I've been in crazy remodeling mode, missed the last 2 weeks, but my weigh in is 135 - yay. Hard labor helps! LOL

**Catrin** · 07-16-2011, 02:36 AM

135.2

**klesko** · 07-16-2011, 05:29 AM

I was 135.4 yesterday. It is the first day after my shoulder surgery 2 weeks ago that I attempted to get ready for work (shower, dress) and drive there myself. I made it - but had bad hair and needed a nap when I got to work

I am getting better every day though!

Well, after one HELL of a week (boyfriend slept with another woman, electricty threatened. To be turned off, etc)...I finally weighed in this morning.

223 lbs!

There's a lot to be said for feeling like you want to puke all day long from stress and sorrow. Ya lose weight.

A fine week preceeding my birthday today....(sigh)

Love you girls!!

I was at 222 yesterday. I think because of lower activity level courtesy of chest congestion. Back to exercising and I think heading the right way this week.

Oh no, Julie.

Thank you hon!! I WAS eating better last week, too...so it wasn't just stress. However, since you mentioned my birthday yesterday, THAT day ended with me getting a traffic ticket and fine for $150. I HAD to ask if my week could get any worse, didn't I??!!

But you know what? Last week is OVER. The bad stuff is all behind. Good stuff ahead, and I can make it happen for MYSELF. I'm in control....of my own life. gotta keep telling myself that!

That's the perfect attitude!! You control your own destiny. Can't control what others do, but you can control your attitude and how you deal with things.
Only wonderful things from here on out for you!!! Up, up, and away!!

Great attitude, you are in control! Sending you some positive vibes

I was out of town, so didn't get to weigh in until today, I'm at 123.5.

**Tri Girl** · 07-21-2011, 06:45 AM

I'll weigh in today since I'll be out of town for the next two Fridays.

166.2

I don't know how in the world I gained 2.5 lbs. I want to give up. I just can't take this trying and then being disappointed by the scale. It ruins my whole day. I need to not let the scale determine my mood and self-worth, but I need to lose weight. Ugh...
I'm so tired of being fit but fat.

Maybe this is who I am and I need to make peace with it...

Oh my heaven! You know, you don't want to win the 'worst week EVER' award, right?

Trust me. I won it in Dec when my nephew was killed. Not an award I'm looking to win again, nor do I want to see any of you win it either!

Please take care of yourself. I'd say have a happy birthday but not sure how you'll do that this time. Maybe muddle through this one and next year have 2 wonderful days of birthday celebrating.

(Though sadly I do get the whole - bonus that I'm feeling so lousy I can't even think about eating. Just not a way I want any of us to lose any weight!)
