I need to give myself a pat on the back. I have been stuck between two sizes for a few weeks now -- using tight belts to hold up baggy pants (lovely sight) and not being able to get the next size zipped; or if zipped, being able to breathe.

Today, as I got dressed, I tried on that next size and voila, it zipped and I can breathe. Yippee.

On to the next size down ---- visualize success.

Yay! On the next size down in pants. I hate that in between.

Sorry sickness is going around. It is going around here, too. I'm trying to avoid it, but three out of five days of the work week I'm exposed to the public.

I've not done perfectly today. I was on the basic plan, but not MWL. I ate a vegan biscuit made with vegetable oil and soy milk. I ate it with my beans that I had brought from home for lunch. Was supposed to be beans and rice but I dumped my rice in the floor this morning when I was packing. :crybaby:

I have zero to report. It had to happen sooner or later. I was 100% MWL this week. I am not feeling discouraged though as my jeans are getting quite baggy and I am wearing a pair of slacks today that have been too tight to wear for a very long time and they now fit fine!

I lost 2 lbs. - about 90% on Plan (I had to eat out a couple of times). That's about a pound a week since I didn't report last Friday (being out of town). Kinda discouraging since everyone else seems to be doing better - but at least it's a loss - finally. :|

I won't be weighing in next Friday as I'll be out of town (in Mexico for my dtr's wedding).

Don't be discouraged!! I've had MANY a week of reporting no loss (or a gain) or a loss of .2, even when I was behaving. That time of the month, a little extra salt, and the scales jump up like they had their own little muscles. LOL!!! You may end up with a big loss a different week.

Have fun at the wedding! How exciting!

Lost 2 lbs. this week, 85% MWL, 15% SAD.

Went on what could only be classified as a binge yesterday in response to some significant stressors. It revealed much to me about how I put this weight on in the first place. My coping skills involved eating large amounts of junk food. Thank goodness my body had more sense than I did and reacted violently to to the onslaught. It has taught me a (physically and mentally) painful lesson. Now I know I can't go back... ever. Nor do I want to.

I awoke this morning with renewed hope and, for some reason, I remembered the lyrics to an old church song that seem to apply here:

"But then comes the morning, yesterday's sorrow behind. Wake! It's the day of your longing! Life returns. Mercy comes. It's morning."

Best of luck to all who are traveling or staying home.

Minus one pound for me this week. I am teetering on the border between overweight and normal, according to the BMI tables. And I actually put some of my shirts in the dryer, instead of carefully hanging them to dry - because it's OK if they shrink!
We have another sunny day here, and with snow on the ground it is quite pretty. Wishing everybody a losing day!

I am up 1 lb today and I know why. The week started out great and I was so enthused about staying on MWL. The end of the week deteriorated into a stress-eating bonanza. Yikes, I have to get a handle on that pattern of mine. (75% MWL, 25% cr*p)
Congrats to everyone on their losses - I'll be there with you again next week.

I am not weighing for a while. I am focusing on my plate, not my weight. I really need to let go the diet mentality. When I do decide to weigh myself, I will report. Have a great week everyone. :D

Good thinking debable. If you watch the plate, and keep everything MWL on the plate, you are sure to succeed. How many people are trying to bargain with the scale by periodic cheats, thinking that maybe they can eat x% SAD and still lose weight. If you focus on the plate, you don't need to worry about the scale.

As for watching the scale closely, I don't think it pays because you are concentrating on results, over which you have no short term control. If you concentrate on PERFORMANCE instead of results, you are sure to win. That fact applies to just about everything in life.
