Hello, my friends ~ Down to 145.5 this a.m. 23 days to lose the last 5.5 (that is if I keep off what I've lost.)

Woo Hoo!
I was still at 115 this morning, a victory considering the dinner and concert last weekend. I really want to drop 4-5 lbs before the AF Marathon and see if that shaves any time off my PR. Of course, I still want to have fun at the various events we have planned this summer. And am not willing to completely give up drinking. Or sugar.
Here's my goal for the week: On Saturday night, at the baseball game, I will have NO PEANUTS. Only beer. Lite beer. and only 2 of them.
There. I feel better.
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
nice job Leslie!!
holly - love your attitude!!
well, my drama is i'm back up those 3lbs i thought i lost ... so frustrating!!
this is so where i DONT want my weight to be -- up 2 or 3 down 2 or 3 like a yo-yo ........ dont feel like my eating is that bad so why cant i get it under control?
and yes, with summer and fun events coming i want to be good but not miserable -- so sam LIGHT is in my fridge for the occasional beer...........which i just might need if my Celtics keep me biting my nails tonight!

Down 2 to 168. But I did have some drama this week with a fluctuating scale. On Monday I get on and 169.4, higher than I thought it should be, get on again and now it says 171, try a third time . . . 173.4, 4th, 5th and 6th 173.4. No matter where I move it to get a different reading . . . 173.4. But gradually this week it gets back down and now it seems steady at 166 to 168 . . . why do they torture us like that?
Leslie, if you keep having weeks like that you should make your goal.
I haven't really given anything up, just reduced portions and no work doughnuts. I did give up coffee in January but that was not to lose weight.

199 and holding. Last weekend brought receptions and a graduation party. I've found that hostesses are not as pushy with food when I asked them when their baby is due or comment as to how brave they are for having a child at their age. The side of my face is bruised...but.....

I hear you. I haven't weighed myself in about 3 weeks so who knows what I weigh now. I've had to stop running due to my hamstring so I guess I had a little pity party with the food and beer. Oh well. I think I have righted myself, getting in an hour of yoga each day this week and the food intake has been back to about where it should be.
I need to get back on the stick so I will be stepping on the scale next week, like it or not.
Not at it at all.
up 3 pounds this week but I figured I would bounce back a little after I started eating again after my 10 day extreme calorie reduction. Lost 6 and gained 3 so the net loss is about 3 pounds so I'll take it. It is so hard this time of year with all the summer activities to be good on a regular basis. I usually can just count my calories and stay at 1500 and lose a steady 2 pounds a week and not have it effect my energy level but this time of year with open houses , cook outs , baseball games etc. A weekend can blow that plan right out of the water.
Good luck and good job for those who are winning the battle

I'm having to get back into my "Weight Watchers" discipline mode again. It's not easy sometimes, but it's eventually effective. Summer fruit season is definitely helping since I'm willing to forgo those little chocolate candies for watermelon, grapes, blueberries, cherries - Yum!

Yesterday I was down a pound and today I knew better than to get on the scale after having salty snacks last night. Just like Winston (hey, that's a good puppy name), I won't give up!!
