Great job, Lynette!!!!

Good morning everyone.

I am up to 158.6 - that's up 3 pounds from last week. I mistakenly thought we were going the other way, I guess! Kidding - I actually am on the first day of the lovely time of the month and 3-4 pounds of a gain is typical for me.

Next week will be the truth kicker!

Have a great day -

ITS FRIDAY!!!!!!!

last week: 124.5
this week: 124.5

I promise to work harder next week .

138.6-except for a cookie meltdown at my office this week I've been really well behaved and working out very consistently. Not a single glass of wine or irish coffee this week -of course those to things that right there were the main culprits for my weight gain!

I'm proud of me!

feh

I was 147 this morning, up two.

I've had a bad couple of "premenopausal losing my mind" days. It was better to just let myself eat than to buy a Ouzi, or burn down the house, or throw myself in front of a train. I'm glad it was only two pounds.

Anyone have any suggestions on handling these out of the blue angry/depressed days?

Yea team!!!! Congrats to everyone. Today's weight for me 133. Down mainly from controlling food intake.
Roadie I wish I had an answer for you. Best thing I can think of is to find something else to do besides eat or become an ax murderer. Maybe you could take a short walk.

Yuck! I'm up, I weighed in at 118.1! Maybe it's all this flem in my body from this cold that will never go away!!!

Anyone have any suggestions on handling these out of the blue angry/depressed days?

My best suggestion was given to me by my dear friend....... When I wake up in the morning and have yet to get out of bed and I am already mad at anyone or everyone in my family, I need to realize that the problem is ME, not THEM!!

That has done more for me than I would have ever imagined. I can take responsibility for my mood, give others extra grace, and take care of myself on those days.

I try to rest more - take a nap on those days. I try to not put extra responsibilities on myself on those days. Those are the days when I let the laundry pile up or the dishes go for a day. I pamper myself a bit more on those days. One way that I used to pamper myself is by food - which I try not to do so much now, but on occasion, it just works. I just weight the cost of the guilt that I will have afterwards. Sometimes it's just worth it.

140.2 when i got on the scale first thing this morning!! woohoo!

my starting weight was 145.6 but that might need to be amended because it was late monday morning when i did my first weigh-in.

but i'm being dedicated to my weightwatchers flex plan and riding every day, plus i did an hour on the trainer on tuesday.

i'm hungry . . .

Good morning! A cold and cough have kept me from exercising this week, but I did lose one pound, so am now 179. I'm motivated!
