That's the best approach for a long-term healthy life and weight, IMO. Eat an apple every day!

Thanks. I don't have good emotional health about food. I do need to lose weight still for good health and biking...but I need a little different focus to get my head back to a better place about it all. Thanks for the encouragement!

OK... down to the 170 earlier in week, but back to 172.5 today. How does that happen so quickly??? It's called cockiness... "look how much weight I lost!" Yeah, yeah... I guess back to the grindstone!

And cut back on the lattees.... I checked.. my Grande Non fat Carmel Macchiato's are 190 calories. I'll have to go to Nonfat Lattees and save the CM's for treats. I can do it!

Starfish: Let us know how the diary goes. I've considered it before but the time seemed overwhelming (I was writing it all down and looking up calories, though). Sounds like a very reasonable way to go about everything. I'll have to cruise the website and see what they offer.

Flybye: Welcome back - you're right... You should never regret weight gained on a vacation -- they are all worth every calorie!

I'm kind of in a similar place to Starfish, but I'm going to go about this a bit differently. I *almost* decided to just disappear from this challenge after weighing myself today, but I'm not going to do that as I don't think it'll help me. I don't know why I'm having such issues, but I do know what to do to change it.

I'm embarassed, but here it is: 167.8 Up 2.3 from last week!!

I'm not sure exactly why and it could be TTOM, but still...that's not pretty.

I'm committing to changing this trend: I joined MyFoodDiary.com and I'm tracking everything again (it's quick and easy!). I just started yesterday, so my hope is that by next week my weight will be going the right direction. Since I joined the last challenge (and continued with this one) I've gained like 7 lbs. Totally going the wrong way, right? Duh! I've also got DH on board with me to get back in shape. We've both become sloth-like...and that's just not acceptable.

I know I'm not contributing anything beneficial to this challenge right now, but I do think that keeping myself accountable here is going to help me reverse this trend. Honesty can be painful...but at the moment, I think it's what I need.

Thanks to all of you for putting up with me!

I am at 130 today. I got a little cocky this week as well. I was at 128 earlier in the week so I ate like a pig.

On a roll . . . down two pounds.

**solobiker** · 03-21-2008, 01:59 PM

Well, I am going between 148 and 149. I think my body just prefers to be there. I do keep a food journal which keeps me in line

.

GLC1968: Give yourself some time. Didn't you just move across the country. I have done that so I know how it is to try to get settled and workout. Hang in there.

It is easy, and the information you get in daily reports is pretty motivating, at least for me.

The first couple days, there was a little learning curve, and some extra time spent getting used to how best to do food searches. But, once I got a bunch of my normal foods loaded into this feature called "The Fridge," it started to get pretty quick and easy.

I'm up two pounds - 172, but that's ok! I'm gonna ride my bike tomorrow!

**bambu101** · 03-21-2008, 06:22 PM

This morning's weight was 178.8. When I looked at last week, I realized I screwed up and transposed the numbers- it was supposed to be 178.6, and I put in 176.8 by mistake-oops!

Anyway, last week was 178.6 and this week is 178.8- up .2. Time to get serious! I have been writing everything down, except on the weekends, but I think I need to do it 7 days a week.

**Over50Newbie** · 03-21-2008, 06:31 PM

140.0 - down .2 pounds.

Boy, do I want to see 139.

I weighed in at 157.8 ... slowly ... slowly ... slowly ...
