14 to go to be at my feeling good weight! I haven't started exercising yet because my arthritis has been acting up and I can barely walk let alone do anything else.

BTW... I have some of Kay's protein chips. Are you interested? I think I have quite a few chile that I will never eat. I can get them out in the mail this week.

Hugs and have a GREAT week!!!
