Hello Tbones!! 

I never went into summer mode.  I have been on a mission to get back on track and I must say I am very proud on myself.  In over six months I haven re-lost 28 pounds of 80 re-gained.  It has not been easy but I have persevered, been patient with myself and positive.  I know I can do it.  I am not giving up!  For the last 2 months the scale has not been kind to Molly.  I refused to stop my weight training though because I was losing inches from my exercising.  In August I was able to get in some outfits that I was not able to wear in April and May.  So this NSV kept me going when the scale failed me.  In July I messed up but in August I was eating enough calories to show a weight loss and I only lost 3 pounds for the month.  

It is only the 9th and I have already lost 6 pounds and I have not changed a thing from August.  So I am glad my patience paid off and I am very excited!  This will prepare me for anymore stalls.

Checking in, I am here, I am GREAT!  Had an awesome summer and have been riding 5 miles every morning and 15 - 20 miles every Sunday now with my husband,  and did a huge waterpark on the 4th of July; which is something I never thought I would do. 

My WOW moment was at the waterpark.  There is a big sign that says no "thongs"  in the waterpark but when you lose weight, your suit is too BIG and your on one of those great big slides, you get a thong whether you want one or not. 

Thank you for reminding us to check in.

Kattro the waterpark thing is so funny!! You're right though...waterparks were not in my vocabulary for so many years.  I didn't even own a swimsuit for 30 years.  I still have the very first one that my husband bought me after losing the weight.
